Luke 16 (KBQ) · Opened

1Jisasi'a, mago'ene amage nentaza disaipol naga'amokizmi anage huno fronka kea zamasmi'ne, Magora afufenone ne'mo'a, fenoma'are ugagota huno kva nehia eri'za ne'mo, fenoma'a eri havia hu'nea nanekea,Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2nentahino ugagota eri'za ne'a agi higeno egeno, na'a hu'nana naneke antahi'noe? Mafka eri'zama eri'nana avontafe ka'a erinka enka eme erifatgo huo. Na'ankure kagra mago'ene ugagota kva omanigahane huno higeno,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.’

3ana ugagota eri'za kva ne'mo'a amanahu ke agra'a agu'afina antahi'ne, na'a nagra hugahue. Kva ni'amo'a eri'za ni'a eri atreanki? Nagrira hoza eri hanaveni'a omnegahiankina vaheku nzahuo huzankura nagaze hugahie huno nehuno,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.

4Nagra naza hugahue hago antahue, ugagotahu kva eri'za'niafinti hunante'na, vahe'mo'za muse hunante'za navare'za nozmifi ome nantegahaze.I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5Nehuno ozafa'amofo zama nofi huno eri'nea vahe, mago mago ke higeza ageno, ese'ma emofo agra anage huno antahige'ne, nama'a ozafa'nimofo'zana nofira hunka eri'nane?And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Higeno ana ne'mo'a anage hu'ne, 100'a Olivi masaventafe eri'noe higeno, ana fenonte ugagota hu'nea kva ne'mo anage hu'ne, ame hunka mopafi maninka avontafeka'a erinka 50'a masaventafene hunka avona krento huno asami'ne.‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Anante rumo egeno ana ugagota kva eri'za ne'mo antahige'ne, Nama'a kagra nofira hu'nane? Higeno ana ne'mo'a 100'a witigure higeno, ugagota eri'za kva nemo'a huno avon tafe erinka 80'a witigure hunka avona krento hu'ne.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.

8Henka kva ne'mo'a, fenozante ugagota huno kvahu so'e osu'nea kva ne' muse hunte'ne. Na'ankure antahiza me'nea kva vahemo nehiaza hu'negure. Hagi ama knafi havizama nehaza vahe'mo'za zamagra zantera knare hu'za kva nehu'za, tavi masare'ma nemaniza vahera zamagateneraze.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.

9Amanage hu'na Nagra neramasmue, fenoma erinka ama mopafi fatgo osu'zante'ma netrana zana, netrenka ana zanteti vahera zamazeri knampa huzmante'negeno, ana fenoma vagama resige'za, muse hu'za kavare'za mani vava nonkuma zamirega vugahaze.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Mago'mo'ma osi'zantema so'e huno kegavahu fatgo hanimo'a, anahu kna huno ra zana kegavahu fatgo hugahie. Hagi osi'zama kegavahu fatgo osanimo'a, ra zana kegavahu fatgo osugahie.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.

11Kagrama ama mopafi fenozama kegavahu fatgo osnankeno'a, iza tamage fenoma kvama kri'zana kamigahie?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Kagrama vahe'zama kegava huhaviza hanankeno'a, kagri'zana iza kamigahie.And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13Mago eri'za ne'mo'a tare ozafarera eri'zana e'origahie. Mago'mofona antahi haviza hunenteno, mago'mofona avesi antegahie. Huge mago'mo'ene mani tragoneteno, mago'mofona atregahie. Kagra Anumzante ene zagorera eri'zana eriontegahane.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.”

14Farisi vahe'mo'za ana maka ke nentahi'za, (zagogu zamesi zamesi nehaza naga'mo'za) agiza nere'za, hupri hunte'naze.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Hu'neanagi Jisasi'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Vahe'mofo zamavurera tamagra fatgo vahere hutma nehazanagi, Anumzamo'a tamagu'a ke'ne. Na'ankure vahe'mo'zama knarezantfa me'ne nehaza'zamo'a, Anumzamofo avufina havizantfa me'ne.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.

