Lioka 16
1 Tinovo’e ty hoe amo mpiama’eo: Teo ty mpañaleale nitalilieñe te nandritse ty vara’e ty mpamandro-panaña’e.
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 Aa le kinanji’e naho nanoa’e ty hoe: Akore ze o tsinanoko ty ama’o zao? Volilio o famandroña’oo, fa tsy ho mpamandroñe ka.
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 Le hoe ty fitsakorea’ i mpamandroñey: Inom-barè ty hanoeko kanao hafaha’ i talekoy amy famandroñakoy? Tsy lefeko ty miava, le manalats’ ahy ty mangatake.
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 Inao arè ty hanoeko, soa te, ie navìk’ ami’ty maha mpamandroñe ahy, le mbe ho rambese’ iereo añ’ anjomba ao.
I know what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
5 Aa le songa kinanji’e homb’ama’e ze nisongo amy talè’ey, le hoe ty asa’e amy valoha’ey: Fire ty songo’o amy talèko?
And he called each one of his lord's debtors; and he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 Le hoe re: Solike zato fañaranañe. Le hoe re ama’e: Masika! rambeso o takelan-tsongo’oo le miambesara, sokiro ty hoe: limampolo.
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 Le hoe ka re ami’ty raike: Fire ty songo’o? le hoe re: Ampemba zato gony. Hoe ka ty asa’e: Ingo, rambeso o takela’oo, le valom-polo ty isorata’o.
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 Aa le rinenge’ i bei’ey i mpamandroñe tsy jefa’ey, amy t’ie nampiboake hilala; toe mahilala amy tarira’ey o ana’ ty voatse toio te amo anan-kazavañeo. (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 Le hoe raho ama’ areo: Paiao rañetse arè amo vara tsy vokatseo, soa te ie milesa, ro mbe ho rambeseñe amo anjomba nainai’eo amy hamodoañey. (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 Ze vañom-po ami’ty kede, ho vañom-po ami’ty bey; ze tsy to ami’ty kede tsy ho to ami’ty bey.
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 Aa naho tsy malili-po amo vara tsy vokatseo nahareo, ia ty hampamandroñe anahareo o vente’eo.
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the reality?
12 Le ie tsy vañoñe ami’ty vara’ ondaty, ia ty hanolots’ anahareo ty anahareo?
And if ye have not been found faithful in that which is not yours, who will give to you that which is yours?
13 Tsy eo ty mpitoroñe maha-fitoron-droe; ho heje’e ty raike vaho hikokoa’e ty raike; ke ho rañete’e ty raike vaho ho rihie’e ty raike. Tsy mahafitoroñe an’ Andrianañahare naho o varao nahareo.
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 Ie nahajanjiñe i hoe zay o Fariseoo, kanao mpitea-drala, le nikizak’ aze.
And the Pharisees, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.
15 Aa hoe ty nanoa’e: Mpaniom-batañe am’ ondatio nahareo; fe arofoanan’ Añahare ty arofo’ areo, amy te ze atao’ ondatio ho vara ro tiva am-pivazohoan’ Añahare.
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 Pak’ amy Jaona naho o Mpitokio t’i Hake; namototse henane zay le tseizeñe i Fifehean’Añaharey, vaho fonga mifanisike hizilik’ ao;
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 haivañe ty hihelaña’ i likerañey naho ty tane toy ta ty hamaohañe ndra ty pininìten-tsokitse amy Hake ao.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one letter to pass from the law.
18 Ze mañary valy hañenga ty hafa ro mañarapilo; vaho mañarapilo ka ty mañenga rakemba narian-dahy.
Whoever putteth away his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and whoever taketh her that is put away, committeth adultery.
19 Teo ty mpañaleale, mpisaron-tsarimbo malò-mavo naho leny matify, niaiñañoleñañe an-kafalefaleañe handro an-kandro.
And there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in fine linen and scarlet, and passed every day in splendid luxury.
20 Teo ka ty rarake atao Lazarosy, atseke bae, nakonenak’ añ’ila’ ty lalambei’e eo,
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 le naina’e te hitsimoke ty nifitafita am-pandambaña’ i mpañalealey, te mone o amboao ro nomb’ ama’e nitsela o bae’eo.
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 Ie nihomake i rarakey, le nente’ ty anjely mb’añ’araña’ i Abraàme añe; nihomake ka i mpañalealey, le nalenteke.
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 Ie nanoen-tsamporerak’ an-tanen-dolo ao i mpañalealey le niandra vaho nahatalake i Abraàme rekets’ i Lazarosy añ’araña’e eo, (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 vaho nikoiha’e ty hoe: O aba, Abraàme, tretrezo, ehe ampihitrifo t’i Lazarosy handò ty lengon-drambo-pità’e an-drano hampanintsiñe ty lelako; fa loho malovilovy raho añ’afo mirebareba atoy.
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 Fa hoe ty natoi’ i Abraàme: O anake, tiahio te hene niazo’o o raha fanjakao ihe mbe niveloñe, fa raty ka ty niazo’ i Lazarosy; ohoñen-dre henaneo te ihe malovilovy.
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 Likoare’ i hoe zay, najadoñe añivon-tikañ’ ey ty herakerake jabajaba tsy lefe ty atoy tsaheñe mb’ama’areo ao vaho tsy hahatsake mb’ama’ay mb’etoy ka ty boak’ ey.
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 Le hoe re: Aa naho zay ry raeko, mihalaly ama’o: ampihitrifo mb’ añ’ anjomban-draeko mb’eo,
He said to him: I pray thee, therefore, my father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house;
28 fa lime ty rahalahiko hitaroñañe, tsy mone ho avy am-peh’ ohatse atoy.
for I have five brothers; that he may go and protest to them; lest they also come to this place of torment.
29 Aa hoe t’i Abraàme tama’e: Am’ iareo t’i Mosè naho o Mpitokio; ampitsendreño.
Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 Le hoe ka re: Aiy! ry aba Abraàme; fa naho mb’ am’ iereo mb’eo ty mivañom-beloñe, le tsi-mete tsy hisoloho.
But he said to him: No, my father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Hoe re tama’e: Naho tsy haoñe’ iereo t’i Mosè naho o Mpitokio, le tsy hahafiato ka ndra te eo ty mivañom-beloñe boak’ an-kavilasiy.
Abraham said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not believe, though one should rise from the dead.
