Uluka 16
1 Yeso ma gu inanu utarsa umeme, “Awuzi ure unu mazi ini kirfi mazi indesa matarsa me ini kirfi me, a ē agun me unutarsa ini kirfi iweme ma huza ini Sarki nice.
Jesus told his disciples this story. “There was once a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting what belonged to his master.
2 Unu kirfi me ma titi me magun me, nyanini in kuna ani ce nuwe me? Aye mu ini benani ikirfi me, barki uda kuri u tarsum in ini ba.
So the rich man called in his manager, and asked him, ‘What's this I hear about you? Bring in your accounts, because you won't be continuing as manager.’
3 Unu tarsa ini kirfi me magu iriba imeme, “Indi wu aneni, una kura madi kabi unu tarsa ina kura ame a tari tum? Mebe, in zomu in nikara na avara in kunna mu'i'in iki imum.
The manager said to himself, ‘Now what will I do since my master is going to fire me from my job? I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg.
4 In rusa imum me sa indi wu ingi a karam u tarsa ina kura me, Anu wa kabum ati kura tuweme.
Oh, I know what I'm going to do so that when I'm sacked as manager people will make me welcome in their homes.’
5 Unu tarsa ina kura me ma titi an desa una kura ma tarsa me ureme, magun unu nutuba ihuno ini una kura matarsa we?
So he invited all those who were in debt to his master to come and see him. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 Magun me, magarwa ma mani manu akuru ukirau, Magun me, 'Kaba utagarda uweme, cukuno debe, u yetteke akuri ucibi!
The man replied, ‘A hundred units of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Sit down quickly. Take your bill, and change it to fifty.’
7 Ma kuri magun in uye, 'Ihuno ini una kura matarsa we?' Magu, ma buhu manu akure u karau me ialkama, magun me kaba utagarda, u yetteke manu akure uwiti tari.
Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A hundred units of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill and change it to eighty.’
8 Una kura ma nonziko unu tarsa ina kura me barki upoko aje ameme. A hana une ugeme wa ribeze anyimo anu nee wa aka ahana masaa. (aiōn g165)
The rich man commended his dishonest manager for his cunning idea. The children of this world are more cunning towards one another than are the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 In booshi ingi ya wuza ni runi gusi imumu un barki uzatu kadure, ingi ya mara, wadi kabi shi ati kura tishime ana imumu muriba. (aiōnios g166)
I tell you, use the wealth of this world to make friends for yourselves so that when it's gone, you'll be welcomed into an eternal home. (aiōnios g166)
10 Desa ma wuga kadure imum icin, una kadure mani imum idangi, desa mazome inkadure ba a hira imum icin unu zatu kadure kani udang.
If you can be trusted with very little you can also be trusted with much; if you are dishonest with very little you will also be dishonest with much.
11 In daki ya wuza kadure ahira imum unu zatu kadure, aveni madi hem inshi ini mum ika dure?
So if you can't be trusted when it comes to worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?
12 Ingi daya kuri ya wuza uzatu kadure ini kirfi i uyeba, aveni madi nyashi i kirfi sa izi ishi?
And if you can't be trusted with what belongs to someone else, who will trust you with what is yours?
13 Ba desa mada ke ma tarsi Asere kare, nani ma game a inde ma hem a inde, nani ma hem ina inde magame a inde ida ke i tarsi Asere i kuri i tarsi imumu une ba.
No servant can obey two masters. Either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Money.”
14 Mafarisawa anu su ikirfi sa wa kunna ani me vat watungono tizuza tume.
The Pharisees, who loved money, heard what Jesus said and laughed at him.
15 Ba ma gun we, “Shewani anu nyeze ace anyimo anu, Asere a rusa iriba ishime.
But Jesus told them, “You appear pious to people, but God knows what you're thinking. What people value highly is detested by God.
