Luke 16
1 AND he spake a parable to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a house-chief; and he was accused to him that his substance he wasted.
Jesu naye cha wamba valutwana vakwe, “Kuvena mukwame wa muhumi avena muyendisi wa misevezi yakwe, mi kuva vihiwa kuti muyendisi wa misevezi ya kwe u kwete ku mu sinyeza iluwo lya kwe.
2 And his lord called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give me the account of thy house-headship; for thou canst no longer be house-chief unto me.
Cwale muhumi cha musupa mi chati kwali, 'Zintu nzi zi nizule kuamana niwe? U nihe chakwizula za musevezi wako, ili kuti kese uzwile havusu ni vuyendisi.'
3 And the house-chief said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the house-headship. I cannot dig, and to beg I am ashamed.
Muyendisi cha liwambila, 'chiniswanela kupanga chinzi, hakuva mukulwana choni zwisa musevezi? Ka nina ziho za kusha, mi niswava ku mukumbila.
4 I know what I will do, that when I shall be put out of the house-headship, they may receive me into their houses.
Nizi chini swanela ku tenda, ili kuti china zwiswa ha musevezi wangu wa vu yendisi, bantu va ni tambule mu mazuvo avo.
5 And he called one by one from the debtors of his lord, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
Cwale muyendisi chasupa zumwi ni zumwi ya vaali kukolota si mwin'a kwe, mi cha vuza we ntazi, 'U kolota vukayi simwin'a ngu? 6.
6 And he said to him, An hundred metres of oil. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down quickly, and write fifty metres.
Cha wamba, 'Ni kolota makumi ekumi ya byima bya mafuta e oli.' Mi chati kwali, muhinde zikoloti zenu, mwikale kapili, mi muñole makumi akwana yanza.'
7 And he said to another, And thou, how much owest thou to my lord? He saith to him, An hundred kureen of wheat. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down, write eighty kureen.
Cwale muyendisi cha wamba ku zumwi, 'mi vukayi yo kolota?' Chati, 'makumi ekumi a vuyima bwa vuroto.' Chati kwali, 'hinde chikoloti mi u ñole makumi akwana yenza ni to tatwe.
8 And praised our Lord the house-chief who was unjust, in that he had done wisely; for the sons of this world are wiser than the sons of light in this their generation. (aiōn g165)
Simwin'a kwe cha lumba chikombwa chi sa sepahali kakuti ava sevezi mu kusasepahala. Vaana ve fasi ilyi vena ahulu mukusa sepahala chiva kwete kuseveza ni vantu vavo hita vaana vena mu liseli. (aiōn g165)
9 Also I say unto you, Make to you friends from this wealth of unrighteousness, that, when perfect, they may receive you into the tabernacles of eternity. (aiōnios g166)
Ni wamba kwenu, mutende valikani che nzila za mashenyi a sa sepahali, kutendela kuti chi bwamana, va woole ku mitambula mu mazuvo asamani. (aiōnios g166)
10 Whoever in the little is faithful, in the great also is faithful; and he who in the little is unjust, in the great also is unjust.
Iye yo sepahala ku zinini mwa sepahale ni ku zikando, mi niya sasepahali mu zinini kasepahali mu zikando.
11 If, therefore, in the wealth of unrighteousness you have not been faithful, the truth to you who will confide?
Haiva kena u va sepahali ku ku sevelisa mashelenyi a fosahele, nje ni yeta kusepe mu chifumu che niti?
12 And if in that which is not yours you are not found faithful, your own who will give to you?
Mi haiva kawini ku sepahala mu kusevelisa mashelinyi a vamwi, njeni ya sa kuhe mashelenyi ako u mwine?
13 No man can serve two lords; for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or the one he will honour, and the other despise. You cannot serve Aloha and wealth.
Ka kwina muhikana yo wola ku seveleza malena vo vele, kusicwalo mwa toye umwi ni kusaka zumwi, mwa kumalele umwi kapa kunyefula zumwi. Ko woli kuseveleza Ereeza ni chifumu.
14 But the Pharishee, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.
Hanu Vafalisi, va vali kusaka hahulu mashelenyi, va va zuwi zoose inzi, mi chi va museka.
15 But Jeshu said to them, You are they who justify yourselves before the sons of men; but Aloha knoweth your hearts. For, what is exalted among men, before Aloha is abominable.
Mi chati kuvali, “Mu li shiyamisa mu menso a vantu, kono Ireeza wizi ikulo zenu. Zina zivoneka vulotu mumeeso a vantu kwe Reeza zi fosahele.
