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 PIL kotin masani ong tounpadak kan: Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a saunkoa men indandeki, a peitlakit a koa kapwa kan.
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.
I ari eker dong i indang i: Iaduen ai rongadar duen koe? Kaineneta noum kisin likau duen om dodok! Pwe koe solar kak saunkoa.
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—
Saunkoa ap madamadaua indada: Da me i en wia, pwe ai monsap pan ki sang ia ai koa, nan i sota kak weweir, a poekipoeki me i namenokki.
4 I have known what I will do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
I ap asada, me i pan wia, i lao sapwilidi sang ai koa, pwe irail en kasamo ia long ong nan im ar akan.
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?
I ari ekeredo me pwaipwand ong a monsap, ap idok ren men mas: Da me om pwaipwand ong ai monsap?
6 And he said, One hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take your bill, and having sat down write fifty.
A inda: Potel en le epuki. A indai ong i: Ale noum puk mondi pitipit intingiedi me limeisok!
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.
Ap pil indai ong amen: A koe, da me om pwaipwand? A inda: Kopa en wan korn epuki. A indang i: Ale noum puk intingiedi me waleisok!
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)
Monsap ap kapinga saunkoa sapung, pweki a dodok lolekong. Pwe seri en sappa kan me lolekong ni song ar sang seri en marain akan. (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)
I ap indai ong komail, komail wia kompoke pamail ki mamon sapung pwe komail lao samamalar, ren kasamolong ong nan deu potopot. (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;
Meamen apwali mau me tikitik o, nan i me pil kin apwali mau me lapalap. A me kin sapung ni me tikitik o, nan i me pil sapung ni me toto.
11 if, then, in the unrighteous wealth you did not become faithful—who will entrust to you the true?
Ma komail sota apwali mau pai pali pa, is me pan liki ong komail pai pali poa?
12 And if in the other’s you did not become faithful—who will give to you your own?
O ma komail sota apwali mau en amen a kapwa, is me pan liki ong komail me udan omail?
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.”
Sota ladu men me pan kak papa saumas riamen; pwe a pan kailongki amen o pok ong me teio. De kasampwaleki amen o mamaleki me teio. Komail sota pan kak pariai pena Kot o mamon.
14 And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding Him,
Parisär akan, me kin pok ong moni, pil rongadar mepukat, ap kaurureki i.
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;
A kotin masani ong irail: Nan komail me kin akapungki pein komail ren aramas, a Kot kin mangi nan mongiong omail. Pwe me kasampwal ren aramas, kin me mal ren Kot.
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;
Kapung o saukop akan kokoper lel ni muein Ioanes. A sang ni ansau o rongamau en wein Kot kin lolok sili, a karos kin pedelongki manaman.
17 and it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than one tittle to fall of the Law.
Nan me mongai, lang o sappa pan sorela, sang ekis kisan kapung en lokidokila.
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.
Meamen kasela a paud, ap paudeki amen li, nan i me kamal, o meamen me paudekida me lokidokila sang ren ol amen, nan i me kamal.
19 And—a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,
Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a likau waitata o materok o a kin kamadip o peren ni ran karos.
20 and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,
O pil amen ol me samama, ad a Lasarus, me kin wonon pan wanim en ol kapwapwa o; a kensela kili karos.
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.
Ap men tungole maremor akan, me kin pupedi ni tepel en me kapwapwa; a kidi kan kin tamotamo a kens akan.
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;
A kadekadeo me samama o mela o tounlang kai ap wadala pon kapa en Apraam. A me kapwapwa o pil mela o saredier.
23 and having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)
Ni a mi nan pweleko, wasan waiwairok, ap sarada, udial Apraam ni wasa doo o Lasarus mondi pon kapa, (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.
Ap likwirda indada: Sam (ai) Apraam, kom kotin kupura ia, poronedo Lasarus en kaduedi sondin pa a nan pil, ki ong pon lo i, pwe i kin waiwairok nani iai wet.
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;
A Apraam kotin masani: Nai, tamanda, me koe tungoler om mau kan karos ni maur om, a Lasarus a me sued akan; ari a pan pereperenta, a koe pan kalokolok.
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.
A pil eu me kawela, wau kalaimun eu mi nan pung atail, pwe ma amen kit men sapale wong re omail, a sota pan kak, pil sota amen komail pan kakedo.
27 And he said, I ask, then, father, that you may send him to the house of my father,
A ap inda: I ap men poeki, sam ai, komui en kotin poronelang Lasarus nan im en sam ai.
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.
Pwe ri ai ol me limen, me a pan kaasaki irail; pwe ren de lel ong wasa apwal wet!
29 Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;
A Apraam masani ong i: Moses o saukop akan mi re’rail, ren nok rong irail.
30 and he said, No, father Abraham, but if anyone from the dead may go to them, they will convert.
A ol o potoan ong: Kaidin sam (ai) Apraam, a ma amen sang ren me melar akan pan pwara dong irail, rap pan kalula.
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.”
A ap masani ong i: Ma re sota pan rong Moses o saukop akan, re pil sota pan poson la, ma amen pan maureda sang ren me melar akan.
