Luke 16 (HWO) · Opened

1Ndangga Yeeso fatsahayighǝn, “ˈWad tǝ ƙǝna naarha sǝ na fiya a kiki mamnda tǝ targhǝn fa tǝ ndaarha nǝghǝn a sǝɓang ƙǝnaghǝn ɗǝ.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Aagha tǝ ƙǝnaɗi tǝ tarɗi keeghǝn tsahang mee nǝn, ‘Path ma niya sǝkrha atenwa? Fǝre kirassa tarwa ǝna nana, ƙǝsǝr mba nggǝr tsaurha mamnda tǝ tarna ɓalwa.’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.’

3Ndangga mamnda tǝ tarɗi altenggǝn, ‘Mani ǝnaarha nanǝnya? Kulo na turina a rǝk nggi ahu tarna. Nggi mbiyi kanglang na a huɗee wa, kee hu hwanda hai nǝn shiɗeerha.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.

4Sǝnɗi ˈya niya ǝnaarha, a ƙǝɗen nda hai ma tarna tǝna fiya thlǝ nggi fa ahur mindǝndan.’”I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5“Tǝrgha aah fa kumaya turighǝnǝn tǝtal, tǝtal. Tsahang mee nǝn yi tal, ‘Kurmi na turina a takkwa sa kumarha?’”And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Ndanggǝn, “Fǝɗeerha ƙǝthlikrha haru uvaɗa.” Ndangga mamnda tǝ tarɗi, “Thlu ɗeleewar, tsawu hai ƙǝkar, chirethlengga hai haru faɗa.”‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Tǝrgha tsahang mee nǝn yi sǝri, ndanggǝn, “Kumarha kurmi a harwa?” Ndanggǝn, “‘Yawarha haru kum yi wan hwalirha.’” Ndanggǝn, “Thlu ɗeleewar chirethlengga hai haru uvaɗa.”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“Turiɗi fal mamnda tǝ tarɗa nǝn keeghǝn mbuwa wa tǝ ƙǝkafek fa ka thladwayidghǝn. Ƙǝsǝr nafiya ƙǝshiid weeriya hu tsawundan tǝ fiya yi ƙǝshin ndan kalnda nafiya na tǝ ƙǝkafekkirha thladwayirha.”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.

9Niya pǝranggǝn kun, ǝnama taara tǝ ƙǝna nun yi ƙǝshidɗiya tǝnun wal pashiya, ƙǝsǝr a fara ngwalanǝn hai, nanda thlǝ kun fa a talara pakwanɗǝ.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“Niifa na fiya fǝrƙǝkafek tǝghǝn ahu ˈya na ngguchit, tǝ ƙǝkafekni ƙǝm ahu ˈya na manggǝn. Niifa mbuwana ƙǝkafek sǝ a fadghǝn ahu ˈya na ngguchit, mbǝ ƙǝkafek sǝ ƙǝm a fadghǝn ahu ˈya na manggǝn wa.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.

11A ǝnawun ƙǝkafekirha hu ƙǝssa ƙǝna ƙǝshiirha wa, wunni fǝrƙǝkafek tǝ kun aten ƙǝna yi ƙǝkafek na a talara?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12A ǝnawun ƙǝkafekkirha aten ǝn niifa wa, wunni fǝrang yi altennun kun?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13“Mbǝ mafarha sǝ na ǝnang taara turaya sǝri wa. Tsauɗǝ nǝn nggǝm tal kar tahadghǝnǝn, nduwa ƙǝm mananggǝn tal sar tahadghǝnǝn. Mbǝ ǝnaarha hai ǝnang taara nun Faara tǝ wuɗǝɓǝla kyab wa.”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.”

14Farisaya na ngyingyilǝm tǝ wuɗǝɓǝla, sǝk nanda ǝnggini heu, nanda a chang yirha Yeeso fa.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Ndanggǝn kanda, “Kunni manang nda fannun a yid fiya, amma Faara sǝnɗǝ huryinun. ˈYa nggǝmna fiya kaan, ǝn tsandani a yid Faara.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“Ngyakhrha tǝ ɗeleewar annabiya ndǝna fiya takkwarha ɗǝgha hu ƙǝshiid Yahaya tǝ Mbaptisǝma ɗǝ. Ka a farɗi, laɓarɗi na ngga yi kutǝryid Faara pǝrndan, nagha kowunni a kaɗa kwamana na kyagha sa hai.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.

