< Luke 16 >

1 Jesus also said to the disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and it was reported to him that this manager was wasting his possessions.
Jisu ih heliphante loong suh baatta, “Teewadi changteng wasiit angta heh nyamka loong ah heh laksuh suh maak thukta. Changteng wah asuh baat rumta heh laksuh ih bah heh nyamka rah lalangka ni thaajaaha eah.
2 So the rich man called him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'
Erah thoidi heh laksuh ah poon ano liita, ‘Arah ngah ih an tiit tumjih japchaat hang? Thoontang ngaakwanho an suh nga nyamka mathan ban maak thuk taha loong rah ah, tumeah an aadowa ih nga mootkaat phanlante takah angko.’
3 The manager said to himself, 'What should I do, since my master is taking away my management job? I do not have strength to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
Laksuh rah ih heh teeteewah suh liita, ‘nga changte wah ih ngah ah arah motang dowa etoohaat et thukte. Eno bah ngah ih tumjih re ang? Ngah ih phek uh tabaam jen phekkang, eno bikthaang suh uh rakmuurakke nih.
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from my management job, people will welcome me into their houses.'
Amadi ngah tumjih reejih ah jat ih ang! Eno nga mootkaat ah thoon abah, nga joonte loong eje neng ih ngah neng nok nah poon et hang.’
5 Then the manager called for each one of his master's debtors, and he asked the first one, 'How much do you owe to my master?'
“Eno heh ih heh changte wah nyamka namte loong mih ah lompoon ano baat rumta. Heh ih jaakhoh wah thoon asuh chengta, ‘an ih nga changte wah dowa mathan nam tu?’
6 He said, 'A hundred baths of olive oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write fifty.'
Olip bangthiing thuung chaasiit, heh ih ngaakbaatta. Mootkaat phanlante rah ih baatta; ‘an di arathan,’ ‘tong uh rook banga et raang uh.’
7 Then the manager said to another, 'How much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred cors of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'
Eno heh ih wahoh suh we chengta, ‘an ih aleh mathan nam tu?’ ‘Ata tiik haajaat siit thekook namtang,’ heh ih ngaakbaatta. ‘Arah than an ih kotjih ah,’ Laksuh rah ih baatta; ‘Cha asaat et raang uh.’
8 The master then commended the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own people than are the children of light. (aiōn g165)
“Erah thoidi changte wah ih phanlante maakthiwah ah jeng lachaat thang ih reeraangta asuh egu etjih ih hoonta; tumeah, arah mongrep dowa mina loong ah maama nyamka phanlan suh maakthih totoh weephaak mina loong ah nang ih ah.” (aiōn g165)
9 I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
Erah dam ih Jisu ih li rumta, “Erah thoih ih ngah ih baat rumhala: sen ih arah hatoh nyamka ah maak anno sen joonte ah hoon an, eno erah nyamka loong ah thoon sa doh, sen ah roitang lathoon theng nok adoh soongraang noppoon han. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and he who is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.
O mina ehinsah adi jen tuungmaang ah erah mina ah elongwah asuh uh ejen tuungmaang eah; o mina ehinsah nah phang thih abah elong nah uh ethih ang ah.
11 If you have not been faithful in using unrighteous wealth, who will trust you with true wealth?
Erah ang abah, sen hatoh nyamka adoh laphang toongtang kanbah, amiisak nyamka asuh tang mame jen toongtang baat an?
12 If you have not been faithful in using other people's property, who will give you money of your own?
Erah dam ih mihoh hukkhaak asuh sen laphang toongtang kanbah, an hukkhaak loong ah an suh uh o ih ma koho?
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
“Laksuh wasiit ah changte wanyi nok nah tajen moka; heh ih wasiit asuh mongnook ano wasiit ah miksuk jaatjaat et ah; heh ih wasiit dam adoh toongtang ang ah eno wasiit dam adoh toongtangka tah angka ang ah. An ih Rangte nyia ngun enyiinyi an changte tajen et hoonko.
14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him.
Pharisi loong ih erah japchaat rum ano, Jisu ah putbeek ngitkhuung rumta, tumeah neng ih ngun ah mongnook rumta.
15 He said to them, “You justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. That which is exalted among men is detestable in the sight of God.
