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.
Si Jesus miingon usab ngadto sa mga disipulo, “Adunay usa ka dato nga anaay tagadumala, ug nahiabot kaniya ang balita nga kining tagadumala nag-usik-usik sa iyang kabtangan.
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!’
Busa gipatawag siya sa dato ug miingon kaniya, 'Unsa kining akong nadungog mahitungod kanimo? Paghatag ug listahan sa imong gidumalaan, tungod dili na ikaw mahimong tagadumala.'
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].’
Ang tagadumala miingon sa iyang kaugalingon, 'Unsa man ang akong angay nga buhaton, nga kuhaon naman sa akong agalon ang akong katungdanan sa pagdumala? Wala akoy igo nga kusog sa pagbugwal, ug maulaw usab ako magpakiluoy.
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!’
Kabalo na ako sa akong buhaton, aron sa dihang papahawaon na ako sa akong katungdanan sa pagdumala, pagadawaton ako sa mga tawo sa ilang mga balay.'
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?’
Unya gipatawag sa tagadumala ang matag-usa nga nakautang sa iyang agalon, ug iyang gipangutana ang nahiuna, 'Pila man ang imong utang sa akong agalon?'
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]!’
Siya miingon, 'Usa ka gatos nga sukod nga lana sa olibo.' Ug siya miingon kaniya, 'Kuhaa ang imong listahan, pagdali ug lingkod ug sulati ug 50.'
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].
Unya miingon ang tagadumala sa usa pa, 'Ug pila man ang imong utang?' Siya miingon, 'Usa ka gatos nga sukod sa trigo.' Siya miingon kaniya, 'Kuhaa ang imong listahan, unya sulati ug 80.'
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)
Unya gidayeg sa agalon ang dili matarong nga tagadumala tungod sa iyang maro nga binuhatan, tungod kay ang mga anak niining kalibotana labi pang maro alang kaayohan sa ilang katawhan kay sa mga anak sa kahayag. (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)
Sultihan ko kamo, pakighigala kamo pinaagi sa kalibotanong bahandi, kay aron kung mawala na kini, ila kamong pagadawaton ngadto sa walay katapusang pinuy-anan. (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].
Siya nga matinud-anon sa gagmay nga mga butang, matinud-anon usab sa mga dagkong butang, ug siya nga dili matarong sa mga gagmay nga butang dili usab matarong sa mga dagkong butang.
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]
Busa, kung dili kamo matinud-anon sa paggamit sa kalibutanong bahandi, kinsa man ang mosalig kaninyo sa tinuod nga bahandi.
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]
Sa samang paagi, kung dili kamo matinud-anon sa mga butang nga iya sa uban, kinsa man ang mohatag kaninyo sa inyong kaugalingong butang?
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].”
Walay sulugoon nga makaalagad ug duha ka agalon, kay iya gayong dumtan ang usa ug higugmaon ang usa, o kaha mahimo siyang mahinalaron sa usa ug biaybiayon ang usa pa. Dili kamo mahimong makaalagad sa Dios ug bahandi.”
14 There were some Pharisees [there]. They loved [to acquire] money. When they heard Jesus say that, they ridiculed him.
Karon ang mga Pariseo, nga mga mahigugmaon sa salapi, nakadungog niining tanan, ug sila nagtamay kaniya.
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.
Ug siya miingon kanila, “Inyong gipakamatarong ang inyong kaugalingon sa panan-aw sa mga tawo, apan ang Dios nakabalo sa inyong kasingkasing. Kay kung kinsa kadtong gibayaw taliwala sa mga tawo salawayon atubangan sa Dios.
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].
Ang balaod ug ang mga propeta nagapadayong mapuslanon hangtod nga miabot si Juan. Sukad niadtong higayona, ang ebanghelyo mahitungod sa gingharian sa Dios giwali na, ug ang matag-usa misulay pagpugos ug sunod niini.
17 [All of God’s] laws, [even those that seem] insignificant, are more permanent than heaven and earth.
Apan mas sayon pa mawagtang ang kalangitan ug kalibotan kaysa mawad-an ug bili ang usa ka kudlit niining balaod.
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.”
Ang tanan nga nakigbulag sa iyang asawa unya nakigminyo sa uban nakabuhat sa pagpanapaw, ug siya nga makigminyo sa tawo nga binulagan sa iyang bana nakapanapaw usab.
19 [Jesus also said] [MET], “Once there was a rich man who wore [expensive] purple linen [garments]. He ate luxuriously every day.
Karon adunay usa ka dato nga tawo nga nagbisti ug purpura ug manipis nga lino ug nagalipay matag- adlaw sa iyang dako nga bahandi.
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.
Adunay usa ka makililimos nga ginganlan ug Lazaro nga naghigda sa iyang ganghaan, ug napuno sa nuka,
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.
ug nangandoy nga makakaon sa pagkaon nga nangahulog sa lamisa sa dato- ug dugang pa niana, manuol kaniya ang mga iro sa pagtilap sa iyang mga nuka.
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}.
Ug niabot ang higayon nga namatay na ang maong makililimos ug gidala siya sa mga anghel ngadto sa kiliran ni Abraham. Ang dato usab namatay ug gilubong,
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)
ug didto sa hades, diin siya nagaantos, iyang giyahat ang iyang mga mata ug nakita si Abraham sa layo ug si Lazaro nga nagahigda sa iyang dughan. (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!’
Ug misinggit siya ug miingon, 'Amahan nga Abraham, kaloy-i intawon ako, ug ipadala si Lazaro nganhi, aron iyang ituslob ang tumoy sa iyang tudlo sa tubig ug aron mabugnawan ang akong dila, tungod kay hilabihan ang akong pag-antos niining init nga kalayo.
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.
Apan si Abraham miingon, 'Anak, hinumdomi nga sa sa tibuok nimong kinabuhi nadawat na nimu ang mga maayong butang, ug si Lazaro sa samang paagi daotang mga butang ang nadawat. Apan karon siya malipayon diri, ug ikaw nagaantos.
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.’
Ug bisan pa niining tanan, usa ka dakong bung-aw ang maayong pagkabutang, kay aron kadtong buot molabang gikan diri paingon kanimo dili makahimo, ug walay makalabang gikan diha paingon kanamo.'
27 Then the rich man said, ‘If that is so, father [Abraham], I ask you [(sg)] to send [Lazarus] to my father’s house.
Ang dato miingon, 'Nagpakiluoy ako kanimo, Amahang Abraham, nga ipadala mo siya ngadto sa balay sa akong amahan-
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!’
tungod ako adunay lima ka igsoon nga lalaki- aron iya silang mapahimangnoan, tungod sa kahadlok nga sila usab mopaingon sa nahimutangan nakong pag-antos.'
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]!’
Apan si Abraham miingon, 'Atua si Moises ug ang mga propeta; tugoti nga sila mamati kanila.'
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.’
Ang dato mitubag, 'Dili, Amahang Abraham, apan kung adunay minatay nga moadto kanila, maghinulsol sila.'
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].’”
Apan si Abraham miingon kaniya, 'Kung dili sila mamati kang Moises ug sa mga propeta, dili usab sila madani bisan ug adunay mabanhaw gikan sa patay.'”. /.
