Luke 16
1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
Alubo Jesu wakati kuli basikwiiya bakwe, “Kwalkali mwaalumi wakali muvubi, alimwi wakali aasilutwe wakwe, alimwi wakaambilwa kuti silutwe uli tatuula lwakwe.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of you? give an account (logos) of your stewardship; for you may be no longer steward.
Aboobo muvubi wakamwiita silutwe wakwe wati kulinguwe, 'Niinzi eezi nzindiikumvwa aatala anduwe? Pa bupanduluzi aatala abusilutwe bwako, nkaambo tocheelede pe kuba silutwe wangu.'
3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
Pesi silutwe wakati mukaango kakwe, 'Ndichite biyeni, mbukunga simalelo wangu uyanda kunditolela buslutwe bwa mulimu wangu? Nsikwe manguzu pe aakusya alubo kulandipa nsoni kuyabukumbila.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Ndaziba kuti ndichite biuyeni, kuchitila kuti ndatandwa kuba siltwe bantu banditambule mumaanda aabo.'
5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owe you unto my lord?
Mpawo silutwe wakiita bantu boonse bakali aazikwelete zyasimalelo wakwe, wakabuzya kuli wakusanguna wati, 'Ukweletede nzi kuli simalelo wangu?'
6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
Wakati, 'Mwaanda wansazi zyamafuta aa oliva.' Mpawo wakati kulinguwe, 'Bwaza lugwalo lwako chakfwaambaana ulembe kuti makumi osanwe.'
7 Then said he to another, And how much owe you? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take your bill, and write fourscore.
Mpawo silutwe wakati kuli umbi, 'Niinzi nchokweletede?' Wakati, 'Mwaanda wazyeelelelo zyamayila.' Wakati, 'Bweza lugwalo lwako, ulembe kuti makumi musanu amakumi otatwe.'
8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
Simalelo wakabotelwa asilutwe ooyu nkaambo wakachita anzila iitaluleme. Nkaambo bana banyika iino tabaluleme pe mukubeleka abananyina kwiinda mbubali bana ba mumuni. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when all of you fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
Ndati kulindinywe, amulipangile bazolwani amali iitaluleme, kuchitila kuti niyoomana, bakamutambule mubuumi butamani. (aiōnios g166)
10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
Ooyo uusyomekede muziniini ulizyomekede amuzipati, ayooyo uutasyomekede muziniini tasyomekede pe muzipati.
11 If therefore all of you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Na tewasyomekede mukubelesya mali yabubi, ngwani uutakusyome abuvubi banchoonzyo?
12 And if all of you have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
Alimwi na tewasyomekede mukubelesya mali yabamwi, ngwani uutakupe yako mali?
13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. All of you cannot serve God and mammon.
Taakwe mulanda uunga ulabelekela basimalelo babili, nkaambo ulakonzya kuyanda umwi atayandi umwi, na kulipeda kuli umwi alangile aansi umwi. Tokonzyi pe kuyanda Leza abuvubi.”
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
Lino ba Falisi bakalikuyandisya mali nibakamvwa eezi zintu bakamunyanyansya.
15 And he said unto them, All of you are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Mpawo wakati kulimbabo, “Mulalilulamika kunembo lyabantu, pesi Leza uliizi myoyo yenu. Eecho chisumpulwa loko aakati kabantu tachikbotezyi pe kunembo lya Leza.
16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.
Mulawu abasinsimi bakabeleka kuyoosika muchiindi chakusika kwa Joni. Kuzwa aawo, jwi lya bwami bwa Leza lilikukambawukwa, mpawo woonse muntu ulikweezya kunjila.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Pesi nchuuba kuti julu anyika zyiinde kwiinda kuti kamwi kabala kamulawu kakachale kakatakwe nguzu.
18 Whosoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whosoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery.
Umwi awumwi uuleka mwanakazi wakwe akukwata umbi wachita mamambe, ayooyo ukwata mwanakazi wakalekwa wachita mamambe.
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
Lino kwakali umwi mwaalumi muvubi wakali kukkala kazweete zizwaato zyamubala wantumbula zibotu alimwi wakalikubotelwa lubbe abuvubi bwakwe bupati.
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Umwi sikukumbila wakalikutegwa Lazalo wakali kubikwa kumulyango wakwe, wakazwide zilonda,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
wakalikukumbila biyo chakulya eecho chakali kuloka aatafula yamuvubi - kunze kwazeezyo bankala bakalikusika kuzomyanguta zilonda zyakwe.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
Chakachitika kuti sikukumbila wakafwa mpawo wakabwezwa abangelo wakukkazikwa kubbazu lya Abbulahamu. Muvubi wakafwa alakwe mpawo wakavwikkwa,
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
mpawo kali mu Hadesi kali koomba, wakanyampula menso aakwe walanga kujulu wakabona Abbulahamu kali kule a Lazalo kali akaango kakwe. (Hadēs g86)
24 And he cried 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.
Mpawo wakakwiila wati, 'Taata Abbulahamu, ndifwide nsoni utume Lazalo, kuti akanike gala lyakanwe kakwe mumaanzi azootontozye lulimi lwangu, nkaambo ndapengaana mumulilo ooyu.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
Pesi Abbulahamu wakati, 'Mwanangu, yeeya kuti muchiindi chakupona kwako wakatambula zintu zyako zibotu, alakwe Lazalo zibi. Pesi lino pwajana kulyookezya ookuno iwe wanjila mumapenzi.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from behind to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
Alimwi kunze kwazeezi, kulimugaano mupati uubikidwe aawa, chakuti ooyo uuyanda kutaaluka kazwa ookuno kaza ooko takokonzya pe, ayooyo uuyanda kutaluka kazwa ooko kaza ookuno takookonzya pe.'
27 Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house:
Mwaalumi muvubi wakati, 'Ndakukumbila, Taata Abbulahamu, kuti umutume kung'anda yandeende -
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
nkaambo ndili aabana bakwesu balimusanu - kuti akabaambile, nkaambo ndiyoowa kuti abalabo bazooza okuno kubusena bwakupengaana.'
29 Abraham says unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Pesi Abbulahamu wakati, 'Bali a Mozesi abasinsimi; ababaswiilile.'
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
Wakasandula mwaalumi muvubi wati, 'Pe, Taata Abbulahamu, pesi kuti kwayinka muntu wabka kubafu bayoosyoma, bayosanduka.'
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Pesi Abbulahamu wakati, 'Na kabatamuswiilili Mozesi abasinsimi, taakwe nibanga balamuswiilila ayooyo unooli wabuka kubafu.'”
