< Luke 16 >
1 Then He said further to His disciples: “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, who was accused to him of wasting his goods.
फेर यीशु नै चेल्यां ताहीं एक और उदाहरण देकै कह्या, “किसे साहूकार का एक भण्डारी था, अर लोग्गां नै उसकै स्याम्ही उसपै यो इल्जाम लाया के वो तेरा सारा धन उड़ा देवै सै।
2 So he called him in and said to him: ‘What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be manager.’
आखर म्ह उसनै अपणे भण्डारी ताहीं बुलाकै कह्या, ‘यो के सै मै तेरे बाबत के सुणु सूं?’ अपणे भण्डारीपण का हिसाब दे, क्यूँके तू आग्गै तै भण्डारी कोनी रह सकदा।”
3 Then the manager said within himself: ‘What shall I do? My master is taking the management away from me. I do not have strength to dig; I am ashamed to beg
फेर भण्डारी सोच्चण लाग्या, इब मै के करुँ? क्यूँके मेरा माल्लिक इब भण्डारी का काम मेरै तै खोस्सै सै। माट्टी खोदण का काम मेरै तै होवै कोनी, अर भीख माँगदे होए मन्नै शर्म आवैगी।
4 —I know what I will do, so that whenever I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.’
मै जाण ग्या के मै के करुँ, ताके मै जिब भण्डारी कै काम तै हटाया जाऊँ तो माणस मन्नै अपणे घरां म्ह ले लेवै।
5 Summoning each one of his master's debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
फेर उसनै अपणे माल्लिक के देणदारां ताहीं एक-एक करकै बुलाया अर पैहल्या तै बुझ्झया, “तेरे उप्पर मेरै माल्लिक का कितना कर्जा सै?”
6 And he said, ‘A hundred baths of olive oil.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
उसनै कह्या, “सौ मण तेल,” फेर उसनै उसतै कह्या, “अपणा खात्ता अर बही ले अर बैठकै तावळा पचास लिख दे।”
7 Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill and write eighty.’
फेर उसनै दुसरे तै बुझ्झया, “तेरे पै कितना कर्जा सै?” दुसरे नै कह्या, सौ मण गेहूँ, फेर उसनै उसतै कह्या, “अपणा खात्ता अर बही लेकै अर बैठकै अस्सी लिख दे।”
8 The master even ‘commended’ the dishonest manager, because he had acted shrewdly. The sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the Light. (aiōn )
माल्लिक नै उस अधर्मी भण्डारी ताहीं सराहया के उसनै कितनी चतुराई तै काम करया सै। क्यूँके इस दुनिया के माणस अपणे बखत के माणसां के गेल्या व्यवहार म्ह चाँदणे के माणसां तै घणे चलाक सै। (aiōn )
9 “I even say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that whenever you fail, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings! (aiōnios )
अर मै थमनै कहूँ सूं के दुनिया की धन-दौलत तै भले काम करकै अपणे खात्तर साथी बणा ल्यो, ताके जिब वो धन दौलत न्ही रहवैं तो अनन्त काल के घर म्ह थारे स्वागत हो। (aiōnios )
10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.
वे लोग जो थोड़े-तै भी थोड़े म्ह भी बिश्वास जोग्गे सै, वे घणे म्ह भी बिश्वास जोग्गे होंगे, जो थोड़े-तै भी थोड़े म्ह बेईमान सै, वो घणा म्ह भी बेईमान होंगे।
11 If therefore you have not been faithful with the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the genuine?
इस करकै जिब थम संसारिक धन म्ह बिश्वास जोग्गा न्ही ठहरे, तो साच्चा धन थमनै कौण देवैगा?
12 And if you have not been faithful in what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?
अर जै थम संसारिक धन-दौलत न इस्तमाल करण म्ह भरोस्सेमंद न्ही ठहरे, तो परमेसवर थमनै सुर्गीय धन क्यूँ देवैगा?
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 God and mammon!”
“कोए नौक्कर दो मालिकां की सेवा एक बखत पै न्ही कर सकदा, क्यूँके वो एक तै बैर अर दुसरे तै प्यार राक्खैगा, या एक तै मिल्या रहवैगा अर दुसरे नै छोट्टा जाणैगा। थम परमेसवर अर धन दोनुआ की सेवा न्ही कर सकदे।”
14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were also listening to all these things, and they were ridiculing Him.
फरीसी जो लोभ्भी थे, ये सारी बात सुणकै, मखौल करण लाग्गे।
15 So He said to them: “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. That which is exalted among men is an abomination before God.
