Ruku 16
1 Jisasi'a, mago'ene amage nentaza disaipol naga'amokizmi anage huno fronka kea zamasmi'ne, Magora afufenone ne'mo'a, fenoma'are ugagota huno kva nehia eri'za ne'mo, fenoma'a eri havia hu'nea nanekea,
[Jesus] also said to his disciples, “Once there was a rich man who had a household manager. [One day] he was told {[someone] told him} that [the manager] was managing the rich man’s money badly.
2 nentahino ugagota eri'za ne'a agi higeno egeno, na'a hu'nana naneke antahi'noe? Mafka eri'zama eri'nana avontafe ka'a erinka enka eme erifatgo huo. Na'ankure kagra mago'ene ugagota kva omanigahane huno higeno,
So he summoned [his manager] and said to him, ‘(It is terrible what they are saying about you [(sg)]!/Is it true what they are saying about you [(sg)] [RHQ]?) Give me a written account of [the funds] you have been managing, because you can no longer be my [household] manager!’
3 ana ugagota eri'za kva ne'mo'a amanahu ke agra'a agu'afina antahi'ne, na'a nagra hugahue. Kva ni'amo'a eri'za ni'a eri atreanki? Nagrira hoza eri hanaveni'a omnegahiankina vaheku nzahuo huzankura nagaze hugahie huno nehuno,
Then the manager thought to himself, ‘My master is going to fire me, so (I do not know what to do./what shall I do [RHQ]?) I am not strong enough to [work by] digging ditches, and I am ashamed to beg [for money].’
4 Nagra naza hugahue hago antahue, ugagotahu kva eri'za'niafinti hunante'na, vahe'mo'za muse hunante'za navare'za nozmifi ome nantegahaze.
[Suddenly he had an idea]. ‘I know what I will do, so that people will take me into their houses [and provide for me] after I am dismissed {after my master dismisses me} from my work!’
5 Nehuno ozafa'amofo zama nofi huno eri'nea vahe, mago mago ke higeza ageno, ese'ma emofo agra anage huno antahige'ne, nama'a ozafa'nimofo'zana nofira hunka eri'nane?
So [one by one] he summoned the people who owed his master money. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you [(sg)] owe my master?’
6 Higeno ana ne'mo'a anage hu'ne, 100'a Olivi masaventafe eri'noe higeno, ana fenonte ugagota hu'nea kva ne'mo anage hu'ne, ame hunka mopafi maninka avontafeka'a erinka 50'a masaventafene hunka avona krento huno asami'ne.
The man replied, ‘Eight hundred gallons of olive oil.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill and sit down and quickly change it to 400 [gallons]!’
7 Anante rumo egeno ana ugagota kva eri'za ne'mo antahige'ne, Nama'a kagra nofira hu'nane? Higeno ana ne'mo'a 100'a witigure higeno, ugagota eri'za kva nemo'a huno avon tafe erinka 80'a witigure hunka avona krento hu'ne.
He said to another man, ‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A thousand bushels of wheat.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill and change it to 800 [bushels]!’ [He did similar things for the others who owed his master money].
8 Henka kva ne'mo'a, fenozante ugagota huno kvahu so'e osu'nea kva ne' muse hunte'ne. Na'ankure antahiza me'nea kva vahemo nehiaza hu'negure. Hagi ama knafi havizama nehaza vahe'mo'za zamagra zantera knare hu'za kva nehu'za, tavi masare'ma nemaniza vahera zamagateneraze. (aiōn g165)
When his master [heard what the manager had done], he admired the dishonest manager for the clever thing he had done. [The truth] is that the ungodly people in this world act more wisely toward other people than godly people [MET] act. (aiōn g165)
9 Amanage hu'na Nagra neramasmue, fenoma erinka ama mopafi fatgo osu'zante'ma netrana zana, netrenka ana zanteti vahera zamazeri knampa huzmante'negeno, ana fenoma vagama resige'za, muse hu'za kavare'za mani vava nonkuma zamirega vugahaze. (aiōnios g166)
[So] I tell you [(pl)] this: Use the money that you have [here] on earth to help others so that they will become your friends. Then when [you die and] you cannot [take] any money with you, [God and his angels] will welcome you into a home [in heaven] that will last forever. (aiōnios g166)
10 Mago'mo'ma osi'zantema so'e huno kegavahu fatgo hanimo'a, anahu kna huno ra zana kegavahu fatgo hugahie. Hagi osi'zama kegavahu fatgo osanimo'a, ra zana kegavahu fatgo osugahie.
