Luke 16 (HAW1868)

1A OLELO mai la o Iesu i kana mau haumana, O kekahi kanaka waiwai he puuku kana; a ua haiia ia ia na puuku la i kona hokai ana i kana waiwai.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2A kii aku la oia ia ia, i aku la ia ia, Heaha keia a'u i lohe iho nei ia oe? E hoike mai oe i kou malama ana, no ka mea, aole oe e puuku hou aku.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.’

3I iho la ka puuku ia ia iho, Pehea la wau e hana'i? No ka mea, e lawo ana kuu haku i ka puuku mai o'u aku nei; aole hiki ia'u ke mahi, a hilahila no wau i ko noi.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.

4Ua ike au i ka'u mea e hana aku ai, i hookipa kokahi poe ia'u i ko lakou mau hale, i ka wa e hemo aku ai ko'u puuku.I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5A kii aku la ia i kela mea aie keia mea aie a kona haku, ninau aku la oia i kekahi, Pehea ka nui o kau aie i kuu haku?And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Hai mai la hoi ia, Hookahi haneri bato aila. A i aku la oia ia ia, E lawe oe i kau palapala, a noho koke iho oe e kakau i kanalima.‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Alaila ninau aku la oia i kekahi, Pehea la ka nui o kau aie? A hai mai la ia, Hookahi haneri homera hua palaoa. I aku la hoi oia ia ia, E lawe i kau palapala, a e kakau iho i kanawalu.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.

8A mahalo iho la ua haku la i ka puuku pono ole, no kana hana akamai ana. Oia hoi, ua oi aku ke akamai o na keiki o neia ao i ka lakou hanauna mamua o ko na keiki o ka malamalama.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.

9Ke olelo aku nei no hoi au ia oukou, Me ka waiwai oiaio ole, e hoomakamaka ai oukou i mau makamaka no oukou, i hookipa lakou ia oukou iloko o na hale pau ole, i ka wa e haule ai oukou.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10O ka mea i malama pono i ka mea uuku, oia ke malama pono i ka mea nui; a o ka mea i hana hewa ma ka mea uuku, oia hoi ke hana hewa ma ka mea nui.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.

11Nolaila, ina i ole oukou e malama pono i ka waiwai oiaio ole, nawai la e waiho ia oukou i ka waiwai oiaio?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12A ina i ole oukou i malama pono i ka hai waiwai, nawai la hoi e haawi i waiwai na oukou ponoi?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13Aohe kauwa e hiki ke hookauwa na na haku elua; no ka mea, e hoowahawaha oia i kekahi me ka makemake i kekahi, a i ole ia, e hahai aku ia i kela, me ka haalele i keia. Aole hoi e hiki ia oukou ke hookauwa na ke Akua a me ka mamona.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.”

14A lohe ae la na Parisaio ka poe puni waiwai i keia mau mea, henehene iho la lakou ia ia.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15I mai la oia ia lakou, O oukou ka poe e hoopono ia oukou iho imua o na kanaka; aka, ua ike mai ke Akua i ko oukou mau naau, no ka mea, o kahi mea nani i kanaka, he ino ia imua o ke Akua.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.

16E mau mai ana ke kanawai a me ka poe kaula a hiki ia Ioane; a mai ia manawa mai, ua haiia'ku ke aupuni o ke Akua, a ma ka hoikaika loa, e komo ai na mea a pau.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.

17E lilo ka lani a me ka honua mamua o ka haule ana o kekahi huna o ke kanawai.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.

18O ka mea i hoohemo i kana wahine, a e mare aku hoi i kekahi, oia ke moe kolohe. A o ka mea i mare i ka wahine i hoohemoia, oia ke moe kolohe.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19O kekahi kanaka waiwai ua aahuia i ka lole makue a me ka ie nani, ua ahaaina olioli ia i kela la i keia la.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20A o kekahi kanaka ilihune, o Lazaro kona inoa, ua waihoia aku la ia ma kona ipuka, ua paapu i na mai hehe;And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21E ake ia e hanaiia mai i na hunahuna i haule mai luna iho o ka papaaina o ua kauaka waiwai la. A hele mai hoi na ilio a palu iho la i kona mau mai.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22Eia hoi kekahi, make aku la ia kanaka ilihune, a laweia aku la oia e na anela ma ka poli o Aberahama; a make aku la hoi ua kanaka waiwai la, a kanuia iho la.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23A maloko o ka no oia i nana aku ai, me ka eha nui, ike aku la ia Aberahama i kahi loihi aku a me Lazaro ma kona poli;In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24A kahea aku la ia, i aku la, E ka makua, e Aberahama, e aloha mai oe ia'u, a e hoouna mai ia Lazaro e o iho ia i ka welau o kona manamana lima iloko o ka wai, a e hoomaalili mai i ko'u alelo; no ka mea, ua eha loa au iloko o keia lapalapa.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.’

25Alaila i mai la o Aberahama, E ke keiki, e hoomanao oe, ua loaa ia oe kau mau mea maikai i kou wa e ola ana; a ia Lazaro hoi na mea ino. Ano hoi ua hooluoluia oia nei, a ua hoehaehaia hoi oe.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.

26A he mea e ae no hoi, ua waihoia mai he awawa nui iwaena o makou a me oukou, i ole ai e hiki ka poe o manao ana e hele aku mai keia wahi aku io oukou la; ao ko laila poe aole e hiki ke hele mai io makou nei.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.’

27I aku la hoi oia, Nolaila ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e ka makua, o hoouna oe ia ia i ka halo o ko'u makuakane;‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28No ka mea, ho mau hoahanau kano ko'u elima, e ao aku oia ia lakou, o hiki mai lakou i keia wahi eha.for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29I mai la o Aberahama ia ia. Aia no hoi ia lakou o Moso a me ka poe kaula, i lohe lakou ia mau mea.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30A i aku la oia, Aole, e ka makua, o Aberahama; aka, ina e hele aku kekahi mai waena aku o ka poe make, e mihi no lakou.‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31I mai la hoi oia ia ia, Ina i lohe ole lakou ia Mose a me ka poe kaula, aole no lakou e hoohuliia ke ala hou kekahi mai waena aku o ka poe make.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.’”