यीशु नै उनतै कह्या, “थम तो माणसां कै स्याम्ही खुद नै धर्मी ठहराओ सो, पर परमेसवर थारे मन नै जाणै सै, क्यूँके जो चीज माणसां की निगांह म्ह महान् सै, वा परमेसवर कै लोवै घृणित सै।”
16 The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed, and every one is trying to force his way into it.
जब तक यूहन्ना आया, जिब ताहीं मूसा के नियम-कायदे अर नबी का प्रभाव माणसां पै रह्या। उस बखत तै परमेसवर के राज्य का सुसमाचार सुणाया जाण लागरया सै, अर हरेक उस म्ह तेज्जी तै इसकी ओड़ खिचे आण लागरे सै।
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the Law to fail.
अकास अर धरती का टळ जाणा आसान सै, पर नियम-कायदा की हर छोट्टी बात भी पूरी होकै रहवैगी।
18 “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.
उदाहरण के तौर पै “जो कोए अपणी घरआळी नै छोड़कै दुसरी तै ब्याह करै सै, वो जारी करै सै, अर जो कोए इसी छोड्डी होई बिरबान्नी तै ब्याह करै सै, वो भी जारी करै सै।”
19 “Now there was a certain rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
फेर यीशु नै कह्या, “एक साहूकार माणस था जो बैंजनी अर मलमल के महँगे लत्ते पहरदा अर हरेक दिन ऐसो-आराम तै अर मौज तै रहवैं था।
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores, who had been placed at his gate,
लाजर नाम का एक कंगाल जिसकै घा: होरे थे उसकी देहळी पै छोड़ दिया जावै था।
21 just wanting to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table—why even the dogs would come and lick his sores!
अर वो चाहवै था, के साहूकार के मेज की जूठण तै अपणा पेट भरै, उरै ताहीं के कुत्ते भी आकै उसके घा: नै चाट्या करै थे।”
22 In due time the beggar died and was carried away to Abraham's bosom by the angels. “The rich man also died and was buried.
इसा होया के वो कंगाल मरग्या, अर सुर्गदूत्तां नै उस ताहीं लेकै अब्राहम की गोद म्ह पोंहच्या। वो साहूकार भी मारया अर गाड्या गया,
23 And in Hades he looked up and saw Abraham at a distance, and Lazarus very close to him. And being in torment, (Hadēs )
साहूकार नरक म्ह गेरया गया, अर नरक की ताड़ना तै दर्द म्ह पड़े होए अपणी निगांह ठाई, दूर तै ए अब्राहम के साथ लाजर ताहीं देख्या। (Hadēs )
24 he called out, saying, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; because I am tormented by this flame!’
फेर उसनै रुक्का मारकै कह्या, हे पिता अब्राहम, मेरै पै दया करकै लाजर नै भेजदे, ताके वो अपणी आन्गळी का कुणा पाणी म्ह डबोकै मेरी जीभ नै शीळी करै, क्यूँके मै इस आग तै तड़फूं सूं।
25 But Abraham said: ‘Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus had bad things; but now he is being comforted, and you tormented.
“पर अब्राहम बोल्या, ‘हे बेट्टे, याद कर, के तन्नै अपणी जिन्दगी म्ह बढ़िया तै बढ़िया चीज ले ली सै’, अर उस्से तरियां लाजर नै तुच्छ चीज, पर इब वो उरै सुख अर शान्ति पा रह्या सै, अर तू तड़फ रह्या सै।
26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can anyone from there cross over to us.’
इन सबके अलावा म्हारै अर तेरे बिचाळै एक बड़ी खाई ठहराई गई सै, के जो उरै तै तेरी ओड़ आणा चाहवै, वे ना जा सकै, अर ना कोए उड़ै इस पास्सै म्हारै धोरै आ सकै।”
27 Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,
साहूकार बोल्या, तो हे पिता, मै तेरे तै बिनती करुँ सूं, के उस ताहीं मेरै बाप कै घरां भेज,
28 because I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’
क्यूँके मेरे पाँच भाई सै, वो उनकै स्याम्ही इन बात्तां की गवाही दे, इसा ना हो के वे भी दुख की जगहां म्ह आवै।
29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’
अब्राहम नै उसतै कह्या, उनकै धोरै तो मूसा के नियम-कायदे, नबी अर नबियाँ की किताब सै, वे उनकी सुणै।
30 So he said to him, ‘Oh no, father Abraham—if someone from the dead should go to them, they will repent!’
साहूकार बोल्या, “न्ही, पिता अब्राहम, पर जै कोए मरे होया म्ह तै उनकै धोरै जावै, तो वे पाप करणा छोड़ देंगे।”
31 He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone should rise from the dead.’”
अब्राहम नै उसतै कह्या, “जिब वे मूसा नबी अर नबियाँ की न्ही सुणदे, तो जै मरे होया म्ह तै कोए जी भी जा, तोभी उसकी कोनी मान्नैगें।”
