Luke 16
1 He was saying now also to the disciples (of him: *k) A man certain there was rich who had a manager, and he was accused unto him as wasting the possessions of him.
Wasekhuluma futhi kubafundi bakhe esithi: Kwakukhona umuntu othile onothileyo, owayelomphathi; lalo wayemangalelwe kuye njengochitha impahla yakhe.
2 And having called him he said to him; What [is] this I hear concerning you? do give the account of the stewardship of you; not for (you are able *N+kO) any longer to manage.
Wasembiza wathi kuye: Kuyini lokhu engikuzwayo ngawe? Landisa ngobuphathi bakho; ngoba ungebe usaba ngumphathi.
3 Said then within himself the manager; What shall I do, for the master of me is taking away the management from me? To dig not I am able, to beg I am ashamed.
Umphathi wasesithi ngaphakathi kwakhe: Ngizakwenzani, lokhu inkosi yami isingemuka ubuphathi? Kangilamandla okugebha, ngilenhloni zokuphanza.
4 I know what I may do so that when I may have been removed (from *no) the management they may receive me into the homes (of them. *NK+o)
Ngiyakwazi engizakwenza, ukuze nxa sengikhutshiwe ebuphathini, bangemukele ezindlini zabo.
5 And having called to [him] one each of the debtors of the master his own he was saying to the first; How much owe you to the master of me?
Wasebabizela kuye ngamunye abalemilandu enkosini yakhe, wathi kowokuqala: Ulomlandu ongakanani enkosini yami?
6 (then *NK+o) he said; A hundred baths of oil. (then *N+kO) he said to him; do take your (the bills *N+kO) and having sat down soon do write fifty.
Wasesithi yena: Izilinganiso ezilikhulu zamagcobo. Wasesithi kuye: Thatha incwadi yakho, uhlale phansi ubhale masinya amatshumi amahlanu.
7 Then to another he said; You yourself now how much owe? And he said; A hundred cors of wheat. (and *k) He says to him; do take your (bills *N+kO) and do write eighty.
Wasesithi komunye: Wena-ke ulomlandu ongakanani? Wasesithi: Izilinganiso ezilikhulu zamabele. Wasesithi kuye: Thatha incwadi yakho, ubhale amatshumi ayisificaminwembili.
8 And praised the master the manager unrighteous because shrewdly he had acted, For the sons of the age this more shrewd than the sons of the light in the generation their own are. (aiōn g165)
Inkosi yasimbabaza umphathi ongalunganga ngokuthi wenze ngokuhlakanipha; ngoba abantwana balesisikhathi bahlakaniphile esizukulwaneni sabo kulabantwana bokukhanya. (aiōn g165)
9 and I myself to you say; for yourselves do make friends by the wealth of unrighteousness, that when (it may fail *N+KO) they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
Lami ngithi kini: Zenzeleni lina abangane ngoMamona ongalunganga, ukuze kuthi, nxa selehlulekile, balemukele ezindlini eziphakade. (aiōnios g166)
10 The [one] faithful with very little also with much faithful is, and the [one] with very little unrighteous also with much unrighteous is.
Othembekileyo kokuncinyanyana uthembekile lakokukhulu, longathembekanga kokuncinyanyana kathembekanga lakokukhulu.
11 If therefore in the unrighteous wealth faithful not you have been, the true [riches] who to you will entrust?
Ngakho uba lingathembekanga kuMamona ongalunganga, ngubani ozaliphathisa into eqotho?
12 And if in that which [is] of another faithful not you have been, that which ([is] yours *NK+O) who to you will give
Futhi uba lingathembekanga kokomunye, ngubani ozalinika okungokwenu?
13 No servant is able to two masters to serve; either for the one he will hate and the other he will love, or to one he will be devoted and the other he will despise. Not you are able God to serve and money.
Kayikho inceku engakhonza amakhosi amabili; ngoba izazonda enye, ibisithanda enye; kumbe izabambelela kwenye, kodwa ibisidelela enye. Lingekhonze uNkulunkulu loMamona.
14 Were listening to now these things all (and *k) the Pharisees lovers of money being and they were ridiculing Him.
Njalo labaFarisi ababethanda imali bazizwa zonke lezizinto, basebemklolodela.
15 And He said to them; You yourselves are those justifying themselves before men, but God knows the hearts of you for that which among men [is] exalted an abomination before God (is. *k)
Kodwa wathi kubo: Lina yini elizilungisisayo phambi kwabantu, kodwa uNkulunkulu uyazazi inhliziyo zenu; ngoba lokho okuphakanyiswayo phakathi kwabantu kuyisinengiso phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
16 The law and the prophets [were] (until *N+kO) John; from that time the kingdom of God is evangelised [about], and everyone into it forces his way.
