Luke 16
1 He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
Yesu hlani mri koh ma, (Almajirama) “A ndi igu ri he niwo (arziki) na he ni indji wa ani ya bi ndu ni wu'a, U ba ye hla ni wu indji iwo, andi igu ya bi ndu ma a ri woma ni hi kle.
2 He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
Indji iwo'a a yo na miyen ahi nge mba mi wo? Ne lisafi ikpe wa u tie ni ya ndu'a u na la tie ndu, u ya indji ngana.
3 “The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I do not have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
Igu u ya indji ba (wakili) a ta mre, “Ahi nge mi ti, tun nde itie koh mu a vu me kpa ndu u ya? Mina he ni gbengble wami ya ron na, Ishan ni ti me mi na ya bre na.
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
Mi toh kpe u wa mi tie'a inde ba zu me ni ndu u ya indji (wakili), indji ba ka kpa me hi ni koh mba.
5 Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
Ayo bi wa itie koh ma ni huba ihlah, a miyen u mumlan, 'Ahi bren itie koh mu ni hu?'
6 He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
Andi uma a Garuwa Iyen Deri. Wa hla ni wu, kpa nvunvu u nha me, gbagbla nha hamsi nihi kuson kpa me ni ka don.
7 Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
Wa hla miyen ri, ibren ba hu? Wa tre, buhu alkama dari wa hla niwu, kpa nvunvu yi, ni nha tan mani
8 "His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this age (aiōn g165) are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.
U tie koh ma kber igu lah tre san nitu wa a tie whiri, imlen imri bi, zizanyi ni indji mba, ba whiri zan imri bi kpan. (aiōn g165)
9 I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails, they may receive you into consummate (aiōnios g166) tents.
Mijhla ni yiwu tie kpan nitu he niwo wa ana bie na. Wa ye nna wo kle, u ba ka kpa yi hi ni koh wa bi son hi ni tuntur. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
Indji wa ni tie njanji ni kpi tsitsa ma, A ni ti njanji ni rhi grama, u indji wa ana tie njanji ni kpi vi tsitsa mana, ana tie njanji ni kpi rigra ma na.
11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Inde u na tie bi ni wo wa ana u njanji na, u nhan ni kpa nyewme ni wu ni wo u njanji?
12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
Toh wu na ni tie njanji ni nji kpi u bari na, anha ni no wu inkleh u me?
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and Mammon.”
Ba indji wa ani ya biu tie ko hari, ni mi nton riri, se ka kpa ri na kari don, koh ka kpari tsri na kpari nyime. U na ya hu Irji mba inklen na.
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
Farisawa bi wa ba son inklen kpukpome'a ba wo tre naki wawu na nzah.
15 He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
Wa hla bawu, 'Biyi bi ban tu mbi ni shishi ndi ni kperi, ama Irji toh mi suron mbi. Ikpi wa ndi ba kpanyime niwu wawu, ahi kpi u shan ni Irji.
16 “The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
Attaura ni Litafi Anabawa ba he si ye ni ye Yohana rji ni nton ki ye zizan yi, ba tsikpa bubu bla tre Irji, indji wa wu ba ri ti tu ni gbengblen ni yo tu mba niwu.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
A hi fie me ni shulu mba ni meme ndu ba su e tu ni wa, iten riri u Attaura ndi joku migen.
18 “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
Indji wa a ga gran ma ni Iwa-ma na kpa iwa ri a zina a si tie, ni nidji wa a kpa iwa wailon ma zu a hi zina a si ti.
19 “Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
Indji iwo ri a shur kpimabi tie le nani zren zren ma ko ni nton ri meh.
20 A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
U indji u bre ri ba yo ni Lazaru ba nji ye ka yo ni nkotra koh ma, ni kpukpa inkpa-n ni kpa,
21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
Wa ni son rhi birhi wa a kuble ni tu tebru, u yawu ba ye nle kpa-n.
22 The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
Wa ye tsra ni nton wa indji u bre a ye kyu, u Maleku ba ye ban hi ni nhma ko wa Ibrahim he. U ndji u wo'a (arziki) a kyu u ba ban ka rju.
23 In Hades (Hadēs g86), he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.
wa ka ri ni koh lu, wa zun shishi hi ni shu, na toh Ibrahim gbugban mu ba sun mba Lazarus ni ngbala ko wa Ibrahim he. (Hadēs g86)
24 He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
Wa yra yi yo, Itie mu Ibrahim, toh me ni lo suron ni ton Lazarus, ndu ka vren wo ma son ni mma, na chu kpi yo ni mu ni lbe ndu jubu gbugbran mu.
25 “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
Ibrahim tre vuvren, Rimre ni sun me ni gbungblu, u rhi ro wo me ni kpa kpi bi bie ma, u Lazarus si tiya, u zizan mba ba ndu si toh roma ni wa, Iwu mba u si tiya.
26 Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
U naki me ba shi juju ni tsitsu bi vron me, ni ndu bi wa ba sun zagran ye niyi ba ka na yana, kuma biwa ba he ni yi ko mba ba ka na zagran ye nita na.
27 “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
U indji i wo tre, mi bre wu, Itie mu Ibrahim, u ka ton hi ni koh itie mu, u ngrji'a -
28 for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they will not also come into this place of torment.’
Mi he ni mri vayi mri-lon iton, ndu hi hron ba ni ndu ba na ye ni bubu yi na.
29 “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
Ibrahim hla niwu, ba he ni Musa ni anabawa, ndu ba wo ba.
30 “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
U indji i wo, a sa niwu andi, A'a Itie mu Ibrahim, indrjo ri ni ta rji ni mi bi kyu ka hla ni bawa, ba k'ma suron mba no Irji.
31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
U Ibrahim hla niwu, inde bana wo Musa ni anabawa bana, ko indji wa a kyu lunde na ka hla ni ba wu bana wo wu na.
