< Luke 16 >

1 And he said also to [his] disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and he was accused to him as wasting his goods.
Jisu ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwa minto, “Ho hoka nyitvnv nyi ako dooto nw pakbu go dooto hv ninyigv yikungyira nga kaayataya nvgo. Nyitvnv nyi anga ninyigv ogu rungyanv angv ninyigv morko nga mva dukv vla mintamto,
2 And having called him, he said to him, What [is] this that I hear of thee? give the reckoning of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.
vkvlvgabv nw rungya nvnga arwnglo goklwkto okv minto, ‘Ngo noogv lvkwng nga tvvdunv si ogu gokula? No ngoogv yikungyira nga kaayataya nama vdw godw ogumvnwngnga ngam kaatam lakubv, ogulvgavbolo no vdwloka ngoogv rungyapayanam gubv rinyu kumare.’
3 And the steward said within himself, What shall I do; for my lord is taking the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
Pakbu angv nw atu hv minsuto, ‘Ngoogv atu nga ngoogv nokori loka naalin tvduku. Ngo ogu rila kuse gubvri? Ngo dvnam lvgabv rongo ridubv gwlwk doyama, okv giago karse ngaaka yinying yapv.
4 I know what I will do, that when I shall have been removed from the stewardship I may be received into their houses.
Vjak ngo chinduku ngo ogugo risedw! Vbvrikunamv vdwlo ngo nokori lokv linre kudw, ngo ajin jinre bunu nga bunugv naam lo alvbv aamure.’
5 And having called to [him] each one of the debtors of his own lord, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
Vkvlvgabv nw ninyigv atu gvlo dvdu doonv nyi vdwa goklwk toku. Nw atokchogv anga tvvkato, ‘No ngo atu gvlo vkamgu narpvnv?’
6 And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take thy writing and sit down quickly and write fifty.
Nw mirwkto, ‘Olib tvli vkv pumpa lvngo narto,’ ‘Siinv noogv jise ngv,’ rungyanv angv ninyia minto, ‘dootungto okv chamngu go lvkgapto.’
7 Then he said to another, And thou, how much dost thou owe? And he said, A hundred cors of wheat. And he says to him, Take thy writing and write eighty.
Vbvrikunamv nw kvvbi akonyi tvkato, ‘Okv no—vdwgo narpvnv?’ Nw mirwkto, ‘Giu vkv tagiam munv hejar go,’ ‘siinv noogv jise ngv,’ rungyanv ninyia minto; ‘lwngpinv go lvkgapto.’
8 And the lord praised the unrighteous steward because he had done prudently. For the sons of this world are, for their own generation, more prudent than the sons of light. (aiōn g165)
Pakbu mvvlaknv gv Atu hv ninyia vbv rungkup runglik la ridanam lvgabv ninyia hartv toku; ogulvgavbolo nyiamooku so gv nyi vdwv achialvbv bunu rungkup runglik la lounglo rinv nyi vdwa kaiyabv ridu.” (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends with the mammon of unrighteousness, that when it fails ye may be received into the eternal tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
Okv Jisu mimbwngla minto, “Okv vkvlvgabv ngo nonua mindunv: Nonuno atuv nyiamooku so gv yikungyira nga lvkobv ajin jinlaka, vkvlvgabv um vdwlo si topu rikudw, nonua simabv doobwng jiku naam lo alvbv aamu riku. (aiōnios g166)
10 He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much; and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
Yvvdw miangnv yikungyira nga alvbv mvnging dubv ridunv hv kainv yikungyira loka achialvbv kaiyabv mvnging dubv ridunv, okv yvvbunudw miangnv yikungyira lo jwkjwkvrwk bv mvngging dubv rima dunv v kainv yikungyira loka jwkjwkvrwkbv mvngging dubv rima dunv.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true?
Hv bolo, vbvrikunamv, nonu nyiamooku so gv yikungyira nga alvbv mvnging dubv rinyu mabolo oguaingbv jvjvnv yikungyira nga mvnging dubv rinyure?
12 and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who shall give to you your own?
Nonu nyi kvvbi gvbvrinv yikungyira nga mvnging dubv riji mabolo, yvvla no gvbvrinv yikungyira nga nam jijinv?
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will cleave to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
“Pakbuv yvvka atu anyi gv nyirabv rinyu mare; nw akonyi pakre okv akonyi kaanwng mare; nw akonvgv minam a tvvre okv akonvgv nga tvvmare. No Pwknvyarnv nyila morko nga lvkobv rijivngji nyulamare.”
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and mocked him.
Vdwlo Parisis vdwv so mvnwng sum tvvtokudw, bunu Jisunyi nyarjito, ogulvgavbolo bunu morko nga mvngbiuto.
15 And he said to them, Ye are they who justify themselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what amongst men is highly thought of is an abomination before God.
