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.
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 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.'
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 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.
“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 Nimanyili lyaibeta kubhomba ili panibeta kubhosibhwa mu mbombo jhangu jha uwakili bhanu bhanikaribisiajhi mu nyumba sya bhene
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
5 Hivyo wakili akabhakuta bhadeni bhwa bwana ghwa muene kwa khila mmonga akan'jobhela ghwa kuanza, 'ghwidaibhwa kiasi gani ni bwana bhangu?'
Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
6 Akajobha fipemu mia moja fya mafuta akan'jobhela 'tolayi hati jha jhobhi tamayi manyata yandikayi hamsini.'
He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
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.'
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 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)
“His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 Nani nikabhajobhela mwikibhekayi marafiki kwa mali gha udhalimu ili pajhibeta kukosekana bhabhakaribisiajhi mu makao gha milele. (aiōnios g166)
I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (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 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 Kama muenga mwajhelepi mwebhaaminifu mu mali gha udhalimu niani jha ibeta kubhaamini mu mali gha bhukweli?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 Na kama mwajhelepi bhaaminifu katika mali gha munu jhongi niani ibeta kubhaamini kwa gha muenga?
If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
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.”
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 aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
14 Basi Mafarisayo, bhabhasiganili hela bhaghap'eliki agha ghoha na bhan'dhihakili.
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at 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.
He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of 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. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17 Lakini rahisi kwa mbingu ni nchi fibhokayi kuliko hata herufi jhimonga jha sheria kukosekana.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
18 Kila jhaakandeka nd'ala munu ni kun'gega n'dala jhongi idhinilepi, ni muene jhaakan'gega jha alekibhu ni n'gosi munu izinilepi.
“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits 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.
“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 Ni maskini mmonga lihina lya muene Lazaro abhekibhu pageti lya muene, na ajhe ni filonda.
A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
21 Ni muene akajha inoghela kushibishwa kwa makombo ghaghabinili kuh'oma pameza pa jhola tajiri hata mabwa ghakahida kun'yabha filonda fya muene.
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 Ikajha maskini jhola afwili na atolibhu ni malaika mpaka pakifua kya Ibrahimu. Tajiri jhola ni muene afwili na asyelibhu.
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels 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)
In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at 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.
He cried 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 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.
“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
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.'
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 no one may cross over from there to us.’
27 Tajiri jhola akajobha, 'Nikus'oka Dadi Ibrahimu, kwamba undaghisiajhi kunyumba kwa dadijhangu
“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would 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 testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
29 Lakini Ibrahimu akajobha, 'Bhajheni Musa ni manabii. Bhalekayi bhabhapelekesiajhi bhene.
“But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30 Tajiri jhola akajobha, 'lepi, Dadi Ibrahimu, lakini kama abhalotili munu jha ih'omela kwa bhafu bhibeta kutubu.'
“He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes 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.
“He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
