Luuka 16
1 uYesu akavavula avavulanisivua vake, “palyale nu muunhu jumonga m'mofu alyale nu m'baha mu mbombo jake,
And he spoke a parable to his disciples. There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and accusations were brought to him of him, that he squandered his property.
2 pe vakampela umm imhola sa m'baha jula kuuti, um'bombi ghwako um'baha itaghania ifyuma fyako. pe ummo akan'kemela akam'bula akati, “kwe kiliku ulyuve kino nipulika? humia imhola ija vuvaha vwako, ulwakuva nungave m'baha kange mu mbombo jango.
And his lord called him, and said to him: What is this that I hear of thee? Render to me an account of thy stewardship; for thou canst no longer be my steward.
3 um'baha jula akijovela mu mwoojo ghwake, nivombe kiki, ulwakuva untwa ghwango ikunivusia mu mbombo jango ija vuvaha? nisila ngufu sa kulima, na kusuma nivona soni.
And the steward said with himself: What shall I do, since my lord is about to take from me the stewardship? To dig, I am unable; and to become a beggar, I am ashamed.
4 nikagula lino kyale nivomba kyande vanivusisie mu mbombo jango ja kwimilila avaanhu vanyupile mu nyuma save.
I know what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
5 pe pano umweimilili jula akavakemhela voni vano visighilua nu ntwa ghwake akam'bula ughwa kwanda, 'ghusighilua ilingi nu ntwa ghwango?'
And he called each one of his lord's debtors; and he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 akati, 'fighelelo kilundo fya mafuta akam'bula,' tola ilikalataasi lyako ng'ani ng'ani lemba ifijigho fihaano,
And he said to him, One hundred measures of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write Fifty measures.
7 pe akam'bula ujunge najuve ghusighilua ilingi? akati, 'ifighelelo kilundo kimo ifya vutine vwa ngano'. tola ilikalataasi lyako, lemba ifijigho lekela kwoni'.
And he said to another: And how much owest thou to my lord? And he said to him, One hundred cors of wheat. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down, and write Eighty cors.
8 untwa jula akamughinia um'baha jula ulakuva alyavombile nu vukagusi. ulwakuva avaanha va pa iisi iji vali nuvukagusi vyinga kukila avaanha va Nguluve. (aiōn g165)
And our Lord praised the unrighteous steward, for having acted sagaciously: for the children of this world are more sagacious than the children of light, in this their generation. (aiōn g165)
9 lino une nikuvavula kuuti, muvatangaghe avajinu ni kyuma kino mulinakyo, neke kyande kisilile, mwupilue ku vukalo vwa kusila na kusila. (aiōnios g166)
And I also say to you: Make to yourselves friends, with this unrighteous mammon; so that when it is finished, they may receive you to their everlasting tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
10 juno mugholofu mu lidebe kyongo iva mugholofu na mulikome. ghwope juno namugholofu mu lidebe naiva mugholofu na mulikome kange.
He that is faithful in the little, is also faithful in the much; and he that is unjust in the little, is also unjust in the much.
11 nave umue namulyale vagholofu mu kyuma kino na kyakyangani pe ghwevene juno ikuvitika ku kyuma ikya lweli?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the reality?
12 kange nave namulyale vagholofu kutumila ikyuma kya muunhu junge, ghweveni juno ikuvapela sino sinu jumue?
And if ye have not been found faithful in that which is not yours, who will give to you that which is yours?
13 nakwale um'bombi juno ikuvavombela avatwa vavili, ulwakuva ghukunkalalilagha jumo na kumughana ujunge, nambe kukolana nuju na kum'benapula uju. nungawesie kukum'bombela uNguluve ni kyuma.
There is no servant, who can serve two lords. For, either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will honor the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 pe avafarisayi, vano valyale vinoghua indalama ye vapulike aghuo ghoni vakam'benafula.
And the Pharisees, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.
15 kange akavavula, “umue mwemwemu mukuvona hwene vanya kyang'ani pa maaso gha vaanhu, neke UNguluve akagwile amoojo ghinu. ulwakuva lino lyimike kwa muunhu liva ng'alasi pa maaso ghwa Nguluve.
