Luke 16
1 To his disciples he said. "There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and this steward was accused to him of wasting his property.
A PIL kotin masani ong tounpadak kan: Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a saunkoa men indandeki, a peitlakit a koa kapwa kan.
2 "He called to him to him and said. "‘What is this that I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship; for you can no longer be steward.’
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 "Now the steward said to himself. ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my stewardship? I am not strong enough to dig, to beg I am ashamed.
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 "‘I know what I will do, so that when I am put out of my stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.’
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 called to him each of his master’s debtors and said to the first, ‘How much money 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 "‘A hundred measures of oil,’ he answered. "He said to him, ‘Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty."
A inda: Potel en le epuki. A indai ong i: Ale noum puk mondi pitipit intingiedi me limeisok!
7 "To a second he said, ‘How much do you owe?’ "The man answered, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ "‘Here is you bill,’ he said, ‘change it to eighty measures.’
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 "And the master praised the unjust steward because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this world are in relation to their own generation wiser than the sons of the 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 "And to you I say, Use mammon, dishonest as it is, to make yourselves friends, so that when it shall fail they will welcome you to the eternal tabernacles. (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 "The man who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he who is unjust in a very little, is unjust also as 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 "If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will trust to you the true riches?
Ma komail sota apwali mau pai pali pa, is me pan liki ong komail pai pali poa?
12 "And if you are not faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?
O ma komail sota apwali mau en amen a kapwa, is me pan liki ong komail me udan omail?
13 "No one can be a household servants to two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will cling to the one and despise the other. You cannot be the slave of God and of Mammon."
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 Now the Pharisees who loved money listened to all this and they jeered at him.
Parisär akan, me kin pok ong moni, pil rongadar mepukat, ap kaurureki i.
15 He said to them. "You are those that justify themselves in the eyes of men; but God knows you hearts; for that which is lofty in the eyes of men is abomination in the eyes of 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 "The Law and the Prophet lasted until John; since then the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and any one presses 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 "Yet it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away then for one title of the law to fail.
Nan me mongai, lang o sappa pan sorela, sang ekis kisan kapung en lokidokila.
18 "Every man who divorces his wife and marries some one else, commits adultery; and he who marries one who is put away by her husband 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 "Now there was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and made merry every day in splendor.
Ol kapwapwa men mia, me a likau waitata o materok o a kin kamadip o peren ni ran karos.
20 "And a certain beggar named Lazarus was thrown at his door.
O pil amen ol me samama, ad a Lasarus, me kin wonon pan wanim en ol kapwapwa o; a kensela kili karos.
21 "He was full of sores, and longingly desired to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes! 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 "But in the course of time the beggar died; and he was carried by angels into Abraham’s bosom. 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 "And as he was tormented in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Ni a mi nan pweleko, wasan waiwairok, ap sarada, udial Apraam ni wasa doo o Lasarus mondi pon kapa, (Hadēs g86)
24 "And he cried out and said, ‘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 anguish in this flame.’
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 "‘Remember my son.’ said Abraham, ‘that you had in your lifetime all your good things, and in the same way Lazarus his evil things; but now here he is comforted, and you are in anguish.
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 "But besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who want to cross from here to you cannot, nor can those who would cross from you 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 "‘I beg you then, father,’ he said, ‘send him to my fathers house. For I have five brothers.
A ap inda: I ap men poeki, sam ai, komui en kotin poronelang Lasarus nan im en sam ai.
28 "‘Let him earnestly warn them, lest they too come to 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 said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets, let them listen to them.’
A Apraam masani ong i: Moses o saukop akan mi re’rail, ren nok rong irail.
30 "‘Nay, Father Abraham,’ he said ‘but if some one went to them from the dead they would repent.’
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 "‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets,’ said Father Abraham, ‘neither will they be persuaded if one should rise 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.
