Luuka 16
1 uYesu akavavula avavulanisivua vake, “palyale nu muunhu jumonga m'mofu alyale nu m'baha mu mbombo jake,
And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.
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 he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may be no longer steward.
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? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4 nikagula lino kyale nivomba kyande vanivusisie mu mbombo jango ja kwimilila avaanhu vanyupile mu nyuma save.
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 pe pano umweimilili jula akavakemhela voni vano visighilua nu ntwa ghwake akam'bula ughwa kwanda, 'ghusighilua ilingi nu ntwa ghwango?'
So he called every one of his lord’s debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owe you to my lord?
6 akati, 'fighelelo kilundo fya mafuta akam'bula,' tola ilikalataasi lyako ng'ani ng'ani lemba ifijigho fihaano,
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, 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 owe you? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill, 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 lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser 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 to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when you fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (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 that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that 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 you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 kange nave namulyale vagholofu kutumila ikyuma kya muunhu junge, ghweveni juno ikuvapela sino sinu jumue?
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give 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 servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
14 pe avafarisayi, vano valyale vinoghua indalama ye vapulike aghuo ghoni vakam'benafula.
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided 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 to them, You are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is 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 time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.
17 neke kihugu ku kyanya ni iisi fivuke kuliko ililembe limo lya ndaghilo likosekane.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one pronunciation mark 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.
Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery.
19 palyale nu mmofu jumonga alyafwalile amhenda aghanya sambalau na gha ndalama akale ihovokela uvumofu vwake uvukome.
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously 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 beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 ghwope akinoghelua kulia ikyakulia kino kikaghwisagha pasi pa mofu jula nasi mbua sikisa sikamumyanga ifikong'o fyake.
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 jikava unkotofu jula akafua, avanyaMhola vakantola kuhanga pakifuva pa Abulahamu. ummofu jula ghwope akafua akasyulua.
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: 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 he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, 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 he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in 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 you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
26 na kukila aghuo, kuvikilie ilina ilikome pakate jitu kuuti vano vilonda kuluta kulyumue vakunuaghe na vaanhu va kulyumue navangalovokaghe kukwisa kulyusue'
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there.
27 umofu jula akati, 'nisuuma baba Abulahamu kuuti unsung'e ku nyumba kwa baba ghwango.
Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house:
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, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 neke uAbulahamu akati, 'kwale uMoose na vavili, valeke vavapulikisie vavuo.
Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 umofu jula akati, 'Ndali, baba Abulamahu, neke nave angalute umuunhu juno ahumile kuvafue vilaata,
And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one went 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.
And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
