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.
Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Mundu mmonga mweavi na vindu vyamahele, avi na mundu wa kuyimilila lihengu laki. Mkolo vindu ayuwini kuvya myimilila lihengu yula ipomondana vindu.
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.
Mkolo vindu, akamkemela myimila lihengu yula na kumkota, ‘kyani cheniyuwana? Nigana univalangila vindu vyoha, muni nakuhotola kuyimalila lihengu langu kavili.’
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.
Myimalila lihengu yula akahololela mumtima waki, ‘Bambu wangu igana kunivinga lihengu, yati nikita kyani? Makakala ga kulima nakuhotola na kuhamba kuyupayupa ngati namngangu niwona soni.
4 I know what I will do, that, when I am removed out of the stewardship, they may welcome me into their own houses.
Hinu nimanyili chakukita, muni penivingiwayi lihengu, muni vandu vanikemelayi kunyumba zavi.’”
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?
“Akavakemela voha vevidayiwa vindu na bambu waki, mmonga mmonga akatumbula kumkota yula wa kutumbula. ‘Udayiwa vindu vilinga na bambu wangu?’
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!
Mwene akamyangula. ‘Makalangi kumi na mcheche ga mahuta ya mizeituni,’ Ndi myimalila lihengu yula akajova, ‘Tola balua laku lewidayiwa, tama kanyata, yandika saba.’
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!
Kangi akamkota yungi, ‘Veve wakalidayiwa vindu vilinga?’ Akayangula, ‘Magunila ga nganu miya yimonga.’ Muyimilila lihengu yula akamjovela. ‘Tola balua laku la gewidayiwa Yandika semanini.’”
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)
“Bambu yula akamulumba myimila lihengu mwachenjili yula, muni ahengili kwa luhala. Ndava vandu va mulima uwu vana luhala neju pevihenga vindu na vandu ngati avo, kuliku vandu vevavi munkosi wa Chapanga.” (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)
Yesu akayendelela kujova, “Nikuvajovela nyenye, mjipatila vankozi kuhuma mumashonga na vindu vya pamulima uwu, muni pevimalika, vavakemela mumatamilu gavi ga magono goha. (aiōnios g166)
10 The faithful in least, in much also, is, faithful, and, he that in least is unrighteous, in much also, is, unrighteous.
Mundu yoyoha mwaisadikiwa muvindu videbe, mewa yati isadikiwa muvindu vyamahele. Na yoyoha angasadikiwa muvindu videbe isadikiwa lepi muvindu vyamahele.
11 If therefore, in the unjust Riches ye proved unfaithful, the true, who, unto you, will entrust?
Ngati nyenye mwisadikiwa lepi mumashonga na vindu vya pamulima, ndi yani akuvagotolela na vindu vya uchakaka?
12 And, if, in what was another’s, ye proved unfaithful, your own, who will give unto you?
Ngati nakuhotola kusadikiwa mumashonga na muvindu vya mundu yungi, yani mweihotola kuvagotolela vindu vinu mwavene?”
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.
“Kawaka mvanda mweihotola kuvahengela vabambu vavili, muni yati amgana mmonga na kumhakalila yungi, amala yati ilongosana na mmonga na kumuvevesa yungi. Mwihotola lepi kumuhengela Chapanga na mashonga.”
14 Now the Pharisees, who were, lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were openly sneering at him.
Vafalisayu pevayuwini genago, vakamvevesa Yesu, ndava vene vavi vandu vakugana mashonga,
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.
Yesu akavajovela, “Nyenye mujilola mwavabwina palongolo ya vandu, nambu Chapanga ayimanyili mitima yinu. Ndava chindu chechilolekana chabwina neju palongo ya vandu, kwa Chapanga chilolekana chihakau.”
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.
“Malagizu ga Chapanga geampelii Musa na mayandiku ga valota va Chapanga gakokwiswi mbaka lukumbi lwa Yohani wa Kubatiza. Kutumbula penapo, Lilovi la Bwina la Unkosi wa Chapanga ukokoswa, na kila mundu iyingila kwa makakala.
