Luka 16
1 Yesu akabhajobhela bhanafunzi bha muene, “Pajhele ni munu mmonga tajiri ajhe ni meneja, na ataarifibhu jha kujha meneja ojho itapanya mali sya muene.
And he spoke a parable to his disciples. There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and accusations were brought to him of him, that he squandered his property.
2 Hivyo tajiri akan'kuta, akan'jobhela, “kiki ekhe kya nikakip'eleka juu jha bhebhe? Bhosiajhi hesabu jha umeneja bhwa jhobhi, kwandabha wibhwesya lepi kuja meneja kabhele.'
And his lord called him, and said to him: What is this that I hear of thee? Render to me an account of thy stewardship; for thou canst no longer be my steward.
3 Meneja jhola akajobha mu muoyo bhwa muene, nikhetayi kiki, maana bwana ghwa nene akanibhosya mu kazi jhangu jha umeneja? nijhelepi ni nghofu sya kulema, ni kus'oka nibhona soni.
And the steward said with himself: What shall I do, since my lord is about to take from me the stewardship? To dig, I am unable; and to become a beggar, I am ashamed.
4 Nimanyili lyaibeta kubhomba ili panibeta kubhosibhwa mu mbombo jhangu jha uwakili bhanu bhanikaribisiajhi mu nyumba sya bhene
I know what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
5 Hivyo wakili akabhakuta bhadeni bhwa bwana ghwa muene kwa khila mmonga akan'jobhela ghwa kuanza, 'ghwidaibhwa kiasi gani ni bwana bhangu?'
And he called each one of his lord's debtors; and he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 Akajobha fipemu mia moja fya mafuta akan'jobhela 'tolayi hati jha jhobhi tamayi manyata yandikayi hamsini.'
And he said to him, One hundred measures of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write Fifty measures.
7 Kisha akan'jobhela jhongi ni bhebhe widaibhwa kiasi gani?' akajobha 'fipemu mia moja fya sembe ghwa ngano.' Akan'jobhela 'letayi hati jha bhebhe jhandikayi themanini.'
And he said to another: And how much owest thou to my lord? And he said to him, One hundred cors of wheat. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down, and write Eighty cors.
8 bwana jhola akan'sifu meneja dhalimu kwa vile kyaabhombili kwa wereu. Kwa kujha bhanu bha ulimwengu obho bherevu bhingi na bhishughulika kwa ujanja ni bhanu bha lubhafu lwa bhene kuliko kya bhajhele bhana bha nuru. (aiōn g165)
And our Lord praised the unrighteous steward, for having acted sagaciously: for the children of this world are more sagacious than the children of light, in this their generation. (aiōn g165)
9 Nani nikabhajobhela mwikibhekayi marafiki kwa mali gha udhalimu ili pajhibeta kukosekana bhabhakaribisiajhi mu makao gha milele. (aiōnios g166)
And I also say to you: Make to yourselves friends, with this unrighteous mammon; so that when it is finished, they may receive you to their everlasting tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
10 Jhaajhe mwaminifu kwa e'le lidebe nesu ijha mwaminifu mu libhaha kabhele. na jhaajhe dhalimu kwa ele lidebe ijha dhahalimu kwa lijhele libhaha kabhele.
He that is faithful in the little, is also faithful in the much; and he that is unjust in the little, is also unjust in the much.
11 Kama muenga mwajhelepi mwebhaaminifu mu mali gha udhalimu niani jha ibeta kubhaamini mu mali gha bhukweli?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the reality?
12 Na kama mwajhelepi bhaaminifu katika mali gha munu jhongi niani ibeta kubhaamini kwa gha muenga?
And if ye have not been found faithful in that which is not yours, who will give to you that which is yours?
13 Ajhelepi mtumishi jha ibhwesya kutumikila mabwana bhabhele, kwandabha ibeta kun'dadila mmonga ni kun'gana jhongi, ama ibeta kushikamana ni ojho nikumdharau ojho. Mwibhwesya lepi kun'tumikila K'yara ni mali.”
There is no servant, who can serve two lords. For, either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will honor the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Basi Mafarisayo, bhabhasiganili hela bhaghap'eliki agha ghoha na bhan'dhihakili.
And the Pharisees, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.
15 Na akabhajobhela, “Muenga ndo mwamikidayi haki mbele jha bhanadamu, lakini Mungu ajhimanyili mioyo ghya muenga. Kwa kujha lyalitukuiki kwa mwanadamu lijha chukizo kwa K'yara.
