1 Jisu ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwa minto, “Ho hoka nyitvnv nyi ako dooto nw pakbu go dooto hv ninyigv yikungyira nga kaayataya nvgo. Nyitvnv nyi anga ninyigv ogu rungyanv angv ninyigv morko nga mva dukv vla mintamto,
He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
2 vkvlvgabv nw rungya nvnga arwnglo goklwkto okv minto, ‘Ngo noogv lvkwng nga tvvdunv si ogu gokula? No ngoogv yikungyira nga kaayataya nama vdw godw ogumvnwngnga ngam kaatam lakubv, ogulvgavbolo no vdwloka ngoogv rungyapayanam gubv rinyu kumare.’
He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
3 Pakbu angv nw atu hv minsuto, ‘Ngoogv atu nga ngoogv nokori loka naalin tvduku. Ngo ogu rila kuse gubvri? Ngo dvnam lvgabv rongo ridubv gwlwk doyama, okv giago karse ngaaka yinying yapv.
“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 Vjak ngo chinduku ngo ogugo risedw! Vbvrikunamv vdwlo ngo nokori lokv linre kudw, ngo ajin jinre bunu nga bunugv naam lo alvbv aamure.’
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
5 Vkvlvgabv nw ninyigv atu gvlo dvdu doonv nyi vdwa goklwk toku. Nw atokchogv anga tvvkato, ‘No ngo atu gvlo vkamgu narpvnv?’
Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
6 Nw mirwkto, ‘Olib tvli vkv pumpa lvngo narto,’ ‘Siinv noogv jise ngv,’ rungyanv angv ninyia minto, ‘dootungto okv chamngu go lvkgapto.’
He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
7 Vbvrikunamv nw kvvbi akonyi tvkato, ‘Okv no—vdwgo narpvnv?’ Nw mirwkto, ‘Giu vkv tagiam munv hejar go,’ ‘siinv noogv jise ngv,’ rungyanv ninyia minto; ‘lwngpinv go lvkgapto.’
Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
8 Pakbu mvvlaknv gv Atu hv ninyia vbv rungkup runglik la ridanam lvgabv ninyia hartv toku; ogulvgavbolo nyiamooku so gv nyi vdwv achialvbv bunu rungkup runglik la lounglo rinv nyi vdwa kaiyabv ridu.” (aiōn g165)
“His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 Okv Jisu mimbwngla minto, “Okv vkvlvgabv ngo nonua mindunv: Nonuno atuv nyiamooku so gv yikungyira nga lvkobv ajin jinlaka, vkvlvgabv um vdwlo si topu rikudw, nonua simabv doobwng jiku naam lo alvbv aamu riku. (aiōnios g166)
I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (aiōnios g166)
10 Yvvdw miangnv yikungyira nga alvbv mvnging dubv ridunv hv kainv yikungyira loka achialvbv kaiyabv mvnging dubv ridunv, okv yvvbunudw miangnv yikungyira lo jwkjwkvrwk bv mvngging dubv rima dunv v kainv yikungyira loka jwkjwkvrwkbv mvngging dubv rima dunv.
He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
11 Hv bolo, vbvrikunamv, nonu nyiamooku so gv yikungyira nga alvbv mvnging dubv rinyu mabolo oguaingbv jvjvnv yikungyira nga mvnging dubv rinyure?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 Nonu nyi kvvbi gvbvrinv yikungyira nga mvnging dubv riji mabolo, yvvla no gvbvrinv yikungyira nga nam jijinv?
If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
13 “Pakbuv yvvka atu anyi gv nyirabv rinyu mare; nw akonyi pakre okv akonyi kaanwng mare; nw akonvgv minam a tvvre okv akonvgv nga tvvmare. No Pwknvyarnv nyila morko nga lvkobv rijivngji nyulamare.”
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
14 Vdwlo Parisis vdwv so mvnwng sum tvvtokudw, bunu Jisunyi nyarjito, ogulvgavbolo bunu morko nga mvngbiuto.
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15 Jisu bunua minto, “Nonuno atubongv nyi vdwgv kaagialo jvjv nvgobv minsunv vbvritola Pwknvyarnv nonugv haapok ha chindu, yikungyira vdwv nyi gv lvgabv kainv arv doonv gubv rinv ngv, Pwknvyarnv gvlo ogu arv ka kaama.”
