Luke 16
1 And he went on to say, unto his disciples also, —There was, a certain rich man, who had a steward, and, the same, was accused to him as squandering his goods.
Jesu go den yedi o ŋoadikaaba: “O piado den ye ki pia o ŋalimankubilo ke bi ti cua o kani ki kuli o ŋalimanikubilo yeni ke o biani o piama.
2 And, accosting him, he said unto him—What is this I hear of thee? Render the account of thy stewardship, for thou canst no longer be steward.
O den yini o ki yedi o: 'N gba ke bi maadi apo be n yeni? Doagidi ki waani nni a ŋalimankubili tuonli fuuli, kelima a kan go baa ki ya tie n ŋalimanikubilo.'
3 And the steward said within himself—What shall I do, because my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? Dig, I cannot: to beg, I am ashamed.
O ŋalimankubilo yeni den yedi o pali nni: 'N canbaa baa ñani nni li ŋalimankubili tuonli nni. N baa tieni lede? Ki ko bu kpaabu? N kan fidi. ki ya miadi? Bu miabu pia nni i fe.
4 I know what I will do, that, when I am removed out of the stewardship, they may welcome me into their own houses.
N bani min baa tieni maama ke o ya ti ñani nni li ŋalimankubili tuonli nni, ke n gedi ki cani yaaba kuli, ban ga n cangu.'
5 And, calling unto him each one of the debtors of his own lord, he was saying unto the first, —How much owest thou my lord?
Lani o den yini o canbaa pandanba kuli yendo yendo. O den yedi yua n kpa cua: 'A pia n canbaa po i ŋa yo?'
6 And, he, said—A hundred baths of oil. And, he, said unto him—Kindly take thine accounts, and, sitting down, make haste and write—Fifty!
O den goa ki yedi o:' kpaboba kobiga.' O ŋalimankubilo den yedi o: 'Ga a panli tili ki kali ki diani tontoni kpaboba piimuu.'
7 After that, unto another, he said—And how much owest, thou? And, he, said—A hundred homers of wheat. He saith unto him—Kindly take thine accounts, and write—Eighty!
O den yedi toa mo: 'A pia n can baa po i ŋa yo?' O den goa ki yedi: 'Halikama kpalipadi kobiga.' O ŋalimanbilo den yedi o: 'Ga a panli tili ki diani kpapadi piinii.'
8 And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, in that with forethought he acted: —Because, the sons of this age, have more forethought than the sons of light, respecting their own generation. (aiōn g165)
O canbaa den pagi laa ŋalimankubilo yua n kaa tiegi, kelima o den tieni u fanu.” Jesu den pugini ki yedi: “Handuna yaaba fani leni bi lieba ki cie yaaba n tie mi yenma yaaba. (aiōn g165)
9 And, I, unto you, say—For yourselves, make ye friends, with the unjust Riches, in order that, as soon as it shall fail, they may welcome you into the age-abiding tents. (aiōnios g166)
N yedi yi ke yin taa mani ŋanduna ŋalimani yi n joagini yeni, ki baa danlinba, ke yi yaa ti pia yi ŋalimani ya yogunu, ban n ga yi cangu naani ki pia juodima nni. (aiōnios g166)
10 The faithful in least, in much also, is, faithful, and, he that in least is unrighteous, in much also, is, unrighteous.
Ban fidi ki dugi yua po li bonwaala po, bi go baa dugi o yaapo yo ya bonla n yaba po. Yua n ki tiegi li bonwaala nni, o kan go ya tiegi ya bonla n yaba nni.
11 If therefore, in the unjust Riches ye proved unfaithful, the true, who, unto you, will entrust?
Lanwani bi yaa fidi ki dugi yipo leni yin kubi ŋanduna ŋalimani maama yi n pia i boandi, ŋme baa piani yi o ŋalimanmoano?
12 And, if, in what was another’s, ye proved unfaithful, your own, who will give unto you?
Bi yaa fidi ki dugi yipo leni yin kubi nitoa ŋalimano maama, ŋme baa teni yi ya ŋalimano n tie yi yua?
13 No domestic, can, unto two masters, be in service; for either, the one, he will hate, and, the other, love, or, unto the one, he will hold, and, the other, despise: Ye cannot, unto God, be in service, and unto Riches.
Naacemo ba kuli kan fidi ki yaa tuuni canbaanba lie po, kelima o yaa baa nani o canbaakpialo ki bua o canbaalielo, o nan baa taabi o bonkpialo ki fali o bon lielo wani. Yi kan fidim ki ya taa ki tuuni U Tienu po leni ŋalimani po.”
14 Now the Pharisees, who were, lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were openly sneering at him.
Falisieninba yaaba n den bua i ligi ke likandi den gbadi lankuli ki ñuadi Jesu.
15 And he said unto them—Ye, are they who justify themselves before men, but, God, knoweth your hearts; because, that which amongst men is lofty, is an abomination before God.