And Jesus said to them: Ye are such as justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your heart: for that which is exalted among men, is abominable before God.
16 indaghilo na vavili pwefilyale kuhanga uYohani panoa akisile. kuhuma unsiki ughuo, imhola inofu ja vutwa vwa Nguluve jikapulisivue, nu muunhu ghweni ighela kukwingila ku ngufu.
The law and the prophets were until John: since then, the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and every one presseth it to enter in.
17 neke kihugu ku kyanya ni iisi fivuke kuliko ililembe limo lya ndaghilo likosekane.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one letter to pass from the law.
18 ghweni juno ikumuleka un'dala ghwake na kun'toola un'dala ujunge ivwafuka, ghwope juno ikun'toola juno alekilue numughosi ghwake ivwafuka.
Whoever putteth away his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and whoever taketh her that is put away, committeth adultery.
19 palyale nu mmofu jumonga alyafwalile amhenda aghanya sambalau na gha ndalama akale ihovokela uvumofu vwake uvukome.
And there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in fine linen and scarlet, and passed every day in splendid luxury.
20 nu nkotofu jumonga ilitavua lyake Lasali vakam'biki pa mulyango ghwa kunji kwa mofu jula, alyale ni fikongo.
And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Lazarus; and he was laid at the gate of the rich man, smitten with ulcers.
21 ghwope akinoghelua kulia ikyakulia kino kikaghwisagha pasi pa mofu jula nasi mbua sikisa sikamumyanga ifikong'o fyake.
And he desired to fill his belly with the fragments that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs also came and licked his ulcers.
22 jikava unkotofu jula akafua, avanyaMhola vakantola kuhanga pakifuva pa Abulahamu. ummofu jula ghwope akafua akasyulua.
And so it was, that the poor man died; and angels transported him to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
23 ye alyale mumuko kuvulungu kula akadindula amaaso ghake akamwagha uAbulahamu kuvutali ali nu Lasali pakifuva kyake. (Hadēs g86)
And being tormented in hell, he raised his eyes from afar off, and saw Abraham, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 akalila akati, 'baba Abulahamu, nisaghile un'sung'e u Lasali asase ulwove lwake mumalenga, alunoghelesie ululimi lwango; ulwakuva nipumusivua mu mwoto ughu.
And he called with a loud voice, and said: Abraham, my father, have pity on me; and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and moisten my tongue; for, lo, I am tormented in this flame.
25 neke uAbulahamu akati, 'mwanago kumbuka kuuti mu vwumi vwako ukupile isako sino nono, nu Lasali vule vule alyapatile inyivi. neke lino alyapa uhuvilisivua, najuve ghupumusivua.
And Abraham said to him: My son, remember, that thou receivedst thy good things in thy lifetime, and Lazarus his evil things: and now, behold he is here at rest, and thou art tormented.
26 na kukila aghuo, kuvikilie ilina ilikome pakate jitu kuuti vano vilonda kuluta kulyumue vakunuaghe na vaanhu va kulyumue navangalovokaghe kukwisa kulyusue'
And with all these, there is a great barrier between us and you; so that they who would pass from here to you, cannot; neither can they pass from there to us
27 umofu jula akati, 'nisuuma baba Abulahamu kuuti unsung'e ku nyumba kwa baba ghwango.
He said to him: I pray thee, therefore, my father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house;
28 ulwakuva nili navanyalukolo vahano neke avavunge na veene ku vwoghofi piti vope vilikwisa pa mhumhuko apa.
for I have five brothers; that he may go and protest to them; lest they also come to this place of torment.
29 neke uAbulahamu akati, 'kwale uMoose na vavili, valeke vavapulikisie vavuo.
Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 umofu jula akati, 'Ndali, baba Abulamahu, neke nave angalute umuunhu juno ahumile kuvafue vilaata,
But he said to him: No, my father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 neke uAbulahamu akam'bula akati, 'ndeve navikuvapulikisia uMoose na vavili navangampulikisie nambe umuunhu angasyuke kuhuma kuvafue.
Abraham said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not believe, though one should rise from the dead.
