Luke 16
1 Ó sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú pé, “Ọkùnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ kan wà, tí ó ní ìríjú kan; òun náà ni wọ́n fi sùn ún pé, ó ti ń fi ohun ìní rẹ̀ ṣòfò.
He said, likewise, to his disciples, A certain rich man had a steward, who was accused to him of wasting his estate.
2 Nígbà tí ó sì pè é, ó wí fún un pé, ‘Èéṣe tí èmi fi ń gbọ́ èyí sí ọ? Ṣírò iṣẹ́ ìríjú rẹ; nítorí ìwọ kò lè ṣe ìríjú mi mọ́.’
Having, therefore, called him, he said, What is this that I hear of you? Render an account of your management, for you shall be steward no longer.
3 “Ìríjú náà sì wí nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, ‘Èwo ni èmi ó ṣe? Nítorí tí olúwa mi gba iṣẹ́ ìríjú lọ́wọ́ mi: èmi kò le ṣiṣẹ́ oko, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ojú ń tì mí láti ṣagbe.
And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? My master takes from me the stewardship; I can not dig, and am ashamed to beg.
4 Mo mọ èyí tí èmi yóò ṣe, nígbà tí a bá mú mi kúrò níbi iṣẹ́ ìríjú, kí àwọn ènìyàn le gbà mí sínú ilé wọn.’
I am resolved what to do, that when I am discarded, there may be some who will receive me into their houses.
5 “Ó sì pe àwọn ajigbèsè olúwa rẹ̀ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún èkínní pé, ‘Èló ni ìwọ jẹ olúwa mi?’
Having, therefore, sent severally for all his master's debtors, he asked one, How much do you owe my master?
6 “Ó sì wí pé, ‘Ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀rún òsùwọ̀n òróró.’ “Ó sì wí fún un pé, ‘Mú ìwé rẹ, sì jókòó nísinsin yìí, kí o sì kọ àádọ́ta lé ní irinwó.’
He answered, A hundred baths of oil. Take back your bill, said the steward, sit down directly, and write fifty.
7 “Nígbà náà ni ó sì bi ẹnìkejì pé, ‘Èló ni ìwọ jẹ?’ “Òun sì wí pé, ‘Ẹgbẹ̀rún òsùwọ̀n alikama.’ “Ó sì wí fún un pé, ‘Mú ìwé rẹ, kí o sì kọ ẹgbẹ̀rin.’
Then he asked another, How much do you owe? He answered, A hundred homers of wheat. Take back your bill, said he, and write eighty.
8 “Olúwa rẹ̀ sì yin aláìṣòótọ́ ìríjú náà, nítorí tí ó fi ọgbọ́n ṣe é, àwọn ọmọ ayé yìí sá à gbọ́n ní ìran wọn ju àwọn ọmọ ìmọ́lẹ̀ lọ. (aiōn g165)
The master commended the prudence of the unjust steward; for the children of this world are more prudent in conducting their affairs, than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Èmi sì wí fún yín, ẹ fi ọrọ̀ ayé yìí yan ọ̀rẹ́ fún ara yín pé, nígbà tí o ba lọ, kí wọn kí ó le gbà yín sí ibùjókòó wọn títí ayé. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore, I say to you, with the deceitful riches procure to yourself friends, who, after your discharge, may receive you into the eternal mansion. (aiōnios g166)
10 “Ẹni tí ó bá ṣe olóòtítọ́ nínú ohun kínkínní, ó ṣe olóòtítọ́ ní púpọ̀ pẹ̀lú: ẹni tí ó bá sì ṣe aláìṣòótọ́ ní ohun kínkínní, ó ṣe aláìṣòótọ́ ní ohun púpọ̀ pẹ̀lú.
Whoso is faithful in little is faithful also in much: and whoso is unjust in little, is unjust also in much.
11 Ǹjẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin kò bá ti jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ nínú ọrọ̀ ayé yìí, ta ni yóò fi ọ̀rọ̀ tòótọ́ fún yín?
If, therefore, you have not been honest in the deceitful, who will intrust you with the true riches?
12 Bí ẹ̀yin kò bá sì ti jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ nínú ohun tí í ṣe ti ẹlòmíràn, ta ni yóò fún yín ní ohun tí í ṣe ti ẹ̀yin tìkára yín?
And if you have been unfaithful managers for another, who will give you anything to manage for yourselves?
13 “Kò sì í ẹnìkan tí ó lè sin ọ̀gá méjì. Òun yóò yà kórìíra ọ̀kan tí yóò fẹ́ràn èkejì, tàbí kí ó fi ara mọ́ ọ̀kan kí ó sì yan èkejì ní ìpọ̀sí. Ẹ̀yin kò lè sin Ọlọ́run àti owó papọ̀.”
A servant can not serve two masters: for either he will hate one, and love the other; or, at least, will attend one, and neglect the other. You can not serve God and mammon.
14 Àwọn Farisi, tí wọ́n ní ojúkòkòrò sì gbọ́ gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí, wọ́n sì yọ ṣùtì sí i.
When the Pharisees, who loved money, heard all these things, they ridiculed him.
