Luke 16
1 And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.
Jesu go den yedi o ŋoadikaaba: “O piado den ye ki pia o ŋalimankubilo ke bi ti cua o kani ki kuli o ŋalimanikubilo yeni ke o biani o piama.
2 And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for thou mayest be no longer steward.
O den yini o ki yedi o: 'N gba ke bi maadi apo be n yeni? Doagidi ki waani nni a ŋalimankubili tuonli fuuli, kelima a kan go baa ki ya tie n ŋalimanikubilo.'
3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.
O ŋalimankubilo yeni den yedi o pali nni: 'N canbaa baa ñani nni li ŋalimankubili tuonli nni. N baa tieni lede? Ki ko bu kpaabu? N kan fidi. ki ya miadi? Bu miabu pia nni i fe.
4 I am resolved what to do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
N bani min baa tieni maama ke o ya ti ñani nni li ŋalimankubili tuonli nni, ke n gedi ki cani yaaba kuli, ban ga n cangu.'
5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
Lani o den yini o canbaa pandanba kuli yendo yendo. O den yedi yua n kpa cua: 'A pia n canbaa po i ŋa yo?'
6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
O den goa ki yedi o:' kpaboba kobiga.' O ŋalimankubilo den yedi o: 'Ga a panli tili ki kali ki diani tontoni kpaboba piimuu.'
7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.
O den yedi toa mo: 'A pia n can baa po i ŋa yo?' O den goa ki yedi: 'Halikama kpalipadi kobiga.' O ŋalimanbilo den yedi o: 'Ga a panli tili ki diani kpapadi piinii.'
8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
O canbaa den pagi laa ŋalimankubilo yua n kaa tiegi, kelima o den tieni u fanu.” Jesu den pugini ki yedi: “Handuna yaaba fani leni bi lieba ki cie yaaba n tie mi yenma yaaba. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
N yedi yi ke yin taa mani ŋanduna ŋalimani yi n joagini yeni, ki baa danlinba, ke yi yaa ti pia yi ŋalimani ya yogunu, ban n ga yi cangu naani ki pia juodima nni. (aiōnios g166)
10 He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
Ban fidi ki dugi yua po li bonwaala po, bi go baa dugi o yaapo yo ya bonla n yaba po. Yua n ki tiegi li bonwaala nni, o kan go ya tiegi ya bonla n yaba nni.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
Lanwani bi yaa fidi ki dugi yipo leni yin kubi ŋanduna ŋalimani maama yi n pia i boandi, ŋme baa piani yi o ŋalimanmoano?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who will give you that which is your own?
Bi yaa fidi ki dugi yipo leni yin kubi nitoa ŋalimano maama, ŋme baa teni yi ya ŋalimano n tie yi yua?
13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Naacemo ba kuli kan fidi ki yaa tuuni canbaanba lie po, kelima o yaa baa nani o canbaakpialo ki bua o canbaalielo, o nan baa taabi o bonkpialo ki fali o bon lielo wani. Yi kan fidim ki ya taa ki tuuni U Tienu po leni ŋalimani po.”
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and they derided him.
Falisieninba yaaba n den bua i ligi ke likandi den gbadi lankuli ki ñuadi Jesu.
15 And he said to them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight of God.
O den yedi ba: “yinba yi moandi ke bi niba n ya nua ke yi tiegi, ama U Tienu wani n bani yi pala. Bi niba n nua ke yaala n pia ti kpiagidi yeni tie caginde U Tienu po.
16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
Li balimaama leni bi sawalipuaba maama den die ki pundi ŋali Jan Batisi yogunu. Ki cili lanyogunu bi wangi U Tiennu diema laabaaliŋamo. Nilo kuli tieni u paalu ki bua ki kua lienni.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Tanpoli leni ki tinga pendima dingi ki cie li balimaama nni ba dianfuudi yenga n bodi ki kan tieni.
18 Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband, committeth adultery.
Yua n ñani o pua ki go taa potoa kuli conbi. Yua mo n taa ban ñani yaa pua kuli, o conbi.
19 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
O piado den ye ki ye ki laa ti tiaciagidi, ki mangidi o pali daali leni o yeŋanma leni mi jemanma.
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores,
O luodo moko den ye ke bi yi o Lasala. O den yen dua o piado yeni diegu buliñoajabu nni ke o gbanandi kuli tie nala.
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores.
mi koma den kubi o ŋali ke o den bua ki yaa di yaa jiema n joagidi o piado yeni saaje kaanu kani. Baa i sangbanli den kpendi ki liadi o nala moko.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried:
To, o luodo den kpe ke malekinba taa o ki geni Abalaŋama kani. O piado moko den ti kpe ke bi piino.
23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
O den laadi fala bi tinkpiba n ye naankani. O den yaadi ki diidi ŋalifoagima, ki ban laa Abalaŋama leni Lasala ke o ye Abalaŋama kani. (Hadēs g86)
24 And he cried, 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 tormented in this flame.
O den tiani ki yedi: 'N baa Abalaŋama, gbadi npo mi niŋima ki soani Lasala wan tu mi ñima leni o nabiyuli po ki cua ki kuugi npo n lanbu, kelima n laadi fala boncianla mi fantama na niini.'
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy life-time receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Abalaŋama den goa ki yedi o: 'N biga, Tiadi ke a den baa yaala n ŋani boncianla ŋan den ye ya yogunu, ke Lasala mo den laadi fala boncianla. Moala, o ye ne ke bi baagidi o, a mo laadi fala.
26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass to us, that [would come] from thence.
Lani bebe ka, ku buociangu ye tinba leni yinba siiga, ki teni ke yaaba n bua ki ña ne ki gedi yipo kan fidi, yaaba n bua ki ña yi yaapo mo ki cua ti yaa kani kan fidi.'
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house:
O piado den yedi: 'Lanwani n nan mia ŋa, `ŋan soani Lasala n baa den denpo.
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Kelima n pia waamu muu. Wan gedi ki ban tuodi ki waani ba ke bani wani n da cua o naa fala biado kaanu na niini.'
29 Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Abalaŋama den goa ki yedi o: 'A waamu pia Musa leni bi sawalipuaba kuli, ban cengi ba.'
30 And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will repent.
O piado den goa ki yedi: 'N baa Abalaŋama, yeni ka, yua n kpe yaa fii bi tinkpinba siiga ki gedi bi kani, bi baalebidi bi yama.'
31 And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one shall rise from the dead.
Abalaŋama den goa ki yedi o: 'Bi yaa yie kaa baa cengi Musa leni bi sawalipuaba, ba o nilo yaa fii bi bi tinkpiba siiga ki gedi bi kani, bi kan cengi o.”'
