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.
यीशु न चेलावों सी कह्यो, “कोयी धनवान को एक मुनीम होतो, अऊर लोगों न ओको आगु ओको पर यो दोष लगायो कि ऊ तोरी पूरी जायजाद उड़ाय देवय हय।
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!’
येकोलायी ओन ओख बुलाय क कह्यो, ‘यो का आय जो मय तोरो बारे म सुन रह्यो हय? अपनो मुनीम पन को लेखा दे, कहालीकि तय अब सी मोरो मुनीम नहीं रह्य सकय।’
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].’
तब मुनीम सोचन लग्यो, ‘अब मय का करू? कहालीकि मोरो मालिक अब मुनीम को काम मोरो सी छीन रह्यो हय। माटी त मोरो सी खोदी नहीं जावय, अऊर भीख मांगन म मोख शरम आवय हय।
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!’
मय समझ गयो कि का करू! ताकि जब मय मुनीमगिरी को काम सी छुड़ायो जाऊं त लोग मोख अपनो घरो म ले ले।’
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?’
“तब ओन अपनो मालिक को कर्जा चुकावन वालो ख एक–एक कर क् बुलायो अऊर पहिलो सी पुच्छ्यो, ‘तोरो पर मोरो मालिक को कितनो कर्जा हय?’
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]!’
ओन उत्तर दियो, ‘सौ मन तेल,’ तब मुनीम न ओको सी कह्यो; ‘अपनो बही-खाता ले अऊर बैठ क तुरतच पचास लिख दे।’
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].
तब ओन दूसरों सी पुच्छ्यो, ‘तोरो पर कितनो कर्जा हय?’ ओन उत्तर दियो, ‘एक हजार बोरा गहूं,’ तब ओन ओको सी कह्यो; ‘अपनो बही-खाता म आठ सौ लिख दे।’
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)
“मालिक न ऊ अधर्मी मुनीम की तारीफ करयो कि ओन हुसीयारी सी काम करयो हय। कहालीकि यो जगत को लोग अपनो समय को लोगों को संग लेन-देन म प्रकाश को लोगों सी अधिक हुसीयार हंय।” (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)
यीशु न उन्को सी कह्यो, “मय तुम सी कहू हय: कि जगत को धन सी अपनो लायी संगी बनाय ले, ताकि जब ऊ जातो रहेंन त हि तुम्ख अनन्त निवासों म ले ले। (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].
जो थोड़ो सो थोड़ो म विश्वास लायक हय, ऊ बहुत म भी विश्वास लायक हय; अऊर जो थोड़ो सो थोड़ो म अधर्मी हय, ऊ बहुत म भी अधर्मी हय।
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]
येकोलायी जब तुम जगत को धन म सच्चो नहीं ठहरो, त विश्वास को धन तुम्ख कौन सौंपेंन?
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]
अऊर तुम परायो धन म सच्चो नहीं ठहरो त जो तुम्हरो हय, ओख तुम्ख कौन देयेंन?
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].”
“कोयी सेवक दोय मालिक की सेवा नहीं कर सकय; कहालीकि ऊ त एक सी बैर अऊर दूसरों सी प्रेम रखेंन या एक सी विश्वास लायक रहेंन अऊर दूसरों ख तुच्छ जानेंन। तुम परमेश्वर अऊर धन दोयी की सेवा नहीं कर सकय।”
14 There were some Pharisees [there]. They loved [to acquire] money. When they heard Jesus say that, they ridiculed him.
फरीसी जो पैसा को लोभी होतो, या सब बाते सुन क यीशु ख ताना मारन लग्यो।
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.
यीशु न उन्को सी कह्यो, “तुम त आदमी को आगु अपनो आप ख सच्चो दिखावय हय, पर परमेश्वर तुम्हरो मन ख जानय हय, कहालीकि जो चिज आदमी की नजर म महान हय, ऊ परमेश्वर को नजर म तुच्छ हय।
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].
