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.

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 Jaunkoa ap madamadaua indada: Da me i en wia, pwe ai monjap pan ki jan ia ai koa, nan I jota kak weweir, a poekipoeki me i namenokki.
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 I ap ajada, me i pan wia, i lao japwilidi jan ai koa, pwe irail en kajamo ia Ion on nan im ar akan.
