Luka 16
1 Yesu akawaambia wanafunzi wake, “Palikuwa na tajiri mmoja na msimamizi wake. Ilisemekana kwamba huyo msimamizi alikuwa anatumia vibaya mali ya tajiri yake.
Ἔλεγεν δὲ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητάς· ἄνθρωπός τις ἦν πλούσιος ὃς εἶχεν οἰκονόμον, καὶ οὗτος διεβλήθη αὐτῷ ὡς διασκορπίζων τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ.
2 Hivyo huyo tajiri akamwita na kumuuliza, ‘Ni mambo gani haya ninayoyasikia kukuhusu? Toa taarifa ya usimamizi wako, kwa sababu huwezi kuendelea kuwa msimamizi.’
καὶ φωνήσας αὐτὸν εἶπεν αὐτῷ· τί τοῦτο ἀκούω περὶ σοῦ; ἀπόδος τὸν λόγον τῆς οἰκονομίας σου· οὐ γὰρ δύνῃ ἔτι οἰκονομεῖν.
3 “Yule msimamizi akawaza moyoni mwake, ‘Nitafanya nini sasa? Bwana wangu ananiondoa katika kazi yangu. Sina nguvu za kulima, nami ninaona aibu kuombaomba.
εἶπεν δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὁ οἰκονόμος· τί ποιήσω, ὅτι ὁ κύριός μου ἀφαιρεῖται τὴν οἰκονομίαν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ; σκάπτειν οὐκ ἰσχύω, ἐπαιτεῖν αἰσχύνομαι.
4 Najua nitakalofanya ili nikiachishwa kazi yangu hapa, watu wanikaribishe nyumbani kwao.’
ἔγνων τί ποιήσω, ἵνα ὅταν μετασταθῶ ἐκ τῆς οἰκονομίας δέξωνταί με εἰς τοὺς οἴκους ἑαυτῶν.
5 “Kwa hiyo akawaita wadeni wote wa bwana wake, mmoja mmoja. Akamuuliza wa kwanza, ‘Deni lako kwa bwana wangu ni kiasi gani?’
καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος ἕνα ἕκαστον τῶν χρεοφειλετῶν τοῦ κυρίου ἑαυτοῦ ἔλεγεν τῷ πρώτῳ· πόσον ὀφείλεις τῷ κυρίῳ μου;
6 “Akajibu, ‘Galoni 800za mafuta ya mizeituni.’ “Msimamizi akamwambia, ‘Chukua hati ya deni lako, ibadilishe upesi, uandike galoni 400.’
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ἑκατὸν βάτους ἐλαίου. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· δέξαι σου τὰ γράμματα καὶ καθίσας ταχέως γράψον πεντήκοντα.
7 “Kisha akamuuliza wa pili, ‘Wewe deni lako ni kiasi gani?’ “Akajibu, ‘Vipimo 1,000vya ngano.’ “Yule msimamizi akamwambia, ‘Chukua hati yako, andika vipimo 800!’
ἔπειτα ἑτέρῳ εἶπεν· σὺ δὲ πόσον ὀφείλεις; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ἑκατὸν κόρους σίτου. λέγει αὐτῷ· δέξαι σου τὰ γράμματα καὶ γράψον ὀγδοήκοντα.
8 “Yule bwana akamsifu yule msimamizi dhalimu kwa jinsi alivyotumia ujanja. Kwa maana watu wa dunia hii wana ujanja zaidi wanapojishughulisha na mambo ya dunia kuliko watu wa nuru. (aiōn g165)
καὶ ἐπῄνεσεν ὁ κύριος τὸν οἰκονόμον τῆς ἀδικίας ὅτι φρονίμως ἐποίησεν· ὅτι οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου φρονιμώτεροι ὑπὲρ τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ φωτὸς εἰς τὴν γενεὰν τὴν ἑαυτῶν εἰσίν. (aiōn g165)
9 Nawaambia, tumieni mali ya kidunia kujipatia marafiki, ili itakapokwisha, mkaribishwe katika makao ya milele. (aiōnios g166)
καὶ ἐγὼ ὑμῖν λέγω, ἑαυτοῖς ποιήσατε φίλους ἐκ τοῦ μαμωνᾶ τῆς ἀδικίας, ἵνα ὅταν ἐκλίπῃ δέξωνται ὑμᾶς εἰς τὰς αἰωνίους σκηνάς. (aiōnios g166)
10 “Yeyote aliye mwaminifu katika mambo madogo, pia ni mwaminifu hata katika mambo makubwa, naye mtu ambaye si mwaminifu katika mambo madogo pia si mwaminifu katika mambo makubwa.
