Luke 16
1 Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut, “Oasr sie mwet na kasrup, su filiya sie mwet tutafpo in liyaung ma lal nukewa. Na fwackyang nu sin mwet kasrup sac lah mwet tutafpo se lal ah supoklotina ma lal uh.
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 Ouinge el pangnolma ac fahk nu sel, ‘Mea nga lohng keim inge? Ase nu sik sie pwepu in akkalemye orekmakinyen ma luk uh sum, mweyen kom ac tia sifil karingin ma luk uh.’
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 Ac mwet tutafpo sac sifacna nunku in el, ‘Mea nga ac oru, ke leum luk el akola in sisyula liki orekma luk uh? Nga munas in wi puk laf, ac nga mwekin in ngusr.
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 Kwal, nga etu lah mea nga ac oru, tuh mwet uh in suliyu nu in lohm selos tukun sisila nga liki orekma luk.’
I know what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
5 Ouinge el solama kais sie mwet ma oasr soemoul la nu sin leum sac. El siyuk sin mwet se meet ah, ‘Lupa su soemoul lom nu sin leum luk?’
And he called each one of his lord's debtors; and he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 Ac el topuk, ‘Barrel siofok ke oil in olive.’ Na mwet tutafpo sac fahk nu sel, ‘Pa inge pwepu in misa lom uh. Muta insacn, simusla ma lumngaul.’
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 Na el sifil siyuk sin sie pac, ‘Ac kom, lupa su soemoul lom?’ Ac mwet sac topuk, ‘Sie tausin bushel in wheat.’ Na mwet tutafpo sac fahk ouinge, ‘Pa inge pwepu in misa lom uh. Simusla ma oalfoko.’
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 Ouinge, leum lun mwet tutafpo kutasrik sac kaksakunul ke inkanek usrnguk ma el oru, mweyen mwet facl se inge arulana yohk usrnguk lalos ke ma elos oru, liki mwet lun kalem uh.” (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 Ac Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “Ke ma inge nga fahk nu suwos: orekmakin mwe kasrup lun faclu tuh kowos in konauk mwet kawuk lowos, na ke pacl se lisr, ac fah suliyuk kowos nu in lohm kawil. (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 Kutena mwet su oaru in ma srik, ac fah oaru pac ke ma yohk; ac kutena mwet su sesuwos in ma srik ac fah sesuwos pac ke ma yohk.
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 Kowos fin soaru in karingin mwe kasrup lun faclu, ac ku in lulalfongiyuk kowos fuka in karingin mwe kasrup pwaye uh?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the reality?
12 Ac kowos fin soaru in karingin ma lun siena mwet, su ac ku in sot ma lowos?
And if ye have not been found faithful in that which is not yours, who will give to you that which is yours?
13 “Wangin mwet kulansap ku in kulansapu leum luo. El ac srunga sie, ac lungse el ngia; el ac pwaye nu sin sie, ac kwase el ngia. Kowos koflana kulansupu God ac mani.”
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 Ke mwet Pharisee elos lohng ma inge elos isrun Jesus, mweyen elos lungse mani.
And the Pharisees, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.
15 Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Kowos sifacna oru lumowos in suwohs ye mutun mwet uh, tusruk God El etu insiowos. Tuh ma su mwet uh pangon yohk sripa selos, ma inge pilasr ye mutun God.
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 “Ma Sap lal Moses ac ma simusla lun mwet palu uh orekmakinyuk na nwe ke pacl lal John Baptais ah. In pacl sac me, Pweng Wo ke Tokosrai lun God uh fwackyak, ac mwet uh aikusiyak in utyak nu loac.
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 Tusruktu, fisrasr tuh kusrao ac faclu in wanginla, liki sie akul srisrik ke sie leta ke Ma Sap uh in wanginla.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one letter to pass from the law.
18 “Kutena mukul su sisla mutan kial ac payuk nu sin sie pacna mutan, el orek kosro; ac sie mukul su payuk nu sin mutan sisila se, el oayapa orek kosro.
Whoever putteth away his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and whoever taketh her that is put away, committeth adultery.
19 “Oasr sie mwet kasrup su nukum nuknuk na yohk molo, ac el moul in mut len nukewa.
And there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in fine linen and scarlet, and passed every day in splendid luxury.
20 Na oasr pac sie mwet sukasrup pangpang Lazarus, su manol nuklana ke ruf, ac kwacna utukla el in muta ke mutunoa in lohm sin mwet kasrup sac,
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 mweyen el finsrak na elan ku in kang kutkut in mongo ma ac putatla liki tepu lun mwet kasrup sac. Kosro ngalngul uh ac tuku pac lohi ruf kacl uh.
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 Mwet sukasrup sac misa, ac lipufan uh usalla elan tuh muta siskal Abraham ke kufwa inkusrao uh. Mwet kasrup sac misa ac pukpuki el,
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 ac ke el muta in Hades, yen ma el pulakin keok upa nu sel, el ngetak ac liyal Abraham yen loessula, ac Lazarus el muta siskal. (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 Na el pangyak ac fahk, ‘Papa Abraham! Pakomutuk, ac supwalma Lazarus elan isongya kufinpaol in kof an ac kahlye mutun louk in akoyohuyauk, tuh nga muta in keok lulap in e se inge!’
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 Ac Abraham el fahk, ‘Ma nutik, esam lah pacl kom moul muta fin faclu ma nukewa wo ac fisrasr nu sum, a funu Lazarus el muta in ongoiya ac moul upa. Inge el muta insewowo inse, a kom muta in keok.
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 Sayen ma inge, oasr luf na lulap se srikutelik, pwanang kutena mwet ma ac ke fahsrot ingewot nu yurum ac tia ku in orala, ac wangin pac mwet ac ku in tuku yurum me nu yorosr.’
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 Na mwet kasrup sac fahk, ‘Fin ouingan nga kwafe sum, Papa Abraham, supwalla Lazarus nu in lohm sin papa tumuk,
He said to him: I pray thee, therefore, my father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house;
28 yen tamulel limekosr luk oasr we. Lela elan som ac sensenkunulos, tuh elos in mau tia tuku nu yen waiok se inge.’
for I have five brothers; that he may go and protest to them; lest they also come to this place of torment.
29 Abraham el fahk, ‘Kas lal Moses ac lun mwet palu uh oasr yorolos. Elos in porongo kas lalos an.’
Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 Mwet kasrup sac fahk, ‘Papa Abraham, srakna sufal ma kom fahk ingan! Tuh fin oasr mwet se moulyak liki misa ac som nu yorolos, na elos fah ku in auliyak ac forla liki ma koluk lalos.’
But he said to him: No, my father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Ac Abraham el fahk, ‘Elos fin tia lohngol Moses ac mwet palu uh, elos ac tia pac lulalfongi finne oasr mwet se moulyak liki misa.’”
Abraham said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not believe, though one should rise from the dead.
