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;
A hnukbang rhoek te khaw, “Hlang pakhat tah kuirhang la om tih hnokhoem a khueh. Te long te a khuehtawn a haeh pah dongah amah a khotoh nah.
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.
Te dongah anih te a khue tih, ‘Nang kawng ka yaak he me tlam lae? Na hnokhoemnah dongkah olka te thuung laeh, na khoom ham na coeng voel moenih,’ a ti nah.
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—
Te vaengah hnokhoem amah te, ‘Balae ka saii lah eh? Ka boeipa loh hnokhoemnah he kai lamloh a lat coeng, diklai daeng ham khaw ka noeng pawh, bih ham khaw ka yak,
4 I have known what I will do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
Ka saii ham te ka ming coeng. Te daengah ni hnokhoemnah lamkah ka puen uh vaengah a im khuila kai n'doe uh eh,’ a ti.
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?
Te dongah, a boeipa kah purhong rhoek te rhip a khue tih, lamhma taengah, ‘Ka boeipa taengah meyet na ba?’ a ti nah.
6 And he said, One hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take your bill, and having sat down write fifty.
Te long te, ‘Situi um yakhat,’ a ti nah. Te vaengah anih te, ‘Na cabu na doe vaengah ngol pahoi lamtah sawmnga mah daek,’ a ti nah.
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.
Pakhat te khaw, ‘Nang tah meyet na ba,’ a ti nah. Te long te, ‘Cang phueih yakhat,’ a ti nah. Anih te, ‘Cabu na doe vaengah sawmrhet la daek,’ a ti nah.
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)
A thai a lai neh a saii dongah boethae kah hnokhoem te boeipa loh a koeh. Ta kumhal kah ca rhoek he amah cadil khuiah tah vangnah kah a ca rhoek lakah cueih uh. (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)
Te dongah kai loh nangmih taengah ka thui, Boethae laikhuehtawn te khaw na paya la khueh uh. Te daengah ni dungyan dap khuila na khum vaengah n'doe uh eh. (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;
A yit dongah uepom la aka om tah a len dongah khaw uepom la om tih, a yit dongah aka halang tah a len dongah khaw halang.
11 if, then, in the unrighteous wealth you did not become faithful—who will entrust to you the true?
Halang, laikhuehtawn neh uepom la na om uh pawt bal atah unim nangmih rhep aka tangnah te?
12 And if in the other’s you did not become faithful—who will give to you your own?
Te dongah na hlanglang tih uepom la na om pawt atah na koe te u long nangmih m'paek eh.
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.”
Imkhut pakhat loh boei panit kah sal a bi thai moenih, pakhat te a toeng vetih pakhat te a lungnah ni, pakhat te a talong vetih pakhat te a hnoel ni. Pathen neh laikhuehtawn kah sal na bi rhenten thai moenih,” a ti nah.
14 And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding Him,
Te te naivoei la aka om Pharisee rhoek loh boeih a yaak uh vaengah amah te a nueih thil uh.
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;
Te dongah amih te, “Nangmih loh hlang hmaiah aka tang la na om uh. Tedae Pathen loh nangmih thinko te a ming. Hlang soah aka sang te Pathen hmaiah tueilaehnah la om.
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;
Olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek loh Johan hil, te lamkah loh Pathen kah ram tah ana phong coeng tih a khuila la boeih ana ael uh.
17 and it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than one tittle to fall of the Law.
Olkhueng te a dek pakhat a rhul lakah vaan neh diklai a khum te a phoeng la om pueng.
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.
A yuu te a tueih tih a tloe aka lo boeih tah samphaih coeng. Te phoeiah va aka ma aka yunah te khaw samphaih.
19 And—a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,
“Hlang pakhat tah kuirhang la om. Te dongah daidi, hnithen neh khuk uh tih hnin takuem thayoei tuipan la a uum.
20 and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,
Te vaengah khodaeng pakhat, a ming ah Lazarus tah buhlut neh a vongka ah a yalh pah.
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.
Te dongah kuirhang caboei lamkah aka bo nen te bunghah khaw a nai. Tedae ui rhoek long pataeng ha pawk uh vaengah a buhlut te a laeh pa uh.
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;
Tedae khodaeng te a duek vaengah puencawn rhoek loh Abraham rhang dongla a khuen. Te phoeiah kuirhang te khaw duek tih a up uh.
23 and having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)
Tedae saelkhui ah a mik a hoh tih nganboh neh kho a sak vaengah tah Abraham neh a rhang dongkah Lazarus te a hla lamkah a hmuh. (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.
Te dongah a pang neh, ‘A pa Abraham, kai he n'rhen lamtah Lazarus te han tueih mai. A kutdawn kah a hmoicue te tui dongah naek saeh lamtah ka lai he sul sak saeh, hmaitak khuiah mat n'yuek coeng he,’ a ti nah.”
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;
“Tedae Abraham loh, ‘Camoe, na hingnah dongkah na hnothen na dang te poek. Te vaengah Lazarus tah yoethae bangla om. Tedae anih a mong vaengah he nang tah patang loh n'yuek coeng.
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.
He rhoek boeih khuiah khaw kaimih neh nangmih laklo kah longhoi tah muep n'lak coeng. Te dongah nangmih taengla hlaikan dingdoeng aka ngaih long khaw coeng pawh, kaimih taengla hlaikan dingdoeng ham khaw coeng pawh,’ a ti nah.”
27 And he said, I ask, then, father, that you may send him to the house of my father,
“Te phoeiah, ‘A pa namah ni kan hloep. Te dongah anih te a pa im la tueih mai.
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.
Manuca panga ka khueh dongah amih te uen mai saeh. Te daengah ni amih khaw hekah nganboh hmuen la ha pawk uh pawt eh,’ a ti nah.”
29 Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;
“Tedae Abraham loh, ‘Moses neh tonghma te a khueh uh ta, amih taengah hnatun uh saeh,’ a ti nah.
30 and he said, No, father Abraham, but if anyone from the dead may go to them, they will convert.
Tedae te long te, ‘Moenih, a pa Abraham, aka duek tangtae pakhat loh amih te paan koinih yut uh ni,’ a ti nah.”
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.”
“Tedae anih te, ‘Moses neh tonghma rhoek kah olthui te a hnatun uh pawt atah, duek khui lamkah khat khat thoo cakhaw ngaitang mahpawh,’ a ti nah,” a ti.
