Luke 16
1 [Jesus] also said to his disciples, “Once there was a rich man who had a household manager. [One day] he was told {[someone] told him} that [the manager] was managing the rich man’s money badly.
A OLELO mai la o Iesu i kana mau haumana, O kekahi kanaka waiwai he puuku kana; a ua haiia ia ia na puuku la i kona hokai ana i kana waiwai.
2 So he summoned [his manager] and said to him, ‘(It is terrible what they are saying about you [(sg)]!/Is it true what they are saying about you [(sg)] [RHQ]?) Give me a written account of [the funds] you have been managing, because you can no longer be my [household] manager!’
A kii aku la oia ia ia, i aku la ia ia, Heaha keia a'u i lohe iho nei ia oe? E hoike mai oe i kou malama ana, no ka mea, aole oe e puuku hou aku.
3 Then the manager thought to himself, ‘My master is going to fire me, so (I do not know what to do./what shall I do [RHQ]?) I am not strong enough to [work by] digging ditches, and I am ashamed to beg [for money].’
I iho la ka puuku ia ia iho, Pehea la wau e hana'i? No ka mea, e lawo ana kuu haku i ka puuku mai o'u aku nei; aole hiki ia'u ke mahi, a hilahila no wau i ko noi.
4 [Suddenly he had an idea]. ‘I know what I will do, so that people will take me into their houses [and provide for me] after I am dismissed {after my master dismisses me} from my work!’
Ua ike au i ka'u mea e hana aku ai, i hookipa kokahi poe ia'u i ko lakou mau hale, i ka wa e hemo aku ai ko'u puuku.
5 So [one by one] he summoned the people who owed his master money. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you [(sg)] owe my master?’
A kii aku la ia i kela mea aie keia mea aie a kona haku, ninau aku la oia i kekahi, Pehea ka nui o kau aie i kuu haku?
6 The man replied, ‘Eight hundred gallons of olive oil.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill and sit down and quickly change it to 400 [gallons]!’
Hai mai la hoi ia, Hookahi haneri bato aila. A i aku la oia ia ia, E lawe oe i kau palapala, a noho koke iho oe e kakau i kanalima.
7 He said to another man, ‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A thousand bushels of wheat.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill and change it to 800 [bushels]!’ [He did similar things for the others who owed his master money].
Alaila ninau aku la oia i kekahi, Pehea la ka nui o kau aie? A hai mai la ia, Hookahi haneri homera hua palaoa. I aku la hoi oia ia ia, E lawe i kau palapala, a e kakau iho i kanawalu.
8 When his master [heard what the manager had done], he admired the dishonest manager for the clever thing he had done. [The truth] is that the ungodly people in this world act more wisely toward other people than godly people [MET] act. (aiōn g165)
A mahalo iho la ua haku la i ka puuku pono ole, no kana hana akamai ana. Oia hoi, ua oi aku ke akamai o na keiki o neia ao i ka lakou hanauna mamua o ko na keiki o ka malamalama. (aiōn g165)
9 [So] I tell you [(pl)] this: Use the money that you have [here] on earth to help others so that they will become your friends. Then when [you die and] you cannot [take] any money with you, [God and his angels] will welcome you into a home [in heaven] that will last forever. (aiōnios g166)
Ke olelo aku nei no hoi au ia oukou, Me ka waiwai oiaio ole, e hoomakamaka ai oukou i mau makamaka no oukou, i hookipa lakou ia oukou iloko o na hale pau ole, i ka wa e haule ai oukou. (aiōnios g166)
10 People who faithfully manage small [matters] will also faithfully manage important [matters]. People who are dishonest in [the way they handle] small [matters] will be dishonest [in the way they handle] important [matters].
O ka mea i malama pono i ka mea uuku, oia ke malama pono i ka mea nui; a o ka mea i hana hewa ma ka mea uuku, oia hoi ke hana hewa ma ka mea nui.
