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.
Titia Jisu chela khan ke koise, “Ekjon dhuni manu thakise aru tai laga ekjon imandar thakise, kintu tai malik laga poisa khorcha kori ase koi kene kunba pora malik ke koi dise.
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!’
Titia dhuni manu taike mati kene hudise, ‘Eneka kotha khan tumi laga moi kele huni ase? Tumi ki kaam korise etu sob hisab kitab moike dibi, kelemane tumi etiya pora moi nimite kaam kori bole na paribo.’
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].’
Titia etu imandar tai nijorke koise, ‘Moi etiya ki koribo, moi laga malik pora kaam to moi pora loi lobole ase? Moi iman takot nai mati khundikena kaam kori bole aru moi bhik mangi bole sorom lage.
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!’
Moi ki kori bole lage moi jane, jitia moike kaam pora ulai dibo, manu khan taikhan laga ghor te moike matibo.’
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?’
Titia noukar pora jiman manu malik pora dhar loi kene thakise sobke tai matise, aru poila ekjon ke hudise, ‘Tumi moi laga malik ke kiman dibole ase?’
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]!’
Tai koise, ‘Moi eksoh botol oliv tel dibole ase.’ Titia tai koise, ‘Tumi laga hisab lobi aru joldi bohi kene yate pachas eneka likhibi.’
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].
Aru baki luwa dusra ke hudise, ‘Aru tumi kiman dibole ase?’ Tai koise, ‘Eksoh jola chawal.’ Taike koise, ‘etu hisab lobi, aru joldi pora likhibi assi dhan bosta.’
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)
Titia malik pora etu biya imandar jun chalaki pora kaam korise, taike bhal paise. Kilekoile, etu yug laga chokra khan to taikhan nijor yug laga chokra khan, jun khan jyoti laga ase, taikhan pora bhi bisi chalak ase. (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)
Moi tumikhan ke koi ase, paap laga dhun sompoti pora sathikhan bonai, aru jitia etu pora eku kaam nadiye, taikhan pora tumikhan ke kitia bhi khotom nohua jagate grohon kori lobo. (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].
Jun manu olop te bhi biswas hoi kene thake tai bisi te bhi eneka he thake, aru jun manu olop te bhi thoga baji kore tai bisi te bhi eneka he kore.
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]
Jodi tumikhan etu sapha nathaka dhun to bhal pora cholai kene rakhibo napare, tenehoile etu hosa dhun to tumikhan ke kun pora dibo?
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]
Aru tumikhan dusra manu laga dhun to bhal kori kene nacholaile, titia tumi nijor laga dhun to kineka chola bo?
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].”
Ekjon nokor pora duita malik laga kaam koribo na paribo, eneka korile tai ekjon ke ghin koribo aru ekjon ke morom koribo, aru nohoile ekjon ke chari kene dusra ke jai jabo. Tumikhan Isor aru dhun sompoti eke logote sewa kori bole na paribo.
14 There were some Pharisees [there]. They loved [to acquire] money. When they heard Jesus say that, they ridiculed him.
Aru jitia poisa morom kora Pharisee khan etu kotha khan hunise, taikhan Jisu uporte biya paise.
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.
Titia Jisu pora taikhan ke koise, “Tumikhan manu usorte nijorke bhal dikhai, kintu Isor he tumikhan laga mon to jane. Jun manu usorte dangor hobole bisare tai Isor usorte komjur hoijai.
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].
Bhabobadi khan aru niyom khan John laga homoi tak he thakise. Etu homoi para Isor laga rajyo laga susamachar prochar hoise, aru sob manu etu janibo nimite joborjosti jaise.
17 [All of God’s] laws, [even those that seem] insignificant, are more permanent than heaven and earth.
Sorgo aru prithibi harabo nimite asan ase, kintu niyom te ki likhi kene ase, etu laga ekta chutu bhag bhi naharabo.
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.”
Kun manu tai laga shadi maiki ke chari diye aru dusra maiki ke shadi kore, tai bebichari kaam korise, aru jun manu mota pora chari diya maiki logote shadi kore, tai bhi bebichari kaam kori ase.
19 [Jesus also said] [MET], “Once there was a rich man who wore [expensive] purple linen [garments]. He ate luxuriously every day.
Aru ekjon dhuni manu thakise, tai daam begoni rong kapra aru bhal mihin kapra lagai kene thakise, aru hodai din khushi aru moja pora thake.
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.
Kintu ekjon gorib manu Lazarus koi kene tai laga mukhyo diwar te thakise aru tai laga gaw pura te biya ghaw pora bhorta koi kene thake,
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.
aru etu dhuni manu laga thali pora ki gire eitu khan khabole nimite rukhi thake. Kintu kutta khan bhi ahikena tai laga ghaw to chati thake.
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}.
Etiya etu gorib manu to mori jaise, aru tai laga atma ke sorgodoth pora Abraham laga usorte loi jaise. Aru etu dhuni manu bhi mori jaise aru taike kobor te di dise,
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)
aru mora manu laga desh pora tai laga suku to uthaikene Abraham ke dikhise aru tai laga usorte Lazarus ke bohi thaka dikhise. (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!’
Titia etu dhuni manu kandi kene koise, ‘Baba Abraham, moi uporte morom koribi aru Lazarus ke yate pathai dibi, tai laga anguli pora hoilebi moike pani dikene jiba ke thanda kori dibole, kelemane moi etu jui te juli kene dukh pai ase.’
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.
Kintu Abraham pora koise, ‘Bacha, yaad koribi tumi laga jibon te sob bhal saman he paise, aru Lazarus to sob biya he paise. Kintu etiya tai yate aram pora ase, aru tumi dukh te ase.
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.’
Etu sob to charikena, tumi aru amikhan majote ekta dangor khai ase, etu thaka pora manu yate pora tumi logote jabo na paribo aru taikhan bhi ta te pora yate ahibo na paribo.’
27 Then the rich man said, ‘If that is so, father [Abraham], I ask you [(sg)] to send [Lazarus] to my father’s house.
Titia dhuni manu koise, ‘Moi apnike anurodh kori ase, baba, apuni kunba ke moi laga baba ghor te pathai dibi-
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!’
kele koile moi laga pans jon bhai ase, taikhan ke hoshiar kori dibi, taikhan bhi etu dukh khotom nohua jagate nahibo nimite.’
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]!’
Kintu Abraham koise, ‘Taikhan logote Moses pora likha aru dusra bhabobadi khan pora likha bhi ase; taikhan ke taikhan laga kotha hunibo dibi.’
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.’
Kintu dhuni manu pora koise, ‘Nohoi Baba Abraham, kintu kunba mora pora uthi kene jaile he, taikhan mon ghura bo.’
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].’”
Kintu Abraham taike koise, ‘Jodi taikhan Moses pora likha aru dusra bhabobadi khan pora likha kotha mana nai koile, mora manu uthi jaile bhi taikhan mon naghurabo.’”
