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.
Yeso ma gu inanu utarsa umeme, “Awuzi ure unu mazi ini kirfi mazi indesa matarsa me ini kirfi me, a ē agun me unutarsa ini kirfi iweme ma huza ini Sarki nice.
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!’
Unu kirfi me ma titi me magun me, nyanini in kuna ani ce nuwe me? Aye mu ini benani ikirfi me, barki uda kuri u tarsum in ini ba.
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].’
Unu tarsa ini kirfi me magu iriba imeme, “Indi wu aneni, una kura madi kabi unu tarsa ina kura ame a tari tum? Mebe, in zomu in nikara na avara in kunna mu'i'in iki imum.
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!’
In rusa imum me sa indi wu ingi a karam u tarsa ina kura me, Anu wa kabum ati kura tuweme.
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?’
Unu tarsa ina kura me ma titi an desa una kura ma tarsa me ureme, magun unu nutuba ihuno ini una kura matarsa we?
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]!’
Magun me, magarwa ma mani manu akuru ukirau, Magun me, 'Kaba utagarda uweme, cukuno debe, u yetteke akuri ucibi!
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].
Ma kuri magun in uye, 'Ihuno ini una kura matarsa we?' Magu, ma buhu manu akure u karau me ialkama, magun me kaba utagarda, u yetteke manu akure uwiti tari.
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)
Una kura ma nonziko unu tarsa ina kura me barki upoko aje ameme. A hana une ugeme wa ribeze anyimo anu nee wa aka ahana masaa. (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)
In booshi ingi ya wuza ni runi gusi imumu un barki uzatu kadure, ingi ya mara, wadi kabi shi ati kura tishime ana imumu muriba. (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].
Desa ma wuga kadure imum icin, una kadure mani imum idangi, desa mazome inkadure ba a hira imum icin unu zatu kadure kani udang.
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]
In daki ya wuza kadure ahira imum unu zatu kadure, aveni madi hem inshi ini mum ika dure?
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]
Ingi daya kuri ya wuza uzatu kadure ini kirfi i uyeba, aveni madi nyashi i kirfi sa izi ishi?
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].”
Ba desa mada ke ma tarsi Asere kare, nani ma game a inde ma hem a inde, nani ma hem ina inde magame a inde ida ke i tarsi Asere i kuri i tarsi imumu une ba.
14 There were some Pharisees [there]. They loved [to acquire] money. When they heard Jesus say that, they ridiculed him.
Mafarisawa anu su ikirfi sa wa kunna ani me vat watungono tizuza tume.
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.
Ba ma gun we, “Shewani anu nyeze ace anyimo anu, Asere a rusa iriba ishime.
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].
Ubata utize nan anu kurzizo utize wa rani Yohana madiku ē. Datti uganiya ugino me azinu boo tize ta Asere, kodavi mazini uyakara u sosi niceni anyimo me.
17 [All of God’s] laws, [even those that seem] insignificant, are more permanent than heaven and earth.
Vat in anime, iteki unu seke Aseseri nan adezi amari, ini gona horibi inde be tize tum bi visa.
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.”
Vat desa ma gido unē umeme ma zika uye ma zinu wuza katuma kaburi, desa ma zika unē me sa agido me vat mazinu wuza katuma kaburi.
19 [Jesus also said] [MET], “Once there was a rich man who wore [expensive] purple linen [garments]. He ate luxuriously every day.
Awuzi uye unu imumu itari, ma sositi runga ti huma ti kirfi madi gala imum ime kondi uya uwui.
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.
A inki uye sa mamu uzo ana tukum ameme, unani 30 Liazaru desa vat nipun numeme tinuru tini.
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.
Madi isi iriba agi matingi mu gitu mu imumare sa idi rizizi adizi barki ma ti iwuxi cangi iki limbi magembu mameme.
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}.
Arā anyimo anime unu dira unikara ma wi, ibe ika dura ka Asere wa ē wa ziki me wa hamme a hira Ibrahim, Unu imum itarari ma wi, a vati me.
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)
Ma rā nyimo icau unu zito, ma venki nice ma iri Ibrahim pit, nan Liazaru a bigiri bumeme. (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!’
Ma titi magu, “Acoo Ibrahim, kuna ugogoni um, u tumi Liazaru ma soki kubo kucin kumeme a mei ma tenzikem ani lem, barki nirere nini izinu same anyimo Urā.
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.
Ibrahim magu, 'Vana, ringi inti cukum tuwe unē uwe, ukuri ukabi adadu a huma, me Liazaru nirere nini masi. A' aname urunta uni azinu nyiza ume abame, hu ni rere nini uzi na same.
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.’
Ban anime, uwaa u concon urani, barki an desa wa nyara wa kafa uaye ahira ashi kati wa rusi, kati kodavi makafa uaye uwatu uru.
27 Then the rich man said, ‘If that is so, father [Abraham], I ask you [(sg)] to send [Lazarus] to my father’s house.
Una imumu itari magu, 'In nyara, acoo Ibrahim, tuma me ma hā akura acoo am'.
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!’
Barki in zin ina nuhenu aruma ucibi, ma ha maka wuza tize kati wa ē ahira ani rere nigeme.
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]!’
Ibrahim magun, 'Wa zin Musa nan anu u kurzizo tize ta Asere, na wa kunna we.
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.’
Una imumu itari magu, 'Mmh' acoo Ibrahim, ungi uye ma hana ingi uye ma hana a nyimo adesa wa wono wadi kunna we, wa kabi tizeme.
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].’”
Ibrahim ma gun me, 'Ingi daki wa kunna Musa nan anu ukurzizo tize ta Asere ba, koda uye ma hira anyimo anu won cangi wadida kunna we ba.
