Luke 16
1 Jesus said to his disciples: “There was a rich man who had a steward; and this steward was maliciously accused to him of wasting his estate.
U Yisu avavulile khange avakhongi vamwene vamwene, “Pale nu munu umo unkhavi nu vavaha avulilwe ukhuta umbaha uyu inangaviya ikyuma kya mwene.
2 So the master called him and said ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give in your accounts, for you cannot act as steward any longer.’
Pu unkhavi akhamwilanga akhambula, “Khinukhi ikhi nipulikha khulyuve? Humya imbalilo incha mbaha vakho, ulwakhuva sawiwesya ukhuva mbaha lino.'
3 ‘What am I to do,’ the steward asked himself, ‘now that my master is taking the steward’s place away from me? I have not strength to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
Umbaha ula akhanchova munumbula mumwene, Nivombe khikhi, uvunonu wa ntwa vango ikhung'encha mu mbombo yango iya vuvaha? Nelivuvule amakha aga khulima nu khudova dova nevona soni.
4 I know what I will do, so that, as soon as I am turned out of my stewardship, people may welcome me into their homes.’
Nelulumanyile eliyakhiva nie vomba upuyakhiva vikhung'e ncha mu mbombo yango iya vuloleli uwa vanu pu avene va ng'egelenche mu mbunchenge wa vene.
5 One by one he called up his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked of the first.
Pu umbaha va vuloleli akhavilanga avanyamikolegwia ntwa va mwene, akhambula uva khwancha, 'vudayiwa ilingi nu ntwa vango?'
6 ‘Four hundred and forty gallons of oil,’ answered the man. ‘Here is your agreement,’ he said; ‘sit down at once and make it two hundred and twenty.’
Akhanchova ifipimilo khinchigo ifya mono, akhambula 'tola ilikhuratasi uvige “50” hamsini.”
7 And you, the steward said to the next, ‘how much do you owe?’ ‘Seventy quarters of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Here is your agreement,’ the steward said; ‘make it fifty-six.’
hange ambula uyunge nuve ulinilikhole ilingi?' akhanchova akhata nilinilikhole ilya fipimo “100” ifya vutineuwa ngano.' Akhambula akhatatola ikyandikhilo wandikhe “80”.'
8 His master complimented this dishonest steward on the shrewdness of his action. And indeed men of the world are shrewder in dealing with their fellow-men than those who have the Light. (aiōn g165)
Pu untwa akhagwiya umbaha umbivi vu avombile khu vala avanyamakhole. Ulwakhuva avana va khilunga ikhi valinu luhala ukhulutilila nu khuvomba khuluhala ulwa pakyanya pu avanu avaluvafu ulwa vene valipakyanya pa vanya lumuli. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you ‘Win friends for yourselves with your dishonest money,’ so that, when it comes to an end, there may be a welcome for you into the Eternal Home. (aiōnios g166)
Nune nikhuvavula mwivombelage ukhuva na vayinyikhu kyuma ikya vuviviukhuta puyakhiva sawipata vavahegelenche khu vutavuo uwa sikhu nchoni. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is trustworthy in the smallest matter is trustworthy in a great one also; and he who is dishonest in the smallest matter is dishonest in a great one also.
Uviale vaviyilweli khuvudebe iva vayilweli khuvu vaha. na aliye dhalimu katika lililo dogo huwa dhalimu katika lililo kubwa pia.
11 So, if you have proved untrustworthy with the ‘dishonest money,’ who will trust you with the true?
Ingave umwe samkhali vayilweli khu kyuma ikya vuvivi pu veni iva vayelweli khu kyuma ikya lweli?
12 And, if you have proved untrustworthy with what does not belong to us, who will give you what is really our own?
Pu ingave mukhale vasita khuva vayilweli pa khu vombela ikyuma kya munu uyunge veni uviyakhiva ikhuvapa ikhiyakhiva ikhuvapa ikhikhivile khinyo yumwe?
13 No servant can serve two masters, for, either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will attach himself to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.”
Asikhuli umbomba mbombo uviiwesya ukhuvavombela avatwa vavili, ulwakhuva ayigugane yumo nu khusula uyunge nu khwiyibata nuyu nu khubeda uyu. Samukhawesye ukhumombela Unguluve ne kyuma.”
14 All this was said within hearing of the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, and they began to sneer at Jesus.
Pu Avafalisayo vuvavo valikhunogwa ihela, pu vagapulikhe aga goni pu vakhabeda.
15 “You,” said Jesus, “are the men who justify themselves before the world, but God can read your hearts; and what is highly esteemed among men may be an abomination in the sight of God.
Pu akhavavula, “Umwe ukhuta mukhiginiya khuvulongolo khuvanu, pu Unguluve akhanchimanya inumbula nchetu. Ulwakhuva ilimikhiwe khu munu liva livivi khuvulongolo khwa Nguluve.
