Luke 16
1 And he said also to the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused to him as wasting his goods.
Yesu nabhabhwila lindi abheigisibhwa bhaye ati, “Aliga alio omunu umwi mutagiri ali nomunu emelegululiye emilimu jaye, nibhamubhwila ati omukosi wao unu kalasa-lasa imali yao.
2 And he called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.
Kulwejo tagiri namubhilikila, namubhwila ati, “Nimisangoki jinu enungwa ingulu yao? Nuumbalile obhukumi bhwe emilimu jao, kulwokubha utachasubha kwimelegululila emilimu lindi.”
3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do, now that my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? I cannot dig, I am ashamed to beg.
Omukosi we emilimu neyaikila mumwoyo gwaye, 'lata bhugenyi wani kansoshako kumilimu jokwimelegulila emilimu, nikole kutiki? Nitali namanaga gokulima, nokusabhilisha eniswala.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, I may be received into their houses.
Mbe enimenya gunu nilakola koleleki labha nikasosibhwako kumilimu abhanu bhankumililega mumisi jebhwe.'
5 So he called to him every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much dost thou owe my lord?
Kulwejo omukosi wemilimu nabhilikila bhanu bhaliga nibhatongwa na lata bhugenyi waye. Nabhwila owokwamba ati, 'omukulu wani kakutonga bhilinga?
6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
Nasubhya ati, 'ndengo egana eja amafuta' namubhwila ati, 'nugege olwandiko lwao wiyanje bhwangu wandike makumi gatanu.'
7 Then he said to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith to him, Take thy bond, and write eighty.
Neya nabhwila oundi, 'kawe outongwa elinga?' naika ati, 'bhilengo egana ebhya jishano ja ingano.' Namubhwila ati, 'gega olwandiko lwao wandike makumi munana.'
8 And the lord commended the unjust steward for having done wisely; for the sons of this world are wiser toward their generation than the sons of light. (aiōn g165)
Omumula uliya omunibhi namukuya omukosi wobhuyaga lwakutyo akolele kwo obhwenge. Kulwokubha abhana bhe echalo bhana obhwenge bhwafu na abhakola emilimu kwo bhwenge na abhanu bhanu bhali kulubhala lwebhwe kukila kutyo bhali abhana bho obhwelu. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends with the unrighteous mammon; that, when it faileth, ye may be received into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
Mbe enibhabhwila mwikolele abhasani okusoka mubhinu bhyo obhunyamuke koleleki ebhinu bhikawao bhabhakumilile mubhwikalo bhunu bhutakuwao. (aiōnios g166)
10 He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
Owakisi mwibhika kuchinu chitoto muno kabhaga wekisi okubhika nolwo chinu chinene. Na unu kasakula echitoto nolwo echinene ona kasakula.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Labha emwe mutabheye bhakisi kubhinu bhyo obhunyamuke niga unu alibhayana okubhika ebhinu bhye echimali?
12 and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
Ka labha mutabheye bhakisi kubhinu bhyo undi niga unu alibhayana imali yemwe abhene?
13 No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate one, and love the other; or he will cleave to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Atalio omunu unu katula okukolela bhese Bhugenyi bhabhili, kulwokubha kafururukwa no oumwi na nenda oundi, lugendo kagwatana na unu nokugaya oundi. Mutakutula okukolela Nyamuanga ne ebhinu.
14 And the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all this, and they derided him.
Mbe Abhafarisayo bhanu bhaliga nibhenda jimpilya, nibhongwa ejo jona na nibhamujimya.
15 And he said to them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is highly exalted among men is an abomination before God.
Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Emwe nemwe omwigegela obhulengelesi imbele ya abhanu, nawe Nyamuanga kamenya emyoyo jemwe. Kulwokubha linu limenyekene kubhanu elibhaga efururusho ku Nyamuanga.
16 The Law and the Prophets were till John; from that time the glad tidings of the kingdom of God have been published, and every one is forcing his way into it.
Mbe ebhilagilo na abhalagi bhyaliga bhilio okukingila Yoana naja. Okwambila akatungu ako, Omusango ogwo bhwana ogwo obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga ogulasibhwa, na bhuli munu kalegeja okwiingisha kwa amanaga.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fail.
Jolobhele olwire na insi okuwao nawe inyuguta imwi eye echilagilo okubhulao.
18 Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and he who marrieth a woman that hath been put away from her husband, committeth adultery.
Bhuli munu unu kasigana no mugasi waye natwala oundi kalomela, naunu katwala omugasi unu asigilwe no mulume waye kalomela.
19 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted sumptuously every day.
Mbe aliga alio omunu umwi alimunibhi nafwalaga jingubho ja irangi ya amajambarau ejobhugusi bhunene, bhuli siku nakondelesibhwa no obhwafu bhwo ubhutagiri bhwaye.
20 And a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Alio no omunu umwi lisinanlyaye Lazaro, alimutaka ne ebhilondo, neyanjaga kumulyango gwo omunibhi oyo.
21 and longing to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. But even the dogs came and licked his sores.
Lazaro esigomberaga okwiguta ganu galagalaga okusoka kumeja yo omunibhi jimbwa nijija okumulamba ebhilonda bhaye.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
Mbe ejile omutaka afwa nagegwa na bhamalaika nibhamukingya muchifubha cha Ibraimu. Omunibhi uliya ona nafwa nasikwa.
23 And in the underworld he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Munyombe ao aliga alimunyako, nalalamila nalola Ibraimu alikula na Lazaro alimuchifubha chaye. (Hadēs g86)
24 And he called and said, Father Abraham, have pity on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
Nalola naika ati, 'Lata Ibraimu, nuumfwile chigongo utume Lazaro enike insonde yechala chaye mumanji anyilishe olulimi lwwni; kulwokubha eninyasibhwa mumulilo gunu.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou didst receive thy good things in thy lifetime, and Lazarus in like manner his evil things; but now he is comforted here, and thou art tormented.
Nawe Ibraimu naika ati, 'Mwana wani ichuka lwa kutyo mubhulame bhwao walamiye agekisi, ka Lazaro nabhona amabhibhi. Nawe olyanu alyanu kafung'amibhwa kawe ounyasibhwa.
26 And besides all this, between us and you there is placed a great gulf, so that those who wish to cross from hence to you may not be able, and that those on that side cannot cross over to us.
Ingulu ya jona, liteweo elyobho enene na elela agati yeswe, koleleki bhanu abhenda okusoka enu okuja kwimwe bhasige okutula, nolwo abhanu bhe ewemwe bhatajokwambuka okuja kwiswe.'
27 Then he said, I pray thee then, father, to send him to my father's house;
Omunibhi oyo naika ati, 'Enikusabhwa lata Ibraimu, utume Lazaro ika owasu kulata.
28 for I have five brothers; that he may give earnest warning to them, that they too may not come into this place of torment.
Kulwokubha nina bhamula bhasu bhatanu koleleki abhakishe, enubhaya abhene ona bhasiga kukinga munyako anu nili.'
29 But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Nawe Ibraimu naika ati, 'bhali na Musa na abhalagi. Bhasigela bhabhategeleshe abho.
30 But he said, Nay, father Abraham; but if one should go to them from the dead, they would repent.
Omunibhi naika ati, 'Pai, Lata Ibraimu, omunu akasoka mubhafuye nabhakingako abhata ebhibhi.'
31 But he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded, though one should rise from the dead.
Nawe Ibraimu namubhwila ati, 'bhakabhula okungwa Musa na abhalagi bhatakutula okungwa nolwo omunu akasoka mubhafuye.'”
