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;
Pea naʻa ne pehē foki ki heʻene kau ākonga, “Naʻe ai ha tangata koloaʻia, naʻe ai ʻene tauhi, pea naʻe fakaʻilo kiate ia kuo ne maumauʻi ʻene koloa.
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.
Pea ne ui ia, ʻo pehē ki ai, ‘Ko e hā eni ʻoku ou fanongo ai ʻiate koe? Fakamatala mai hoʻo tauhi; he ʻoku ʻikai te ke kei tauhi.’
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—
Pea pehē ʻe he tauhi ʻi hono loto, ‘Ko e hā te u fai? He ʻoku toʻo ʻiate au ʻae tauhi ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki: ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa keli; pea ʻoku ou mā ʻi he kole.’
4 I have known what I will do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
Kuo pau hoku loto ki he meʻa te u fai, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu au ki honau ngaahi fale, ʻoka tukuange au ʻi he tauhi.’
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?
“Pea ne ui ʻae kau fakatau koloa kotoa pē ʻe heʻene ʻeiki, ʻo ne pehē ki he ʻuluaki, ‘ʻOku fiha nai ʻae meʻa ʻoku teʻeki te ke totongi ai ki heʻeku ʻeiki?’
6 And he said, One hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take your bill, and having sat down write fifty.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ko e puha fua ʻe teau ʻoe lolo.’ Pea ne pehē kiate ia, ‘Toʻo hoʻo tohi, pea ke nofo ke vave, ʻo tohi ai ko e nimangofulu.’
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he taha kehe, ‘Pea ʻoku fiha ʻa e meʻa ʻoku teʻeki te ke totongi ʻe koe?’ Pea pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ko e puha fua ʻe teau ʻoe uite.’ Pea ne pehē kiate ia, ‘Toʻo hoʻo tohi, ʻo tohi ai ko e valungofulu.’
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)
Pea fakamālō ʻae ʻeiki ki he tauhi koloa taʻefaitotonu, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fai fakapotopoto: he ʻoku poto hake ʻae fānau ʻa māmani ʻi honau toʻutangata, ʻi he fānau ʻae maama. (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)
“Pea ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, “Ngaohi kiate kimoutolu ʻaki ʻae koloa taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻae ngaahi kāinga; koeʻuhi, ʻoka mou ka mate, kenau maʻu ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi nofoʻanga taʻengata. (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;
Ko ia ʻoku angatonu ʻi he meʻa siʻi, ʻoku angatonu foki ia ʻi he meʻa lahi; pea ko ia ʻoku taʻeangatonu ʻi he meʻa siʻi, ʻoku taʻeangatonu ia ʻi he meʻa lahi.
11 if, then, in the unrighteous wealth you did not become faithful—who will entrust to you the true?
Ko ia kapau naʻe ʻikai te mou angatonu ʻi he koloa taʻemāʻoniʻoni, Ko hai ʻe tuku ʻa e [koloa ]moʻoni ke mou tauhi?
12 And if in the other’s you did not become faithful—who will give to you your own?
Pea kapau naʻe ʻikai te mou angatonu ʻi he meʻa ʻae taha kehe, Ko hai ʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻamoutolu?
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.”
“ʻOku ʻikai ha tamaioʻeiki te ne faʻa tauhi ʻae ʻeiki ʻe toko ua: koeʻuhi ʻe fehiʻa ia ki he tokotaha, kae ʻofa ki he tokotaha; pe pikitai ki he tokotaha, kae manuki ki he tokotaha. ʻE ʻikai siʻi te mou faʻa tauhi ʻae ʻOtua mo e koloa.”
14 And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding Him,
Pea ko e kau Fālesi foki naʻe manumanu, ne nau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē: pea naʻa nau taukae kiate ia.
