Luke 16
1 Jesus in a nungzui te tung ah, Mihau khat om a, neisa keam tu khat nei hi; tua pa in na neisa teng bo thongsak siat hi, ci in a topa tung ah ki mawsiat hi.
And he spoke a parable to his disciples. There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and accusations were brought to him of him, that he squandered his property.
2 Taciang a topa in sam a ama tung ah, na thu ka zak te bangbang ziam? ka van na kep teng sazian hong pia tan; banghangziam cile ka neisa keam hi nawn ngawl tu ni hi, ci hi.
And his lord called him, and said to him: What is this that I hear of thee? Render to me an account of thy stewardship; for thou canst no longer be my steward.
3 Tasiaciang in neisa keam pa in, ka topa in ka nasep pan hong tawlngasak tu a hi ciang in, bang vawt tu khi ziam? lo le ka tho thei bua a; khutdaw ngen tu le ka maizum hi.
And the steward said with himself: What shall I do, since my lord is about to take from me the stewardship? To dig, I am unable; and to become a beggar, I am ashamed.
4 Neisa keam dinmun pan hong tawlngaksak ciang in, amate inn ah hong san thei natu in ka vawt tu ka he hi, ci hi.
I know what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
5 Tua ahikom a topa kung ah leiba nei te theampo sam a, a masabel pa kung ah, ka topa tung bangza ba ni ziam? ci hi.
And he called each one of his lord's debtors; and he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 Tua pa in, sathau pheal zakhat, ci hi. Taciang neisa keam pa in, na sazian la tan a, a manlang in to in, taciang pheal sawm nga ci at in, ci hi.
And he said to him, One hundred measures of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write Fifty measures.
7 A dang khat kung ah, nang e, bangza ba ni ziam? ci hi. Ama in, zungtang hui ip zakhat, ci hi. Taciang neisa keam pa in, na sazian la tan a, ip sawm liat ci at in, ci hi.
And he said to another: And how much owest thou to my lord? And he said to him, One hundred cors of wheat. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down, and write Eighty cors.
8 Hi a thuman ngawl neisa keampa in thimtheltak in a vawt nate a topa in pok hi: banghangziam cile, leitung mihing te sia amate hun sung, khuavak tate sang in lupil zaw uh hi. (aiōn g165)
And our Lord praised the unrighteous steward, for having acted sagaciously: for the children of this world are more sagacious than the children of light, in this their generation. (aiōn g165)
9 Keima in kong ci hi, note hileitung pan na pusua uh ciang in tawntung omna biakbuk sung ah hong sang tu na nei thei natu uh in, leitung sum le pai taw ngualtam vawt vun. (aiōnios g166)
And I also say to you: Make to yourselves friends, with this unrighteous mammon; so that when it is finished, they may receive you to their everlasting tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
10 A tawmno ah a thuman peuma a tampi ah zong thuman hi: A tawmno ah a thuman ngawl peuma a tampi tung ah zong thuman ngawl hi.
He that is faithful in the little, is also faithful in the much; and he that is unjust in the little, is also unjust in the much.
11 Tua ahikom a kip ngawl neisa tung ah thuman ngawl na hi uh le, a kua in hauna tatak hong ap ngam tu ziam?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the reality?
12 Ngual dang neisa tung nangawn ah thuman ngawl na hi uh le, noma nei tu in a kua in hong pia ngam tu ziam?
And if ye have not been found faithful in that which is not yours, who will give to you that which is yours?
13 Mihing khat in to ni na seam thei ngawl tu hi: banghangziam cile khat ensan tu a, a dang khat it tu hi; khat beal tu a, a dang khat ngaingon tu hi. Note in Pathian le nei le lam naseam hi khawm thei ngawl tu nu hi, ci hi.
There is no servant, who can serve two lords. For, either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will honor the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 A duhop Pharisee te in hi thu te theampo a zak uh ciang in, Jesus selno in nui uh hi.
And the Pharisees, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.
15 Tasiaciang in Jesus in amate tung ah hibang in ci hi, Note in mihing te mai ah noma le noma ki thutangsak nu hi; ahihang Pathian in na thinsung uh hong he hi: banghangziam cile mihing te sung ah a sang mama in a ki ngaisun te, Pathian mai ah lipkhap huai mama hi.
