Luka 16
1 Yeecu yi nobbwankecebo tak, “nii cuwekako kangeni ki ni toman'nye, Lacin kwa kiyan nye ki nii toman nyewo kang cineut cuwekacokob.
Then He said further to His disciples: “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, who was accused to him of wasting his goods.
2 La nii cuweka wuco yico, “fulan yer minuwa dor mwere? bowki kiyeka tomange mweke, wori mari mwa yila nii tomange mititak.
So he called him in and said to him: ‘What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be manager.’
3 Lamitomange toki neren, ma mangi, nilomi anyam tomanyewo kangmik? Wo, mimanki bikwantonet lami cwa kwenduwe meka cekoti.
Then the manager said within himself: ‘What shall I do? My master is taking the management away from me. I do not have strength to dig; I am ashamed to beg
4 Minnyumwom dike ma matiyeu noci cukumye mor tomanye nindi, nubo ayoye lonici.
—I know what I will do, so that whenever I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.’
5 Dila nitomannye cwuningangum nubo teluwece bwanteng centiyeu, yi nii kaba, Nyi nii lomi bwangmwenten tiye?
Summoning each one of his master's debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 yiki, 'nuwannye kwini kwob' Isryico, Bifumer mwerowo, canakowo yikenyiye, mulangum kwini nung.
And he said, ‘A hundred baths of olive oil.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
7 Yilan yikannye, ciki bwangmwentuniyi? Yiki, cwayi bikate kwini kwob, 'bifumerwo mulangum kwini narub'.
Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill and write eighty.’
8 Dila niwo caklang nii bwini bilengewo ki yulancero. Bibeyo kaleweu nyimem maka nyinong nubo ko kaleweu la bibei filange yulang. (aiōn g165)
The master even ‘commended’ the dishonest manager, because he had acted shrewdly. The sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the Light. (aiōn g165)
9 Miyi komti komma bifarak kannge cuweraka kannge buni bilinke, cawo cin dimri, naci yokom lonici wuro manki diks. (aiōnios g166)
“I even say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that whenever you fail, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings! (aiōnios g166)
10 Wo madikerti dongdong dor dikero biduwareri, cin nii dongdonge dor dikero dur, wo kebo nii bilinke don dikero bidurure, kebo ni bilinke dor dikero dur.
He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.
11 Tano kommabo dike dongdonge di cuwekako kebo wucakeri, we aciya kumenti kicuweka wabilinkece?
If therefore you have not been faithful with the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the genuine?
12 No komma dike dongdonge ki kemer niidir we anekom kemer kumer tiye?
And if you have not been faithful in what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?
13 Kange mami wo a wob nii luweti yobe, catin kowini, ci cui win kakka ci ciya winening, ci cuwe kangum wineu. mani ka wab kwaamatiri kom wab cuwekati.
No servant can serve two masters; either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon!”
14 Kambo faricawabo wuro cui cuwekatiyeu nuwa dikero biombori, cin macinen cuwelangka.
Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were also listening to all these things, and they were ridiculing Him.
15 Inyici, “Kom ko tiki dor kumero kabum nubem, dila kwaama nyumuom nerkumero. Dikero nubo nedurketiye nyeu diker yeika fiye kwaama wiye.
So He said to them: “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. That which is exalted among men is an abomination before God.
16 Biwerer bifumer nob tomangebo inwi yakenciko Yahaya nin. Kwama wuro cin bwanten ker liyar kwaaranarotiye, kwarub kutannyi kwamacuo ci bwangten ker liyar kwaamarotiye, kwanrub ci ma bwi dokka dorekti morece.
The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed, and every one is trying to force his way into it.
17 Gwamm kangero, atin yilam bwaibo diko kange bitineu nabecum, na diker win nabi weretro na dim.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the Law to fail.
18 Niwo nyankan wucenin naukangeri inma buroka, ken niwo nau nawiyewo cinyam kanngeri inma buroka.
“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.
19 Nii cuwakakko kanngenwi, wo dukulen kemero yoryoreu nuwa luma kalecokoti.
“Now there was a certain rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 Cin yoken nii kini kannge nyiloco, dencero Liazaru, wo bwiceu ka deti.
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores, who had been placed at his gate,
21 Ceu ci cuiti naci bwam fwercero ki fiti cari yarangum ti fiye caka carik nii cuweka nyo kibi cuwetincer bom biyablam bwiceti.
just wanting to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table—why even the dogs would come and lick his sores!
22 Laniwo bwiyamri, nobtomangeb kwaamabo tu co yakenciko Ibrayim nin. Ni cuweks buyam, cin fwerumco,
In due time the beggar died and was carried away to Abraham's bosom by the angels. “The rich man also died and was buried.
23 ci mor Adece ci nuwa dotange ti, la cin kun doro cinto Ibrayim kutan, kan'nge Liazaru cantangcek. (Hadēs g86)
And in Hades he looked up and saw Abraham at a distance, and Lazarus very close to him. And being in torment, (Hadēs g86)
24 Lacin cobicoro ciki, Tee Ibrayim, ci bwinni mito, twomun Liazaru adokti biwurece mwem abelti menti biyenmin, wori indotange minuwati mor kirewe.
he called out, saying, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; because I am tormented by this flame!’
25 Dila Ibrayim yico, Bwe, kwabi ki kwamawo mu kalemweu munuwa luma cuweka mwekobi, munyo kulentinimbo ken, La Liazaru nuwati ka dotange. Dila naweu luma cinecotide, mwe munuwa dotangeti.
But Abraham said: ‘Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus had bad things; but now he is being comforted, and you tormented.
26 Nobo nyori dila buwako cuwa cuwau inwi, wori birombi coi yabkati kumeneu nadolde, tak kannge na yabuurefo nyinnen.
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can anyone from there cross over to us.’
27 Lamicuweks yiki, Lami kennenti Tee Ibrayim, twornco lo Tee ni-
Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,
28 wori minweki keb mib bi beibayilobe nyo nung, amincinen biweret kayilo cibuo fiye dotangewo.
because I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’
29 Dila Ibrayim yiki, cin wiki Musa kannge kannge nob toman'ngebi nyori ciya nuwaci,
Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’
30 Dilla nii cuweka ciyaki, 'O, on, Tee Ibrayim, cano kan'nge mor birombo biyam biya yacinendi, ciyam yiloten.
So he said to him, ‘Oh no, father Abraham—if someone from the dead should go to them, they will repent!’
31 Dilla Ibrayim yico, cono ci Musa kan'ge nobtoman'gebo ri, cabunano kan'nge fulou duwendi maciya nuwacoti”
He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone should rise from the dead.’”
