Luke 16
1 Then He said further to His disciples: “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, who was accused to him of wasting his goods.
Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Oasr sie mwet na kasrup, su filiya sie mwet tutafpo in liyaung ma lal nukewa. Na fwackyang nu sin mwet kasrup sac lah mwet tutafpo se lal ah supoklotina ma lal uh.
2 So he called him in and said to him: ‘What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be manager.’
Ouinge el pangnolma ac fahk nu sel, ‘Mea nga lohng keim inge? Ase nu sik sie pwepu in akkalemye orekmakinyen ma luk uh sum, mweyen kom ac tia sifil karingin ma luk uh.’
3 Then the manager said within himself: ‘What shall I do? My master is taking the management away from me. I do not have strength to dig; I am ashamed to beg
Ac mwet tutafpo sac sifacna nunku in el, ‘Mea nga ac oru, ke leum luk el akola in sisyula liki orekma luk uh? Nga munas in wi puk laf, ac nga mwekin in ngusr.
4 —I know what I will do, so that whenever I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.’
Kwal, nga etu lah mea nga ac oru, tuh mwet uh in suliyu nu in lohm selos tukun sisila nga liki orekma luk.’
5 Summoning each one of his master's debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
Ouinge el solama kais sie mwet ma oasr soemoul la nu sin leum sac. El siyuk sin mwet se meet ah, ‘Lupa su soemoul lom nu sin leum luk?’
6 And he said, ‘A hundred baths of olive oil.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
Ac el topuk, ‘Barrel siofok ke oil in olive.’ Na mwet tutafpo sac fahk nu sel, ‘Pa inge pwepu in misa lom uh. Muta insacn, simusla ma lumngaul.’
7 Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill and write eighty.’
Na el sifil siyuk sin sie pac, ‘Ac kom, lupa su soemoul lom?’ Ac mwet sac topuk, ‘Sie tausin bushel in wheat.’ Na mwet tutafpo sac fahk ouinge, ‘Pa inge pwepu in misa lom uh. Simusla ma oalfoko.’
8 The master even ‘commended’ the dishonest manager, because he had acted shrewdly. The sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the Light. (aiōn g165)
Ouinge, leum lun mwet tutafpo kutasrik sac kaksakunul ke inkanek usrnguk ma el oru, mweyen mwet facl se inge arulana yohk usrnguk lalos ke ma elos oru, liki mwet lun kalem uh.” (aiōn g165)
9 “I even say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that whenever you fail, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings! (aiōnios g166)
Ac Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “Ke ma inge nga fahk nu suwos: orekmakin mwe kasrup lun faclu tuh kowos in konauk mwet kawuk lowos, na ke pacl se lisr, ac fah suliyuk kowos nu in lohm kawil. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.
Kutena mwet su oaru in ma srik, ac fah oaru pac ke ma yohk; ac kutena mwet su sesuwos in ma srik ac fah sesuwos pac ke ma yohk.
11 If therefore you have not been faithful with the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the genuine?
Kowos fin soaru in karingin mwe kasrup lun faclu, ac ku in lulalfongiyuk kowos fuka in karingin mwe kasrup pwaye uh?
12 And if you have not been faithful in what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?
Ac kowos fin soaru in karingin ma lun siena mwet, su ac ku in sot ma lowos?
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 God and mammon!”
“Wangin mwet kulansap ku in kulansapu leum luo. El ac srunga sie, ac lungse el ngia; el ac pwaye nu sin sie, ac kwase el ngia. Kowos koflana kulansupu God ac mani.”
14 Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were also listening to all these things, and they were ridiculing Him.
Ke mwet Pharisee elos lohng ma inge elos isrun Jesus, mweyen elos lungse mani.
15 So He said to them: “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. That which is exalted among men is an abomination before God.
Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Kowos sifacna oru lumowos in suwohs ye mutun mwet uh, tusruk God El etu insiowos. Tuh ma su mwet uh pangon yohk sripa selos, ma inge pilasr ye mutun God.
