Luka 16
1 A hnukbang rhoek te khaw, “Hlang pakhat tah kuirhang la om tih hnokhoem a khueh. Te long te a khuehtawn a haeh pah dongah amah a khotoh nah.
And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.
2 Te dongah anih te a khue tih, ‘Nang kawng ka yaak he me tlam lae? Na hnokhoemnah dongkah olka te thuung laeh, na khoom ham na coeng voel moenih,’ a ti nah.
And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may be no longer steward.
3 Te vaengah hnokhoem amah te, ‘Balae ka saii lah eh? Ka boeipa loh hnokhoemnah he kai lamloh a lat coeng, diklai daeng ham khaw ka noeng pawh, bih ham khaw ka yak,
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4 Ka saii ham te ka ming coeng. Te daengah ni hnokhoemnah lamkah ka puen uh vaengah a im khuila kai n'doe uh eh,’ a ti.
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 Te dongah, a boeipa kah purhong rhoek te rhip a khue tih, lamhma taengah, ‘Ka boeipa taengah meyet na ba?’ a ti nah.
So he called every one of his lord’s debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owe you to my lord?
6 Te long te, ‘Situi um yakhat,’ a ti nah. Te vaengah anih te, ‘Na cabu na doe vaengah ngol pahoi lamtah sawmnga mah daek,’ a ti nah.
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 Pakhat te khaw, ‘Nang tah meyet na ba,’ a ti nah. Te long te, ‘Cang phueih yakhat,’ a ti nah. Anih te, ‘Cabu na doe vaengah sawmrhet la daek,’ a ti nah.
Then said he to another, And how much owe you? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill, and write fourscore.
8 A thai a lai neh a saii dongah boethae kah hnokhoem te boeipa loh a koeh. Ta kumhal kah ca rhoek he amah cadil khuiah tah vangnah kah a ca rhoek lakah cueih uh. (aiōn g165)
And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Te dongah kai loh nangmih taengah ka thui, Boethae laikhuehtawn te khaw na paya la khueh uh. Te daengah ni dungyan dap khuila na khum vaengah n'doe uh eh. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when you fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
10 A yit dongah uepom la aka om tah a len dongah khaw uepom la om tih, a yit dongah aka halang tah a len dongah khaw halang.
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11 Halang, laikhuehtawn neh uepom la na om uh pawt bal atah unim nangmih rhep aka tangnah te?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 Te dongah na hlanglang tih uepom la na om pawt atah na koe te u long nangmih m'paek eh.
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 Imkhut pakhat loh boei panit kah sal a bi thai moenih, pakhat te a toeng vetih pakhat te a lungnah ni, pakhat te a talong vetih pakhat te a hnoel ni. Pathen neh laikhuehtawn kah sal na bi rhenten thai moenih,” a ti nah.
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Te te naivoei la aka om Pharisee rhoek loh boeih a yaak uh vaengah amah te a nueih thil uh.
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15 Te dongah amih te, “Nangmih loh hlang hmaiah aka tang la na om uh. Tedae Pathen loh nangmih thinko te a ming. Hlang soah aka sang te Pathen hmaiah tueilaehnah la om.
And he said to them, You are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
16 Olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek loh Johan hil, te lamkah loh Pathen kah ram tah ana phong coeng tih a khuila la boeih ana ael uh.
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.
17 Olkhueng te a dek pakhat a rhul lakah vaan neh diklai a khum te a phoeng la om pueng.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one pronunciation mark of the law to fail.
18 A yuu te a tueih tih a tloe aka lo boeih tah samphaih coeng. Te phoeiah va aka ma aka yunah te khaw samphaih.
Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery.
19 “Hlang pakhat tah kuirhang la om. Te dongah daidi, hnithen neh khuk uh tih hnin takuem thayoei tuipan la a uum.
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 Te vaengah khodaeng pakhat, a ming ah Lazarus tah buhlut neh a vongka ah a yalh pah.
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 Te dongah kuirhang caboei lamkah aka bo nen te bunghah khaw a nai. Tedae ui rhoek long pataeng ha pawk uh vaengah a buhlut te a laeh pa uh.
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Tedae khodaeng te a duek vaengah puencawn rhoek loh Abraham rhang dongla a khuen. Te phoeiah kuirhang te khaw duek tih a up uh.
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 Tedae saelkhui ah a mik a hoh tih nganboh neh kho a sak vaengah tah Abraham neh a rhang dongkah Lazarus te a hla lamkah a hmuh. (Hadēs g86)
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Te dongah a pang neh, ‘A pa Abraham, kai he n'rhen lamtah Lazarus te han tueih mai. A kutdawn kah a hmoicue te tui dongah naek saeh lamtah ka lai he sul sak saeh, hmaitak khuiah mat n'yuek coeng he,’ a ti nah.”
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 tormented in this flame.
25 “Tedae Abraham loh, ‘Camoe, na hingnah dongkah na hnothen na dang te poek. Te vaengah Lazarus tah yoethae bangla om. Tedae anih a mong vaengah he nang tah patang loh n'yuek coeng.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
26 He rhoek boeih khuiah khaw kaimih neh nangmih laklo kah longhoi tah muep n'lak coeng. Te dongah nangmih taengla hlaikan dingdoeng aka ngaih long khaw coeng pawh, kaimih taengla hlaikan dingdoeng ham khaw coeng pawh,’ a ti nah.”
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there.
27 “Te phoeiah, ‘A pa namah ni kan hloep. Te dongah anih te a pa im la tueih mai.
Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house:
28 Manuca panga ka khueh dongah amih te uen mai saeh. Te daengah ni amih khaw hekah nganboh hmuen la ha pawk uh pawt eh,’ a ti nah.”
For I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 “Tedae Abraham loh, ‘Moses neh tonghma te a khueh uh ta, amih taengah hnatun uh saeh,’ a ti nah.
Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 Tedae te long te, ‘Moenih, a pa Abraham, aka duek tangtae pakhat loh amih te paan koinih yut uh ni,’ a ti nah.”
And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 “Tedae anih te, ‘Moses neh tonghma rhoek kah olthui te a hnatun uh pawt atah, duek khui lamkah khat khat thoo cakhaw ngaitang mahpawh,’ a ti nah,” a ti.
And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
