Luke 16
1 Jesus in a nungzui te tung ah, Mihau khat om a, neisa keam tu khat nei hi; tua pa in na neisa teng bo thongsak siat hi, ci in a topa tung ah ki mawsiat hi.
And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.
2 Taciang a topa in sam a ama tung ah, na thu ka zak te bangbang ziam? ka van na kep teng sazian hong pia tan; banghangziam cile ka neisa keam hi nawn ngawl tu ni hi, ci hi.
And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may be no longer steward.
3 Tasiaciang in neisa keam pa in, ka topa in ka nasep pan hong tawlngasak tu a hi ciang in, bang vawt tu khi ziam? lo le ka tho thei bua a; khutdaw ngen tu le ka maizum hi.
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4 Neisa keam dinmun pan hong tawlngaksak ciang in, amate inn ah hong san thei natu in ka vawt tu ka he hi, ci hi.
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 Tua ahikom a topa kung ah leiba nei te theampo sam a, a masabel pa kung ah, ka topa tung bangza ba ni ziam? ci hi.
So he called every one of his lord’s debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owe you to my lord?
6 Tua pa in, sathau pheal zakhat, ci hi. Taciang neisa keam pa in, na sazian la tan a, a manlang in to in, taciang pheal sawm nga ci at in, ci hi.
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 A dang khat kung ah, nang e, bangza ba ni ziam? ci hi. Ama in, zungtang hui ip zakhat, ci hi. Taciang neisa keam pa in, na sazian la tan a, ip sawm liat ci at in, ci hi.
Then said he to another, And how much owe you? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill, and write fourscore.
8 Hi a thuman ngawl neisa keampa in thimtheltak in a vawt nate a topa in pok hi: banghangziam cile, leitung mihing te sia amate hun sung, khuavak tate sang in lupil zaw uh hi. (aiōn g165)
And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Keima in kong ci hi, note hileitung pan na pusua uh ciang in tawntung omna biakbuk sung ah hong sang tu na nei thei natu uh in, leitung sum le pai taw ngualtam vawt vun. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when you fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
10 A tawmno ah a thuman peuma a tampi ah zong thuman hi: A tawmno ah a thuman ngawl peuma a tampi tung ah zong thuman ngawl hi.
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11 Tua ahikom a kip ngawl neisa tung ah thuman ngawl na hi uh le, a kua in hauna tatak hong ap ngam tu ziam?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 Ngual dang neisa tung nangawn ah thuman ngawl na hi uh le, noma nei tu in a kua in hong pia ngam tu ziam?
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 Mihing khat in to ni na seam thei ngawl tu hi: banghangziam cile khat ensan tu a, a dang khat it tu hi; khat beal tu a, a dang khat ngaingon tu hi. Note in Pathian le nei le lam naseam hi khawm thei ngawl tu nu hi, ci hi.
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
14 A duhop Pharisee te in hi thu te theampo a zak uh ciang in, Jesus selno in nui uh hi.
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15 Tasiaciang in Jesus in amate tung ah hibang in ci hi, Note in mihing te mai ah noma le noma ki thutangsak nu hi; ahihang Pathian in na thinsung uh hong he hi: banghangziam cile mihing te sung ah a sang mama in a ki ngaisun te, Pathian mai ah lipkhap huai mama hi.
And he said to them, You are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
16 John hong thet dong thukham le kamsang thu te om hi: tua hun pan kipan Pathian kumpingam thu pualak uh a, mi theampo phul in tum uh hi.
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.
17 Thukham sung ah a nobel a bawk no khat sang in, van le lei a bo tu ol zaw lai hi.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one pronunciation mark of the law to fail.
18 A kuamapo a zi khul a, zi dang a nei sia, palngul mawna vawt a hihi: taciang a pasal in a khul numei a tenpui sia zong palngul mawna vawt ma a hihi.
Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery.
19 Mi hau khat om a, puan sannum le puan neamno a pha mama sil in, nisim nuamsa in nungta hi:
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 Taciang a pumpi tung theampo meima taw a dim, Lazarus a kici khutdaw ngen khat om a, mi hau pa kongbiang ah ngual in koi hi.
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 Mihaupa sabuai pan a tak anneng te ne nuam in om a, ui hongpai in a meima te liasak hi.
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Khutdaw ngen pa thi a, vantung mite in Abraham kang sung ah paipui hi: taciang, mihaupa zong thi a, phum hi;
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 Taciang a ngim thuak na hell sung pan a tungsang a et ciang in, a khuala mama na ah Abraham mu hi, taciang a kangsung ah Lazarus om hi. (Hadēs g86)
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Mihaupa au in, ka pa Abraham awng, hong hesuak kapo in, hi meikuang sung ah ngim na thuak kahikom Lazarus in a khutzung dawn tuisung ah papsuk in, ka lei hong votsak natu in sawl in, ci hi.
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, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 Ahihang Abraham in, ka tapa awng, na nuntaksung a pha theampo sang zo ni hi, tabangma in Lazarus sia a pha ngawl teng sang hi: ahizong tu in ama sia henepna nga zo a, nang na hile ngimna na thuak hi, ci phawk in.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
26 Hiteng theampo bek domngawl, kote le nangma ki laklaw ah luamthukpi om hi: tua ahikom hi mun pan in na kung ah ki pai thei ngawl a, nangma kung pan zong ko kung ki pai thei ngawl hi, ci hi.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there.
27 Tasiaciang in mihaupa in, tua a hi ciang, ka pa Abraham awng, Lazarus sia ka pa inn ah paisak tu in hong ngen khi hi:
Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house:
28 Banghangziam cile, suapui nga nei lai khi hi; hi ngimna sung ah hong thet ngawl natu uh in Lazarus in amate tung ah tettipang tahen, ci hi.
For I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham in, amate in Moses le kamsang te nei hi; tuate thu ngai tahen, ci hi.
Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 Taciang in mihaupa in, hi ngawl hi, ka pa Abraham awng: mithi te sung pan in khat amate kung ah pai a hile, amate ki sikkik tu uh hi, ci hi.
And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Abraham in ama kung ah, Moses le kamsang te thu a ngai nuam bua a hile, khatpo thina pan a thokik hial zong in ngai nuam tuan ngawl tu uh hi, ci hi.
And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
