Lucas 16
1 Y penaba tambien á desqueres discipules: Sinaba manu balbalo, sos terelaba queresquero; y ocona sinaba acusado anglal de ó, de haber nicobado desquero parné.
[Jesus] also said to his disciples, “Once there was a rich man who had a household manager. [One day] he was told {[someone] told him} that [the manager] was managing the rich man’s money badly.
2 Y le araqueró, y le penó: ¿Que sinela ma junelo penar de tucue? din pista de tiri queresqueria: presas acana n’astis que sineles queresquero de mangue butér.
So he summoned [his manager] and said to him, ‘(It is terrible what they are saying about you [(sg)]!/Is it true what they are saying about you [(sg)] [RHQ]?) Give me a written account of [the funds] you have been managing, because you can no longer be my [household] manager!’
3 Entonces penó o queresquero andré sí: ¿Que querelaré, presas minrio Erañó ustilela de mangue a queresqueria? Cavar na terelo silas, mangar terelo verguenza.
Then the manager thought to himself, ‘My master is going to fire me, so (I do not know what to do./what shall I do [RHQ]?) I am not strong enough to [work by] digging ditches, and I am ashamed to beg [for money].’
4 Chanelo ma me jomte querelar, somia que pur sinare nicobada a queresqueria, ustilelen mangue andré desqueres queres.
[Suddenly he had an idea]. ‘I know what I will do, so that people will take me into their houses [and provide for me] after I am dismissed {after my master dismisses me} from my work!’
5 Araqueró pues á cata yeque es deudores de desquero erañoró, y penó al brotoro: ¿Quanto debisarelas á minrio Erañoró?
So [one by one] he summoned the people who owed his master money. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you [(sg)] owe my master?’
6 Y ocona le rudeló: Cien pigotes de ampio: y le penó: Ustilela tiro por: y bestelate yescotria, y libana cinquenta.
The man replied, ‘Eight hundred gallons of olive oil.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill and sit down and quickly change it to 400 [gallons]!’
7 Despues penó á aver: ¿Y tucue quanto debisarelas? Y ó rudeló: Cien melales de gi. Penó: Ustilela tiri papiri, y libana ochenta.
He said to another man, ‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A thousand bushels of wheat.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill and change it to 800 [bushels]!’ [He did similar things for the others who owed his master money].
8 Y loó ó erañó al queresquero choro, presas queró saro cuerdamente: presas os chai de ocona gré chanelan butér andré su beda, que os chai e dut. (aiōn g165)
When his master [heard what the manager had done], he admired the dishonest manager for the clever thing he had done. [The truth] is that the ungodly people in this world act more wisely toward other people than godly people [MET] act. (aiōn g165)
9 Menda sangue penelo: Que quereleis monres es manchines e choripen; somia que pur perareis, ustilelen sangue andré eternos querés. (aiōnios g166)
[So] I tell you [(pl)] this: Use the money that you have [here] on earth to help others so that they will become your friends. Then when [you die and] you cannot [take] any money with you, [God and his angels] will welcome you into a home [in heaven] that will last forever. (aiōnios g166)
10 O sos sinelo lacho andré o mendesquero, lo sinela tambien andré o mas baro; o sos sinela choro andré frimi, tambien sinela choro andré baribu.
People who faithfully manage small [matters] will also faithfully manage important [matters]. People who are dishonest in [the way they handle] small [matters] will be dishonest [in the way they handle] important [matters].
11 Pues si andré manchines chores na sinasteis fieles: ¿coin á sangue fiará ma sinelo chirdino.
So if you have not faithfully handled the money that [God has given you here] on earth, (he will certainly not allow you to possess the true [spiritual] riches [in heaven!]/would he allow you to possess the true [spiritual] riches [in heaven]?) [RHQ]
12 Y si na sinasteis fieles andré ma de aver: ¿ma sinela jire coin á sangue lo diñará.
And if you have not faithfully managed things that belong to other people, ([God] will certainly not allow you to receive [treasures in heaven that] would belong to you!/would God allow you to receive [treasures in heaven that] would belong to you?) [RHQ]
13 Ningun lacró astisarela servir á dui erañés: presas el ó na camelará á yeque, y camelará al aver: ó a ocona bigorelará, y al aver despreciará: n’astis servir á Debél, y al jayere.
No servant is able to serve two [different] bosses [at the same time. If he tried to do that], he would prefer one of them more than the other one; he would be loyal to one of them and despise the other one. [Similarly], you cannot [devote your life] to worshipping God and [worshipping] money and material goods [at the same time].”
14 Tami os Phariseyes, sos sinaban cascañés, junelando sarias oconas buchias, girelaban.
There were some Pharisees [there]. They loved [to acquire] money. When they heard Jesus say that, they ridiculed him.
15 Y les penó: Sangue sinelais junos sos os binelais por laches anglal es manuces: Tami Debél: pincharela jires carles: presas ma os manuces terelan por udscho, sinela choro anglal de Debél.
But he said to them, “You try to make other people think that you are righteous, but God knows your (inner beings/hearts). [So he will reject you. Keep in mind that many] things that people think are important, God thinks are detestable.
16 A Eschastra, y os Prophetas disde Juan: desde entonces sinela pucanado o chim de Debél: y os sares querelan sila contra ó.
