1. 1ASJJiso tuu tee li bɔɔŋ bee bɛ kintutu-u le, “Wi wu biee wumu tɛ̀ kɛmi ŋwani wu nimɛ wu tɛ̀ gɛɛ le ni bichi lɛ biee biee li. Tɛ̀ dza woo le ŋwaŋ wu nimɛ wulu bifisɔɔ kwa wee,BSBBSB: Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
2. 2ASJse teeŋ ŋwani wu nimɛ wulu bii li wuu laa, ‘Fiee fi ŋwuki kii wɛ fini nuuŋ la? Banchɛ biŋwaati bichu bi ɔ tsɛki kwa wɛŋ le ɔ bɛ bɛ bi. Kifɛ ɔ mɛɛŋ yɛ le ɔ ni ɔ nindi li mi-i kɛ.’BSBBSB: So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’
3. 3ASJŊwaŋ wu nimɛ wɛ gɛɛŋ shee beechɛ li yi yee li le, ‘Si te kikoo wɛŋ gii buu mi li nimɛ-ɛ lɛ, ɛ la fi ŋgii ŋge? Si ŋkɛmi yɛ buŋga bu nimɛ bɛ jii kɛ, ntuu nuuŋ tɛ bɛ buya bu munlɛɛkɔɔ lɛ ni.’BSBBSB: The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my position? I am too weak to dig and too ashamed to beg.
4. 4ASJSe tuu dza beechɛ le, ‘Mi ŋkɛɛɔ fiee fi ŋgii mfɛ mfi wu bɛ buu mi li nimɛ-ɛ. Ŋgii ŋkɛmɛ nsáŋ yi gii yi ni yi fii mi li yíh yi bee.’BSBBSB: I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
5. 5ASJSe biee teeŋ bɛniiŋ bɛ tɛ kɛmi fíɔɔ yi te kikoo we mumkpaŋ mumkpaŋ. Le wu ŋkosi bɛ, bii li wuu laa, ‘Ɔ kɛmi te Kikoo wɛŋ kwa kimɛ?’BSBBSB: And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
6. 6ASJMwɛ tuu le, ‘Biginu bi mɛɛŋ lɛ bi nɔŋa bi nɔŋa gwii.’ Se tee le, ‘Kɔ kiŋwaati ko ki fiɔɔ lɛ kini ɔ shee fɛkwiiŋ tsɛkɛtsɛkɛ ɔ fiiki ɔ tsɛɛ le mbaanshiŋ.’BSBBSB: ‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
7. 7ASJSe tuu kaari bii li wumu le, ‘Ɔ kɛmi ya niŋ?’ Se mwɛ tuu le, ‘Ɛ bɛbabi bɛ giiŋ lɛ gwii.’ Se tee le, ‘Kɔ kiŋwaati ko ki fiɔɔ lɛ kini ɔ fiiki ɔ tsɛɛ le bɛbabi gwii nyaaŋ.’BSBBSB: Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your bill and write eighty,’ he told him.
8. 8ASJLe te kikoo wu ŋwanɛ nimɛ wɛ ŋɛŋ si wu fiiri wu lɛ, tuu pia wu ŋge li kimfi kee li.” Jiso se mɛɛshi tee le, “Bɛniiŋ bɛ laaŋkwiiŋ kɛmi baa bufii bu fɛrɛ biee bi bee, yɛki si bɛniiŋ bɛ li kiŋ'wofu ti feti bi bee biee bi kiŋ'wofu-u.BSBBSB: The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the sons of light.
9. 9ASJNse ntiitɔɔ li be-eŋ le, nɛ dzɔɔ biee binɛ bi laaŋkwiiŋ nɛ kɔɔ nsáŋ lu, ke mfi wu bi ma, Nyɔ se fi beŋ li wuu yih fɛ nɛ gii nɛ ni nɛ nuuŋ mfi kwi.BSBBSB: I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.
