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 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 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.'
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 "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.
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 know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into 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 Calling each one of his lord's debtors to him, 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 He said, 'A hundred batos of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and 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 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.'
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 "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)
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 friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it is gone they may welcome you into the everlasting dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
Te dongah kai loh nangmih taengah ka thui, “Boethae laikhuehtawn te khaw na paya la khuehuh. Te daengah ni dungyan dap khuila na khum vaengah n'doe uh eh. (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.
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 therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Halang, laikhuehtawn neh uepom la na om uh pawt bal atah unim nangmih rhep aka tangnah te?
12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is 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 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."
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 rhenthen thai moenih,” a ti nah.
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
Te te naivoei la aka om Pharisee rhoek loh boeih a yaak uh vaengah amah te a nueih thiluh.
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.
Te dongah amih te, “Nangmih loh hlang hmaiah aka tang la na omuh. Tedae Pathen loh nangmih thinko te a ming. Hlang soah aka sang te Pathen hmaiah tueilaehnah la om.
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.
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 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.
Olkhueng te a dek pakhat a rhul lakah vaan neh diklai a khum te a phoeng la om pueng.
18 Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced 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 "Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
Hlang pakhat tah kuirhang la om. Te dongah daidi, hnithen neh khuk uh tih hnin takuem thayoei tuipan la a uum.
20 A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was placed at his gate, 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 fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked 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 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.
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 In hell, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at 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 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.'
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 "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.
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 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.'
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 "He said, 'I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house;
Te phoeiah, 'A pa namah ni kan hloep. Te dongah anih te a pa im la tueih mai.
28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won't also come into 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 "But Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the Prophets. Let them listen to them.'
Tedae Abraham loh, 'Moses neh tonghma te a khueh uh ta, amih taengah hnatun uh saeh,’ a ti nah.
30 "He said, 'No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
Tedae te long te, 'Moenih, a pa Abraham, aka duek tangtae pakhat loh amih te paan koinih yut uh ni,’ a ti nah.
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.'"
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.
