Luka 16
1 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Ɔdefoɔ bi wɔ hɔ a na ɔwɔ efie sohwɛfoɔ bi. Ɔdefoɔ yi tetee sɛ ne efie sohwɛfoɔ no resɛe ne nneɛma.
UJesu watshela abafundi bakhe wathi, “Kwakulendoda eyayinothile ilomphathi owetheswa icala lokuthi wayechithachithe inotho yayo.
2 Ɔtee saa asɛm yi no, ɔfrɛɛ ne efie sohwɛfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Ɛdeɛn na metete fa wo ho yi? Bɛbu wʼadwuma ho nkonta kyerɛ me na merentumi ne wo nyɛ adwuma bio.’
Yambiza yambuza yathi, ‘Kuyini lokhu engikuzwayo ngawe? Landisa kuhle ukuthi uhambisa njani izinto ngoba ungeke usaba ngumphathi njalo.’
3 “Efie sohwɛfoɔ no kaa wɔ ne tirim sɛ, ‘Menyɛ ɛdeɛn ni? Ɛnnɛ a wɔrepam me afiri efie ha yi, ɛhe na mɛfa? Menni ahoɔden a mede bɛdɔ, ɛnna mefɛre nso sɛ mɛsrɛsrɛ adeɛ.
Umphathi wazibuza wathi, ‘Ngizakuthini? Inkosi yami isingithathela umsebenzi wami. Kangilamandla okugebha, njalo ngilenhloni zokucela.
4 Menim deɛ mɛyɛ a ɛbɛma wɔn a wɔdede me wura aka no bɛhunu me mmɔbɔ.’
Ngiyazi engizakwenza ukuthi nxa ngilahlekelwa ngumsebenzi wami abantu bangamukele ezindlini zabo.’
5 “Enti, ɔfrɛfrɛɛ wɔn a wɔdede ne wura aka no mmaako mmaako. Ɔbisaa deɛ ɔdi ɛkan no sɛ, ‘Ɛka ahe na wode me wura?’
Ngakho yasibiza labo ababelezikwelede enkosini yayo munye ngamunye yathi, kowokuqala, ‘Isikwelede sakho enkosini yami singakanani?’
6 “Ɔbuaa sɛ, ‘Mede ngo nhina aduonu ka.’ “Enti, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Yɛ ntɛm tena ase na twam na twerɛ sɛ, wode ngo nhina edu ka.’
Wathi, ‘Ngamalitha amafutha e-oliva azinkulungwane ezine.’ Umphathi wamtshela wathi, ‘Phangisa, thatha incwadi yakho yesikwelede ubhale izinkulungwane ezimbili.’
7 “Ɛno akyi no, ɔfrɛɛ ɔfoforɔ bi nso bisaa no sɛ, ‘Na wo nso, ɛka ahe na wode me wura?’ “Ɔno nso buaa sɛ, ‘Mede aburoo nkotokuo ɔha ka.’ “Enti, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Tena ase na twam na twerɛ sɛ, wode nkotokuo aduonum ka!’
Yasibuza owesibili yathi, ‘Wena ulesikwelede esingakanani?’ Wathi, ‘Yimigodla yengqoloyi eyinkulungwane.’ Yamtshela yathi, ‘Thatha incwadi yakho yesikwelede ubhale amakhulu ayisificaminwembili.’
8 “Ɔdefoɔ no hunuu deɛ efie sohwɛfoɔ no yɛeɛ no akyi, nanso ɔnam fɛdie so kamfoo no wɔ nʼanifire no ho. Saa ara nso na ewiase yi mma susu sɛ wɔnim nyansa sene wɔn a wɔyɛ Onyankopɔn akyidifoɔ no. (aiōn g165)
Inkosi yamncoma lowomphathi owayeliqili ngoba wayenze ukuhlakanipha. Ngoba abantu balumhlaba balezindledlana zabo zokuhlakanipha ekuphathaneni kwabo ukwedlula abantu bokukhanya. (aiōn g165)
9 Na me nso mese mo sɛ, momfa ewiase ahonyadeɛ no bi nyɛ nnamfoɔ, na sɛ ɛsa a, wɔagye mo. (aiōnios g166)
Ngiyalitshela ngithi, sebenzisani inotho yomhlaba ukuzuza abangane ukuze kuthi nxa isiphelile lamukeleke ezindlini ezimi laphakade. (aiōnios g166)
10 “Nanso deɛ ɔdi nokorɛ wɔ kakra bi ho no bɛdi nokorɛ wɔ pii ho; na deɛ ɔnni nokorɛ wɔ kakra bi ho no, rentumi nni nokorɛ wɔ pii ho.
