Luke 16
1 He also said to his disciples, "There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
A PIL kotin majani on tounpadak kan: Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a jaunkoa men indandeki, a peitlakit a koa kapwa kan.
2 He called him, and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'
I ari eker don i indan i: Iaduen ai ronadar duen koe? Kaineneta noum kijin likau duen om dodok! Pwe koe jolar kak jaunkoa.
3 "The manager said within himself, 'What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I do not have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
Jaunkoa ap madamadaua indada: Da me i en wia, pwe ai monjap pan ki jan ia ai koa, nan I jota kak weweir, a poekipoeki me i namenokki.
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.'
I ap ajada, me i pan wia, i lao japwilidi jan ai koa, pwe irail en kajamo ia Ion on nan im ar akan.
5 Calling each one of his lord's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe to my lord?'
I ari ekeredo me pwaipwand on a monjap, ap idok ren men maj: Da me om pwaipwand on ai monjap?
6 He said, 'A hundred batos of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
A inda: Potel en le epuki. A indai on i: Ale noum puk mondi pitipit intiniedi me limeijok!
7 Then he said to another, 'How much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred cors of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'
Ap pil indai on amen: A koe, da me om pwaipwand? A inda: Kopa en wan korn epuki. A indan i: Ale noum puk intiniedi me waleijok!
8 "His lord commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness, for the people of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the people of light. (aiōn g165)
Monjap ap kapina jaunkoa japun, pweki a dodok lolekon. Pwe jeri en jappa kan me lolekon ni jon ar jan jeri en marain akan. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it is gone they may welcome you into the everlasting dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
I ap indai on komail, komail wia kompoke pamail ki mamon japun pwe komail lao jama malar, ren kajamolon on nan deu potopot. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
Meamen apwali mau me tikitik o, nan i me pil kin apwali mau me lapalap. A me kin japun ni me tikitik o, nan i me pil japun ni me toto.
11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Ma komail jota apwali mau ai pali pa, ij me pan liki on omail pai pali poa?
12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
O ma komail jota apwali mau en amen a kapwa, ij me pan liki on komail me udan omail?
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and wealth."
Jota ladu men me pan kak papa jaumaj riamen; pwe a pan kailonki amen o pok on me teio. De kajampwaleki amen o mama leki me teio. Komail jota pan kak pariai pena Kot o mamon.
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
Pari jar akan, me kin pok on moni, pil ronadar mepukat, ap kaurureki i.
15 He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of people, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among people is an abomination in the sight of God.
A kotin majani on irail: Nan komail me kin akapunki pein komail ren aramaj, a Kot kin mani nan monion omail. Pwe me kajampwal ren aramaj, kin me mal ren Kot.
16 The Law and the Prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
Kapun o jaukop akan kokoper lel ni muein Ioanej. A jan ni anjau o ronamau en wein Kot kin lolok jili, a karoj kin pedelonki manaman.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Law to become void.
Nan me monai, lan o jappa pan jorela, jan ekij kijan kapun en lokidokila.
18 Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
Meamen kajela a paud, ap paudeki amen li, nan i me kamal, o meamen me paudekida me lokidokila jan ren ol amen, nan i me kamal.
19 "Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a likau waitata o materok o a kin kamadip o peren ni ran karoj.
20 A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was placed at his gate, full of sores,
O pil amen ol me jamama, ad a Lajaruj, me kin wonon pan wanim en ol kapwapwa o; a kenjela kili karoj.
21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
Ap men tunole maremor akan, me kin pupedi ni tepel en me kapwapwa; a kidi kan kin tamotamo a kenj akan.
22 It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
A kadekadeo me jamama o mela o tounlan kai ap wadala pon kapa en Apraam. A me kapwapwa o pil mela o jaredier.
23 In hell, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Ni a mi nan pweleko, wajan waiwairok, ap jarada, udial Apraam ni waja doo o Lajaruj mondi pon kapa, (Hadēs g86)
24 He called out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue. For I am in anguish in this flame.'
Ap likwirda indada: Jam (ai) Apraam, kom kotin kupura ia, poronedo Lajaruj en kaduedi jondin pa a nan pil, ki on pon lo i, pwe i kin waiwairok nani iai wet.
25 "But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in like manner, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
A Apraam kotin majani: Nai, tamanda, me koe tunoler om mau kan karoj ni maur om, a Lajaruj a me jued akan; ari a pan pereperenta, a koe pan kalokolok.
26 Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that none may cross over from there to us.'
A pil eu me kawela, wau kalaimun eu mi nan pun atail, pwe ma amen kit men japale won re omail, a jota pan kak, pil jota amen komail pan kakedo.
27 "He said, 'I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house;
A ap inda: I ap men poeki, jam ai, komui en kotin poronelan Lajaruj nan im en jam ai.
28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won't also come into this place of torment.'
Pwe ri ai ol me limen, me a pan kaajaki irail; pwe ren de lel on waja apwal wet!
29 "But Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the Prophets. Let them listen to them.'
A Apraam majani on i: Mojej o jaukop akan mi re’rail, ren nok ron irail.
30 "He said, 'No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
A ol o potoan on: Kaidin jam (ai) Apraam, a ma amen jan ren me melar akan pan pwara don irail, rap pan kalula.
31 "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.'"
A ap majani on i: Ma re jota pan ron Mojej o jaukop akan, re pil jota pan pojon la, ma amen pan maureda jan ren me melar akan.
