Luka 16
1 Jesu go den yedi o ŋoadikaaba: “O piado den ye ki pia o ŋalimankubilo ke bi ti cua o kani ki kuli o ŋalimanikubilo yeni ke o biani o piama.
And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and this man was accused to him as squandering things possessed by him.
2 O den yini o ki yedi o: 'N gba ke bi maadi apo be n yeni? Doagidi ki waani nni a ŋalimankubili tuonli fuuli, kelima a kan go baa ki ya tie n ŋalimanikubilo.'
And having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about thee? Render the account of thy management, for thou can no longer manage.
3 O ŋalimankubilo yeni den yedi o pali nni: 'N canbaa baa ñani nni li ŋalimankubili tuonli nni. N baa tieni lede? Ki ko bu kpaabu? N kan fidi. ki ya miadi? Bu miabu pia nni i fe.
And the manager said within himself, What shall I do because my lord takes away the management from me? I am not able to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 N bani min baa tieni maama ke o ya ti ñani nni li ŋalimankubili tuonli nni, ke n gedi ki cani yaaba kuli, ban ga n cangu.'
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.
5 Lani o den yini o canbaa pandanba kuli yendo yendo. O den yedi yua n kpa cua: 'A pia n canbaa po i ŋa yo?'
And having summoned each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much do thou owe to my lord?
6 O den goa ki yedi o:' kpaboba kobiga.' O ŋalimankubilo den yedi o: 'Ga a panli tili ki kali ki diani tontoni kpaboba piimuu.'
And he said, A hundred measures of olive oil. And he said to him, Receive thy document, and having sat down, quickly write fifty.
7 O den yedi toa mo: 'A pia n can baa po i ŋa yo?' O den goa ki yedi: 'Halikama kpalipadi kobiga.' O ŋalimanbilo den yedi o: 'Ga a panli tili ki diani kpapadi piinii.'
Next he said to another, And how much do thou owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he says to him, Receive thy document, and write eighty.
8 O canbaa den pagi laa ŋalimankubilo yua n kaa tiegi, kelima o den tieni u fanu.” Jesu den pugini ki yedi: “Handuna yaaba fani leni bi lieba ki cie yaaba n tie mi yenma yaaba. (aiōn g165)
And his lord commended the unrighteous manager because he did shrewdly. Because the sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 N yedi yi ke yin taa mani ŋanduna ŋalimani yi n joagini yeni, ki baa danlinba, ke yi yaa ti pia yi ŋalimani ya yogunu, ban n ga yi cangu naani ki pia juodima nni. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, make friends for yourselves from the mammon of unrighteousness, so that, when ye cease, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 Ban fidi ki dugi yua po li bonwaala po, bi go baa dugi o yaapo yo ya bonla n yaba po. Yua n ki tiegi li bonwaala nni, o kan go ya tiegi ya bonla n yaba nni.
The man faithful in the least is faithful also in much, and the man unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
11 Lanwani bi yaa fidi ki dugi yipo leni yin kubi ŋanduna ŋalimani maama yi n pia i boandi, ŋme baa piani yi o ŋalimanmoano?
If therefore ye did not become faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you what is true?
12 Bi yaa fidi ki dugi yipo leni yin kubi nitoa ŋalimano maama, ŋme baa teni yi ya ŋalimano n tie yi yua?
And if ye did not become faithful in the alien, who will give thine to you?
13 Naacemo ba kuli kan fidi ki yaa tuuni canbaanba lie po, kelima o yaa baa nani o canbaakpialo ki bua o canbaalielo, o nan baa taabi o bonkpialo ki fali o bon lielo wani. Yi kan fidim ki ya taa ki tuuni U Tienu po leni ŋalimani po.”
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Falisieninba yaaba n den bua i ligi ke likandi den gbadi lankuli ki ñuadi Jesu.
And the Pharisees, being lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered him.
