Luke 16
1 Jesus told his disciples this story. “There was once a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting what belonged to his master.
A PIL kotin masani ong tounpadak kan: Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a saunkoa men indandeki, a peitlakit a koa kapwa kan.
2 So the rich man called in his manager, and asked him, ‘What's this I hear about you? Bring in your accounts, because you won't be continuing as manager.’
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 The manager said to himself, ‘Now what will I do since my master is going to fire me from my job? I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm 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 Oh, I know what I'm going to do so that when I'm sacked as manager people will make me welcome in their homes.’
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 So he invited all those who were in debt to his master to come and see him. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
I ari ekeredo me pwaipwand ong a monsap, ap idok ren men mas: Da me om pwaipwand ong ai monsap?
6 The man replied, ‘A hundred units of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Sit down quickly. Take your bill, and change it to 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?’ The man replied, ‘A hundred units of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill and change it to 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 The rich man commended his dishonest manager for his cunning idea. The children of this world are more cunning towards one another than are 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 I tell you, use the wealth of this world to make friends for yourselves so that when it's gone, you'll be welcomed into an eternal home. (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 If you can be trusted with very little you can also be trusted with much; if you are dishonest with very little you will also be dishonest with 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 So if you can't be trusted when it comes to worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?
Ma komail sota apwali mau pai pali pa, is me pan liki ong komail pai pali poa?
12 And if you can't be trusted with what belongs to someone else, who will trust you with what is yours?
O ma komail sota apwali mau en amen a kapwa, is me pan liki ong komail me udan omail?
13 No servant can obey two masters. Either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Money.”
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 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard what Jesus said and laughed at him.
Parisär akan, me kin pok ong moni, pil rongadar mepukat, ap kaurureki i.
15 But Jesus told them, “You appear pious to people, but God knows what you're thinking. What people value highly is detested by 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 What was written in the law and the prophets lasted until John. From then on the good news of the kingdom of God is being spread, and everyone is forcing their way in.
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 However, it's easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the smallest point of the Law to disappear.
Nan me mongai, lang o sappa pan sorela, sang ekis kisan kapung en lokidokila.
18 Any man who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery, and a man who marries a divorced woman 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 Once there was a man who was rich. He wore purple clothes and fine linen, and enjoyed a luxurious life.
Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a likau waitata o materok o a kin kamadip o peren ni ran karos.
20 A beggar named Lazarus used to sit at his gate, covered in sores,
O pil amen ol me samama, ad a Lasarus, me kin wonon pan wanim en ol kapwapwa o; a kensela kili karos.
21 longing to eat the leftovers from the rich man's table. 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 Then the beggar died, and angels carried him away to be with Abraham. 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 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham in the far distance, with Lazarus beside him. (Hadēs g86)
Ni a mi nan pweleko, wasan waiwairok, ap sarada, udial Apraam ni wasa doo o Lasarus mondi pon kapa, (Hadēs g86)
24 ‘Father Abraham,’ he called out, ‘Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I'm burning in agony.’
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 replied, ‘My son, remember that you enjoyed the good things of life, while Lazarus had a very poor life. Now he is here being comforted, while you suffer in torment.
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 Apart from that, there's a great gulf that stretches between us and you. Nobody who wants to cross from here to you can do so, and nobody can cross from there over 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 The rich man said, ‘Then Father, I beg you, please 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 and he can warn them so that they don't end up here in this place of torment.’
Pwe ri ai ol me limen, me a pan kaasaki irail; pwe ren de lel ong wasa apwal wet!
29 But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. They should listen to them.’
A Apraam masani ong i: Moses o saukop akan mi re’rail, ren nok rong irail.
30 ‘No, father Abraham,’ said the man. ‘But they would repent if someone went to them from the dead!’
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 Abraham said to him, ‘If they won't listen to Moses and the prophets, they won't be convinced even if someone returns 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.
