< 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 said to his disciples: “There was a rich man who had a steward; and this steward was maliciously accused to him of wasting his estate.
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 the master called him and said ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give in your accounts, for you cannot act as steward any longer.’
3 Entonces penó o queresquero andré sí: ¿Que querelaré, presas minrio Erañó ustilela de mangue a queresqueria? Cavar na terelo silas, mangar terelo verguenza.
‘What am I to do,’ the steward asked himself, ‘now that my master is taking the steward’s place away from me? I have not strength to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
4 Chanelo ma me jomte querelar, somia que pur sinare nicobada a queresqueria, ustilelen mangue andré desqueres queres.
I know what I will do, so that, as soon as I am turned out of my stewardship, people may welcome me into their homes.’
5 Araqueró pues á cata yeque es deudores de desquero erañoró, y penó al brotoro: ¿Quanto debisarelas á minrio Erañoró?
One by one he called up his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked of the first.
6 Y ocona le rudeló: Cien pigotes de ampio: y le penó: Ustilela tiro por: y bestelate yescotria, y libana cinquenta.
‘Four hundred and forty gallons of oil,’ answered the man. ‘Here is your agreement,’ he said; ‘sit down at once and make it two hundred and twenty.’
7 Despues penó á aver: ¿Y tucue quanto debisarelas? Y ó rudeló: Cien melales de gi. Penó: Ustilela tiri papiri, y libana ochenta.
And you, the steward said to the next, ‘how much do you owe?’ ‘Seventy quarters of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Here is your agreement,’ the steward said; ‘make it fifty-six.’
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)
His master complimented this dishonest steward on the shrewdness of his action. And indeed men of the world are shrewder in dealing with their fellow-men than those who have the Light. (aiōn g165)
9 Menda sangue penelo: Que quereleis monres es manchines e choripen; somia que pur perareis, ustilelen sangue andré eternos querés. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you ‘Win friends for yourselves with your dishonest money,’ so that, when it comes to an end, there may be a welcome for you into the Eternal Home. (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.
He who is trustworthy in the smallest matter is trustworthy in a great one also; and he who is dishonest in the smallest matter is dishonest in a great one also.
11 Pues si andré manchines chores na sinasteis fieles: ¿coin á sangue fiará ma sinelo chirdino.
So, if you have proved untrustworthy with the ‘dishonest money,’ who will trust you with the true?
12 Y si na sinasteis fieles andré ma de aver: ¿ma sinela jire coin á sangue lo diñará.
And, if you have proved untrustworthy with what does not belong to us, who will give you what is really our own?
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 can serve two masters, for, either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will attach himself to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.”
14 Tami os Phariseyes, sos sinaban cascañés, junelando sarias oconas buchias, girelaban.
All this was said within hearing of the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, and they began to sneer at Jesus.
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.
“You,” said Jesus, “are the men who justify themselves before the world, but God can read your hearts; and what is highly esteemed among men may be an abomination in the sight of God.
16 A Eschastra, y os Prophetas disde Juan: desde entonces sinela pucanado o chim de Debél: y os sares querelan sila contra ó.
The Law and the Prophets sufficed until the time of John. Since then the Good News of the Kingdom of God has been told, and everybody has been forcing his way into it.
17 Buchi facil butér najarse o Charos y a pu, que perar yeque buchi e Eschastra.
It would be easier for the heavens and the earth to disappear than for one stroke of a letter in the Law to be lost.
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.
Every one who divorces his wife and marries another woman is an adulterer, and the man who marries a divorced woman is an adulterer.
19 Sinaba manu balbalo, sos se vistió de lalané y de bostan lacho, lacho: y cata chibes terelaba jachipenes jucales.
There was once a rich man, who dressed in purple robes and fine linen, and feasted every day in great splendour.
20 Y sinaba oté yeque choro hetó Lazaro, sos yacia al bundal e balbalo; perdo de merdés.
Near his gateway there had been laid a beggar named Lazarus, who 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.
and who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the very 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.
After a time the beggar died, and was taken by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
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 of Death he looked up in his torment, and saw Abraham at a distance and Lazarus at his side. (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 called out ‘Pity me, Father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering agony in this flame.’
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.
‘Child,’ answered Abraham, ‘remember that you in your lifetime received what you thought desirable, just as Lazarus received what was not desirable; but now he has his consolation here, while you are suffering agony.
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.
And not only that, but between you and us there lies a great chasm, so that those who wish to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they cross from there to us.’
27 Y penó: Pues te manguelo, batu, que lo bichobeles al quer de minrio batu.
‘Then, Father,’ he said, ‘I beg you 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.
For I have five brothers to warn them, so that they may not come to this place of torture also.’
29 Y Abraham le rudeló: Terelan á Moyses y á os Prophetas: junelenlos.
‘They have the writings of Moses and the Prophets,’ replied Abraham; ‘let them listen to them.’
30 Tami o aver penó: Nanai, Dada Abraham; tami si yeque es mules chalare á junos, querelarán penitencia.
‘But, Father Abraham,’ he urged, ‘if some one from the dead were to go to them, they would repent.’
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.
‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets,’ answered Abraham, ‘they will not be persuaded, even if some one were to rise from the dead.’”
