Luke 16
1 And He also spoke to His disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was slandered to him as wasting his goods.
Yesu atibabakiya kae benepunzi bake, “Pabile ni mundu yumo tajiri abile ni meneja, ni apeilwe habari ya kwamba meneja yono atapanya mali yake.
2 And having called him, he said to him, What is this which I hear concerning thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou art not able to be steward 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 And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, because my lord takes away my stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am 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 shall do, in order that when I am deposed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Nilitangite lanipala panga lenga panipoyelwa kukazi yango ya uwakili bandu banikaribishe kunyumba yabe.
5 And calling each one of the debtors of his lord, he said to the first, How much do you owe my lord?
Nga nyoo wakili atikubakema adeni wa ngwana wake kila yumo akam'bakiye wa kwanza,'udaiwa kiasi gani ni ngwana wango?'
6 And he said; A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your accounts, and sitting down quickly write fifty.
Atibaya ipimo mia jimo ya mauta akambakiya 'utole upesi hati yako utame upesi uyandike hamsini.'
7 Then he said to another one, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He says to him, Take your account, and write fourscore.
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 And the lord praised the steward of unrighteousness because he acted shrewdly: because the sons of this age are wiser in their generation than the sons of the 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 And I say unto you, Make unto yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness, in order that, when it may fail, they may receive you into eternal tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
Ni nenga nindakuwabakiya muipange ambwiga kwa mali ya udhalimu lenga baikosike babakaribishe katika makao ga milele. (aiōnios g166)
10 He that is faithful in the least is also faithful in much: and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous in much.
Ywa abiile mwaminifu katika lalibile lichunu muno upanga uaminifu katika likolo, ni abile dhalimu katika kichunu muno na katika kikolo pia.
11 If therefore you were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the true?
Mana mwenga mpangile kwaa uaminifu katika mali ya udhalimu ni ywako apalakukuamini katika mali ya kweli?
12 If you were not faithful in the interest of another, who will give you your own?
Na mana mwabile kwaa baaminifu katika tumia mali ya mundu ywenge nyai ywapala kuwapea yaibile ya kwinu bene?
13 No servant is able to serve two masters: for he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and mammon.
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 And the Pharisees, being avaricious, were hearing all these things, and murmuring against Him.
Bai Mafarisayo, bababile apenda mbanje bayowine ago goti ni chalawa.
15 And He said to them, Ye are those who justify yourselves before the people; but God knows your hearts: because that which is exalted among the people is abomination in the sight of 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 until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presses 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 And it is easier that heaven and earth pass away, than one tittle fall from the law.
Lakini ni rahisi ka kumaunde ni pakilambo viboke kuliko hata herufi yimo ya saliyakosekana.
18 Every one sending away his wife, and marrying another, commits adultery; and the one marrying her who has been sent away by her husband commits adultery.
Kila ywanneka nnyumbowe ni kobeka nnwawa ywenge azini, nayomkobeka ywembe ywalekwite ni nchengowe azini.
19 There was a certain rich man, and he was habitually clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day.
Pabile ni mundu yumo tajiri awalite ngobo za rangi ya zambarau ni kitani safi ni abile atipurai kila lichoba utajiri wake nkolo.
20 But a certain beggar, Lazarus by name, was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Ni maskini yumo lina lyake Lazaro abekitwe muligeti lyake, ni ana ilonda.
21 and desiring to be fed by the crumbs falling from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming continued to lick his sores.
Ni ywembe atitamani yukuta kwa makombo yatambwike katika meza ya yolo tajiri hata mapwa waichile ni kumlambata ilonda yake.
22 And it came to pass that the beggar died, and himself was carried by the angels into the bosom of Abraham: 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 And in Hades lifted up his eyes, being in torment, sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Ni kolo kumambe abile kumateso aobwile minyo gake ni kum'bona Ibrahimu kuutalu ni Lazalo pakiuba chake. (Hadēs g86)
24 And he calling 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, because I am tormented in this flame.
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 said, Child, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus likewise evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
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 in addition to all these things, there is a great gulf fixed between us and you, in order that those wishing to go hence to you may not be able, neither can they come thence 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 And he said, Moreover I intreat you, father, that you may send him to the house of my father:
Yolo tajiri abayite,'nindakuloba tate Ibrahimu, kwamba umtume kunyumba ya tate bango.
28 for I have five brothers; in order that he may testify to them, that they may not also come to this place of the torment.
kwa kuwa nibile nabo anunango atano linga abaonye, kwa hofu kwamba nabo baicha mahali pano nateseka.'
29 But Abraham says, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Lakini Ibrahimu abayite, “babile Musa ni manabii babapekani bao.
30 But he said, No, father Abraham: but if one may go 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 But he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded if one may rise 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.