16 Ubata utize nan anu kurzizo utize wa rani Yohana madiku ē. Datti uganiya ugino me azinu boo tize ta Asere, kodavi mazini uyakara u sosi niceni anyimo me.
What was written in the law and the prophets lasted until John. From then on the good news of the kingdom of God is being spread, and everyone is forcing their way in.
17 Vat in anime, iteki unu seke Aseseri nan adezi amari, ini gona horibi inde be tize tum bi visa.
However, it's easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the smallest point of the Law to disappear.
18 Vat desa ma gido unē umeme ma zika uye ma zinu wuza katuma kaburi, desa ma zika unē me sa agido me vat mazinu wuza katuma kaburi.
Any man who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery, and a man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
19 Awuzi uye unu imumu itari, ma sositi runga ti huma ti kirfi madi gala imum ime kondi uya uwui.
Once there was a man who was rich. He wore purple clothes and fine linen, and enjoyed a luxurious life.
20 A inki uye sa mamu uzo ana tukum ameme, unani 30 Liazaru desa vat nipun numeme tinuru tini.
A beggar named Lazarus used to sit at his gate, covered in sores,
21 Madi isi iriba agi matingi mu gitu mu imumare sa idi rizizi adizi barki ma ti iwuxi cangi iki limbi magembu mameme.
longing to eat the leftovers from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Arā anyimo anime unu dira unikara ma wi, ibe ika dura ka Asere wa ē wa ziki me wa hamme a hira Ibrahim, Unu imum itarari ma wi, a vati me.
Then the beggar died, and angels carried him away to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
23 Ma rā nyimo icau unu zito, ma venki nice ma iri Ibrahim pit, nan Liazaru a bigiri bumeme. (Hadēs g86)
In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham in the far distance, with Lazarus beside him. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ma titi magu, “Acoo Ibrahim, kuna ugogoni um, u tumi Liazaru ma soki kubo kucin kumeme a mei ma tenzikem ani lem, barki nirere nini izinu same anyimo Urā.
‘Father Abraham,’ he called out, ‘Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I'm burning in agony.’
25 Ibrahim magu, 'Vana, ringi inti cukum tuwe unē uwe, ukuri ukabi adadu a huma, me Liazaru nirere nini masi. A' aname urunta uni azinu nyiza ume abame, hu ni rere nini uzi na same.
But Abraham replied, ‘My son, remember that you enjoyed the good things of life, while Lazarus had a very poor life. Now he is here being comforted, while you suffer in torment.
26 Ban anime, uwaa u concon urani, barki an desa wa nyara wa kafa uaye ahira ashi kati wa rusi, kati kodavi makafa uaye uwatu uru.
Apart from that, there's a great gulf that stretches between us and you. Nobody who wants to cross from here to you can do so, and nobody can cross from there over to us.’
27 Una imumu itari magu, 'In nyara, acoo Ibrahim, tuma me ma hā akura acoo am'.
The rich man said, ‘Then Father, I beg you, please send him to my father's house.
28 Barki in zin ina nuhenu aruma ucibi, ma ha maka wuza tize kati wa ē ahira ani rere nigeme.
For I have five brothers and he can warn them so that they don't end up here in this place of torment.’
29 Ibrahim magun, 'Wa zin Musa nan anu u kurzizo tize ta Asere, na wa kunna we.
But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. They should listen to them.’
30 Una imumu itari magu, 'Mmh' acoo Ibrahim, ungi uye ma hana ingi uye ma hana a nyimo adesa wa wono wadi kunna we, wa kabi tizeme.
‘No, father Abraham,’ said the man. ‘But they would repent if someone went to them from the dead!’
31 Ibrahim ma gun me, 'Ingi daki wa kunna Musa nan anu ukurzizo tize ta Asere ba, koda uye ma hira anyimo anu won cangi wadida kunna we ba.
Abraham said to him, ‘If they won't listen to Moses and the prophets, they won't be convinced even if someone returns from the dead.’”
