Luke 16
1 And He also said to His disciples, “A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods;
Yesu hlani mri koh ma, (Almajirama) “A ndi igu ri he niwo (arziki) na he ni indji wa ani ya bi ndu ni wu'a, U ba ye hla ni wu indji iwo, andi igu ya bi ndu ma a ri woma ni hi kle.
2 and having called him, he said to him, What [is] this I hear about you? Render the account of your stewardship, for you may not be steward any longer.
Indji iwo'a a yo na miyen ahi nge mba mi wo? Ne lisafi ikpe wa u tie ni ya ndu'a u na la tie ndu, u ya indji ngana.
3 And the steward said in himself, What will I do, because my lord takes away the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig, I am ashamed to beg—
Igu u ya indji ba (wakili) a ta mre, “Ahi nge mi ti, tun nde itie koh mu a vu me kpa ndu u ya? Mina he ni gbengble wami ya ron na, Ishan ni ti me mi na ya bre na.
4 I have known what I will do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
Mi toh kpe u wa mi tie'a inde ba zu me ni ndu u ya indji (wakili), indji ba ka kpa me hi ni koh mba.
5 And having called near each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord?
Ayo bi wa itie koh ma ni huba ihlah, a miyen u mumlan, 'Ahi bren itie koh mu ni hu?'
6 And he said, One hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take your bill, and having sat down write fifty.
Andi uma a Garuwa Iyen Deri. Wa hla ni wu, kpa nvunvu u nha me, gbagbla nha hamsi nihi kuson kpa me ni ka don.
7 Afterward to another he said, And you, how much do you owe? And he said, One hundred cors of wheat; and he says to him, Take your bill, and write eighty.
Wa hla miyen ri, ibren ba hu? Wa tre, buhu alkama dari wa hla niwu, kpa nvunvu yi, ni nha tan mani
8 And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light in respect to their generation. (aiōn g165)
U tie koh ma kber igu lah tre san nitu wa a tie whiri, imlen imri bi, zizanyi ni indji mba, ba whiri zan imri bi kpan. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, make to yourselves friends out of the wealth of unrighteousness, that when you may fail, they may receive you into the continuous dwelling places. (aiōnios g166)
Mijhla ni yiwu tie kpan nitu he niwo wa ana bie na. Wa ye nna wo kle, u ba ka kpa yi hi ni koh wa bi son hi ni tuntur. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;
Indji wa ni tie njanji ni kpi tsitsa ma, A ni ti njanji ni rhi grama, u indji wa ana tie njanji ni kpi vi tsitsa mana, ana tie njanji ni kpi rigra ma na.
11 if, then, in the unrighteous wealth you did not become faithful—who will entrust to you the true?
Inde u na tie bi ni wo wa ana u njanji na, u nhan ni kpa nyewme ni wu ni wo u njanji?
12 And if in the other’s you did not become faithful—who will give to you your own?
Toh wu na ni tie njanji ni nji kpi u bari na, anha ni no wu inkleh u me?
13 No servant is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one, and he will love the other; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; you are not able to serve God and wealth.”
Ba indji wa ani ya biu tie ko hari, ni mi nton riri, se ka kpa ri na kari don, koh ka kpari tsri na kpari nyime. U na ya hu Irji mba inklen na.
14 And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding Him,
Farisawa bi wa ba son inklen kpukpome'a ba wo tre naki wawu na nzah.
15 and He said to them, “You are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God knows your hearts; because that which is high among men [is] abomination before God;
Wa hla bawu, 'Biyi bi ban tu mbi ni shishi ndi ni kperi, ama Irji toh mi suron mbi. Ikpi wa ndi ba kpanyime niwu wawu, ahi kpi u shan ni Irji.
16 the Law and the Prophets [are] until John; since then the good news of the Kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone presses into it;
Attaura ni Litafi Anabawa ba he si ye ni ye Yohana rji ni nton ki ye zizan yi, ba tsikpa bubu bla tre Irji, indji wa wu ba ri ti tu ni gbengblen ni yo tu mba niwu.
17 and it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than one tittle to fall of the Law.
A hi fie me ni shulu mba ni meme ndu ba su e tu ni wa, iten riri u Attaura ndi joku migen.
18 Everyone who is sending his wife away, and marrying another, commits adultery; and everyone who is marrying her sent away from a husband commits adultery.
Indji wa a ga gran ma ni Iwa-ma na kpa iwa ri a zina a si tie, ni nidji wa a kpa iwa wailon ma zu a hi zina a si ti.
19 And—a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,
Indji iwo ri a shur kpimabi tie le nani zren zren ma ko ni nton ri meh.
20 and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,
U indji u bre ri ba yo ni Lazaru ba nji ye ka yo ni nkotra koh ma, ni kpukpa inkpa-n ni kpa,
21 and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; indeed, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.
Wa ni son rhi birhi wa a kuble ni tu tebru, u yawu ba ye nle kpa-n.
22 And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers into the bosom of Abraham—and the rich man also died, and was buried;
Wa ye tsra ni nton wa indji u bre a ye kyu, u Maleku ba ye ban hi ni nhma ko wa Ibrahim he. U ndji u wo'a (arziki) a kyu u ba ban ka rju.
23 and having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)
wa ka ri ni koh lu, wa zun shishi hi ni shu, na toh Ibrahim gbugban mu ba sun mba Lazarus ni ngbala ko wa Ibrahim he. (Hadēs g86)
24 and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.
Wa yra yi yo, Itie mu Ibrahim, toh me ni lo suron ni ton Lazarus, ndu ka vren wo ma son ni mma, na chu kpi yo ni mu ni lbe ndu jubu gbugbran mu.
25 And Abraham said, Child, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and you are distressed;
Ibrahim tre vuvren, Rimre ni sun me ni gbungblu, u rhi ro wo me ni kpa kpi bi bie ma, u Lazarus si tiya, u zizan mba ba ndu si toh roma ni wa, Iwu mba u si tiya.
26 and besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from here to you are not able, nor do they pass through from there to us.
U naki me ba shi juju ni tsitsu bi vron me, ni ndu bi wa ba sun zagran ye niyi ba ka na yana, kuma biwa ba he ni yi ko mba ba ka na zagran ye nita na.
27 And he said, I ask, then, father, that you may send him to the house of my father,
U indji i wo tre, mi bre wu, Itie mu Ibrahim, u ka ton hi ni koh itie mu, u ngrji'a -
28 for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
Mi he ni mri vayi mri-lon iton, ndu hi hron ba ni ndu ba na ye ni bubu yi na.
29 Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;
Ibrahim hla niwu, ba he ni Musa ni anabawa, ndu ba wo ba.
30 and he said, No, father Abraham, but if anyone from the dead may go to them, they will convert.
U indji i wo, a sa niwu andi, A'a Itie mu Ibrahim, indrjo ri ni ta rji ni mi bi kyu ka hla ni bawa, ba k'ma suron mba no Irji.
31 And he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one may rise out of the dead.”
U Ibrahim hla niwu, inde bana wo Musa ni anabawa bana, ko indji wa a kyu lunde na ka hla ni ba wu bana wo wu na.
