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.
He also said to his disciples, "There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
2 Kulwejo tagiri namubhilikila, namubhwila ati, “Nimisangoki jinu enungwa ingulu yao? Nuumbalile obhukumi bhwe emilimu jao, kulwokubha utachasubha kwimelegululila emilimu lindi.”
He called him, and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'
3 Omukosi we emilimu neyaikila mumwoyo gwaye, 'lata bhugenyi wani kansoshako kumilimu jokwimelegulila emilimu, nikole kutiki? Nitali namanaga gokulima, nokusabhilisha eniswala.
"The manager said within himself, 'What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I do not have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 Mbe enimenya gunu nilakola koleleki labha nikasosibhwako kumilimu abhanu bhankumililega mumisi jebhwe.'
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, 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?
Calling each one of his lord's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe to my lord?'
6 Nasubhya ati, 'ndengo egana eja amafuta' namubhwila ati, 'nugege olwandiko lwao wiyanje bhwangu wandike makumi gatanu.'
He said, 'A hundred batos of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and 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, 'How much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred cors of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'
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)
"His lord commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness, for the people of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the people of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Mbe enibhabhwila mwikolele abhasani okusoka mubhinu bhyo obhunyamuke koleleki ebhinu bhikawao bhabhakumilile mubhwikalo bhunu bhutakuwao. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it is gone they may welcome you into the everlasting dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 Owakisi mwibhika kuchinu chitoto muno kabhaga wekisi okubhika nolwo chinu chinene. Na unu kasakula echitoto nolwo echinene ona kasakula.
He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
11 Labha emwe mutabheye bhakisi kubhinu bhyo obhunyamuke niga unu alibhayana okubhika ebhinu bhye echimali?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 Ka labha mutabheye bhakisi kubhinu bhyo undi niga unu alibhayana imali yemwe abhene?
If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is 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 can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and wealth."
14 Mbe Abhafarisayo bhanu bhaliga nibhenda jimpilya, nibhongwa ejo jona na nibhamujimya.
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at 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.
He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of people, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among people is an 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 Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17 Jolobhele olwire na insi okuwao nawe inyuguta imwi eye echilagilo okubhulao.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Law to become void.
18 Bhuli munu unu kasigana no mugasi waye natwala oundi kalomela, naunu katwala omugasi unu asigilwe no mulume waye kalomela.
Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a 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.
"Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 Alio no omunu umwi lisinanlyaye Lazaro, alimutaka ne ebhilondo, neyanjaga kumulyango gwo omunibhi oyo.
A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was placed 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 with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Mbe ejile omutaka afwa nagegwa na bhamalaika nibhamukingya muchifubha cha Ibraimu. Omunibhi uliya ona nafwa nasikwa.
It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Munyombe ao aliga alimunyako, nalalamila nalola Ibraimu alikula na Lazaro alimuchifubha chaye. (Hadēs g86)
In hell, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at 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.
He called out and 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. For I am in anguish 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, 'Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in like manner, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
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.'
Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that none may cross over from there to us.'
27 Omunibhi oyo naika ati, 'Enikusabhwa lata Ibraimu, utume Lazaro ika owasu kulata.
"He said, 'I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house;
28 Kulwokubha nina bhamula bhasu bhatanu koleleki abhakishe, enubhaya abhene ona bhasiga kukinga munyako anu nili.'
for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won't also come into this place of torment.'
29 Nawe Ibraimu naika ati, 'bhali na Musa na abhalagi. Bhasigela bhabhategeleshe abho.
"But Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the Prophets. Let them listen to them.'
30 Omunibhi naika ati, 'Pai, Lata Ibraimu, omunu akasoka mubhafuye nabhakingako abhata ebhibhi.'
"He said, 'No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
31 Nawe Ibraimu namubhwila ati, 'bhakabhula okungwa Musa na abhalagi bhatakutula okungwa nolwo omunu akasoka mubhafuye.'”
"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.'"