16Mosese kasegene, kasnampa vahe'mofo kea huama huno Joni knare eme atre'ne. Hagi ananteti'ma e'neana Anumzamofo kumamofo musenke huama nehigeno, hakare vahe'mo'za hanaveti'za ana kumapi vanagura kazigazi hu'za nevaze.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.

17Hu'neanagi amane fru huno monane, mopanena fanane hugahianagi, kasege kefima me'nea osi avomo'a vaga oregahie.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.

18Iza'o a'ma netreno ru a'ma erinuno'a, anamo'a monko'za hugahie. Hagi mago ne'mo'ma, ve'a atre'nesi'a a' erisanimo'a, monkoza hugahie huno hu'ne.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19Jisasi'a amanage hu'ne, Mago ne'mo afufenoma'a hakare me'negeno tusi'a zago atreno, koranke kukena nehuno, asanema nehia ne'za knane knane erino neneno, so'e huno mani'ne.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Ana nehigeno noma'a kasante mago nera fenoma'a omane'nea fugo namune ne' antazageno manitere nehiane. Ana ne'mofo agi'a Lasarusi'e.And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Lasarusi'a maseno mani'neno, feno ne'mo'ma ne'za nenesigeno ankra heramisiama'a erina nesue huno nehuno emani'negeza, kramo'za namuma'areti zamaganefu'nanu hu'ne hane hu'naze.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22Anante amunte omane nera frige'za, ankero vahe'mo'za eri'za Abrahamu nemania kumate vu'naze. Vutageno afufeno nera anante frige'za eri'za ome asentageno,One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23hagi tevefi manineno tusiza huno ata negrigeno kenagamuteno Abrahamuke Lasarusikea, afete magopi mani'nakeno zanage'ne.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24Neznageno kezatino, Abrahamuga nafa'nimoka teve nenrege'na natagu nehuanki kasuntagi nantenka, Lasarusina huntegeno timpi azanko agona'a reteno nagefu'nare eme rentenkeno fru hunanteno hu'ne.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.’

25Abrahamu'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Mofavre'moka kagesa antahio. Mopafi mani'nenka knare zampi mani'nankeno Lasarusi'a haviza huno mani'ne. Hu'neanagi menina Lasarusi'a fruzampi emani'negenka kagra kata zampi mani'nane.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.

26Hanki mago'zana amanahu kna'za me'ne. Tamagri'ene tagri'ene amu'nompina tusi'a tinka me'negeno, hagro hu'neankita tamagritegama takaheta vu'zanku'ene tagritega ezankura tusi'a amuho hurantegahie.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.’

27Anante anage higeno, afufenone ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne. Nafa'nimoka Abrahamuga muse hugantoanki Lasarusina huntegeno nenfa nontega vino,‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28na'ankure nafa'nimofo nompina 5fu'a nafuhe'ina zamatre'na e'noanki, Lasarusina huntegeno hanave'nentake kore ke ome huzmasamisige'za tusi'a ata eri kumapina omeho hu'ne.for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29Hu'neanagi Abrahamu'a kenona huno, Moses nanekene kasnampa vahe'mokizmi nanekea me'neanki'za zamagra ana nanekea antahigahaze.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30Ana hianagi afufenoma'ane ne'mo'a anage hu'ne, a'o nafa'nimoke higeno, Abrahamu'a anage hu'ne, frinefinti otino ome zamasamisiana zamagu'a rukrahera hugahazo!‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31Anage hianangi Abrahamu amanage huno asami'ne, I'o. Moses nanekene, kasnampa vahe'mokizmi nanekema nontahisu'za, inankna hu'za fripinti otino ome zamasami'nia kerera zamagu'a rukrehe hugahaze huno hu'ne.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.’”