Lowo othembeke kokuncinyane uzakwethembeka njalo kokunengi, ikanti lowo ongathembekanga kokuncinyane angeke njalo athembeke kokunengi.
11 Sɛ moantumi anni nokorɛ wɔ ewiase nneɛma ho a, hwan na ɔde ɔsoro nnepa bɛhyɛ mo nsa?
Ngakho-ke, nxa lingathembekanga ekuphatheni inotho yasemhlabeni, pho ngubani ongalithemba ngenotho yeqiniso na?
12 Sɛ moanni nokorɛ wɔ obi adeɛ bi a wɔde ahyɛ mo nsa no ho a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wɔde deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɛyɛ mo dea no bɛma mo?
Njalo nxa belingathembekanga ngempahla yomunye umuntu, ngubani kambe ozalipha impahla ibe ngeyenu na?
13 “Ɔsomfoɔ biara rentumi nsom awuranom baanu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ saa a, ɔbɛdɔ ɔbaako na watan ɔbaako anaasɛ, ɔbɛsom ɔbaako yie na wabu ɔbaako animtia. Morentumi nsom Onyankopɔn ne ahonyadeɛ.”
Kakulanceku engakhonza amakhosi amabili. Funa izonde enye kodwa ithande enye, kumbe izinikele kwenye yeyise enye. Ngezake likhonze uNkulunkulu lemali ngokufanayo.”
14 Farisifoɔ sikaniberefoɔ no tee deɛ Yesu kaeɛ no, wɔdii ne ho fɛw.
AbaFarisi ababethanda imali bakuzwa konke lokhu, bamklolodela uJesu.
15 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Moyɛ nnipa a mobu mo ho ateneneefoɔ wɔ nnipa anim, nanso Onyankopɔn nim mo akoma mu. Na deɛ ɛsom bo wɔ nnipa ani so no yɛ akyiwadeɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
Wathi kubo, “Yini elizigezayo emehlweni abantu kodwa uNkulunkulu uyazazi inhliziyo zenu. Lokho okuligugu ebantwini kuyisinengiso kuNkulunkulu.”
16 “Ansa na Yohane Osubɔni bɛba no, na Mose mmara ne adiyifoɔ no nsɛm no na modi so. Na Yohane Osubɔni baeɛ no, ɔbɛkaa Onyankopɔn Ahennie ho nsɛm kyerɛɛ mo, enti, nnipa repere sɛ wɔbɛkɔ saa Ahennie no mu.
“UMthetho labaPhrofethi kwatshunyayelwa kwaze kwaba yisikhathi sikaJohane. Kusukela kulesosikhathi izindaba ezinhle zombuso kaNkulunkulu ziyatshunyayelwa njalo bonke abantu bazifuqela kuwo.
17 Ɛyɛ mmerɛ sɛ ɔsoro ne asase bɛtwam sene sɛ mmara no mu nsensaneɛ ketewa baako mpo bɛyera.
Kungaba lula ukuthi izulu lomhlaba kunyamalale kulokuthi kucitshe ichatha loMthetho elilodwa nje.
18 “Obiara a ɔgyaa ne yere awadeɛ na ɔware ɔfoforɔ no bɔ adwaman; na deɛ ɔware ɔbaa biara a ne kunu agyaa no no nso, bɔ adwaman.”
Loba ngubani olahla umkakhe athathe omunye umfazi uyafeba njalo lendoda ethatha umfazi owalahlwayo iyafeba.”
19 Yesu toaa so kaa sɛ, “Ɔdefoɔ bi tenaa ase a na daa ɔfira ntoma pa na ɔgye nʼani yie nso.
“Kwakulendoda enothileyo eyayigqoka izigqoko zombala oyibubende lezelembu lelineni, iphakathi kobutifitifi insuku zonke.
20 Na ɔbarima hiani bi a akuro atutu no a wɔfrɛ no Lasaro no nso da nʼaboboano.
Entubeni yomuzi wayo kwakuhlezi isiceli esasithiwa nguLazaro, sigcwele izilonda emzimbeni,
21 Ɔbarima yi kɔn dɔɔ sɛ anka ɔbɛnya aduane a ɔdefoɔ no adi ama aka no bi adi. Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu na nkraman ba baabi a na ohiani no da hɔ no bɛtaferetafere nʼakuro no mu.
siloyisa ukudla lokho okwakukhithika etafuleni yalesosicebi. Izinja zazifika zikhothe izilonda zaso.
