Luka 16
1 Yesu nabhabhwila lindi abheigisibhwa bhaye ati, “Aliga alio omunu umwi mutagiri ali nomunu emelegululiye emilimu jaye, nibhamubhwila ati omukosi wao unu kalasa-lasa imali yao.
And He also spoke to His disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was slandered to him as wasting his goods.
2 Kulwejo tagiri namubhilikila, namubhwila ati, “Nimisangoki jinu enungwa ingulu yao? Nuumbalile obhukumi bhwe emilimu jao, kulwokubha utachasubha kwimelegululila emilimu lindi.”
And having called him, he said to him, What is this which I hear concerning thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou art not able to be steward any longer.
3 Omukosi we emilimu neyaikila mumwoyo gwaye, 'lata bhugenyi wani kansoshako kumilimu jokwimelegulila emilimu, nikole kutiki? Nitali namanaga gokulima, nokusabhilisha eniswala.
And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, because my lord takes away my stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
4 Mbe enimenya gunu nilakola koleleki labha nikasosibhwako kumilimu abhanu bhankumililega mumisi jebhwe.'
I know what I shall do, in order that when I am deposed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 Kulwejo omukosi wemilimu nabhilikila bhanu bhaliga nibhatongwa na lata bhugenyi waye. Nabhwila owokwamba ati, 'omukulu wani kakutonga bhilinga?
And calling each one of the debtors of his lord, he said to the first, How much do you owe my lord?
6 Nasubhya ati, 'ndengo egana eja amafuta' namubhwila ati, 'nugege olwandiko lwao wiyanje bhwangu wandike makumi gatanu.'
And he said; A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your accounts, and sitting down quickly write fifty.
7 Neya nabhwila oundi, 'kawe outongwa elinga?' naika ati, 'bhilengo egana ebhya jishano ja ingano.' Namubhwila ati, 'gega olwandiko lwao wandike makumi munana.'
Then he said to another one, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He says to him, Take your account, and write fourscore.
8 Omumula uliya omunibhi namukuya omukosi wobhuyaga lwakutyo akolele kwo obhwenge. Kulwokubha abhana bhe echalo bhana obhwenge bhwafu na abhakola emilimu kwo bhwenge na abhanu bhanu bhali kulubhala lwebhwe kukila kutyo bhali abhana bho obhwelu. (aiōn g165)
And the lord praised the steward of unrighteousness because he acted shrewdly: because the sons of this age are wiser in their generation than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 Mbe enibhabhwila mwikolele abhasani okusoka mubhinu bhyo obhunyamuke koleleki ebhinu bhikawao bhabhakumilile mubhwikalo bhunu bhutakuwao. (aiōnios g166)
And I say unto you, Make unto yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness, in order that, when it may fail, they may receive you into eternal tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
10 Owakisi mwibhika kuchinu chitoto muno kabhaga wekisi okubhika nolwo chinu chinene. Na unu kasakula echitoto nolwo echinene ona kasakula.
He that is faithful in the least is also faithful in much: and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous in much.
11 Labha emwe mutabheye bhakisi kubhinu bhyo obhunyamuke niga unu alibhayana okubhika ebhinu bhye echimali?
If therefore you were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the true?
12 Ka labha mutabheye bhakisi kubhinu bhyo undi niga unu alibhayana imali yemwe abhene?
If you were not faithful in the interest of another, who will give you your own?
13 Atalio omunu unu katula okukolela bhese Bhugenyi bhabhili, kulwokubha kafururukwa no oumwi na nenda oundi, lugendo kagwatana na unu nokugaya oundi. Mutakutula okukolela Nyamuanga ne ebhinu.
No servant is able to serve two masters: for he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and mammon.
14 Mbe Abhafarisayo bhanu bhaliga nibhenda jimpilya, nibhongwa ejo jona na nibhamujimya.
And the Pharisees, being avaricious, were hearing all these things, and murmuring against Him.
15 Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Emwe nemwe omwigegela obhulengelesi imbele ya abhanu, nawe Nyamuanga kamenya emyoyo jemwe. Kulwokubha linu limenyekene kubhanu elibhaga efururusho ku Nyamuanga.
