Luke 16
1 And he sayde also vnto his disciples, There was a certaine riche man, which had a stewarde, and he was accused vnto him, that he wasted his goods.
Yesu walabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, Kwalikuba muntu mubile walikukute kapitawo weshi kubona buboni. Bantu balamwamba muntu uyo eti lonongonga buboni bwa mwami wakendi.
2 And hee called him, and saide vnto him, Howe is it that I heare this of thee? Giue an accounts of thy stewardship: for thou maiest be no longer steward.
Lino walakuwa kapitawo wabuboni nekumwipusheti, “Nomba nicani ncondanyufunga pali njobe? Mpandulwile sha bukapitawo bwakobe pakwinga nkowelela kuba kapitawo sobwe.”
3 Then the stewarde saide within himselfe, What shall I doe? for my master taketh away from me the stewardship. I cannot digge, and to begge I am ashamed.
Lino kapitawo walatatika kuyeya mumoyo mwakendi eti, “Ninjiseconi mwami wakame layandanga kumfunya incito? Ndiya ngofu shakulima kayi kusenga kukutekumpa insoni.
4 I knowe what I will doe, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receiue mee into their houses.
Lino nceti njinse nici, kwambeti bantu bakantambule mumandabo, ndakafuma incito.”
5 Then called he vnto him euery one of his masters detters, and said vnto the first, Howe much owest thou vnto my master?
Lino walatika kukuwa bonse balikukute nkongole ku mwami wakendi umo ne umo nekwipusha mutanshi eti, “Walakweleta shingaye kumwami wakame?”
6 And he said, An hudreth measures of oyle. And he saide to him, Take thy writing, and sitte downe quickely, and write fiftie.
Neye walakumbuleti, “Ndalakweleta mingomo mwanda ya mafuta”. Neco kapitawo uyo walamwambileti, “Manta lipepa apo palembwa nkongole yakobe, ufwambane wikale panshi ulembepo eti, mingomo yakwana makumi asanu.”
7 Then said he to another, How much owest thou? And hee sayde, An hundreth measures of wheate. Then he saide to him, Take thy writing, and write foure score.
Lino walepusha umbi eti, “Nomba obe walakweleta shingaye?” Walakumbuleti, “Ndalakweleta masaka ali mwanda a maila.” Lino neye walamwambileti, “Manta Lipepa palembwa nkongole yakobe, Ulembepo masaka makumi asanu ne atatu.”
8 And the Lord commended the vniust stewarde, because he had done wisely. Wherefore the children of this worlde are in their generation wiser then the children of light. (aiōn g165)
Mwami wakendi uyo walalumbaisha kapitawo wa buboni wabula kushomeka pakucenjela kwakendi. Pakwinga bantu ba mucishi ca panshi pano nibasongo pa kubamba makani abo kupita bantu bali mu mumuni wa Lesa. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say vnto you, Make you friends with the riches of iniquitie, that when ye shall want, they may receiue you into euerlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
Yesu walapitilisha kubambileti, “Ndamwambilinga kamulicanina banenu babuboni bwa mucishi cino kwambeti, buboni bwakapwa nibakamutambule mumanda amuyayaya. (aiōnios g166)
10 He that is faithfull in the least, hee is also faithful in much: and he that is vniust in the least, is vniust also in much.
Muntu uliyense washomeka pabintu bing'ana, nakashomeke pa bintu bingi. Uyo wabula kushomeka pabintu bing'ana, nteshi akashomeke pabintu bingi.
11 If then ye haue not ben faithful in the wicked riches, who wil trust you in the true treasure?
Lino na nkamwashomeka pabuboni bwa pacishi cino, nomba niyani eti akamushome nekumupani buboni bwancincine?
12 And if ye haue not bene faithfull in another mans goods, who shall giue you that which is yours?
Na kamulimwabula kushomeka pabuboni bwa bantu bambi, nomba niyani eti akamupeni buboni bwelela kuba bwenu?”
13 No seruaunt can serue two masters: for either he shall hate the one, and loue the other: or els he shall leane to the one, and despise the other. Yee can not serue God and riches.
“Kuliya musebenshi wela kusebensela bami babili, pakwinga ukute kupatapo umbi nekusuna umbi, nambi kunyumfwila umbi nekusula umbi. Anu ekwambeti nkamwela kusebensela Lesa ne buboni.”
14 All these thinges heard the Pharises also which were couetous, and they scoffed at him.
Bafalisi mpolabanyumfwa makani aya balatatika kushibuluka Yesu pakwinga balo balikusunisha mali.
15 Then he sayde vnto them, Yee are they, which iustifie your selues before men: but God knoweth your heartes: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight of God.
Nsombi Yesu walabambileti, “Amwe mukute kulibonesha kubantu eti mwalulama, necikabeco Lesa winshi myoyo yenu. Pakwinga bintu byonse bantu mbyobakute kwambeti byaina, nsombi kuli Lesa kuliya mobibelele.”