16 The Law and the Prophets sufficed until the time of John. Since then the Good News of the Kingdom of God has been told, and everybody has been forcing his way into it.
Indagilo ncha vanyamalago nchale punchile vu uYohani vuinchile. Ukhuhuma usikhi ugwa imola inonu incha vutwa wa Nguluve ukwinchofancha, nu munu uvavenchaga igela ukhwigila khu makha.
17 It would be easier for the heavens and the earth to disappear than for one stroke of a letter in the Law to be lost.
Ukhuva ikhilunga khipepe fihege ukhuhuma endagilo yimo yihege.
18 Every one who divorces his wife and marries another woman is an adulterer, and the man who marries a divorced woman is an adulterer.
Uvi ikhundekha udala nu khugula uyunge nu khutola vatamaniyege iva aligwipe nukhuva indigu, nu yunge uvi ikhutola ula uvialekhilwe nu gosi, ivaindigu.
19 There was once a rich man, who dressed in purple robes and fine linen, and feasted every day in great splendour.
Khwale nu munu umo utayili afwalile iyenda igya mavuva igi ngaladikha igya zambarau ne kitani ikhi nonu, pu alikhuhovokha imisikhi gyoni nu vukhavi wa mwene uvuvaha.
20 Near his gateway there had been laid a beggar named Lazarus, who was covered with sores,
Nu ganchu umo ilitawa lya mwene ele vi Lazaro avikhiwe pa ndyango ugwa tayili, pu ale ni fikhoho.
21 and who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the very dogs came and licked his sores.
Pu umwene anogwagwa ukhulya amalagalila agagwile pasi aga fyakhulya pa mesa iya tayili uchili khu myianga ifikho ho ifya uganchu.
22 After a time the beggar died, and was taken by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
Pu ula uganchu akhefwa nu khutoliwa nu unsuhwa nu khumbikha khukhifwa ikya Ibrahimu pu khifwa ikya Irahimu. Pu utayili vope akhafwa nu khusyila.
23 In the Place of Death he looked up in his torment, and saw Abraham at a distance and Lazarus at his side. (Hadēs g86)
Na khuvufwe vuigatanchiwa nu vugatale, akhalola amiho khu kyanya akhambona uIrahamu khuvutale nu Lazaro pa khifuva ikya Irahimu. (Hadēs g86)
24 So he called out ‘Pity me, Father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering agony in this flame.’
Akhalila akhanchova, 'Dada rahamu, umbonele ikhisa, usuhe uLazaro anyofye ikhimelelencha ikya fikhonche mumagasi, ahovosye ululimi lwango; ulwakhuva ni gatanchiwa nu mwoto ugu.
25 ‘Child,’ answered Abraham, ‘remember that you in your lifetime received what you thought desirable, just as Lazarus received what was not desirable; but now he has his consolation here, while you are suffering agony.
Pu Brahamu akhanchova, 'Mwanavango usage imbukhulilo wakho uvombile imbombo ilingi ivinonu, nu Lazaro nave apilile amavivi. Lino alyapa ihekhela, nuve pu vugatanchiwa.
26 And not only that, but between you and us there lies a great chasm, so that those who wish to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they cross from there to us.’
Khu goni ago khuvikhiwe iliguli ilivaha nu vutale pa gati, ukhuta avinogwa ukhuhuma nu khulovokha, ukhwivicha khulyumwe valemwage na va khulyumwe vope valemwage ukhwincha ukhwa.'
27 ‘Then, Father,’ he said, ‘I beg you to send Lazarus to my father’s house —
Utayili akhanchova, 'Nukhudova Dada Brahamu, nikhukhudova usuhe khukha khwa dada vango
28 For I have five brothers to warn them, so that they may not come to this place of torture also.’
khu khaya khuvale avalukholo lwango vahano ukhuta avavunge khuluvipi ukhuta vope yuvikhwincha khunu, khulivupala fincho, valekhe ukhwincha. '
29 ‘They have the writings of Moses and the Prophets,’ replied Abraham; ‘let them listen to them.’
Pu u Brahamu akhanchova, 'Khuvale avanyamalago nu Mose vilekhelwe vavapulehinchage avo.
30 ‘But, Father Abraham,’ he urged, ‘if some one from the dead were to go to them, they would repent.’
Pu untayili akhanchova, 'asikhuli, Dada uBrahamu, lino ingave umunu ihuma khuvunchukha pu ya vipela.'
31 ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets,’ answered Abraham, ‘they will not be persuaded, even if some one were to rise from the dead.’”
Pu Brahamu akhavavula, 'vangave savikhuvapulikha avo uMose na vanyamalago savakhidikhe nela pwu hume umunu khuvunchukha savakhawesye ukhupulikha.
