Luke 16
1 And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his goods.
A PIL kotin masani ong tounpadak kan: Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a saunkoa men indandeki, a peitlakit a koa kapwa kan.
2 And he called him, and said to him: What is this that I hear of you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer act as steward.
I ari eker dong i indang i: Iaduen ai rongadar duen koe? Kaineneta noum kisin likau duen om dodok! Pwe koe solar kak saunkoa.
3 And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes from me the stewardship. I have not strength to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
Saunkoa ap madamadaua indada: Da me i en wia, pwe ai monsap pan ki sang ia ai koa, nan i sota kak weweir, a poekipoeki me i namenokki.
4 I am resolved on what I shall do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, I may be received into their houses.
I ap asada, me i pan wia, i lao sapwilidi sang ai koa, pwe irail en kasamo ia long ong nan im ar akan.
5 And he called to him every one of his lord’s debtors, and said to the first, How much do you owe my lord?
I ari ekeredo me pwaipwand ong a monsap, ap idok ren men mas: Da me om pwaipwand ong ai monsap?
6 He replied, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take back your note, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
A inda: Potel en le epuki. A indai ong i: Ale noum puk mondi pitipit intingiedi me limeisok!
7 Then he said to another, How much do you owe? He replied, A hundred homers of wheat. And he said to him, Take back your note, and write eighty.
Ap pil indai ong amen: A koe, da me om pwaipwand? A inda: Kopa en wan korn epuki. A indang i: Ale noum puk intingiedi me waleisok!
8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he acted prudently. For the children of this age are more prudent toward their generation than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
Monsap ap kapinga saunkoa sapung, pweki a dodok lolekong. Pwe seri en sappa kan me lolekong ni song ar sang seri en marain akan. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, Make for yourselves friends with the unrighteous riches, that when you fail, you may be received into the everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
I ap indai ong komail, komail wia kompoke pamail ki mamon sapung pwe komail lao samamalar, ren kasamolong ong nan deu potopot. (aiōnios g166)
10 He that is faithful in the least, is faithful also in much. He that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
Meamen apwali mau me tikitik o, nan i me pil kin apwali mau me lapalap. A me kin sapung ni me tikitik o, nan i me pil sapung ni me toto.
11 If, therefore, you have not been faithful in the unrighteous riches, who will intrust you with the true?
Ma komail sota apwali mau pai pali pa, is me pan liki ong komail pai pali poa?
12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give to you that which is your own?
O ma komail sota apwali mau en amen a kapwa, is me pan liki ong komail me udan omail?
13 No servant can serve two masters; for he will either hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and despise the other. You can not serve God and riches.
Sota ladu men me pan kak papa saumas riamen; pwe a pan kailongki amen o pok ong me teio. De kasampwaleki amen o mamaleki me teio. Komail sota pan kak pariai pena Kot o mamon.
14 And the Pharisees also, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
Parisär akan, me kin pok ong moni, pil rongadar mepukat, ap kaurureki i.
15 And he said to them: You set yourselves forth as righteous before men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men, is detestable in the sight of God.
A kotin masani ong irail: Nan komail me kin akapungki pein komail ren aramas, a Kot kin mangi nan mongiong omail. Pwe me kasampwal ren aramas, kin me mal ren Kot.
16 The law and the prophets were till John. Since that time, the kingdom of God is preached, and every one enters it by force.
Kapung o saukop akan kokoper lel ni muein Ioanes. A sang ni ansau o rongamau en wein Kot kin lolok sili, a karos kin pedelongki manaman.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one point of the law to fail.
Nan me mongai, lang o sappa pan sorela, sang ekis kisan kapung en lokidokila.
18 Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is divorced, commits adultery.
Meamen kasela a paud, ap paudeki amen li, nan i me kamal, o meamen me paudekida me lokidokila sang ren ol amen, nan i me kamal.
19 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted sumptuously every day.
Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a likau waitata o materok o a kin kamadip o peren ni ran karos.
20 And there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores:
O pil amen ol me samama, ad a Lasarus, me kin wonon pan wanim en ol kapwapwa o; a kensela kili karos.
21 and he would gladly have been fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. And even the dogs came and licked his sores.
Ap men tungole maremor akan, me kin pupedi ni tepel en me kapwapwa; a kidi kan kin tamotamo a kens akan.
22 And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and was carried by angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried;
A kadekadeo me samama o mela o tounlang kai ap wadala pon kapa en Apraam. A me kapwapwa o pil mela o saredier.
23 and in hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Ni a mi nan pweleko, wasan waiwairok, ap sarada, udial Apraam ni wasa doo o Lasarus mondi pon kapa, (Hadēs g86)
24 And he called to him 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.
Ap likwirda indada: Sam (ai) Apraam, kom kotin kupura ia, poronedo Lasarus en kaduedi sondin pa a nan pil, ki ong pon lo i, pwe i kin waiwairok nani iai wet.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that, in your lifetime, you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus his evil things. But now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
A Apraam kotin masani: Nai, tamanda, me koe tungoler om mau kan karos ni maur om, a Lasarus a me sued akan; ari a pan pereperenta, a koe pan kalokolok.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that they that would pass hence to you, can not; nor can they that would, pass thence to us.
A pil eu me kawela, wau kalaimun eu mi nan pung atail, pwe ma amen kit men sapale wong re omail, a sota pan kak, pil sota amen komail pan kakedo.
27 Then he said, I beseech you, therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house;
A ap inda: I ap men poeki, sam ai, komui en kotin poronelang Lasarus nan im en sam ai.
28 for I have five brothers; that he may earnestly admonish them, lest they also come to this place of torment.
Pwe ri ai ol me limen, me a pan kaasaki irail; pwe ren de lel ong wasa apwal wet!
29 Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
A Apraam masani ong i: Moses o saukop akan mi re’rail, ren nok rong irail.
30 But he said, Not so, Father Abraham; but if one should go to them from the dead, they would repent.
A ol o potoan ong: Kaidin sam (ai) Apraam, a ma amen sang ren me melar akan pan pwara dong irail, rap pan kalula.
31 But he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded, though one should rise from the dead.
A ap masani ong i: Ma re sota pan rong Moses o saukop akan, re pil sota pan poson la, ma amen pan maureda sang ren me melar akan.
