Luke 16
1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Mundu mmonga mweavi na vindu vyamahele, avi na mundu wa kuyimilila lihengu laki. Mkolo vindu ayuwini kuvya myimilila lihengu yula ipomondana vindu.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
Mkolo vindu, akamkemela myimila lihengu yula na kumkota, ‘kyani cheniyuwana? Nigana univalangila vindu vyoha, muni nakuhotola kuyimalila lihengu langu kavili.’
3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
Myimalila lihengu yula akahololela mumtima waki, ‘Bambu wangu igana kunivinga lihengu, yati nikita kyani? Makakala ga kulima nakuhotola na kuhamba kuyupayupa ngati namngangu niwona soni.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Hinu nimanyili chakukita, muni penivingiwayi lihengu, muni vandu vanikemelayi kunyumba zavi.’”
5 So he called every one of his lord’s debtors [unto him], and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
“Akavakemela voha vevidayiwa vindu na bambu waki, mmonga mmonga akatumbula kumkota yula wa kutumbula. ‘Udayiwa vindu vilinga na bambu wangu?’
6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
Mwene akamyangula. ‘Makalangi kumi na mcheche ga mahuta ya mizeituni,’ Ndi myimalila lihengu yula akajova, ‘Tola balua laku lewidayiwa, tama kanyata, yandika saba.’
7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
Kangi akamkota yungi, ‘Veve wakalidayiwa vindu vilinga?’ Akayangula, ‘Magunila ga nganu miya yimonga.’ Muyimilila lihengu yula akamjovela. ‘Tola balua laku la gewidayiwa Yandika semanini.’”
8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
“Bambu yula akamulumba myimila lihengu mwachenjili yula, muni ahengili kwa luhala. Ndava vandu va mulima uwu vana luhala neju pevihenga vindu na vandu ngati avo, kuliku vandu vevavi munkosi wa Chapanga.” (aiōn g165)
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
Yesu akayendelela kujova, “Nikuvajovela nyenye, mjipatila vankozi kuhuma mumashonga na vindu vya pamulima uwu, muni pevimalika, vavakemela mumatamilu gavi ga magono goha. (aiōnios g166)
10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
Mundu yoyoha mwaisadikiwa muvindu videbe, mewa yati isadikiwa muvindu vyamahele. Na yoyoha angasadikiwa muvindu videbe isadikiwa lepi muvindu vyamahele.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
Ngati nyenye mwisadikiwa lepi mumashonga na vindu vya pamulima, ndi yani akuvagotolela na vindu vya uchakaka?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
Ngati nakuhotola kusadikiwa mumashonga na muvindu vya mundu yungi, yani mweihotola kuvagotolela vindu vinu mwavene?”
13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
“Kawaka mvanda mweihotola kuvahengela vabambu vavili, muni yati amgana mmonga na kumhakalila yungi, amala yati ilongosana na mmonga na kumuvevesa yungi. Mwihotola lepi kumuhengela Chapanga na mashonga.”
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
Vafalisayu pevayuwini genago, vakamvevesa Yesu, ndava vene vavi vandu vakugana mashonga,
15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Yesu akavajovela, “Nyenye mujilola mwavabwina palongolo ya vandu, nambu Chapanga ayimanyili mitima yinu. Ndava chindu chechilolekana chabwina neju palongo ya vandu, kwa Chapanga chilolekana chihakau.”
16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
“Malagizu ga Chapanga geampelii Musa na mayandiku ga valota va Chapanga gakokwiswi mbaka lukumbi lwa Yohani wa Kubatiza. Kutumbula penapo, Lilovi la Bwina la Unkosi wa Chapanga ukokoswa, na kila mundu iyingila kwa makakala.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Nambu yiyeywa neju kunani kwa Chapanga na mulima kuyaga kuliku kayandiku kadebe kuhunguliwa mu Malagizu ga Musa.”
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband committeth adultery.
“Mundu yoyoha mweakumuleka mdala waki na kugega yungi, mwenuyo ikita ugoni na mundu yoyoha mwaakumgega, mdala mwaalekiwi yula.” Namwene mewa ikita ugoni.
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
“Kwavili na mundu mmonga mweavi na vindu vyamahele, mwaawala nyula zezaguliwa kwa mashonga gamahele na nyula zezing'asima na kulya vindu vyabwina magono goha.”
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Na pamlyangu uvaha wa mundu mwenuyo, vavi kumvika mundu mmonga mngangu, liina laki Lazalu, mweavi na vilonda vyamahele.
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
Mngangu mwenuyo, anogela kupewa vyakulya vevyagwayi pahi kuhuma pameza ya mkolo vindu vyamahele yula. Hati mabwa gabwela na kumihyanga vilonda vyaki.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
Lwakabwela lukumbi Lazalu yula afwili na vamitumu va kunani vakamtola na kumuvika papipi ya Ibulahimu. Na mkolo vindu vyamahele mewa afwili vakamzika.
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Mkolo vindu vya mahele yula, paavi mukung'ahika neju kuligodi litali langali mwishu, akamlola Ibulahimu cha kutali na Lazalu papipi yaki. (Hadēs g86)
24 And 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 tormented in this flame.
Ndi akamkemela. Dadi, Ibulahimu! Nihengela lipyana, umtuma Lazalu ajwisa lung'onji lwaki mumanji na kunipolesa lulimi lwangu, muni ning'ahika neju mumotu uwu!
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
“Nambu Ibulahimu akamyangula, mwana vangu. Holalela, wapokili vindu vyabwina pawavi muwumi waku, na Lazalu opokili vindu vihakau. Hinu Lazalu ipumuliswa, na veve uvi mumang'ahiso.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that [would come] from thence.
Pamonga na genago, pagati ya nyenye na tete, kuvili na ligodi livaha, muni vevigana kubwela kwa nyenye nakuhotola, na vevigana kuwuka kwa nyenye kubwela kwa tete nakuhotola,
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:
Mkolo vindu vyamahele yula akajova, ‘Hinu Dadi Ibulahimu nikuyupa umtuma Lazalu ahamba kunyumba ya valongo vangu,
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
muni nivii nawu valongo mhanu, ahamba akavajovela vajiyangalila vakotoka navene vakotoka kubwela kumang'ahiso kuni.’”
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
“Ibulahimu akamjovela, kwenuko ‘Valongo vaku vavi na mayandiku ga Musa na vamlota va Chapanga, valeka, vavayuwanila venavo.’
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
Mkolo vindu vyamahele yula akajova kavili, ‘Lepi dadi Ibulahimu! Nambu ngati avahambalili mundu mweayukili kuhuma kwa vafwili, yati vileka kubuda kwavi.’
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Ibulahimu akajova, ‘Ngati nakuvayuwanila mayandiku ga Musa na vamlota va Chapanga, nakumyuwanila mundu yoyoha hati ngati ayukili kuhuma kwe vevafwili.’”