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;
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko kimoutolu eni ʻoku mou fakatonuhia ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai ka ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa homou loto: he ko ia ʻoku lelei lahi ki he kakai, ʻoku fakalielia ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
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;
“Naʻe ai ʻae fono mo e kau palōfita ʻo aʻu kia Sione: pea talu mei ai mo e malangaʻaki ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ului ki ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē.
17 and it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than one tittle to fall of the Law.
Pea ʻoku faingofua hake ke mole ʻae langi mo māmani, ʻi he mole ha kupuʻi lea ʻe taha ʻoe fono.
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.
“Ko ia ʻoku ne tukuange hono uaifi, kae mali mo ha taha, ʻoku tono fefine ia: pea ko ia ʻoku ne mali mo ia kuo tukuange mei hono husepāniti, ʻoku tono fefine ia.
19 And—a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,
“Naʻe ai ha tangata koloaʻia, naʻa ne ʻai ʻae kofu kulokula mo e tupenu mahuʻinga, pea kai ʻe ia ʻae meʻa lelei ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē:
20 and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,
Pea naʻe ai ha tangata paea, ko Lasalosi hono hingoa, naʻe fakatokoto ia ʻi hono matapā, kuo tofu ʻi he papala,
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.
ʻO ne holi ke fafanga ʻaki ia ʻae momoʻi meʻakai naʻe ngangana mei he keinangaʻanga ʻae tangata maʻumeʻa: pea naʻe haʻu foki ʻae fanga kulī, ʻo ʻemo hono papala.
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;
Pea pehē, naʻe mate ʻae tangata paea, pea fua ia ʻe he kau ʻāngelo ki he fatafata ʻo ʻEpalahame: pea mate foki ʻae tangata maʻumeʻa, pea tanu ia;
23 and having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)
Pea hanga hake ia hono mata ʻi heli, ʻoku ongosia ia, pea ne mamata kia ʻEpalahame ʻi he mamaʻo ʻaupito, mo Lasalosi ʻi hono fatafata. (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.
“Pea tangi ia, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE tamai ko ʻEpalahame, ke ke ʻofa mai kiate au, pea fekau ʻa Lasalosi ke ne ʻai hono muʻa tuhu ki he vai, mo fakamomoko hoku ʻelelo: he ʻoku ou feinga ʻi he afi ni.’
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;
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame, ‘Foha, ke ke manatu naʻa ke maʻu hoʻo ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻi hoʻo moʻui, pea naʻe ʻia Lasalosi foki ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi; ka ko eni, ʻoku fiemālie ia, ka kuo ke feinga koe.
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.
Kaeʻumaʻā eni kotoa pē, ʻoku ai ʻae fuʻu vanu lahi ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo kimautolu mo kimoutolu: ko ia ʻe ʻikai lava atu ʻakinautolu ʻoku fie ʻalu ʻi heni kiate kimoutolu; pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa haʻu kiate kimautolu ʻakinautolu[ʻoku fie haʻu mei hena.]’
27 And he said, I ask, then, father, that you may send him to the house of my father,
“Pea toki pehē ʻe ia, ‘Ko ia ʻoku ou kole ai kiate koe, ʻe tamai, ke ke fekau ia ki he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai:
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.
He ʻoku toko nima hoku kāinga koeʻuhi ke ne valokiʻi ʻakinautolu, telia naʻa nau haʻu foki ki he potu fakamamahi ni.’
29 Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;
Pea pehē ʻe ʻEpalahame kiate ia, ‘ʻOku nau maʻu ʻa Mōsese mo e kau palōfita; tuku ke nau fanongo ki ai.’
30 and he said, No, father Abraham, but if anyone from the dead may go to them, they will convert.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, ‘ʻE ʻikai, ʻe tamai ko ʻEpalahame, ka ʻoka ʻalu ha taha mei he mate kiate kinautolu, te nau fakatomala.’
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.”
Pea pehē mai ʻe ia kiate ia, ‘Kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo kia Mōsese mo e kau palōfita, ʻe ʻikai te nau tui ʻo kapau ʻe toetuʻu ha taha mei he mate.’”
