Luke 16
1 [Jesus] also said to his disciples, “Once there was a rich man who had a household manager. [One day] he was told {[someone] told him} that [the manager] was managing the rich man’s money badly.
Jezuz a lavaras ivez d'e ziskibien: Un den pinvidik en devoa ur merer a oa tamallet dirazañ da vezañ dispignet e vadoù.
2 So he summoned [his manager] and said to him, ‘(It is terrible what they are saying about you [(sg)]!/Is it true what they are saying about you [(sg)] [RHQ]?) Give me a written account of [the funds] you have been managing, because you can no longer be my [household] manager!’
Eñ a c'halvas anezhañ, hag a lavaras dezhañ: Petra a glevan lavarout ac'hanout? Gra din ar gont eus da c'houarnerezh, rak ne c'helli ken gouarn va madoù.
3 Then the manager thought to himself, ‘My master is going to fire me, so (I do not know what to do./what shall I do [RHQ]?) I am not strong enough to [work by] digging ditches, and I am ashamed to beg [for money].’
Neuze ar merer-mañ a lavaras ennañ e-unan: Petra a rin, pa lam va mestr diganin gouarnerezh e vadoù? Ne c'hellfen ket labourat an douar; mezh am befe o c'houlenn aluzen.
4 [Suddenly he had an idea]. ‘I know what I will do, so that people will take me into their houses [and provide for me] after I am dismissed {after my master dismisses me} from my work!’
Gouzout a ran petra a rin evit ma vo tud hag am degemero en o ziez, pa vo lamet va gouarnerezh diganin,
5 So [one by one] he summoned the people who owed his master money. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you [(sg)] owe my master?’
Neuze e c'halvas hini da hini dleourien e vestr, hag e lavaras d'an hini kentañ: Pegement a dleez da'm mestr?
6 The man replied, ‘Eight hundred gallons of olive oil.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill and sit down and quickly change it to 400 [gallons]!’
Eñ a respontas: Kant muzuliad (= kant bat) eoul. Hag ar merer a lavaras dezhañ: Kemer da verk, azez buan, ha skriv hanter-kant.
7 He said to another man, ‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A thousand bushels of wheat.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill and change it to 800 [bushels]!’ [He did similar things for the others who owed his master money].
Neuze e lavaras d'un all: Ha te, pegement a dleez? Eñ a lavaras: Kant muzuliad (= kant kor) gwinizh. Ar merer a lavaras dezhañ: Kemer da verk ha skriv pevar-ugent.
8 When his master [heard what the manager had done], he admired the dishonest manager for the clever thing he had done. [The truth] is that the ungodly people in this world act more wisely toward other people than godly people [MET] act. (aiōn g165)
Ar mestr a veulas ar merer disleal-se abalamour m'en devoe graet-se gant furnez; rak bugale ar c'hantved-mañ a zo furoc'h e-keñver o rummad eget bugale ar sklêrijenn. (aiōn g165)
9 [So] I tell you [(pl)] this: Use the money that you have [here] on earth to help others so that they will become your friends. Then when [you die and] you cannot [take] any money with you, [God and his angels] will welcome you into a home [in heaven] that will last forever. (aiōnios g166)
Ha me a lavar deoc'h: Grit mignoned gant pinvidigezhioù direizh, abalamour pa zeuint da vankout, e tegemerint ac'hanoc'h en teltennoù peurbadus. (aiōnios g166)
10 People who faithfully manage small [matters] will also faithfully manage important [matters]. People who are dishonest in [the way they handle] small [matters] will be dishonest [in the way they handle] important [matters].
An hini a zo leal en traoù bihan, a vo ivez leal en traoù bras; hag an hini a zo disleal en traoù bihan, a vo ivez disleal en traoù bras.
11 So if you have not faithfully handled the money that [God has given you here] on earth, (he will certainly not allow you to possess the true [spiritual] riches [in heaven!]/would he allow you to possess the true [spiritual] riches [in heaven]?) [RHQ]
Mar n'hoc'h ket bet eta leal er madoù direizh, piv a fizio ennoc'h ar madoù gwirion?
12 And if you have not faithfully managed things that belong to other people, ([God] will certainly not allow you to receive [treasures in heaven that] would belong to you!/would God allow you to receive [treasures in heaven that] would belong to you?) [RHQ]
Ha mar n'hoc'h ket bet leal er madoù a zo d'ar re all, piv a roio deoc'h ar pezh a zo deoc'h?
13 No servant is able to serve two [different] bosses [at the same time. If he tried to do that], he would prefer one of them more than the other one; he would be loyal to one of them and despise the other one. [Similarly], you cannot [devote your life] to worshipping God and [worshipping] money and material goods [at the same time].”
Mevel ebet ne c'hell servijañ daou vestr; rak, pe e kasaio unan hag e karo egile, pe en em stago ouzh unan hag e tisprizo egile. Ne c'hellit ket servijañ Doue ha Mammon.
14 There were some Pharisees [there]. They loved [to acquire] money. When they heard Jesus say that, they ridiculed him.
Ar farizianed, hag a oa tud pizh, a selaoue kement-se, hag a rae goap anezhañ.
15 But he said to them, “You try to make other people think that you are righteous, but God knows your (inner beings/hearts). [So he will reject you. Keep in mind that many] things that people think are important, God thinks are detestable.
Eñ a lavaras dezho: Evidoc'h-hu, c'hwi a fell deoc'h tremen evit reizh dirak an dud, met Doue a anavez ho kalonoù; rak ar pezh a zo uhel dirak an dud, a zo fall bras dirak Doue.