17 But it is, easier, for heaven and earth to pass away, than that, of the law, one little point, should fail.
Nambu yiyeywa neju kunani kwa Chapanga na mulima kuyaga kuliku kayandiku kadebe kuhunguliwa mu Malagizu ga Musa.”
18 Every one divorcing his wife and marrying another, committeth adultery; and, he that marrieth a woman divorced from a husband, committeth adultery.
“Mundu yoyoha mweakumuleka mdala waki na kugega yungi, mwenuyo ikita ugoni na mundu yoyoha mwaakumgega, mdala mwaalekiwi yula.” Namwene mewa ikita ugoni.
19 Now, a certain man, was rich, and he used to clothe himself with purple and fine linen, making merry day by day, brilliantly.
“Kwavili na mundu mmonga mweavi na vindu vyamahele, mwaawala nyula zezaguliwa kwa mashonga gamahele na nyula zezing'asima na kulya vindu vyabwina magono goha.”
20 And, a certain beggar, by name Lazarus, used to be cast near his gate, full of sores,
Na pamlyangu uvaha wa mundu mwenuyo, vavi kumvika mundu mmonga mngangu, liina laki Lazalu, mweavi na vilonda vyamahele.
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.
Mngangu mwenuyo, anogela kupewa vyakulya vevyagwayi pahi kuhuma pameza ya mkolo vindu vyamahele yula. Hati mabwa gabwela na kumihyanga vilonda vyaki.
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.
Lwakabwela lukumbi Lazalu yula afwili na vamitumu va kunani vakamtola na kumuvika papipi ya Ibulahimu. Na mkolo vindu vyamahele mewa afwili vakamzika.
23 And, in hades, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Mkolo vindu vya mahele yula, paavi mukung'ahika neju kuligodi litali langali mwishu, akamlola Ibulahimu cha kutali na Lazalu papipi yaki. (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.
Ndi akamkemela. Dadi, Ibulahimu! Nihengela lipyana, umtuma Lazalu ajwisa lung'onji lwaki mumanji na kunipolesa lulimi lwangu, muni ning'ahika neju mumotu uwu!
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.
“Nambu Ibulahimu akamyangula, mwana vangu. Holalela, wapokili vindu vyabwina pawavi muwumi waku, na Lazalu opokili vindu vihakau. Hinu Lazalu ipumuliswa, na veve uvi mumang'ahiso.
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.
Pamonga na genago, pagati ya nyenye na tete, kuvili na ligodi livaha, muni vevigana kubwela kwa nyenye nakuhotola, na vevigana kuwuka kwa nyenye kubwela kwa tete nakuhotola,
27 But he said—I request thee then, father, that thou wouldst send him unto my father’s house, —
Mkolo vindu vyamahele yula akajova, ‘Hinu Dadi Ibulahimu nikuyupa umtuma Lazalu ahamba kunyumba ya valongo vangu,
28 for I have five brethren; —that he may solemnly testify unto them, lest, they also, come into this place of torment.
muni nivii nawu valongo mhanu, ahamba akavajovela vajiyangalila vakotoka navene vakotoka kubwela kumang'ahiso kuni.’”
29 But Abraham saith—They have Moses and the Prophets: Let them hearken unto them.
“Ibulahimu akamjovela, kwenuko ‘Valongo vaku vavi na mayandiku ga Musa na vamlota va Chapanga, valeka, vavayuwanila venavo.’
30 But, he, said—Nay! father Abraham, but, if one, from the dead, should go unto them, they would repent.
Mkolo vindu vyamahele yula akajova kavili, ‘Lepi dadi Ibulahimu! Nambu ngati avahambalili mundu mweayukili kuhuma kwa vafwili, yati vileka kubuda kwavi.’
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.
Ibulahimu akajova, ‘Ngati nakuvayuwanila mayandiku ga Musa na vamlota va Chapanga, nakumyuwanila mundu yoyoha hati ngati ayukili kuhuma kwe vevafwili.’”