22 “Ohiani no wuiɛ maa abɔfoɔ bɛfaa no kɔtenaa Abraham nkyɛn. Ɔdefoɔ no nso wuiɛ ma wɔsiee no.
Kwafika isikhathi lapho isiceli esafa khona, izingilosi zasithwala zasisa eceleni lika-Abhrahama. Lesicebi laso safa, sabekwa.
23 Ɔdefoɔ no wɔ asaman a ne ho yera no no, ɔmaa nʼani so hunuu Lasaro sɛ ɔte Abraham nkyɛn. (Hadēs g86)
Esihogweni lapho esasisitsha khona; savusa ubuso sabona u-Abhrahama ekude le, kuloLazaro eceleni kwakhe. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ɔdefoɔ no teaam sɛ, ‘Agya Abraham, mesrɛ wo, hunu me mmɔbɔ na soma Lasaro na ɔmfa ne nsateaa ano nkɔbɔ nsuo mu mfa mmɛsɔ me tɛkrɛma so, na me ho yera me.’
Sasesimemeza sathi, ‘Baba Abhrahama, ake ungihawukele uthume uLazaro agxamuze umunwe wakhe emanzini athambise ulimi lwami, ngoba ngisebuhlungwini emlilweni lo.’
25 “Abraham buaa no sɛ, ‘Me ba, kae sɛ wote ewiase no, wodii dɛ na Lasaro dii yea, nanso afei na ɔredi dɛ ɛnna wo nso woredi yea.
Kodwa u-Abhrahama waphendula wathi, ‘Ndodana, khumbula ukuthi ngesikhathi usaphila wazuza izinto zakho ezinhle kodwa uLazaro wemukela izinto ezimbi, khangela manje useduduzwa lapha, ikanti wena ususebuhlungwini.
26 Ɛnyɛ yei nko, ɛbɔn kɛseɛ da yɛn ne mo ntam a ɛno enti, wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔfiri ha ba mo nkyɛn hɔ ne wɔn a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔfiri mo nkyɛn hɔ ba ha no nso rentumi mma.’
Njalo ngaphandle kwakho konke lokhu, phakathi kwethu lawe kulodonga olukhulu, ukwenzela ukuthi labo abafisa ukuza ngapho besuka lapha behluleke, futhi kakho ongapho ongachaphela ngakithi.’
27 “Ɔdefoɔ no sane ka kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, ‘Agya, mesrɛ wo, soma Lasaro kɔ mʼagya efie,
Saphendula sathi, ‘Nxa kunjalo-ke, ngiyakuncenga, baba, thuma uLazaro endlini kababa,
28 ɛfiri sɛ, mewɔ nuammarimanom baanum. Ma ɔnkɔbɔ wɔn kɔkɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn mu biara remma saa ahoyera yi mu bi.’
ngoba ngilabafowethu abahlanu. Ayebaxwayisa ukuze labo bangezi kule indawo yobuhlungu.’
29 “Abraham buaa no sɛ, ‘Wɔwɔ nsɛm a Onyankopɔn nam Mose ne adiyifoɔ no so aka enti ma wɔntie na wɔnni so.’
U-Abhrahama waphendula wathi, ‘BaloMosi labaPhrofethi; kabalalele bona.’
30 “Ɔdefoɔ yi kaa bio sɛ, ‘Agya Abraham, deɛ woreka yi wom deɛ, nanso sɛ obi firi asaman ha kɔbɔ wɔn kɔkɔ deɛ a, wɔbɛnu wɔn ho.’ (questioned)
Sathi, ‘Hatshi, baba Abhrahama, kodwa nxa kusuka umuntu kwabafileyo aye kubo bazaphenduka.’
31 “Abraham buaa sɛ, ‘Sɛ wɔantie deɛ Onyankopɔn nam Mose ne adiyifoɔ no so aka no a, saa ara nso na sɛ obi firi asaman ha kɔkasa kyerɛ wɔn a, wɔrentie no ara no no.’” (questioned)
Wathi kuso, ‘Nxa bengalaleli uMosi labaPhrofethi, kabasoze bavume loba omunye angaze avuke kwabafileyo.’”
