Luk 16
1 Jisu ih heliphante loong suh baatta, “Teewadi changteng wasiit angta heh nyamka loong ah heh laksuh suh maak thukta. Changteng wah asuh baat rumta heh laksuh ih bah heh nyamka rah lalangka ni thaajaaha eah.
Jesus told his disciples this story. “There was once a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting what belonged to his master.
2 Erah thoidi heh laksuh ah poon ano liita, ‘Arah ngah ih an tiit tumjih japchaat hang? Thoontang ngaakwanho an suh nga nyamka mathan ban maak thuk taha loong rah ah, tumeah an aadowa ih nga mootkaat phanlante takah angko.’
So the rich man called in his manager, and asked him, ‘What's this I hear about you? Bring in your accounts, because you won't be continuing as manager.’
3 Laksuh rah ih heh teeteewah suh liita, ‘nga changte wah ih ngah ah arah motang dowa etoohaat et thukte. Eno bah ngah ih tumjih re ang? Ngah ih phek uh tabaam jen phekkang, eno bikthaang suh uh rakmuurakke nih.
The manager said to himself, ‘Now what will I do since my master is going to fire me from my job? I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg.
4 Amadi ngah tumjih reejih ah jat ih ang! Eno nga mootkaat ah thoon abah, nga joonte loong eje neng ih ngah neng nok nah poon et hang.’
Oh, I know what I'm going to do so that when I'm sacked as manager people will make me welcome in their homes.’
5 “Eno heh ih heh changte wah nyamka namte loong mih ah lompoon ano baat rumta. Heh ih jaakhoh wah thoon asuh chengta, ‘an ih nga changte wah dowa mathan nam tu?’
So he invited all those who were in debt to his master to come and see him. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 Olip bangthiing thuung chaasiit, heh ih ngaakbaatta. Mootkaat phanlante rah ih baatta; ‘an di arathan,’ ‘tong uh rook banga et raang uh.’
The man replied, ‘A hundred units of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Sit down quickly. Take your bill, and change it to fifty.’
7 Eno heh ih wahoh suh we chengta, ‘an ih aleh mathan nam tu?’ ‘Ata tiik haajaat siit thekook namtang,’ heh ih ngaakbaatta. ‘Arah than an ih kotjih ah,’ Laksuh rah ih baatta; ‘Cha asaat et raang uh.’
Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A hundred units of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill and change it to eighty.’
8 “Erah thoidi changte wah ih phanlante maakthiwah ah jeng lachaat thang ih reeraangta asuh egu etjih ih hoonta; tumeah, arah mongrep dowa mina loong ah maama nyamka phanlan suh maakthih totoh weephaak mina loong ah nang ih ah.” (aiōn g165)
The rich man commended his dishonest manager for his cunning idea. The children of this world are more cunning towards one another than are the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Erah dam ih Jisu ih li rumta, “Erah thoih ih ngah ih baat rumhala: sen ih arah hatoh nyamka ah maak anno sen joonte ah hoon an, eno erah nyamka loong ah thoon sa doh, sen ah roitang lathoon theng nok adoh soongraang noppoon han. (aiōnios g166)
I tell you, use the wealth of this world to make friends for yourselves so that when it's gone, you'll be welcomed into an eternal home. (aiōnios g166)
10 O mina ehinsah adi jen tuungmaang ah erah mina ah elongwah asuh uh ejen tuungmaang eah; o mina ehinsah nah phang thih abah elong nah uh ethih ang ah.
If you can be trusted with very little you can also be trusted with much; if you are dishonest with very little you will also be dishonest with much.
11 Erah ang abah, sen hatoh nyamka adoh laphang toongtang kanbah, amiisak nyamka asuh tang mame jen toongtang baat an?
So if you can't be trusted when it comes to worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?
12 Erah dam ih mihoh hukkhaak asuh sen laphang toongtang kanbah, an hukkhaak loong ah an suh uh o ih ma koho?
And if you can't be trusted with what belongs to someone else, who will trust you with what is yours?
13 “Laksuh wasiit ah changte wanyi nok nah tajen moka; heh ih wasiit asuh mongnook ano wasiit ah miksuk jaatjaat et ah; heh ih wasiit dam adoh toongtang ang ah eno wasiit dam adoh toongtangka tah angka ang ah. An ih Rangte nyia ngun enyiinyi an changte tajen et hoonko.
No servant can obey two masters. Either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Money.”
14 Pharisi loong ih erah japchaat rum ano, Jisu ah putbeek ngitkhuung rumta, tumeah neng ih ngun ah mongnook rumta.
The Pharisees, who loved money, heard what Jesus said and laughed at him.
15 Jisu ih baat rumta, “Sen loong ih senteewah ah mihoh miksok di epun et noisokte mina loong, enoothong sen tenthun ah Rangte ih jat ih halan. Tumeah marah suh mina ih thaangchaan thoon ih thiik ha ah Rangte raang ih thaangmuh ang ah.