And Jesus said to them: Ye are such as justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your heart: for that which is exalted among men, is abominable before God.
16 John hong thet dong thukham le kamsang thu te om hi: tua hun pan kipan Pathian kumpingam thu pualak uh a, mi theampo phul in tum uh hi.
The law and the prophets were until John: since then, the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and every one presseth it to enter in.
17 Thukham sung ah a nobel a bawk no khat sang in, van le lei a bo tu ol zaw lai hi.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one letter to pass from the law.
18 A kuamapo a zi khul a, zi dang a nei sia, palngul mawna vawt a hihi: taciang a pasal in a khul numei a tenpui sia zong palngul mawna vawt ma a hihi.
Whoever putteth away his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and whoever taketh her that is put away, committeth adultery.
19 Mi hau khat om a, puan sannum le puan neamno a pha mama sil in, nisim nuamsa in nungta hi:
And there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in fine linen and scarlet, and passed every day in splendid luxury.
20 Taciang a pumpi tung theampo meima taw a dim, Lazarus a kici khutdaw ngen khat om a, mi hau pa kongbiang ah ngual in koi hi.
And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Lazarus; and he was laid at the gate of the rich man, smitten with ulcers.
21 Mihaupa sabuai pan a tak anneng te ne nuam in om a, ui hongpai in a meima te liasak hi.
And he desired to fill his belly with the fragments that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs also came and licked his ulcers.
22 Khutdaw ngen pa thi a, vantung mite in Abraham kang sung ah paipui hi: taciang, mihaupa zong thi a, phum hi;
And so it was, that the poor man died; and angels transported him to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Taciang a ngim thuak na hell sung pan a tungsang a et ciang in, a khuala mama na ah Abraham mu hi, taciang a kangsung ah Lazarus om hi. (Hadēs g86)
And being tormented in hell, he raised his eyes from afar off, and saw Abraham, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Mihaupa au in, ka pa Abraham awng, hong hesuak kapo in, hi meikuang sung ah ngim na thuak kahikom Lazarus in a khutzung dawn tuisung ah papsuk in, ka lei hong votsak natu in sawl in, ci hi.
And he called with a loud voice, and said: Abraham, my father, have pity on me; and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and moisten my tongue; for, lo, I am tormented in this flame.
25 Ahihang Abraham in, ka tapa awng, na nuntaksung a pha theampo sang zo ni hi, tabangma in Lazarus sia a pha ngawl teng sang hi: ahizong tu in ama sia henepna nga zo a, nang na hile ngimna na thuak hi, ci phawk in.
And Abraham said to him: My son, remember, that thou receivedst thy good things in thy lifetime, and Lazarus his evil things: and now, behold he is here at rest, and thou art tormented.
26 Hiteng theampo bek domngawl, kote le nangma ki laklaw ah luamthukpi om hi: tua ahikom hi mun pan in na kung ah ki pai thei ngawl a, nangma kung pan zong ko kung ki pai thei ngawl hi, ci hi.
And with all these, there is a great barrier between us and you; so that they who would pass from here to you, cannot; neither can they pass from there to us
27 Tasiaciang in mihaupa in, tua a hi ciang, ka pa Abraham awng, Lazarus sia ka pa inn ah paisak tu in hong ngen khi hi:
He said to him: I pray thee, therefore, my father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house;
28 Banghangziam cile, suapui nga nei lai khi hi; hi ngimna sung ah hong thet ngawl natu uh in Lazarus in amate tung ah tettipang tahen, ci hi.
for I have five brothers; that he may go and protest to them; lest they also come to this place of torment.
29 Abraham in, amate in Moses le kamsang te nei hi; tuate thu ngai tahen, ci hi.
Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 Taciang in mihaupa in, hi ngawl hi, ka pa Abraham awng: mithi te sung pan in khat amate kung ah pai a hile, amate ki sikkik tu uh hi, ci hi.
But he said to him: No, my father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Abraham in ama kung ah, Moses le kamsang te thu a ngai nuam bua a hile, khatpo thina pan a thokik hial zong in ngai nuam tuan ngawl tu uh hi, ci hi.
Abraham said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not believe, though one should rise from the dead.
