Luka 16
1 A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, “Ashinkupagwa tajili jumo na nyapala jwakwe. Tajili jula ashinkulugulilwa, kuti nyapala jwabho anatapanya indu yabho.
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 Tajili jula gwanshemile, nikummuya, ‘Indu yashi yako ugwe ingupilikanai? Utende malonda ga indu yangu yuposhele na yulile, pabha ukaapinjikwa kubha nyapala kabhili.’
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 Nyapala jula gwaganishiye, ‘Bhakulungwa bhangu bhanaminga liengo lya unyapala, shindende bhuli? Nangali mashili ga lima, pita juga ngunakola oni.
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 Elo, nishimanyi sha tenda nkupinga pushimingwe liengopo, bhandunji bhanjemelanje kunngwabhonji.’”
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 “Bhai, gwabhashemilenje jumo jumo, bhakwetenje magambo bhowe kubhakulungwa bhakwe, gwammushiye jwa ntai jula, ‘Yukulongwa na bhakulungwa ilingwa?’
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 Jwalakwe gwajangwile, ‘Nndobho 180 ya mauta ga sheituni.’ Nyapala jula gwannugulile, ‘Tola shipande sha ligambo lyako, shangu ujandishe nndobho makumi tisha.’
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 Na gwammushiye akwete ligambo jwa bhili, ‘Ugwe ulongwa nndi?’ Jwalakwe gwajangwile, ‘Magunia 1,000 ga ngano.’ Nyapala jula gwannugulile, ‘Tola shipande sha ligambo lyako, shangu ujandishe magunia mia nane.’”
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 Bhai tajili jula gwannumbilile nyapala jula, kwa penya kwakwe. Pabha bhandunji bha pa shilambolyo pano bhanapenyanga pubhatendanga indu na ashaajabhonji, kupunda bhandunji bha Upalume gwa a Nnungu. (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 Na bhalabho a Yeshu gubhapundile kubheleketa, “Na nne ngunakummalanjilanga, mpanganje mbwiga na bhandunji kwa mali ga pa shilambolyo, nkupinga gamalaga, mposhelwanje kundamo ja pitipiti. (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 Jojowe shakulupalilwe kwa indu yaishoko, shakulupalilwe nkali kwa indu yaikulungwa, na jojowe akaakulupalika kwa indu yaishoko, akaakulupalika nkali kwa indu yaikulungwa.
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 Bhai ibhaga, mmanganya nkakulupalikanje kwa mali ga pa shilambolyo, gani shampanganje mali ga kweli?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 Na nkakulupalikanje kwa mali gaka mundu juna, gani shankamuyanje mali genunji mwaashayene?
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 “Jwakwapi ntumishi akombola kwaatumishilanga bhakulungwanji bhabhili, pabha shanshime jumo nikumpinga junajo, eu shanng'ishimiye jumo na junajo nikunnyegaya. Nkakombolanga kwaatumishila a Nnungu pamo na mali.”
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 Ashimapalishayo bhalinginji bhaapinganga mmbiya, bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhaeshilenje nkwaanyegaya.
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15 A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmanganya nnakwitendanga nkwetenje aki pa bhandu, ikabheje a Nnungu bhajimanyi mitima jenunji, pabha shene shibhoneka sha mmbone kubhandu, a Nnungu pubhakushibhona sha bhiyabhiya.
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 “Shalia na ashinkulondola, yaapali mpaka malanga ga a Yowana Bhabhatisha. Kutandubhila penepo, ngani ja mmbone ja Upalume gwa a Nnungu jinalunguywa, na kila mundu anakwiijinjiya kwa mashili.
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.
17 Ikabheje ikakola ukomu kunnungu na shilambolyo kupita, kupunda nkali shipande shishoko sha Shalia kushoywa.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one pronunciation mark of the law to fail.
18 “Jojowe akunneka nkagwe nilomba juna, analabhalabha, na jojowe ankunnomba jwankongwe aleshilwe, analabhalabha.”
Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery.
19 Ashinkupagwa mundu jumo tajili, awalaga nngubho ya mmbiya yaigwinji ya langi ja shambalau na ya kitani ja takata, alipoka mobha gowe.
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 Na pannango gwakwe atendaga tama nkulaga jumo, lina lyakwe Lashalo, akwete ilonda shiilu showe.
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 Lashalo atendaga lokolila malepei gaagwaga pa mesha jika tajili jula, nkali mbwa yatendaga kwiya kunnambanga ilonda yakwe!
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 Bhai nkulaga jula akuwaga, ashimalaika bha kunnungu gubhantolilenje, nikwenda kummika pubhaliji a Bhulaimu. Na tajili na jwalakwe gwawile, nishikwa.
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 Tajili jula ali mmboteko ya punda kundamo ja bhawilenje, gwajinwile meyo, gwabhabhweni a Bhulaimu kwataliya bhali nagwe Lashalo, (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 Bhai, gwabhashemile kwa utiya, “Ambuje a Bhulaimu, mmonele shiya, muntume Lashalojo kapela shikowe ashubhishe mmashi, andolishiye nnulimi lwangu, pabha ngunapotekwa kwa kaje pamoto pano.”
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 Ikabheje a Bhulaimu gubhajangwile, “Kumbushila mwanangu, kuti ugwe ushinkupoka nndamo jako, na Lashaloju ashinkulaga. Ikabheje nnaino, jwalakwe anapoka na ugwe unapotekwa kwa kaje.
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 Kupunda genego, pakatipakati jetu uwe na mmanganya, lishibhikwa liimbo likulungwa, nkupinga bhapinganga kwiya kunngwenunji kukoposhela akuno bhanakombolanje, na bhapinganga kwiya kwetu uwe kukoposhela kweneko bhanakombolanje.”
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 Tajili jula gwashite, “Bhai ambuje a Bhulaimu, shonde bhai muntume Lashalo ajende kulikaja lya atati,
Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house:
28 pabha njikola ashapwanga nng'ano, akaalungushiyanje nkupinga bhanaikangane kumboteko kuno.”
For I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Ikabheje a Bhulaimu gubhajangwile, “Ashapwako bhakwetenje a Musha na ashinkulondola, bhaapilikalanje bhanganyabho.”
Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 Ikabheje na jwalakwe gwashite kabhili, “Nngabha nneyo ambuje a Bhulaimu, ikabhe mundu ayukaga nikwaajendelanga, shibhaipetanje.”
And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Na bhalabho a Bhulaimu gubhajangwile, “Ibhaga bhakaapilikanilanje a Musha na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, bhakakundanga nkali mundu akayushile.”
And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
