Luke 16
1 And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods.
Jesuh naw axüisaw hea veia hina ngthu a pyen be tü, “Khyang bawimangki mat naw, a khawh mceiki mat a tak. Acuna khawh mceiki naw a mahpaa khawh kpäkcaihsak ve tia mawng a mahpa üng mtheh law u se,
2 And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.
acunüng, a mahpa naw, ‘a khawh mceikia m'ya cun khü lü, na mawng ka ngjak hin ia suilam ni? Khawhtheme khana na bilawh na mtheh lawa. Atuh üng tün lü khawh mceikia am na kya ti khai’ a ti.
3 And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed.
“Acunüng, khawh mceiki naw a mlung k’uma ngai kyu lü, ‘Ka mahpa naw, a khawh ka mceinak üngka naw na pyaisak ve, lai co lü pi am ka nghlawh theiki, ka kthähei hü vaia pi ka ngkekhyakeiki, ikba ka awm khai ni?’
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
“Khawh mceinak üngka naw ami na pyaisak käna, ami ima na awmpüi khai hea püi ka tak üng daw khai ti ka ksingki,’ ti lü,
5 And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
acunüng a mahpaa khawh leinakia khyang he jah khü lü, akcüka veia, ‘Ka mahpaa khawh i kän na lei naki ni?’ a ti.
6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty.
“Acun naw, ‘Situi pung a phya lei na veng’ ti se, khawh mceiki naw, ‘angxita cajin lawpüi, ngaw lü, mhmakipa yua,’ a ti.
7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore.
“Acunüng, akce mata veia, ‘Nang mä i kän na lei naki ni?’ a ti, ani naw, ‘cang tawng thawng at lei na veng’ ti se, khawh mceiki naw, ‘angxita na cajin lawpüi, ngaw lü, phya khyeta yua,’ a ti.
8 And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
“Acunüng, am dawkia khawh mceiki naw acunkba a jah pawhmsah law a mahpa naw hmu lü, aktäa, a ngak. Khawmdek khyang he amimäta hama ami bilawhnak üng, akvai üng awmki hea kthaka khyaih bawki he ni,” a ti. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
Acunüng Jesuh bä naw, “Ka ning jah mthehki, nami hama khawmdek khawhthem püi na ua, acunüng ni acun a bäih law üng anglät xünak ima ning jah do khai he. (aiōnios g166)
10 He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much.
“Upi ajawcaa khana üpangak vaia awmki cun khawjaha khana pi üpangnak vaia ve khaia kyaki. Upi ajawca khana am üpangnak vaia awmki cun khawjaha khana pi üpangnak vaia am kya.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
“Acunakyase, khyük theikia khawmdek khawhthema khana pi am üpangnak vaia nami ve üng, u naw khawhthem kcang ning jah khämsak khai aw?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
“Khyang kcea khawhthema khana pi üpangnak vaia am nami awm üng, u naw nami ka vaia ning jah pe khai aw?
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. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
M'ya u naw mahpa nghngih am khüih khawi naw, mat ä ngja hlü lü, mat jawng na khai, am acunüng mat kü na lü mat kse na khai. Pamhnam la ngui atänga am nami jah khüih thei khai,” a ti.
14 And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him.
Acunüng, ngui jawngnaki hea Pharise he naw acuna ngthu ngja u lü, ami yaihei.
15 And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Khyanga hmuha nami cingcaihkia nami ngseki, cunsepi Pamhnam naw nami mlung ning jah ksingki ni; khyanga hmuha ami mküih cun Pamhnama hmuha msetei phyaki ni.
16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.
“Mosia thum la sahma hea yuke cun Johana am a pha law hlan üng awmki, Johan üngka naw tün lü Pamhnama khaw thangkdaw cun sanga kyaki. Acunüng, khyang avan amthuia lut khawiki he.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
“Cunsepi, thum anglungcaa khyüh theia kthaka ta, khawmdek la khankhawa khyüh vai jäi bawk khai.
18 Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.
“Upi a khyu mtai lü, nghnumi akce khyu naki cun a khyu mkhyekatki ni. Ami mtaia nghnumi khyu naki pi a khyu mkhyekat naki ni.
19 Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:
“Aktäa bawimangkia mangpa, aküi säiha thüi awi lü, amhmüp tä se hlimtui leng leng khaia ei aw lü awmki mat awmki.
20 and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,
“Acunüng, khuikha leng lengkia khyang, Lazaruh ngming naki pi mat, a pumsa üng mnehkse am be se, mangpaa mkawt peia ami lawpüi,
21 and desiring to be fed with the [crumbs] that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
mangpa buhkbe peia kbuhkbaw ei khaia, a mkawt peia ngjän se ui he naw a mneh ami mleh law pet khawi.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.
“Acunüng, hinkba kyaki, Lazaruh thi se khankhawngsä he naw Abrahama peia ngaw khaia ami cehpüi. Acunüng, mangpa pi thi se k’uta kyaki.
23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
“Acunüng, khyang kthikhawa aktäa khuikha lü hang mdeiki naw athuknaka Abraham, a peia Lazaruh ngaw se hmu lü, (Hadēs g86)
24 And he cried 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.
‘Aw ka pa Abraham, na m'yeneia. Lazaruh naw a kutmdawngca tui üng hnet lü, ka mlei a ye law sak vaia ka awmnaka tui lawa, hina meikdäi üng khuikha leng leng veng’ ti lü ngpyangki.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish.
“Acunüng Abraham naw, ‘Ka capa aw, na xün k’um üng akdaw yah lü, acunkba Lazaruh naw am dawki a yah cen süma; cunsepi, atuh ani dim’yenak am ve se, nang khuikha veki,
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they which would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.
acuna thea, hin üngka naw nami veia cit hlüki he am ami cehnak thei vai la upi nangmia awmnak üngka naw keimi veia am ami lawnak thei vaia, mi nglaka nghawinu awmki’ a ti.
27 And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house;
“Acunüng mangpa naw, ‘Am acunüng, ka pa aw, ka pa ima Lazaruh na tüih vaia hleng ning nghui na veng,
28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
ka hnunpüi kpami mhma awmki, hina khuikhanaka ä law msawk khai hea a jah va mtheh vaia’ a ti.
29 But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
“Acunüng Abraham naw, ‘Mosi la sahma he awmki he, acun hea jah mtheh ngai khai he ni,’ a ti.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.
“Acunüng, mangpa naw, ‘Ka pa Abraham aw, acunkba am kya, khyang kthi he üngka mat, tho law be lü ngthu a pyen üng ta ami katnak nghlat ta khai he ni,’ a ti.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.
“Acunüng Abraham naw, ‘Mosi la sahma hea ngthu am ami ngaih üng, khyang kthi üngka tho law be se pi am kcang na u,’ a ti” a ti.