He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted amongst men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 “Moses gv Pvbv okv nyijwk vdwgv lvknam vdwv Jon Baptist gv dw lobv ribwngto; okv ho koching nga Pwknvyarnv gv Karv gv lvkwng Alvnv Yunying nga mintam raptoku, nyi mvnwngngv ho Karv lo aadu bv gwnglilala nyadu.
“The Torah and the Prophets were until Yochanan. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17 Pvbv gv gaam achukguka minggap nama ria jemam svnga nyido gvla kvdw gv nyitv namv nyepu yare.”
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Torah to become void.
18 “Yvv nyi akonv atugv nywng nga toa tokula ako kvvbi nyimvmvvga go nywng mvku bolo hv yoomurnv; okv toanam nyimvmvvga anga yvv nywng mvdunv hvvka yoomurnv.”
“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 “Ho hoka nyi nyitvnv ako dooto nw kainv arv doonv vjia kooto okv achialvbv lokia himpukain la svngminto.
“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 Ho hoka heemanv nyi ako dooto aminv Lajaras, ungvtarv ngv rara nvgo, hum nyitv nyi gv naam agi lo vvpvkinamgo,
A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
21 nyitv nyi gv dvkulo dvala hoolin nama dvpa yare vla mvngnv go. Iki vka aala ninyigv ungngv nga dvriak riakbwngto.”
and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 “Heemanv nyi angv sitoku okv nyidogindung vdwv ninyia gvvtoku Abrahamnyi lvkobv nyidomooku gv dvpam lo doomuto. Nyitv nyi v sitoku okv nyibung riitoku,
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
23 okv uyumooku bolo nw achialvbv hirukaya toku, nw kaadung kunamv adukoyo lo Abraham okv ninyigv lvkobv Lajarasnyi doodubv kaapa toku. (Hadēs g86)
In Sheol, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Vkvlvgabv nw goklin toku, ‘Abu Abraham! nga aya labvka, okv Lajarasnyi ninyigv lakching nga isi lo chibok mogvrila achok godaka ngoogv riu sum chapke molabvka, ogulvgavbolo ngo si vmv arwng si achialvbv hirukaya dvkukv!’
He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
25 Vbvritola Abraham minto, ‘Mvngpa tokuka, ngoogv kuunyilo nga, noogv turla singrilo nam alvnv mvnwngnga jimiro, Lajaras hoka alvmanv mvnwngnga paariato. Vbvritola vjak nw soka atuv himpu pumin dukunv, no hoka hirukaya rikulo.
“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
26 So ogu mvnwng sum kayu tvla, no gvla ngoogv pingko si kairungnv kobung go doodunv, vkvlvgabv yvvdw sokv noogv hoka vngrap dubv ritv nvngv vbv rinyu madunv, vmajeka yvvka noogv hokvkongv ngonugv so linyu madunv.’
Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
27 Nyitvnv nyi angv minto, ‘Vbvrikunamv ngo nam kodwkkrwkla koola mindunv, Abu Abraham, Lajarasnyi ngoogv abu gv naam lo vngmu jilabv,
“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
28 v ngo boru angu go doopvnv. Ninyia vngmula okv bunua gamrw motoka, bunuka so hirukayaku so aama dubv.’
for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
29 Abraham minto, ‘Noogv boru vdwv Mosesnyi okv nyijwk vdwa doogv sudu bunua gamrw nvngv; noogv boru vdwv bunugv ogugo minam a tvvrung svngv.’
“But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30 Nyitvnv nyi hv mirwksito, ‘Hv pwngmare, Abu Abraham! Vbvritola siro kunv nyi gonv turkur laku okv bunua minbolo, vbvrikubolo bunu bunugv rimur lokv linreku.’
“He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31 Vbvritola Abraham minto, ‘Bunu Moses nyila Nyijwk vdwa tvvmabolo, bunua mintap nyulamare sikunv akonv turkur kujvka.’”
“He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
