Luke 16
1 He said also to His disciples: "There was a rich man who had a steward, about whom a report was brought to him, that he was wasting his property.
Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Oasr sie mwet na kasrup, su filiya sie mwet tutafpo in liyaung ma lal nukewa. Na fwackyang nu sin mwet kasrup sac lah mwet tutafpo se lal ah supoklotina ma lal uh.
2 He called him and said, "'What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, for I cannot let you hold it any longer.'
Ouinge el pangnolma ac fahk nu sel, ‘Mea nga lohng keim inge? Ase nu sik sie pwepu in akkalemye orekmakinyen ma luk uh sum, mweyen kom ac tia sifil karingin ma luk uh.’
3 "Then the steward said within himself, "'What am I to do? For my master is taking away the stewardship from me. I am not strong enough for field labour: to beg, I should be ashamed.
Ac mwet tutafpo sac sifacna nunku in el, ‘Mea nga ac oru, ke leum luk el akola in sisyula liki orekma luk uh? Nga munas in wi puk laf, ac nga mwekin in ngusr.
4 I see what to do, in order that when I am discharged from the stewardship they may give me a home in their own houses.'
Kwal, nga etu lah mea nga ac oru, tuh mwet uh in suliyu nu in lohm selos tukun sisila nga liki orekma luk.’
5 "So he called all his master's debtors, one by one, and asked the first, 'How much are you in debt to my master?'
Ouinge el solama kais sie mwet ma oasr soemoul la nu sin leum sac. El siyuk sin mwet se meet ah, ‘Lupa su soemoul lom nu sin leum luk?’
6 "'A hundred firkins of oil,' he replied. "'Here is your account,' said the steward: 'sit down quickly and change it into fifty firkins.'
Ac el topuk, ‘Barrel siofok ke oil in olive.’ Na mwet tutafpo sac fahk nu sel, ‘Pa inge pwepu in misa lom uh. Muta insacn, simusla ma lumngaul.’
7 "To a second he said, "'And how much do you owe?' "'A hundred quarters of wheat,' was the answer. "'Here is your account,' said he: 'change it into eighty quarters.'
Na el sifil siyuk sin sie pac, ‘Ac kom, lupa su soemoul lom?’ Ac mwet sac topuk, ‘Sie tausin bushel in wheat.’ Na mwet tutafpo sac fahk ouinge, ‘Pa inge pwepu in misa lom uh. Simusla ma oalfoko.’
8 "And the master praised the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for, in relation to their own contemporaries, the men of this age are shrewder than the sons of Light. (aiōn g165)
Ouinge, leum lun mwet tutafpo kutasrik sac kaksakunul ke inkanek usrnguk ma el oru, mweyen mwet facl se inge arulana yohk usrnguk lalos ke ma elos oru, liki mwet lun kalem uh.” (aiōn g165)
9 "But I charge you, so to use the wealth which is ever tempting to dishonesty as to win friends who, when it fails, shall welcome you to the tents that never perish. (aiōnios g166)
Ac Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “Ke ma inge nga fahk nu suwos: orekmakin mwe kasrup lun faclu tuh kowos in konauk mwet kawuk lowos, na ke pacl se lisr, ac fah suliyuk kowos nu in lohm kawil. (aiōnios g166)
10 The man who is honest in a very small matter is honest in a great one also; and he who is dishonest in a very small matter is dishonest in a great one also.
Kutena mwet su oaru in ma srik, ac fah oaru pac ke ma yohk; ac kutena mwet su sesuwos in ma srik ac fah sesuwos pac ke ma yohk.
11 If therefore you have not proved yourselves faithful in dealing with the wealth that is tainted with fraud, who will entrust to you the true good?
Kowos fin soaru in karingin mwe kasrup lun faclu, ac ku in lulalfongiyuk kowos fuka in karingin mwe kasrup pwaye uh?
12 And if you have not been faithful in dealing with that which is not your own, who will give you that which is your own?
Ac kowos fin soaru in karingin ma lun siena mwet, su ac ku in sot ma lowos?
13 "No servant can be in bondage to two masters. For either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will cling fast to one and scorn the other. You cannot be bondservants both of God and of gold."
“Wangin mwet kulansap ku in kulansapu leum luo. El ac srunga sie, ac lungse el ngia; el ac pwaye nu sin sie, ac kwase el ngia. Kowos koflana kulansupu God ac mani.”
14 To all this the Pharisees listened, bitterly jeering at Him; for they were lovers of money.
Ke mwet Pharisee elos lohng ma inge elos isrun Jesus, mweyen elos lungse mani.
15 "You are they," He said to them, "who boast of their own goodness before men, but God sees your hearts; for that which holds a proud position among men is detestable in God's sight.
Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Kowos sifacna oru lumowos in suwohs ye mutun mwet uh, tusruk God El etu insiowos. Tuh ma su mwet uh pangon yohk sripa selos, ma inge pilasr ye mutun God.