And He said to them, Ye are those who justify yourselves before the people; but God knows your hearts: because that which is exalted among the people is abomination in the sight of God.
16 Mbe ebhilagilo na abhalagi bhyaliga bhilio okukingila Yoana naja. Okwambila akatungu ako, Omusango ogwo bhwana ogwo obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga ogulasibhwa, na bhuli munu kalegeja okwiingisha kwa amanaga.
The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presses into it.
17 Jolobhele olwire na insi okuwao nawe inyuguta imwi eye echilagilo okubhulao.
And it is easier that heaven and earth pass away, than one tittle fall from the law.
18 Bhuli munu unu kasigana no mugasi waye natwala oundi kalomela, naunu katwala omugasi unu asigilwe no mulume waye kalomela.
Every one sending away his wife, and marrying another, commits adultery; and the one marrying her who has been sent away by her husband commits adultery.
19 Mbe aliga alio omunu umwi alimunibhi nafwalaga jingubho ja irangi ya amajambarau ejobhugusi bhunene, bhuli siku nakondelesibhwa no obhwafu bhwo ubhutagiri bhwaye.
There was a certain rich man, and he was habitually clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day.
20 Alio no omunu umwi lisinanlyaye Lazaro, alimutaka ne ebhilondo, neyanjaga kumulyango gwo omunibhi oyo.
But a certain beggar, Lazarus by name, was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 Lazaro esigomberaga okwiguta ganu galagalaga okusoka kumeja yo omunibhi jimbwa nijija okumulamba ebhilonda bhaye.
and desiring to be fed by the crumbs falling from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming continued to lick his sores.
22 Mbe ejile omutaka afwa nagegwa na bhamalaika nibhamukingya muchifubha cha Ibraimu. Omunibhi uliya ona nafwa nasikwa.
And it came to pass that the beggar died, and himself was carried by the angels into the bosom of Abraham: and the rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Munyombe ao aliga alimunyako, nalalamila nalola Ibraimu alikula na Lazaro alimuchifubha chaye. (Hadēs g86)
And in Hades lifted up his eyes, being in torment, sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Nalola naika ati, 'Lata Ibraimu, nuumfwile chigongo utume Lazaro enike insonde yechala chaye mumanji anyilishe olulimi lwwni; kulwokubha eninyasibhwa mumulilo gunu.
And he calling said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because I am tormented in this flame.
25 Nawe Ibraimu naika ati, 'Mwana wani ichuka lwa kutyo mubhulame bhwao walamiye agekisi, ka Lazaro nabhona amabhibhi. Nawe olyanu alyanu kafung'amibhwa kawe ounyasibhwa.
But Abraham said, Child, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus likewise evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
26 Ingulu ya jona, liteweo elyobho enene na elela agati yeswe, koleleki bhanu abhenda okusoka enu okuja kwimwe bhasige okutula, nolwo abhanu bhe ewemwe bhatajokwambuka okuja kwiswe.'
And in addition to all these things, there is a great gulf fixed between us and you, in order that those wishing to go hence to you may not be able, neither can they come thence to us.
27 Omunibhi oyo naika ati, 'Enikusabhwa lata Ibraimu, utume Lazaro ika owasu kulata.
And he said, Moreover I intreat you, father, that you may send him to the house of my father:
28 Kulwokubha nina bhamula bhasu bhatanu koleleki abhakishe, enubhaya abhene ona bhasiga kukinga munyako anu nili.'
for I have five brothers; in order that he may testify to them, that they may not also come to this place of the torment.
29 Nawe Ibraimu naika ati, 'bhali na Musa na abhalagi. Bhasigela bhabhategeleshe abho.
But Abraham says, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 Omunibhi naika ati, 'Pai, Lata Ibraimu, omunu akasoka mubhafuye nabhakingako abhata ebhibhi.'
But he said, No, father Abraham: but if one may go to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Nawe Ibraimu namubhwila ati, 'bhakabhula okungwa Musa na abhalagi bhatakutula okungwa nolwo omunu akasoka mubhafuye.'”
But he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded if one may rise from the dead.
