1. 1IKZYɨɨsu akabhʉʉrɨra abhɨɨga bhaazɨ, “Kwarɨ nu umuniibhi wʉmwɨ nu umwimiiririri waazɨ. Umwimiiririri wuyo, akagambwa kʉbha aarɨ arasarya ebhegero bhyʉ ʉmʉkʉrʉ waazɨ.BSBBSB: Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
2. 2IKZƗkagirya umuniibhi akabhɨrɨkɨra umwimiiririri waazɨ, akabhuga, ‘Awɨɨ, nɨ‑mangʼanakɨ ganʉ niigwirɨ igʉrʉ waazʉ? Onyeereche endengo na amahocha gaazʉ ge ebhegero bhyanɨ, kʉ kʉbha ʉtakʉtʉra kongʼeha kʉbha umwimiiririri waanɨ!’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. 3IKZ“Umwimiiririri wuyo akiibhuurya, ‘Nekorebhwɨ nangʉ? Ʉmʉkʉrʉ waanɨ aranduusha momeremo. Kʉrɨma nɨtakʉtʉra, na nɨrarora sʉni kʉsabhasabha.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. 4IKZNangʉ! Nɨraatigibhwɨ emeremo gɨnʉ, nɨramenya ryo okokora, korereke abhaatʉ bhansʉngʼaanɨ yɨɨka waabhʉ.’BSBBSB: I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
5. 5IKZ“Neho umwimiiririri akabhɨrɨkɨra abhasiirɨ bhʉʉsi bhʉ ʉmʉkʉrʉ waazɨ, wʉmwɨ wʉmwɨ. Akabhuurya we embere, ‘Isiirɨ yaazʉ kʉmʉkʉrʉ waanɨ ne‑ndengokɨ?’BSBBSB: And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
6. 6IKZ“Akamʉgarukirya, ‘Isiirɨ yaanɨ, nɨ‑madaraamu igana ga amaguta gɨ ɨmɨzɨyituuni.’ “Umwimiiririri akabhuga, ‘Gega ripapʉra rɨnʉ, ryandikirwɨ isiirɨ yaazʉ. Ikara hanʉ, ʉrɨkɨranʼyɨ bhwangʉ, yaandɨka merongo ɨtaanʉ.’BSBBSB: ‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
7. 7IKZ“Akʉmara akabhuurya umusiirɨ ʉwʉndɨ, ‘Awɨ, isiirɨ yaazʉ, ne‑ndengokɨ?’ “Akamʉgarukirya, ‘Magonera igana gɨ ɨnganʉ.’ “Umwimiiririri wurya akabhuga, ‘Gega ripapʉra ryi isiirɨ yaazʉ, yaandɨka bhwangʉ merongo ɨnaanɨ.’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. 8IKZ“Neho umuniibhi akakumya umwimiiririri kʉbhʉngʼɨɨni bhwazɨ.” Yɨɨsu akangʼeha kubhuga, “Abhaatʉ bhɨ ɨɨsɨ yɨnʉ bhanʉ ʉbhʉngʼɨɨni bhariihokerya na abhakɨndichazɨ, kʉkɨra abhaatʉ bhu ubhwɨrʉ.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. 9IKZNa niinyɨ nɨrabhabhʉʉrɨra, mohokerye ubhuniibhi bhwɨ ɨɨsɨ yɨnʉ kobhona abhasaani, korereke hanʉ mukusirirwa ebhegero, mʉsʉngʼaanwɨ mubhwikari bhwa kemerano.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. 10IKZ“Ʉmʉʉtʉ omoronge kʉmangʼana amasuuhu, newe omoronge nʉʉrʉ kʉmakʉrʉ. Ɨbhu nɨmbu, ʉmʉʉtʉ wa amangʼɨɨni kʉmangʼana amasuuhu, newe ʉmʉngʼɨɨni nʉʉrʉ kʉmakʉrʉ.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. 11IKZArɨɨbhɨ ʉtabhɨɨrɨ moronge kohokerya ebhegero bhyɨ ɨɨsɨ yɨnʉ, ɨtakʉtʉrɨkana ʉhaabhwɨ ebhegero bhya amaheene mwisaarʉ!BSBBSB: So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
12. 12IKZArɨɨbhɨ mʉtabhɨɨrɨ bharonge kʉ kʉbhɨɨka ebhegero bhyʉ ʉwʉndɨ, ɨtakʉtʉrɨkana mʉhaabhwɨ ebhegero bhyanyu imubheene!BSBBSB: And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
13. 13IKZ“Atareeho ʉmʉʉtʉ wʉnʉ akʉtʉra kohokerya abhakʉrʉ bhabhɨrɨ, kʉ kʉbha aratʉra kubhiihirirwa ʉwʉmwɨ na kʉsɨɨga ʉwʉndɨ, hamwɨ kugwatana nʉ ʉwʉmwɨ na korega ʉwʉndɨ. Na niimwɨ, mʉtakʉtʉra kohokerya Mungu ne ebhegero hamwɨmwɨ!”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. 14IKZHanʉ Abhafarisaayo bhiigwirɨ amangʼana gayo ga Yɨɨsu, bhakatanga komoseka kwa kerege, kʉ kʉbha bhakasɨɨga bhʉkʉngʼu zimpirya.BSBBSB: The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
