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.
O Isus ple učenikonenđe vaćerđa: “Jekhe barvale manuše ine upravniko kole tužinde da halja lesoro barvalipe.
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!’
I o barvalo vičinđa le hem phenđa lese: ‘So šunava tutar adava? Ana maje o spisko te dikhav so ćerđan mle parencar adalese so našti više te ćere buti kora mande sar upravniko!’
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].’
Tegani o upravniko phenđa ana peste: ‘So ka ćerav kad mlo gospodari ka cidel man tari buti? Na injum edobor zoralo te handav, a lađava te prosinav.
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!’
Džanav so te ćerav te šaj o manuša priminen man pumenđe ano čhera kad ka ovav cidime tari buti.’
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?’
I vičinđa sa ple gospodaresere dužnikonen, i pučlja e prvone: ‘Kobor aveja mle gospodarese?’
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]!’
A ov phenđa: ‘Šel burija uljeja.’ Tegani o upravniko phenđa lese: ‘Siđar le to lil kaj pisime kobor aveja lese hem čhiv da aveja lese pinda.’
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].
I pučlja avere: ‘A tu kobor aveja mle gospodarese?’ A ov phenđa: ‘Šel burija điveja.’ I olese da phenđa o upravniko: ‘Le to lil hem čhiv da aveja lese oftovardeš.’
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)
I o gospodari pohvalinđa e nepoštenone upravniko so inele džando hem so ađahar postupinđa. Akava mothoj dai o manuša akale svetosere po džande ko postupci premalo okolende kolai slična olenđe, nego o manuša e svetlosere. (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)
Vaćerava tumenđe: ćeren tumenđe amalen ađahar so ka pomožinen lenđe akala phuvjakere barvalipnaja, te šaj, kad ka nakhel adava barvalipe, te oven primime ano večna čhera. (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].
Kovai verno ano najtikore buća, ov ka ovel verno hem ano najbare; a kova nane pravedno ano najtikore buća, ov naka ovel pravedno hem ano najbare.
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]
Te na injen verna ano akala phuvjakoro barvalipe, ko ka mukel tumenđe ano vasta o čačikano barvalipe?
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]
Te na injenle verna ano averesoro barvalipe, ko ka del tumen tumaro?
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].”
Nijekh sluga našti kandel duje gospodaren. Ili ka mrzini jekhe, a ka mangel e dujtone; ili jekhese ka ovel poslušno, a e dujtone naka podnosini. Našti kanden hem e Devle hem o barvalipe.”
14 There were some Pharisees [there]. They loved [to acquire] money. When they heard Jesus say that, they ridiculed him.
Sa adava, so vaćerđa o Isus, šunde o fariseja kola but mangle o pare, i asandile lese.
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.
A o Isus phenđa lenđe: “Tumen injen adala so ćerena tumen pravedna anglo manuša, ali o Devel džanel tumare vile. Okova soi but vredno e manušenđe, adavai gadno e Devlese.”
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].
Tegani o Isus phenđa: “O Zakoni e Mojsijasoro hem o Lila e prorokonengere sikavena ine e manušen đi o aviba e Jovanesoro, a od tegani propovedini pe o Šukar lafi taro carstvo e Devlesoro hem đijekh nasilno đerdini ano leste.
17 [All of God’s] laws, [even those that seem] insignificant, are more permanent than heaven and earth.
A palem, po lokhe o nebo hem i phuv te nakhen, negoli jekh slovo oto Zakoni te properel.
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.”
Jekh primer: Ko tumendar ačhaj pla romnja hem lela avera, ćerela preljuba. Hem ko lela romnja kola o rom muklja, isto ćerela preljuba.”
19 [Jesus also said] [MET], “Once there was a rich man who wore [expensive] purple linen [garments]. He ate luxuriously every day.
O Isus phenđa: “Inele nesavo barvalo manuš kova urjela pe ine sa ano najšuže šeja hem taro dive ko dive hala ine sa najšukar habinja.
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.
Angli lesiri kapija sa ano čirevija pašljola ine nesavo čororo manuš palo anav Lazar.
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.
Ov but manglja te čaljari pe e troškendar save perena ine taro astali e barvalesoro. Čak hem o đukle avena ine hem ližinena lesere čirevija.
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}.
Kad mulo o čororo, o anđelja legarde le e Avraamese ki angali. I o barvalo da mulo hem inele parume.
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)
I ano than e mulengoro, ano bare muke, o barvalo vazdinđa ple jaćha hem odural dikhlja e Avraame hem e Lazare lese ani angali. (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!’
Tegani vičinđa: ‘Dade Avraame, smilujin tut maje hem bičhal e Lazare te čhivel samo hari plo naj ano pani hem te avel te šudari mli čhib, adalese so but injum mučime ani akaja jag.’
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.
A o Avraam phenđa: ‘Mlo čhavo, setin tut da priminđan to šukaripe tuće ko dživdipe, a o Lazar plo bišukaripe. A akanai e Lazarese šukar akate, a tu mučineja tut.
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.’
Sem adava, isi bari provalija maškar amende hem tumende i te manglja neko te nakhel akatar kora tumende ili adathar kora amende, naka šaj.’
27 Then the rich man said, ‘If that is so, father [Abraham], I ask you [(sg)] to send [Lazarus] to my father’s house.
A o barvalo phenđa: ‘Onda molinava tut, dade Avraame, bičhal e Lazare mle dadese ko čher.
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!’
Adari isi man pandž phralja. Nek o Lazar upozorini len, te na aven hem on ko akava than e mukengoro.’
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]!’
A o Avraam phenđa: ‘Isi len o Zakoni e Mojsijasoro hem o Lila e prorokonengere. Nek šunen olen!’
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.’
A ov phenđa: ‘Nane adava dovoljno, dade Avraame! Ali te alo lenđe neko taro mule, ka obratinen pe.’
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].’”
I o Avraam phenđa lese: ‘Te na šunde adava so pisinđa o Mojsije hem o proroci, naka šunen ni te neko uštino taro mule.’”
