Luuka 16
1 uYesu akavavula avavulanisivua vake, “palyale nu muunhu jumonga m'mofu alyale nu m'baha mu mbombo jake,
THEN said he also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he received an information against him, as having dissipated his treasures.
2 pe vakampela umm imhola sa m'baha jula kuuti, um'bombi ghwako um'baha itaghania ifyuma fyako. pe ummo akan'kemela akam'bula akati, “kwe kiliku ulyuve kino nipulika? humia imhola ija vuvaha vwako, ulwakuva nungave m'baha kange mu mbombo jango.
And calling him, he said to him, What is this report I hear of thee? give up the account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer in that office.
3 um'baha jula akijovela mu mwoojo ghwake, nivombe kiki, ulwakuva untwa ghwango ikunivusia mu mbombo jango ija vuvaha? nisila ngufu sa kulima, na kusuma nivona soni.
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? because my master is taking away the stewardship from me: to dig, I have not the strength; to beg, I am ashamed.
4 nikagula lino kyale nivomba kyande vanivusisie mu mbombo jango ja kwimilila avaanhu vanyupile mu nyuma save.
I know what I will do, that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may entertain me at their houses.
5 pe pano umweimilili jula akavakemhela voni vano visighilua nu ntwa ghwake akam'bula ughwa kwanda, 'ghusighilua ilingi nu ntwa ghwango?'
So calling upon every one of his master’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my master?
6 akati, 'fighelelo kilundo fya mafuta akam'bula,' tola ilikalataasi lyako ng'ani ng'ani lemba ifijigho fihaano,
And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said, Take thy account, and sit down directly, and write fifty.
7 pe akam'bula ujunge najuve ghusighilua ilingi? akati, 'ifighelelo kilundo kimo ifya vutine vwa ngano'. tola ilikalataasi lyako, lemba ifijigho lekela kwoni'.
Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred core of wheat. And he saith to him, Take thy account, and write fourscore.
8 untwa jula akamughinia um'baha jula ulakuva alyavombile nu vukagusi. ulwakuva avaanha va pa iisi iji vali nuvukagusi vyinga kukila avaanha va Nguluve. (aiōn g165)
And the master praised the unjust steward, because he had acted providently: for the children of this world are more provident among their own generation of men, than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 lino une nikuvavula kuuti, muvatangaghe avajinu ni kyuma kino mulinakyo, neke kyande kisilile, mwupilue ku vukalo vwa kusila na kusila. (aiōnios g166)
And I say unto you, Make yourselves friends with the unrighteous mammon that when ye fail, they may receive you into the eternal mansions. (aiōnios g166)
10 juno mugholofu mu lidebe kyongo iva mugholofu na mulikome. ghwope juno namugholofu mu lidebe naiva mugholofu na mulikome kange.
He that is faithful in the least thing, is faithful also in much: and he who is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
11 nave umue namulyale vagholofu mu kyuma kino na kyakyangani pe ghwevene juno ikuvitika ku kyuma ikya lweli?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust you with the true?
12 kange nave namulyale vagholofu kutumila ikyuma kya muunhu junge, ghweveni juno ikuvapela sino sinu jumue?
and if ye have not been faithful in that which belongs to another, who will give up to you that which is your own?
13 nakwale um'bombi juno ikuvavombela avatwa vavili, ulwakuva ghukunkalalilagha jumo na kumughana ujunge, nambe kukolana nuju na kum'benapula uju. nungawesie kukum'bombela uNguluve ni kyuma.
No domestic can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and neglect the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 pe avafarisayi, vano valyale vinoghua indalama ye vapulike aghuo ghoni vakam'benafula.
Then the Pharisees also, who were dear lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered at him.
15 kange akavavula, “umue mwemwemu mukuvona hwene vanya kyang'ani pa maaso gha vaanhu, neke UNguluve akagwile amoojo ghinu. ulwakuva lino lyimike kwa muunhu liva ng'alasi pa maaso ghwa Nguluve.
