Lioka 16
1 Tinovo’e ty hoe amo mpiama’eo: Teo ty mpañaleale nitalilieñe te nandritse ty vara’e ty mpamandro-panaña’e.
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 Aa le kinanji’e naho nanoa’e ty hoe: Akore ze o tsinanoko ty ama’o zao? Volilio o famandroña’oo, fa tsy ho mpamandroñe ka.
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 Le hoe ty fitsakorea’ i mpamandroñey: Inom-barè ty hanoeko kanao hafaha’ i talekoy amy famandroñakoy? Tsy lefeko ty miava, naho manalats’ ahy ty mangatake.
“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 Inao arè ty hanoeko, soa te, ie navìk’ ami’ty maha mpamandroñe ahy, le mbe ho rambese’ iereo añ’ anjomba ao.
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
5 Aa le songa kinanji’e homb’ama’e ze nisongo amy talè’ey, le hoe ty asa’e amy valoha’ey: Fire ty songo’o amy talèko?
Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
6 Le hoe re: Solike zato fañaranañe. Le hoe re ama’e: Masika! rambeso o takelan-tsongo’oo le miambesara, sokiro ty hoe: limampolo.
He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
7 Le hoe ka re ami’ty raike: Fire ty songo’o? le hoe re: Ampemba zato gony. Hoe ka ty asa’e: Ingo, rambeso o takela’oo, le valom-polo ty isorata’o.
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 Aa le rinenge’ i bei’ey i mpamandroñe tsy jefa’ey, amy t’ie nampiboake hilala; toe mahilala amy tarira’ey o ana’ ty voatse toio te amo anan-kazavañeo. (aiōn g165)
“His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 Le hoe iraho ama’ areo: Paiao rañetse arè amo vara tsy vokatseo, soa te ie milesa, ro mbe ho rambeseñe amo anjomba nainai’eo amy hamodoañey. (aiōnios g166)
I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (aiōnios g166)
10 Ze vañom-po ami’ty kede, ho vañom-po ami’ty bey; ze tsy to ami’ty kede tsy ho to ami’ty bey.
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 Aa naho tsy malili-po amo vara tsy vokatseo nahareo, ia ty hampamandroñe anahareo o vente’eo.
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 Le ie tsy vañoñe ami’ty vara’ ondaty, ia ty hanolots’ anahareo ty anahareo?
If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
13 Tsy eo ty mpitoroñe maha-fitoron-droe; ho heje’e ty raike vaho hikokoa’e ty raike; ke ho rañete’e ty raike vaho ho rihie’e ty raike. Tsy mahafitoroñe an’ Andrianañahare naho o varao nahareo.
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 aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
14 Ie nahajanjiñe i hoe zay o Fariseoo, kanao mpitea-drala, le nikizak’ aze.
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15 Aa hoe ty nanoa’e: Mpaniom-batañe am’ ondatio nahareo; fe arofoanan’ Añahare ty arofo’ areo, amy te ze atao’ ondatio ho vara ro tiva am-pivazohoan’ Añahare.
He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Pak’ amy Jaona naho o Mpitokio t’i Hake; namototse henane zay le tseizeñe i Fifehean’Añaharey, vaho fonga mifanisike hizilik’ ao;
“The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17 haivañe ty hihelaña’ i likerañey naho ty tane toy ta ty hamaohañe ndra ty pininìten-tsokitse amy Hake ao.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
18 Ze mañary valy hañenga ty hafa ro mañarapilo; vaho mañarapilo ka ty mañenga rakemba narian-dahy.
“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 Teo ty mpañaleale, mpisaron-tsarimbo malò-mavo naho leny matify, niaiñañoleñañe an-kafalefaleañe handro an-kandro.
“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 Teo ka ty rarake atao Lazarosy, atseke bae, nakonenak’ añ’ila’ ty lalambei’e eo,
A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
21 le naina’e te hitsimoke ty nifitafita am-pandambaña’ i mpañalealey, te mone o amboao ro nomb’ ama’e nitsela o bae’eo.
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 Ie nihomake i rarakey, le nente’ ty anjely mb’añ’araña’ i Abraàme añe; nihomake ka i mpañalealey, le nalenteke.
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
23 Ie nanoen-tsamporerak’ an-tanen-dolo ao i mpañalealey le niandra vaho nahatalake i Abraàme rekets’ i Lazarosy añ’araña’e eo, (Hadēs g86)
In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 vaho nikoiha’e ty hoe: O aba, Abraàme, tretrezo, ehe ampihitrifo t’i Lazarosy handò ty lengon-drambo-pità’e an-drano hampanintsiñe ty lelako; fa loho malovilovy iraho añ’afo mirebareba atoy.
He cried 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 Fa hoe ty natoi’ i Abraàme: O anake, tiahio te hene niazo’o o raha fanjakao ihe mbe niveloñe, fa raty ka ty niazo’ i Lazarosy; ohoñen-dre henaneo te ihe malovilovy.
“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
26 Likoare’ i hoe zay, najadoñe añivon-tikañ’ ey ty herakerake jabajaba tsy lefe ty atoy tsaheñe mb’ama’areo ao vaho tsy hahatsake mb’ama’ay mb’etoy ka ty boak’ ey.
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 no one may cross over from there to us.’
27 Le hoe re: Aa naho izay ry raeko, mihalaly ama’o: ampihitrifo mb’ añ’ anjomban-draeko mb’eo,
“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
28 fa lime ty rahalahiko hitaroñañe, tsy mone ho avy am-peh’ ohatse atoy.
for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
29 Aa hoe t’i Abraàme tama’e: Am’ iareo t’i Mosè naho o Mpitokio; ampitsendreño.
“But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30 Le hoe ka re: Aiy! ry aba Abraàme; fa naho mb’ am’ iereo mb’eo ty mivañom-beloñe, le tsi-mete tsy hisoloho.
“He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31 Hoe re tama’e: Naho tsy haoñe’ iereo t’i Mosè naho o Mpitokio, le tsy hahafiato ka ndra te eo ty mivañom-beloñe boak’ an-kavilasiy.
“He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
