Luhka 16
1 Jesuh naw axüisaw hea veia hina ngthu a pyen be tü, “Khyang bawimangki mat naw, a khawh mceiki mat a tak. Acuna khawh mceiki naw a mahpaa khawh kpäkcaihsak ve tia mawng a mahpa üng mtheh law u se,
And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and this man was accused to him as squandering things possessed by him.
2 acunüng, a mahpa naw, ‘a khawh mceikia m'ya cun khü lü, na mawng ka ngjak hin ia suilam ni? Khawhtheme khana na bilawh na mtheh lawa. Atuh üng tün lü khawh mceikia am na kya ti khai’ a ti.
And having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about thee? Render the account of thy management, for thou can no longer manage.
3 “Acunüng, khawh mceiki naw a mlung k’uma ngai kyu lü, ‘Ka mahpa naw, a khawh ka mceinak üngka naw na pyaisak ve, lai co lü pi am ka nghlawh theiki, ka kthähei hü vaia pi ka ngkekhyakeiki, ikba ka awm khai ni?’
And the manager said within himself, What shall I do because my lord takes away the management from me? I am not able to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 “Khawh mceinak üngka naw ami na pyaisak käna, ami ima na awmpüi khai hea püi ka tak üng daw khai ti ka ksingki,’ ti lü,
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.
5 acunüng a mahpaa khawh leinakia khyang he jah khü lü, akcüka veia, ‘Ka mahpaa khawh i kän na lei naki ni?’ a ti.
And having summoned each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much do thou owe to my lord?
6 “Acun naw, ‘Situi pung a phya lei na veng’ ti se, khawh mceiki naw, ‘angxita cajin lawpüi, ngaw lü, mhmakipa yua,’ a ti.
And he said, A hundred measures of olive oil. And he said to him, Receive thy document, and having sat down, quickly write fifty.
7 “Acunüng, akce mata veia, ‘Nang mä i kän na lei naki ni?’ a ti, ani naw, ‘cang tawng thawng at lei na veng’ ti se, khawh mceiki naw, ‘angxita na cajin lawpüi, ngaw lü, phya khyeta yua,’ a ti.
Next he said to another, And how much do thou owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he says to him, Receive thy document, and write eighty.
8 “Acunüng, am dawkia khawh mceiki naw acunkba a jah pawhmsah law a mahpa naw hmu lü, aktäa, a ngak. Khawmdek khyang he amimäta hama ami bilawhnak üng, akvai üng awmki hea kthaka khyaih bawki he ni,” a ti. (aiōn g165)
And his lord commended the unrighteous manager because he did shrewdly. Because the sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 Acunüng Jesuh bä naw, “Ka ning jah mthehki, nami hama khawmdek khawhthem püi na ua, acunüng ni acun a bäih law üng anglät xünak ima ning jah do khai he. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, make friends for yourselves from the mammon of unrighteousness, so that, when ye cease, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 “Upi ajawcaa khana üpangak vaia awmki cun khawjaha khana pi üpangnak vaia ve khaia kyaki. Upi ajawca khana am üpangnak vaia awmki cun khawjaha khana pi üpangnak vaia am kya.
The man faithful in the least is faithful also in much, and the man unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
11 “Acunakyase, khyük theikia khawmdek khawhthema khana pi am üpangnak vaia nami ve üng, u naw khawhthem kcang ning jah khämsak khai aw?
If therefore ye did not become faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you what is true?
12 “Khyang kcea khawhthema khana pi üpangnak vaia am nami awm üng, u naw nami ka vaia ning jah pe khai aw?
And if ye did not become faithful in the alien, who will give thine to you?
13 M'ya u naw mahpa nghngih am khüih khawi naw, mat ä ngja hlü lü, mat jawng na khai, am acunüng mat kü na lü mat kse na khai. Pamhnam la ngui atänga am nami jah khüih thei khai,” a ti.
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Acunüng, ngui jawngnaki hea Pharise he naw acuna ngthu ngja u lü, ami yaihei.
And the Pharisees, being lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered him.