People who faithfully manage small [matters] will also faithfully manage important [matters]. People who are dishonest in [the way they handle] small [matters] will be dishonest [in the way they handle] important [matters].
11 Kagrama ama mopafi fenozama kegavahu fatgo osnankeno'a, iza tamage fenoma kvama kri'zana kamigahie?
So if you have not faithfully handled the money that [God has given you here] on earth, (he will certainly not allow you to possess the true [spiritual] riches [in heaven!]/would he allow you to possess the true [spiritual] riches [in heaven]?) [RHQ]
12 Kagrama vahe'zama kegava huhaviza hanankeno'a, kagri'zana iza kamigahie.
And if you have not faithfully managed things that belong to other people, ([God] will certainly not allow you to receive [treasures in heaven that] would belong to you!/would God allow you to receive [treasures in heaven that] would belong to you?) [RHQ]
13 Mago eri'za ne'mo'a tare ozafarera eri'zana e'origahie. Mago'mofona antahi haviza hunenteno, mago'mofona avesi antegahie. Huge mago'mo'ene mani tragoneteno, mago'mofona atregahie. Kagra Anumzante ene zagorera eri'zana eriontegahane.
No servant is able to serve two [different] bosses [at the same time. If he tried to do that], he would prefer one of them more than the other one; he would be loyal to one of them and despise the other one. [Similarly], you cannot [devote your life] to worshipping God and [worshipping] money and material goods [at the same time].”
14 Farisi vahe'mo'za ana maka ke nentahi'za, (zagogu zamesi zamesi nehaza naga'mo'za) agiza nere'za, hupri hunte'naze.
There were some Pharisees [there]. They loved [to acquire] money. When they heard Jesus say that, they ridiculed him.
15 Hu'neanagi Jisasi'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Vahe'mofo zamavurera tamagra fatgo vahere hutma nehazanagi, Anumzamo'a tamagu'a ke'ne. Na'ankure vahe'mo'zama knarezantfa me'ne nehaza'zamo'a, Anumzamofo avufina havizantfa me'ne.
But he said to them, “You try to make other people think that you are righteous, but God knows your (inner beings/hearts). [So he will reject you. Keep in mind that many] things that people think are important, God thinks are detestable.
16 Mosese kasegene, kasnampa vahe'mofo kea huama huno Joni knare eme atre'ne. Hagi ananteti'ma e'neana Anumzamofo kumamofo musenke huama nehigeno, hakare vahe'mo'za hanaveti'za ana kumapi vanagura kazigazi hu'za nevaze.
The laws that [God gave Moses] and what the prophets [MTY] [wrote] were ([in effect/what you needed to obey]) until John [the Baptizer] came. Since then [I] have been preaching about how God wants to [rule people’s lives in a new way], and many people are [accepting that message and] very eagerly asking God to control [their lives. But that does not mean that God has abolished the laws that he established previously].
17 Hu'neanagi amane fru huno monane, mopanena fanane hugahianagi, kasege kefima me'nea osi avomo'a vaga oregahie.
[All of God’s] laws, [even those that seem] insignificant, are more permanent than heaven and earth.
18 Iza'o a'ma netreno ru a'ma erinuno'a, anamo'a monko'za hugahie. Hagi mago ne'mo'ma, ve'a atre'nesi'a a' erisanimo'a, monkoza hugahie huno hu'ne.
[For example, because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery. He also [considers that] any man who marries a woman who has been divorced by her husband {whose husband has divorced her} is [also] committing adultery.”
19 Jisasi'a amanage hu'ne, Mago ne'mo afufenoma'a hakare me'negeno tusi'a zago atreno, koranke kukena nehuno, asanema nehia ne'za knane knane erino neneno, so'e huno mani'ne.
[Jesus also said] [MET], “Once there was a rich man who wore [expensive] purple linen [garments]. He ate luxuriously every day.
20 Ana nehigeno noma'a kasante mago nera fenoma'a omane'nea fugo namune ne' antazageno manitere nehiane. Ana ne'mofo agi'a Lasarusi'e.
And every day a poor man whose name was Lazarus was laid {[some people also] laid a poor man whose name was Lazarus} at the gate of the rich man’s [house]. Lazarus’ body was covered with sores.