16 The Lawe and the Prophets endured vntill Iohn: and since that time the kingdome of God is preached, and euery man preasseth into it.
Milawo Lesa njalapa Mose ne Maswi alalemba bashinshimi byali kusebensa cindi ca Yohane mubatishi. Kufuma pacindico Mulumbe Waina wa Bwami bwa Lesa ukute kukambaukwa, kayi ne bantu bangi baleleshenga ne ngofu kwambeti bengile mu Bwami ubu.
17 Nowe it is more easie that heauen and earth shoulde passe away, then that one title of the Lawe should fall.
Nsombi capuba kwambeti kwilu necishi kupwa, kupita liswi limo lya Milawo kupwa ngofu.
18 Whosoeuer putteth away his wife, and marieth another, committeth adulterie: and whosoeuer marieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adulterie.
“Muntu uliyense laleke mukashendi nekweba mukashi naumbi, lenshi bupombo. Neye uyo lebe mutukashi ngwalaleka munendi lenshinga bupombo”.
19 There was a certaine riche man, which was clothed in purple and fine linnen, and fared well and delicately euery day.
Kwalikuba muntu mubile walikufwala byadula uyo walikulya cena lyonse.
20 Also there was a certaine begger named Lazarus, which was laide at his gate full of sores,
Lino kwalikuba muntu wapenga lina lyakendi walikuba Lazalo. Walikukute bilonda mubili wonse, walikusuna kona pa cishinga ca ng'anda ya muntu mubile uyo.
21 And desired to bee refreshed with the crommes that fell from the riche mans table: yea, and the dogges came and licked his sores.
Lazalo walikaminina mate uto twakulya twalikulaka panshi pa tebulu ya muntu mubile uyo, naboyo bakabwa bali kabesa akumyanguta pabilonda byakendi.
22 And it was so that the begger died, and was caried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome. The rich man also died, and was buried.
Muntu wapenga uyo walafwa, bangelo balamutwala kwilu mumakasa a Abulahamu. Muntu mubile uyo neye walafwa nekumufukila mumanda.
23 And being in hell in torments, he lift vp his eyes, and sawe Abraham a farre off, and Lazarus in his bosome. (Hadēs g86)
Lino mubile uyo mpwalikupenga mumusena wa bafu, walalanga kwilu nekubona Lazalo kulubasu lwa Abulahamu nkali patali. (Hadēs g86)
24 Then he cried, and saide, Father Abraham, haue mercie on mee, and sende Lazarus that hee may dippe the tip of his finger in water, and coole my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.
Lino walolobesha eti, “Ta Abulahamu kamunyumfwilako inkumbo. Kamutumani Lazalo kwambeti abike cikumo cakendi mumenshi kwambeti atontoshe lulemi lwakame pakwinga ndashupiki mumulilo muno.”
25 But Abraham saide, Sonne, remember that thou in thy life time receiuedst thy pleasures, and likewise Lazarus paines: now therefore is he comforted, and thou art tormented.
Lino Abulahamu walambeti, “Mwaname kwanuka mpowalikuba muyumi walatambula bintu byonse byaina, neye Lazalo walatambula bintu byeshikubaba. Lino neye kuno wakondwa, obe uli mumapensho anene.
26 Besides all this, betweene you and vs there is a great gulfe set, so that they which would goe from hence to you, can not: neither can they come from thence to vs.
Kayi pakati petu nenjobe pali cisengu, cakwambeti kuliya muntu ulikuno wela kucikonsha kusabuka kwisa uko, nambi uli uko kwisa kuno.”
27 Then he said, I pray thee therfore, father, that thou wouldest sende him to my fathers house,
Kufumapo mubile uyo walambeti, “Anu ndasengenga Ta, mutume Lazalo kung'anda ya bata.
28 (For I haue fiue brethren) that he may testifie vnto them, least they also come into this place of torment.
Pakwinga nkute bakwetu basanu. Enga abacenjeshe kwambeti naboyo batakesa kumusena wa mapensho kuno.”
29 Abraham said vnto him, They haue Moses and the Prophets: let them heare them.
Nsombi Abulahamu walambeti, “abo bakute mabuku alalembwa ne Mose ne bashinshimi, kabanyumfwani byalembwamo.”
30 And he sayde, Nay, father Abraham: but if one came vnto them from the dead, they will amend their liues.
Nendi walakumbuleti, sobwe ta Abulahamu, na umbi ufuma kubafu nekuyako, mpobela kusanduka kubwipishi bwabo.
31 Then he saide vnto him, If they heare not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rise from the dead againe.
Abulahamu walamwambileti, “na nkabanyumfwilinga Mabala alalembwa ne Mose ne bashinshimi nteshi bakanyumfwepo nambi umbi akapunduke kubafu.”