O den yedi ba: “yinba yi moandi ke bi niba n ya nua ke yi tiegi, ama U Tienu wani n bani yi pala. Bi niba n nua ke yaala n pia ti kpiagidi yeni tie caginde U Tienu po.
16 The law and the prophets, were until John, —from that time, the good news of the kingdom of God, is being proclaimed, and, everyone, thereinto, is forcing his way.
Li balimaama leni bi sawalipuaba maama den die ki pundi ŋali Jan Batisi yogunu. Ki cili lanyogunu bi wangi U Tiennu diema laabaaliŋamo. Nilo kuli tieni u paalu ki bua ki kua lienni.
17 But it is, easier, for heaven and earth to pass away, than that, of the law, one little point, should fail.
Tanpoli leni ki tinga pendima dingi ki cie li balimaama nni ba dianfuudi yenga n bodi ki kan tieni.
18 Every one divorcing his wife and marrying another, committeth adultery; and, he that marrieth a woman divorced from a husband, committeth adultery.
Yua n ñani o pua ki go taa potoa kuli conbi. Yua mo n taa ban ñani yaa pua kuli, o conbi.
19 Now, a certain man, was rich, and he used to clothe himself with purple and fine linen, making merry day by day, brilliantly.
O piado den ye ki ye ki laa ti tiaciagidi, ki mangidi o pali daali leni o yeŋanma leni mi jemanma.
20 And, a certain beggar, by name Lazarus, used to be cast near his gate, full of sores,
O luodo moko den ye ke bi yi o Lasala. O den yen dua o piado yeni diegu buliñoajabu nni ke o gbanandi kuli tie nala.
21 and to long to be fed from the crumbs that fell from the table of the rich man: nay! even, the dogs, used to come and lick his sores.
mi koma den kubi o ŋali ke o den bua ki yaa di yaa jiema n joagidi o piado yeni saaje kaanu kani. Baa i sangbanli den kpendi ki liadi o nala moko.
22 And it came to pass that the beggar died, and was carried away by the messengers, into the bosom of Abraham. And, the rich man also, died, and was buried.
To, o luodo den kpe ke malekinba taa o ki geni Abalaŋama kani. O piado moko den ti kpe ke bi piino.
23 And, in hades, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
O den laadi fala bi tinkpiba n ye naankani. O den yaadi ki diidi ŋalifoagima, ki ban laa Abalaŋama leni Lasala ke o ye Abalaŋama kani. (Hadēs g86)
24 And, he, calling out, said—Father Abraham! have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, —because I am in anguish in this flame.
O den tiani ki yedi: 'N baa Abalaŋama, gbadi npo mi niŋima ki soani Lasala wan tu mi ñima leni o nabiyuli po ki cua ki kuugi npo n lanbu, kelima n laadi fala boncianla mi fantama na niini.'
25 But Abraham said—Child! remember—That thou didst duly received thy good things in thy life, and, Lazarus, in like manner, the evil things; but, now, here, he is comforted, and, thou, art in anguish.
Abalaŋama den goa ki yedi o: 'N biga, Tiadi ke a den baa yaala n ŋani boncianla ŋan den ye ya yogunu, ke Lasala mo den laadi fala boncianla. Moala, o ye ne ke bi baagidi o, a mo laadi fala.
26 And, besides all these things, betwixt us and you, a great chasm, hath been fixed, —so that, they who might wish to cross over from hence unto you, should not be able, nor any, from thence unto us, be crossing over.
Lani bebe ka, ku buociangu ye tinba leni yinba siiga, ki teni ke yaaba n bua ki ña ne ki gedi yipo kan fidi, yaaba n bua ki ña yi yaapo mo ki cua ti yaa kani kan fidi.'
27 But he said—I request thee then, father, that thou wouldst send him unto my father’s house, —
O piado den yedi: 'Lanwani n nan mia ŋa, `ŋan soani Lasala n baa den denpo.
28 for I have five brethren; —that he may solemnly testify unto them, lest, they also, come into this place of torment.
Kelima n pia waamu muu. Wan gedi ki ban tuodi ki waani ba ke bani wani n da cua o naa fala biado kaanu na niini.'
29 But Abraham saith—They have Moses and the Prophets: Let them hearken unto them.
Abalaŋama den goa ki yedi o: 'A waamu pia Musa leni bi sawalipuaba kuli, ban cengi ba.'
30 But, he, said—Nay! father Abraham, but, if one, from the dead, should go unto them, they would repent.
O piado den goa ki yedi: 'N baa Abalaŋama, yeni ka, yua n kpe yaa fii bi tinkpinba siiga ki gedi bi kani, bi baalebidi bi yama.'
31 But he said unto him—If, unto Moses and the Prophets, they do not hearken, neither, if one, from among the dead, should arise, would they be persuaded.
Abalaŋama den goa ki yedi o: 'Bi yaa yie kaa baa cengi Musa leni bi sawalipuaba, ba o nilo yaa fii bi bi tinkpiba siiga ki gedi bi kani, bi kan cengi o.”'
