Luke 16
1 He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Jwapali jwachipanje juŵakwete jwakwimilila ipanje yakwe. Jwachipanje ŵasalilwe kuti jwakwimililajo akonanga ipanje yenu.
2 He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
Nipele jwachipanje jo ŵambilasile ni kunsalila kuti, ‘Ana achi ni chichi chinguchipikana chachikungamba mmwejo? Mmalanje imwatite pakwimilila ipanje yangu yose, ligongo ngamma jwakwimilila ipanje yangu sooni’
3 “The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
Jwakwimilila jula ŵaganisisye mu ntima mwakwe achitiji, ‘Ambuje ŵangu akuuminga masengo ga kwimilila ipanje yao, sambano chindende chichi? Ngangombola kulima ni kuŵa ŵakuŵendaŵenda ikundesya soni.
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
Elo, nachimanyi chakutenda, kuti patachiminga masengo ga kwimilila ipanje ŵandu akombole kumbochela mmajumba gao.’
5 Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
“Nipele, ŵaaŵilasile ŵaali ni magambo wose ŵa ambujegwe jumo jumo, ŵambusisye jwaandanda, ‘Mwakongwele ilingwa kwa ambuje ŵangu?’
6 He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
Nombe ŵanjanjile ‘Mapipa mia moja ga mauta ga seituni’ Ni ŵansalile, ‘Ntole chikalata cha ligambo lyenu, ntame kwachitema ni kulemba mapipa ansini.’
7 Then he 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.’
Nipele, ŵammusisye jwamagambo jwine kuti, ‘Nomweji mwakongwele ilingwa?’ Ŵatite, ‘Magunia mia tatu ga ngano.’ Ni ŵansalile, ‘Ntole chikalata cha ligambo lyenu ni kulemba kwachitema magunia mia mbili ni alobaini.’
8 “His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light. (aiōn g165)
“Nambo mmbujegwe jula ŵannapile jwakwimilila ipanje yakwe jwangakukulupilichika jula ligongo ŵatesile mwakalamuka. Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵa pachilambo chi akalamwiche kwannope kwakupanganya indu yao ni achinjao kupunda ŵandu ŵaali mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.” (aiōn g165)
9 I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (aiōnios g166)
Nombe Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta, “None ngunsalila kuti ntende uganja ni ŵane kwa ipanje ya pachilambo kuti, ipanje pachiilepele kunkamusya mpochelwe mu utame wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
Jwakukulupilichika mu yamwana nnope jwelejo akukulupilichika atamuno mu yeikulungwa nombeyo. Ni jwangakukulupilichika mu yamwana ngaakukulupilichika atamuno mu yeikulungwa nombeyo.
11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Nipele iŵaga ŵanyamwe ngankukulupilichika mu ipanje ya pachilambo ŵaani ŵachachimpa ipanje yaili isyene?
12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
Iŵaga ŵanyamwe ngankukulupilichika mu indu ya mundu jwine ana ŵaani ŵachampe yaili yenu mwachinsyene?
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
“Ngapagwa kapolo jwakukombola kwatumichila achambuje ŵaŵili, pakuŵa chanchime jumo ni kunnonyela jwine pane chanchimbichisye jumo ni kunnyelusya jwine. Ngankukombola kwatumichila Akunnungu akuno nchitumichilaga mbiya kwanakamo.”
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
Mafalisayo ŵakunonyelwa mbiya paŵagapilikene gelego ŵanyelwisye Che Yesu.
15 He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mwanya nkuliŵalanjila nli ŵambone pa meeso pa ŵandu, nambo Akunnungu akujimanyilila mitima jenu. Pakuŵa chindu chachikuoneka chili chambone kwannope pa meeso pa ŵandu paujo pa Akunnungu chikuoneka chili chindu cha uchimwa.
16 “The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
“Malajisyo ga che Musa ni malembelo ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu galiji ganinkulalichikwa mpaka paŵaiche che Yohana Ŵakubatisya. Chitandile kele katema Ngani Jambone ja Umwenye wa Akunnungu jikulalichikwa ni jwalijose akwinjila mwelemo kwa machili.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
Nambo kwinani ni chilambo ikukomboleka kumala, kupunda kalembo kamo ka Malajisyo ga che Musa kutyosyekwa.
18 “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
“Mundu jwalijose jwakulekangana ni ŵankwawo ni kulombela jwine akutenda chikululu ni jwakunnombela juŵalekangene ni ŵankwawo, akutenda chikululu.”
19 “Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
“Jwapali mundu jwachipanje juŵawalaga iwalo ya ndalama jekulungwa ni kupoka moŵa gose.
20 A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
Paliji ni jwakulaga liina lyakwe che Lasalo juŵagumbele maŵanga pachiilu chose nombe ŵandu ŵane ŵagonekaga ŵelewo pannango wa nyuumba ja jwachipanje.
21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
Che Lasalo ŵalajile apegwe mbakatika sisyagwaga pakulila pa jwachipanje jo ni kupunda yeleyo mbwa syaikaga kukulapita maŵanga gakwego.
22 The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
“Lyuŵa limo jwakulaga jo ŵawile ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵanjigele ni kummika chiŵandi ni che Iblahimu. Nombe jwachipanje jula ŵawile ni kusikwa.
23 In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Jwachipanje jo ŵalasile nnope kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile ni ŵalolite kwinani ni kwaona che Iblahimu ali atemi pachiŵandi ni che Lasalo. (Hadēs g86)
24 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 in anguish in this flame.’
Ŵanyanyisye achitiji, ‘Atati che Iblahimu, mungolele chanasa, mwalajisye che Lasalo kuti anyoye kumbesi kwa chala chakwe mmeesi ni asisimisye lulimi lwangu, pakuŵa ndili nkusauka nnope mu mooto wu.’
25 “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
“Nambo che Iblahimu ŵajanjile, ‘Mwanangu, nkumbuchile kuti mmwe pamwaliji ni umi pachilambo mwamasile kupochela yambone yose iyammajile nombe che Lasalo ŵalasile. Nambo sambano akuno che Lasalo ali nkutuswa ntima ni mmwe ndi mkusauka.
26 Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
Kupunda yeleyi, pasikati jetu ni ŵanyamwe kwana lisimbo lyekulungwa pakuti ŵakusaka kutyoka akuno kwika kweleko anakombole ni anajomboche mundu jwakweleko kwika akuno.’
27 “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
Pele jwachipanje jula ŵatite, ‘Ngunchondelela, atati che Iblahimu kuti munnajisye che Lasalo jo ajaule kwa achalongo ŵangu,
28 for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
ligongo ngwete achapwanga nsano, ajaule akaajamuche kuti nombewo anaiche peuto pamasausyo pano.
29 “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
“Nambo che Iblahimu ŵansalile, ‘Achapwenu akwete malembelo ga che Musa ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu mwaleche ŵapilikanile ŵelewo.’
30 “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
Nambo jwachipanje jo ŵatite sooni, ‘Atati che Iblahimu ngaŵa yeleyo nambo iŵaga mundu jumo chasyuche ni kwajaulila, chaleche sambi syao.’
31 “He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
Nombe che Iblahimu ŵatite, ‘Iŵaga ngakugapilikanichisya ni kugakulupilila malembelo ga che Musa ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu atamuno asyuche jwalijose ni kwajaulila ngakombola kwanyenga.’”
