Luke 16
1 Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
Ke Jesu go maadi o ŋɔdkaaba, “piado bá den ye, ki pia o ŋanlmankublo, ke bi ti cua ki tuali o ke o ŋalmankublo yeni biandi o piama.
2 So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’
ke o piado yini o ki maadi o “Be n teni ke min gbia apo ya maama ki ŋani? Tieni nni a ŋalmankubli cɔli, kelima a ji kan ya tie n ŋalmankublo.”
3 The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my position? I am too weak to dig and too ashamed to beg.
K o ŋalmankublo maadi o pali nni “N ji ba tie ni ledi i, n cab áa ń ji bua beli nni li tuonli ne? N ji ki pia paalu ki ko, ke n ya miadi mo, li pia i fee
4 I know what I will do, so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
N bani min ba tieni yaala ke bi ya beli nni n ligkubli tuonli mi ba cani ya niba ń tuo ki ga n cangu”
5 And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
Yeni, ke o yini o canbaa pandanba yendo yendo, ki buali yua n kpia ki cua “A pia n canbaa panli yiŋa i?
6 ‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager. ‘Sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
Ke o maadi, mi kpama golindi kobga.” K o maadi o, “Ga a pantili ki kali tonma ki diani golindi piimu
7 Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your bill and write eighty,’ he told him.
Ke o ŋalmankublo buali tiano, “ke fini mo, a pia n canbaa panli yiŋa i? Ke o mo maadi “Mi ŋalkaama kpalpiadi kobga” Ke o maadi o “Ga a pantili ki diani kpapiadi piiniin
8 The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the sons of light. (aiōn g165)
Canbaa den pagi ya ŋalmankublo n den ki tiegi yeni kelima o den tieni bu nunfanbu. Kelima ŋanduna ne bila fani yeni bi lieba ki cie mi yenyenma nni ya bila (aiōn g165)
9 I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
N maadi yi, Taa mani i ŋanduna janbi ŋalmani ki kpaani danlinba, li ya ti gben, yin baa yaaba n ba ga i cangu naani ke li ki pia gbenma. (aiōnios g166)
10 Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
Yua n tiegi yaala n wa nni, ba ya tiegi yaala n yabi nni mo. Ke yua n ki tiegi yaala n wa nni kan ya tiegi yaala n yabi nni mo.
11 So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
A ya ki fidi ki kubi i janbi ŋalmani, ŋma ba dugi apo, ki piani a o ŋalmani yaali n mɔni i?
12 And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
Bi ya ki dugi a po ŋan kubi nitɔba ligi, maama, ŋma ba teni a a ligceli?
13 No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
Naaciemo bá kan fidi ki ya pia canbaanba bilie. Kelima, o ba fidi ki ya nani yendo ki nan bua o lielo, lan yaa ka wan cɔlni canbaa kpialo ki nan fali canbaalielo. A kan fidi ki ya ŋua U Tienu leni ŋalmani
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
Farisienba ń gbadi li maama yeni, ke bi ji ñuadi o.
15 So He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is prized among men is detestable before God.
Ke o maadi ba. “I ba maadi ki baa i mɔni, bi niba kani, ama U Tienu bani i pala. Bi niba ń nua yaali ke li tie kpiagdi yeni, U Tienu wani ya nunga nni ke li tie cancagndi i.
16 The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
Yikodi maama yeni bi sawalpuaba n den kubi, ki ŋmagdi u dogu yo hali ke Janbatisi ti cua. Lan cili lanyogu, bi wangi U Tienu diema laabaalŋamo, nilo kuli tiendi ania ki kpaani wan kua lien nni
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.
Ama tanpoli leni ki tinga pendima ki paa ki cie li bali maama nni lanbyenli ń bodi ki kan tieni.
18 Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Ya nilo n ñani o denpua ki kuani potiano conbi, yua n kuani ya pua n ñani o calo kani mo conbi.
19 Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
Cengi mani, ŋalmandaano bá den ye ki la ti tiakpiagdi, ki di ti jiemandi, ki ye u yenyienŋamu nni daali kuli, ke o pali mani boncianla o piama po.
20 And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores
O luodo mo den ye, ke bi yi o Lasari, ke o dua o piado bulñɔjabu kani, ki pia a nala o gbanu po kuli.
21 and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
O den suni ke wan baa ya jiejɔgdi n baali o piado jedikaanu, bá i sangbanli den lagdi o nala i.
22 One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
Ke o luodo tikpe, ke malekinba tugi o, ki duoni o Abalahama kani. O piado mo ń kpe, ban pii o,
23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side. (Hadēs g86)
Wan den ye o mubuogu nni ki laadi fala, ki ti yaadi ki diidi, ki la Abalahama hali fagma ke o wobi Lasari ki tabni o pali. (Hadēs g86)
24 So he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. For I am in agony in this fire.’
Ke o yigni paama ki maadi, “Ti Báa Abalahama, diidi nni leni mi niñima, ki sɔni Lasari wan tuu mi ñima leni o nubili, ki maani n lanbu po, bun sɔngi, kelima n ye leni mi cacagma i ku mubuogu nni.
25 But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.
Ama ke Abalahama maadi “N biga ya tiani ke a yenyienu nni, a den baa yaala n ŋani boncianla a po ke Lasari mo den laadi fala boncianla. Ama mɔlane, o ji ye ne, u yenyienŋamu nni, ke a mo falaciamu nni
26 And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’
Li ya ñani lankani i, buociangu ye siiga nni, ki paadi tinba yen yinba, ke nilo kan fidi ki ña ti kani ki gedi i kani, obá mo kan fidi ki ña i kani ki cua ti kani.
27 ‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,
O ŋalmandaano ń maadi “N Báa Abalahama, mia sugli ki sɔni o n báa diegu nni.
28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
Kelima n pia naataanjaba mu, wan tuodi ki tiadi ba. N jie ke bi mo ń da ti pundi ya falacimu nni ke n ye ne.
29 But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
Ama ke Abalahama maadi, “Bi pia Moyiisi leni bi sawalpuaba maama; ban cengi mani “
30 ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’
O piado ń guani ki maadi, “li kan tuo, ti Báa Abalahama, ama nilo ya ñani bi kpienba kani, ki gedi ki maadi ba, bi ba lebdi bi yama”
31 Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
Ama ke Abalahama maadi, “Bi ya ki cengi Moyiisi leni bi sawalpuaba maama, bá nilo ya yiedi bi tinkpiba siiga, bi kan cengi o.”
