Luka 16
1 Yesu atibabakiya kae benepunzi bake, “Pabile ni mundu yumo tajiri abile ni meneja, ni apeilwe habari ya kwamba meneja yono atapanya mali yake.
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 Nga nyoo tajiri atikumkema, nikum'bakiya, “nga namani yeni yaniipekania kunani yako? Upiye hesabu ya umeneja wako, kwa kuwa uwecha kwaa panga wameneja kae.”
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 Yolo meneja atibaya kumoyo wake, nipala panga namani, mana ngwana wango anikonyie kazi yango ya umeneja? Ntopo ngupu ywa lema, ni loba loba nibona oni.
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 Nilitangite lanipala panga lenga panipoyelwa kukazi yango ya uwakili bandu banikaribishe kunyumba yabe.
I know what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
5 Nga nyoo wakili atikubakema adeni wa ngwana wake kila yumo akam'bakiye wa kwanza,'udaiwa kiasi gani ni ngwana wango?'
And he called each one of his lord's debtors; and he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 Atibaya ipimo mia jimo ya mauta akambakiya 'utole upesi hati yako utame upesi uyandike 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 Boka po atim'bakiya ywenge ni wenga udaiwa kiasi gani? 'atibaya 'ipimo mia jimo vya bwembe wa ngano, akam'bakiya,'utole hati yako uyandike 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 Yolo ngwana atikumsifu meneja dhalimu cha pangite kwa weleu, kwa kuwa bana ba'kilambo wono ni werevu wanambone nashughulika kwa ung'anga ni bandu baupande wabe kuliko bababile bona banuru. (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 Ni nenga nindakuwabakiya muipange ambwiga kwa mali ya udhalimu lenga baikosike babakaribishe katika makao ga 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 Ywa abiile mwaminifu katika lalibile lichunu muno upanga uaminifu katika likolo, ni abile dhalimu katika kichunu muno na katika kikolo pia.
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 Mana mwenga mpangile kwaa uaminifu katika mali ya udhalimu ni ywako apalakukuamini katika mali ya kweli?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the reality?
12 Na mana mwabile kwaa baaminifu katika tumia mali ya mundu ywenge nyai ywapala kuwapea yaibile ya kwinu bene?
And if ye have not been found faithful in that which is not yours, who will give to you that which is yours?
13 Ntopo mtumishi ywaweza tumikia ngwana wanaibele, kwa maamna apala kumchukia yumo ni kumpenda ywenge, ama apala chikamana ni yolo ni kumdharau hayo. Hawesa kwaa kumtumikia Nnongo 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 Bai Mafarisayo, bababile apenda mbanje bayowine ago goti ni chalawa.
And the Pharisees, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.
15 Ni atiabakiya, “mwenga mwamuipunia haki nnonge ya bandu, lakini Nnongo aitangite mioyo yinu, kwa kuwa latitumikite kwa bandu upanga chukizo nnonge ya Nnongo.
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 Saliya na manabii vyabile mpaka Yohana paichile. Boka wakati wolo, habari njema ya ufalme wa Nnongo utitangazwa, ni kila mundu upaya jingya kwa ngupu.
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 ni rahisi ka kumaunde ni pakilambo viboke kuliko hata herufi yimo ya saliyakosekana.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one letter to pass from the law.
18 Kila ywanneka nnyumbowe ni kobeka nnwawa ywenge azini, nayomkobeka ywembe ywalekwite ni nchengowe azini.
Whoever putteth away his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and whoever taketh her that is put away, committeth adultery.
19 Pabile ni mundu yumo tajiri awalite ngobo za rangi ya zambarau ni kitani safi ni abile atipurai kila lichoba utajiri wake nkolo.
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 yumo lina lyake Lazaro abekitwe muligeti lyake, ni ana ilonda.
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 ywembe atitamani yukuta kwa makombo yatambwike katika meza ya yolo tajiri hata mapwa waichile ni kumlambata ilonda yake.
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 Ikawa yolo maskini awile ni tolekwa ni malaika mpaka pakiuba cha Ibrahimu. Yolo tajiri pia awile nachikwa.
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.

And being tormented in hell, he raised his eyes from afar off, and saw Abraham, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)

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 abayite, “mwana wango ukumbuke ya kwamba katika maisha yako utipokiya makowe yako mema, ni Lazaro nyo apatike mabaya. Ila nambeyambe abile pano anafarijiwa ni wenga unalumia.
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 ya ago, kubekitwe liembwa likolo ni lilacho kati yitu, lengo balo bapala boka kono icha kwoo kana bawechange wala bandu wa kwinu kana baloke icha kwitu.”
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 Yolo tajiri abayite,'nindakuloba tate Ibrahimu, kwamba umtume kunyumba ya tate bango.
He said to him: I pray thee, therefore, my father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house;
28 kwa kuwa nibile nabo anunango atano linga abaonye, kwa hofu kwamba nabo baicha mahali pano nateseka.'
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 abayite, “babile Musa ni manabii babapekani bao.
Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 Yolo tajiri atibaya, “nyoo kwaa, tate Ibrahimu, lakini mana ayendile mundu boka kono kwa wafu bapala tubu.'
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 atikum'bakiya,'kana bakani kuwa pekania Musa ni manabii bapala shawishika kwaa ni mundu hata mana atiuluka boka mu'kiwo.
Abraham said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not believe, though one should rise from the dead.
