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 the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted 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: How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.
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, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.
4 In yiru imon ile na mba ti, bara na lwa kala katwa kane nacara nighe, anit ma sesui ngamine.'
I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me 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?'
Therefore calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?
6 A woro, 'A mudu akut likure nnuf kuca.' Anin waroghe 'Soo mas, kibatiza fe kaa, u nyertin akut ataun.'
But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill 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: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, 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, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in 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 unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings. (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 that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.
11 Bara nani, andi na udi nin yinna-sa-uyenu nimoon inyii ba, ghari ba yinnu ninfi nin nimoon kidegene?
If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is 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 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 either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Afarsayawe na i wadi anam su nikurfunghari, I lanza ule ulire vat, itunna nsisu ghe.
Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided 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 are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is high to men, is an abomination before 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 until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.
17 Bara nani ukatin nin sauki nworu kitene kani nin kadas kata nin waru fiyert firum nanyan nliru me ikala sa uti kinuu.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fall.
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.
Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth 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 beggar, named Lazarus, who lay 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.
Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table, and no one did give him; moreover 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 beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried,
in hell. And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he 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 cried, and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to 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.
And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazareth evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art 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 besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot, nor from thence come hither.
27 Unan nikurfughe woro, 'Ndin foo fi nacara, Ibrahim ucif. U tuughe udun ngan cif nighe.
And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren,
28 Bara na idi nin nwana inung nataun bara anan wunno nani atuf, bara iwa dak imus kitin niu kaane tutung.'
That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.
29 Bara nani Ibrahim woro, 'Idi nin Musa nan nanan liru nin nuu Kutelle; na ilanza nani.'
And 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: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.
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.'”
And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead.
