Luka 16
1 U Yesu akaaila hange eamanyisigwa akwe, “Aukole muntu ung'wi mgole aukekete, eandiki, na auewe kina umuandiki nuanso ukusapatilya insao yakwe.
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.
2 Kuite umugole akamiitanga, akamuila, ntuni ekeite nekija kitalako? Pumya ualya wauandiki wako, kunsoko shangaukutu umuandiki hange.
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.'
3 Nuanso umuandiki wikatambula munkolo akwe, ntende ule indogoilyo umukulu wane wakanihegelya uwitumi wane nuaundeki? Numugila anga nguluyakulema nukulima kuona minyala.
"The manager said within himself, 'What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I do not have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 Mine nekituma kuite anganahegigwa muitumi wane nuauandeki eantu ansingilye munyumba yao.
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.'
5 Mukuili wikaitanga awa niadaigwe numukulu wakwe, kela ung'wi aa akamuila nuakwanza, udaigwe keasike numukulu wane?
Calling each one of his lord's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe to my lord?'
6 Wekalunga ipimo mia moja niyamakuta wikamuila hola ehati ako ikie halaka andike amusini!
He said, 'A hundred batos of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
7 Wikamuila numuya nuewe udaigwe kiasike? Wikalunga ipimo mia moja niyautu wa ngano! Wikamuila hola ihati ako andike themanini.
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.'
8 Umukulu nuanso wikamulumbilya umuandiki dhalimu kunsoko naumutende kuelewa. Kuite ina aukumbigulu uwu akete uelewe wedu ituma kuhugu neantu nkeka ao kulila neele eana neawelu. (aiōn g165)
"His lord commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness, for the people of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the people of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Nunene kumuila mitendele kehumba shuya kunsao ya ubee nsoko anga ahita kigela amusingilye mulikalo lukale. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it is gone they may welcome you into the everlasting dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 Uyu numuhuili kueke nekinino kukila eze muhuili nukueke nekekolo ga nuyu numube kueke nekenino ezemubee nukueke nekekuluga.
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.
11 Ang'wi unyenye shangaaemiahueli kunsao naube nyenyu nukumuhuila munsao natai?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 Hangi ang'wi shaemiahueli kitumila ensao amuntu numugiza nyenyu nuekamupa unyenye nanyu?
If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
13 Kutile umitumi nuhumile kuitumila eakulu abeele kundogoelyo ukumubepelwa ung'wi nukumulowa numungiza, ang'wi ukuambikana nuyu kumumela numungiza. Shamuhumile kumitumela Itunda ninsao.”
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 are not able to serve God and wealth."
14 Inge i Mafarisayo naeaeze aloilwe impia aiigulye nanso ehi ekamumela.
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15 Hange wikaaela, “Unye nyenye nemikulya kutai ntongeela aantu, kuite Itunda uilengile inkolo yanyu. Kunso nelekuigwe kuantu iziibe ndongela ang'wi Tunda.
He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of people, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among people is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Ilago nianyakedagu aelekole kupuma kung'wa Yohana nauzile. Kupuma imatungo yayo, impola ninziza niyautemi wang'wi Tunda yetanantigwa, hange kila umuntu wegema kiingelya kungulu.
The Law and the Prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17 Kuite itotu ilunde nihe kuhegigwa kukila atauandeki nuung'wi nuilago kuula.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Law to become void.
18 Uyu nukumuleka umusungu wakwe nukutina musungu mungiza ugooye, nuyu nukumutina uyu nulekilwe numugoha nung'wenso ugooye.
Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 Aukole muntu ung'wi mugole aewitugala ang'wenda alagi azambalao nekitani nikeza hange aeezoloilo kila uluhiku kuugole wakwe nuukulu.
"Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 Hange numuhimbe ung'wi lina lakwe Lazaro aewiikwa pawingiilo wakwe, hange aukete nkomele.
A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was placed at his gate, full of sores,
21 Nung'we aukete nsula akikuta maminyangulwa nagwie mumeza amugole nuanso ata imbwa yakiza nukulampa inkomele yakwe.
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.
22 Yekatula umuhimbe nuanso nuekasha wikaholwa numalaeka sunga mukikua kang'wa Ibrahimu. Numugole nuanso wekasha wikaekwa.
It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Nukung'wanso kuulungu naukole mulwago wikahumbu imiho akwe wekamuona u Ibrahimu kukule nu Lazaro mukikua kakwe. (Hadēs g86)
In hell, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Wikalela nukulunga, Tata Ibrahimu, mbuisele umutume u Lazaro wine insonge nashala kakwe mumaze, alubuludishe ululeme lane. Kunsoko kagigwa mumoto uwu.
He called out 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.'
25 Kuite u Ibrahimu wikalunga, “Ng'wanane kembuka kina mulikalo lako ausengeye imakani ako nemaza, nu Lazaro uu aupatile nemabe. Inge itungo ile ukole papa ukiloelya nuewe ukuaaligwa.
"But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in like manner, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
26 Hange kukila nanso leekilwe ikombo ikulu hange ilundu kitaitu, nsoko awa nialoilwe kuputa kunu nukenda kitalanyu aleng'we hange eantu nianyu aleke kuputa keza kitaitu.”
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 none may cross over from there to us.'
27 Umugole nuanso wikalunga, “Kuulompa tata Ibrahimu, kina umutume mito lang'wa tata ane!
"He said, 'I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house;
28 Kunsoko nkete aluna ane aatano wahugule, kuwoa kina neensoga nienso azile papa palwago lulu.
for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won't also come into this place of torment.'
29 Kuite u Ibrahimu akalunga, “Akete i Musa neanyakidagu. Aleke aategelye wawo.
"But Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the Prophets. Let them listen to them.'
30 Umugole nuanso wikalunga, aa tata Ibrahimu, kuite angawaile umuntu nupile kuashi akuungama.
"He said, 'No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
31 Kuite u Ibrahimu wikamuila, “Angaaleke kuategelya u Musa nianyakidagu shanga akumija ataumuntu nuiukile kuashi.
"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.'"
