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;
Jesuh naw axüisaw hea veia hina ngthu a pyen be tü, “Khyang bawimangki mat naw, a khawh mceiki mat a tak. Acuna khawh mceiki naw a mahpaa khawh kpäkcaihsak ve tia mawng a mahpa üng mtheh law u se,
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.
acunüng, a mahpa naw, ‘a khawh mceikia m'ya cun khü lü, na mawng ka ngjak hin ia suilam ni? Khawhtheme khana na bilawh na mtheh lawa. Atuh üng tün lü khawh mceikia am na kya ti khai’ a ti.
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—
“Acunüng, khawh mceiki naw a mlung k’uma ngai kyu lü, ‘Ka mahpa naw, a khawh ka mceinak üngka naw na pyaisak ve, lai co lü pi am ka nghlawh theiki, ka kthähei hü vaia pi ka ngkekhyakeiki, ikba ka awm khai ni?’
4 I have known what I will do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
“Khawh mceinak üngka naw ami na pyaisak käna, ami ima na awmpüi khai hea püi ka tak üng daw khai ti ka ksingki,’ ti lü,
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?
acunüng a mahpaa khawh leinakia khyang he jah khü lü, akcüka veia, ‘Ka mahpaa khawh i kän na lei naki ni?’ a ti.
6 And he said, One hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take your bill, and having sat down write fifty.
“Acun naw, ‘Situi pung a phya lei na veng’ ti se, khawh mceiki naw, ‘angxita cajin lawpüi, ngaw lü, mhmakipa yua,’ a ti.
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.
“Acunüng, akce mata veia, ‘Nang mä i kän na lei naki ni?’ a ti, ani naw, ‘cang tawng thawng at lei na veng’ ti se, khawh mceiki naw, ‘angxita na cajin lawpüi, ngaw lü, phya khyeta yua,’ a ti.
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)
“Acunüng, am dawkia khawh mceiki naw acunkba a jah pawhmsah law a mahpa naw hmu lü, aktäa, a ngak. Khawmdek khyang he amimäta hama ami bilawhnak üng, akvai üng awmki hea kthaka khyaih bawki he ni,” a ti. (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)
Acunüng Jesuh bä naw, “Ka ning jah mthehki, nami hama khawmdek khawhthem püi na ua, acunüng ni acun a bäih law üng anglät xünak ima ning jah do khai he. (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;
“Upi ajawcaa khana üpangak vaia awmki cun khawjaha khana pi üpangnak vaia ve khaia kyaki. Upi ajawca khana am üpangnak vaia awmki cun khawjaha khana pi üpangnak vaia am kya.
11 if, then, in the unrighteous wealth you did not become faithful—who will entrust to you the true?
“Acunakyase, khyük theikia khawmdek khawhthema khana pi am üpangnak vaia nami ve üng, u naw khawhthem kcang ning jah khämsak khai aw?
12 And if in the other’s you did not become faithful—who will give to you your own?
“Khyang kcea khawhthema khana pi üpangnak vaia am nami awm üng, u naw nami ka vaia ning jah pe khai aw?
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.”
M'ya u naw mahpa nghngih am khüih khawi naw, mat ä ngja hlü lü, mat jawng na khai, am acunüng mat kü na lü mat kse na khai. Pamhnam la ngui atänga am nami jah khüih thei khai,” a ti.
14 And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding Him,
Acunüng, ngui jawngnaki hea Pharise he naw acuna ngthu ngja u lü, ami yaihei.
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;
Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Khyanga hmuha nami cingcaihkia nami ngseki, cunsepi Pamhnam naw nami mlung ning jah ksingki ni; khyanga hmuha ami mküih cun Pamhnama hmuha msetei phyaki ni.
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;
“Mosia thum la sahma hea yuke cun Johana am a pha law hlan üng awmki, Johan üngka naw tün lü Pamhnama khaw thangkdaw cun sanga kyaki. Acunüng, khyang avan amthuia lut khawiki he.
17 and it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than one tittle to fall of the Law.
“Cunsepi, thum anglungcaa khyüh theia kthaka ta, khawmdek la khankhawa khyüh vai jäi bawk khai.
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.
“Upi a khyu mtai lü, nghnumi akce khyu naki cun a khyu mkhyekatki ni. Ami mtaia nghnumi khyu naki pi a khyu mkhyekat naki ni.
19 And—a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,
“Aktäa bawimangkia mangpa, aküi säiha thüi awi lü, amhmüp tä se hlimtui leng leng khaia ei aw lü awmki mat awmki.
20 and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,
“Acunüng, khuikha leng lengkia khyang, Lazaruh ngming naki pi mat, a pumsa üng mnehkse am be se, mangpaa mkawt peia ami lawpüi,
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.
mangpa buhkbe peia kbuhkbaw ei khaia, a mkawt peia ngjän se ui he naw a mneh ami mleh law pet khawi.
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;
“Acunüng, hinkba kyaki, Lazaruh thi se khankhawngsä he naw Abrahama peia ngaw khaia ami cehpüi. Acunüng, mangpa pi thi se k’uta kyaki.
23 and having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)
“Acunüng, khyang kthikhawa aktäa khuikha lü hang mdeiki naw athuknaka Abraham, a peia Lazaruh ngaw se hmu lü, (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.
‘Aw ka pa Abraham, na m'yeneia. Lazaruh naw a kutmdawngca tui üng hnet lü, ka mlei a ye law sak vaia ka awmnaka tui lawa, hina meikdäi üng khuikha leng leng veng’ ti lü ngpyangki.
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;
“Acunüng Abraham naw, ‘Ka capa aw, na xün k’um üng akdaw yah lü, acunkba Lazaruh naw am dawki a yah cen süma; cunsepi, atuh ani dim’yenak am ve se, nang khuikha veki,
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.
acuna thea, hin üngka naw nami veia cit hlüki he am ami cehnak thei vai la upi nangmia awmnak üngka naw keimi veia am ami lawnak thei vaia, mi nglaka nghawinu awmki’ a ti.
27 And he said, I ask, then, father, that you may send him to the house of my father,
“Acunüng mangpa naw, ‘Am acunüng, ka pa aw, ka pa ima Lazaruh na tüih vaia hleng ning nghui na veng,
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.
ka hnunpüi kpami mhma awmki, hina khuikhanaka ä law msawk khai hea a jah va mtheh vaia’ a ti.
29 Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;
“Acunüng Abraham naw, ‘Mosi la sahma he awmki he, acun hea jah mtheh ngai khai he ni,’ a ti.
30 and he said, No, father Abraham, but if anyone from the dead may go to them, they will convert.
“Acunüng, mangpa naw, ‘Ka pa Abraham aw, acunkba am kya, khyang kthi he üngka mat, tho law be lü ngthu a pyen üng ta ami katnak nghlat ta khai he ni,’ a ti.
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.”
“Acunüng Abraham naw, ‘Mosi la sahma hea ngthu am ami ngaih üng, khyang kthi üngka tho law be se pi am kcang na u,’ a ti” a ti.