16 The law and the prophets were until Juchanon; from thenceforth the kingdom of Aloha is preached, and every one presseth to enter.
Mulao ni vupolofita ziva kuseveza kuleta Johani hasika. Ku zwa iyo nako, inzwii lya muvuso we Reeza li va kutazwa, mi zumwi ni zumwi ava sa kuhambiliza inzila za vo mwateni.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than one letter from the law to pass away.
Kono kuhuva kwiwulu ni hansi zi mane isi kuti intaku imwi ya mulao sanzi ivi ni mutendo.
18 Every one who looseth his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and every one who taketh the dismissed, committeth adultery.
Yense yo kauhana ni mwanakazi wakwe ni kusesa zumwi u chita vushahi, mi yo sesa mwanakazi ya va kanwa kwa mwihyabwe naye utenda vushahi.
19 NOW there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in byssos and purple, and every day feasted gaily.
Linu ku vena mukwame ya va humite, ya va kuzwete zi zwato ze pulipera ni line mi mazuva onse ava kulikola chifumu cha kwe.
20 And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Loózar; and he lay at the gate of him who was rich, bruised with wounds,
Mukumbizi ava kusumpwa Lazaro ava lele hamulyango, avali kwizwile zilavi muvili wonse.
21 and desired to fill his belly with the crumbs which fell from the table of that rich. And also the dogs came and licked his wounds.
Mi avali kuhala kulya vungululwa vu vali kuwa hentafule ya muhumi, mi kuzwaho, vambwa va vali kukomba zilavi zakwe.
22 Now that poor man died, and angels conducted him to the bosom of Abraham: but that rich man also died, and was buried.
Ku vezi kuva kuti mukumbizi chafwa, mi avezi ku hindwa mangeloi ku mutwala kwimbali ya Abrahama. Muhumi naye chafwa mi cha zikwa,
23 And, tormented in shiul, he lifted up his eyes afar, and seeth Abraham, and Loózar in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
mi mu lyangalilo, na sukulukite, cha kotola menso mi cha vona Abrahama nena vutavule ni Lazaro nena ha chizuva chakwe. (Hadēs g86)
24 And he cried with a high voice, and said, My father Abraham, have compassion upon me, and send Loózar, that he may dip the top of his finger in waters, and moisten my tongue; for, behold, I am tormented in this flame.
Cha lila mi chati, Tayo Abrahama, uni zuwile kusasama, mi tumine Lazaro, kuti a tompe munwe wakwe mu menzi mi nja tontoze lulimi lwangu, kakuti ni hile maswe mowu mulilo.
25 Abraham said to him, My son, remember that thou didst receive thy goods in thy life, and Loózar his evils, and now, behold, he reposeth here, and thou art tormented.
Kono Abrahama chati, 'mwan'a ngu, u hupule kuti muvuhalo bwako uva tambuli zako zilotu, mi Lazaro mwinzila iswana ava ku tavela zintu zivilala, kono hanu cho kwete kusengwa sengwa kunu, mi iwe wina mumanyando.
26 And with all these, there is a great void set between us and you, that they who would pass from hence unto you are not able, nor they also who would pass from thence to us.
Mi kuzwaho zintu zoose, chigodi chikando chivavi mukati, ili kuti avo vasaka kuluta kuzwa kunu kwiza kwako kese vawole, mi kakwina yese awole kuzwa uko kwiza kwetu.'
27 He said to him, I pray thee, then, my father, to send him unto my father's house:
Muhumi chati, ni ku kumbila, Tayo Abrahama, kuti umuni tumine kuzuvo ya tayo
28 for five brethren have I; let him go and testify unto them, that they also come not to this place of torment.
kakuti nina vanche vava swisu va tenda yanza - kutendela kuti akava kalimele, kutiya kuti navo chiveza mwe chi chivaka cha masukuluka.'
29 Abraham said to him, They have Musha and the prophets, let them hear them.
Kono Abrahama chati, veena Mushe ni vapolofita; mu vasiye va tekeleze ku vali.'
30 But he said to him, No, my father Abraham, but if one from the dead shall go unto them, they repent.
Muhumi che tava chati, 'Nanta, Tayo Abrahama, kono haiva zumwi na yenda kuvali kuvafwile, mu va lichiule.'
31 Abraham saith to him, If Musha and the prophets they hear not, neither, if one from the dead should rise, would they believe him.
Kono Abrahama chati kwali, 'Haiba ni vasa tekelezi kwa Mushe ni vapolofita, kese vaole kuzumina ni haiva vafwile kuti va vuke.'”
