Luka 16
1 Nake Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ: “Nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ ũmwe warĩ gĩtonga, nake nĩ aarĩ na mũrori wa indo ciake mũrori ũcio nĩathitangirwo kũrĩ gĩtonga kĩu atĩ nĩaitangaga indo ciake.
And he sayde also vnto his disciples, There was a certaine riche man, which had a stewarde, and he was accused vnto him, that he wasted his goods.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩĩta mũrori ũcio wa indo, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ũhoro ũcio ndĩraigua ũgũkoniĩ nĩ ũrĩkũ? Heana ũhoro wa ithabu rĩa ũrũgamĩrĩri waku, tondũ ndũgũcooka kũndorera indo ciakwa rĩngĩ.’
And hee called him, and saide vnto him, Howe is it that I heare this of thee? Giue an accounts of thy stewardship: for thou maiest be no longer steward.
3 “Nake mũrori wa indo icio akĩĩyũria na ngoro atĩrĩ, ‘Ngwĩka atĩa rĩu? Mwathi wakwa nĩekũndigithia wĩra. Ndirĩ na hinya mũiganu wa kũrĩma, na nĩngũconoka kũhooya.
Then the stewarde saide within himselfe, What shall I doe? for my master taketh away from me the stewardship. I cannot digge, and to begge I am ashamed.
4 Rĩu nĩndamenya ũrĩa ngwĩka nĩgeetha rĩrĩa ngaatigithio wĩra gũkũ, andũ makaanyamũkagĩra kwao mĩciĩ.’
I knowe what I will doe, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receiue mee into their houses.
5 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩĩta mũndũ o wothe warĩ na thiirĩ wa mwathi wake. Akĩũria mũndũ wa mbere atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ũrĩ na thiirĩ ũigana atĩa wa mwathi wakwa?’
Then called he vnto him euery one of his masters detters, and said vnto the first, Howe much owest thou vnto my master?
6 “Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Ndĩ na thiirĩ wa marebe magana meerĩ ma maguta ma mĩtamaiyũ.’ “Mũrori ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Oya marũa maku ma thiirĩ ũikare thĩ narua wandĩke atĩ ũrĩ na thiirĩ wa marebe igana rĩmwe.’
And he said, An hudreth measures of oyle. And he saide to him, Take thy writing, and sitte downe quickely, and write fiftie.
7 “Agĩcooka akĩũria mũndũ wa keerĩ atĩrĩ, ‘Na we ũrĩ na thiirĩ ũigana atĩa?’ “Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Ndĩ na thiirĩ wa makũnia igana rĩmwe ma ngano.’ “Mũrori ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Oya marũa maku ma thiirĩ wandĩke ũrĩ na thiirĩ wa makũnia mĩrongo ĩnana.’
Then said he to another, How much owest thou? And hee sayde, An hundreth measures of wheate. Then he saide to him, Take thy writing, and write foure score.
8 “Mwathi ũcio nĩagathĩrĩirie mũrũgamĩrĩri ũcio wa indo ciake ũtaarĩ mwĩhokeku nĩ ũndũ wa kũgĩa na ũũgĩ. Nĩgũkorwo andũ a gũkũ thĩ nĩ oogĩ na maũndũ mao gũkĩra andũ a ũtheri. (aiōn g165)
And the Lord commended the vniust stewarde, because he had done wisely. Wherefore the children of this worlde are in their generation wiser then the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, hũthagĩrai ũtonga wa gũkũ thĩ na gũthondeka ũrata na andũ, nĩguo rĩrĩa ũtonga ũcio ũgaathira, mũkaamũkĩrwo ciikaro-inĩ iria cia tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)
And I say vnto you, Make you friends with the riches of iniquitie, that when ye shall want, they may receiue you into euerlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
10 “Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũngĩĩhokerwo indo nini no ehokerwo o na indo nyingĩ, na ũrĩa wothe ũtangĩĩhokeka na indo nini o na nyingĩ ndangĩĩhokerwo.
He that is faithfull in the least, hee is also faithful in much: and he that is vniust in the least, is vniust also in much.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũngĩkorwo mũtarĩ ehokeku na ũtonga wa gũkũ thĩ-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩmwĩhokera ũtonga ũrĩa wa ma?
If then ye haue not ben faithful in the wicked riches, who wil trust you in the true treasure?
12 Ningĩ mũngĩkorwo mũtarĩ ehokeku na indo cia andũ arĩa angĩ-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩmũhe indo cianyu ene?
And if ye haue not bene faithfull in another mans goods, who shall giue you that which is yours?
13 “Gũtirĩ ndungata ĩngĩhota gũtungatĩra aathani eerĩ. Nĩ ũndũ no ĩthũũrire ũmwe yende ũcio ũngĩ, kana ĩĩheane harĩ ũmwe, ĩnyarare ũcio ũngĩ. Mũtingĩtungatĩra Ngai na mũtungatĩre mbeeca.”
No seruaunt can serue two masters: for either he shall hate the one, and loue the other: or els he shall leane to the one, and despise the other. Yee can not serue God and riches.
14 Nao Afarisai, arĩa meendete mbeeca, rĩrĩa maiguire maũndũ macio mothe, makĩambĩrĩria gũtemba Jesũ.
All these thinges heard the Pharises also which were couetous, and they scoffed at him.
15 Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mwĩtuuaga ega maitho-inĩ ma andũ, no Ngai nĩoĩ ngoro cianyu, nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũrĩa ũtuagwo wa bata mũno harĩ andũ, nĩguo ũrĩ magigi maitho-inĩ ma Ngai.
