Luke 16
1 Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh: “Thlang boei pynoet awm nawh anih a tangka ak khoemkung ing tangka poeih pe kang hy tinawh amik kqawn ce zahy.
And he went on to say, unto his disciples also, —There was, a certain rich man, who had a steward, and, the same, was accused to him as squandering his goods.
2 Cedawngawh a boei ing khy nawh doet hy, ‘Na kawng kang zaak ve ikawmyihna a awmnaak? Tangka na khoem ce nim huh lah, ka tangka ak koemkung na am awm hly voel hyk ti,’ tina hy.
And, accosting him, he said unto him—What is this I hear of thee? Render the account of thy stewardship, for thou canst no longer be steward.
3 Cedawngawh tangka ak khoemkung ing ‘ikawmyihna nu ka ti lah kaw? Ka boeipa ing ka bibi awm ni qoek hly sak hawh hy. Dek deng aham awm kak tha am awm koek, thlang a venawh kut dun aham awm chak koek bai nyng.
And the steward said within himself—What shall I do, because my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? Dig, I cannot: to beg, I am ashamed.
4 Ka sai hly taw sim hawh nyng, cawh ni bibi ani phawh awhtaw thlangkhqi ing kai ve ami im awh ami ni do hly hy,’ tihy.
I know what I will do, that, when I am removed out of the stewardship, they may welcome me into their own houses.
5 Cedawngawh a boeipa a ik-oeih ak pukhqi ce khy hy. Lamma cyk awhkaw thlang ce khy nawh, ‘Ka boeipa a koe ik-oeih izah nu nak pu peek? tina hy.
And, calling unto him each one of the debtors of his own lord, he was saying unto the first, —How much owest thou my lord?
6 Anih ing, ‘Olive situi boet zaqeet,’ tina hy. Law lah, ang tawnna ngawi nawhtaw zali na sai mai,’ tina hy.
And, he, said—A hundred baths of oil. And, he, said unto him—Kindly take thine accounts, and, sitting down, make haste and write—Fifty!
7 Cekcoengawh a pak khihnaak awhkaw thlang ce doet tlaih bai hy, ‘Nang law izah nak pu? tina hy. “Anih ing, ‘Canghum sum thongkhat,’ tina hy. Tangka ak pukung ing, ‘Nak punaak cahawn ce lo nawhtaw sum zaqeet na sai mai,’ tina hy.
After that, unto another, he said—And how much owest, thou? And, he, said—A hundred homers of wheat. He saith unto him—Kindly take thine accounts, and write—Eighty!
8 Amak thym na bi ak bi tangka ak khoemkung ing cyihnaak ing bi a bi dawngawh a boeipa ing kyih am cah hy. Ve khawmdek thlangkhqi ing a mimah a ik-oeih ami sai awhtaw vangnaak khuiawh ak awmkhqi anglakawh awm cyi ngai uhy. (aiōn g165)
And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, in that with forethought he acted: —Because, the sons of this age, have more forethought than the sons of light, respecting their own generation. (aiōn g165)
9 Nangmih a venawh ka nik kqawn peek khqi, pyi sainaak aham khawmdek boeinaak ce hawna lah uh, cawh ni ce mihkhqi boeih a boeih coengawh, a mingmih ing kumqui awmnaak hun awh nangmih ce ani do hly khqi hy. (aiōnios g166)
And, I, unto you, say—For yourselves, make ye friends, with the unjust Riches, in order that, as soon as it shall fail, they may welcome you into the age-abiding tents. (aiōnios g166)
10 U awm ik-oeih a khoehca awh ypawm na ak awm taw ik-oeih khawzah awh awm ypawm na awm hy, cehlai ik-oeih a khoehca awh ypawm na amak awm taw ik-oeih khawzah awh awm upvoet na awm hy.
The faithful in least, in much also, is, faithful, and, he that in least is unrighteous, in much also, is, unrighteous.
11 Khawmdek boeinaak awh zani ama ypawm awhtaw, u ing nu boeimangnaak tang tang ce ani khoem sak kaw?
If therefore, in the unjust Riches ye proved unfaithful, the true, who, unto you, will entrust?
12 Thlang a ik-oeih awh ypvoet na na awm coengawh taw, u ing nu nang ce ik-oeih a ni peek kaw?
And, if, in what was another’s, ye proved unfaithful, your own, who will give unto you?
13 Tyihzoeih thlang pynoet ing boei pakkhih a bi pakkhih am bawk thai hy. Pynoet ce sawh na kawmsaw pynoet ce lungna kaw, am awhtaw pynoet ce ypna kawmsaw pynoet taw hep kaw. Khawsa bi ingkaw tangka bi am bawk hly thai qen hyk ti,’ tinak khqi hy.
No domestic, can, unto two masters, be in service; for either, the one, he will hate, and, the other, love, or, unto the one, he will hold, and, the other, despise: Ye cannot, unto God, be in service, and unto Riches.
14 Tangka amik thintlawhnaak Farasikhqi ing ce ak awi ce a ming zaak awh Jesu ce qaih na uhy.
Now the Pharisees, who were, lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were openly sneering at him.
15 Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Thlang amik huh awh nangmih ing thlakdyng na sa qu uhyk ti, cehlai Khawsa ing nangmih ak kawlung ce sim hy. Thlang ing a phu ak tlo soeih na a taak ce Khawsa mik huh awhtaw tyih cu hy.
