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.
uYesu akavavula avavulanisivua vake, “palyale nu muunhu jumonga m'mofu alyale nu m'baha mu mbombo jake,
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.
pe vakampela umm imhola sa m'baha jula kuuti, um'bombi ghwako um'baha itaghania ifyuma fyako. pe ummo akan'kemela akam'bula akati, “kwe kiliku ulyuve kino nipulika? humia imhola ija vuvaha vwako, ulwakuva nungave m'baha kange mu mbombo jango.
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.
um'baha jula akijovela mu mwoojo ghwake, nivombe kiki, ulwakuva untwa ghwango ikunivusia mu mbombo jango ija vuvaha? nisila ngufu sa kulima, na kusuma nivona soni.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
nikagula lino kyale nivomba kyande vanivusisie mu mbombo jango ja kwimilila avaanhu vanyupile mu nyuma save.
5 And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
pe pano umweimilili jula akavakemhela voni vano visighilua nu ntwa ghwake akam'bula ughwa kwanda, 'ghusighilua ilingi nu ntwa ghwango?'
6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty.
akati, 'fighelelo kilundo fya mafuta akam'bula,' tola ilikalataasi lyako ng'ani ng'ani lemba ifijigho fihaano,
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.
pe akam'bula ujunge najuve ghusighilua ilingi? akati, 'ifighelelo kilundo kimo ifya vutine vwa ngano'. tola ilikalataasi lyako, lemba ifijigho lekela kwoni'.
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)
untwa jula akamughinia um'baha jula ulakuva alyavombile nu vukagusi. ulwakuva avaanha va pa iisi iji vali nuvukagusi vyinga kukila avaanha va Nguluve. (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)
lino une nikuvavula kuuti, muvatangaghe avajinu ni kyuma kino mulinakyo, neke kyande kisilile, mwupilue ku vukalo vwa kusila na kusila. (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.
juno mugholofu mu lidebe kyongo iva mugholofu na mulikome. ghwope juno namugholofu mu lidebe naiva mugholofu na mulikome kange.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
nave umue namulyale vagholofu mu kyuma kino na kyakyangani pe ghwevene juno ikuvitika ku kyuma ikya lweli?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
kange nave namulyale vagholofu kutumila ikyuma kya muunhu junge, ghweveni juno ikuvapela sino sinu jumue?
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.
nakwale um'bombi juno ikuvavombela avatwa vavili, ulwakuva ghukunkalalilagha jumo na kumughana ujunge, nambe kukolana nuju na kum'benapula uju. nungawesie kukum'bombela uNguluve ni kyuma.
14 And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him.
pe avafarisayi, vano valyale vinoghua indalama ye vapulike aghuo ghoni vakam'benafula.
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.
kange akavavula, “umue mwemwemu mukuvona hwene vanya kyang'ani pa maaso gha vaanhu, neke UNguluve akagwile amoojo ghinu. ulwakuva lino lyimike kwa muunhu liva ng'alasi pa maaso ghwa Nguluve.
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.
indaghilo na vavili pwefilyale kuhanga uYohani panoa akisile. kuhuma unsiki ughuo, imhola inofu ja vutwa vwa Nguluve jikapulisivue, nu muunhu ghweni ighela kukwingila ku ngufu.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
neke kihugu ku kyanya ni iisi fivuke kuliko ililembe limo lya ndaghilo likosekane.
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.
ghweni juno ikumuleka un'dala ghwake na kun'toola un'dala ujunge ivwafuka, ghwope juno ikun'toola juno alekilue numughosi ghwake ivwafuka.
19 Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:
palyale nu mmofu jumonga alyafwalile amhenda aghanya sambalau na gha ndalama akale ihovokela uvumofu vwake uvukome.
20 and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,
nu nkotofu jumonga ilitavua lyake Lasali vakam'biki pa mulyango ghwa kunji kwa mofu jula, alyale ni fikongo.
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.
ghwope akinoghelua kulia ikyakulia kino kikaghwisagha pasi pa mofu jula nasi mbua sikisa sikamumyanga ifikong'o fyake.
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.
jikava unkotofu jula akafua, avanyaMhola vakantola kuhanga pakifuva pa Abulahamu. ummofu jula ghwope akafua akasyulua.
23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
ye alyale mumuko kuvulungu kula akadindula amaaso ghake akamwagha uAbulahamu kuvutali ali nu Lasali pakifuva kyake. (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.
akalila akati, 'baba Abulahamu, nisaghile un'sung'e u Lasali asase ulwove lwake mumalenga, alunoghelesie ululimi lwango; ulwakuva nipumusivua mu mwoto ughu.
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.
neke uAbulahamu akati, 'mwanago kumbuka kuuti mu vwumi vwako ukupile isako sino nono, nu Lasali vule vule alyapatile inyivi. neke lino alyapa uhuvilisivua, najuve ghupumusivua.
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.
na kukila aghuo, kuvikilie ilina ilikome pakate jitu kuuti vano vilonda kuluta kulyumue vakunuaghe na vaanhu va kulyumue navangalovokaghe kukwisa kulyusue'
27 And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house;
umofu jula akati, 'nisuuma baba Abulahamu kuuti unsung'e ku nyumba kwa baba ghwango.
28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
ulwakuva nili navanyalukolo vahano neke avavunge na veene ku vwoghofi piti vope vilikwisa pa mhumhuko apa.
29 But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
neke uAbulahamu akati, 'kwale uMoose na vavili, valeke vavapulikisie vavuo.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.
umofu jula akati, 'Ndali, baba Abulamahu, neke nave angalute umuunhu juno ahumile kuvafue vilaata,
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.
neke uAbulahamu akam'bula akati, 'ndeve navikuvapulikisia uMoose na vavili navangampulikisie nambe umuunhu angasyuke kuhuma kuvafue.