16 The laws that [God gave Moses] and what the prophets [MTY] [wrote] were ([in effect/what you needed to obey]) until John [the Baptizer] came. Since then [I] have been preaching about how God wants to [rule people’s lives in a new way], and many people are [accepting that message and] very eagerly asking God to control [their lives. But that does not mean that God has abolished the laws that he established previously].
Al lezenn hag ar brofeded a yae betek Yann; adalek an amzer-se rouantelezh Doue a zo prezeget, ha pep hini a ya e-barzh dre nerzh.
17 [All of God’s] laws, [even those that seem] insignificant, are more permanent than heaven and earth.
Met aesoc'h eo d'an neñv ha d'an douar tremen, eget d'ur varrennig eus ul lizherenn hepken eus al lezenn mankout.
18 [For example, because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery. He also [considers that] any man who marries a woman who has been divorced by her husband {whose husband has divorced her} is [also] committing adultery.”
Piv bennak a gas kuit e wreg hag a zimez da unan all, a ra avoultriezh, ha piv bennak a zimez d'ur wreg a zo bet kaset kuit gant he gwaz, a ra avoultriezh.
19 [Jesus also said] [MET], “Once there was a rich man who wore [expensive] purple linen [garments]. He ate luxuriously every day.
Bez' e oa un den pinvidik en em wiske gant limestra ha lien fin, hag a veve bemdez en un doare pompadus.
20 And every day a poor man whose name was Lazarus was laid {[some people also] laid a poor man whose name was Lazarus} at the gate of the rich man’s [house]. Lazarus’ body was covered with sores.
Bez' e oa ivez ur paour, anvet Lazar, hag a oa gourvezet ouzh e zor, goloet a c'houlioù;
21 He [was so hungry that he] wanted to eat the scraps [of food] that fell from the table where the rich man [ate]. Furthermore, [to make things worse], dogs came and licked his sores.
c'hoantaat a rae terriñ e naon gant ar bruzhun a gouezhe diwar taol an den pinvidik; hag ar chas zoken a zeue da lipat e c'houlioù.
22 [Eventually] the poor man died. Then he was taken by the angels {the angels took him} to [start feasting] next to his [ancestor] Abraham. The rich man also died, and his body was buried {[some people] buried his body}.
En em gavout a reas ma varvas ar paour, hag e voe kaset gant an aeled en askre Abraham. Ar pinvidik a varvas ivez, hag e voe sebeliet;
23 In the place where dead people wait [for God to judge them], he was suffering great pain. He looked up and saw Abraham far away, and he saw Lazarus sitting close to Abraham. (Hadēs g86)
o vezañ e lec'h ar marv, er poanioù, e savas e zaoulagad, hag e welas eus pell Abraham, ha Lazar en e askre; (Hadēs g86)
24 So he shouted, ‘Father Abraham, I am suffering very much in this fire! So [please] pity me, and send Lazarus [here] so that he can dip his finger in water [and touch] my tongue to cool it!’
o krial, e lavaras: Tad Abraham, az pez truez ouzhin, ha kas Lazar, evit ma trempo en dour penn e viz, ha ma freskaio din va zeod, rak gwall-boaniet on er flamm-mañ.
25 But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that while you [(sg)] were alive [on earth] you enjoyed [many] good things. But Lazarus was miserable. Now [it is fair that] he is happy here, and you are suffering.
Abraham a respontas: Va mab, az pez soñj penaos ec'h eus resevet da vadoù e-pad da vuhez, ha Lazar n'en deus bet nemet poanioù; bremañ eñ a zo diboaniet, ha te a zo er poanioù.
26 Besides that, there is a huge ravine between you [(sg)] and us. So those who want to go from here to where you [(sg)] are, are not able to. Furthermore, no one can cross from there to where we [(exc)] are.’
Ouzhpenn-se, bez' ez eus ur poull bras etre c'hwi ha ni, en hevelep doare ha pa fellfe d'ar re a zo amañ tremen aze, ne c'hellfent ket, kennebeut ha d'ar re a zo aze dont d'hor c'havout-ni.
27 Then the rich man said, ‘If that is so, father [Abraham], I ask you [(sg)] to send [Lazarus] to my father’s house.
Ar pinvidik a lavaras: Da bediñ a ran eta, tad Abraham, da gas Lazar da di va zad, rak pemp breur am eus,
28 I have five brothers [who live there]. Tell him to warn them [to turn away from their sinful behavior so that] they do not also come to this place, where [we(exc)] suffer great pain!’
evit testeniañ dezho an traoù-mañ, gant aon na zeufent ivez el lec'h-mañ a boanioù.
29 But Abraham replied, ‘[No, I will not do that, because your brothers] are able to [go to the Jewish meeting places where the priests] read what Moses and the prophets [wrote]. They should listen to what Moses and the prophets [MTY] [wrote]!’
Abraham a respontas dezhañ: Bez' o deus Moizez hag ar brofeded; ra selaouint anezho.
30 But the rich man replied, ‘No, father Abraham, [that will not be enough] But if someone from those who have died goes back to them [and warns them], they will turn from their sinful behavior.’
Ar pinvidik a lavaras: Nann, tad Abraham; met mar da unan bennak eus ar re varv d'o c'havout, o devo keuz.
31 [Abraham] said to him, ‘No! If they do not listen to [what] [MTY] Moses and the prophets [MTY] [wrote], even if someone would become alive again [and go and warn them], they would not be convinced {he could not convince them} [that they should turn from their sinful behavior].’”
Hag Abraham a lavaras dezhañ: Ma ne selaouont ket Moizez, nag ar brofeded, ne gredint ket kennebeut, ha pa savfe unan bennak a-douez ar re varv.