And Jesus said to them: Ye are such as justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your heart: for that which is exalted among men, is abominable before God.
16 Sheria ni manabii fyajhele mpaka Yohana bho ahidili. Kuh'omela bhwakati obhu, habari jhinofu jha ufalme bhwa K'yara bhwitangesibhwa ni kila munu ijaribu kwijhingisya kwa nghofu.
The law and the prophets were until John: since then, the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and every one presseth it to enter in.
17 Lakini rahisi kwa mbingu ni nchi fibhokayi kuliko hata herufi jhimonga jha sheria kukosekana.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one letter to pass from the law.
18 Kila jhaakandeka nd'ala munu ni kun'gega n'dala jhongi idhinilepi, ni muene jhaakan'gega jha alekibhu ni n'gosi munu izinilepi.
Whoever putteth away his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and whoever taketh her that is put away, committeth adultery.
19 Pajhele ni munu mmonga tajiri jhaafwalili nghobho sya rangi sya zambarau ni kitani kinofu na akajha furahila kila ligono utajiri bhwa muene mbaha.
And there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in fine linen and scarlet, and passed every day in splendid luxury.
20 Ni maskini mmonga lihina lya muene Lazaro abhekibhu pageti lya muene, na ajhe ni filonda.
And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Lazarus; and he was laid at the gate of the rich man, smitten with ulcers.
21 Ni muene akajha inoghela kushibishwa kwa makombo ghaghabinili kuh'oma pameza pa jhola tajiri hata mabwa ghakahida kun'yabha filonda fya muene.
And he desired to fill his belly with the fragments that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs also came and licked his ulcers.
22 Ikajha maskini jhola afwili na atolibhu ni malaika mpaka pakifua kya Ibrahimu. Tajiri jhola ni muene afwili na asyelibhu.
And so it was, that the poor man died; and angels transported him to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Ni khola kuzimu paajhele mu malombosi akaghajhinula mihu gha muene akambona Ibrahimu kwa patali ni Lazaro pakifua kya muene. (Hadēs g86)
And being tormented in hell, he raised his eyes from afar off, and saw Abraham, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Akalela akajobha, 'Dadi Ibrahimu, unihurumilayi un'tumayi Lazaro ajhinayi ncha jha kikonji kya muene mumasi, auburudisiajhi lumilu lwa nene; kwandabha nitesibhwa mu muoto obho.
And he called with a loud voice, and said: Abraham, my father, have pity on me; and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and moisten my tongue; for, lo, I am tormented in this flame.
25 Lakini Ibrahimu akajobha, 'Mwanabhangu khombokayi katika maisha gha jhobhi ghwa ejhapokili mambo gha jhobhi manofu ni Lazaro mebhu akabhili manofu lepi. Ila henu ajhe apa ifarijibhwa ni bhebhe wilamasibhwa.
And Abraham said to him: My son, remember, that thou receivedst thy good things in thy lifetime, and Lazarus his evil things: and now, behold he is here at rest, and thou art tormented.
26 Ni zaidi jha aghu libhekibhu lilende libhaha na litali kati jha tete, ili bhala bhabhilonda kubhoka khoni kulota kwa jhomu bhasibhwesi wala bhanu bha muenga bhasilobhoki kuhida khoni.'
And with all these, there is a great barrier between us and you; so that they who would pass from here to you, cannot; neither can they pass from there to us
27 Tajiri jhola akajobha, 'Nikus'oka Dadi Ibrahimu, kwamba undaghisiajhi kunyumba kwa dadijhangu
He said to him: I pray thee, therefore, my father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house;
28 kwakujha nijhe nibhalongo bhangu bhahanu ili abhaonyanyi, kwa hofu kujha na bhene kabhele bhibeta kuhida mahali pa mal'ombosi.
for I have five brothers; that he may go and protest to them; lest they also come to this place of torment.
29 Lakini Ibrahimu akajobha, 'Bhajheni Musa ni manabii. Bhalekayi bhabhapelekesiajhi bhene.
Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 Tajiri jhola akajobha, 'lepi, Dadi Ibrahimu, lakini kama abhalotili munu jha ih'omela kwa bhafu bhibeta kutubu.'
But he said to him: No, my father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Lakini Ibrahimu akabhajobhela, 'bhakabelayi lubhap'eleka Musa ni manabii bhibeta lepi kushawishibhwa hata munu akafufukayi kwa bhafu.
Abraham said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not believe, though one should rise from the dead.
