Luka 16
1 Antele abhabholele asambelezwe bhakwe, “Pali no mntu omo alitakiri alino wakili wakwe, ono atakwilwe hwamwahale anankanya eshoma shakwe.
And He also said to His disciples, “A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering 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 I hear about you? Render the account of your stewardship, for you may not be steward any longer.
3 Ola owakili wayanga mumwoyo gwa kwao, Embombe wele, nkashere ogosi wane anefwa ouwakili? Alime sebwezizye alabhe, elola esoni.
And the steward said in himself, What will I do, because my lord takes away 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 have known what I will do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
5 Wabhakwizya bhabhakhopile amadeni aga gosi wakwe shila omo wabhora owhwande, 'odayiwa nogosi wane?'
And having called near each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord?
6 Wayanga eshipimo mia eshe mafuta wabhora 'ege ehati yaho simba hamsini.'
And he said, One hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take your bill, and having sat down write fifty.
7 antele wabhora owamwaho na we odaiwa?' wayanga 'makanda mia age ngano wabhoro ega ehati yaho simba themanini.'
Afterward to another he said, And you, how much do you owe? And he said, One hundred cors of wheat; and he says to him, Take your bill, 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 commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light in respect to their generation. (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 out of the wealth of unrighteousness, that when you may fail, they may receive you into the continuous dwelling places. (aiōnios g166)
10 Yali mwamini lyalili lidodo tee abhamwamini hwi gosi nantele. na yali dhalimu hwidolo abhabhe dhalimu hata hwigosi nantele.
He who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;
11 Basi nkashile amwe semwali bhaminifu hushoma eshe udhalimu wenu wabhapele amana eshoma eshelyoli?
if, then, in the unrighteous wealth you did not become faithful—who will entrust to you the true?
12 Na nkashile semwali bhaminifu hushoma esha mntu owenje wenu yabhabhapele yeli yahulimwe mwemwe?
And if in the other’s you did not become faithful—who will 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 is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one, and he will love the other; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; you are not able to serve God and wealth.”
14 Basi Mafarisayo, abhene bhebho bhasogwa ehela bhahovwezye ago gonti bha dhihaki.
And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding 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, “You are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God knows your hearts; because that which is high among men [is] 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 [are] until John; since then the good news of the Kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone presses into it;
17 Lelo nafu zaidi emwanya nensi vyepe ashile aje etanguliwe enukta emo eye torati.
and it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than one tittle to fall of the Law.
18 Shila yahuleha oshe wakwe na humweje oshe owenje azini wape yahumwega yalehwilye nolume wakwe anazini.
Everyone who is sending his wife away, and marrying another, commits adultery; and everyone who is marrying her sent 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.
And—a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,
20 No pena omo itawa lyakwe yo Lazaro abhehwelya palyango gwakwe ali na malonda gaminji.
and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, 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 from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; indeed, also the dogs, coming, were licking 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 messengers 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 having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham far 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 having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed 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.
And Abraham said, Child, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and you are distressed;
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 these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from here to you are not able, nor do they pass through from there to us.
27 Wayanga, 'Basi Baba ehulabha, osontezye akhaya hwa baba wane
And he said, I ask, then, father, that you may 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 thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
29 Ibulahimu wayanga, 'Bhalinabho oMusa na kuwa. Na bhabhovwe ebho.
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.'
and he said, No, father Abraham, but if anyone from the dead may go to them, they will convert.
31 Wabhola nkashele sebhabhowa aMusa nu kuwa sebhanzashawishiwe hata omntu nkashile azyoshe afume wabhafwe.
And he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one may rise out of the dead.”
