Luke 16 (ILOULB)

1Kinuna pay ni Hesus kadagiti adalanna, “Adda maysa nga baknang nga addaan iti mangimatmaton, ken naipadamag kenkuana nga busbusbosen ti mangimatmaton dagiti kinabaknangna.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Inayaban ngarud ti baknang ti mangimatmaton ket kinunana, 'Ania daytoy a madamdamag ko maipanggep kenka? Itedmo kaniak ti listaan dagiti amin a naaramidam, ta saan kan nga mangimaton.'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.’

3Kinuna ti mangimatmaton iti bagina, 'Ania ti nasken nga aramidek, agsipud ta alaenen ti amongko iti trabahok nga mangimaton? Saanko met nga kabaelan ti agkali, ken mabainak met nga agpakaasi.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.

4Ammokon ti aramidek, tapno inton maikkatak iti trabahok, awatendakto dagiti tattao iti babbalayda.'I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5Inayaban ngarud ti mangimatmaton ti tunggal maysa kadagiti nakabulod iti amongna ket dinamagna iti immuna, 'Mano ti binulodmo iti amongko?'And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Ket kinunana, 'Sangagasut a rukod iti lana ti olibo,' Ket kinunana kenkuana, 'Alaem ti listaan, agtugawka nga dagus ket isuratmo iti limapulo.'‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Ket kinuna ti mangimatmaton iti maysa, 'Ket mano ti utangmo?' Kinunana, 'Sangagasut a rukod iti trigo.' Kinunana kenkuana, 'Alaem ti listaam, ket isuratmo ti walopulo.'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.

8Dinayaw ngarud ti baknang ti saan a nalinteg a mangimatmaton gapu iti inaramidna a kinasikap. Ta dagiti annak daytoy a lubong ket ad-adda iti kinasikapda no maipanggep kadagiti tattaoda, ngem dagiti annak iti lawag.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.

9Ibagak daytoy kadakayo, makigayyemkayo babaen kadagiti kinabaknang ditoy lubong, tapno inton awanen, mabalin nga pasangbayen dakayo idiay agnanayon a pagtaengan.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Siasinoman a mapagtalkan iti bassit ket mapagtalkan met iti adu, ken siasinoman a saan nga mapagtalkan iti bassit ket saan met a mapagtalkan iti adu.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.

11Ngarud, no saankayo a mapagtalkan iti panangusaryo iti kinabaknang ditoy lubong, siasino ti mangitalek kadakayo iti pudno nga kinabaknang?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Kastamet, a no saankayo nga mapagtalkan iti banag nga kukua ti sabali, siasino ti mangted kadakayo iti bukodyo?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13Awan adipen a mabalinna ti agserbi iti duwa nga amo, ta masapul nga guraenna ti maysa ken ipategna ti maysa. Wenno agbalin a napasnek iti maysa ken umsienna ti maysa. Saankayo nga makapagserbi iti Dios ken iti kinabaknang.”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.”

14Idi nangngeg daytoy dagiti Pariseo a mangay-ayat iti kuarta, pinagang-angawanda isuna.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Ket imbagana kadakuada, “Palintegenyo dagiti bagbagiyo iti imatang dagiti tattao, ngem ammo ti Dios ti puspusoyo. Agsipud ta ti nangato iti imatang dagiti tattao ket makapakarurod iti imatang ti Dios.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.

16Maar-aramat ti linteg ken dagiti propeta agingga nga immay ni Juan. Manipud idi, ti naimbag a damag ti pagarian ti Dios ket naikasaba, ken tunggal maysa ket padpadasenda nga ipilit ti wagas da iti daytoy.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.

17Ngem nalaklaka a mapukaw ti langit ken daga ngem iti pannakaawan-serbi ti maysa nga letra iti linteg.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.

18Tunggal maysa a mangisina iti asawana a babai ken mangasawa iti sabali ket nakikamalala, ken siasinoman a mangasawa iti babai nga naisina iti asawana ket nakikamalala.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19Itatta adda maysa nga baknang a nakakawes iti maris-lila ken pino nga lino, ken inaldaw a ragragsakenna ti kinabaknangna.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Adda met maysa nga agpalpalama a managan Lazaro nga adda iti ruanganna ken napunno iti gaddil,And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21ket kanayon nga agtartarigagay nga mapakan iti aniaman nga matinnag iti lamisaan ti baknang - malaksid iti dayta, umay pay dagiti aso a mangdilpat kadagiti gaddilna.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22Ti napasamak ket natay ti agpalpalama ket impan dagiti anghel iti sibay ni Abraham. Natay met ti baknang ket naitabon,One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23ket idiay hades, idi madama nga agsagsagaba, inngatona iti panagkitana ket nakitana iti adayo ni Lasaro nga nakasanggir iti barukong ni Abraham.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24Ket inyikkisna a kunana, 'Ama Abraham, kaasiannak koma. Ibaonmo ni Lazaro ta basaenna ti murdong ti ramayna iti danom, ket umayna isagid ditoy dilak, ta agsagsagabaak unay iti daytoy nga apuy.'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.’

25Ngem insungbat ni Abraham, 'Anak, laglagipem nga inawatmo dagiti agkakaimbag a banbanag iti unos ti panagbiagmo, ket inawat met ni Lazaro dagiti agkakadakes a banbanag. Ngem ita ket adda ditoy a maliwliwa,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.

26ket addaka iti nakaro a panagrigat. Ken malaksid kadagitoy, adda dakkel a yuyeng nga nalagda a naikabil, tapno dagiti adda ditoy a kayatna ti bumallasiw ket saan a makapan dita, ken awan makaumay ditoy nga aggapu dita.'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.’

27Kinuna ti baknang, 'Agpakpakaasiak kenka, Ama Abraham, nga ibaonmo isuna idiay balay ni amak -‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28ta adda lima nga kakabsat ko a lallaki - tapno maballaaganna isuda, tapno agbutengda ket saanda met nga umay iti daytoy nga lugar a pagtutuokan.'for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29Ngem kinuna ni Abraham, 'Adda kadakuada ni Moises ken dagiti propeta; bay-am nga dumngegda kadakuada.'But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30Insungbat ti baknang, 'Saan, Ama Abraham, ngem no adda maysa nga mapan kadakuada manipud kadagiti natay, agbabawida.'‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31Ngem imbaga ni Abraham kenkuana, 'No saanda nga dumngeg kenni Moises ken kadagiti propeta, saanda met laeng nga maallukoy uray adda agbiag manipud ken patay.'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.’”
