Luka 16
1 Yesu aliwaambia wanafunzi wake: “Tajiri mmoja alikuwa na karani wake. Huyu karani alichongewa kwamba alitumia ovyo mali ya tajiri wake.
He seide also to hise disciplis, Ther was a riche man, that hadde a baili; and this was defamed to him, as he hadde wastid his goodis.
2 Yule tajiri akamwita akamwambia: Ni mambo gani haya ninayosikia juu yako? Toa hesabu ya mapato na matumizi ya mali yangu, kwa maana huwezi kuwa karani tena.
And he clepide hym, and seide to hym, What here Y this thing of thee? yelde reckynyng of thi baili, for thou miyte not now be baili.
3 Yule karani akafikiri: Bwana wangu amenifukuza kazi ya ukarani; nitafanya nini? Kwenda kulima siwezi; kwenda kuombaomba kama maskini ni aibu.
And the baili seide with ynne him silf, What schal Y do, for my lord takith awei fro me the baili? delfe mai Y not, I schame to begge.
4 Naam, najua la kufanya, ili nitakapofukuzwa kazi, watu waweze kunikaribisha nyumbani kwao.
Y woot what Y schal do, that whanne Y am remeued fro the baili, thei resseyue me in to her hous.
5 Basi, akawaita wadeni wa bwana wake, mmoja mmoja, akamwambia yule wa kwanza: Unadaiwa kiasi gani na bwana wangu?
Therfor whanne alle the dettours of his lord weren clepid togider, he seide to the firste, Hou myche owist thou to my lord?
6 Yeye akamjibu: Mapipa mia ya mafuta ya zeituni. Yule karani akamwambia: Chukua hati yako ya deni, keti haraka, andika hamsini.
And he seide, An hundrid barelis of oyle. And he seide to hym, Take thi caucioun, and sitte soone, and write fifti.
7 Kisha akamwuliza mdeni mwingine: Wewe unadaiwa kiasi gani? Yeye akamjibu: Magunia mia ya ngano. Yule karani akamwambia: Chukua hati yako ya deni, andika themanini.
Aftirward he seide to another, And hou myche owist thou? Which answerde, An hundrid coris of whete. And he seide to hym, Take thi lettris, and write foure scoore.
8 “Basi, yule bwana akamsifu huyo karani asiye mwaminifu, kwa kuwa alitumia busara. Kwa maana watu wa dunia hii wana busara zaidi na mambo yao kuliko watu wa mwanga.” (aiōn g165)
And the lord preiside the baili of wickydnesse, for he hadde do prudentli; for the sones of this world ben more prudent in her generacioun than the sones of liyt. (aiōn g165)
9 Naye Yesu akaendelea kusema, “Nami nawaambieni, jifanyieni marafiki kutokana na mali ya dunia, ili zitakapowaishieni, mweze kupokewa nao katika makao ya milele. (aiōnios g166)
And Y seie to you, make ye to you freendis of the ritchesse of wickidnesse, that whanne ye schulen fayle, thei resseyue you in to euerlastynge tabernaclis. (aiōnios g166)
10 Yeyote aliye mwaminifu katika mambo madogo, atakuwa mwaminifu katika mambo makubwa; na yeyote asiye mwaminifu katika mambo madogo, hatakuwa mwaminifu katika mambo makubwa.
He that is trewe in the leeste thing, is trewe also in the more; and he that is wickid in a litil thing, is wickid also in the more.
11 Kama basi, ninyi si hamjawa waaminifu mali mbaya za dunia, ni nani atakayewakabidhi zile mali za kweli?
Therfor if ye weren not trewe in the wickid thing of ritchesse, who schal bitake to you that that is verry?
12 Na kama hamjakuwa waaminifu katika mali ya mtu mwingine, ni nani atakayewakabidhi mali yenu wenyewe?
And if ye weren not trewe in othere mennus thing, who schal yyue to you that that is youre?
13 “Hakuna mtumishi awezaye kuwatumikia mabwana wawili; kwa maana atamchukia mmoja na kumpenda mwingine, au ataambatana na mmoja na kumdharau mwingine. Hamwezi kumtumikia Mungu na mali.”
No seruaunt may serue to twei lordis; for ether he schal hate `the toon, and loue the tothir; ethir he schal drawe to `the toon, and schal dispise the tothir. Ye moun not serue to God and to ritchesse.
14 Lakini Mafarisayo waliposikia hayo, kwa vile wao walikuwa wanapenda sana fedha, wakamdharau Yesu.
But the Farisees, that weren coueytous, herden alle these thingis, and thei scorneden hym.
15 Hapo akawaambia, “Ninyi mnajifanya wema mbele ya watu, lakini Mungu anaijua mioyo yenu. Kwa maana kile kinachoonekana kuwa kitukufu mbele ya watu, Mungu anakiona kuwa takataka.