And he said unto them—Ye, are they who justify themselves before men, but, God, knoweth your hearts; because, that which amongst men is lofty, is an abomination before God.
16 Johan a khuk dy ni anaa awi ingkaw tangkakhqi ca qee ce amik khypyi hy. Cekcoengawh kawng Khawsa ram awithang ce khypyi hawh uhy, thlang boeih ing ce ak khuiawh kun aham tha lo uhy.
The law and the prophets, were until John, —from that time, the good news of the kingdom of God, is being proclaimed, and, everyone, thereinto, is forcing his way.
17 Anaa awi awhkaw a dek zet ce ang qeng anglakawhtaw khawk khan ingkaw khawmdek ang qeng zoei bet kaw.
But it is, easier, for heaven and earth to pass away, than that, of the law, one little point, should fail.
18 U ingawm a zu thla nawh nuk chang a lawh awhtaw samphaih hy, thlang a zuk thlak ak zunaak awm samphaih toeng toeng hy.
Every one divorcing his wife and marrying another, committeth adultery; and, he that marrieth a woman divorced from a husband, committeth adultery.
19 Kuiqang thlang pynoet awm nawh hik thim ingkaw hi ak leek leek ing myngawi ang thoeihcam qu coengawh awm hly poepa hy.
Now, a certain man, was rich, and he used to clothe himself with purple and fine linen, making merry day by day, brilliantly.
20 Ak chawmkeng a keng awh Lazaru ak mingnaak kut ak dun thlang pynoet ce awm hy, a pum boeih na phoei ing bawm nawh,
And, a certain beggar, by name Lazarus, used to be cast near his gate, full of sores,
21 kuiqang a caboei awhkaw ak tla awkdik aidik ce ai aham ngaih hy. Uikhqi ing ak phoei ce leek pe uhy.
and to long to be fed from the crumbs that fell from the table of the rich man: nay! even, the dogs, used to come and lick his sores.
22 Cawhkaw kut ak dun thlang ce thi nawh khan ceityihkhqi ing Abraham a venna khyn uhy. Kuiqang thlang awm thi lawt nawh pup uhy.
And it came to pass that the beggar died, and was carried away by the messengers, into the bosom of Abraham. And, the rich man also, died, and was buried.
23 Hell khuina khuikha a sim cilh cilh awh ak hla nakawng Abraham ingkaw a venawh Lazaru ak awm ce hu hy. (Hadēs g86)
And, in hades, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ak khy doe na, ‘Ka pa Abraham, qeennaak ing Lazaru ce tyi nawhtaw tui awh a kutply pui seitaw kam lai ve ci law sak lah seh, vawhkaw mai awh ve khuikha cip cip hawh nyng ve,’ tina hy.
And, he, calling out, said—Father Abraham! have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, —because I am in anguish in this flame.
25 Cehlai Abraham ing, ‘Ka capa, na hqing khui pyt awh ik-oeih ak leek leek hu tiksaw, Lazaru taw ik-oeih che a huh ce poek lah, cehlai tuh awhtaw anih ing ngaihdingnaak hu nawh nang taw khuikha hyk ti.
But Abraham said—Child! remember—That thou didst duly received thy good things in thy life, and, Lazarus, in like manner, the evil things; but, now, here, he is comforted, and, thou, art in anguish.
26 Vekkhqi boeih coengawh, nang ingkaw kaimih anglakawh lawk-kqawng ak dung soeih awm hy, cedawngawh vawhkawng nang a venna u awm am cet thai hy, nang a venna kawng vena u awm am law thai bai hy,’ tina hy.
And, besides all these things, betwixt us and you, a great chasm, hath been fixed, —so that, they who might wish to cross over from hence unto you, should not be able, nor any, from thence unto us, be crossing over.
27 Cawh anih ing, ‘cawhtaw ka pa Abraham, qeennaak thoeh law nyng, Lazaru ce Ka pa im na tyi cang lah,
But he said—I request thee then, father, that thou wouldst send him unto my father’s house, —
28 Ka naa thlang pumha awm hyn hy. Vawhkaw khuikha simnaak a hun awh a mami lawnaak thai aham anih ing kqawn law pe cang lah seh nyng,’ tina hy.
for I have five brethren; —that he may solemnly testify unto them, lest, they also, come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham ing, ‘Mosi ingkaw tawnghakhqi ta hawh usaw ti a; cekkhqi ak awi ce ngai mai u seh,’ tina hy.
But Abraham saith—They have Moses and the Prophets: Let them hearken unto them.
30 Anih ing, ‘Amni, ka pa Abraham, thlak thi ak khuiawh kawng thlang pynoet oet a mingmih a venna a ceh mantaw thawlh zut kawm uh,’ tina hy.
But, he, said—Nay! father Abraham, but, if one, from the dead, should go unto them, they would repent.
31 Abraham ing a venawh, ‘Mosi ingkaw tawnghakhqi ak awi ce a maming ngai awhtaw, thihnaak ak khuiawh kawng thlang tho nawh kqawn pe bai seiawm am ngai hly uhy,’ tina hy,” tinak khqi hy.
But he said unto him—If, unto Moses and the Prophets, they do not hearken, neither, if one, from among the dead, should arise, would they be persuaded.
