Luke 16 (JNI) · Opened

1Yeso ma gu inanu utarsa umeme, “Awuzi ure unu mazi ini kirfi mazi indesa matarsa me ini kirfi me, a ē agun me unutarsa ini kirfi iweme ma huza ini Sarki nice.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Unu kirfi me ma titi me magun me, nyanini in kuna ani ce nuwe me? Aye mu ini benani ikirfi me, barki uda kuri u tarsum in ini ba.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.’

3Unu tarsa ini kirfi me magu iriba imeme, “Indi wu aneni, una kura madi kabi unu tarsa ina kura ame a tari tum? Mebe, in zomu in nikara na avara in kunna mu'i'in iki imum.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.

4In rusa imum me sa indi wu ingi a karam u tarsa ina kura me, Anu wa kabum ati kura tuweme.I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5Unu tarsa ina kura me ma titi an desa una kura ma tarsa me ureme, magun unu nutuba ihuno ini una kura matarsa we?And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Magun me, magarwa ma mani manu akuru ukirau (100), Magun me, 'Kaba utagarda uweme, cukuno debe, u yetteke akuri ucibi!‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Ma kuri magun in uye, 'Ihuno ini una kura matarsa we?' Magu, ma buhu manu akure u karau me ialkama, magun me kaba utagarda, u yetteke manu akure uwiti tari (80).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.

8Una kura ma nonziko unu tarsa ina kura me barki upoko aje ameme. A hana une ugeme wa ribeze anyimo anu nee wa aka ahana masaa.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.

9In booshi ingi ya wuza ni runi gusi imumu un barki uzatu kadure, ingi ya mara, wadi kabi shi ati kura tishime ana imumu muriba.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Desa ma wuga kadure imum icin, una kadure mani imum idangi, desa mazome inkadure ba a hira imum icin unu zatu kadure kani udang.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.

11In daki ya wuza kadure ahira imum unu zatu kadure, aveni madi hem inshi ini mum ika dure?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Ingi daya kuri ya wuza uzatu kadure ini kirfi i uyeba, aveni madi nyashi i kirfi sa izi ishi?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13Ba desa mada ke ma tarsi Asere kare, nani ma game a inde ma hem a inde, nani ma hem ina inde magame a inde ida ke i tarsi Asere i kuri i tarsi imumu une ba.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.”

14Mafarisawa anu su ikirfi sa wa kunna ani me vat watungono tizuza tume.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Ba ma gun we, “Shewani anu nyeze ace anyimo anu, Asere a rusa iriba ishime.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.

16Ubata utize nan anu kurzizo utize wa rani Yohana madiku ē. Datti uganiya ugino me azinu boo tize ta Asere, kodavi mazini uyakara u sosi niceni anyimo me.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.

17Vat in anime, iteki unu seke Aseseri nan adezi amari, ini gona horibi inde be tize tum bi visa.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.

18Vat desa ma gido unē umeme ma zika uye ma zinu wuza katuma kaburi, desa ma zika unē me sa agido me vat mazinu wuza katuma kaburi.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19Awuzi uye unu imumu itari, ma sositi runga ti huma ti kirfi madi gala imum ime kondi uya uwui.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20A inki uye sa mamu uzo ana tukum ameme, unani 30 Liazaru desa vat nipun numeme tinuru tini.And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Madi isi iriba agi matingi mu gitu mu imumare sa idi rizizi adizi barki ma ti iwuxi cangi iki limbi magembu mameme.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22Arā anyimo anime unu dira unikara ma wi, ibe ika dura ka Asere wa ē wa ziki me wa hamme a hira Ibrahim, Unu imum itarari ma wi, a vati me.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Ma rā nyimo icau unu zito, ma venki nice ma iri Ibrahim pit, nan Liazaru a bigiri bumeme.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24Ma titi magu, “Acoo Ibrahim, kuna ugogoni um, u tumi Liazaru ma soki kubo kucin kumeme a mei ma tenzikem ani lem, barki nirere nini izinu same anyimo Urā.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.’

25Ibrahim magu, 'Vana, ringi inti cukum tuwe unē uwe, ukuri ukabi adadu a huma, me Liazaru nirere nini masi. A' aname urunta uni azinu nyiza ume abame, hu ni rere nini uzi na same.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.

26Ban anime, uwaa u concon urani, barki an desa wa nyara wa kafa uaye ahira ashi kati wa rusi, kati kodavi makafa uaye uwatu uru.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.’

27Una imumu itari magu, 'In nyara, acoo Ibrahim, tuma me ma hā akura acoo am'.‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28Barki in zin ina nuhenu aruma ucibi, ma ha maka wuza tize kati wa ē ahira ani rere nigeme.for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29Ibrahim magun, 'Wa zin Musa nan anu u kurzizo tize ta Asere, na wa kunna we.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30Una imumu itari magu, 'Mmh' acoo Ibrahim, ungi uye ma hana ingi uye ma hana a nyimo adesa wa wono wadi kunna we, wa kabi tizeme.‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31Ibrahim ma gun me, 'Ingi daki wa kunna Musa nan anu ukurzizo tize ta Asere ba, koda uye ma hira anyimo anu won cangi wadida kunna we ba.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.’”
