Luke 16
1 He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh: “Thlang boei pynoet awm nawh anih a tangka ak khoemkung ing tangka poeih pe kang hy tinawh amik kqawn ce zahy.
2 He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
Cedawngawh a boei ing khy nawh doet hy, ‘Na kawng kang zaak ve ikawmyihna a awmnaak? Tangka na khoem ce nim huh lah, ka tangka ak koemkung na am awm hly voel hyk ti,’ tina hy.
3 “The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
Cedawngawh tangka ak khoemkung ing ‘ikawmyihna nu ka ti lah kaw? Ka boeipa ing ka bibi awm ni qoek hly sak hawh hy. Dek deng aham awm kak tha am awm koek, thlang a venawh kut dun aham awm chak koek bai nyng.
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
Ka sai hly taw sim hawh nyng, cawh ni bibi ani phawh awhtaw thlangkhqi ing kai ve ami im awh ami ni do hly hy,’ tihy.
5 Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
Cedawngawh a boeipa a ik-oeih ak pukhqi ce khy hy. Lamma cyk awhkaw thlang ce khy nawh, ‘Ka boeipa a koe ik-oeih izah nu nak pu peek? tina hy.
6 He said, ‘A hundred batos [800 Gal; 3,028 L] of oil.’ ‘Take your note back,’ he told him. ‘Now, quickly! Sit down and write one for fifty [400 Gal; 1,514 L]!’
Anih ing, ‘Olive situi boet zaqeet,’ tina hy. Law lah, ang tawnna ngawi nawhtaw zali na sai mai,’ tina hy.
7 Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘One thousand bushels of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your note back and write one for eight hundred’
Cekcoengawh a pak khihnaak awhkaw thlang ce doet tlaih bai hy, ‘Nang law izah nak pu? tina hy. “Anih ing, ‘Canghum sum thongkhat,’ tina hy. Tangka ak pukung ing, ‘Nak punaak cahawn ce lo nawhtaw sum zaqeet na sai mai,’ tina hy.
8 “His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light. (aiōn g165)
Amak thym na bi ak bi tangka ak khoemkung ing cyihnaak ing bi a bi dawngawh a boeipa ing kyih am cah hy. Ve khawmdek thlangkhqi ing a mimah a ik-oeih ami sai awhtaw vangnaak khuiawh ak awmkhqi anglakawh awm cyi ngai uhy. (aiōn g165)
9 I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon ·wealth·, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (aiōnios g166)
Nangmih a venawh ka nik kqawn peek khqi, pyi sainaak aham khawmdek boeinaak ce hawna lah uh, cawh ni ce mihkhqi boeih a boeih coengawh, a mingmih ing kumqui awmnaak hun awh nangmih ce ani do hly khqi hy. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
U awm ik-oeih a khoehca awh ypawm na ak awm taw ik-oeih khawzah awh awm ypawm na awm hy, cehlai ik-oeih a khoehca awh ypawm na amak awm taw ik-oeih khawzah awh awm upvoet na awm hy.
11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon ·wealth·, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Khawmdek boeinaak awh zani ama ypawm awhtaw, u ing nu boeimangnaak tang tang ce ani khoem sak kaw?
12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
Thlang a ik-oeih awh ypvoet na na awm coengawh taw, u ing nu nang ce ik-oeih a ni peek kaw?
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and show agapao ·total devotion love· to the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and Mammon ·Wealth·.”
Tyihzoeih thlang pynoet ing boei pakkhih a bi pakkhih am bawk thai hy. Pynoet ce sawh na kawmsaw pynoet ce lungna kaw, am awhtaw pynoet ce ypna kawmsaw pynoet taw hep kaw. Khawsa bi ingkaw tangka bi am bawk hly thai qen hyk ti,’ tinak khqi hy.
14 The Pharisees [Separated], who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
Tangka amik thintlawhnaak Farasikhqi ing ce ak awi ce a ming zaak awh Jesu ce qaih na uhy.
15 He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Thlang amik huh awh nangmih ing thlakdyng na sa qu uhyk ti, cehlai Khawsa ing nangmih ak kawlung ce sim hy. Thlang ing a phu ak tlo soeih na a taak ce Khawsa mik huh awhtaw tyih cu hy.
