Luke 16 (LGA) · Opened

1Ego sa paranga laoria i Jisu sira na ona sepele: <<Koleona sa kai tinoni isisongo sa pore kai ona nabulu ko isa sa kopuniria doru ona sakasava. Ko ira kaki qai vavakato vania na tinoni isisongo api sa na veveina sa aru vivikereria na nabulu sa kopuniria sa na ona poata.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Poni sa kuku vatomea na tinoni isisongo sa nona nabulu api, ko pira saunia, <Na sa sisa qa nongoronia ara na veveimu ao api? Mu valamea na vavakatona na mua kopu vareregena na qua isisongo, ura kopira munake kopu vareregia na qua isisongo ara sao!> saunia.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.’

3Poni sa kole roroqu mekana sa na nabulu kopu, <Kode mina vabetosiu na qua bangara pa qua roiti sara. Ko na sa beka sa mana roitinia ara tonai? Qake boka roiti pa inuma sara, beto na tetepa tadira na tinoni ba qa keania tugu.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.

4Ego, jongana, pira gu sa mana roiti vei ara, ko totonai mana tavabeto pa qua roiti kopu sara ba mai koledia sira na kubo qua baere mai vatatasiu pa dia ruma,> sau.I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5Ko sa kuku memeka vakamuria isa sira na tinoni qai oqoro tabaria na dia lilipu tana ona bangara. Sa nanasia isa sa na tinoni momoe, <Ao ka visa sa na mua lilipu tana bangara taqu?> saunia.And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Poni pira sau sa na tinoni isa, <Kai gogoto daramu tototoni oela olive pugeledi,> sau. Poni sa paranga sa na nabulu tinoni kopu, <Ego, api sa na mua pepa lilipu. Mu sisiqarai toqo ko mu kutia ka limangavuluputa tototoni oela pugeledi mugu,> sau sisa.‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Beto sa nanasia mule sa kame, <Goto ao sa ai sa vei? Ka visa sa na mua lilipu tana bangara taqu?> saunia. Poni sa paranga sa na tinoni, <Kai gogoto baiki vuiti,> sau. Poni sa paranga sa na nabulu kopu, <Jongana, api sa na mua pepa lilipu. Mu kutia gu ka vesungavuluputa gu,> saunia.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.

8Ko sa doro valavatia na bangara sa na nabulu sesekena api. Ura sa doro momoe laoa na totoso vuka risa sisa, ko sa vatanania na ona toa mekana. Ira na tinoni pa kasia gusu api sa qai tavagigala jolaniria ira na tinoni tana kabere pa rorove vevei inara.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.

9Inara sa vei ko ma pojanigou ara sagou: mu vaiianiria sira na miu isisongo pa peso ko mi pore miu baere, ko tonai mina beto pudala poni sa mai vatogagou pa gusu kole jolana.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Isa sa tarange pa kopudi na sakasava ikikete sa mina tarange tugu pa kopudi na sakasava lalavata; goto isa sake tarange pa kopudi na sakasava ikikete sa minake tarange tugu pa kopudi na sakasava lalavata.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.

11Vei muneke tarange sagou pa kopudi na isisongo pa peso, sa i sei mina rangegou ko mina vakopunigou na isisongo sosoto?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Ko vei munake tarange sagou pa kopuna na isisongo tana goto tinoni, sa i sei mina rangegou ko mina vakopunigou sira na miu isisongo mekamiu?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13Kepore kai nabulu mina boka mekarai nabuluniria sa karu bangara. Kode kame minake tavaraguania goto kame sa mina roroqua; kode mina valavatia kame goto kame mina vakepore veveinai. Ko munake boka mekarai nabuluniria agou sa na Tamasa beto na isisongo,>> sau si Jisu.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.”

14Ego totonai qai nongoria ira na Parese sa vei inara sa qai kole vavaledenia ira si Jisu, ura na gagale bulo poata sira.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Poni pira sauniria i Jisu sira, <<Agou ka visa gu pira sa qu vavadoro veinigou na tinoni tuvisimiu mekamiu pa moedi na tinoni, ba na Tamasa sa gigilaiona na bulomiu. Ura ira na sakasava qai tadoro vaporeveveidi ta tinoni sa qai lulasa ikeredi jola pa dodogoro tana Tamasa.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.

