Luke 16 (AWK) · Opened

1ĠATUN noa wiya barun ġikoúmba wirrobullikan, Untoa ta tarai ta wakȧl kúri tullokan porrólkan, mankillan piriwȧl ġikoúmba; ġatun wiyayéma bon ġikouġ wareka noa ġikoúmba tullokan.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Ġatun noa wiya bon, wiyelliela, Yakoa baġ ġurra ġirouġ kinba? wiyella bi tia minariġ bi ba umulliela; keawai bi kara kȧnún umullikan.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.’

3Wiyelléu̇n ġaiya noa mankillikan niuwoabo, Minnuġ, banu̇n baġ? kulla wal lia piriwȧllo emmoúmba ko mantilléún keawai bag mankillikan kȧnu̇n; keawai baġ pinninu̇n; koiyun baġ poiyelliko.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.

4Ġali wal baġ umulliko, yipanu̇n tia ba emmoúmba mankilliġél labiruġ, wamunbi-uwil koa tia bara kóti ko kokerá ko.I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5Yanti ba wiya noa barun wiyatoara piriwȧl koba ġikoúmba, ġatun noa wiya wakȧl kurri-kurri ka, Minnan ba wiyapaiyéu̇n emmoúmba piriwȧl koba?And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Ġatun noa wiya, Hekaton ta wimbi ka karauwa. Ġatun noa wiya bon, Mara bi unni, yellawa kurrakai, upulla pentékonta koa ka-uwil.‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Wiya ġaiya noa tarai, Minnan bi wiyapaiyéu̇n piriwȧl koba? Ġatun noa wiyá, Hekaton ta wimbi wiet. Ġatun bon noa wiyá, Mara bi unni, upulla éty koa ka-uwil.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.

8Ġatun noa piriwallo murrȧrȧġ bon wiya unnoa mankillikan yarakai ka, kulla noa umá ġurakito; kulla bara wonnai tara unti ko purrai tako barúnba willuġġél koba ġuraki bara, keawai bara wonnai kaibuġ koba.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.

9Ġatun ġatoa nurun wiyan, Umulla nura bo kótita kakilliko tullo-yarakai tabiruġ; tetti nura ba kȧnu̇n, wamunbilla ġaiya nurun kokerá yuraki ba kȧtan yanti-katai.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Niuwoa miroman ġali waréa ta, yanti miroman noa kauwȧl ġali ta; ġatun niuwoa yarakai-maye ġali waréa ta, yanti yarakaimaye ġali kauwȧl ta.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.

11Yaki tin keawai nura ba miroma pa tullo yarakai ta, ġanto wal nurun ġunu̇n tullo tuloa ta miromulliko?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Ġatun keawai nura ba miroma pa tarai koba, ġanto wal ġunu̇n nurúnba kóti tako?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13Keawai wal mankillikanto umȧnu̇n buloara-bulun piriwȧl bula; kulla noa yarakai umȧnu̇n wakȧl bon, ġatun murrȧrȧġ umȧnu̇n tarai; ġa ba kȧnu̇n noa wakálla, ġatun béelmȧnu̇n bon tarai. Keawai nura kaiyu korien umulliko Eloi ko ġatun tullokan ko yarakai ko.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.”

14Ġatun unni tara bara ġurra Parithaioiko, willirrikan bara kȧtan, ġatun bon bara béelma.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Ġatun noa barun wiyá, Kauwa murrȧrȧġ koa nura ka-uwil mikan ta barun kin ku̇ri ka; wonto noa ba Eloito ġurran nurúnba búlbúl la ba; kulla unni tara murrȧrȧġ ta kȧtan barun kinba kȧri ko, yakaran ta kȧtan mikan ta Eloi kin.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.

16Wiyellikanne-ta ġatun bara propet kakulla loanne noa ba paipéa; yaki tabiruġ piriȧl koba Eloi koba wiyabunbéa,ġatun yantin ku̇ri waita-waitawolléu̇n murruġ kolaġ.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.

17Ġatun moroko ta ġatun purrai ta kaiyukan kánu̇n waita kolaġ, keawai waréa ta wiyellikanne koba ka korien kakilliko.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.

18Ġanto ba warekullinún porikunbai ġikouúmba ġatun tarai búmbéa ka, yarakai bu̇mbéa noa: ġatun ġanto ba buúmbinu̇n warekatoara poribal tabiruġ, yarakai búmbéa noa.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19Kakulla ta noa wakȧl porrólkan, upulléún noa ġoroġ-ġoroġ ko ġatun murrȧrȧġ ko kariġkareuġ ko, ġatun bon kakulla minnuġbo-minnuġbo kauwȧl takilliko ġatun pittelliko yantin ta pureȧġ ka:Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Ġatun kakulla ta wakȧl poiyaye ġiakai yitirra Ladharo, wúnkulla bon ba yapugġġél ġikouġ ka ta, warapál mita-mitaġ,And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Ġatun wiya bon ba mutuġ ko takilliko ġikouġ kai porroólbin tin takilliġél labiruġ; ġatun warikȧl uwa bara, woatȧ ġaiya bon mita-mitaġ.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22Yakita-kȧlai tetti kakulla poiyaye, ġatun kurriá bara bon aġelo-ko Abȧram kinko parraġ kako: tetti ġaiya noa porrólkan kakulla, ġatun bon núlká.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Ġatun noa unta koiyuġ ka hell ka bouġkulléún ġikoúmba ġaikuġ, kakilliela tirriki ka, ġatun nakilliela bon Abȧramnuġ kaloġ ka, ġatun noa Ladharo parraġ ka kakilliela Abȧram kin.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24Ġatun noa kaaibulléu̇n, wiyelliela, Biyuġ Abȧram, ġurrara tia kauwa, ġatun yukulla bon Ladharonuġ, kurrimulli koa noa kokoin to, ġatun moiya koa tia tȧllȧġ wupi-uwil; kulla wal baġ kirrin kȧtan unti tirriki ka koiyuġ ka.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.’

25Wonto noa ba Abaramko wiyá, Yinal, ġurrulla ġintoa yakita moron ta mantala murrȧrȧġ-tai ġiroúmba, wonto noa ba Ladharo yakaran mantala ġatun noa yakita pitȧl kȧtan, wonto bi ba kirrin kȧtan.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.

26Ġatun yanti umni ba, ġearun kinba willika ba pirriko wún-kulla; keawai uwȧnu̇n untikȧl untoa kolaġ: keawai bara unta biruġ, uwȧnu̇n untiko ġearun kinko.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.’

27Wiya ġaiya noa, Wiyan banuġ, Biyuġ, yuka-uwil koa bon bintun kinko kokerá kolaġ:‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28Kulla wal lia emmoúmba kotita pente; wiya-uwil koa noa barun yanoa bara ba tanan uwánún unti kolaġ tirriki-tirriki kako.for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29Abȧramko noa wiya bon, Mothé noa ġatun bara propet barun katoa ba; ġurrabunbilla barun.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30Ġatun noa wiyá, Keawaran, biyuġ Abȧram; wakȧl ba uwolla barun kin unta biruġ tetti kabiruġ,ġurrȧnu̇n ġaiya wal bara.‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31Ġatun noa bon wiyá, Keawai bara ba ġurrȧnu̇n bon Mothénuġ ġatun barun propetnuġ; keawai wal bara ġurrȧnu̇n wakȧl ba paikullinún moron tetti kabiruġ.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.’”