Umlayo labaprofethi kukhona kuze kube nguJohane; kusukela lapho ivangeli lombuso kaNkulunkulu liyatshunyayelwa, njalo wonke uyafohlela kuwo.
17 Easier for however it is the heaven and the earth to pass away than of the law one stroke of a pen to fail.
Kodwa kulula ukuthi kudlule izulu lomhlaba, kulokuthi kuwe ichatshana elilodwa lomlayo.
18 Everyone who is putting away the wife of him and marrying another commits adultery, And (everyone *k) who separated her from a husband marrying commits adultery.
Wonke owala umkakhe athathe omunye uyafeba; njalo wonke othatha owaliwe yindoda uyafeba.
19 A man now certain there was rich and he was clothed in purple and fine linen making good cheer every day in splendor.
Kwakukhona umuntu othile onothileyo, owayegqoka eziyibubende lamalembu acolekileyo kakhulu, ephila ngokuthokoza etamasa insuku zonke.
20 A poor man now certain (was *k) named Lazarus (who *k) had been laid at the gate of him full of sores
Kwakukhona futhi umyanga othile othiwa nguLazaro, owayebekiwe esangweni lakhe egcwele izilonda,
21 and desiring to be fed from (crumbs *KO) that falling from the table of the rich man; but even the dogs coming were licking the sores of him.
wafisa ukusuthiswa ngemvuthuluka eziwayo etafuleni lesinothi; kanti lezinja zazisiza zikhothe izilonda zakhe.
22 It came to pass that then to die the poor man and to be carried away he by the angels into the bosom of Abraham; Died then also the rich man and was buried.
Kwasekusithi ongumyanga wafa, wathwalelwa zingilosi esifubeni sikaAbrahama; lesinothi laso safa, sangcwatshwa.
23 And in Hades having lifted up the eyes of him, being in torment he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus in the bosom of him. (Hadēs g86)
Sisesihogweni saphakamisa amehlo aso, sisebuhlungwini, sabona uAbrahama ekhatshana, loLazaro esesifubeni sakhe. (Hadēs g86)
24 And he himself having cried out said; Father Abraham, do have mercy on me and do send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of the finger of him in water and may cool the tongue of mine, for I am suffering in flame this.
Sona sasesimemeza sisithi: Baba Abrahama, ngihawukela, uthume uLazaro, ukuze acwilise isihloko somunwe wakhe emanzini, apholise ulimi lwami; ngoba ngiyahlupheka kakhulu kulelilangabi.
25 Said then Abraham; Child, do remember that you did fully receive (you yourself *k) the [things] good of you in the lifetime of you, and Lazarus likewise the [things] harmful. Now however (here *N+kO) he is comforted, you yourself now are suffering.
Kodwa uAbrahama wathi: Ndodana, khumbula ukuthi wemukela okuhle kwakho empilweni yakho, loLazaro ngokunjalo okubi; kodwa khathesi uyaduduzwa, njalo wena uyahlupheka.
26 And (besides *N+kO) all these things between us and you a chasm great has been fixed so that those desiring to pass (from here *N+kO) to you not may be able nor (those *k) from there to us they shall pass.
Langaphezu kwakho konke lokhu, kubekiwe phakathi kwethu lani igebe elikhulu, ukuze kuthi abafuna ukuchapha besuka ngapha beze ngakini bangekwenze, labangapho bangechaphele ngakithi.
27 He said then; I implore you then father, that you may send him to the house of the father of mine —
Sasesisithi: Ngakho ngiyakuncenga, baba, ukuthi umthume endlini kababa,
28 I have for five brothers — so that he may warn to them that not also they themselves may come to place this of torment.
ngoba ngilabafowethu abahlanu, ukuze abaxwayise, hlezi labo beze kulindawo yokuhlupheka.
29 Says (however *no) (to him *ko) Abraham; They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.
UAbrahama wathi: BaloMozisi labaprofethi; kabezwe bona.
30 And he said; No, father Abraham, but if one from [the] dead shall go to them, they will repent.
Sona sasesisithi: Hatshi bo, baba Abrahama; kodwa uba omunye kwabafileyo esiya kubo, bazaphenduka.
31 He said however to him; If to Moses and the prophets not they listen, (not even *N+kO) if one out from [the] dead shall rise will they be persuaded.
Kodwa wathi kuso: Uba bengalaleli uMozisi labaprofethi, bangeke bavunyiswe lakho, loba kuvuka omunye kwabafileyo.
