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 his disciples, 'A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering 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 having called him, he said to him, What [is] this I hear about thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest not any longer be 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 in himself, What shall I do, because my lord doth take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, 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 have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to 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 having called near each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much dost thou owe to 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 baths of oil; and he said to him, Take thy bill, and having sat down 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.'
'Afterward to another he said, And thou, how much dost thou owe? and he said, A hundred cors of wheat; and he saith to him, Take thy 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)
'And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light, in respect to their generation. (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 to you, Make to yourselves friends out of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when ye may fail, they may receive you to the age-during 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 who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;
11 Bara nani, andi na udi nin yinna-sa-uyenu nimoon inyii ba, ghari ba yinnu ninfi nin nimoon kidegene?
if, then, in the unrighteous mammon ye became not faithful — the true who will entrust to you?
12 Nanere, andi na udi nin yinnu-sa-uyenu kitene kuturan mong ba, ghari ma nifi ile na idi infe?
and if in the other's ye became not faithful — your own, who shall give to you?
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 domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able to serve God and mammon.'
14 Afarsayawe na i wadi anam su nikurfunghari, I lanza ule ulire vat, itunna nsisu ghe.
And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding 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 to them, 'Ye are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because that which among men is high, [is] abomination before 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 [are] till John; since then the reign of God is proclaimed good news, and every one doth press 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.
and it is easier to the heaven and the earth to pass away, than of the law one tittle 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 who is sending away his wife, and marrying another, doth commit adultery; and every one who is marrying her sent away from a husband doth commit adultery.
19 Umong unan nikurfung wa duku na iwa shonghe imoon icine anin din lanzun mmang vat liri nanya ntamani udya.
'And — a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,
20 Umong unan kufilli nunnu kibulung me nin nanut kidowo me.
and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, 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 filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming, were licking 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 poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham — and the rich man also died, and was buried;
and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see 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 having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed 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.
'And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive — thou — thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;
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 besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from hence unto you are not able, nor do they from thence to us pass through.
27 Unan nikurfughe woro, 'Ndin foo fi nacara, Ibrahim ucif. U tuughe udun ngan cif nighe.
'And he said, I pray thee, then, father, that thou mayest send him to the house of my father,
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, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
29 Bara nani Ibrahim woro, 'Idi nin Musa nan nanan liru nin nuu Kutelle; na ilanza nani.'
'Abraham saith to him, 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, No, father Abraham, but if any one from the dead may go unto them, they will reform.
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 to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be persuaded.'