ὁ πιστὸς ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ καὶ ἐν πολλῷ πιστός ἐστιν, καὶ ὁ ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ ἄδικος καὶ ἐν πολλῷ ἄδικός ἐστιν.
11 Ikiwa hamkuwa waaminifu katika mali ya kidunia, ni nani atakayewaaminia mali ya kweli?
εἰ οὖν ἐν τῷ ἀδίκῳ μαμωνᾷ πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε, τὸ ἀληθινὸν τίς ὑμῖν πιστεύσει;
12 Nanyi kama hamkuwa waaminifu na mali ya mtu mwingine, ni nani atakayewapa iliyo yenu wenyewe?
καὶ εἰ ἐν τῷ ἀλλοτρίῳ πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε, τὸ ὑμέτερον τίς δώσει ὑμῖν;
13 “Hakuna mtumishi awezaye kuwatumikia mabwana wawili. Kwa kuwa atamchukia huyu na kumpenda yule mwingine, au atashikamana sana na huyu na kumdharau yule mwingine. Hamwezi kumtumikia Mungu pamoja na Mali.”
οὐδεὶς οἰκέτης δύναται δυσὶ κυρίοις δουλεύειν· ἢ γὰρ τὸν ἕνα μισήσει καὶ τὸν ἕτερον ἀγαπήσει, ἢ ἑνὸς ἀνθέξεται καὶ τοῦ ἑτέρου καταφρονήσει. οὐ δύνασθε θεῷ δουλεύειν καὶ μαμωνᾷ.
14 Mafarisayo, waliokuwa wapenda fedha, waliyasikia hayo yote na wakamcheka kwa dharau.
Ἤκουον δὲ ταῦτα πάντα οἱ Φαρισαῖοι φιλάργυροι ὑπάρχοντες, καὶ ἐξεμυκτήριζον αὐτόν.
15 Yesu akawaambia, “Ninyi mnajionyesha kuwa wenye haki mbele za wanadamu, lakini Mungu anaijua mioyo yenu. Kwa maana vile vitu ambavyo wanadamu wanavithamini sana, kwa Mungu ni machukizo.
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς ἐστε οἱ δικαιοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὁ δὲ θεὸς γινώσκει τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν· ὅτι τὸ ἐν ἀνθρώποις ὑψηλὸν βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ.
16 “Sheria na Manabii vilihubiriwa mpaka kuja kwa Yohana Mbatizaji. Tangu wakati huo habari njema za Ufalme wa Mungu zinahubiriwa, na kila mmoja hujiingiza kwa nguvu.
ὁ νόμος καὶ οἱ προφῆται μέχρι Ἰωάννου· ἀπὸ τότε ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ εὐαγγελίζεται καὶ πᾶς εἰς αὐτὴν βιάζεται.
17 Lakini ni rahisi zaidi mbingu na dunia kupita kuliko hata herufi moja kuondoka katika Sheria.
εὐκοπώτερον δέ ἐστιν τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν παρελθεῖν ἢ τοῦ νόμου μίαν κεραίαν πεσεῖν.
18 “Mtu yeyote amwachaye mkewe na kumwoa mwanamke mwingine anazini, naye mwanaume amwoaye mwanamke aliyetalikiwa anazini.
πᾶς ὁ ἀπολύων τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ γαμῶν ἑτέραν μοιχεύει, καὶ ὁ ἀπολελυμένην ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς γαμῶν μοιχεύει.
19 “Palikuwa na mtu mmoja tajiri aliyevaa nguo za rangi ya zambarau na kitani safi, ambaye aliishi kwa anasa kila siku.
Ἄνθρωπος δέ τις ἦν πλούσιος, καὶ ἐνεδιδύσκετο πορφύραν καὶ βύσσον εὐφραινόμενος καθ’ ἡμέραν λαμπρῶς.
20 Hapo penye mlango wake aliishi maskini mmoja, jina lake Lazaro, mwenye vidonda mwili mzima.
πτωχὸς δέ τις ὀνόματι Λάζαρος ἐβέβλητο πρὸς τὸν πυλῶνα αὐτοῦ εἱλκωμένος
21 Huyo Lazaro alitamani kujishibisha kwa makombo yaliyoanguka kutoka mezani kwa yule tajiri. Hata mbwa walikuwa wakija na kuramba vidonda vyake.
καὶ ἐπιθυμῶν χορτασθῆναι ἀπὸ τῶν πιπτόντων ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης τοῦ πλουσίου· ἀλλὰ καὶ οἱ κύνες ἐρχόμενοι ἐπέλειχον τὰ ἕλκη αὐτοῦ.
