Luka 16
1 U Yesu akaaila hange eamanyisigwa akwe, “Aukole muntu ung'wi mgole aukekete, eandiki, na auewe kina umuandiki nuanso ukusapatilya insao yakwe.
And He said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his goods.
2 Kuite umugole akamiitanga, akamuila, ntuni ekeite nekija kitalako? Pumya ualya wauandiki wako, kunsoko shangaukutu umuandiki hange.
And he called him, and said unto him, What is this I hear of thee? give up the accounts of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.
3 Nuanso umuandiki wikatambula munkolo akwe, ntende ule indogoilyo umukulu wane wakanihegelya uwitumi wane nuaundeki? Numugila anga nguluyakulema nukulima kuona minyala.
And the steward said in himself, What shall I do? now my master takes away the stewardship from me; I am not able to work, and I am ashamed to beg.
4 Mine nekituma kuite anganahegigwa muitumi wane nuauandeki eantu ansingilye munyumba yao.
I know what I will do, that when I am turned out of my place, they may receive me into their houses.
5 Mukuili wikaitanga awa niadaigwe numukulu wakwe, kela ung'wi aa akamuila nuakwanza, udaigwe keasike numukulu wane?
So he called his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my master? and he said, an hundred baths of oil.
6 Wekalunga ipimo mia moja niyamakuta wikamuila hola ehati ako ikie halaka andike amusini!
And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down and write but 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, And how much owest thou? and he said, an hundred measures of wheat: and he said to him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
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)
And his master commended the dishonest steward as having acted prudently: for the men of this world are as to their affairs wiser than the children 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 unto you, Make to yourselves friends with these unrighteous treasures, that when they fail, ye may be received into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
10 Uyu numuhuili kueke nekinino kukila eze muhuili nukueke nekekolo ga nuyu numube kueke nekenino ezemubee nukueke nekekuluga.
He, that is faithful in the lest, is faithful also in much: and he, that is unjust in the lest, is unjust also in much.
11 Ang'wi unyenye shangaaemiahueli kunsao naube nyenyu nukumuhuila munsao natai?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the false riches, who will intrust you with the true?
12 Hangi ang'wi shaemiahueli kitumila ensao amuntu numugiza nyenyu nuekamupa unyenye nanyu?
and if ye have not been faithful in that which was 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 at lest he will be attached to the one, and neglect the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.
14 Inge i Mafarisayo naeaeze aloilwe impia aiigulye nanso ehi ekamumela.
And the pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things; and derided Him.
15 Hange wikaaela, “Unye nyenye nemikulya kutai ntongeela aantu, kuite Itunda uilengile inkolo yanyu. Kunso nelekuigwe kuantu iziibe ndongela ang'wi Tunda.
And He said unto them, Ye justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is 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 continued until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presseth into it.
17 Kuite itotu ilunde nihe kuhegigwa kukila atauandeki nuung'wi nuilago kuula.
Though it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 Uyu nukumuleka umusungu wakwe nukutina musungu mungiza ugooye, nuyu nukumutina uyu nulekilwe numugoha nung'wenso ugooye.
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth 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, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, living voluptuously and splendidly every day.
20 Hange numuhimbe ung'wi lina lakwe Lazaro aewiikwa pawingiilo wakwe, hange aukete nkomele.
And there was a poor man named Lazarus,
21 Nung'we aukete nsula akikuta maminyangulwa nagwie mumeza amugole nuanso ata imbwa yakiza nukulampa inkomele yakwe.
who was laid at his gate full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass that the poor man died,
22 Yekatula umuhimbe nuanso nuekasha wikaholwa numalaeka sunga mukikua kang'wa Ibrahimu. Numugole nuanso wekasha wikaekwa.
and was carried by 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)
And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in 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.
And he cried out and said, Father Abraham, have pity on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented 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.
And Abraham said, Son, remember that thou receivedst thy good things in thy life-time, and likewise Lazarus his evils: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
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.”
And besides, there is a great gulf fixed between us and you; so that they, who would pass from hence to you, cannot; nor can they pass to us, who would come from thence.
27 Umugole nuanso wikalunga, “Kuulompa tata Ibrahimu, kina umutume mito lang'wa tata ane!
Then he said, Therefore I intreat thee, Father, that thou wouldst 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 brethren; that he may testify to them my misery, least they also come into this place of torment.
29 Kuite u Ibrahimu akalunga, “Akete i Musa neanyakidagu. Aleke aategelye wawo.
Abraham answered him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them:
30 Umugole nuanso wikalunga, aa tata Ibrahimu, kuite angawaile umuntu nupile kuashi akuungama.
and he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Kuite u Ibrahimu wikamuila, “Angaaleke kuategelya u Musa nianyakidagu shanga akumija ataumuntu nuiukile kuashi.
And he replied, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should rise from the dead.