But Jesus told them, “You appear pious to people, but God knows what you're thinking. What people value highly is detested by God.
16 “Moses Hootthe nyia khowah loong ih raangta loong ah Juungtemte Joon tuk ih maak rumta; erah lih adi Ruurang Ese Rangte Hasong tiit ah baat rumha, eno erah hasong adoh nop suh laat tuutmui rumla.
What was written in the law and the prophets lasted until John. From then on the good news of the kingdom of God is being spread, and everyone is forcing their way in.
17 Enoothong Hootthe nawa jengdang ehinsah esiit taan uh lamatjih erah nang ih bah rang nyi hah mat ah elaang laan ang ah.
However, it's easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the smallest point of the Law to disappear.
18 “O mina ih heh nusah dowa paak ano mihoh weekap abah heh ih roomjup mat ah kap ha; eno epaakcho minuh we kapte warah eh uh roomjup mat ah kap ha.
Any man who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery, and a man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
19 “Ehak di changteng wasiit angta heh ah thaangchaan nyuh akhat di choom ano saarookwih laboot labe ih songtongta.
Once there was a man who was rich. He wore purple clothes and fine linen, and enjoyed a luxurious life.
20 Erah di changthih wasiit heh men ah Lajaras, heh sak ah putang ih jeekma arah changteng wah nok kaaluung thong ni ban tongta,
A beggar named Lazarus used to sit at his gate, covered in sores,
21 changteng wah tuibung teebun khui ni thaaja arah bantoon phaksate angta. Heh ma adi hui loong ih nep miiklak ih rumta.
longing to eat the leftovers from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 “Changthih wah ah tek ano rangsah loong ih Abraham re nah tongthuk suh siit wanrumta rangmong nawa sadung phaksat adi ah. Changteng wah ah tek ano bengkaatta,
Then the beggar died, and angels carried him away to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
23 eno soolam ni, heh rapne ih chamwangta, heh rangkho ko ih toonsok adi haloot ni Abraham ah japtupta, Lajaras ah Abraham re adi tongta. (Hadēs g86)
In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham in the far distance, with Lazarus beside him. (Hadēs g86)
24 Eno heh ih poonta, ‘Ewah Abraham! Ngah minchan ih weehang, Lajaras ah daapkaat weeho heh laktiik ah juung adoh tem ano nga tuuhih adoh taan toom tengtem jah weehang, tumeah arah we adi ngah rapne ih chamlang!’
‘Father Abraham,’ he called out, ‘Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I'm burning in agony.’
25 “Eno Abraham ih liita,” Dokthun et uh, nga sah, an roidong di an suh jaatrep eseejih loong ah kotaho, erah di Lajaras ah jaatrep ethih loong ah chota. Erah thoidi amadi heh tenroon ih tongla, eno an ah cham elu.
But Abraham replied, ‘My son, remember that you enjoyed the good things of life, while Lazarus had a very poor life. Now he is here being comforted, while you suffer in torment.
26 Erah loong tokkhodi, seng chamchi ni echoongwah haluung jeela, erah doh o mina uh aako nawa an reeko tami daankhoom raari, adoleh an reeko nawa uh aako nah tami daankhoom raaran.’
Apart from that, there's a great gulf that stretches between us and you. Nobody who wants to cross from here to you can do so, and nobody can cross from there over to us.’
27 Changteng wah ih liita, ‘Erah ang abah, an lasih joh weehala, ewah Abraham, seng wah nok nah Lajaras ah kaat thuk weeuh,
The rich man said, ‘Then Father, I beg you, please send him to my father's house.
28 erah di nga nooloong wah banga je ah. Heh kah ano toom choophaan kah weerum ah, arah than chamchojih adoh neng ah taan naktoom mok wang we rumha.’
For I have five brothers and he can warn them so that they don't end up here in this place of torment.’
29 “Abraham ih baatta, ‘An nooloong di Moses nyia khowah loong eje neng suh baatte ah; neng ih erah loong jeng ah kapjih ang ah.’
But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. They should listen to them.’
30 Changteng wah ih ngaakbaatta, ‘Erah ah talaaleh weeka, ewah Abraham! Erah nah o ang abah uh tek nawa ngaaksaat ano neng reenah kah abah, neng rangdah nawa elek eah.’
‘No, father Abraham,’ said the man. ‘But they would repent if someone went to them from the dead!’
31 Ang abah uh Abraham ih liita, “Neng ih Moses nyia khowah loong jeng ah lachaat rumka bah, tek nawa ngaaksaatte taatje abah uh neng ih tabaam kapka.’”
Abraham said to him, ‘If they won't listen to Moses and the prophets, they won't be convinced even if someone returns from the dead.’”