11 So if you have not faithfully handled the money that [God has given you here] on earth, (he will certainly not allow you to possess the true [spiritual] riches [in heaven!]/would he allow you to possess the true [spiritual] riches [in heaven]?) [RHQ]
Nolaila, ina i ole oukou e malama pono i ka waiwai oiaio ole, nawai la e waiho ia oukou i ka waiwai oiaio?
12 And if you have not faithfully managed things that belong to other people, ([God] will certainly not allow you to receive [treasures in heaven that] would belong to you!/would God allow you to receive [treasures in heaven that] would belong to you?) [RHQ]
A ina i ole oukou i malama pono i ka hai waiwai, nawai la hoi e haawi i waiwai na oukou ponoi?
13 No servant is able to serve two [different] bosses [at the same time. If he tried to do that], he would prefer one of them more than the other one; he would be loyal to one of them and despise the other one. [Similarly], you cannot [devote your life] to worshipping God and [worshipping] money and material goods [at the same time].”
Aohe kauwa e hiki ke hookauwa na na haku elua; no ka mea, e hoowahawaha oia i kekahi me ka makemake i kekahi, a i ole ia, e hahai aku ia i kela, me ka haalele i keia. Aole hoi e hiki ia oukou ke hookauwa na ke Akua a me ka mamona.
14 There were some Pharisees [there]. They loved [to acquire] money. When they heard Jesus say that, they ridiculed him.
A lohe ae la na Parisaio ka poe puni waiwai i keia mau mea, henehene iho la lakou ia ia.
15 But he said to them, “You try to make other people think that you are righteous, but God knows your (inner beings/hearts). [So he will reject you. Keep in mind that many] things that people think are important, God thinks are detestable.
I mai la oia ia lakou, O oukou ka poe e hoopono ia oukou iho imua o na kanaka; aka, ua ike mai ke Akua i ko oukou mau naau, no ka mea, o kahi mea nani i kanaka, he ino ia imua o ke Akua.
16 The laws that [God gave Moses] and what the prophets [MTY] [wrote] were ([in effect/what you needed to obey]) until John [the Baptizer] came. Since then [I] have been preaching about how God wants to [rule people’s lives in a new way], and many people are [accepting that message and] very eagerly asking God to control [their lives. But that does not mean that God has abolished the laws that he established previously].
E mau mai ana ke kanawai a me ka poe kaula a hiki ia Ioane; a mai ia manawa mai, ua haiia'ku ke aupuni o ke Akua, a ma ka hoikaika loa, e komo ai na mea a pau.
17 [All of God’s] laws, [even those that seem] insignificant, are more permanent than heaven and earth.
E lilo ka lani a me ka honua mamua o ka haule ana o kekahi huna o ke kanawai.
18 [For example, because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery. He also [considers that] any man who marries a woman who has been divorced by her husband {whose husband has divorced her} is [also] committing adultery.”
O ka mea i hoohemo i kana wahine, a e mare aku hoi i kekahi, oia ke moe kolohe. A o ka mea i mare i ka wahine i hoohemoia, oia ke moe kolohe.
19 [Jesus also said] [MET], “Once there was a rich man who wore [expensive] purple linen [garments]. He ate luxuriously every day.
O kekahi kanaka waiwai ua aahuia i ka lole makue a me ka ie nani, ua ahaaina olioli ia i kela la i keia la.
20 And every day a poor man whose name was Lazarus was laid {[some people also] laid a poor man whose name was Lazarus} at the gate of the rich man’s [house]. Lazarus’ body was covered with sores.
A o kekahi kanaka ilihune, o Lazaro kona inoa, ua waihoia aku la ia ma kona ipuka, ua paapu i na mai hehe;
21 He [was so hungry that he] wanted to eat the scraps [of food] that fell from the table where the rich man [ate]. Furthermore, [to make things worse], dogs came and licked his sores.
E ake ia e hanaiia mai i na hunahuna i haule mai luna iho o ka papaaina o ua kauaka waiwai la. A hele mai hoi na ilio a palu iho la i kona mau mai.