15 O den yedi ba: “yinba yi moandi ke bi niba n ya nua ke yi tiegi, ama U Tienu wani n bani yi pala. Bi niba n nua ke yaala n pia ti kpiagidi yeni tie caginde U Tienu po.
And he said to them, Ye are those who declare yourselves righteous in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. Because what is lofty among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Li balimaama leni bi sawalipuaba maama den die ki pundi ŋali Jan Batisi yogunu. Ki cili lanyogunu bi wangi U Tiennu diema laabaaliŋamo. Nilo kuli tieni u paalu ki bua ki kua lienni.
The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed good news, and every man in it is treated aggressively.
17 Tanpoli leni ki tinga pendima dingi ki cie li balimaama nni ba dianfuudi yenga n bodi ki kan tieni.
But it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
18 Yua n ñani o pua ki go taa potoa kuli conbi. Yua mo n taa ban ñani yaa pua kuli, o conbi.
Every man who divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery, and every man who marries her who has been divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 O piado den ye ki ye ki laa ti tiaciagidi, ki mangidi o pali daali leni o yeŋanma leni mi jemanma.
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously daily.
20 O luodo moko den ye ke bi yi o Lasala. O den yen dua o piado yeni diegu buliñoajabu nni ke o gbanandi kuli tie nala.
But there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who had been placed near his gate, covered with sores,
21 mi koma den kubi o ŋali ke o den bua ki yaa di yaa jiema n joagidi o piado yeni saaje kaanu kani. Baa i sangbanli den kpendi ki liadi o nala moko.
and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. But even the dogs that came licked his sores.
22 To, o luodo den kpe ke malekinba taa o ki geni Abalaŋama kani. O piado moko den ti kpe ke bi piino.
And it came to pass for the poor man to die and be carried by the agents to Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23 O den laadi fala bi tinkpiba n ye naankani. O den yaadi ki diidi ŋalifoagima, ki ban laa Abalaŋama leni Lasala ke o ye Abalaŋama kani. (Hadēs g86)
And having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus by his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 O den tiani ki yedi: 'N baa Abalaŋama, gbadi npo mi niŋima ki soani Lasala wan tu mi ñima leni o nabiyuli po ki cua ki kuugi npo n lanbu, kelima n laadi fala boncianla mi fantama na niini.'
And having cried out, he said, Father Abraham, be merciful to me, and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame.
25 Abalaŋama den goa ki yedi o: 'N biga, Tiadi ke a den baa yaala n ŋani boncianla ŋan den ye ya yogunu, ke Lasala mo den laadi fala boncianla. Moala, o ye ne ke bi baagidi o, a mo laadi fala.
But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now here he is comforted and thou are in agony.
26 Lani bebe ka, ku buociangu ye tinba leni yinba siiga, ki teni ke yaaba n bua ki ña ne ki gedi yipo kan fidi, yaaba n bua ki ña yi yaapo mo ki cua ti yaa kani kan fidi.'
And besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those here who want to cross over to you are not able, nor may those go across from there to us.
27 O piado den yedi: 'Lanwani n nan mia ŋa, `ŋan soani Lasala n baa den denpo.
And he said, I beg thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father's house,
28 Kelima n pia waamu muu. Wan gedi ki ban tuodi ki waani ba ke bani wani n da cua o naa fala biado kaanu na niini.'
for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abalaŋama den goa ki yedi o: 'A waamu pia Musa leni bi sawalipuaba kuli, ban cengi ba.'
But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them.
30 O piado den goa ki yedi: 'N baa Abalaŋama, yeni ka, yua n kpe yaa fii bi tinkpinba siiga ki gedi bi kani, bi baalebidi bi yama.'
And he said, No, father Abraham, but if some man would go to them from the dead they will repent.
31 Abalaŋama den goa ki yedi o: 'Bi yaa yie kaa baa cengi Musa leni bi sawalipuaba, ba o nilo yaa fii bi bi tinkpiba siiga ki gedi bi kani, bi kan cengi o.”'
And he said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if some man would rise from the dead.
