Lucas 16
1 Kinuna pay ni Hesus kadagiti adalanna, “Adda maysa nga baknang nga addaan iti mangimatmaton, ken naipadamag kenkuana nga busbusbosen ti mangimatmaton dagiti kinabaknangna.
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.
2 Inayaban ngarud ti baknang ti mangimatmaton ket kinunana, 'Ania daytoy a madamdamag ko maipanggep kenka? Itedmo kaniak ti listaan dagiti amin a naaramidam, ta saan kan nga mangimaton.'
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.'
3 Kinuna ti mangimatmaton iti bagina, 'Ania ti nasken nga aramidek, agsipud ta alaenen ti amongko iti trabahok nga mangimaton? Saanko met nga kabaelan ti agkali, ken mabainak met nga agpakaasi.
"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.
4 Ammokon ti aramidek, tapno inton maikkatak iti trabahok, awatendakto dagiti tattao iti babbalayda.'
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.'
5 Inayaban ngarud ti mangimatmaton ti tunggal maysa kadagiti nakabulod iti amongna ket dinamagna iti immuna, 'Mano ti binulodmo iti amongko?'
"So he called all his master's debtors, one by one, and asked the first, 'How much are you in debt to my master?'
6 Ket kinunana, 'Sangagasut a rukod iti lana ti olibo,' Ket kinunana kenkuana, 'Alaem ti listaan, agtugawka nga dagus ket isuratmo iti limapulo.'
"'A hundred firkins of oil,' he replied. "'Here is your account,' said the steward: 'sit down quickly and change it into fifty firkins.'
7 Ket kinuna ti mangimatmaton iti maysa, 'Ket mano ti utangmo?' Kinunana, 'Sangagasut a rukod iti trigo.' Kinunana kenkuana, 'Alaem ti listaam, ket isuratmo ti walopulo.'
"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.'
8 Dinayaw ngarud ti baknang ti saan a nalinteg a mangimatmaton gapu iti inaramidna a kinasikap. Ta dagiti annak daytoy a lubong ket ad-adda iti kinasikapda no maipanggep kadagiti tattaoda, ngem dagiti annak iti lawag. (aiōn g165)
"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)
9 Ibagak daytoy kadakayo, makigayyemkayo babaen kadagiti kinabaknang ditoy lubong, tapno inton awanen, mabalin nga pasangbayen dakayo idiay agnanayon a pagtaengan. (aiōnios g166)
"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)
10 Siasinoman a mapagtalkan iti bassit ket mapagtalkan met iti adu, ken siasinoman a saan nga mapagtalkan iti bassit ket saan met a mapagtalkan iti adu.
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.
11 Ngarud, no saankayo a mapagtalkan iti panangusaryo iti kinabaknang ditoy lubong, siasino ti mangitalek kadakayo iti pudno nga kinabaknang?
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?
12 Kastamet, a no saankayo nga mapagtalkan iti banag nga kukua ti sabali, siasino ti mangted kadakayo iti bukodyo?
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?
13 Awan adipen a mabalinna ti agserbi iti duwa nga amo, ta masapul nga guraenna ti maysa ken ipategna ti maysa. Wenno agbalin a napasnek iti maysa ken umsienna ti maysa. Saankayo nga makapagserbi iti Dios ken iti kinabaknang.”
"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."
14 Idi nangngeg daytoy dagiti Pariseo a mangay-ayat iti kuarta, pinagang-angawanda isuna.
To all this the Pharisees listened, bitterly jeering at Him; for they were lovers of money.
15 Ket imbagana kadakuada, “Palintegenyo dagiti bagbagiyo iti imatang dagiti tattao, ngem ammo ti Dios ti puspusoyo. Agsipud ta ti nangato iti imatang dagiti tattao ket makapakarurod iti imatang ti Dios.
"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.
