Luka 16
1 Antele abhabholele asambelezwe bhakwe, “Pali no mntu omo alitakiri alino wakili wakwe, ono atakwilwe hwamwahale anankanya eshoma shakwe.
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 Wakwizya wabhola, “Nongwa wele ezi zyehwovwa juu ya hwiliwe? Fumia ehesabu eye owakili waho afwanaje sowezizye abhe wakili nantele.'
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 Ola owakili wayanga mumwoyo gwa kwao, Embombe wele, nkashere ogosi wane anefwa ouwakili? Alime sebwezizye alabhe, elola esoni.
“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 Endimenye lyembabhombe ili nabhanefwe huwakili bhankaribizyaje mkhaya zyabho.
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
5 Wabhakwizya bhabhakhopile amadeni aga gosi wakwe shila omo wabhora owhwande, 'odayiwa nogosi 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 Wayanga eshipimo mia eshe mafuta wabhora 'ege ehati yaho simba hamsini.'
He said, ‘One hundred batos [800 Gal; 3,028 L] of oil.’ ‘Take your note back,’ he told him. ‘Now, quickly! Sit down and write one for fifty [400 Gal; 1,514 L]!’
7 antele wabhora owamwaho na we odaiwa?' wayanga 'makanda mia age ngano wabhoro ega ehati yaho simba themanini.'
Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘One thousand bushels of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your note back and write one for eight hundred.’
8 Ola gosi wasomba owakili dhalimu shashila shabhombile hubusara. Afwanaje abhana abhensi ene katika epapo yabho bhebho bhabha ne busara ashile abhana abhe lukhozyo. (aiōn g165)
“His lord commended the sinful ·legal injustice that misses the mark and is without share in the goal· 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 Nane embabhola bhombelaji abhe rafiki weshoma eshe udhalimu ili nehaibhanemo bhabhakaribizyaje hukhaya eye umilele. (aiōnios g166)
I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of sinful ·legal injustice that misses the mark and is without share in the goal· mammon ·wealth·, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (aiōnios g166)
10 Yali mwamini lyalili lidodo tee abhamwamini hwi gosi nantele. na yali dhalimu hwidolo abhabhe dhalimu hata hwigosi nantele.
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 Basi nkashile amwe semwali bhaminifu hushoma eshe udhalimu wenu wabhapele amana eshoma eshelyoli?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the trecherous mammon ·wealth·, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 Na nkashile semwali bhaminifu hushoma esha mntu owenje wenu yabhabhapele yeli yahulimwe mwemwe?
If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
13 Nomo obhombambo yabhabhambele agosi bhabhele, afwanaje abhahuvitwe ono nahusongwe ono, au abhakhatane nono na hudhalau ono. Sawezizye hutumishile Ongolobhe ne shoma.”
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and show agapao ·total devotion love· to the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and Mammon ·Wealth·.”
14 Basi Mafarisayo, abhene bhebho bhasogwa ehela bhahovwezye ago gonti bha dhihaki.
The Pharisees [Separated], who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15 Wabhabhola, “Mwe mwemwe mhwidai elyoli hwitagalila elya bhantu, lelo Ongolobhe abhamenye amoyo genyu afwanaje lyalisobwa hwa bhanadamu uhuvisya hwitagalila elya Ngolobhe.
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 Etorati na kuwa vyahali mpaka Yohani afume. Ouwakati wowo enongwa enyinza ezye umwene owa Ngolobhe zitangaziwa, na shila mntu ahwiyinjizya humaha.
The Torah ·Teaching· and the Prophets were until John [Yah is gracious]. Since then the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17 Lelo nafu zaidi emwanya nensi vyepe ashile aje etanguliwe enukta emo eye torati.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Torah ·Teaching· become void.
18 Shila yahuleha oshe wakwe na humweje oshe owenje azini wape yahumwega yalehwilye nolume wakwe anazini.
Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another moicheuo ·commits adultery·. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband moicheuo ·commits adultery·.
19 Pali ono mntu takili akwete nu menda ege rangi ye zambarau na kitani nyinza na lye ensiku zyonti kwa anasa.
“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 No pena omo itawa lyakwe yo Lazaro abhehwelya palyango gwakwe ali na malonda gaminji.
A certain beggar, named Lazarus [Help of God], was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 Wape ali akitamani akutiziwe amambo gagalagaliye pameza eyola otakiri hata embwa zyeza zya guna amaronda gakwe.
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 Yabha ola opena wagwa wegwano malaika paka pashifiwa esha Ibulahimu ola otakiri wape wafwa wa syelwa.
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Basi ohula huzimu abhosezye amaso gakwe nali pamarabha walola Ibulahimu sahutari no Lazaro pashifua shakwe. (Hadēs g86)
In Hades / Sh'ol ·Place of the dead·, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham [Father of a multitude] far off, and Lazarus [Help of God] at Abraham's bosom, (the righteous side of Sheol). (Hadēs g86)
24 Walila wayanga, 'Ee baba Ibulahimu, sajire osontezye oLazaro atobhezye echa eye shidole shakwe mmenze, aluburudishe omele lwane; afwanaje elabha mu mwoto omu.
He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham [Father of a multitude], have mercy on me, and send Lazarus [Help of God], that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
25 Ibulahimu wayanga, 'Mwanawane kumbuhaga eyaje awe waposheye amambo aminza gahuliwe katika amaisha gaho, no Lozaro shesho apete amabhibhi na eshi omwahale aliepa afarijiwa na awe ovwalala.
“But Abraham [Father of a multitude] said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus [Help of God], in the same way, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
26 Na zaidi yego kati yetu ate na mwe libhehwelwe irende igosi, ili bhala bhabhafuma ohwo abhale hwilimwe bhagajeshile wala abhantu abhahwilimwe bhagaje shile ahwenze hwititi.'
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 Wayanga, 'Basi Baba ehulabha, osontezye akhaya hwa baba wane
“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, Abba father, that you would send him to 'Avi ·my Father·’s house;
28 afwanaje endi na holo bhasanu ili abhashudile bhasije bhape nantele bhafihe mahali epa pamalabha. '
for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
29 Ibulahimu wayanga, 'Bhalinabho oMusa na kuwa. Na bhabhovwe ebho.
“But Abraham [Father of a multitude] said to him, ‘They have Moses [Drawn out] and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30 Wayanga, 'la, Baba Ibrahimu, lelo nkashile abhabhabhalile omntu yafuma hwa bhafwa bhanzarambe.'
“He said, ‘No, Abba father Abraham [Father of a multitude], but if one goes to them from the dead, they will make teshuvah ·complete repentance·.’
31 Wabhola nkashele sebhabhowa aMusa nu kuwa sebhanzashawishiwe hata omntu nkashile azyoshe afume wabhafwe.
“He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses [Drawn out] and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
