Luka 16
1 Yesu kuru a woro nono katwa me, “Umong unan nikurfung wadi nin nang tamani me, ida belinghe unang yeujun ntamanie din nanzu unis.
And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his goods.
2 Unan nikurfughe yicila ghe aworoghe, 'I yanghari ndin lanze litife? Daa uda nyii kibatiza nimon ile na nwa nili uyenje bana na fe unit ucineari ba.'
And he called him, and said to him: What is this that I hear of you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer act as steward.
3 Unan yenjughe ntamane woro letime, 'I yanghari mbati nin litining, I yanghari mba ti, bara na cikilari nighe ma kalu katwa kane nacara nighe? Na indi nin likava mawuzu wuzu ba, tutung indi lanzu incin kufili.
And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes from me the stewardship. I have not strength to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
4 In yiru imon ile na mba ti, bara na lwa kala katwa kane nacara nighe, anit ma sesui ngamine.'
I am resolved on what I shall do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, I may be received into their houses.
5 Unan yeujun ntamane yicila vat nale na cikilare din durtu nami tire, anin tirino unan burne, 'Imashinari cikilare din durtu fi?'
And he called to him every one of his lord’s debtors, and said to the first, How much do you owe my lord?
6 A woro, 'A mudu akut likure nnuf kuca.' Anin waroghe 'Soo mas, kibatiza fe kaa, u nyertin akut ataun.'
He replied, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take back your note, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 Unang yeuju ntamane woro mmong, 'I mashinari idin durtufi?' A woro, 'A mudu akut likure nialkama.' A woroghe 'Kibatiza fe kanga yertina akut likure sa aba.'
Then he said to another, How much do you owe? He replied, A hundred homers of wheat. And he said to him, Take back your note, and write eighty.
8 Unan nikurfughe taghe njah bara na awa su katwa me caut ba, bara na nono nyii ulele di nin nibinai nsu nimon icine bara anit mime ba na nafo nonon nkananghe di. (aiōn g165)
And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he acted prudently. For the children of this age are more prudent toward their generation than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 In belin fi, pizira adondong bara litife nin nimon nyii, bara I wa nyaa ima pirizin fi nanya nilari mi ne. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, Make for yourselves friends with the unrighteous riches, that when you fail, you may be received into the everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
10 Ule na adi nin yinnu-sa-uyenu nanya nimon baat ade nin yinnu-sa-uyenu nanya ni dya, ule na adi nin salin yinnu-sa-uyenu nanya ni baat na ama yitu nin yinnu-sa-uyenu nanya nimon idya ba.
He that is faithful in the least, is faithful also in much. He that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
11 Bara nani, andi na udi nin yinna-sa-uyenu nimoon inyii ba, ghari ba yinnu ninfi nin nimoon kidegene?
If, therefore, you have not been faithful in the unrighteous riches, who will intrust you with the true?
12 Nanere, andi na udi nin yinnu-sa-uyenu kitene kuturan mong ba, ghari ma nifi ile na idi infe?
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give to you that which is your own?
13 Na kucin wasaa amyino an cin nilara naba kubi kurume ba, sa a ma nari umong ati usun mmong, sa a su umong katwa amari usun mmong, na u wasa usu Kutelle licin nin tamani kubi kurume ba.”
No servant can serve two masters; for he will either hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and despise the other. You can not serve God and riches.
14 Afarsayawe na i wadi anam su nikurfunghari, I lanza ule ulire vat, itunna nsisu ghe.
And the Pharisees also, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15 A woro nani, “Idin suzu kidegen mine niyizi nanitari, bara nani Kutelle yiru nibinai mine. Ileli imon na idin ruu ining idi zemzem nizi Kutelle.
And he said to them: You set yourselves forth as righteous before men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men, is detestable in the sight of God.
16 Uduka nin nanan liru nin nuu Kutelle wa di, Yohana nin daa. Unuzun koni kubi udu sa ligang, uliru Kutelle idim belun nin, vat nanit din shoo ati nanya ti bau ti bau.
The law and the prophets were till John. Since that time, the kingdom of God is preached, and every one enters it by force.
17 Bara nani ukatin nin sauki nworu kitene kani nin kadas kata nin waru fiyert firum nanyan nliru me ikala sa uti kinuu.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one point of the law to fail.
18 Vatin nlenge na akoo uwani me ayira umong adin nozu nin na wani ahem, nanere uwani ule na akoo ules me aminin di yira umong adin nozu nin les uhem.
Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is divorced, commits adultery.
19 Umong unan nikurfung wa duku na iwa shonghe imoon icine anin din lanzun mmang vat liri nanya ntamani udya.
There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted sumptuously every day.
20 Umong unan kufilli nunnu kibulung me nin nanut kidowo me.
And there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores:
21 A wadin su a li mbubun nimon li na idin disu kuteen, banin nani, ninau nin din lelu anut kidowo me.
and he would gladly have been fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. And even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Usuo inlong liyiri unam kufille kuu anan kadura Kutelle da yiraghe udu abunu Ibrahim. Unam nikurfughe wang kuu ikasaghe.
And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and was carried by angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried;
and in hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 A fiya liwai me aworo, 'Ibrahim ucif lanza nkune-kune ning utuu Liazaru ku, a diti liyicin me nanyan myen adak ada tii limila cancam, indin niu namyan nla ulele.'
And he called to him 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 Bara nani Ibrahim woro, 'Gono kubin laife uwa seru imon icine nlaife, Liazaru sere imon inanzang. Bara nani itaghe insheu kibinai kikane, fe tutung uniu.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that, in your lifetime, you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus his evil things. But now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
26 Banin nani kuwu kudya nkese nari bara na alenge na ima kafinu udu kiti fe na iwasa i kafina ba, a na umong wasa a kafina udak kiti bite ba.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that they that would pass hence to you, can not; nor can they that would, pass thence to us.
27 Unan nikurfughe woro, 'Ndin foo fi nacara, Ibrahim ucif. U tuughe udun ngan cif nighe.
Then he said, I beseech you, therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house;
28 Bara na idi nin nwana inung nataun bara anan wunno nani atuf, bara iwa dak imus kitin niu kaane tutung.'
for I have five brothers; that he may earnestly admonish them, lest they also come to this place of torment.
29 Bara nani Ibrahim woro, 'Idi nin Musa nan nanan liru nin nuu Kutelle; na ilanza nani.'
Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 Unan nikurfunghe kpana aworo, 'na nanere ba, Ibrahim ucif, bara nani iwase umong ulenge na aba du kitimene nanya nabi, I ma kpiliu nibinai mine.'
But he said, Not so, Father Abraham; but if one should go to them from the dead, they would repent.
31 Bara nani Ibrahim woroghe, 'Andi na ima lanzu Musa ku nan nanan liru nin nuu Kutelle ba, na ima lanzu umong tutung ba sa afita nanya nani.'”
But he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded, though one should rise from the dead.
