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.
A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, “Ashinkupagwa tajili jumo na nyapala jwakwe. Tajili jula ashinkulugulilwa, kuti nyapala jwabho anatapanya indu yabho.
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.
Tajili jula gwanshemile, nikummuya, ‘Indu yashi yako ugwe ingupilikanai? Utende malonda ga indu yangu yuposhele na yulile, pabha ukaapinjikwa kubha nyapala kabhili.’
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.
Nyapala jula gwaganishiye, ‘Bhakulungwa bhangu bhanaminga liengo lya unyapala, shindende bhuli? Nangali mashili ga lima, pita juga ngunakola oni.
4 I know what I will do, that, when I am removed out of the stewardship, they may welcome me into their own houses.
Elo, nishimanyi sha tenda nkupinga pushimingwe liengopo, bhandunji bhanjemelanje kunngwabhonji.’”
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?
“Bhai, gwabhashemilenje jumo jumo, bhakwetenje magambo bhowe kubhakulungwa bhakwe, gwammushiye jwa ntai jula, ‘Yukulongwa na bhakulungwa ilingwa?’
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!
Jwalakwe gwajangwile, ‘Nndobho 180 ya mauta ga sheituni.’ Nyapala jula gwannugulile, ‘Tola shipande sha ligambo lyako, shangu ujandishe nndobho makumi tisha.’
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!
Na gwammushiye akwete ligambo jwa bhili, ‘Ugwe ulongwa nndi?’ Jwalakwe gwajangwile, ‘Magunia 1,000 ga ngano.’ Nyapala jula gwannugulile, ‘Tola shipande sha ligambo lyako, shangu ujandishe magunia mia nane.’”
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)
Bhai tajili jula gwannumbilile nyapala jula, kwa penya kwakwe. Pabha bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo pano bhanapenyanga pubhatendanga indu na ashaajabhonji, kupunda bhandunji bha Upalume gwa a Nnungu. (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)
Na bhalabho a Yeshu gubhapundile kubheleketa, “Na nne ngunakummalanjilanga, mpanganje mbwiga na bhandunji kwa mali ga pa shilambolyo, nkupinga gamalaga, mposhelwanje kundamo ja pitipiti. (aiōnios g166)
10 The faithful in least, in much also, is, faithful, and, he that in least is unrighteous, in much also, is, unrighteous.
Jojowe shakulupalilwe kwa indu yaishoko, shakulupalilwe nkali kwa indu yaikulungwa, na jojowe akaakulupalika kwa indu yaishoko, akaakulupalika nkali kwa indu yaikulungwa.
11 If therefore, in the unjust Riches ye proved unfaithful, the true, who, unto you, will entrust?
Bhai ibhaga, mmanganya nkakulupalikanje kwa mali ga pa shilambolyo, gani shampanganje mali ga kweli?
12 And, if, in what was another’s, ye proved unfaithful, your own, who will give unto you?
Na nkakulupalikanje kwa mali gaka mundu juna, gani shankamuyanje mali genunji mwaashayene?
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.
“Jwakwapi ntumishi akombola kwaatumishilanga bhakulungwanji bhabhili, pabha shanshime jumo nikumpinga junajo, eu shanng'ishimiye jumo na junajo nikunnyegaya. Nkakombolanga kwaatumishila a Nnungu pamo na mali.”
14 Now the Pharisees, who were, lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were openly sneering at him.
Ashimapalishayo bhalinginji bhaapinganga mmbiya, bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhaeshilenje nkwaanyegaya.
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.
A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmanganya nnakwitendanga nkwetenje aki pa bhandu, ikabheje a Nnungu bhajimanyi mitima jenunji, pabha shene shibhoneka sha mmbone kubhandu, a Nnungu pubhakushibhona sha bhiyabhiya.
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.
