Luke 16
1 Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
Yesu atibabakiya kae benepunzi bake, “Pabile ni mundu yumo tajiri abile ni meneja, ni apeilwe habari ya kwamba meneja yono atapanya mali yake.
2 So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’
Nga nyoo tajiri atikumkema, nikum'bakiya, “nga namani yeni yaniipekania kunani yako? Upiye hesabu ya umeneja wako, kwa kuwa uwecha kwaa panga wameneja kae.”
3 The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my position? I am too weak to dig and too ashamed to beg.
Yolo meneja atibaya kumoyo wake, nipala panga namani, mana ngwana wango anikonyie kazi yango ya umeneja? Ntopo ngupu ywa lema, ni loba loba nibona oni.
4 I know what I will do, so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
Nilitangite lanipala panga lenga panipoyelwa kukazi yango ya uwakili bandu banikaribishe kunyumba yabe.
5 And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
Nga nyoo wakili atikubakema adeni wa ngwana wake kila yumo akam'bakiye wa kwanza,'udaiwa kiasi gani ni ngwana wango?'
6 ‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager. ‘Sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
Atibaya ipimo mia jimo ya mauta akambakiya 'utole upesi hati yako utame upesi uyandike hamsini.'
7 Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your bill and write eighty,’ he told him.
Boka po atim'bakiya ywenge ni wenga udaiwa kiasi gani? 'atibaya 'ipimo mia jimo vya bwembe wa ngano, akam'bakiya,'utole hati yako uyandike themanini.'
8 The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the sons of light. (aiōn g165)
Yolo ngwana atikumsifu meneja dhalimu cha pangite kwa weleu, kwa kuwa bana ba'kilambo wono ni werevu wanambone nashughulika kwa ung'anga ni bandu baupande wabe kuliko bababile bona banuru. (aiōn g165)
9 I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
Ni nenga nindakuwabakiya muipange ambwiga kwa mali ya udhalimu lenga baikosike babakaribishe katika makao ga milele. (aiōnios g166)
10 Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
Ywa abiile mwaminifu katika lalibile lichunu muno upanga uaminifu katika likolo, ni abile dhalimu katika kichunu muno na katika kikolo pia.
11 So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
Mana mwenga mpangile kwaa uaminifu katika mali ya udhalimu ni ywako apalakukuamini katika mali ya kweli?
12 And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
Na mana mwabile kwaa baaminifu katika tumia mali ya mundu ywenge nyai ywapala kuwapea yaibile ya kwinu bene?
13 No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
Ntopo mtumishi ywaweza tumikia ngwana wanaibele, kwa maamna apala kumchukia yumo ni kumpenda ywenge, ama apala chikamana ni yolo ni kumdharau hayo. Hawesa kwaa kumtumikia Nnongo ni mali.”
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
Bai Mafarisayo, bababile apenda mbanje bayowine ago goti ni chalawa.
15 So He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is prized among men is detestable before God.
Ni atiabakiya, “mwenga mwamuipunia haki nnonge ya bandu, lakini Nnongo aitangite mioyo yinu, kwa kuwa latitumikite kwa bandu upanga chukizo nnonge ya Nnongo.
16 The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
Saliya na manabii vyabile mpaka Yohana paichile. Boka wakati wolo, habari njema ya ufalme wa Nnongo utitangazwa, ni kila mundu upaya jingya kwa ngupu.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.
Lakini ni rahisi ka kumaunde ni pakilambo viboke kuliko hata herufi yimo ya saliyakosekana.
18 Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Kila ywanneka nnyumbowe ni kobeka nnwawa ywenge azini, nayomkobeka ywembe ywalekwite ni nchengowe azini.
19 Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
Pabile ni mundu yumo tajiri awalite ngobo za rangi ya zambarau ni kitani safi ni abile atipurai kila lichoba utajiri wake nkolo.
20 And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores
Ni maskini yumo lina lyake Lazaro abekitwe muligeti lyake, ni ana ilonda.
21 and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
Ni ywembe atitamani yukuta kwa makombo yatambwike katika meza ya yolo tajiri hata mapwa waichile ni kumlambata ilonda yake.
22 One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
Ikawa yolo maskini awile ni tolekwa ni malaika mpaka pakiuba cha Ibrahimu. Yolo tajiri pia awile nachikwa.
23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side. (Hadēs g86)
Ni kolo kumambe abile kumateso aobwile minyo gake ni kum'bona Ibrahimu kuutalu ni Lazalo pakiuba chake. (Hadēs g86)
24 So he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. For I am in agony in this fire.’
Atilela ni kubaya, Tate Ibrahimu, unihurumie unlei Lazaro achuye ncha ya lukonji lwake mumache, auburudishe ulimi wango, kwa sababu nindateswa katika mwoto wono.
25 But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.
Lakini ibrahimu abayite, “mwana wango ukumbuke ya kwamba katika maisha yako utipokiya makowe yako mema, ni Lazaro nyo apatike mabaya. Ila nambeyambe abile pano anafarijiwa ni wenga unalumia.
26 And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’
Ni zaidi ya ago, kubekitwe liembwa likolo ni lilacho kati yitu, lengo balo bapala boka kono icha kwoo kana bawechange wala bandu wa kwinu kana baloke icha kwitu.”
27 ‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,
Yolo tajiri abayite,'nindakuloba tate Ibrahimu, kwamba umtume kunyumba ya tate bango.
28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
kwa kuwa nibile nabo anunango atano linga abaonye, kwa hofu kwamba nabo baicha mahali pano nateseka.'
29 But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
Lakini Ibrahimu abayite, “babile Musa ni manabii babapekani bao.
30 ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’
Yolo tajiri atibaya, “nyoo kwaa, tate Ibrahimu, lakini mana ayendile mundu boka kono kwa wafu bapala tubu.'
31 Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
Lakini Ibrahimu atikum'bakiya,'kana bakani kuwa pekania Musa ni manabii bapala shawishika kwaa ni mundu hata mana atiuluka boka mu'kiwo.
