Luka 16
1 Yesu kuru a woro nono katwa me, “Umong unan nikurfung wadi nin nang tamani me, ida belinghe unang yeujun ntamanie din nanzu unis.
And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods.
2 Unan nikurfughe yicila ghe aworoghe, 'I yanghari ndin lanze litife? Daa uda nyii kibatiza nimon ile na nwa nili uyenje bana na fe unit ucineari ba.'
And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.
3 Unan yenjughe ntamane woro letime, 'I yanghari mbati nin litining, I yanghari mba ti, bara na cikilari nighe ma kalu katwa kane nacara nighe? Na indi nin likava mawuzu wuzu ba, tutung indi lanzu incin kufili.
And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4 In yiru imon ile na mba ti, bara na lwa kala katwa kane nacara nighe, anit ma sesui ngamine.'
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 Unan yeujun ntamane yicila vat nale na cikilare din durtu nami tire, anin tirino unan burne, 'Imashinari cikilare din durtu fi?'
And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
6 A woro, 'A mudu akut likure nnuf kuca.' Anin waroghe 'Soo mas, kibatiza fe kaa, u nyertin akut ataun.'
And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty.
7 Unang yeuju ntamane woro mmong, 'I mashinari idin durtufi?' A woro, 'A mudu akut likure nialkama.' A woroghe 'Kibatiza fe kanga yertina akut likure sa aba.'
Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore.
8 Unan nikurfughe taghe njah bara na awa su katwa me caut ba, bara na nono nyii ulele di nin nibinai nsu nimon icine bara anit mime ba na nafo nonon nkananghe di. (aiōn g165)
And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 In belin fi, pizira adondong bara litife nin nimon nyii, bara I wa nyaa ima pirizin fi nanya nilari mi ne. (aiōnios g166)
And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
10 Ule na adi nin yinnu-sa-uyenu nanya nimon baat ade nin yinnu-sa-uyenu nanya ni dya, ule na adi nin salin yinnu-sa-uyenu nanya ni baat na ama yitu nin yinnu-sa-uyenu nanya nimon idya ba.
He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much.
11 Bara nani, andi na udi nin yinna-sa-uyenu nimoon inyii ba, ghari ba yinnu ninfi nin nimoon kidegene?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
12 Nanere, andi na udi nin yinnu-sa-uyenu kitene kuturan mong ba, ghari ma nifi ile na idi infe?
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
13 Na kucin wasaa amyino an cin nilara naba kubi kurume ba, sa a ma nari umong ati usun mmong, sa a su umong katwa amari usun mmong, na u wasa usu Kutelle licin nin tamani kubi kurume ba.”
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. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Afarsayawe na i wadi anam su nikurfunghari, I lanza ule ulire vat, itunna nsisu ghe.
And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him.
15 A woro nani, “Idin suzu kidegen mine niyizi nanitari, bara nani Kutelle yiru nibinai mine. Ileli imon na idin ruu ining idi zemzem nizi Kutelle.
And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Uduka nin nanan liru nin nuu Kutelle wa di, Yohana nin daa. Unuzun koni kubi udu sa ligang, uliru Kutelle idim belun nin, vat nanit din shoo ati nanya ti bau ti bau.
The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.
17 Bara nani ukatin nin sauki nworu kitene kani nin kadas kata nin waru fiyert firum nanyan nliru me ikala sa uti kinuu.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
18 Vatin nlenge na akoo uwani me ayira umong adin nozu nin na wani ahem, nanere uwani ule na akoo ules me aminin di yira umong adin nozu nin les uhem.
Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.
19 Umong unan nikurfung wa duku na iwa shonghe imoon icine anin din lanzun mmang vat liri nanya ntamani udya.
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:
20 Umong unan kufilli nunnu kibulung me nin nanut kidowo me.
and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 A wadin su a li mbubun nimon li na idin disu kuteen, banin nani, ninau nin din lelu anut kidowo me.
and desiring to be fed with the [crumbs] that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Usuo inlong liyiri unam kufille kuu anan kadura Kutelle da yiraghe udu abunu Ibrahim. Unam nikurfughe wang kuu ikasaghe.
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.
And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 A fiya liwai me aworo, 'Ibrahim ucif lanza nkune-kune ning utuu Liazaru ku, a diti liyicin me nanyan myen adak ada tii limila cancam, indin niu namyan nla ulele.'
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 in anguish in this flame.
25 Bara nani Ibrahim woro, 'Gono kubin laife uwa seru imon icine nlaife, Liazaru sere imon inanzang. Bara nani itaghe insheu kibinai kikane, fe tutung uniu.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish.
26 Banin nani kuwu kudya nkese nari bara na alenge na ima kafinu udu kiti fe na iwasa i kafina ba, a na umong wasa a kafina udak kiti bite ba.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they which would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.
27 Unan nikurfughe woro, 'Ndin foo fi nacara, Ibrahim ucif. U tuughe udun ngan cif nighe.
And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house;
28 Bara na idi nin nwana inung nataun bara anan wunno nani atuf, bara iwa dak imus kitin niu kaane tutung.'
for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Bara nani Ibrahim woro, 'Idi nin Musa nan nanan liru nin nuu Kutelle; na ilanza nani.'
But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 Unan nikurfunghe kpana aworo, 'na nanere ba, Ibrahim ucif, bara nani iwase umong ulenge na aba du kitimene nanya nabi, I ma kpiliu nibinai mine.'
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Bara nani Ibrahim woroghe, 'Andi na ima lanzu Musa ku nan nanan liru nin nuu Kutelle ba, na ima lanzu umong tutung ba sa afita nanya nani.'”
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.