16 The Torah ·Teaching· and the Prophets were until John [Yah is gracious]. Since then the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
Johan a khuk dy ni anaa awi ingkaw tangkakhqi ca qee ce amik khypyi hy. Cekcoengawh kawng Khawsa ram awithang ce khypyi hawh uhy, thlang boeih ing ce ak khuiawh kun aham tha lo uhy.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Torah ·Teaching· become void.
Anaa awi awhkaw a dek zet ce ang qeng anglakawhtaw khawk khan ingkaw khawmdek ang qeng zoei bet kaw.
18 Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another moicheuo ·commits adultery·. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband moicheuo ·commits adultery·.

19 “Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
Kuiqang thlang pynoet awm nawh hik thim ingkaw hi ak leek leek ing myngawi ang thoeihcam qu coengawh awm hly poepa hy.
20 A certain beggar, named Lazarus [Help of God], was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Ak chawmkeng a keng awh Lazaru ak mingnaak kut ak dun thlang pynoet ce awm hy, a pum boeih na phoei ing bawm nawh,
21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
kuiqang a caboei awhkaw ak tla awkdik aidik ce ai aham ngaih hy. Uikhqi ing ak phoei ce leek pe uhy.
22 The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
Cawhkaw kut ak dun thlang ce thi nawh khan ceityihkhqi ing Abraham a venna khyn uhy. Kuiqang thlang awm thi lawt nawh pup uhy.
23 In Hades / Sh'ol ·Place of the dead·, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham [Father of a multitude] far off, and Lazarus [Help of God] at Abraham's bosom, (the righteous side of Sheol). (Hadēs g86)
Hell khuina khuikha a sim cilh cilh awh ak hla nakawng Abraham ingkaw a venawh Lazaru ak awm ce hu hy. (Hadēs g86)
24 He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham [Father of a multitude], have mercy on me, and send Lazarus [Help of God], that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
Ak khy doe na, ‘Ka pa Abraham, qeennaak ing Lazaru ce tyi nawhtaw tui awh a kutply pui seitaw kam lai ve ci law sak lah seh, vawhkaw mai awh ve khuikha cip cip hawh nyng ve,’ tina hy.
25 “But Abraham [Father of a multitude] said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus [Help of God], in the same way, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
Cehlai Abraham ing, ‘Ka capa, na hqing khui pyt awh ik-oeih ak leek leek hu tiksaw, Lazaru taw ik-oeih che a huh ce poek lah, cehlai tuh awhtaw anih ing ngaihdingnaak hu nawh nang taw khuikha hyk ti.
26 Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
Vekkhqi boeih coengawh, nang ingkaw kaimih anglakawh lawk-kqawng ak dung soeih awm hy, cedawngawh vawhkawng nang a venna u awm am cet thai hy, nang a venna kawng vena u awm am law thai bai hy,’ tina hy.
27 “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, Abba father, that you would send him to 'Avi ·my Father·’s house;
Cawh anih ing, ‘cawhtaw ka pa Abraham, qeennaak thoeh law nyng, Lazaru ce Ka pa im na tyi cang lah,
28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
Ka naa thlang pumha awm hyn hy. Vawhkaw khuikha simnaak a hun awh a mami lawnaak thai aham anih ing kqawn law pe cang lah seh nyng,’ tina hy.
29 “But Abraham [Father of a multitude] said to him, ‘They have Moses [Drawn out] and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
Abraham ing, ‘Mosi ingkaw tawnghakhqi ta hawh usaw ti a; cekkhqi ak awi ce ngai mai u seh,’ tina hy.
30 “He said, ‘No, Abba father Abraham [Father of a multitude], but if one goes to them from the dead, they will make teshuvah ·complete repentance·.’
Anih ing, ‘Amni, ka pa Abraham, thlak thi ak khuiawh kawng thlang pynoet oet a mingmih a venna a ceh mantaw thawlh zut kawm uh,’ tina hy.
31 “He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses [Drawn out] and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
Abraham ing a venawh, ‘Mosi ingkaw tawnghakhqi ak awi ce a maming ngai awhtaw, thihnaak ak khuiawh kawng thlang tho nawh kqawn pe bai seiawm am ngai hly uhy,’ tina hy,” tinak khqi hy.