And he said unto them, Ye are they who affect to be righteous persons before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 indaghilo na vavili pwefilyale kuhanga uYohani panoa akisile. kuhuma unsiki ughuo, imhola inofu ja vutwa vwa Nguluve jikapulisivue, nu muunhu ghweni ighela kukwingila ku ngufu.
The law and the prophets were until John: since that the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
17 neke kihugu ku kyanya ni iisi fivuke kuliko ililembe limo lya ndaghilo likosekane.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fail.
18 ghweni juno ikumuleka un'dala ghwake na kun'toola un'dala ujunge ivwafuka, ghwope juno ikun'toola juno alekilue numughosi ghwake ivwafuka.
Every one who putteth away his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and every one who marrieth a woman divorced from her husband, committeth adultery.
19 palyale nu mmofu jumonga alyafwalile amhenda aghanya sambalau na gha ndalama akale ihovokela uvumofu vwake uvukome.
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making splendid entertainments every day:
20 nu nkotofu jumonga ilitavua lyake Lasali vakam'biki pa mulyango ghwa kunji kwa mofu jula, alyale ni fikongo.
and there was a certain pauper, named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate covered with ulcers,
21 ghwope akinoghelua kulia ikyakulia kino kikaghwisagha pasi pa mofu jula nasi mbua sikisa sikamumyanga ifikong'o fyake.
and importunately desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: yea even the dogs came and licked his ulcers.
22 jikava unkotofu jula akafua, avanyaMhola vakantola kuhanga pakifuva pa Abulahamu. ummofu jula ghwope akafua akasyulua.
Now it came to pass that the poor man died, and was carried up by angels into the bosom of Abraham. Then the rich man also died, and was buried:
23 ye alyale mumuko kuvulungu kula akadindula amaaso ghake akamwagha uAbulahamu kuvutali ali nu Lasali pakifuva kyake. (Hadēs g86)
and in hell, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham at a vast distance, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 akalila akati, 'baba Abulahamu, nisaghile un'sung'e u Lasali asase ulwove lwake mumalenga, alunoghelesie ululimi lwango; ulwakuva nipumusivua mu mwoto ughu.
And crying out, he said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented with this flame.
25 neke uAbulahamu akati, 'mwanago kumbuka kuuti mu vwumi vwako ukupile isako sino nono, nu Lasali vule vule alyapatile inyivi. neke lino alyapa uhuvilisivua, najuve ghupumusivua.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou hast received thy good things during thy life, and Lazarus, in like manner, what was afflictive: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 na kukila aghuo, kuvikilie ilina ilikome pakate jitu kuuti vano vilonda kuluta kulyumue vakunuaghe na vaanhu va kulyumue navangalovokaghe kukwisa kulyusue'
And besides all these considerations, between us and you there is a vast chasm fixed: so that they who might be willing to pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass through to us, from thence.
27 umofu jula akati, 'nisuuma baba Abulahamu kuuti unsung'e ku nyumba kwa baba ghwango.
And he said, I entreat thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to my paternal mansion:
28 ulwakuva nili navanyalukolo vahano neke avavunge na veene ku vwoghofi piti vope vilikwisa pa mhumhuko apa.
for I have five brothers: that he may testify to them, that they also come not into this place of torment.
29 neke uAbulahamu akati, 'kwale uMoose na vavili, valeke vavapulikisie vavuo.
Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hearken to them.
30 umofu jula akati, 'Ndali, baba Abulamahu, neke nave angalute umuunhu juno ahumile kuvafue vilaata,
But he said, Ah no, father Abraham! but if one came to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 neke uAbulahamu akam'bula akati, 'ndeve navikuvapulikisia uMoose na vavili navangampulikisie nambe umuunhu angasyuke kuhuma kuvafue.
Then he said to him, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead.
