< Luke 16 >

1 He said also to His disciples: "There was a rich man who had a steward, about whom a report was brought to him, that he was wasting his property.
اَپَرَنْچَ یِیشُح شِشْییبھْیونْیامیکاں کَتھاں کَتھَیاماسَ کَسْیَچِدْ دھَنَوَتو مَنُشْیَسْیَ گرِہَکارْیّادھِیشے سَمْپَتّیرَپَوْیَیےپَوادِتے سَتِ
2 He called him and said, "'What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, for I cannot let you hold it any longer.'
تَسْیَ پْرَبھُسْتَمْ آہُویَ جَگادَ، تْوَیِ یامِماں کَتھاں شرِنومِ سا کِیدرِشِی؟ تْوَں گرِہَکارْیّادھِیشَکَرْمَّنو گَنَناں دَرْشَیَ گرِہَکارْیّادھِیشَپَدے تْوَں نَ سْتھاسْیَسِ۔
3 "Then the steward said within himself, "'What am I to do? For my master is taking away the stewardship from me. I am not strong enough for field labour: to beg, I should be ashamed.
تَدا سَ گرِہَکارْیّادھِیشو مَنَسا چِنْتَیاماسَ، پْرَبھُ رْیَدِ ماں گرِہَکارْیّادھِیشَپَدادْ بھْرَںشَیَتِ تَرْہِ کِں کَرِشْیےہَں؟ مرِدَں کھَنِتُں مَمَ شَکْتِ رْناسْتِ بھِکْشِتُنْچَ لَجِّشْیےہَں۔
4 I see what to do, in order that when I am discharged from the stewardship they may give me a home in their own houses.'
اَتَایوَ مَیِ گرِہَکارْیّادھِیشَپَداتْ چْیُتے سَتِ یَتھا لوکا مَہْیَمْ آشْرَیَں داسْیَنْتِ تَدَرْتھَں یَتْکَرْمَّ مَیا کَرَنِییَں تَنْ نِرْنِییَتے۔
5 "So he called all his master's debtors, one by one, and asked the first, 'How much are you in debt to my master?'
پَشْچاتْ سَ سْوَپْرَبھوریکَیکَمْ اَدھَمَرْنَمْ آہُویَ پْرَتھَمَں پَپْرَچّھَ، تْوَتّو مے پْرَبھُنا کَتِ پْراپْیَمْ؟
6 "'A hundred firkins of oil,' he replied. "'Here is your account,' said the steward: 'sit down quickly and change it into fifty firkins.'
تَتَح سَ اُواچَ، ایکَشَتاڈھَکَتَیلانِ؛ تَدا گرِہَکارْیّادھِیشَح پْروواچَ، تَوَ پَتْرَمانِییَ شِیگھْرَمُپَوِشْیَ تَتْرَ پَنْچاشَتَں لِکھَ۔
7 "To a second he said, "'And how much do you owe?' "'A hundred quarters of wheat,' was the answer. "'Here is your account,' said he: 'change it into eighty quarters.'
پَشْچادَنْیَمیکَں پَپْرَچّھَ، تْوَتّو مے پْرَبھُنا کَتِ پْراپْیَمْ؟ تَتَح سووادِیدْ ایکَشَتاڈھَکَگودھُوماح؛ تَدا سَ کَتھَیاماسَ، تَوَ پَتْرَمانِییَ اَشِیتِں لِکھَ۔
8 "And the master praised the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for, in relation to their own contemporaries, the men of this age are shrewder than the sons of Light. (aiōn g165)
تینَیوَ پْرَبھُسْتَمَیَتھارْتھَکرِتَمْ اَدھِیشَں تَدْبُدّھِنَیپُنْیاتْ پْرَشَشَںسَ؛ اِتّھَں دِیپْتِرُوپَسَنْتانیبھْیَ ایتَتْسَںسارَسْیَ سَنْتانا وَرْتَّمانَکالےدھِکَبُدّھِمَنْتو بھَوَنْتِ۔ (aiōn g165)
9 "But I charge you, so to use the wealth which is ever tempting to dishonesty as to win friends who, when it fails, shall welcome you to the tents that never perish. (aiōnios g166)
اَتو وَدامِ یُویَمَپْیَیَتھارْتھینَ دھَنینَ مِتْرانِ لَبھَدھْوَں تَتو یُشْماسُ پَدَبھْرَشْٹیشْوَپِ تانِ چِرَکالَمْ آشْرَیَں داسْیَنْتِ۔ (aiōnios g166)
10 The man who is honest in a very small matter is honest in a great one also; and he who is dishonest in a very small matter is dishonest in a great one also.
