< 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.
Haddana wuxuu xertii ku yidhi, Waxaa jiri jiray nin hodan ah oo wakiil lahaa, kan loogu ashtakeeyey inuu alaabtiisa khasaarinayay.
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!’
Markaasuu u yeedhay oo ku yidhi, Waa maxay waxan kugu saabsan ee aan maqlayo? I sii xisaabtii wakiilnimadaada, waayo, hadda ka dib wakiil sii ahaan kari maysid.
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].’
Markaasaa wakiilkii isku yidhi, Maxaan sameeyaa, waayo, sayidkayga ayaa wakiilnimadii iga qaadaya? Itaal aan wax ku qodo ma lihi, inaan dawarsadona waan ka xishoonayaa.
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!’
Waan garanayaa waxaan samaynayo, in goortii wakiilnimada layga saaro ay dadku guryahooda iigu dhowayn doonaan.
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?’
Markaasuu u yeedhay mid walba oo sayidkiisu dayn ku lahaa. Kii hore ayuu ku yidhi, Sayidkaygu immisuu kugu leeyahay?
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]!’
Wuxuu yidhi, Boqol qiyaasood oo saliid ah. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Wixii laguu qoray soo qaad, oo dhaqso u fadhiiso oo qor, Konton.
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].
Markaasuu wuxuu mid kale ku yidhi, Immisuu kugu leeyahay? Isaguna wuxuu yidhi, Boqol qiyaasood oo sarreen ah. Markaasuu ku yidhi. Wixii laguu qoray soo qaad, oo qor, Siddeetan.
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)
Sayidkiisii ayaa wakiilkii xaqa darnaa faaniyey, waayo, si caqli leh ayuu u sameeyey, waayo, wiilashii wakhtigan waxay wiilasha iftiinka kaga caqli badan yihiin waxa qarnigooda ku saabsan. (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)
Oo waxaan idinku leeyahay, Saaxiibbo ku samaysta maalka xaqdarrada in goortuu dhammaado ay idiinku dhoweeyaan degmooyinka weligood ah. (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].
Kan waxa u yar aamin ku ah, ayaa weliba wax badan aamin ku ah. Kan waxa u yar ku xaqdaran, ayaa waxa badanna ku xaqdaran.
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]
Haddii aydnaan maalka xaqdaran aamin ku ahayn, waxa run ah yaa idinku aaminaya?
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]
Haddii aydnaan wixii qof kale leeyahay aamin ku ahayn, yaa idin siinaya wixiinna?
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].”
Midiidinna laba sayid uma shaqayn karo, waayo, mid buu nacayaa, kan kalena wuu jeclaanayaa, ama mid buu la jirayaa, kan kalena wuu quudhsanayaa. Uma wada shaqayn kartaan Ilaah iyo maal.
14 There were some Pharisees [there]. They loved [to acquire] money. When they heard Jesus say that, they ridiculed him.
Farrisiintii lacagta jeclayd ayaa waxaas oo dhan maqashay, wayna ku qosleen.
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.
Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Idinku waxaad tihiin kuwa dadka hortooda isku soo caddeeya inaad xaq tihiin, laakiin Ilaah waa garanayaa qalbiyadiinna, waayo, wixii dadka dhexdooda lagu sarraysiiyaa, Ilaah hortiisa waa ka karaahiyo.
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].
Sharciga iyo nebiyadu waxay jireen ilaa Yooxanaa; tan iyo wakhtigaas injiilka boqortooyada Ilaah waa lagu wacdiyey, oo mid walbaba xoog buu ku galaa.
17 [All of God’s] laws, [even those that seem] insignificant, are more permanent than heaven and earth.
Laakiin in sharciga dhibic keliya ka dhacdo waxaa ka hawl yar in cirka iyo dhulku ay idlaadaan.
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.”
Mid walba oo naagtiisa fura oo mid kale guursadaa wuu sinaystaa, oo kii guursadaa mid nin laga furay wuu sinaystaa.
19 [Jesus also said] [MET], “Once there was a rich man who wore [expensive] purple linen [garments]. He ate luxuriously every day.
Waxaa jiri jiray nin hodan ah oo dhar gududan oo jilicsan sidan jiray, maalin walbana barwaaqo aad buu ugu farxi jiray.
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.
Oo waxaa albaabkiisa la dhigi jiray miskiin Laasaros la odhan jiray, isagoo boogo miidhan leh,
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.
oo doonaya in la siiyo jajabkii miiska ninkii hodanka ahaa ka dhacay. Eeyduna way iman jireen oo boogihiisa leefleefi jireen.
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}.
Waxaa dhacay inuu miskiinkii dhintay, oo malaa'igahu waxay u qaadeen laabtii Ibraahim. Ninkii hodanka ahaana waa dhintay, waana la aasay.
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)
Intuu Haadees ku jiray ayuu indhihiisa kor u qaaday isagoo aad u silcaya; wuxuuna meel fog ka arkay Ibraahim, iyo Laasaros oo laabtiisa ku tiirsan. (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!’
Markaasuu qayliyey oo yidhi, Aabbe Ibraahimow, ii naxariiso, oo Laasaros ii soo dir inuu fartiisa caaraddeeda biyo ku tiinbiyo oo carrabkayga ku qabowjiyo, waayo, anigu ololkan ayaan ku silcayaa.
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.
Laakiin Ibraahim wuxuu ku yidhi, Wiil yahow, xusuuso inaad waxaagii wanaagsanaa heshay intii aad noolayd, si la mid ah ayuu Laasaros waxa xun helay, laakiin haddeer isaga halkan ayaa lagu raaxaysiiyey, adiguse waad silcaysaa.
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.’
Weliba annaga iyo idinka waxaa layna dhex dhigay bohol aad u weyn, si kuwa doonaya inay halkan ka sii tallaabaan inay idiin yimaadaan aanay u karin, oo kuwa xaggaasna ayna noogu soo tallaabin.
27 Then the rich man said, ‘If that is so, father [Abraham], I ask you [(sg)] to send [Lazarus] to my father’s house.
Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Aabbow, waxaan kaa baryayaa haddaba inaad guriga aabbahay isaga u dirtid,
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!’
waayo, shan walaalo ah baan leeyahay, si uu ugu warramo inaanay iyaguna meeshan silaca leh iman.
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]!’
Laakiin Ibraahim wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxay leeyihiin Muuse iyo nebiyada ee ha maqleen.
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.’
Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Maya, Aabbe Ibraahimow, laakiin haddii qof kuwii dhintay uga tago, way toobadkeeni doonaan.
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].’”
Wuxuuse ku yidhi, Haddii ay maqli waayaan Muuse iyo nebiyada, in kastoo qof kuwii dhintay ka soo sara kaco, la oggolaysiin kari maayo inay rumaystaan.