15. 15IKZYɨɨsu akabhabhʉʉrɨra, “Imwɨ, muriikorya mʉbhʉtangɨ bhwa abhaatʉ kʉbha mone eheene. Nawe, Mungu amɨnyirɨ amangʼana ganʉ garɨ mozekoro zaanyu. Amangʼana ganʉ abhaatʉ bhahaasɨɨga bhʉkʉngʼu, gariigatanʼya Mungu!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. 16IKZ“Imigirʉ ja Musa, na amaandɨkʉ ga abharʉʉtɨrɨri, gaarɨ garatunwa na abhaatʉ kuhika ribhaga rya Yoohana. Kwɨma ribhaga riyo, Ɨngʼana Ɨnzʉmu yʉ ʉbhʉtɨmi bhwa Mungu ɨkabha ɨragambwa, na abhaatʉ bhʉʉsi bhahiisikirya kwa nguru.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. 17IKZNawe nɨ‑kʉnyʉʉhu bhʉkʉngʼu kwa risaarʉ ni icharʉ kurweho, kʉkɨra kaandɨkʉ kasuuhu ki imigirʉ kuhutwa.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. 18IKZ“Umusubhɨ, wʉnʉ akutiga mʉkaazɨ nu ukukwɨra ʉwʉndɨ, arasebheeta. Nu umusubhɨ araakwɨrɨ ʉmʉkari wʉnʉ ahɨɨbhirwɨ nu umusubhɨ waazɨ, arasebheeta.BSBBSB: Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
19. 19IKZ“Kwarɨ nu umuniibhi wʉmwɨ, wʉnʉ aarɨ akokora ɨnyangi kɨrakabhu na kwibhoha amiibhoho amazʉmu ga zambaraawɨ gi guri ikʉrʉ.BSBBSB: Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
20. 20IKZNa mukisikʉ chu umuniibhi wuyo, haareho nʉ ʉmʉhabhɨ wʉmwɨ, iriina ryazɨ Razaarʉ. Razaarʉ wuyo, ʉmʉbhɨrɨ gwazɨ gwʉsi gwarɨ gwizwirɨ ebhedonda,BSBBSB: And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores
21. 21IKZna zimbwa zaarɨ zɨraaza komeesa ebhedonda bhyazɨ. Hanʉ amasaajʉ gaarɨ gakugwa kurwa kwigari, Razaarʉ akabha ariigomba ahaabhwɨ, kʉ kʉbha aarɨ ariigwa ɨnzara.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. 22IKZ“Mmbe ʉmʉhabhɨ Razaarʉ akakwa. Maraika akamuhira haguhɨ na Abhurahaamu. Umuniibhi wʉʉsi akakwa, akabhiikwa.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. 23IKZHanʉ umuniibhi aarɨ aranyaaka bhʉkʉngʼu nyaari, akanʉnga amɨɨsʉ, akarora Abhurahaamu kwa kore na Razaarʉ haguhɨ nawe.BSBBSB: In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.
24. 24IKZAkamʉbhɨrɨkɨra kwiraka, ‘Bhaabha Abhurahaamu, ondorere ɨbhɨgʉngi! Nɨranyaaka momorero gʉnʉ! Mʉtʉmɨ Razaarʉ aazɨ kwa niinyɨ, akorye esonga yi ichara mʉmanzi, atoonye kʉrʉrɨmɨ rwanɨ korereke ruzirɨrɨ.’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. 25IKZ“Nawe, Abhurahaamu akamʉgarukirya, ‘Mwana waanɨ, uhiitɨ kʉbha ʉkabhona amangʼana amazʉmu mubhwikari bhwazʉ, na Razaarʉ, akabhona amabhɨ. Nawe nangʉ, ewe arabhona amazʉmu, na naawɨ ʉranyaaka.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. 26IKZHamwɨmwɨ na gayo, gatɨ wɨɨtʉ na niimwɨ, kʉtɨɨrwɨhʉ rirʉʉma ikʉrʉ bhʉkʉngʼu, korereke bhanʉ bhakwenda kurwa ɨnʉ kuuza kwa niimwɨ, bhatanaja kwambʉka, na bhanʉ bhakwenda kurwa iyo kuuza kwa niitwɨ, bhatanaja.’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. 27IKZ“Neho umuniibhi akabhuga, ‘Nangʉ bhaabha, nɨrakʉsabha ʉtʉmɨ Razaarʉ ajɨ yɨɨka kwa bhaabha,BSBBSB: ‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,
28. 28IKZabhareche abhahiiri bhaanɨ bhataanʉ, bhataaza kuuza ɨnʉ ahagero hɨ ɨnyaakʉ bhʉkʉngʼu.’BSBBSB: for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
29. 29IKZ“Nawe, Abhurahaamu akamʉgarukirya, ‘Abhahiiri bhaazʉ, bhaana Musa na abharʉʉtɨrɨri, bhabhiitegeerere bhayo!’BSBBSB: But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
30. 30IKZ“Umuniibhi akamʉgarukirya, ‘Zɨyi, bhaabha Abhurahaamu! Nawe, ʉmʉʉtʉ araajɨ kwebho kurwa mʉbhaku, bharatiga ʉbhʉbhɨ bhwabhʉ.’BSBBSB: ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31. 31IKZ“Abhurahaamu akamʉgarukirya, ‘Abhahiiri bhaazʉ bhayo, bharɨɨtamɨ kwitegeerera Musa na abharʉʉtɨrɨri, bhatakʉdɨɨrɨɨra nʉʉrʉ ʉmʉʉtʉ ariiryʉkɨ kurwa mʉbhaku.’ ”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.’”