“मूसा की व्यवस्था अऊर भविष्यवक्ता यूहन्ना बपतिस्मा देन वालो को समय तक त रह्यो; ऊ समय सी परमेश्वर को राज्य को सुसमाचार सुनायो जाय रह्यो हय, अऊर हर कोयी ओको म ताकत सी सिरय हय।
17 [All of God’s] laws, [even those that seem] insignificant, are more permanent than heaven and earth.
आसमान अऊर धरती को गायब होय जानो व्यवस्था को एक बिन्दु को मिट जानो सी सहज हय।
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.”
“जो कोयी अपनी पत्नी ख तलाक दे क दूसरी बाई सी बिहाव करय हय, ऊ व्यभिचार करय हय; अऊर जो पति सी तलाक भयी बाई सी बिहाव करय हय, ऊ भी व्यभिचार करय हय।
19 [Jesus also said] [MET], “Once there was a rich man who wore [expensive] purple linen [garments]. He ate luxuriously every day.
“एक धनवान आदमी होतो जो महगों जामुनी कपड़ा पहिनतो अऊर हर दिन सुख–विलाश सी रहत होतो।
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.
लाजर नाम को एक गरीब आदमी, घावों सी भरयो हुयो, ओकी द्वार पर छोड़ दियो जात होतो,
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.
अऊर ऊ चाहत होतो कि मय धनवान की मेज पर सी गिरयो जेवन सी अपनो पेट भरू। यहां तक कि कुत्ता भी आय क ओकी घावों ख चाटत होतो।
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}.
“असो भयो कि ऊ गरीब मर गयो, अऊर स्वर्गदूतों न ओख उठाय क अब्राहम की बाजू म पहुंचायो। ऊ धनवान भी मरयो अऊर गाड़्यो गयो,
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)
अऊर अधोलोक म ओन दु: ख म पड़्यो हुयो अपनी आंखी ऊपर उठायी, अऊर दूर सी अब्राहम को जवर म लाजर ख देख्यो। (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!’
तब ओन पुकार क कह्यो, ‘हे बाप अब्राहम! मोरो पर दया कर, अऊर लाजर ख भेज दे ताकि ऊ अपनी बोट को सिरा पानी म फिजाय क मोरी जीबली ख ठंडी करेंन, कहालीकि मय या आगी म तड़प रह्यो हय!’
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.
“पर अब्राहम न कह्यो, ‘हे बेटा, याद कर, कि तय अपनो जीवन म अच्छी चिज ले लियो हय, अऊर वसोच लाजर बुरी चिज। पर अब ऊ इत शान्ति पा रह्यो हय, अऊर तय तड़प रह्यो हय।
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.’
या सब बातों ख छोड़ हमरो अऊर तुम्हरो बीच एक गहरो गड्डा ठहरायो गयो हय कि जो इत सी ओन पार तुम्हरो जवर जानो चाह्यो, त हि नहीं जाय सक्यो, अऊर नहीं कोयी उत सी येन पार हमरो जवर आय सक्यो।’
27 Then the rich man said, ‘If that is so, father [Abraham], I ask you [(sg)] to send [Lazarus] to my father’s house.
धनवान आदमी न कह्यो, ‘मय तुम सी बिनती करू हय, हे बाप अब्राहम, तय लाजर ख मोरो बाप को घर भेज,
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!’
कहालीकि उत मोरो पाच भाऊ हंय। ऊ जाय क उन्को जवर या बातों ख चिताय दे, असो नहीं होय कि हि भी यो दु: ख की जागा म आय।’
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]!’
“अब्राहम न कह्यो, ‘तुम्हरो भाऊ को जवर त मूसा अऊर भविष्यवक्ता की किताब हंय उन्ख चितावन लायी, हि उन्की सुनो कि का कह्य।’
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.’
धनवान आदमी न उत्तर दियो, ‘पर्याप्त नहीं, हे बाप अब्राहम! पर यदि कोयी मरयो हुयो म सी जीन्दो होय क उन्को जवर जाये, त हि अपनो पाप सी मन फिरायेंन।’
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].’”
पर अब्राहम न कह्यो, ‘जब हि मूसा अऊर भविष्यवक्तावों की नहीं सुनय, त यदि मरयो हुयो म सी कोयी जीन्दो भी होयेंन तब भी ओकी नहीं मानेंन।’”
