Luke 16 (BGG) · Opened

1Isu è awai samoythek shii yao, Luang jia shii thiisa hà bukho bran jia shii airo nuruii riig pha khiao jia um. Chiih-è bukho bran jishii yao naro khiao ne bang ne zab mua ramuii ro,Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2ji è aishii iliing hà ho srane yao, na chiang gu è yoi ramuii pha ji nyie lei? Na wad shii ruii yi pha zab nuruiithek gui shii iidoh sasab phi din sha bo, nyieliieshii nane dinne khiao rek mua sapho asi sha ro.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.’

3Khiao ji è awai shii yao, gu ithong è gu shii ne blia è khia muii sha pha rek, gu ne nyie khi-èrek sha gua? Gu ne nyiak hiungthek chog mua sapho gang de oi, chiih-è gu ne chayem than pha de wo muii.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.

4Thiihchiih gu ne thieg sha ge gu ne nyie rek chid! Ji-è gu ro blia yie dun pha iidoh shii gu shii hanyie è ai hò hà ho arone, gu ne jishii ijak rek pha ro.I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5Ji-è ai ithong shii muruii um pha zab branthek shii ho. Ai è Igobi jia shii sai. Na è guro ithong shii khama muruii phi pha um ba lei?And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Ai è chang, sumaro thiiliie yow biig wieng jia phi pha um ba ro. Khiao ji è aishii yao; ichiih shii naro sasab um ro, dug srane nawai siog shii saguii zey mage bo.‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Chiihphado è de ai gai jia shii de sai, chiih-è naro khama phi ba pha um lei? Ai è de chang, phiug thulo itham jia muruii phi pha um ro. Khiao i ji è aishii yao: Naro sasab ichiih shii um ro, wem miliao zey mage bo.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.

8Ji è rek pha chiang shii ithong è khlam pha khiao è khua rek pha ji shii laso phi; nyieliieshii ichiih sohjambling pha branthek ne awaithek blia shii rey yi pha ne sang hà rai phothek è ne khua ba ro.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.

9Chiih-è de Isu è yao, ji è gu nathek shii yao: Nathek sohjambling pha nuruii rog shii nawaithek ijak rab bo, ji è na shii khia muii magunde, na shii idang pha hò hà wie ho ruii phro.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Hanyie magunde ìujia nyie shii migi um arone, ai ne boh shii de migi um ruii phro; hanyie magunde ìujia shii khlam rek arone, ai ne boh shii de khlam rek phro.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.

11Chiihphado è, ithek soh pha nuruii shii rang de isiie è akhoh mua arone, nyie khi-èrek ne ithek shii izai pha nuruii shii khoh yi phlei?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Chiih-è na ne gai ro nyie um pha ji shii rang de isiie arey mua arone, na shii nyie um pha ji ne hanyie è phi mage phlei?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13“Khiao jia è ithong nyi ro blia arek mua phro; ai ne jia shii miie arone jia shii ne amiie phro; ai ne jia shii isiie rek ne jia shii ne isiie arek phro. Nathek ne Hamangkhung-aphuii pha blia nane bang pha blia shii ò arek mua phro.”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.”

14Pharisithek è ji zab yoi mage shii, ithek è Isu shii siakjo mage, nyieliieshii ithek ne bang shii miie.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Isu è ithek shii yao, nathek ne jia ro bran mieg moe shii ne izai chak ro è doh yi, jimagunde Hamangkhung-aphuii ne nathek lubu ne thieg ro. Nathek shii branthek miphi pha boh phua pha ji ne Hamangkhung-aphuii moe shii ne nyie de aphua phro.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“Moses ro Iphey nane chaigthek mizey ji ne Jon Khowo phi pha ishak shii chun ge ro, ji è mujo Hamangkhung-aphuii pha Sajathua pha Mua Wie ji yao ramuii ro, chiih-è zab gang è ji pha bucho shii khud ramuii.”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.

17Jishii Hamangkhung nane sohnyiak san dun magunde, Iphey pha ìu miyao ji ne san pha ne diig phro.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.

18Bran hanyie magunde awai yiy shii thoh srane gai hò-amuii shii yie arone ai ne siulao rek phro; Chiih-è hò-aphuii è de gey thoh muii pha hò-amuii shii yie arone ai de siulao rek phro.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19“Luang jia thiisa hà bukho bran jia yi yung de bajo igong um pha yungthek guii srane nai tham ne bajo sang ne rai.”Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Thiisa hà Lazaras beng pha hìa è kheg muii pha dusho bran de jia um, aishii ji pha bukho bran habin moe shii noh ne ruii,And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21bukho thiibliie lakhung è idum chiih ruii pha ji chie pha luthong, choi rang de ai hìa jishii liak wuii.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22Dusho bran ji iy dun shii chiih-è hamangkhliiethek è noh srane Hamangkhung hà Abraham laluii shii dug ba yi. Bukho bran ji de iy ne wieng muii,One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23chiih-è thumuluii ai ne bajo riie pha thumluii bucho hà, ai è laziung hà riig shii bajo ruang hà lazaras yi Abraham laluii shii um pha doh.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24Ji-è ai è ho mage, Aphuii Abraham! Gu shii de bushun rek bo chiih-è Lazaras shii thoh ge srane ai wad jiu è kho shii wo srane gu ri shii chen ne chei rek yi bo, nyieliieshii gu ne hì pha bai è bajo shud muii ro!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“Jishii Abraham è yao, ‘Now mage bo’ Gu dufuii, na sieng pha iidoh shii ne zab pha wie muna ne na shii phijong ro, ji pha ishak shii awie pha muna ne zab Lazaras shii phi. Jishii ai ne thuh shii ichiih lubo rek ramuii ro, nane hì pha ishak shii riie ramuii ro.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.

26Jithek rey magunde, thiisa hà gethek duchoi shii ne Jam ihiung um ro, ji è hanyie è thawin hiia ne isa wuii yang magunde awuii mua phro, ji è gathek è thiwing ithek moe hà wuii yang magunde awuii mua phro.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.’

27Bukho bran ji è yao, chiihphado gu na shii wadkhung, aphuii Abraham, Lazarus shii gu khi hà guro khuiino guii um pha guro aphuii hò hà thoh ge bo.‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28Aishii wuii ge yi ne ithek shii phriie srane, hì è diig ne riie pha ithua shii adun yi rabo.for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29Abraham è yao, naro khuiinothek shii ne Moses nane chaigphothek phriie phro; ji è na khuiinothek ne ithek è nyie yao pha ji nuii yi bo.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30Bukho bran ji è chang, ‘Ji è ne acho ba ro, aphuii Abraham! Jishii i-iy è hòi srane ithek shii wuii arone, chiihphado ithek ne awai mirek pha layog è khid ruii phro.’‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31Jishii Abraham è yao, ‘Ithek è Moses nane chaigphothek shii rang de anuii arone, ithek ne iy ne hòi ne wuii pha ji shii de anuii phro.’ ”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.’”