16 The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed, and every one is trying to force his way into it.
“Ma Sap lal Moses ac ma simusla lun mwet palu uh orekmakinyuk na nwe ke pacl lal John Baptais ah. In pacl sac me, Pweng Wo ke Tokosrai lun God uh fwackyak, ac mwet uh aikusiyak in utyak nu loac.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the Law to fail.
Tusruktu, fisrasr tuh kusrao ac faclu in wanginla, liki sie akul srisrik ke sie leta ke Ma Sap uh in wanginla.
18 “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.
“Kutena mukul su sisla mutan kial ac payuk nu sin sie pacna mutan, el orek kosro; ac sie mukul su payuk nu sin mutan sisila se, el oayapa orek kosro.
19 “Now there was a certain rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
“Oasr sie mwet kasrup su nukum nuknuk na yohk molo, ac el moul in mut len nukewa.
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores, who had been placed at his gate,
Na oasr pac sie mwet sukasrup pangpang Lazarus, su manol nuklana ke ruf, ac kwacna utukla el in muta ke mutunoa in lohm sin mwet kasrup sac,
21 just wanting to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table—why even the dogs would come and lick his sores!
mweyen el finsrak na elan ku in kang kutkut in mongo ma ac putatla liki tepu lun mwet kasrup sac. Kosro ngalngul uh ac tuku pac lohi ruf kacl uh.
22 In due time the beggar died and was carried away to Abraham's bosom by the angels. “The rich man also died and was buried.
Mwet sukasrup sac misa, ac lipufan uh usalla elan tuh muta siskal Abraham ke kufwa inkusrao uh. Mwet kasrup sac misa ac pukpuki el,
23 And in Hades he looked up and saw Abraham at a distance, and Lazarus very close to him. And being in torment, (Hadēs g86)
ac ke el muta in Hades, yen ma el pulakin keok upa nu sel, el ngetak ac liyal Abraham yen loessula, ac Lazarus el muta siskal. (Hadēs g86)
24 he called out, saying, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; because I am tormented by this flame!’
Na el pangyak ac fahk, ‘Papa Abraham! Pakomutuk, ac supwalma Lazarus elan isongya kufinpaol in kof an ac kahlye mutun louk in akoyohuyauk, tuh nga muta in keok lulap in e se inge!’
25 But Abraham said: ‘Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus had bad things; but now he is being comforted, and you tormented.
Ac Abraham el fahk, ‘Ma nutik, esam lah pacl kom moul muta fin faclu ma nukewa wo ac fisrasr nu sum, a funu Lazarus el muta in ongoiya ac moul upa. Inge el muta insewowo inse, a kom muta in keok.
26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can anyone from there cross over to us.’
Sayen ma inge, oasr luf na lulap se srikutelik, pwanang kutena mwet ma ac ke fahsrot ingewot nu yurum ac tia ku in orala, ac wangin pac mwet ac ku in tuku yurum me nu yorosr.’
27 Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,
Na mwet kasrup sac fahk, ‘Fin ouingan nga kwafe sum, Papa Abraham, supwalla Lazarus nu in lohm sin papa tumuk,
28 because I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’
yen tamulel limekosr luk oasr we. Lela elan som ac sensenkunulos, tuh elos in mau tia tuku nu yen waiok se inge.’
29 Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’
Abraham el fahk, ‘Kas lal Moses ac lun mwet palu uh oasr yorolos. Elos in porongo kas lalos an.’
30 So he said to him, ‘Oh no, father Abraham—if someone from the dead should go to them, they will repent!’
Mwet kasrup sac fahk, ‘Papa Abraham, srakna sufal ma kom fahk ingan! Tuh fin oasr mwet se moulyak liki misa ac som nu yorolos, na elos fah ku in auliyak ac forla liki ma koluk lalos.’
31 He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone should rise from the dead.’”
Ac Abraham el fahk, ‘Elos fin tia lohngol Moses ac mwet palu uh, elos ac tia pac lulalfongi finne oasr mwet se moulyak liki misa.’”
