Lukas 16
1 A PIL kotin masani ong tounpadak kan: Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a saunkoa men indandeki, a peitlakit a koa kapwa kan.
And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and this man was accused to him as squandering things possessed by him.
2 I ari eker dong i indang i: Iaduen ai rongadar duen koe? Kaineneta noum kisin likau duen om dodok! Pwe koe solar kak saunkoa.
And having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about thee? Render the account of thy management, for thou can no longer manage.
3 Saunkoa ap madamadaua indada: Da me i en wia, pwe ai monsap pan ki sang ia ai koa, nan i sota kak weweir, a poekipoeki me i namenokki.
And the manager said within himself, What shall I do because my lord takes away the management from me? I am not able to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 I ap asada, me i pan wia, i lao sapwilidi sang ai koa, pwe irail en kasamo ia long ong nan im ar akan.
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.
5 I ari ekeredo me pwaipwand ong a monsap, ap idok ren men mas: Da me om pwaipwand ong ai monsap?
And having summoned each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much do thou owe to my lord?
6 A inda: Potel en le epuki. A indai ong i: Ale noum puk mondi pitipit intingiedi me limeisok!
And he said, A hundred measures of olive oil. And he said to him, Receive thy document, and having sat down, quickly write fifty.
7 Ap pil indai ong amen: A koe, da me om pwaipwand? A inda: Kopa en wan korn epuki. A indang i: Ale noum puk intingiedi me waleisok!
Next he said to another, And how much do thou owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he says to him, Receive thy document, and write eighty.
8 Monsap ap kapinga saunkoa sapung, pweki a dodok lolekong. Pwe seri en sappa kan me lolekong ni song ar sang seri en marain akan. (aiōn g165)
And his lord commended the unrighteous manager because he did shrewdly. Because the sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 I ap indai ong komail, komail wia kompoke pamail ki mamon sapung pwe komail lao samamalar, ren kasamolong ong nan deu potopot. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, make friends for yourselves from the mammon of unrighteousness, so that, when ye cease, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 Meamen apwali mau me tikitik o, nan i me pil kin apwali mau me lapalap. A me kin sapung ni me tikitik o, nan i me pil sapung ni me toto.
The man faithful in the least is faithful also in much, and the man unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
11 Ma komail sota apwali mau pai pali pa, is me pan liki ong komail pai pali poa?
If therefore ye did not become faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you what is true?
12 O ma komail sota apwali mau en amen a kapwa, is me pan liki ong komail me udan omail?
And if ye did not become faithful in the alien, who will give thine to you?
13 Sota ladu men me pan kak papa saumas riamen; pwe a pan kailongki amen o pok ong me teio. De kasampwaleki amen o mamaleki me teio. Komail sota pan kak pariai pena Kot o mamon.
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Parisär akan, me kin pok ong moni, pil rongadar mepukat, ap kaurureki i.
And the Pharisees, being lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered him.
15 A kotin masani ong irail: Nan komail me kin akapungki pein komail ren aramas, a Kot kin mangi nan mongiong omail. Pwe me kasampwal ren aramas, kin me mal ren Kot.
And he said to them, Ye are those who declare yourselves righteous in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. Because what is lofty among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Kapung o saukop akan kokoper lel ni muein Ioanes. A sang ni ansau o rongamau en wein Kot kin lolok sili, a karos kin pedelongki manaman.
The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed good news, and every man in it is treated aggressively.
17 Nan me mongai, lang o sappa pan sorela, sang ekis kisan kapung en lokidokila.
But it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
18 Meamen kasela a paud, ap paudeki amen li, nan i me kamal, o meamen me paudekida me lokidokila sang ren ol amen, nan i me kamal.
Every man who divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery, and every man who marries her who has been divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a likau waitata o materok o a kin kamadip o peren ni ran karos.
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously daily.
20 O pil amen ol me samama, ad a Lasarus, me kin wonon pan wanim en ol kapwapwa o; a kensela kili karos.
But there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who had been placed near his gate, covered with sores,
21 Ap men tungole maremor akan, me kin pupedi ni tepel en me kapwapwa; a kidi kan kin tamotamo a kens akan.
and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. But even the dogs that came licked his sores.
22 A kadekadeo me samama o mela o tounlang kai ap wadala pon kapa en Apraam. A me kapwapwa o pil mela o saredier.
And it came to pass for the poor man to die and be carried by the agents to Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23 Ni a mi nan pweleko, wasan waiwairok, ap sarada, udial Apraam ni wasa doo o Lasarus mondi pon kapa, (Hadēs g86)
And having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus by his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ap likwirda indada: Sam (ai) Apraam, kom kotin kupura ia, poronedo Lasarus en kaduedi sondin pa a nan pil, ki ong pon lo i, pwe i kin waiwairok nani iai wet.
And having cried out, he said, Father Abraham, be merciful to me, and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame.
25 A Apraam kotin masani: Nai, tamanda, me koe tungoler om mau kan karos ni maur om, a Lasarus a me sued akan; ari a pan pereperenta, a koe pan kalokolok.
But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now here he is comforted and thou are in agony.
26 A pil eu me kawela, wau kalaimun eu mi nan pung atail, pwe ma amen kit men sapale wong re omail, a sota pan kak, pil sota amen komail pan kakedo.
And besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those here who want to cross over to you are not able, nor may those go across from there to us.
27 A ap inda: I ap men poeki, sam ai, komui en kotin poronelang Lasarus nan im en sam ai.
And he said, I beg thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father's house,
28 Pwe ri ai ol me limen, me a pan kaasaki irail; pwe ren de lel ong wasa apwal wet!
for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 A Apraam masani ong i: Moses o saukop akan mi re’rail, ren nok rong irail.
But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them.
30 A ol o potoan ong: Kaidin sam (ai) Apraam, a ma amen sang ren me melar akan pan pwara dong irail, rap pan kalula.
And he said, No, father Abraham, but if some man would go to them from the dead they will repent.
31 A ap masani ong i: Ma re sota pan rong Moses o saukop akan, re pil sota pan poson la, ma amen pan maureda sang ren me melar akan.
And he said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if some man would rise from the dead.