“Shalia na ashinkulondola, yaapali mpaka malanga ga a Yowana Bhabhatisha. Kutandubhila penepo, ngani ja mmbone ja Upalume gwa a Nnungu jinalunguywa, na kila mundu anakwiijinjiya kwa mashili.
17 But it is, easier, for heaven and earth to pass away, than that, of the law, one little point, should fail.
Ikabheje ikakola ukomu kunnungu na shilambolyo kupita, kupunda nkali shipande shishoko sha Shalia kushoywa.
18 Every one divorcing his wife and marrying another, committeth adultery; and, he that marrieth a woman divorced from a husband, committeth adultery.
“Jojowe akunneka nkagwe nilomba juna, analabhalabha, na jojowe ankunnomba jwankongwe aleshilwe, analabhalabha.”
19 Now, a certain man, was rich, and he used to clothe himself with purple and fine linen, making merry day by day, brilliantly.
Ashinkupagwa mundu jumo tajili, awalaga nngubho ya mmbiya yaigwinji ya langi ja shambalau na ya kitani ja takata, alipoka mobha gowe.
20 And, a certain beggar, by name Lazarus, used to be cast near his gate, full of sores,
Na pannango gwakwe atendaga tama nkulaga jumo, lina lyakwe Lashalo, akwete ilonda shiilu showe.
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.
Lashalo atendaga lokolila malepei gaagwaga pa mesha jika tajili jula, nkali mbwa yatendaga kwiya kunnambanga ilonda yakwe!
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.
Bhai nkulaga jula akuwaga, ashimalaika bha kunnungu gubhantolilenje, nikwenda kummika pubhaliji a Bhulaimu. Na tajili na jwalakwe gwawile, nishikwa.
23 And, in hades, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Tajili jula ali mmboteko ya punda kundamo ja bhawilenje, gwajinwile meyo, gwabhabhweni a Bhulaimu kwataliya bhali nagwe Lashalo, (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.
Bhai, gwabhashemile kwa utiya, “Ambuje a Bhulaimu, mmonele shiya, muntume Lashalojo kapela shikowe ashubhishe mmashi, andolishiye nnulimi lwangu, pabha ngunapotekwa kwa kaje pamoto pano.”
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.
Ikabheje a Bhulaimu gubhajangwile, “Kumbushila mwanangu, kuti ugwe ushinkupoka nndamo jako, na Lashaloju ashinkulaga. Ikabheje nnaino, jwalakwe anapoka na ugwe unapotekwa kwa kaje.
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.
Kupunda genego, pakatipakati jetu uwe na mmanganya, lishibhikwa liimbo likulungwa, nkupinga bhapinganga kwiya kunngwenunji kukoposhela akuno bhanakombolanje, na bhapinganga kwiya kwetu uwe kukoposhela kweneko bhanakombolanje.”
27 But he said—I request thee then, father, that thou wouldst send him unto my father’s house, —
Tajili jula gwashite, “Bhai ambuje a Bhulaimu, shonde bhai muntume Lashalo ajende kulikaja lya atati,
28 for I have five brethren; —that he may solemnly testify unto them, lest, they also, come into this place of torment.
pabha njikola ashapwanga nng'ano, akaalungushiyanje nkupinga bhanaikangane kumboteko kuno.”
29 But Abraham saith—They have Moses and the Prophets: Let them hearken unto them.
Ikabheje a Bhulaimu gubhajangwile, “Ashapwako bhakwetenje a Musha na ashinkulondola, bhaapilikalanje bhanganyabho.”
30 But, he, said—Nay! father Abraham, but, if one, from the dead, should go unto them, they would repent.
Ikabheje na jwalakwe gwashite kabhili, “Nngabha nneyo ambuje a Bhulaimu, ikabhe mundu ayukaga nikwaajendelanga, shibhaipetanje.”
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.
Na bhalabho a Bhulaimu gubhajangwile, “Ibhaga bhakaapilikanilanje a Musha na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, bhakakundanga nkali mundu akayushile.”
