Lukha 16
1 U Yisu avavulile khange avakhongi vamwene vamwene, “Pale nu munu umo unkhavi nu vavaha avulilwe ukhuta umbaha uyu inangaviya ikyuma kya mwene.
Jesus also said to the disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and it was reported to him that this manager was wasting his possessions.
2 Pu unkhavi akhamwilanga akhambula, “Khinukhi ikhi nipulikha khulyuve? Humya imbalilo incha mbaha vakho, ulwakhuva sawiwesya ukhuva mbaha lino.'
So the rich man called him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'
3 Umbaha ula akhanchova munumbula mumwene, Nivombe khikhi, uvunonu wa ntwa vango ikhung'encha mu mbombo yango iya vuvaha? Nelivuvule amakha aga khulima nu khudova dova nevona soni.
The manager said to himself, 'What should I do, since my master is taking away my management job? I do not have strength to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
4 Nelulumanyile eliyakhiva nie vomba upuyakhiva vikhung'e ncha mu mbombo yango iya vuloleli uwa vanu pu avene va ng'egelenche mu mbunchenge wa vene.
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from my management job, people will welcome me into their houses.'
5 Pu umbaha va vuloleli akhavilanga avanyamikolegwia ntwa va mwene, akhambula uva khwancha, 'vudayiwa ilingi nu ntwa vango?'
Then the manager called for each one of his master's debtors, and he asked the first one, 'How much do you owe to my master?'
6 Akhanchova ifipimilo khinchigo ifya mono, akhambula 'tola ilikhuratasi uvige “50” hamsini.”
He said, 'A hundred baths of olive oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write fifty.'
7 hange ambula uyunge nuve ulinilikhole ilingi?' akhanchova akhata nilinilikhole ilya fipimo “100” ifya vutineuwa ngano.' Akhambula akhatatola ikyandikhilo wandikhe “80”.'
Then the manager 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 Pu untwa akhagwiya umbaha umbivi vu avombile khu vala avanyamakhole. Ulwakhuva avana va khilunga ikhi valinu luhala ukhulutilila nu khuvomba khuluhala ulwa pakyanya pu avanu avaluvafu ulwa vene valipakyanya pa vanya lumuli. (aiōn g165)
The master then commended the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own people than are the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Nune nikhuvavula mwivombelage ukhuva na vayinyikhu kyuma ikya vuviviukhuta puyakhiva sawipata vavahegelenche khu vutavuo uwa sikhu nchoni. (aiōnios g166)
I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 Uviale vaviyilweli khuvudebe iva vayilweli khuvu vaha. na aliye dhalimu katika lililo dogo huwa dhalimu katika lililo kubwa pia.
He who is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and he who is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.
11 Ingave umwe samkhali vayilweli khu kyuma ikya vuvivi pu veni iva vayelweli khu kyuma ikya lweli?
If you have not been faithful in using unrighteous wealth, who will trust you with true wealth?
12 Pu ingave mukhale vasita khuva vayilweli pa khu vombela ikyuma kya munu uyunge veni uviyakhiva ikhuvapa ikhiyakhiva ikhuvapa ikhikhivile khinyo yumwe?
If you have not been faithful in using other people's property, who will give you money of your own?
13 Asikhuli umbomba mbombo uviiwesya ukhuvavombela avatwa vavili, ulwakhuva ayigugane yumo nu khusula uyunge nu khwiyibata nuyu nu khubeda uyu. Samukhawesye ukhumombela Unguluve ne kyuma.”
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
14 Pu Avafalisayo vuvavo valikhunogwa ihela, pu vagapulikhe aga goni pu vakhabeda.
Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him.
15 Pu akhavavula, “Umwe ukhuta mukhiginiya khuvulongolo khuvanu, pu Unguluve akhanchimanya inumbula nchetu. Ulwakhuva ilimikhiwe khu munu liva livivi khuvulongolo khwa Nguluve.