16 The Law and the Prophets continued until John came: from that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God has been spreading, and all classes have been forcing their way into it.
“Ma Sap lal Moses ac ma simusla lun mwet palu uh orekmakinyuk na nwe ke pacl lal John Baptais ah. In pacl sac me, Pweng Wo ke Tokosrai lun God uh fwackyak, ac mwet uh aikusiyak in utyak nu loac.
17 But it is easier for earth and sky to pass away than for one smallest detail of the Law to fall to the ground.
Tusruktu, fisrasr tuh kusrao ac faclu in wanginla, liki sie akul srisrik ke sie leta ke Ma Sap uh in wanginla.
18 Every man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and he who marries her when so divorced from her husband commits adultery.
“Kutena mukul su sisla mutan kial ac payuk nu sin sie pacna mutan, el orek kosro; ac sie mukul su payuk nu sin mutan sisila se, el oayapa orek kosro.
19 "There was once a rich man who habitually arrayed himself in purple and fine linen, and enjoyed a splendid banquet every day,
“Oasr sie mwet kasrup su nukum nuknuk na yohk molo, ac el moul in mut len nukewa.
20 while at his outer door there lay a beggar, Lazarus by name,
Na oasr pac sie mwet sukasrup pangpang Lazarus, su manol nuklana ke ruf, ac kwacna utukla el in muta ke mutunoa in lohm sin mwet kasrup sac,
21 covered with sores and longing to make a full meal off the scraps flung on the floor from the rich man's table. Nay, the dogs, too, used to come and lick his sores.
mweyen el finsrak na elan ku in kang kutkut in mongo ma ac putatla liki tepu lun mwet kasrup sac. Kosro ngalngul uh ac tuku pac lohi ruf kacl uh.
22 "But in course of time the beggar died; and he was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and had a funeral.
Mwet sukasrup sac misa, ac lipufan uh usalla elan tuh muta siskal Abraham ke kufwa inkusrao uh. Mwet kasrup sac misa ac pukpuki el,
23 And in Hades, being in torment, he looked and saw Abraham in the far distance, and Lazarus resting in his arms. (Hadēs g86)
ac ke el muta in Hades, yen ma el pulakin keok upa nu sel, el ngetak ac liyal Abraham yen loessula, ac Lazarus el muta siskal. (Hadēs g86)
24 So he cried aloud, and said, "'Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.'
Na el pangyak ac fahk, ‘Papa Abraham! Pakomutuk, ac supwalma Lazarus elan isongya kufinpaol in kof an ac kahlye mutun louk in akoyohuyauk, tuh nga muta in keok lulap in e se inge!’
25 "'Remember, my child,' said Abraham, 'that you had all your good things during your lifetime, and that Lazarus in like manner had his bad things. But, now and here, he is receiving consolation and you are in agony.
Ac Abraham el fahk, ‘Ma nutik, esam lah pacl kom moul muta fin faclu ma nukewa wo ac fisrasr nu sum, a funu Lazarus el muta in ongoiya ac moul upa. Inge el muta insewowo inse, a kom muta in keok.
26 And, besides all this, a vast chasm is immovably fixed between us and you, put there in order that those who desire to cross from this side to you may not be able, nor any be able to cross over from your side to us.'
Sayen ma inge, oasr luf na lulap se srikutelik, pwanang kutena mwet ma ac ke fahsrot ingewot nu yurum ac tia ku in orala, ac wangin pac mwet ac ku in tuku yurum me nu yorosr.’
27 "'I entreat you then, father,' said he, 'to send him to my father's house.
Na mwet kasrup sac fahk, ‘Fin ouingan nga kwafe sum, Papa Abraham, supwalla Lazarus nu in lohm sin papa tumuk,
28 For I have five brothers. Let him earnestly warn them, lest they also come to this place of torment.'
yen tamulel limekosr luk oasr we. Lela elan som ac sensenkunulos, tuh elos in mau tia tuku nu yen waiok se inge.’
29 "'They have Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham; 'let them hear them.'
Abraham el fahk, ‘Kas lal Moses ac lun mwet palu uh oasr yorolos. Elos in porongo kas lalos an.’
30 "'No, father Abraham,' he pleaded; 'but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
Mwet kasrup sac fahk, ‘Papa Abraham, srakna sufal ma kom fahk ingan! Tuh fin oasr mwet se moulyak liki misa ac som nu yorolos, na elos fah ku in auliyak ac forla liki ma koluk lalos.’
31 "'If they are deaf to Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham, 'they would not be led to believe even if some one should rise from the dead.'"
Ac Abraham el fahk, ‘Elos fin tia lohngol Moses ac mwet palu uh, elos ac tia pac lulalfongi finne oasr mwet se moulyak liki misa.’”