The laws that [God gave Moses] and what the prophets [MTY] [wrote] were ([in effect/what you needed to obey]) until John [the Baptizer] came. Since then [I] have been preaching about how God wants to [rule people’s lives in a new way], and many people are [accepting that message and] very eagerly asking God to control [their lives. But that does not mean that God has abolished the laws that he established previously].
17 Buchi facil butér najarse o Charos y a pu, que perar yeque buchi e Eschastra.
[All of God’s] laws, [even those that seem] insignificant, are more permanent than heaven and earth.
18 Saro manu sos mequela desqueri romi, y ustilela aver, querela adulterio, y tambien ó sos se romandiñela con la sos bucharó o rom, querela adulterio.
[For example, because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery. He also [considers that] any man who marries a woman who has been divorced by her husband {whose husband has divorced her} is [also] committing adultery.”
19 Sinaba manu balbalo, sos se vistió de lalané y de bostan lacho, lacho: y cata chibes terelaba jachipenes jucales.
[Jesus also said] [MET], “Once there was a rich man who wore [expensive] purple linen [garments]. He ate luxuriously every day.
20 Y sinaba oté yeque choro hetó Lazaro, sos yacia al bundal e balbalo; perdo de merdés.
And every day a poor man whose name was Lazarus was laid {[some people also] laid a poor man whose name was Lazarus} at the gate of the rich man’s [house]. Lazarus’ body was covered with sores.
21 Camelando marar sun boquis de las bedoras, que peraban de la mensalle e balbalo, y cayque se las diñaba, tami abillaban os chuqueles, y le lamian as merdés.
He [was so hungry that he] wanted to eat the scraps [of food] that fell from the table where the rich man [ate]. Furthermore, [to make things worse], dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Y anacó que pur meró ocola chororo lo lligueráron os Manfarieles al chepo de Abraham. Y meró tambien o balbalo, y sinaba bucharado andré benguistano.
[Eventually] the poor man died. Then he was taken by the angels {the angels took him} to [start feasting] next to his [ancestor] Abraham. The rich man also died, and his body was buried {[some people] buried his body}.
23 Y ardiñelando as aquias, pur sinaba andré os jacháres, diqueló de muy dur á Abraham, y á Lazaro andré desquero chepo: (Hadēs g86)
In the place where dead people wait [for God to judge them], he was suffering great pain. He looked up and saw Abraham far away, and he saw Lazarus sitting close to Abraham. (Hadēs g86)
24 Y ó, á gole, gole, penó: Batico Abraham, terela canrea de mangue: y bichabela á Lazaro, que mojisarele o vuque de sun angusti en pani, somia jilar á minri chipe, presas sinelo jurepenado andré ocona yaque.
So he shouted, ‘Father Abraham, I am suffering very much in this fire! So [please] pity me, and send Lazarus [here] so that he can dip his finger in water [and touch] my tongue to cool it!’
25 Y Abraham le penó: Chaboro: terela en fácho, que ustilaste o lacho andré tun chipen, y Lazaro bastardo: pues acana terela ó acoi paratató, y tucue jurepénes.
But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that while you [(sg)] were alive [on earth] you enjoyed [many] good things. But Lazarus was miserable. Now [it is fair that] he is happy here, and you are suffering.
26 Fuera de que sinela butron baro entré amangue y sangue; de manera que junos sos camelaren nacar de acoi á sangue, n’astisarelan, ni de oté nacar acoi.
Besides that, there is a huge ravine between you [(sg)] and us. So those who want to go from here to where you [(sg)] are, are not able to. Furthermore, no one can cross from there to where we [(exc)] are.’
27 Y penó: Pues te manguelo, batu, que lo bichobeles al quer de minrio batu.
Then the rich man said, ‘If that is so, father [Abraham], I ask you [(sg)] to send [Lazarus] to my father’s house.
28 Presas terelo pansch plalores, somia que les díñele machiria, que na sinele que abillelen junos tambien a ocona sosimbo de jurepénes.
I have five brothers [who live there]. Tell him to warn them [to turn away from their sinful behavior so that] they do not also come to this place, where [we(exc)] suffer great pain!’
29 Y Abraham le rudeló: Terelan á Moyses y á os Prophetas: junelenlos.
But Abraham replied, ‘[No, I will not do that, because your brothers] are able to [go to the Jewish meeting places where the priests] read what Moses and the prophets [wrote]. They should listen to what Moses and the prophets [MTY] [wrote]!’
30 Tami o aver penó: Nanai, Dada Abraham; tami si yeque es mules chalare á junos, querelarán penitencia.
But the rich man replied, ‘No, father Abraham, [that will not be enough] But if someone from those who have died goes back to them [and warns them], they will turn from their sinful behavior.’
31 Y Abraham le penó: Si na junelan á Moyses y á os Prophetas: tampoco pachibelarán á yeque, aun pur se ardiñelare de enré os mulés.
[Abraham] said to him, ‘No! If they do not listen to [what] [MTY] Moses and the prophets [MTY] [wrote], even if someone would become alive again [and go and warn them], they would not be convinced {he could not convince them} [that they should turn from their sinful behavior].’”
