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.
Yesu wukamba minlonguki miandi: —Mutu wumosi wuba busina buwombo, wuba ayi dikalaka diandi, vayi batu bayiza funda dikalaka diandi ti niandi wufukisidi busina buandi.
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.'
Buna pfumu andi bu kantumisa buna wunyuvula: “mambu mbi momondilembu wanga mu diambu diaku e? Vumbula kipholo mu zaba bueviwukebidi kisalu kiaku bila wulendi buela ba nkebi wu bima biama ko.”
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.
Buna nkebi wu bima wuyindula mu ntimꞌandi: “diambu mbi ndiekavanga e? Bila buabu pfumu ama weka kumbotula, ndilendi buela kebangabima biandi ko. Ndilendi salanga ntoto ko bila ndisi ko ngolo; tsoni mu kuenda lombanga.
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.'
Buabu mbakudi diambu mbi ndieka vanga muingi batu baba kundiakulanga mu zinzo ziawu bu bela kumbotula mu kisalu.”
5 Calling each one of his lord's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe to my lord?'
Vana vawu wutumisa batu boso baba zipholo kuidi pfumu andi. Wuyuvula wutheti: “Kikua fueti futa pfumu ama e?”
6 He said, 'A hundred batos of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
Mutu beni wumvutudila ti: “Makumuandi ma mangungulu ma mafuta.” Nkebi beni wunkamba: “tamla nkanda wowo wusonika, wawu vuanda vovo, tula nsuala ayi sonikati dikumi di mangungulu.”
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.'
Bosi wukamba wunkaka: “Ngeyo kikua fueti futa e?” Niandi wumfutudila ti: “Zikhama zitanu zi zitsaku zi ble.” Buna nkebi beni wunkamba mutu beni ti: “bonga nkanda wowo wusonika ayi sonika zikhama ziya.”
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)
Buna pfumu beni wuniemisa nkebi wowo wukambu kiedika mu philadiela diandi di kasadila. Bila, mu mambu mawu veka, batu ba thanguyayi balutidi bana ba kiezila mu diela. (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)
Ayi minu ndikulukamba ti mboti lusadila kimvuama ki ntoto muingi lubaka bakundi mu diambu dieno veka muingi mu thangu kiela manababa kuluyakula mu zinzo zi mvu ka mvu. (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.
Woso mutu widi wukuikama mu bima bifioti buna widi diaka wukuikama mu bima biwombo. Ayi woso kambulu wukuikama mu bima bifioti kalendi ba wukuikama ko mu bima binneni.
11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Enati lusi ko bakuikama mu kimvuama kikambulu kisonga buna nani wela kuluyekudila kimvuama kikiedika e?
12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
Enati luisi ko bakuikama mu bima bingana buna nani wela kuluvana bima bieno veka e?
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."
—Kuisi ko kisadi kilenda sadila bapfumu buadi. Bila bukiedika wela lenda pfumu yimosi ayi wela zola pfumu yinkaka. Voti wela kiyekulakuidi pfumu yitheti ayi wela lenza pfumu yinkaka. Lulendi sadila Nzambi ayi zimbongo va kimosi ko.
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
Buna bamana wa mambu momo, Bafalisi babazolanga zimbongo basekinina Yesu.
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.
Vayi niandi wuba kamba: —Benu luidi batu beta zola kukimonikisa basonga va meso ma batu vayi Nzambi zebi mintima mieno. Bila mambu momo mammonika ma mfunuva meso ma batu madi mambu maphamba va meso ma Nzambi.
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.
—Tsungi yi Mina ayi yi mimbikudi yiba nate mu thangu yi Yowani. Tona thangu yina Nsamu Wumbote wu Kipfumu ki Nzambi wulembu samunu ayi kadika mutu wulembo sadilanga zingolo ziandi mu kota muawu.
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.
Muaki kadi kuandi phasi diyilu ayi ntoto mu vioka vayi kadi sonu kimosi ki Mina kilendi botulu ko.
18 Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
—Woso wumbotula nketo andi ayi kuedidi nketo wunkaka vengi kitsuza ayi woso wunkuela nketo wubotalo kuidi bakala diandi vengi kitsuza.
19 "Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
—Kuba mutu wumosi wu kimvuama, wuba vuatanga minledi mintalu ayi mimboti. Kadika lumbu, luzingu luandi luba lu minyengo.
20 A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was placed at his gate, full of sores,
Nsukami wumosi, dizina diandi Lazale wuba lekanga vana muelonzo yi nkua kimvuama. Nitu andi yoso yiba ziphuta-ziphuta.
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.
Wuba mayindu ma yukutanga mu bitsiadisila biobi biba dodukanga mu thangu mutu wu busina kaba dianga va meza. Vayi zimbua ziba kuiza vendanga ziphuta ziandi.
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.
Vayi nsukami wuyiza fua ayi zimbasi zinnata nate vana ndambu Abalahami. Mutu wu kimvuama, mamvandi, wufua ayi wuziku.
23 In hell, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Kuna tsi yi bafua, wumona ziphasi ziwombo, wuvumbula meso ayi wumona kuna thama Lazale buna kadi va ndambu yi Abalahami. (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.'
Buna wuyamikina: “A tata Abalahami, bika wumbona kiadi! Tuma Lazale kabuika tsongi yi nlembo andi mu nlangu muingi kandakisila dibeti mu ludimi luama bila phasi ndilembu moni mu diambu di minlaki mi mbazu.”
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.
Vayi Abalahami wumvutudila: “A muanꞌama, bika wutebuka moyo ti ngeyo wutambula bima biaku mu thangu yi luzingu luaku vayi Lazale wutambula mabienga. Vayi buabu niandi wulembo bombo kuaku vayi ngeyo wulembo yamusu.
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.'
Ayi botula mambu momo, diyenga dinneni didi va khatitsika beto ayi beno mu diambu di bobo badi kuaku batidi kuiza kuidi beno babika bakadiluaku dikuizila koko luidi ayi mu diambu di bobo badi koko luidi batidi kuiza kuaku babika baka diluaku dikuizila kuaku tuidi.”
27 "He said, 'I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house;
Buna mutu wu busina wubuela tuba diaka: —A tata, lemvuka! Tuma Lazale ku nzo yi siama
28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won't also come into this place of torment.'
bila zikhombo zitanu zidi yama mu diambu di kabalubula muingi mamvawu babika kuiza ku buangu kiaki ki kiphasi.
29 "But Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the Prophets. Let them listen to them.'
Vayi Abalahami wumvutudila: “Moyize ayi mimbikudi badi yawu bika baba wilukila”.
30 "He said, 'No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
Buna nkua busina wubuela tuba: “Nana, buawu ko bobo Tata Abalahami. Bila enati mutu fulukidi mu tsi yi bafua ayi wedi kuidi bawu buna bela balula mavanga mawu.”
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.'"
Vayi Abalahami wubuela vutula ti: “Enati bakadi wila Moyize ayi mimbikudi buna balendi wila ko mutuwufua ka diambu ko wufuluka.”
