Luke 16
1 He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
Ó sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú pé, “Ọkùnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ kan wà, tí ó ní ìríjú kan; òun náà ni wọ́n fi sùn ún pé, ó ti ń fi ohun ìní rẹ̀ ṣòfò.
2 He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
Nígbà tí ó sì pè é, ó wí fún un pé, ‘Èéṣe tí èmi fi ń gbọ́ èyí sí ọ? Ṣírò iṣẹ́ ìríjú rẹ; nítorí ìwọ kò lè ṣe ìríjú mi mọ́.’
3 “The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
“Ìríjú náà sì wí nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, ‘Èwo ni èmi ó ṣe? Nítorí tí olúwa mi gba iṣẹ́ ìríjú lọ́wọ́ mi: èmi kò le ṣiṣẹ́ oko, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ojú ń tì mí láti ṣagbe.
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
Mo mọ èyí tí èmi yóò ṣe, nígbà tí a bá mú mi kúrò níbi iṣẹ́ ìríjú, kí àwọn ènìyàn le gbà mí sínú ilé wọn.’
5 Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
“Ó sì pe àwọn ajigbèsè olúwa rẹ̀ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún èkínní pé, ‘Èló ni ìwọ jẹ olúwa mi?’
6 He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
“Ó sì wí pé, ‘Ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀rún òsùwọ̀n òróró.’ “Ó sì wí fún un pé, ‘Mú ìwé rẹ, sì jókòó nísinsin yìí, kí o sì kọ àádọ́ta lé ní irinwó.’
7 Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
“Nígbà náà ni ó sì bi ẹnìkejì pé, ‘Èló ni ìwọ jẹ?’ “Òun sì wí pé, ‘Ẹgbẹ̀rún òsùwọ̀n alikama.’ “Ó sì wí fún un pé, ‘Mú ìwé rẹ, kí o sì kọ ẹgbẹ̀rin.’
8 “His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light. (aiōn g165)
“Olúwa rẹ̀ sì yin aláìṣòótọ́ ìríjú náà, nítorí tí ó fi ọgbọ́n ṣe é, àwọn ọmọ ayé yìí sá à gbọ́n ní ìran wọn ju àwọn ọmọ ìmọ́lẹ̀ lọ. (aiōn g165)
9 I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (aiōnios g166)
Èmi sì wí fún yín, ẹ fi ọrọ̀ ayé yìí yan ọ̀rẹ́ fún ara yín pé, nígbà tí o ba lọ, kí wọn kí ó le gbà yín sí ibùjókòó wọn títí ayé. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
“Ẹni tí ó bá ṣe olóòtítọ́ nínú ohun kínkínní, ó ṣe olóòtítọ́ ní púpọ̀ pẹ̀lú: ẹni tí ó bá sì ṣe aláìṣòótọ́ ní ohun kínkínní, ó ṣe aláìṣòótọ́ ní ohun púpọ̀ pẹ̀lú.
11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Ǹjẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin kò bá ti jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ nínú ọrọ̀ ayé yìí, ta ni yóò fi ọ̀rọ̀ tòótọ́ fún yín?
12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
Bí ẹ̀yin kò bá sì ti jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ nínú ohun tí í ṣe ti ẹlòmíràn, ta ni yóò fún yín ní ohun tí í ṣe ti ẹ̀yin tìkára yín?
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
“Kò sì í ẹnìkan tí ó lè sin ọ̀gá méjì. Òun yóò yà kórìíra ọ̀kan tí yóò fẹ́ràn èkejì, tàbí kí ó fi ara mọ́ ọ̀kan kí ó sì yan èkejì ní ìpọ̀sí. Ẹ̀yin kò lè sin Ọlọ́run àti owó papọ̀.”
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
Àwọn Farisi, tí wọ́n ní ojúkòkòrò sì gbọ́ gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí, wọ́n sì yọ ṣùtì sí i.
15 He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ni àwọn tí ń dá àre fún ara yín níwájú ènìyàn; ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run mọ ọkàn yín, nítorí ohun ti a gbéga lójú ènìyàn, ìríra ni níwájú Ọlọ́run.