Jisu bunua minto, “Nonuno atubongv nyi vdwgv kaagialo jvjv nvgobv minsunv vbvritola Pwknvyarnv nonugv haapok ha chindu, yikungyira vdwv nyi gv lvgabv kainv arv doonv gubv rinv ngv, Pwknvyarnv gvlo ogu arv ka kaama.”
16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the glad tidings of the kingdom of God are announced, and every one forces his way into it.
“Moses gv Pvbv okv nyijwk vdwgv lvknam vdwv Jon Baptist gv dw lobv ribwngto; okv ho koching nga Pwknvyarnv gv Karv gv lvkwng Alvnv Yunying nga mintam raptoku, nyi mvnwngngv ho Karv lo aadu bv gwnglilala nyadu.
17 But it is easier that the heaven and the earth should pass away than that one tittle of the law should fail.
Pvbv gv gaam achukguka minggap nama ria jemam svnga nyido gvla kvdw gv nyitv namv nyepu yare.”
18 Every one who puts away his wife and marries another commits adultery; and every one that marries one put away from a husband commits adultery.
“Yvv nyi akonv atugv nywng nga toa tokula ako kvvbi nyimvmvvga go nywng mvku bolo hv yoomurnv; okv toanam nyimvmvvga anga yvv nywng mvdunv hvvka yoomurnv.”
19 Now there was a rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day.
“Ho hoka nyi nyitvnv ako dooto nw kainv arv doonv vjia kooto okv achialvbv lokia himpukain la svngminto.
20 And [there was] a poor man, by name Lazarus, [who] was laid at his gateway full of sores,
Ho hoka heemanv nyi ako dooto aminv Lajaras, ungvtarv ngv rara nvgo, hum nyitv nyi gv naam agi lo vvpvkinamgo,
21 and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming licked his sores.
nyitv nyi gv dvkulo dvala hoolin nama dvpa yare vla mvngnv go. Iki vka aala ninyigv ungngv nga dvriak riakbwngto.”
22 And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried.
“Heemanv nyi angv sitoku okv nyidogindung vdwv ninyia gvvtoku Abrahamnyi lvkobv nyidomooku gv dvpam lo doomuto. Nyitv nyi v sitoku okv nyibung riitoku,
23 And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
okv uyumooku bolo nw achialvbv hirukaya toku, nw kaadung kunamv adukoyo lo Abraham okv ninyigv lvkobv Lajarasnyi doodubv kaapa toku. (Hadēs g86)
24 And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.
Vkvlvgabv nw goklin toku, ‘Abu Abraham! nga aya labvka, okv Lajarasnyi ninyigv lakching nga isi lo chibok mogvrila achok godaka ngoogv riu sum chapke molabvka, ogulvgavbolo ngo si vmv arwng si achialvbv hirukaya dvkukv!’
25 But Abraham said, Child, recollect that thou hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and thou art in suffering.
Vbvritola Abraham minto, ‘Mvngpa tokuka, ngoogv kuunyilo nga, noogv turla singrilo nam alvnv mvnwngnga jimiro, Lajaras hoka alvmanv mvnwngnga paariato. Vbvritola vjak nw soka atuv himpu pumin dukunv, no hoka hirukaya rikulo.
26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who [desire to cross] from there pass over unto us.
So ogu mvnwng sum kayu tvla, no gvla ngoogv pingko si kairungnv kobung go doodunv, vkvlvgabv yvvdw sokv noogv hoka vngrap dubv ritv nvngv vbv rinyu madunv, vmajeka yvvka noogv hokvkongv ngonugv so linyu madunv.’
27 And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father,
Nyitvnv nyi angv minto, ‘Vbvrikunamv ngo nam kodwkkrwkla koola mindunv, Abu Abraham, Lajarasnyi ngoogv abu gv naam lo vngmu jilabv,
28 for I have five brothers, so that he may earnestly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
v ngo boru angu go doopvnv. Ninyia vngmula okv bunua gamrw motoka, bunuka so hirukayaku so aama dubv.’
29 But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.
Abraham minto, ‘Noogv boru vdwv Mosesnyi okv nyijwk vdwa doogv sudu bunua gamrw nvngv; noogv boru vdwv bunugv ogugo minam a tvvrung svngv.’
30 But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.
Nyitvnv nyi hv mirwksito, ‘Hv pwngmare, Abu Abraham! Vbvritola siro kunv nyi gonv turkur laku okv bunua minbolo, vbvrikubolo bunu bunugv rimur lokv linreku.’
31 And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among [the] dead will they be persuaded.
Vbvritola Abraham minto, ‘Bunu Moses nyila Nyijwk vdwa tvvmabolo, bunua mintap nyulamare sikunv akonv turkur kujvka.’”