15 Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Khyanga hmuha nami cingcaihkia nami ngseki, cunsepi Pamhnam naw nami mlung ning jah ksingki ni; khyanga hmuha ami mküih cun Pamhnama hmuha msetei phyaki ni.
And he said to them, Ye are those who declare yourselves righteous in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. Because what is lofty among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 “Mosia thum la sahma hea yuke cun Johana am a pha law hlan üng awmki, Johan üngka naw tün lü Pamhnama khaw thangkdaw cun sanga kyaki. Acunüng, khyang avan amthuia lut khawiki he.
The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed good news, and every man in it is treated aggressively.
17 “Cunsepi, thum anglungcaa khyüh theia kthaka ta, khawmdek la khankhawa khyüh vai jäi bawk khai.
But it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
18 “Upi a khyu mtai lü, nghnumi akce khyu naki cun a khyu mkhyekatki ni. Ami mtaia nghnumi khyu naki pi a khyu mkhyekat naki ni.
Every man who divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery, and every man who marries her who has been divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 “Aktäa bawimangkia mangpa, aküi säiha thüi awi lü, amhmüp tä se hlimtui leng leng khaia ei aw lü awmki mat awmki.
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously daily.
20 “Acunüng, khuikha leng lengkia khyang, Lazaruh ngming naki pi mat, a pumsa üng mnehkse am be se, mangpaa mkawt peia ami lawpüi,
But there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who had been placed near his gate, covered with sores,
21 mangpa buhkbe peia kbuhkbaw ei khaia, a mkawt peia ngjän se ui he naw a mneh ami mleh law pet khawi.
and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. But even the dogs that came licked his sores.
22 “Acunüng, hinkba kyaki, Lazaruh thi se khankhawngsä he naw Abrahama peia ngaw khaia ami cehpüi. Acunüng, mangpa pi thi se k’uta kyaki.
And it came to pass for the poor man to die and be carried by the agents to Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23 “Acunüng, khyang kthikhawa aktäa khuikha lü hang mdeiki naw athuknaka Abraham, a peia Lazaruh ngaw se hmu lü, (Hadēs g86)
And having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus by his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 ‘Aw ka pa Abraham, na m'yeneia. Lazaruh naw a kutmdawngca tui üng hnet lü, ka mlei a ye law sak vaia ka awmnaka tui lawa, hina meikdäi üng khuikha leng leng veng’ ti lü ngpyangki.
And having cried out, he said, Father Abraham, be merciful to me, and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame.
25 “Acunüng Abraham naw, ‘Ka capa aw, na xün k’um üng akdaw yah lü, acunkba Lazaruh naw am dawki a yah cen süma; cunsepi, atuh ani dim’yenak am ve se, nang khuikha veki,
But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now here he is comforted and thou are in agony.
26 acuna thea, hin üngka naw nami veia cit hlüki he am ami cehnak thei vai la upi nangmia awmnak üngka naw keimi veia am ami lawnak thei vaia, mi nglaka nghawinu awmki’ a ti.
And besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those here who want to cross over to you are not able, nor may those go across from there to us.
27 “Acunüng mangpa naw, ‘Am acunüng, ka pa aw, ka pa ima Lazaruh na tüih vaia hleng ning nghui na veng,
And he said, I beg thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father's house,
28 ka hnunpüi kpami mhma awmki, hina khuikhanaka ä law msawk khai hea a jah va mtheh vaia’ a ti.
for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 “Acunüng Abraham naw, ‘Mosi la sahma he awmki he, acun hea jah mtheh ngai khai he ni,’ a ti.
But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them.
30 “Acunüng, mangpa naw, ‘Ka pa Abraham aw, acunkba am kya, khyang kthi he üngka mat, tho law be lü ngthu a pyen üng ta ami katnak nghlat ta khai he ni,’ a ti.
And he said, No, father Abraham, but if some man would go to them from the dead they will repent.
31 “Acunüng Abraham naw, ‘Mosi la sahma hea ngthu am ami ngaih üng, khyang kthi üngka tho law be se pi am kcang na u,’ a ti” a ti.
And he said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if some man would rise from the dead.