And he seide to hem, Ye it ben, that iustifien you bifor men; but God hath knowun youre hertis, for that that is hiy to men, is abhomynacioun bifor God.
16 “Sheria na maandishi ya manabii vilikuweko mpaka wakati wa Yohane mbatizaji. Tangu hapo, Ufalme wa Mungu unahubiriwa, na kila mmoja anauingia kwa nguvu.
The lawe and prophetis til to Joon; fro that tyme the rewme of God is euangelisid, and ech man doith violence in to it.
17 Lakini ni rahisi zaidi mbingu na dunia kupita, kuliko hata herufi moja ya Sheria kufutwa.
Forsothe it is liyter heuene and erthe to passe, than that o titil falle fro the lawe.
18 “Yeyote anayemwacha mke wake na kuoa mwingine, anazini; na yeyote anayemwoa mwanamke aliyepewa talaka, anazini.
Euery man that forsakith his wijf, and weddith an other, doith letcherie; and he that weddith the wijf forsakun of the hosebonde, doith auowtrie.
19 “Palikuwa na mtu mmoja tajiri, ambaye alikuwa anavaa mavazi ya bei kubwa sana ya rangi ya zambarau, na ya kitani safi, na kufanya sherehe kila siku.
There was a riche man, and was clothid in purpur, and whit silk, and eete euery dai schynyngli.
20 Kulikuwa pia na maskini mmoja jina lake Lazaro, aliyekuwa amejaa vidonda na alikuwa analazwa mlangoni pa nyumba ya huyo tajiri.
And there was a begger, Lazarus bi name, that lai at his yate ful of bilis,
21 Lazaro alitamani kula makombo yaliyoanguka kutoka meza ya tajiri; na zaidi ya hayo, mbwa walikuwa wanakuja na kulamba vidonda vyake!
and coueitide to be fulfillid of the crummes, that fellen doun fro the riche mannus boord, and no man yaf to hym; but houndis camen, and lickiden hise bilis.
22 “Ikatokea kwamba huyo maskini akafa, malaika wakamchukua, wakamweka karibu na Abrahamu. Na yule tajiri pia akafa, akazikwa.
And it was don, that the begger diede, and was borun of aungels in to Abrahams bosum. And the riche man was deed also,
23 Huyo tajiri, alikuwa na mateso makali huko kuzimu, akainua macho yake, akamwona Abrahamu kwa mbali na Lazaro karibu naye. (Hadēs g86)
and was biried in helle. And he reiside hise iyen, whanne he was in turmentis, and say Abraham afer, and Lazarus in his bosum. (Hadēs g86)
24 Basi, akaita kwa sauti: Baba Abrahamu, nionee huruma; umtume Lazaro angalau achovye ncha ya kidole chake katika maji, auburudishe ulimi wangu, maana ninateseka mno katika moto huu.
And he criede, and seide, Fadir Abraham, haue merci on me, and sende Lazarus, that he dippe the ende of his fyngur in watir, to kele my tunge; for Y am turmentid in this flawme.
25 Lakini Abrahamu akamjibu: Kumbuka mwanangu, kwamba ulipokea mema yako katika maisha, naye Lazaro akapokea mabaya. Sasa lakini, yeye anatulizwa, nawe unateswa.
And Abraham seide to hym, Sone, haue mynde, for thou hast resseyued good thingis in thi lijf, and Lazarus also yuel thingis; but he is now coumfortid, and thou art turmentid.
26 Licha ya hayo, kati yetu na ninyi kumewekwa shimo kubwa, ili wanaotaka kuja kwenu kutoka huku wasiweze, wala wanaotaka kutoka kwenu kuja kwetu wasiweze.
And in alle these thingis a greet derk place is stablischid betwixe vs and you; that thei that wolen fro hennus passe to you, moun not, nethir fro thennus passe ouer hidur.
27 Huyo aliyekuwa tajiri akasema: Basi baba, nakuomba umtume aende nyumbani kwa baba yangu,
And he seide, Thanne Y preie thee, fadir, that thou sende hym in to the hous of my fadir.
28 maana ninao ndugu watano, ili awaonye wasije wakaja huku kwenye mateso.
For Y haue fyue britheren, that he witnesse to hem, lest also thei come in to this place of turmentis.
29 Lakini Abrahamu akamwambia: Ndugu zako wanao Mose na manabii; waache wawasikilize hao.
And Abraham seide to him, Thei han Moyses and the prophetis; here thei hem.
30 Lakini yeye akasema: Sivyo baba Abrahamu, ila kama mtu atafufuka kutoka wafu na kuwaendea, watatubu.
And he seide, Nay, fadir Abraham, but if ony of deed men go to hem, thei schulen do penaunce.
31 Naye Abrahamu akasema: Kama hawawasikilizi Mose na manabii, hawatajali hata kama mtu angefufuka kutoka wafu.”
And he seide to hym, If thei heren not Moises and prophetis, nethir if ony of deed men rise ayen, thei schulen bileue to hym.