22 [Eventually] the poor man died. Then he was taken by the angels {the angels took him} to [start feasting] next to his [ancestor] Abraham. The rich man also died, and his body was buried {[some people] buried his body}.
Eia hoi kekahi, make aku la ia kanaka ilihune, a laweia aku la oia e na anela ma ka poli o Aberahama; a make aku la hoi ua kanaka waiwai la, a kanuia iho la.
23 In the place where dead people wait [for God to judge them], he was suffering great pain. He looked up and saw Abraham far away, and he saw Lazarus sitting close to Abraham. (Hadēs g86)
A maloko o ka no oia i nana aku ai, me ka eha nui, ike aku la ia Aberahama i kahi loihi aku a me Lazaro ma kona poli; (Hadēs g86)
24 So he shouted, ‘Father Abraham, I am suffering very much in this fire! So [please] pity me, and send Lazarus [here] so that he can dip his finger in water [and touch] my tongue to cool it!’
A kahea aku la ia, i aku la, E ka makua, e Aberahama, e aloha mai oe ia'u, a e hoouna mai ia Lazaro e o iho ia i ka welau o kona manamana lima iloko o ka wai, a e hoomaalili mai i ko'u alelo; no ka mea, ua eha loa au iloko o keia lapalapa.
25 But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that while you [(sg)] were alive [on earth] you enjoyed [many] good things. But Lazarus was miserable. Now [it is fair that] he is happy here, and you are suffering.
Alaila i mai la o Aberahama, E ke keiki, e hoomanao oe, ua loaa ia oe kau mau mea maikai i kou wa e ola ana; a ia Lazaro hoi na mea ino. Ano hoi ua hooluoluia oia nei, a ua hoehaehaia hoi oe.
26 Besides that, there is a huge ravine between you [(sg)] and us. So those who want to go from here to where you [(sg)] are, are not able to. Furthermore, no one can cross from there to where we [(exc)] are.’
A he mea e ae no hoi, ua waihoia mai he awawa nui iwaena o makou a me oukou, i ole ai e hiki ka poe o manao ana e hele aku mai keia wahi aku io oukou la; ao ko laila poe aole e hiki ke hele mai io makou nei.
27 Then the rich man said, ‘If that is so, father [Abraham], I ask you [(sg)] to send [Lazarus] to my father’s house.
I aku la hoi oia, Nolaila ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ka makua, o hoouna oe ia ia i ka halo o ko'u makuakane;
28 I have five brothers [who live there]. Tell him to warn them [to turn away from their sinful behavior so that] they do not also come to this place, where [we(exc)] suffer great pain!’
No ka mea, ho mau hoahanau kano ko'u elima, e ao aku oia ia lakou, o hiki mai lakou i keia wahi eha.
29 But Abraham replied, ‘[No, I will not do that, because your brothers] are able to [go to the Jewish meeting places where the priests] read what Moses and the prophets [wrote]. They should listen to what Moses and the prophets [MTY] [wrote]!’
I mai la o Aberahama ia ia. Aia no hoi ia lakou o Moso a me ka poe kaula, i lohe lakou ia mau mea.
30 But the rich man replied, ‘No, father Abraham, [that will not be enough] But if someone from those who have died goes back to them [and warns them], they will turn from their sinful behavior.’
A i aku la oia, Aole, e ka makua, o Aberahama; aka, ina e hele aku kekahi mai waena aku o ka poe make, e mihi no lakou.
31 [Abraham] said to him, ‘No! If they do not listen to [what] [MTY] Moses and the prophets [MTY] [wrote], even if someone would become alive again [and go and warn them], they would not be convinced {he could not convince them} [that they should turn from their sinful behavior].’”
I mai la hoi oia ia ia, Ina i lohe ole lakou ia Mose a me ka poe kaula, aole no lakou e hoohuliia ke ala hou kekahi mai waena aku o ka poe make.