16Na Vavanau beto na kukuti tadira na tinoni kokorotai sa qai toniria na tinoni tinganai sa kamu pa totoso tai Jone Paputaiso. Podalai pa totoso isa ko sa kamu kopira sa sa tatarae sa na nongoro jongana na veveina na binangara tana Tamasa, ko na kubo tinoni sa qai podeke vivitigia ko mai tome laoa qarigu.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.

17Ba vei mina mumuri tu sa na oka beto na peso, ba kai gasi ikete pa Vavanau ba minake isongo vukele riuona.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.

18Na tinoni sa loa pale na maqotana ko sa lao alava beia mule kai goto rereko sa sa babarata tugu sisa. Beto isa na tinoni sa alavia na rereko qai loa pale sa sa babarata tugu sisa,>> sau si Jisu.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19<<Ego koleona sa kai tinoni isisongo sa pokoniria na poko babata jongadi na poreveveidi beto sa suvere ko sa teteku vatatalegana doru rane.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Ko sa koleona mutugu sa kai tinoni vavaivasevina sa tutubu beto doru tinina, na isongona i Lazarasi, ko qai lalao loai ira pa atakamana tana tinoni isisongo sisa.And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Ko sa kole nyonyo ganiria na vuvuvusu gagani qai vuvukele pa tevolo tana tinoni isisongo sisa ba sake boka, goto ira na sie tu sa qai lao kole memeai na tubuna.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22Ego tonai sa mate sa na tinoni vavaivasevina, sa qai kamu tonia ira na mateana sisa, ko sa lao toqo kekeria i Ebarahami sisa ko sa somana teteku pa vavolo pa noka. Ko na tinoni isisongo ba sa mate tugu, sa tagolomo sisa.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Totonai sa kole suvere vitigi pa heli poni sa enga sae poni sa batia i Ebarahami pa souna tu beto i Lazarasi sa korapa pa keketaina.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24Poni sa kuku viviva sisa, pira sau, <Kei, Ebarahami, tamaqu! Mu roroqu tokanisiu. Mu garunia i Lazarasi ko mi totunia pa pie sa na kakarusuna gu, ko mi lame valomosia na meaqu, ura qa vaivasevi na vitigi sara pa iku api!> sau.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.’

25Poni pira sau si Ebarahami, <Tuqu, mu roroqua mai sisa totonai na toamu ao. Qu isongo betoria ao sira na sakasava jojongadi, goto i Lazarasi sa sa suvere vaivasevi sa totonai. Ba kopira sa suvere qeqera sisa, goto ao sa qu suvere vitigi.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.

26Ko nake sakasava ira gu mekadi sa! Goto kai oqili loluna na revatana jola tugu vei sa sa kole pa vaikorapaida gita, ko ira mai nyogua karovo ko mai lao ketakoi tamugou marigu sa maike boka, beto ko ira mai nyogua karovo lame pa tamigei lani marigu sa maike boka,> sau.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.’

27Poni pira sau sa na tinoni isisongo, <Ego mina vei sa, kei Ebarahami tamaqu, qa tepa vivitigigo ara sao ko mu garunu laonia gu pa ruma tana tamaqu si Lazarasi ina!‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28Ka lima sira na tasiqu marene qai korapa ketakoi. Mu pojania i Lazarasi ko mi lao poja vaneneqiniria, kita mai lame pa ia sa kolea na vitigi lani,> sau.for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29Poni sa paranga si Ebarahami, <Na kukuti ti Mosese beto ko tadira na tinoni kokorotai sa qai korapa koledia, ko mai vainongoro lao gu tadira sira,> sau sisa.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30Poni pira sau sa na tinoni isisongo, <Dai, Ebarahami, tamaqu! Vei mina toa mule tu pa mate sa kai tinoni ko mina mule lao vavakato vaniria sa kode mai nongoria, ko mai gabala loaria sira na dia sela,> sau sisa.‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31Poni pira sau si Ebarahami, <Vei maike nyorogua nongoria ira sa na kukuti tai Mosese beto tadira na tinoni kokorotai, poni sa vei mina toa mule tugu pa mate sa kai tinoni ko mina mule lao, ba kode mai daidia tugu vasosoto!> sau,>> sau si Jisu.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.’”