22 “Wakati ukafika yule maskini akafa, nao malaika wakamchukua akae pamoja na Abrahamu. Yule tajiri naye akafa na akazikwa.
ἐγένετο δὲ ἀποθανεῖν τὸν πτωχὸν καὶ ἀπενεχθῆναι αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων εἰς τὸν κόλπον Ἀβραάμ· ἀπέθανεν δὲ καὶ ὁ πλούσιος καὶ ἐτάφη.
23 Kule kuzimu alipokuwa akiteseka, alitazama juu, akamwona Abrahamu kwa mbali, naye Lazaro alikuwa karibu yake. (Hadēs g86)
καὶ ἐν τῷ ᾅδῃ ἐπάρας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, ὑπάρχων ἐν βασάνοις, ὁρᾷ Ἀβραὰμ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν καὶ Λάζαρον ἐν τοῖς κόλποις αὐτοῦ. (Hadēs g86)
24 Hivyo yule tajiri akamwita, ‘Baba Abrahamu, nihurumie na umtume Lazaro achovye ncha ya kidole chake ndani ya maji aupoze ulimi wangu, kwa sababu nina maumivu makuu kwenye moto huu.’
καὶ αὐτὸς φωνήσας εἶπεν· πάτερ Ἀβραάμ, ἐλέησόν με καὶ πέμψον Λάζαρον ἵνα βάψῃ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ δακτύλου αὐτοῦ ὕδατος καὶ καταψύξῃ τὴν γλῶσσάν μου, ὅτι ὀδυνῶμαι ἐν τῇ φλογὶ ταύτῃ.
25 “Lakini Abrahamu akamjibu, ‘Mwanangu, kumbuka kwamba wakati wa uhai wako ulipata mambo mazuri, lakini Lazaro alipata mambo mabaya. Lakini sasa anafarijiwa hapa na wewe uko katika maumivu makuu.
εἶπεν δὲ Ἀβραάμ· τέκνον, μνήσθητι ὅτι ἀπέλαβες τὰ ἀγαθά σου ἐν τῇ ζωῇ σου, καὶ Λάζαρος ὁμοίως τὰ κακά· νῦν δὲ ὧδε παρακαλεῖται, σὺ δὲ ὀδυνᾶσαι.
26 Zaidi ya hayo, kati yetu na ninyi huko kumewekwa shimo kubwa, ili wale wanaotaka kutoka huku kuja huko wasiweze, wala mtu yeyote asiweze kuvuka kutoka huko kuja kwetu.’
καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις μεταξὺ ἡμῶν καὶ ὑμῶν χάσμα μέγα ἐστήρικται, ὅπως οἱ θέλοντες διαβῆναι ἔνθεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς μὴ δύνωνται, μηδὲ οἱ ἐκεῖθεν πρὸς ἡμᾶς διαπερῶσιν.
27 “Akasema, ‘Basi, nakuomba, umtume Lazaro aende nyumbani kwa baba yangu,
εἶπεν δέ· ἐρωτῶ οὖν σε, πάτερ, ἵνα πέμψῃς αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου·
28 maana ninao ndugu watano. Awaonye, ili wasije nao wakafika mahali hapa pa mateso.’
ἔχω γὰρ πέντε ἀδελφούς, ὅπως διαμαρτύρηται αὐτοῖς, ἵνα μὴ καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔλθωσιν εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον τῆς βασάνου.
29 “Abrahamu akamjibu, ‘Ndugu zako wana Maandiko ya Mose na Manabii, wawasikilize hao.’
λέγει δὲ αὐτῷ Ἀβραάμ· ἔχουσι Μωϋσέα καὶ τοὺς προφήτας· ἀκουσάτωσαν αὐτῶν.
30 “Yule tajiri akasema, ‘Hapana, baba Abrahamu, lakini mtu kutoka kwa wafu akiwaendea, watatubu.’
ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· οὐχί, πάτερ Ἀβραάμ, ἀλλ’ ἐάν τις ἀπὸ νεκρῶν πορευθῇ πρὸς αὐτούς, μετανοήσουσιν.
31 “Abrahamu akamwambia, ‘Kama wasipowasikiliza Mose na Manabii, hawataweza kushawishika hata kama mtu akifufuka kutoka kwa wafu.’”
εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ· εἰ Μωϋσέως καὶ τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἀκούουσιν, οὐδὲ ἐάν τις ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῇ πεισθήσονται.
