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.
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.
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.'
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.’
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.
“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.
4 In yiru imon ile na mba ti, bara na lwa kala katwa kane nacara nighe, anit ma sesui ngamine.'
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, 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?'
Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
6 A woro, 'A mudu akut likure nnuf kuca.' Anin waroghe 'Soo mas, kibatiza fe kaa, u nyertin akut ataun.'
He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, 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 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.’
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)
“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)
9 In belin fi, pizira adondong bara litife nin nimon nyii, bara I wa nyaa ima pirizin fi nanya nilari mi ne. (aiōnios g166)
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)
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 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.
11 Bara nani, andi na udi nin yinna-sa-uyenu nimoon inyii ba, ghari ba yinnu ninfi nin nimoon kidegene?
If therefore you 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?
If you 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. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
14 Afarsayawe na i wadi anam su nikurfunghari, I lanza ule ulire vat, itunna nsisu ghe.
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also 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.
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 amongst 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 Torah and the Prophets were until Yochanan. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way 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 tiny stroke of a pen in the Torah to become void.
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.
“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits 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, living in luxury every day.
20 Umong unan kufilli nunnu kibulung me nin nanut kidowo me.
A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to 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. Yes, 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.
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
In Sheol, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at 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.'
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 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.
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.
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.’
27 Unan nikurfughe woro, 'Ndin foo fi nacara, Ibrahim ucif. U tuughe udun ngan cif nighe.
“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would 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 brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t 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 said to him, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets. Let them listen to 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.'
“He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes 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.'”
“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.’”
