Lukaj 16
1 A PIL kotin majani on tounpadak kan: Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a jaunkoa men indandeki, a peitlakit a koa kapwa kan.
AND he spake a parable to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a house-chief; and he was accused to him that his substance he wasted.
2 I ari eker don i indan i: Iaduen ai ronadar duen koe? Kaineneta noum kijin likau duen om dodok! Pwe koe jolar kak jaunkoa.
And his lord called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give me the account of thy house-headship; for thou canst no longer be house-chief unto me.
3 Jaunkoa ap madamadaua indada: Da me i en wia, pwe ai monjap pan ki jan ia ai koa, nan I jota kak weweir, a poekipoeki me i namenokki.
And the house-chief said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the house-headship. I cannot dig, and to beg I am ashamed.
4 I ap ajada, me i pan wia, i lao japwilidi jan ai koa, pwe irail en kajamo ia Ion on nan im ar akan.
I know what I will do, that when I shall be put out of the house-headship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 I ari ekeredo me pwaipwand on a monjap, ap idok ren men maj: Da me om pwaipwand on ai monjap?
And he called one by one from the debtors of his lord, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 A inda: Potel en le epuki. A indai on i: Ale noum puk mondi pitipit intiniedi me limeijok!
And he said to him, An hundred metres of oil. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down quickly, and write fifty metres.
7 Ap pil indai on amen: A koe, da me om pwaipwand? A inda: Kopa en wan korn epuki. A indan i: Ale noum puk intiniedi me waleijok!
And he said to another, And thou, how much owest thou to my lord? He saith to him, An hundred kureen of wheat. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down, write eighty kureen.
8 Monjap ap kapina jaunkoa japun, pweki a dodok lolekon. Pwe jeri en jappa kan me lolekon ni jon ar jan jeri en marain akan. (aiōn g165)
And praised our Lord the house-chief who was unjust, in that he had done wisely; for the sons of this world are wiser than the sons of light in this their generation. (aiōn g165)
9 I ap indai on komail, komail wia kompoke pamail ki mamon japun pwe komail lao jama malar, ren kajamolon on nan deu potopot. (aiōnios g166)
Also I say unto you, Make to you friends from this wealth of unrighteousness, that, when perfect, they may receive you into the tabernacles of eternity. (aiōnios g166)
10 Meamen apwali mau me tikitik o, nan i me pil kin apwali mau me lapalap. A me kin japun ni me tikitik o, nan i me pil japun ni me toto.
Whoever in the little is faithful, in the great also is faithful; and he who in the little is unjust, in the great also is unjust.
11 Ma komail jota apwali mau ai pali pa, ij me pan liki on omail pai pali poa?
If, therefore, in the wealth of unrighteousness you have not been faithful, the truth to you who will confide?
12 O ma komail jota apwali mau en amen a kapwa, ij me pan liki on komail me udan omail?
And if in that which is not yours you are not found faithful, your own who will give to you?
13 Jota ladu men me pan kak papa jaumaj riamen; pwe a pan kailonki amen o pok on me teio. De kajampwaleki amen o mama leki me teio. Komail jota pan kak pariai pena Kot o mamon.
No man can serve two lords; for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or the one he will honour, and the other despise. You cannot serve Aloha and wealth.
14 Pari jar akan, me kin pok on moni, pil ronadar mepukat, ap kaurureki i.
But the Pharishee, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.
15 A kotin majani on irail: Nan komail me kin akapunki pein komail ren aramaj, a Kot kin mani nan monion omail. Pwe me kajampwal ren aramaj, kin me mal ren Kot.
But Jeshu said to them, You are they who justify yourselves before the sons of men; but Aloha knoweth your hearts. For, what is exalted among men, before Aloha is abominable.
16 Kapun o jaukop akan kokoper lel ni muein Ioanej. A jan ni anjau o ronamau en wein Kot kin lolok jili, a karoj kin pedelonki manaman.
The law and the prophets were until Juchanon; from thenceforth the kingdom of Aloha is preached, and every one presseth to enter.
17 Nan me monai, lan o jappa pan jorela, jan ekij kijan kapun en lokidokila.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than one letter from the law to pass away.
18 Meamen kajela a paud, ap paudeki amen li, nan i me kamal, o meamen me paudekida me lokidokila jan ren ol amen, nan i me kamal.
Every one who looseth his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and every one who taketh the dismissed, committeth adultery.
19 Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a likau waitata o materok o a kin kamadip o peren ni ran karoj.
NOW there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in byssos and purple, and every day feasted gaily.
20 O pil amen ol me jamama, ad a Lajaruj, me kin wonon pan wanim en ol kapwapwa o; a kenjela kili karoj.
And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Loózar; and he lay at the gate of him who was rich, bruised with wounds,
21 Ap men tunole maremor akan, me kin pupedi ni tepel en me kapwapwa; a kidi kan kin tamotamo a kenj akan.
and desired to fill his belly with the crumbs which fell from the table of that rich. And also the dogs came and licked his wounds.
22 A kadekadeo me jamama o mela o tounlan kai ap wadala pon kapa en Apraam. A me kapwapwa o pil mela o jaredier.
Now that poor man died, and angels conducted him to the bosom of Abraham: but that rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Ni a mi nan pweleko, wajan waiwairok, ap jarada, udial Apraam ni waja doo o Lajaruj mondi pon kapa, (Hadēs g86)
And, tormented in shiul, he lifted up his eyes afar, and seeth Abraham, and Loózar in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ap likwirda indada: Jam (ai) Apraam, kom kotin kupura ia, poronedo Lajaruj en kaduedi jondin pa a nan pil, ki on pon lo i, pwe i kin waiwairok nani iai wet.
And he cried with a high voice, and said, My father Abraham, have compassion upon me, and send Loózar, that he may dip the top of his finger in waters, and moisten my tongue; for, behold, I am tormented in this flame.
25 A Apraam kotin majani: Nai, tamanda, me koe tunoler om mau kan karoj ni maur om, a Lajaruj a me jued akan; ari a pan pereperenta, a koe pan kalokolok.
Abraham said to him, My son, remember that thou didst receive thy goods in thy life, and Loózar his evils, and now, behold, he reposeth here, and thou art tormented.
26 A pil eu me kawela, wau kalaimun eu mi nan pun atail, pwe ma amen kit men japale won re omail, a jota pan kak, pil jota amen komail pan kakedo.
And with all these, there is a great void set between us and you, that they who would pass from hence unto you are not able, nor they also who would pass from thence to us.
27 A ap inda: I ap men poeki, jam ai, komui en kotin poronelan Lajaruj nan im en jam ai.
He said to him, I pray thee, then, my father, to send him unto my father's house:
28 Pwe ri ai ol me limen, me a pan kaajaki irail; pwe ren de lel on waja apwal wet!
for five brethren have I; let him go and testify unto them, that they also come not to this place of torment.
29 A Apraam majani on i: Mojej o jaukop akan mi re’rail, ren nok ron irail.
Abraham said to him, They have Musha and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 A ol o potoan on: Kaidin jam (ai) Apraam, a ma amen jan ren me melar akan pan pwara don irail, rap pan kalula.
But he said to him, No, my father Abraham, but if one from the dead shall go unto them, they repent.
31 A ap majani on i: Ma re jota pan ron Mojej o jaukop akan, re pil jota pan pojon la, ma amen pan maureda jan ren me melar akan.
Abraham saith to him, If Musha and the prophets they hear not, neither, if one from the dead should rise, would they believe him.
