Luka 16
1 O Isus ple učenikonenđe vaćerđa: “Jekhe barvale manuše ine upravniko kole tužinde da halja lesoro barvalipe.
Jesus said to his disciples: “There was a rich man who had a steward; and this steward was maliciously accused to him of wasting his estate.
2 I o barvalo vičinđa le hem phenđa lese: ‘So šunava tutar adava? Ana maje o spisko kote pisinđan mle lovendar adalese so našti više te ćere buti kora mande sar upravniko!’
So the master called him and said ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give in your accounts, for you cannot act as steward any longer.’
3 Tegani o upravniko phenđa ana peste: ‘So ka ćerav kad mlo gospodari ka cidel man tari buti? Na injum edobor zoralo te handav, a lađava te prosinav.
‘What am I to do,’ the steward asked himself, ‘now that my master is taking the steward’s place away from me? I have not strength to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
4 Džanav so te ćerav te šaj o manuša priminen man pumenđe ano čhera kad ka ovav cidime tari buti.’
I know what I will do, so that, as soon as I am turned out of my stewardship, people may welcome me into their homes.’
5 I vičinđa sa ple gospodaresere dužnikonen, i pučlja e prvone: ‘Kobor aveja mle gospodarese?’
One by one he called up his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked of the first.
6 A ov phenđa: ‘Šel burija uljeja.’ Tegani o upravniko phenđa lese: ‘Siđar le to lil kaj pisime kobor aveja lese hem čhiv da aveja lese pinda.’
‘Four hundred and forty gallons of oil,’ answered the man. ‘Here is your agreement,’ he said; ‘sit down at once and make it two hundred and twenty.’
7 I pučlja avere: ‘A tu kobor aveja mle gospodarese?’ A ov phenđa: ‘Šel burija điveja.’ I olese da phenđa o upravniko: ‘Le to lil hem čhiv da aveja lese oftovardeš.’
And you, the steward said to the next, ‘how much do you owe?’ ‘Seventy quarters of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Here is your agreement,’ the steward said; ‘make it fifty-six.’
8 I o gospodari pohvalinđa e nepoštenone upravniko so inele džando hem so ađahar postupinđa. Akava mothoj dai o manuša akale svetosere po džande ko postupci premalo okolende kolai slična olenđe, nego o manuša e svetlosere. (aiōn g165)
His master complimented this dishonest steward on the shrewdness of his action. And indeed men of the world are shrewder in dealing with their fellow-men than those who have the Light. (aiōn g165)
9 Vaćerava tumenđe: ćeren tumenđe amalen ađahar so ka pomožinen lenđe akala phuvjakere barvalipnaja, te šaj, kad ka nakhel adava barvalipe, te oven primime ano večna čhera. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you ‘Win friends for yourselves with your dishonest money,’ so that, when it comes to an end, there may be a welcome for you into the Eternal Home. (aiōnios g166)
10 Kovai verno ano najtikore buća, ov ka ovel verno hem ano najbare; a kova nane pravedno ano najtikore buća, ov naka ovel pravedno hem ano najbare.
He who is trustworthy in the smallest matter is trustworthy in a great one also; and he who is dishonest in the smallest matter is dishonest in a great one also.
11 Te na injen verna ano akala phuvjakoro barvalipe, ko ka mukel tumenđe ano vasta o čačimasoro barvalipe?
So, if you have proved untrustworthy with the ‘dishonest money,’ who will trust you with the true?
12 Te na injenle verna ano averesoro barvalipe, ko ka del tumen tumaro?
And, if you have proved untrustworthy with what does not belong to us, who will give you what is really our own?
13 Nijekh sluga našti kandel duje gospodaren. Ili ka mrzini jekhe, a ka mangel e dujtone; ili jekhese ka ovel poslušno, a e dujtone naka podnosini. Našti kanden hem e Devle hem o barvalipe.”
No servant can serve two masters, for, either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will attach himself to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.”
14 Sa adava, so vaćerđa o Isus, šunde o fariseja kola but mangle o love, i asandile lese.
All this was said within hearing of the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, and they began to sneer at Jesus.
15 A o Isus phenđa lenđe: “Tumen injen adala so ćerena tumen pravedna anglo manuša, ali o Devel džanel tumare vile. Okova soi but vredno e manušenđe, adavai gadno e Devlese.”