10. 10ASJWi wu kii mbichɛ lɛ fiee fi niiŋ li bujɔŋ, kɛ nuuŋ kɛɛ mbichɛ lɛ fi nɔŋa-a. Wi wu feti kimfi li fiee fi niiŋ li, kɛ gii fɛ tɛ li fiee fi nɔŋa-a.BSBBSB: Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
11. 11ASJƐ nɛ nuuŋ tɛ kɛɛ mbichɛ lɛ biee bi laaŋkwiiŋ bini-i bujɔŋ kɛ, ɛ noo wu gii se nyɛ beŋ biee bi chɛɛŋ?BSBBSB: So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
12. 12ASJƐ nɛ kii yɛ mbichɛ lɛ fiee fi wumu-u bujɔŋ kɛ, ɛ noo wu gii se nyɛ tɛ beŋ binɛ?BSBBSB: And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

Nuuŋ nɛ tɛ niŋ li Nyɔ-ɔ, le nɛ tuu nɛ niŋ li kwa-a kɛ.”BSBBSB: No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
14. 14ASJLe Jiso yɔ lɛ, Bɛfarasii woo fiee fichu be dza be yɛndi wu, kifɛ be tɛ kɔŋgisi kwa ŋge.BSBBSB: The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
15. 15ASJJiso se tee li bee le, “Ɛ nɛɛ beŋ nɛ feti yi le nɛ ni nɛ nuuŋ bɛniiŋ bɛ dzeeŋ limfwe li bɛniiŋ li, se nuuŋ le, Nyɔ kii yɛ biee bichu bi nuuŋ li shéŋ yinɛ. Nɛ ni nɛ kii le biee bi bɛniiŋ piɛti le ɛ bi dzeeŋ ŋge, ɛ bi bi Nyɔ bichi le ɛ biee bi bɛndi yi.”BSBBSB: So He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is prized among men is detestable before God.
16. 16ASJJiso tuu tee le, “Tɛ nuuŋ ŋkosi bɛ tiifi nuuŋ bɛnchi bɛ Mɔɔsɛ-ɛ bɛ biee bi bɛntomfɔŋ bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ tɛ̀ tsɛki. Se nuuŋ le, mbɛɛchɛ si Jɔɔŋ tɛ̀ bɛ, bɛ tɛ̀ to bɛ tiifi nuuŋ ntoŋ wu dzeeŋ wu kii bumfɔŋ bu Nyɔ-ɔ. Wi kwikwi gweninɔɔ le bɛ lɛ lɛnti lɛ bumfɔŋ bu Nyɔ-ɔ tɛ.BSBBSB: The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17. 17ASJFi nuuŋ tsɛkɛ fɛ kiboo bee nshɛ nuuŋ bi ma, yɛki fɛ biooŋ yi lɛ kiŋwaati ki bɛnchi bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ nuuŋ yi la li yee li.BSBBSB: But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.
18. 18ASJFi se fiɛɛ le, ɛ wi kooŋ bɛ kwɛsi, wu dzɔ wumu, kɛ wu giŋɔ bɛ kwɛɛ wi. Wi wu dzɔ kwɛɛŋ wu bo li wumu-u, kɛ mwɛ giŋɔ tɛ bɛ kwɛɛ wi.”BSBBSB: Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
19. 19ASJJiso se dza tee le, “Wi wu biee wumu tɛ̀ nuuŋ lu, chumini ndú yi dzeeŋ yi tɛɛmi kwa, tsiiŋ ntsɛ wu shaaŋ jo chichi.BSBBSB: Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
20. 20ASJWi wu kifoo wumu tɛ nuuŋ lu, bukooŋ le Lasɔrɔ. Ɛ bikɔti tɛ ji wu bwiŋ kichu. Bɛ tɛ̀ giiki wu fɛ wi wu biee wɛ mfweeŋ,BSBBSB: And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores
21. 21ASJtɛŋgi le gii ni bɔɔnyi jii fɛ biee bi weyi fɛ kideŋ ki wi wu biee wɛɛ. Si tɛ̀ gimi fe lɛ, bwí tɛ̀ tuu yi bɛɛ yi mɛrisi yi lachi bikɔti biee biɛɛ.BSBBSB: and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22. 22ASJLe ni nuuŋ mfi wumu, wi wu kifoo wulu kwi, bɛnchindaa bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ too wu be gɛɛŋ be gɛɛ wu fɛ kintsii ki dzeeŋ li, li Abrahaŋ lichiŋ. Wi wu biee wɛ kwi tɛ bɛ diyɛ wu.BSBBSB: One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23. 23ASJGɛɛŋ nuuŋ li kwɛɛŋ wu biŋkwi-i, nuuŋ fe li ŋgɛ wu nyɔŋa-a. Le dza lɔŋ lii, ŋɛŋ Abrahaŋ mfiiŋ bɛ Lasɔrɔ li wuu lichiŋ.BSBBSB: In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.
