Luke 16
1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
Yesu kawagambiriti wafundwa wakuwi, “Kwanaga na mlundamali ayu yakaweriti na mfundwa yakalolera ulunda wakuwi. Mlunda mali ulii wamgambiriti kuwera yakalolera ulunda wakuwi kaweriti kankuyananga mpiya.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
Su mlundamali ulii kamshema na kumgambira, ‘Avi ndo vitwatira gaa vyampikinira kwaku, gung'ambiri ntambu yagutumiyiti mpiya zyangu, toziya hapeni guweri mlolera ulunda gwangu kayi.’
3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
Mlolera ulunda kaligambira mweni, ‘Mtuwa gwangu hakanwingi mlihengu lyangu. Hantendi ashi? Neni nahera makakala ga kulima, viraa nana soni kuluwaluwa.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Vinu nuvimana hantendi ashi! Su pakanwinga lihengu, hanweri na waganja weni hawanshemeli ukaya kwawu.’
5 So he called every one of his lord’s debtors [unto him], and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
“Su kawashemiti wantu woseri weni mtuwa gwakuwi kaweriti kankuwadayi. Kamkosiyiti gwa kwanja, ‘Gwenga mtuwa gwangu kakushonga mpiya ninga?’
6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
Yomberi kamwankula, ‘Mapipa miya ga lipaki lya zeyituni.’ Mlolera ulunda kamgambira, ‘Aga ndo mawalangu gaku, gulivagi pasi, gulembi lilongu mhanu.’
7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
Shakapanu kamkosiya kayi yumonga, ‘Na gwenga wakushonga mpiya ninga?’ Yomberi kamwankula, ‘Mihaku elufu ya nganu.’ Mlolera ulunda kamgambira, ‘Aga ndo mawalangu gaku, gulembi miya nane.’
8 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)
“Su mtuwa ulii kamzyumiti nentu mlolera ulunda yakaweriti kana pyera katumiyiti luhala, toziya wantu wa pasipanu wana luhala ng'anji muvitwatira vyawu kuliku wantu wa muweru.” (aiōn g165)
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
Yesu kendereyiti kulonga, “Su nukugambirani mwenga, Mtendi uganja kwa kutumiya vintu vya pasipanu, su paviwapelerani hawawashemeri mnumba ya mashaka goseri. (aiōnios g166)
10 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.
Muntu yoseri pakajimira mushintu shididini, hakaweri mjimira muvintu vikulu viraa, na muntu pakajimira ndiri mushintu shididini hapeni kajimiri mushintu shikulu.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
Handa mwenga pamujimirika ndiri kwa vintu vya pasipanu, ndo gaa hakawapanani vintu viwagira vya nakaka?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
Na handa mwenga pamuwera waminika ndiri kwa vintu vya wantu wamonga, ndo gaa hakakupani vintu vyenu maweni?
13 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. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
“Kwahera ntumintumi yakaweza kuwatendera lihengu watuwa wawili, toziya Ntumintumi hakamlemi ayu na kumfira yumonga, ama hakaweri na yumu na kumleka yumonga. Hapeni mwezi kumtendera Mlungu na shipindi shila shilii guyitendera mpiya.”
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
Mafalisayu pawapikaniriti goseri aga, wamkaliriti Yesu toziya womberi wafiraga mpiya.
15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Yesu kawagambira, “Mwenga mlilanguziya waheri kulongolu kwa wantu, kumbiti Mlungu kayimana myoyu yenu. Kwa shintu shilii shashiwoneka shana mana nkulu kulongolu kwa wantu, Mlungu kashiwona kuwera shinyankalika.
16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
“Lilagaliru lya Musa na malembu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu gaweriti mpaka shipindi sha Yohani Mbatiza, kwanjira palii Visoweru viwagila vya Ufalumi wa Mlungu wankubwerwa, su kila muntu kankwingira kwa makakala.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Kumbiti ndo ikamala ndiri kumpindi na pasi panu kwagamira kuliku lilembu lididini lya Lilagaliru kuliwusiya.
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband committeth adultery.
“Muntu yoseri pakamleka mdala gwakuwi na kuyuga mdala gwingi katenda uhumba, na muntu pakamuyuga mdala yawamlekiti viraa katenda uhumba.
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
“Paweriti na muntu yumu yakaweriti mlundamali, yakavaliti nguwu zya beyi nkulu nentu na kaweriti kankubojola mashaka goseri.
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Vilaa vilii kuweriti muntu muhushu yawamshema Lazaru, yakaweriti na vironda nshimba yoseri, mweni kalikaliti pamlyagu gwa mlundamali.
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
Pakafira kuliya masigalu ga viboga vyavitulukiriti pasi pameza pa mlundamali. Ata wang'ang'a wiziti na kulambita vironda vyakuwi!
22 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;
“Muhushu pakahowiti kala, wantumintumi wa kupindi wamtoliti na kumtula pakwegera na Aburahamu mumsambu kulaa kumpindi. Na mlundamali kahowiti viraa na wamsira,
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
na kagenda pahala yapaweriti kwana ntabiku nentu mulirindi lyalihera upeleru, na pakaloliti kamwoniti Aburahamu kwa kutali pamuhera na Lazaru kapakwegera. (Hadēs g86)
24 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.
Su kanjiti kushema, ‘Tati Aburahamu! Nyagu gumoneri lusungu bamu. Gumtumi Lazaru kajobi shala shakuwi mumashi, kizi kaluzizimisiyi lulimi lwangu, toziya nulikala mundabiku nentu mumotu amu!’
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
“Kumbiti Aburahamu kamgambira, ‘Guliholi mwana gwangu paguweriti gwamkomu gupatiti vintu vyoseri viherepa, kumbiti Lazaru kapatiti vintu vidoda vyoseri. Kumbiti vinu kankunemelera panu, na gwenga gwankutabika.
26 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 thence.
Pamuwera na goseri aga, pakati petu panu kwana lirindi likulu nentu, su kwa woseri yawafira kwiza kwa twenga hapeni wawezi, ama kwahera muntu yakaweza kulawa kwenu kwiza uganu ama kwa twenga kwiza kwa mwenga.’
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:
Mlundamali kalonga, ‘Nyagu nukuluwa tati Aburahamu, gumtumi Lazaru kagendi ukaya kwa tati gwangu,
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
kwana walongu wangu wamuhanu. Kagendi kawaberiziyi nawiza uganu panu pahala pa ndabiku.’
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
“Aburahamu kamuwankula, ‘Kwa walongu waku kwana malembu ga Musa na malembu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu hagawaberiziyi, walongu waku wafiruwa wagapikaniri ntambu yagawagambira.’
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
Mlundamali kamwankula, ‘Tati Aburahamu, itosha ndiri! Kumbiti pakazyuka muntu kwawu kulawa kwa wahowiti na kuwagendera, hawampikiniri na kuleka vidoda vyawatenda.’
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Kumbiti Aburahamu kamgambira, ‘Pawagapikanira ndiri malembu ga Musa na malembu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu, hapeni wajimili ata muntu pakazyuka.’”