Then he sayde vnto them, Yee are they, which iustifie your selues before men: but God knoweth your heartes: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight of God.
16 “Ũhoro wa Watho na ũrutani wa Anabii watũire ũhunjagio nginya hĩndĩ ya Johana ũrĩa Mũbatithania. Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo, Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega wa ũthamaki-wa-Ngai nĩ ũhunjagio, na mũndũ o wothe nĩehatagĩrĩria aũtoonye.
The Lawe and the Prophets endured vntill Iohn: and since that time the kingdome of God is preached, and euery man preasseth into it.
17 Nĩ ũhũthũ igũrũ na thĩ gũthira, gũkĩra gaturumo karĩa kanini mũno ka Watho keherio watho-inĩ.
Nowe it is more easie that heauen and earth shoulde passe away, then that one title of the Lawe should fall.
18 “Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũngĩtigana na mũtumia acooke ahikie mũtumia ũngĩ, ũcio nĩatharĩtie, nake mũndũ mũrũme ũrĩa ũngĩhikia mũtumia ũtiganĩte na mũthuuri-we, nĩatharĩtie.”
Whosoeuer putteth away his wife, and marieth another, committeth adulterie: and whosoeuer marieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adulterie.
19 “Nĩ kwarĩ mũndũ warĩ gĩtonga wehumbaga nguo cia rangi wa ndathi na cia mũthemba wa gatani ĩrĩa njega, nake nĩeekenagia o mũthenya.
There was a certaine riche man, which was clothed in purple and fine linnen, and fared well and delicately euery day.
20 Na rĩrĩ, kĩhingo-inĩ gĩake nĩhaigagwo mũndũ wahooyaga thendi wetagwo Lazaro, waiyũrĩtwo nĩ ironda mwĩrĩ,
Also there was a certaine begger named Lazarus, which was laide at his gate full of sores,
21 nake nĩeeriragĩria kũrĩa rũitĩki rũrĩa rwagũũaga kuuma metha-inĩ ya gĩtonga kĩu. O na ngui nacio nĩciokaga na igacũna ironda ciake.
And desired to bee refreshed with the crommes that fell from the riche mans table: yea, and the dogges came and licked his sores.
22 “Ihinda nĩrĩakinyire mũhooi thendi ũcio agĩkua, nao araika makĩmũkuua makĩmũtwara harĩ Iburahĩmu. Gĩtonga kĩu o nakĩo nĩgĩakuire na gĩgĩthikwo.
And it was so that the begger died, and was caried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome. The rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Kĩrĩ kũu icua-inĩ, kĩna ruo rũnene, gĩgĩtiira maitho, gĩkĩona Iburahĩmu arĩ haraaya, na Lazaro arĩ hau nake. (Hadēs g86)
And being in hell in torments, he lift vp his eyes, and sawe Abraham a farre off, and Lazarus in his bosome. (Hadēs g86)
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩtonga gĩkĩmwĩta gĩkĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Iburahĩmu, Baba, njiguĩra tha, ũtũme Lazaro atobokie mũthia wa kĩara gĩake maaĩ-inĩ ooke aahehie rũrĩmĩ, tondũ ndĩ na ruo rũnene gũkũ mwaki-inĩ ũyũ.’
Then he cried, and saide, Father Abraham, haue mercie on mee, and sende Lazarus that hee may dippe the tip of his finger in water, and coole my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.
25 “Nowe Iburahĩmu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Mũrũ wakwa, ririkana rĩrĩa watũire muoyo woonaga o maũndũ mega, hĩndĩ ĩyo Lazaro nake oonaga o maũndũ mooru, no rĩu we nĩmũnyamarũre, nawe ũrĩ ruo-inĩ.
But Abraham saide, Sonne, remember that thou in thy life time receiuedst thy pleasures, and likewise Lazarus paines: now therefore is he comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 Hamwe na ũguo-rĩ, gatagatĩ gaitũ nawe harĩ na mũkuru mũriku mũno wĩkĩrĩtwo, nĩguo arĩa mangĩenda kuuma gũkũ tũrĩ moke kũrĩ we matikaahote, o na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngiuma kũu akĩre ooke gũkũ tũrĩ.’
Besides all this, betweene you and vs there is a great gulfe set, so that they which would goe from hence to you, can not: neither can they come from thence to vs.
27 “Nakĩo gĩtonga kĩu gĩgĩcookia atĩrĩ, ‘Ndagĩgũthaitha, baba, ũtũme Lazaro kũrĩ andũ a nyũmba ya baba,
Then he said, I pray thee therfore, father, that thou wouldest sende him to my fathers house,
28 nĩgũkorwo ndĩ na ariũ a baba atano. Reke athiĩ akamahe ũhoro, nĩguo matikanooke gũkũ kũrĩ na ruo rũnene ũũ.’
(For I haue fiue brethren) that he may testifie vnto them, least they also come into this place of torment.
29 “Iburahĩmu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Marĩ na Musa na Anabii; nĩmamathikĩrĩrie.’
Abraham said vnto him, They haue Moses and the Prophets: let them heare them.
30 “Nakĩo gĩtonga gĩkĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Iburahĩmu, baba, acio ti aiganu; mũndũ angĩthiĩ kũrĩ o oimĩte kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, no merire.’
And he sayde, Nay, father Abraham: but if one came vnto them from the dead, they will amend their liues.
31 “Agĩkĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, ‘Angĩkorwo matingĩigua Musa na Anabii, o na mũndũ angĩriũka kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ matingĩmũigua.’”
Then he saide vnto him, If they heare not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rise from the dead againe.
