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;
Ke Jesu go maadi o ŋɔdkaaba, “piado bá den ye, ki pia o ŋanlmankublo, ke bi ti cua ki tuali o ke o ŋalmankublo yeni biandi o piama.
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.
ke o piado yini o ki maadi o “Be n teni ke min gbia apo ya maama ki ŋani? Tieni nni a ŋalmankubli cɔli, kelima a ji kan ya tie n ŋalmankublo.”
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—
K o ŋalmankublo maadi o pali nni “N ji ba tie ni ledi i, n cab áa ń ji bua beli nni li tuonli ne? N ji ki pia paalu ki ko, ke n ya miadi mo, li pia i fee
4 I have known what I will do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
N bani min ba tieni yaala ke bi ya beli nni n ligkubli tuonli mi ba cani ya niba ń tuo ki ga n cangu”
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?
Yeni, ke o yini o canbaa pandanba yendo yendo, ki buali yua n kpia ki cua “A pia n canbaa panli yiŋa i?
6 And he said, One hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take your bill, and having sat down write fifty.
Ke o maadi, mi kpama golindi kobga.” K o maadi o, “Ga a pantili ki kali tonma ki diani golindi piimu
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.
Ke o ŋalmankublo buali tiano, “ke fini mo, a pia n canbaa panli yiŋa i? Ke o mo maadi “Mi ŋalkaama kpalpiadi kobga” Ke o maadi o “Ga a pantili ki diani kpapiadi piiniin
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)
Canbaa den pagi ya ŋalmankublo n den ki tiegi yeni kelima o den tieni bu nunfanbu. Kelima ŋanduna ne bila fani yeni bi lieba ki cie mi yenyenma nni ya bila (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)
N maadi yi, Taa mani i ŋanduna janbi ŋalmani ki kpaani danlinba, li ya ti gben, yin baa yaaba n ba ga i cangu naani ke li ki pia gbenma. (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;
Yua n tiegi yaala n wa nni, ba ya tiegi yaala n yabi nni mo. Ke yua n ki tiegi yaala n wa nni kan ya tiegi yaala n yabi nni mo.
11 if, then, in the unrighteous wealth you did not become faithful—who will entrust to you the true?
A ya ki fidi ki kubi i janbi ŋalmani, ŋma ba dugi apo, ki piani a o ŋalmani yaali n mɔni i?
12 And if in the other’s you did not become faithful—who will give to you your own?
Bi ya ki dugi a po ŋan kubi nitɔba ligi, maama, ŋma ba teni a a ligceli?
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.”
Naaciemo bá kan fidi ki ya pia canbaanba bilie. Kelima, o ba fidi ki ya nani yendo ki nan bua o lielo, lan yaa ka wan cɔlni canbaa kpialo ki nan fali canbaalielo. A kan fidi ki ya ŋua U Tienu leni ŋalmani
14 And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding Him,
Farisienba ń gbadi li maama yeni, ke bi ji ñuadi o.
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;
Ke o maadi ba. “I ba maadi ki baa i mɔni, bi niba kani, ama U Tienu bani i pala. Bi niba ń nua yaali ke li tie kpiagdi yeni, U Tienu wani ya nunga nni ke li tie cancagndi i.
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;
Yikodi maama yeni bi sawalpuaba n den kubi, ki ŋmagdi u dogu yo hali ke Janbatisi ti cua. Lan cili lanyogu, bi wangi U Tienu diema laabaalŋamo, nilo kuli tiendi ania ki kpaani wan kua lien nni
17 and it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than one tittle to fall of the Law.
Ama tanpoli leni ki tinga pendima ki paa ki cie li bali maama nni lanbyenli ń bodi ki kan tieni.
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.
Ya nilo n ñani o denpua ki kuani potiano conbi, yua n kuani ya pua n ñani o calo kani mo conbi.
19 And—a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,
Cengi mani, ŋalmandaano bá den ye ki la ti tiakpiagdi, ki di ti jiemandi, ki ye u yenyienŋamu nni daali kuli, ke o pali mani boncianla o piama po.
20 and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,
O luodo mo den ye, ke bi yi o Lasari, ke o dua o piado bulñɔjabu kani, ki pia a nala o gbanu po kuli.
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.
O den suni ke wan baa ya jiejɔgdi n baali o piado jedikaanu, bá i sangbanli den lagdi o nala i.
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;
Ke o luodo tikpe, ke malekinba tugi o, ki duoni o Abalahama kani. O piado mo ń kpe, ban pii o,
23 and having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)
Wan den ye o mubuogu nni ki laadi fala, ki ti yaadi ki diidi, ki la Abalahama hali fagma ke o wobi Lasari ki tabni o pali. (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.
Ke o yigni paama ki maadi, “Ti Báa Abalahama, diidi nni leni mi niñima, ki sɔni Lasari wan tuu mi ñima leni o nubili, ki maani n lanbu po, bun sɔngi, kelima n ye leni mi cacagma i ku mubuogu nni.
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;
Ama ke Abalahama maadi “N biga ya tiani ke a yenyienu nni, a den baa yaala n ŋani boncianla a po ke Lasari mo den laadi fala boncianla. Ama mɔlane, o ji ye ne, u yenyienŋamu nni, ke a mo falaciamu nni
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.
Li ya ñani lankani i, buociangu ye siiga nni, ki paadi tinba yen yinba, ke nilo kan fidi ki ña ti kani ki gedi i kani, obá mo kan fidi ki ña i kani ki cua ti kani.
27 And he said, I ask, then, father, that you may send him to the house of my father,
O ŋalmandaano ń maadi “N Báa Abalahama, mia sugli ki sɔni o n báa diegu nni.
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.
Kelima n pia naataanjaba mu, wan tuodi ki tiadi ba. N jie ke bi mo ń da ti pundi ya falacimu nni ke n ye ne.
29 Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;
Ama ke Abalahama maadi, “Bi pia Moyiisi leni bi sawalpuaba maama; ban cengi mani “
30 and he said, No, father Abraham, but if anyone from the dead may go to them, they will convert.
O piado ń guani ki maadi, “li kan tuo, ti Báa Abalahama, ama nilo ya ñani bi kpienba kani, ki gedi ki maadi ba, bi ba lebdi bi yama”
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.”
Ama ke Abalahama maadi, “Bi ya ki cengi Moyiisi leni bi sawalpuaba maama, bá nilo ya yiedi bi tinkpiba siiga, bi kan cengi o.”
