Luka 16
1 Antele abhabholele asambelezwe bhakwe, “Pali no mntu omo alitakiri alino wakili wakwe, ono atakwilwe hwamwahale anankanya eshoma shakwe.
And he said also to [his] disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and he was accused to him as wasting his goods.
2 Wakwizya wabhola, “Nongwa wele ezi zyehwovwa juu ya hwiliwe? Fumia ehesabu eye owakili waho afwanaje sowezizye abhe wakili nantele.'
And having called him, he said to him, What [is] this that I hear of thee? give the reckoning of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.
3 Ola owakili wayanga mumwoyo gwa kwao, Embombe wele, nkashere ogosi wane anefwa ouwakili? Alime sebwezizye alabhe, elola esoni.
And the steward said within himself, What shall I do; for my lord is taking the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
4 Endimenye lyembabhombe ili nabhanefwe huwakili bhankaribizyaje mkhaya zyabho.
I know what I will do, that when I shall have been removed from the stewardship I may be received into their houses.
5 Wabhakwizya bhabhakhopile amadeni aga gosi wakwe shila omo wabhora owhwande, 'odayiwa nogosi wane?'
And having called to [him] each one of the debtors of his own lord, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 Wayanga eshipimo mia eshe mafuta wabhora 'ege ehati yaho simba hamsini.'
And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take thy writing and sit down quickly and write fifty.
7 antele wabhora owamwaho na we odaiwa?' wayanga 'makanda mia age ngano wabhoro ega ehati yaho simba themanini.'
Then he said to another, And thou, how much dost thou owe? And he said, A hundred cors of wheat. And he says to him, Take thy writing and write eighty.
8 Ola gosi wasomba owakili dhalimu shashila shabhombile hubusara. Afwanaje abhana abhensi ene katika epapo yabho bhebho bhabha ne busara ashile abhana abhe lukhozyo. (aiōn g165)
And the lord praised the unrighteous steward because he had done prudently. For the sons of this world are, for their own generation, more prudent than the sons of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Nane embabhola bhombelaji abhe rafiki weshoma eshe udhalimu ili nehaibhanemo bhabhakaribizyaje hukhaya eye umilele. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends with the mammon of unrighteousness, that when it fails ye may be received into the eternal tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
10 Yali mwamini lyalili lidodo tee abhamwamini hwi gosi nantele. na yali dhalimu hwidolo abhabhe dhalimu hata hwigosi nantele.
He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much; and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
11 Basi nkashile amwe semwali bhaminifu hushoma eshe udhalimu wenu wabhapele amana eshoma eshelyoli?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true?
12 Na nkashile semwali bhaminifu hushoma esha mntu owenje wenu yabhabhapele yeli yahulimwe mwemwe?
and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who shall give to you your own?
13 Nomo obhombambo yabhabhambele agosi bhabhele, afwanaje abhahuvitwe ono nahusongwe ono, au abhakhatane nono na hudhalau ono. Sawezizye hutumishile Ongolobhe ne shoma.”
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will cleave to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Basi Mafarisayo, abhene bhebho bhasogwa ehela bhahovwezye ago gonti bha dhihaki.
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and mocked him.
15 Wabhabhola, “Mwe mwemwe mhwidai elyoli hwitagalila elya bhantu, lelo Ongolobhe abhamenye amoyo genyu afwanaje lyalisobwa hwa bhanadamu uhuvisya hwitagalila elya Ngolobhe.
And he said to them, Ye are they who justify themselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what amongst men is highly thought of is an abomination before God.
16 Etorati na kuwa vyahali mpaka Yohani afume. Ouwakati wowo enongwa enyinza ezye umwene owa Ngolobhe zitangaziwa, na shila mntu ahwiyinjizya humaha.
The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the glad tidings of the kingdom of God are announced, and every one forces his way into it.
17 Lelo nafu zaidi emwanya nensi vyepe ashile aje etanguliwe enukta emo eye torati.
But it is easier that the heaven and the earth should pass away than that one tittle of the law should fail.
18 Shila yahuleha oshe wakwe na humweje oshe owenje azini wape yahumwega yalehwilye nolume wakwe anazini.
Every one who puts away his wife and marries another commits adultery; and every one that marries one put away from a husband commits adultery.
19 Pali ono mntu takili akwete nu menda ege rangi ye zambarau na kitani nyinza na lye ensiku zyonti kwa anasa.
Now there was a rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day.
20 No pena omo itawa lyakwe yo Lazaro abhehwelya palyango gwakwe ali na malonda gaminji.
And [there was] a poor man, by name Lazarus, [who] was laid at his gateway full of sores,
21 Wape ali akitamani akutiziwe amambo gagalagaliye pameza eyola otakiri hata embwa zyeza zya guna amaronda gakwe.
and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming licked his sores.
22 Yabha ola opena wagwa wegwano malaika paka pashifiwa esha Ibulahimu ola otakiri wape wafwa wa syelwa.
And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23 Basi ohula huzimu abhosezye amaso gakwe nali pamarabha walola Ibulahimu sahutari no Lazaro pashifua shakwe. (Hadēs g86)
And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Walila wayanga, 'Ee baba Ibulahimu, sajire osontezye oLazaro atobhezye echa eye shidole shakwe mmenze, aluburudishe omele lwane; afwanaje elabha mu mwoto omu.
And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.
25 Ibulahimu wayanga, 'Mwanawane kumbuhaga eyaje awe waposheye amambo aminza gahuliwe katika amaisha gaho, no Lozaro shesho apete amabhibhi na eshi omwahale aliepa afarijiwa na awe ovwalala.
But Abraham said, Child, recollect that thou hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and thou art in suffering.
26 Na zaidi yego kati yetu ate na mwe libhehwelwe irende igosi, ili bhala bhabhafuma ohwo abhale hwilimwe bhagajeshile wala abhantu abhahwilimwe bhagaje shile ahwenze hwititi.'
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who [desire to cross] from there pass over unto us.
27 Wayanga, 'Basi Baba ehulabha, osontezye akhaya hwa baba wane
And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father,
28 afwanaje endi na holo bhasanu ili abhashudile bhasije bhape nantele bhafihe mahali epa pamalabha. '
for I have five brothers, so that he may earnestly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
29 Ibulahimu wayanga, 'Bhalinabho oMusa na kuwa. Na bhabhovwe ebho.
But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.
30 Wayanga, 'la, Baba Ibrahimu, lelo nkashile abhabhabhalile omntu yafuma hwa bhafwa bhanzarambe.'
But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.
31 Wabhola nkashele sebhabhowa aMusa nu kuwa sebhanzashawishiwe hata omntu nkashile azyoshe afume wabhafwe.
And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among [the] dead will they be persuaded.