24. 24ASJTeeŋ le, ‘Taa Abrahaŋ, kɔɔ nshiiŋ bɛ mi ɔ tuumi Lasɔrɔ lii kwaŋ li dzɔɔ li, bɛ deeni nimi cheŋ lu. Ŋ'wukɔɔ ntɔnyɛ wu nyɔŋa li wi wuni-i.’BSBBSB: So he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. For I am in agony in this fire.’
25. 25ASJAbrahaŋ tuu li wuu le, ‘Ŋwaanɛŋ, kimi mfi wɔɔ tɛ mɛɛŋ ɔ tsiiŋ li nshɛ-ɛ. Ɔ tɛ̀ kɛmi biee bi dzeeŋ bichu mfi wɛ, Lasɔrɔ ŋiŋgi fiee nuuŋ ŋgɛ. Dɛɛni, Lasɔrɔ wɛ li bujɔɔŋ li, ɔ nuuŋ li ntɔnyɛ.BSBBSB: But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.
26. 26ASJƐ fini kwaa kɛ. Ɔ kɛɛ le foŋɛ chi nɔŋa chi bɛ nachɛ chɛɛ tɛɛbeŋ nti le kiiŋ wi ni dza lani dansɛ bɛ fɔɔ nuuŋ fɛɛ kɛ, se nuuŋ nɛɛ tɛ wi tɛ dza fɔɔ nuuŋ fɛɛ le dansɛ bɛ lani kɛ.’BSBBSB: And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’
27. 27ASJSe wi wu biee wɛ tuu lɛkɛ le, ‘Mintemii taa, tuumi Lasɔrɔ fɛ besɛ kuuŋ.BSBBSB: ‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,
28. 28ASJŊkɛmɔɔ bɛŋwaanɛŋ bɛtiinu, gɛɛŋ chiinsɛ li bee le kiiŋ be ni naa be bɛ tɛ fɛ kintsii ki ŋgɛ kini kɛ.’BSBBSB: for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
29. 29ASJAbrahaŋ se tuu le, ‘Bɛ ŋwaana bɛlu kɛmi baa biŋwaati bi bɛnchi bɛ Mɔɔsɛ tɛ̀ tsɛɛ bɛ bi bɛntomfɔŋ bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ tɛ̀ tsɛɛ, be ni be wuki fiee fi bi tiiti.’BSBBSB: But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
30. 30ASJWi wu biee wɛ faaŋ tee le, ‘Aay, Taa Abrahaŋ, bee nuuŋ le wumu bo li kwe-e gɛɛŋ ni tiifi be, be se woo, be fiiki shéŋ yibe.’BSBBSB: ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31. 31ASJAbrahaŋ se tuu li wuu le, ‘Ɛ be faaŋ le be wuki yɛ fiee fi Mɔɔsɛ bee bɛntomfɔŋ bɛ Nyɔ-ɔ tiiti kɛ, be tɛ naa woo mɔɔ nuuŋ fiee fi wi wu bo li kwe-e tiiti kɛ.’”BSBBSB: Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