یَح کَشْچِتْ کْشُدْرے کارْیّے وِشْواسْیو بھَوَتِ سَ مَہَتِ کارْیّیپِ وِشْواسْیو بھَوَتِ، کِنْتُ یَح کَشْچِتْ کْشُدْرے کارْیّےوِشْواسْیو بھَوَتِ سَ مَہَتِ کارْیّیپْیَوِشْواسْیو بھَوَتِ۔
11 If therefore you have not proved yourselves faithful in dealing with the wealth that is tainted with fraud, who will entrust to you the true good?
اَتَایوَ اَیَتھارْتھینَ دھَنینَ یَدِ یُویَمَوِشْواسْیا جاتاسْتَرْہِ سَتْیَں دھَنَں یُشْماکَں کَریشُ کَح سَمَرْپَیِشْیَتِ؟
12 And if you have not been faithful in dealing with that which is not your own, who will give you that which is your own?
یَدِ چَ پَرَدھَنینَ یُویَمْ اَوِشْواسْیا بھَوَتھَ تَرْہِ یُشْماکَں سْوَکِییَدھَنَں یُشْمَبھْیَں کو داسْیَتِ؟
13 "No servant can be in bondage to two masters. For either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will cling fast to one and scorn the other. You cannot be bondservants both of God and of gold."
کوپِ داسَ اُبھَو پْرَبھُو سیوِتُں نَ شَکْنوتِ، یَتَ ایکَسْمِنْ پْرِییَمانونْیَسْمِنَّپْرِییَتے یَدْوا ایکَں جَنَں سَمادرِتْیَ تَدَنْیَں تُچّھِیکَروتِ تَدْوَدْ یُویَمَپِ دھَنیشْوَرَو سیوِتُں نَ شَکْنُتھَ۔
14 To all this the Pharisees listened, bitterly jeering at Him; for they were lovers of money.
تَدَیتاح سَرْوّاح کَتھاح شْرُتْوا لوبھِپھِرُوشِنَسْتَمُپَجَہَسُح۔
15 "You are they," He said to them, "who boast of their own goodness before men, but God sees your hearts; for that which holds a proud position among men is detestable in God's sight.
تَتَح سَ اُواچَ، یُویَں مَنُشْیاناں نِکَٹے سْوانْ نِرْدوشانْ دَرْشَیَتھَ کِنْتُ یُشْماکَمْ اَنْتَحکَرَنانِیشْوَرو جاناتِ، یَتْ مَنُشْیانامْ اَتِ پْرَشَںسْیَں تَدْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ گھرِنْیَں۔
16 The Law and the Prophets continued until John came: from that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God has been spreading, and all classes have been forcing their way into it.
یوہَنَ آگَمَنَپَرْیَّنَتَں یُشْماکَں سَمِیپے وْیَوَسْتھابھَوِشْیَدْوادِناں لیکھَنانِ چاسَنْ تَتَح پْرَبھرِتِ اِیشْوَرَراجْیَسْیَ سُسَںوادَح پْرَچَرَتِ، ایکَیکو لوکَسْتَنْمَدھْیَں یَتْنینَ پْرَوِشَتِ چَ۔
17 But it is easier for earth and sky to pass away than for one smallest detail of the Law to fall to the ground.
وَرَں نَبھَسَح پرِتھِوْیاشْچَ لوپو بھَوِشْیَتِ تَتھاپِ وْیَوَسْتھایا ایکَبِنْدورَپِ لوپو نَ بھَوِشْیَتِ۔
18 Every man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and he who marries her when so divorced from her husband commits adultery.