21 Lasarusi'a maseno mani'neno, feno ne'mo'ma ne'za nenesigeno ankra heramisiama'a erina nesue huno nehuno emani'negeza, kramo'za namuma'areti zamaganefu'nanu hu'ne hane hu'naze.
He [was so hungry that he] wanted to eat the scraps [of food] that fell from the table where the rich man [ate]. Furthermore, [to make things worse], dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Anante amunte omane nera frige'za, ankero vahe'mo'za eri'za Abrahamu nemania kumate vu'naze. Vutageno afufeno nera anante frige'za eri'za ome asentageno,
[Eventually] the poor man died. Then he was taken by the angels {the angels took him} to [start feasting] next to his [ancestor] Abraham. The rich man also died, and his body was buried {[some people] buried his body}.
23 hagi tevefi manineno tusiza huno ata negrigeno kenagamuteno Abrahamuke Lasarusikea, afete magopi mani'nakeno zanage'ne. (Hadēs g86)
In the place where dead people wait [for God to judge them], he was suffering great pain. He looked up and saw Abraham far away, and he saw Lazarus sitting close to Abraham. (Hadēs g86)
24 Neznageno kezatino, Abrahamuga nafa'nimoka teve nenrege'na natagu nehuanki kasuntagi nantenka, Lasarusina huntegeno timpi azanko agona'a reteno nagefu'nare eme rentenkeno fru hunanteno hu'ne.
So he shouted, ‘Father Abraham, I am suffering very much in this fire! So [please] pity me, and send Lazarus [here] so that he can dip his finger in water [and touch] my tongue to cool it!’
25 Abrahamu'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Mofavre'moka kagesa antahio. Mopafi mani'nenka knare zampi mani'nankeno Lasarusi'a haviza huno mani'ne. Hu'neanagi menina Lasarusi'a fruzampi emani'negenka kagra kata zampi mani'nane.
But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that while you [(sg)] were alive [on earth] you enjoyed [many] good things. But Lazarus was miserable. Now [it is fair that] he is happy here, and you are suffering.
26 Hanki mago'zana amanahu kna'za me'ne. Tamagri'ene tagri'ene amu'nompina tusi'a tinka me'negeno, hagro hu'neankita tamagritegama takaheta vu'zanku'ene tagritega ezankura tusi'a amuho hurantegahie.
Besides that, there is a huge ravine between you [(sg)] and us. So those who want to go from here to where you [(sg)] are, are not able to. Furthermore, no one can cross from there to where we [(exc)] are.’
27 Anante anage higeno, afufenone ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne. Nafa'nimoka Abrahamuga muse hugantoanki Lasarusina huntegeno nenfa nontega vino,
Then the rich man said, ‘If that is so, father [Abraham], I ask you [(sg)] to send [Lazarus] to my father’s house.
28 na'ankure nafa'nimofo nompina 5fu'a nafuhe'ina zamatre'na e'noanki, Lasarusina huntegeno hanave'nentake kore ke ome huzmasamisige'za tusi'a ata eri kumapina omeho hu'ne.
I have five brothers [who live there]. Tell him to warn them [to turn away from their sinful behavior so that] they do not also come to this place, where [we(exc)] suffer great pain!’
29 Hu'neanagi Abrahamu'a kenona huno, Moses nanekene kasnampa vahe'mokizmi nanekea me'neanki'za zamagra ana nanekea antahigahaze.
But Abraham replied, ‘[No, I will not do that, because your brothers] are able to [go to the Jewish meeting places where the priests] read what Moses and the prophets [wrote]. They should listen to what Moses and the prophets [MTY] [wrote]!’
30 Ana hianagi afufenoma'ane ne'mo'a anage hu'ne, a'o nafa'nimoke higeno, Abrahamu'a anage hu'ne, frinefinti otino ome zamasamisiana zamagu'a rukrahera hugahazo!
But the rich man replied, ‘No, father Abraham, [that will not be enough] But if someone from those who have died goes back to them [and warns them], they will turn from their sinful behavior.’
31 Anage hianangi Abrahamu amanage huno asami'ne, I'o. Moses nanekene, kasnampa vahe'mokizmi nanekema nontahisu'za, inankna hu'za fripinti otino ome zamasami'nia kerera zamagu'a rukrehe hugahaze huno hu'ne.
[Abraham] said to him, ‘No! If they do not listen to [what] [MTY] Moses and the prophets [MTY] [wrote], even if someone would become alive again [and go and warn them], they would not be convinced {he could not convince them} [that they should turn from their sinful behavior].’”