15 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ni àwọn tí ń dá àre fún ara yín níwájú ènìyàn; ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run mọ ọkàn yín, nítorí ohun ti a gbéga lójú ènìyàn, ìríra ni níwájú Ọlọ́run.
But he said to them, As for you, you make yourselves pass upon men for righteous, but God knows your hearts; for that which is admired of men is abhorred of God.
16 “Òfin àti àwọn wòlíì ń bẹ títí di ìgbà Johanu, Láti ìgbà náà wá ni a ti ń wàásù ìròyìn ayọ̀ ìjọba Ọlọ́run, olúkúlùkù sì ń fi ipá wọ inú rẹ̀.
You had the law and the prophets till the coming of John, since whose time, the kingdom of God is announced, and every occupant enters it by force.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n ó rọrùn fún ọ̀run òun ayé láti kọjá lọ, ju kí èyí tí ó kéré jù nínú òfin kí ó yẹ.
But sooner shall heaven and earth perish, than one tittle of the law shall fail.
18 “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ aya rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, tí ó sì gbé ẹlòmíràn ní ìyàwó, ó ṣe panṣágà: ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sì gbé, ẹni tí ọkọ rẹ̀ kọ̀sílẹ̀ ní ìyàwó náà, ó ṣe panṣágà.
Whoever divorces his wife, and takes another, commits adultery; and whoever marries the divorced woman, commits adultery.
19 “Ǹjẹ́ ọkùnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ kan wà, tí ó ń wọ aṣọ elése àlùkò àti aṣọ àlà dáradára, a sì máa jẹ dídùndídùn lójoojúmọ́.
There was a certain rich man, that wore purple and fine linen, and feasted splendidly every day.
20 Alágbe kan sì wà tí à ń pè ní Lasaru, tí wọ́n máa ń gbé wá kalẹ̀ lẹ́bàá ọ̀nà ilé rẹ̀, ó kún fún ooju,
There was also a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, that was laid at his gate,
21 Òun a sì máa fẹ́ kí a fi èérún tí ó ti orí tábìlì ọlọ́rọ̀ bọ́ sílẹ̀ bọ́ òun, àwọn ajá sì wá, wọ́n sì fá a ní ooju lá.
and who was desirous to feed on the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 “Ó sì ṣe, alágbe kú, a sì ti ọwọ́ àwọn angẹli gbé e lọ sí oókan àyà Abrahamu: ọlọ́rọ̀ náà sì kú pẹ̀lú, a sì sin ín;
It happened that the poor man died, and was conveyed by angels to Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Ní ipò òkú ni ó gbé ojú rẹ̀ sókè, ó ń bẹ nínú ìjìyà oró, ó sì rí Abrahamu ní òkèrè, àti Lasaru ní oókan àyà rẹ̀. (Hadēs g86)
And in hades, being in torments, he looked up, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)
24 Ó sì ké, ó wí pé, ‘Baba Abrahamu, ṣàánú fún mi, kí o sì rán Lasaru, kí ó tẹ orí ìka rẹ̀ bọ omi, kí ó sì fi tù mí ní ahọ́n; nítorí èmi ń joró nínú ọ̀wọ́n iná yìí.’
and cried, saying, Have pity on me, father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tortured in this flame.
25 “Ṣùgbọ́n Abrahamu wí pé, ‘Ọmọ, rántí pé, nígbà ayé rẹ, ìwọ ti gba ohun rere tìrẹ, àti Lasaru ohun búburú, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ara rọ̀ ọ́, ìwọ sì ń joró.
Abraham answered, Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received good things, and Lazarus received evil things; but now he is in joy, and you are in torments.
26 Àti pẹ̀lú gbogbo èyí, a gbé ọ̀gbun ńlá kan sí agbede-méjì àwa àti ẹ̀yin, kí àwọn tí ń fẹ́ má ba á le rékọjá láti ìhín lọ sọ́dọ̀ yín, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má sì le ti ọ̀hún rékọjá tọ̀ wá wá.’
Besides, there lies a huge gulf between us and you, so that they who would pass hence to you, can not: neither can they pass to us, who would come thence.
27 “Ó sì wí pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ mo bẹ̀ ọ́, baba, kí ìwọ kí ó rán Lasaru lọ sí ilé baba mi,
The other replied, I entreat you, then, father, to send him to my father's house;
28 nítorí mo ní arákùnrin márùn-ún; kí ó lè rò fún wọn kí àwọn kí ó má ba á wá sí ibi oró yìí pẹ̀lú.’
for I have five brothers, that he may admonish them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 “Abrahamu sì wí fún un pé, ‘Wọ́n ní Mose àti àwọn wòlíì; kí wọn kí ó gbọ́ tiwọn.’
Abraham answered, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 “Ó sì wí pé, ‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, Abrahamu baba; ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnìkan bá ti inú òkú tọ̀ wọ́n lọ, wọn ó ronúpìwàdà.’
Nay, said he, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they would reform.
31 “Ó sì wí fún un pé, ‘Bí wọn kò bá gbọ́ ti Mose àti ti àwọn wòlíì, a kì yóò yí wọn ní ọkàn padà bí ẹnìkan tilẹ̀ ti inú òkú dìde.’”
Abraham replied, if they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should arise from the dead.
