Yesu nkeerelha owiittucha awe, “Ahaawo ntu o nhakhu aari ni akarani o ipilhi yo weemelhelha nhakhu awe. Nkaahimeriya wiira akarani ayo aari alhiaka pufia nhakhu awe uyo.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus also said to His disciples,
“There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
2
MGH2016
Paahi nkeehana ni weerelha, ‘Urini anaa, malhove kineewa aka alha? Nkaalhakelheke etu nhakhu aka, ukhalhawaya khanrina tho ipilhi yo ukhalha akarani aka.’
BSB
BSB:
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.’
3
MGH2016
Akarani nkayeechiirelha aneneru, ‘Anene ntheko alha ankelha ukithurulha ipilhi aka. Kiireke chani vano etu? Akooriaka ulhima, koonaka ishoni unlhepelha ntu.
BSB
BSB:
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.
4
MGH2016
Aye, kihochuwelha cho wiira! Vanohalha aka uhiihiya ipilhi aka munthekoni vawo, kinowa kaapatta manyampwana o kipochera mii mmanupani mwaya.’
BSB
BSB:
I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
5
MGH2016
“Paahi nkeehana attu onkhaye aashimihiye nchurukhu ni anene ntheko. Nkaakoha o upacha, ‘Ana mwaashimme nchurukhu nchani?’
BSB
BSB:
And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
6
MGH2016
Nkaakhulha, ‘Mapipa imia o makhura o uto, maalhakelhiyo ayo alha vaa.’ Akarani nkayeera, ‘Nkhalheke nlhepeke wiira yaari makhumi nthanu.’
BSB
BSB:
‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
7
MGH2016
Nkankoha nkina, ‘Haya ni inyu mwaashimme nchani?’ Nkaakhulha, ‘Kaashimme mirupa imia imoka cho ngaano. Maalhakelhiyo ayo phi alha vaa.’ Nkeerelhiya ni uyo, ‘Nlhepeke wiira yaari mirupa makhumi nane.’
BSB
BSB:
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.

MGH2016
“Paahi etu, anene ntheko ayo nkayaapuhiha yayo akarani o ipilhi o uhilhoka ayo wo irusho chaarina aya. Ukhalhawaya attu o velhaponi ari o upenya waapwaha attu o nthuko.”
BSB
BSB:
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.
9
MGH2016
Yesu nkoolhumacha tho, “Ni mii kinowiirelhani wiira, mpangeke umpwana ni nhakhu wo mwiilhaponi, vanohalha aya umalha vawo, mmwe mwaapocheriya mu nihema no mahuku o uhimalha.” Vavawo nkeerelha, “Mwaatti nneepanga orera nrima mwaattuni, nansho Nlhuku achuwelhaka mirima chinyu. Ukhalhawaya ittu inoonia uteelha waattuni, Nlhuku noona wiira phiri yo uhilhoka.
BSB
BSB:
I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.
10
MGH2016
Ntu riyoothe nokhulhuvelhiya wo makani nowa ukhulhuvelhiya wo chittu chuulhupalhe, ntu hinokhulhuvelhiya wo makani, khanowa aakhulhuvelhiya wo chittu chulhupalhe.
BSB
BSB:
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.
11
MGH2016
Mwaahirumelhelhiyeke wo chittu cho mwiilhaponi, nnohalha ukhulhuvelhiya chani etu wo nhakhu we ikekhiaye?
BSB
BSB:
So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
12
MGH2016
Vavawo mwaahiphwanelheke munhakhuni mwa ntu nkina, mpani etu nohalha uuvahani ittu?”
BSB
BSB:
And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
13
MGH2016
“Khaawo namitheko nooria waatumikelha ashinene ntheko elhi, apangaka chiicho, nowa unvenga mmoka ni unttuna akina ama nookhulhuvelhiya wa ntu mmoka ni uhikhulhuvelhiya wa ntu nkina. Khannoria ukaviha ntheko wa Nlhuku ni nhakhu vamoka.”
BSB
BSB:
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.”
14
MGH2016
Amafarisayo veewilhe aya chaahimiya ni Yesu, nkaayaathunalhacha wo nlhatu no uttuna nchurukhu chinene.

The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
15
MGH2016
Yesu nkeerelhacha, “Mwaatti phi inyu nneepanga attu o nrima woombone mwaattuni, nansho Nlhuku achuwelhaka uwonya winyu. Ukhalhawaya chittu chinoonia wiira phi chorera mwaattuni chechiyo phi cho uhilhoka wa Nlhuku.
BSB
BSB:
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.
16
MGH2016
“Malhehero a ashinna Musa ni malhove alhepiye ni anamilhohi chaari chihimiyaka mpaka ikatema i Nayohana Obatiiza, ukhuma vavawo, Malhove Orera o Imwene ya Nlhuku phi nohimiachiya, ni kila ntu akelhaka wo machiri.
BSB
BSB:
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.
17
MGH2016
Nansho vari vowaalhuwa irimu ni ilhapo uvira, upwaha inakhalhaka nlhove nimoka nilhepiye no Malhehero ufutiya.
BSB
BSB:
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.

amirelhaka ishenye cholhia chaamoramora vamezani va ntu o nhakhu ulhe. Ni ashipwa aari awaaka alhathaka makhwata awe.

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.’
25

“Nansho Aburahimu nkayaakhulha, ‘Muupuwelheke anaka, wiira vaari inyu akumi valhe mwaari mpuhaka chinene, Nalazaro ahuvaka. Nansho vano uno ari mumpuhani, ni inyu nhuvaka.
BSB
BSB:
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.
26
MGH2016
Inakhalhaka chiicho, variyari ihu hii ni inyu mwaatti, vari nlhikiti nulhupalhe, khavanooria ntu uwa uno ni attu o uno uwa wowo.’
BSB
BSB:
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.’
27
MGH2016
Ntu aari o nhakhu ulhe nkeera, ‘Kinolhepelha etu pwiiya wiira, mwaarume Nalazaro ayo arwee uwannyaka wa athumwanaka,