یَح کَشْچِتْ سْوِییاں بھارْیّاں وِہایَ سْتْرِیَمَنْیاں وِوَہَتِ سَ پَرَدارانْ گَچّھَتِ، یَشْچَ تا تْیَکْتاں نارِیں وِوَہَتِ سوپِ پَرَدارانَ گَچّھَتِ۔
19 "There was once a rich man who habitually arrayed himself in purple and fine linen, and enjoyed a splendid banquet every day,
ایکو دھَنِی مَنُشْیَح شُکْلانِ سُوکْشْمانِ وَسْتْرانِ پَرْیَّدَدھاتْ پْرَتِدِنَں پَرِتوشَرُوپینابھُںکْتاپِوَچَّ۔
20 while at his outer door there lay a beggar, Lazarus by name,
سَرْوّانْگے کْشَتَیُکْتَ اِلِیاسَرَناما کَشْچِدْ دَرِدْرَسْتَسْیَ دھَنَوَتو بھوجَنَپاتْراتْ پَتِتَمْ اُچّھِشْٹَں بھوکْتُں وانْچھَنْ تَسْیَ دْوارے پَتِتْواتِشْٹھَتْ؛
21 covered with sores and longing to make a full meal off the scraps flung on the floor from the rich man's table. Nay, the dogs, too, used to come and lick his sores.
اَتھَ شْوانَ آگَتْیَ تَسْیَ کْشَتانْیَلِہَنْ۔
22 "But in course of time the beggar died; and he was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and had a funeral.
کِیَتْکالاتْپَرَں سَ دَرِدْرَح پْرانانْ جَہَو؛ تَتَح سْوَرْگِییَدُوتاسْتَں نِیتْوا اِبْراہِیمَح کْروڈَ اُپَویشَیاماسُح۔
23 And in Hades, being in torment, he looked and saw Abraham in the far distance, and Lazarus resting in his arms. (Hadēs g86)
پَشْچاتْ سَ دھَنَوانَپِ مَمارَ، تَں شْمَشانے سْتھاپَیاماسُشْچَ؛ کِنْتُ پَرَلوکے سَ ویدَناکُلَح سَنْ اُورْدّھواں نِرِیکْشْیَ بَہُدُورادْ اِبْراہِیمَں تَتْکْروڈَ اِلِیاسَرَنْچَ وِلوکْیَ رُوَنُّواچَ؛ (Hadēs g86)
24 So he cried aloud, and said, "'Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.'
ہے پِتَرْ اِبْراہِیمْ اَنُگرِہْیَ اَنْگُلْیَگْرَبھاگَں جَلے مَجَّیِتْوا مَمَ جِہْواں شِیتَلاں کَرْتُّمْ اِلِیاسَرَں پْریرَیَ، یَتو وَہْنِشِکھاتوہَں وْیَتھِتوسْمِ۔
25 "'Remember, my child,' said Abraham, 'that you had all your good things during your lifetime, and that Lazarus in like manner had his bad things. But, now and here, he is receiving consolation and you are in agony.
تَدا اِبْراہِیمْ بَبھاشے، ہے پُتْرَ تْوَں جِیوَنْ سَمْپَدَں پْراپْتَوانْ اِلِیاسَرَسْتُ وِپَدَں پْراپْتَوانْ ایتَتْ سْمَرَ، کِنْتُ سَمْپْرَتِ تَسْیَ سُکھَں تَوَ چَ دُحکھَں بھَوَتِ۔
26 And, besides all this, a vast chasm is immovably fixed between us and you, put there in order that those who desire to cross from this side to you may not be able, nor any be able to cross over from your side to us.'
اَپَرَمَپِ یُشْماکَمْ اَسْماکَنْچَ سْتھانَیو رْمَدھْیے مَہَدْوِچّھیدوسْتِ تَتَ ایتَتْسْتھانَسْیَ لوکاسْتَتْ سْتھانَں یاتُں یَدْوا تَتْسْتھانَسْیَ لوکا ایتَتْ سْتھانَمایاتُں نَ شَکْنُوَنْتِ۔
27 "'I entreat you then, father,' said he, 'to send him to my father's house.
تَدا سَ اُکْتَوانْ، ہے پِتَسْتَرْہِ تْواں نِویدَیامِ مَمَ پِتُ رْگیہے یے مَمَ پَنْچَ بھْراتَرَح سَنْتِ
28 For I have five brothers. Let him earnestly warn them, lest they also come to this place of torment.'

29 "'They have Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham; 'let them hear them.'

30 "'No, father Abraham,' he pleaded; 'but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
تَدا سَ نِویدَیاماسَ، ہے پِتَرْ اِبْراہِیمْ نَ تَتھا، کِنْتُ یَدِ مرِتَلوکاناں کَشْچِتْ تیشاں سَمِیپَں یاتِ تَرْہِ تے مَناںسِ وْیاگھوٹَیِشْیَنْتِ۔
31 "'If they are deaf to Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham, 'they would not be led to believe even if some one should rise from the dead.'"