16 Maar-aramat ti linteg ken dagiti propeta agingga nga immay ni Juan. Manipud idi, ti naimbag a damag ti pagarian ti Dios ket naikasaba, ken tunggal maysa ket padpadasenda nga ipilit ti wagas da iti daytoy.
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.
17 Ngem nalaklaka a mapukaw ti langit ken daga ngem iti pannakaawan-serbi ti maysa nga letra iti linteg.
But it is easier for earth and sky to pass away than for one smallest detail of the Law to fall to the ground.
18 Tunggal maysa a mangisina iti asawana a babai ken mangasawa iti sabali ket nakikamalala, ken siasinoman a mangasawa iti babai nga naisina iti asawana ket nakikamalala.
Every man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and he who marries her when so divorced from her husband commits adultery.
19 Itatta adda maysa nga baknang a nakakawes iti maris-lila ken pino nga lino, ken inaldaw a ragragsakenna ti kinabaknangna.
"There was once a rich man who habitually arrayed himself in purple and fine linen, and enjoyed a splendid banquet every day,
20 Adda met maysa nga agpalpalama a managan Lazaro nga adda iti ruanganna ken napunno iti gaddil,
while at his outer door there lay a beggar, Lazarus by name,
21 ket kanayon nga agtartarigagay nga mapakan iti aniaman nga matinnag iti lamisaan ti baknang - malaksid iti dayta, umay pay dagiti aso a mangdilpat kadagiti gaddilna.
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.
22 Ti napasamak ket natay ti agpalpalama ket impan dagiti anghel iti sibay ni Abraham. Natay met ti baknang ket naitabon,
"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.
23 ket idiay hades, idi madama nga agsagsagaba, inngatona iti panagkitana ket nakitana iti adayo ni Lasaro nga nakasanggir iti barukong ni Abraham. (Hadēs g86)
And in Hades, being in torment, he looked and saw Abraham in the far distance, and Lazarus resting in his arms. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ket inyikkisna a kunana, 'Ama Abraham, kaasiannak koma. Ibaonmo ni Lazaro ta basaenna ti murdong ti ramayna iti danom, ket umayna isagid ditoy dilak, ta agsagsagabaak unay iti daytoy nga apuy.'
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.'
25 Ngem insungbat ni Abraham, 'Anak, laglagipem nga inawatmo dagiti agkakaimbag a banbanag iti unos ti panagbiagmo, ket inawat met ni Lazaro dagiti agkakadakes a banbanag. Ngem ita ket adda ditoy a maliwliwa,
"'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.
26 ket addaka iti nakaro a panagrigat. Ken malaksid kadagitoy, adda dakkel a yuyeng nga nalagda a naikabil, tapno dagiti adda ditoy a kayatna ti bumallasiw ket saan a makapan dita, ken awan makaumay ditoy nga aggapu dita.'
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.'
27 Kinuna ti baknang, 'Agpakpakaasiak kenka, Ama Abraham, nga ibaonmo isuna idiay balay ni amak -
"'I entreat you then, father,' said he, 'to send him to my father's house.
28 ta adda lima nga kakabsat ko a lallaki - tapno maballaaganna isuda, tapno agbutengda ket saanda met nga umay iti daytoy nga lugar a pagtutuokan.'
For I have five brothers. Let him earnestly warn them, lest they also come to this place of torment.'
29 Ngem kinuna ni Abraham, 'Adda kadakuada ni Moises ken dagiti propeta; bay-am nga dumngegda kadakuada.'
"'They have Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham; 'let them hear them.'
30 Insungbat ti baknang, 'Saan, Ama Abraham, ngem no adda maysa nga mapan kadakuada manipud kadagiti natay, agbabawida.'
"'No, father Abraham,' he pleaded; 'but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
31 Ngem imbaga ni Abraham kenkuana, 'No saanda nga dumngeg kenni Moises ken kadagiti propeta, saanda met laeng nga maallukoy uray adda agbiag manipud ken patay.'
"'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.'"