17Nǝghǝn pǝpa nda talara tǝ hweeɗe ngwalanda hai, ma ˈya ngguchit hu ɗeleewar ngyakhrha Faara kyagha ɗǝ.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“Kala niifa kalgha nukkun hai nggǝrghǝn kakhrha ǝnanǝn kulafayirha. Niifa ƙǝm kakhka nuneefa kalnanda hai, ǝnanǝn kulafayirha.”Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19Ndangga Yeeso kanda, “Na tǝ ƙǝna sǝ, nǝn naarha kal kaɓarha fa na nggǝngga ka fad ɗathla mbǝrha fa hai nǝn naarha tǝk mbǝndayidghǝn fa.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20A kwatkirǝmnggǝn, na tǝ hwanda sǝ thlǝmnggǝnni Liyadzuru fadghǝn na heu wundǝyani.And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Na midghǝnsǝ nagha a ɗan fǝfǝsǝrra ǝnnadɗami hǝrgha hai ahar tǝ ƙǝnaɗi. Wuɗaya nanda naarha ɓarha ɓa nanda a nii wundiyini keeghǝn.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“Tsǝgha farɗa hai mǝrgha Liyadzuru, tǝrangga wangya thlǝnda Faara a thlǝmad Ibrahim ɗǝ. Tǝ ƙǝnaɗi ƙǝm mergha pangganda.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Ndǝghǝn ahu hwanga a sǝsaarha, tǝranggǝn tenggǝn sǝ ƙǝlagha ɗǝ, na Ibrahim nǝn ɗǝ inggun tǝ Liyadzuru a thlǝmadghǝn.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24Tǝrgha aaghǝnǝn ɗǝ, ‘Pǝpa Ibrahim a haɗoyi fa, thlǝnu Liyadzuru ɓa ɓagha pang wan harghǝn hu aama hai tsǝtse ƙǝnǝn mii hai mbiɗenggǝn sheneuna ɗǝ, ƙǝsǝr ni a sǝsaarha kaan ahu waɗɗiya.’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“Amma ndangga Ibrahim, ‘Waana ɗalu teena hai tsawudwa hu ƙǝshiirha, walna ǝn ƙǝshiirha tǝkna mbǝnda fa, Liyadzuru ƙǝm sǝsaɗǝ. Amma kulo nanǝnya a tǝk mbǝnda fa a mbǝɗiya, sa a sǝsaarha.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.

26Mbǝ kee ma wa, pathlang nan tǝ sa na kwarhasǝ manggǝn kuɗimnggǝn, fingya na mindansǝ ɗǝrha thlǝmannun ɗǝ amana nda mbang nda, tǝ ƙǝmɗa, ahur nun mbǝ niifa mbang tǝɗaarha thlǝmannan ɓa wa.’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.’

27Ndagha tǝ ƙǝnaɗi, ‘Nanǝn kee, niya hwan sa pǝpa, thlǝnu Liyadzuru a minda ki pǝpa ɗǝ;‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28ƙǝsǝr na wanmanggina sǝ tuf hǝshya. Ɗǝgha yiyi thlǝman ndan, amana nda ɓarha hu sǝsadɗa ɓa ya ƙǝm.’for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29“Ndangga Ibrahim, ‘Na ngyakhrha Musa sǝ, tǝ yi Annabiya, kang thlǝmanda kanda fa lee.’But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30Ndagha tǝ ƙǝnaɗi, ‘Mbǝ kewa pǝpa Ibrahim, amma a thlid niifa sǝ ahur mǝrya ɗǝgha thlǝmandan ɗǝ nanda fǝrƙǝkafek.’‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31“Ndangga Ibrahim, ‘A sǝkkwanda ˈya chirethna Musa tǝ yi Annabiya wa, ka thliina niifa sǝ ahur mǝrya, mba nda kang thlǝmarha fa wa.’ ”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.’”
