Luke 16 (KIZ) · Opened

1Yesu akabhajobhela bhanafunzi bha muene, “Pajhele ni munu mmonga tajiri ajhe ni meneja, na ataarifibhu jha kujha meneja ojho itapanya mali sya muene.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Hivyo tajiri akan'kuta, akan'jobhela, “kiki ekhe kya nikakip'eleka juu jha bhebhe? Bhosiajhi hesabu jha umeneja bhwa jhobhi, kwandabha wibhwesya lepi kuja meneja kabhele.'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.’

3Meneja jhola akajobha mu muoyo bhwa muene, nikhetayi kiki, maana bwana ghwa nene akanibhosya mu kazi jhangu jha umeneja? nijhelepi ni nghofu sya kulema, ni kus'oka nibhona soni.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.

4Nimanyili lyaibeta kubhomba ili panibeta kubhosibhwa mu mbombo jhangu jha uwakili bhanu bhanikaribisiajhi mu nyumba sya bheneI know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5Hivyo wakili akabhakuta bhadeni bhwa bwana ghwa muene kwa khila mmonga akan'jobhela ghwa kuanza, 'ghwidaibhwa kiasi gani ni bwana bhangu?'And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Akajobha fipemu mia moja fya mafuta akan'jobhela 'tolayi hati jha jhobhi tamayi manyata yandikayi hamsini.'‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Kisha akan'jobhela jhongi ni bhebhe widaibhwa kiasi gani?' akajobha 'fipemu mia moja fya sembe ghwa ngano.' Akan'jobhela 'letayi hati jha bhebhe jhandikayi themanini.'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.

8bwana jhola akan'sifu meneja dhalimu kwa vile kyaabhombili kwa wereu. Kwa kujha bhanu bha ulimwengu obho bherevu bhingi na bhishughulika kwa ujanja ni bhanu bha lubhafu lwa bhene kuliko kya bhajhele bhana bha nuru.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.

9Nani nikabhajobhela mwikibhekayi marafiki kwa mali gha udhalimu ili pajhibeta kukosekana bhabhakaribisiajhi mu makao gha milele.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Jhaajhe mwaminifu kwa e'le lidebe nesu ijha mwaminifu mu libhaha kabhele. na jhaajhe dhalimu kwa ele lidebe ijha dhahalimu kwa lijhele libhaha kabhele.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.

11Kama muenga mwajhelepi mwebhaaminifu mu mali gha udhalimu niani jha ibeta kubhaamini mu mali gha bhukweli?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Na kama mwajhelepi bhaaminifu katika mali gha munu jhongi niani ibeta kubhaamini kwa gha muenga?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13Ajhelepi mtumishi jha ibhwesya kutumikila mabwana bhabhele, kwandabha ibeta kun'dadila mmonga ni kun'gana jhongi, ama ibeta kushikamana ni ojho nikumdharau ojho. Mwibhwesya lepi kun'tumikila K'yara ni mali.”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.”

14Basi Mafarisayo, bhabhasiganili hela bhaghap'eliki agha ghoha na bhan'dhihakili.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Na akabhajobhela, “Muenga ndo mwamikidayi haki mbele jha bhanadamu, lakini Mungu ajhimanyili mioyo ghya muenga. Kwa kujha lyalitukuiki kwa mwanadamu lijha chukizo kwa K'yara.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.

16Sheria ni manabii fyajhele mpaka Yohana bho ahidili. Kuh'omela bhwakati obhu, habari jhinofu jha ufalme bhwa K'yara bhwitangesibhwa ni kila munu ijaribu kwijhingisya kwa nghofu.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.

17Lakini rahisi kwa mbingu ni nchi fibhokayi kuliko hata herufi jhimonga jha sheria kukosekana.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.

18Kila jhaakandeka nd'ala munu ni kun'gega n'dala jhongi idhinilepi, ni muene jhaakan'gega jha alekibhu ni n'gosi munu izinilepi.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19Pajhele ni munu mmonga tajiri jhaafwalili nghobho sya rangi sya zambarau ni kitani kinofu na akajha furahila kila ligono utajiri bhwa muene mbaha.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Ni maskini mmonga lihina lya muene Lazaro abhekibhu pageti lya muene, na ajhe ni filonda.And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Ni muene akajha inoghela kushibishwa kwa makombo ghaghabinili kuh'oma pameza pa jhola tajiri hata mabwa ghakahida kun'yabha filonda fya muene.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22Ikajha maskini jhola afwili na atolibhu ni malaika mpaka pakifua kya Ibrahimu. Tajiri jhola ni muene afwili na asyelibhu.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Ni khola kuzimu paajhele mu malombosi akaghajhinula mihu gha muene akambona Ibrahimu kwa patali ni Lazaro pakifua kya muene.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24Akalela akajobha, 'Dadi Ibrahimu, unihurumilayi un'tumayi Lazaro ajhinayi ncha jha kikonji kya muene mumasi, auburudisiajhi lumilu lwa nene; kwandabha nitesibhwa mu muoto obho.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.’

25Lakini Ibrahimu akajobha, 'Mwanabhangu khombokayi katika maisha gha jhobhi ghwa ejhapokili mambo gha jhobhi manofu ni Lazaro mebhu akabhili manofu lepi. Ila henu ajhe apa ifarijibhwa ni bhebhe wilamasibhwa.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.

26Ni zaidi jha aghu libhekibhu lilende libhaha na litali kati jha tete, ili bhala bhabhilonda kubhoka khoni kulota kwa jhomu bhasibhwesi wala bhanu bha muenga bhasilobhoki kuhida khoni.'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.’

27Tajiri jhola akajobha, 'Nikus'oka Dadi Ibrahimu, kwamba undaghisiajhi kunyumba kwa dadijhangu‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28kwakujha nijhe nibhalongo bhangu bhahanu ili abhaonyanyi, kwa hofu kujha na bhene kabhele bhibeta kuhida mahali pa mal'ombosi.for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29Lakini Ibrahimu akajobha, 'Bhajheni Musa ni manabii. Bhalekayi bhabhapelekesiajhi bhene.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30Tajiri jhola akajobha, 'lepi, Dadi Ibrahimu, lakini kama abhalotili munu jha ih'omela kwa bhafu bhibeta kutubu.'‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31Lakini Ibrahimu akabhajobhela, 'bhakabelayi lubhap'eleka Musa ni manabii bhibeta lepi kushawishibhwa hata munu akafufukayi kwa bhafu.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.’”