He said to them, “You justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. That which is exalted among men is detestable in the sight of God.
16 Indagilo ncha vanyamalago nchale punchile vu uYohani vuinchile. Ukhuhuma usikhi ugwa imola inonu incha vutwa wa Nguluve ukwinchofancha, nu munu uvavenchaga igela ukhwigila khu makha.
The law and the prophets were in effect until John came. From that time on, the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone tries to force their way into it.
17 Ukhuva ikhilunga khipepe fihege ukhuhuma endagilo yimo yihege.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the law to become invalid.
18 Uvi ikhundekha udala nu khugula uyunge nu khutola vatamaniyege iva aligwipe nukhuva indigu, nu yunge uvi ikhutola ula uvialekhilwe nu gosi, ivaindigu.
Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.
19 Khwale nu munu umo utayili afwalile iyenda igya mavuva igi ngaladikha igya zambarau ne kitani ikhi nonu, pu alikhuhovokha imisikhi gyoni nu vukhavi wa mwene uvuvaha.
Now there was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and was enjoying every day his great wealth.
20 Nu ganchu umo ilitawa lya mwene ele vi Lazaro avikhiwe pa ndyango ugwa tayili, pu ale ni fikhoho.
A certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,
21 Pu umwene anogwagwa ukhulya amalagalila agagwile pasi aga fyakhulya pa mesa iya tayili uchili khu myianga ifikho ho ifya uganchu.
and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Pu ula uganchu akhefwa nu khutoliwa nu unsuhwa nu khumbikha khukhifwa ikya Ibrahimu pu khifwa ikya Irahimu. Pu utayili vope akhafwa nu khusyila.
It came about that the beggar died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried,
23 Na khuvufwe vuigatanchiwa nu vugatale, akhalola amiho khu kyanya akhambona uIrahamu khuvutale nu Lazaro pa khifuva ikya Irahimu. (Hadēs g86)
and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus at his side. (Hadēs g86)
24 Akhalila akhanchova, 'Dada rahamu, umbonele ikhisa, usuhe uLazaro anyofye ikhimelelencha ikya fikhonche mumagasi, ahovosye ululimi lwango; ulwakhuva ni gatanchiwa nu mwoto ugu.
So he cried 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 Pu Brahamu akhanchova, 'Mwanavango usage imbukhulilo wakho uvombile imbombo ilingi ivinonu, nu Lazaro nave apilile amavivi. Lino alyapa ihekhela, nuve pu vugatanchiwa.
But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things. But now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.
26 Khu goni ago khuvikhiwe iliguli ilivaha nu vutale pa gati, ukhuta avinogwa ukhuhuma nu khulovokha, ukhwivicha khulyumwe valemwage na va khulyumwe vope valemwage ukhwincha ukhwa.'
Besides all this, a great chasm has been put in place, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot, and no one can cross over from there to us.'
27 Utayili akhanchova, 'Nukhudova Dada Brahamu, nikhukhudova usuhe khukha khwa dada vango
The rich man said, 'I beg you, Father Abraham, that you would send him to my father's house—
28 khu khaya khuvale avalukholo lwango vahano ukhuta avavunge khuluvipi ukhuta vope yuvikhwincha khunu, khulivupala fincho, valekhe ukhwincha. '
for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that it may not be that they come into this place of torment.'
29 Pu u Brahamu akhanchova, 'Khuvale avanyamalago nu Mose vilekhelwe vavapulehinchage avo.
But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them listen to them.'
30 Pu untayili akhanchova, 'asikhuli, Dada uBrahamu, lino ingave umunu ihuma khuvunchukha pu ya vipela.'
The rich man replied, 'No, Father Abraham, but if someone would go to them from the dead, they will repent.'
31 Pu Brahamu akhavavula, 'vangave savikhuvapulikha avo uMose na vanyamalago savakhidikhe nela pwu hume umunu khuvunchukha savakhawesye ukhupulikha.
But Abraham said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.'”