“You,” said Jesus, “are the men who justify themselves before the world, but God can read your hearts; and what is highly esteemed among men may be an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Tegani o Isus phenđa: “O Zakoni e Mojsijasoro hem o Lila e prorokonengere sikavena ine e manušen đi o aviba e Jovanesoro, a od tegani propovedini pe o Šukar lafi taro carstvo e Devlesoro hem đijekh nasilno đerdini ano leste.
The Law and the Prophets sufficed until the time of John. Since then the Good News of the Kingdom of God has been told, and everybody has been forcing his way into it.
17 A palem, po lokhe o nebo hem i phuv te nakhen, negoli jekh slovo oto Zakoni te properel.
It would be easier for the heavens and the earth to disappear than for one stroke of a letter in the Law to be lost.
18 Jekh primer: Kova tumendar ačhaj pla romnja hem lela avera, ćerela preljuba. Hem kova lela romnja kola o rom muklja, isto ćerela preljuba.”
Every one who divorces his wife and marries another woman is an adulterer, and the man who marries a divorced woman is an adulterer.
19 O Isus phenđa: “Inele nesavo barvalo manuš kova urjela pe ine sa ano najšuže šeja hem taro dive ko dive hala ine sa najšukar habinja.
There was once a rich man, who dressed in purple robes and fine linen, and feasted every day in great splendour.
20 Angli lesiri kapija sa ano čirevija pašljola ine nesavo čororo manuš palo anav Lazar.
Near his gateway there had been laid a beggar named Lazarus, who was covered with sores,
21 Ov but manglja te čaljari pe e troškendar save perena ine taro astali e barvalesoro. Čak hem o đukle avena ine hem ližinena lesere čirevija.
and who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the very dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Kad mulo o čororo, o anđelja legarde le e Avraamese ki angali. I o barvalo da mulo hem inele parume.
After a time the beggar died, and was taken by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
23 I ano than e mulengoro, ano bare muke, o barvalo vazdinđa ple jaćha hem odural dikhlja e Avraame hem e Lazare lese ani angali. (Hadēs g86)
In the Place of Death he looked up in his torment, and saw Abraham at a distance and Lazarus at his side. (Hadēs g86)
24 Tegani vičinđa: ‘Dade Avraame, smilujin tut maje hem bičhal e Lazare te čhivel samo hari plo naj ano pani hem te avel te šudrari mli čhib, adalese so but injum mučime ani akaja jag.’
So he called out ‘Pity me, Father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering agony in this flame.’
25 A o Avraam phenđa: ‘Mlo čhavo, setin tut da priminđan to šukaripe tuće ko dživdipe, a o Lazar plo bišukaripe. A akanai e Lazarese šukar akate, a tu mučineja tut.
‘Child,’ answered Abraham, ‘remember that you in your lifetime received what you thought desirable, just as Lazarus received what was not desirable; but now he has his consolation here, while you are suffering agony.
26 Sem adava, isi bari provalija maškar amende hem tumende i te manglja neko te nakhel akatar kora tumende ili adathar kora amende, naka šaj.’
And not only that, but between you and us there lies a great chasm, so that those who wish to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they cross from there to us.’
27 A o barvalo phenđa: ‘Onda molinava tut, dade Avraame, bičhal e Lazare mle dadese ko čher.
‘Then, Father,’ he said, ‘I beg you to send Lazarus to my father’s house —
28 Adari isi man pandž phralja. Nek o Lazar upozorini len, te na aven hem on ko akava than e mukengoro.’
For I have five brothers to warn them, so that they may not come to this place of torture also.’
29 A o Avraam phenđa: ‘Isi len o Zakoni e Mojsijasoro hem o Lila e prorokonengere. Nek šunen olen!’
‘They have the writings of Moses and the Prophets,’ replied Abraham; ‘let them listen to them.’
30 A ov phenđa: ‘Nane adava dovoljno, dade Avraame! Ali te alo lenđe neko taro mule, ka obratinen pe.’
‘But, Father Abraham,’ he urged, ‘if some one from the dead were to go to them, they would repent.’
31 I o Avraam phenđa lese: ‘Te na šunde adava so pisinđa o Mojsije hem o proroci, naka šunen ni te neko uštino taro mule.’”
‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets,’ answered Abraham, ‘they will not be persuaded, even if some one were to rise from the dead.’”