16 “The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
“Òfin àti àwọn wòlíì ń bẹ títí di ìgbà Johanu, Láti ìgbà náà wá ni a ti ń wàásù ìròyìn ayọ̀ ìjọba Ọlọ́run, olúkúlùkù sì ń fi ipá wọ inú rẹ̀.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó rọrùn fún ọ̀run òun ayé láti kọjá lọ, ju kí èyí tí ó kéré jù nínú òfin kí ó yẹ.
18 “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
“Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ aya rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, tí ó sì gbé ẹlòmíràn ní ìyàwó, ó ṣe panṣágà: ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sì gbé, ẹni tí ọkọ rẹ̀ kọ̀sílẹ̀ ní ìyàwó náà, ó ṣe panṣágà.
19 “Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
“Ǹjẹ́ ọkùnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ kan wà, tí ó ń wọ aṣọ elése àlùkò àti aṣọ àlà dáradára, a sì máa jẹ dídùndídùn lójoojúmọ́.
20 A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
Alágbe kan sì wà tí à ń pè ní Lasaru, tí wọ́n máa ń gbé wá kalẹ̀ lẹ́bàá ọ̀nà ilé rẹ̀, ó kún fún ooju,
21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
Òun a sì máa fẹ́ kí a fi èérún tí ó ti orí tábìlì ọlọ́rọ̀ bọ́ sílẹ̀ bọ́ òun, àwọn ajá sì wá, wọ́n sì fá a ní ooju lá.
22 The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
“Ó sì ṣe, alágbe kú, a sì ti ọwọ́ àwọn angẹli gbé e lọ sí oókan àyà Abrahamu: ọlọ́rọ̀ náà sì kú pẹ̀lú, a sì sin ín;
23 In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Ní ipò òkú ni ó gbé ojú rẹ̀ sókè, ó ń bẹ nínú ìjìyà oró, ó sì rí Abrahamu ní òkèrè, àti Lasaru ní oókan àyà rẹ̀. (Hadēs g86)
24 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 in anguish in this flame.’
Ó sì ké, ó wí pé, ‘Baba Abrahamu, ṣàánú fún mi, kí o sì rán Lasaru, kí ó tẹ orí ìka rẹ̀ bọ omi, kí ó sì fi tù mí ní ahọ́n; nítorí èmi ń joró nínú ọ̀wọ́n iná yìí.’
25 “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
“Ṣùgbọ́n Abrahamu wí pé, ‘Ọmọ, rántí pé, nígbà ayé rẹ, ìwọ ti gba ohun rere tìrẹ, àti Lasaru ohun búburú, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ara rọ̀ ọ́, ìwọ sì ń joró.
26 Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
Àti pẹ̀lú gbogbo èyí, a gbé ọ̀gbun ńlá kan sí agbede-méjì àwa àti ẹ̀yin, kí àwọn tí ń fẹ́ má ba á le rékọjá láti ìhín lọ sọ́dọ̀ yín, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má sì le ti ọ̀hún rékọjá tọ̀ wá wá.’
27 “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
“Ó sì wí pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ mo bẹ̀ ọ́, baba, kí ìwọ kí ó rán Lasaru lọ sí ilé baba mi,
28 for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
nítorí mo ní arákùnrin márùn-ún; kí ó lè rò fún wọn kí àwọn kí ó má ba á wá sí ibi oró yìí pẹ̀lú.’
29 “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
“Abrahamu sì wí fún un pé, ‘Wọ́n ní Mose àti àwọn wòlíì; kí wọn kí ó gbọ́ tiwọn.’
30 “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
“Ó sì wí pé, ‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, Abrahamu baba; ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnìkan bá ti inú òkú tọ̀ wọ́n lọ, wọn ó ronúpìwàdà.’
31 “He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
“Ó sì wí fún un pé, ‘Bí wọn kò bá gbọ́ ti Mose àti ti àwọn wòlíì, a kì yóò yí wọn ní ọkàn padà bí ẹnìkan tilẹ̀ ti inú òkú dìde.’”