Jisu ih baat rumta, “Sen loong ih senteewah ah mihoh miksok di epun et noisokte mina loong, enoothong sen tenthun ah Rangte ih jat ih halan. Tumeah marah suh mina ih thaangchaan thoon ih thiik ha ah Rangte raang ih thaangmuh ang ah.
16 The law and the prophets were in effect until John came. From that time on, the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone tries to force their way into it.
“Moses Hootthe nyia khowah loong ih raangta loong ah Juungtemte Joon tuk ih maak rumta; erah lih adi Ruurang Ese Rangte Hasong tiit ah baat rumha, eno erah hasong adoh nop suh laat tuutmui rumla.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the law to become invalid.
Enoothong Hootthe nawa jengdang ehinsah esiit taan uh lamatjih erah nang ih bah rang nyi hah mat ah elaang laan ang ah.
18 Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.
“O mina ih heh nusah dowa paak ano mihoh weekap abah heh ih roomjup mat ah kap ha; eno epaakcho minuh we kapte warah eh uh roomjup mat ah kap ha.
19 Now there was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and was enjoying every day his great wealth.
“Ehak di changteng wasiit angta heh ah thaangchaan nyuh akhat di choom ano saarookwih laboot labe ih songtongta.
20 A certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,
Erah di changthih wasiit heh men ah Lajaras, heh sak ah putang ih jeekma arah changteng wah nok kaaluung thong ni ban tongta,
21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
changteng wah tuibung teebun khui ni thaaja arah bantoon phaksate angta. Heh ma adi hui loong ih nep miiklak ih rumta.
22 It came about that the beggar died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried,
“Changthih wah ah tek ano rangsah loong ih Abraham re nah tongthuk suh siit wanrumta rangmong nawa sadung phaksat adi ah. Changteng wah ah tek ano bengkaatta,
23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus at his side. (Hadēs g86)
eno soolam ni, heh rapne ih chamwangta, heh rangkho ko ih toonsok adi haloot ni Abraham ah japtupta, Lajaras ah Abraham re adi tongta. (Hadēs g86)
24 So he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.'
Eno heh ih poonta, ‘Ewah Abraham! Ngah minchan ih weehang, Lajaras ah daapkaat weeho heh laktiik ah juung adoh tem ano nga tuuhih adoh taan toom tengtem jah weehang, tumeah arah we adi ngah rapne ih chamlang!’
25 But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things. But now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.
“Eno Abraham ih liita,” Dokthun et uh, nga sah, an roidong di an suh jaatrep eseejih loong ah kotaho, erah di Lajaras ah jaatrep ethih loong ah chota. Erah thoidi amadi heh tenroon ih tongla, eno an ah cham elu.
26 Besides all this, a great chasm has been put in place, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot, and no one can cross over from there to us.'
Erah loong tokkhodi, seng chamchi ni echoongwah haluung jeela, erah doh o mina uh aako nawa an reeko tami daankhoom raari, adoleh an reeko nawa uh aako nah tami daankhoom raaran.’
27 The rich man said, 'I beg you, Father Abraham, that you would send him to my father's house—
Changteng wah ih liita, ‘Erah ang abah, an lasih joh weehala, ewah Abraham, seng wah nok nah Lajaras ah kaat thuk weeuh,
28 for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that it may not be that they come into this place of torment.'
erah di nga nooloong wah banga je ah. Heh kah ano toom choophaan kah weerum ah, arah than chamchojih adoh neng ah taan naktoom mok wang we rumha.’
29 But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them listen to them.'
“Abraham ih baatta, ‘An nooloong di Moses nyia khowah loong eje neng suh baatte ah; neng ih erah loong jeng ah kapjih ang ah.’
30 The rich man replied, 'No, Father Abraham, but if someone would go to them from the dead, they will repent.'
Changteng wah ih ngaakbaatta, ‘Erah ah talaaleh weeka, ewah Abraham! Erah nah o ang abah uh tek nawa ngaaksaat ano neng reenah kah abah, neng rangdah nawa elek eah.’
31 But Abraham said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.'”
Ang abah uh Abraham ih liita, “Neng ih Moses nyia khowah loong jeng ah lachaat rumka bah, tek nawa ngaaksaatte taatje abah uh neng ih tabaam kapka.’”
