Luke 16 (MNI) · Opened

1Jisuna pandam asimasu mahakki tung-inbasingda hairak-i, “Kanagumba inakhunba nupa amagi thabak asin-arang touba nupa ama leirammi. Amasung mahakki asin arang touba nupa asina mahakki maran mathum manghalle haiduna inakhunba nupa aduda kanagumba amana tamlammi.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Maram aduna mahakna thabak asin-arang touba nupa adubu kouraduna hairak-i, ‘Eina nanggi maramda taribasi karino? Nahakna yumgi thabak asin arang toubagi chaga-chading pumnamak piyu maramdi nahak makha-tana eigi asin aran touba mi oiba yararoi.’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.’

3Maduda thabak asin arang touba nupa aduna mathanta khanjarammi, ‘Eina houjik kari tougani? Eigi mapu asina eibu thabaktagi louthoklagani. Leibak touba ngambagi panggalsu eingonda leite aduga nibasu ikaijei.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.

4Um! Houjikti mana eibu thabaktagi louthoklaba tungda misingna eibu makhoi makhoigi mayumda lousinbinanaba eina kari tougadage haibadu ei khangle.’I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5Maram aduna mahakna mahakki mapugi lal tonba makhoi khudingmakpu kourammi. Aduga mahakna ahanba aduda hanglak-i, ‘Nahakna Ibungogi lal kaya yamna tollibage?’And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Nupa aduna khumlak-i, ‘Chorphon thao gallon chanipan tolli.’ Maduda mahakna nupa aduda haikhi, ‘Nahakki ayiba che adu sida leire, thuna phamthaduna madu chamari yangkheida oihallo.’‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Adudagi mahakna atoppa amada amuk hanglak-i, ‘Aduga nahakkina kaya tollibage?’ Nupa aduna khumlak-i, ‘Gehu bora lising amamuk tolli.’ Maduna mahakna nupa aduda haikhi, ‘Nahakki ayiba che adu sida leire, madu nahakna chanipanda oihallo.’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.

8Madugi mahei oina mapu aduna pukchel sengdaba thabak asin arang touba nupa adubu asigumba heisingba thabak asigidamak thagatlammi. Maramdi taibangpan asigi machasingna makhoigi mirol asida mangalgi machasingdagi henna sing-i.”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.

9Eina nakhoida hairibasini, asumna nakhoina taibangpanbagi lan thum sijinnaduna nakhoi nasagidamak marup semmu aduga langi kanapham leitraba matam aduda makhoina nakhoibu lomba naidaba yumda lousinbigani.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Khajiktada thajaba yaba mahak adu ayambadasu thajaba yabani aduga khajiktada pukchel sengdaba mahak adu ayambadasu pukchel sengdabani.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.

11Aduga nakhoina taibangpanba asigi lan-thum sijinnabada thajaba yaba oidrabadi kanana nakhoida asengba lan adu sinnabada thajagadage?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Aduga atoppa misinggi lanthumda nakhoibu thajaba yaba oidrabadi kanana nakhoida nasagi oiba lan-thum pibigani?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13“Minai kananasu mapu anigi thougal touba ngamde. Maramdi mahakna amabu tukachagani aduga amabuna nungsigani nattraga amabu luna ningjaraga amabuna thaoiroi. Nakhoina Tengban Mapu amadi lan animakpu punna thougal touba ngamloi.”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.”

14Pharisee-singna masi pumnamaksing asi tabada makhoina Jisubu noknarammi maramdi makhoi sel-thumda ngaojarammi.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Maduda Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Nakhoina misinggi mamangda achumba chatpa sasinnei adubu Tengban Mapuna nakhoigi thamoi khang-i. Maramdi misingna mamal leina loujaba potsaksing adu Tengban Mapugi mityengdadi tukkachaningaini.”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“Baptize toubiba Johngi matam adu phaoba Moses-ki wayel yathangsing amadi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichousinggi wa adu sandoklammi. Adubu houjikti Tengban Mapu leibakki aphaba pao adu sandokli aduga mipum khudingna maduda changnanaba hotnari.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.

17Wayel yathanggi khwaidagi pikpa saruk ama mangkhibadagidi swarga amadi malem taibangpan mangkhibana henna lai.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.

18“Kanagumba nupa amana mahakki nupibu khainaraga atoppa nupi amaga luhonglabadi mahakna lannabagi thabak tou-i; aduga mapuroibaga khainarabi nupi louba nupa adusu lannabagi thabak tourabani.”Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19“Matam amada atangba masaknaiba mangra machu amadi mugamanbigi phirol setpa kanagumba inak-khunba nupa ama leirammi. Mahakna matam pumba awatpa leitana nungai yaiphana pallammi.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Aduga mahakki thongalda Lazarus kouba masa pumba patpa lairaba nupa amasu hiptuna leirammi.And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Mahakna Inak-khunba nupa adugi chanaba phandagi tarakpa acha athak makup matasing adu chajanaba asha toujarammi. Aduga huisingna laktuna mahakki apatpa adu leklammi.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22Adudagi nongma lairaba nupa adu sirammi amasung swargadutsingna mahakpu Abrahamgi mathada pukhre. Aduga inak-khunba nupa adusu siraduna phumle.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Amasung khamnung leibakta mahakna awaba khangduna mathakta yengkhatpa matamda thapna Abraham amasung mahakki nakanda Lazarus leiba urammi.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24Maduda inak-khunba nupa aduna laorak-i, ‘Ipa Abraham! Eibu nungsibiyu aduga Lazarus-na mahakki khudombi isingda luptuna eigi irei asibu ingthahanbinaba mahakpu thabirak-u, maramdi meiri marak asida ei yamna ware.’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.’

25Adubu Abrahamna khumlak-i, ‘Ningsing-u ichanupa, nahakna hinglingei matamda aphaba pot pumnamak phangkhi aduga Lazarus-nadi phattaba pumnamak phangkhi. Adubu mahakna houjikti mapham asida nungngaiba phangle aduga nahakna awa meichak khangli.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.

26Pumnamak asigi mathakta mapham asidagi nakhoigi manakta chatningba misingna chatpa ngamdanaba aduga mapham adudagi eikhoigi inakta lakningbasingna lakpa ngamdananaba lukhraba kom ama lei.’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.’

27Maduda inak-khunba nupa aduna hairak-i, ‘Adu oirabadi eina nangonda haijari, Ipa Abraham, nahakna Lazaras-pu eigi ipagi yumda thabiyu.‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28Maramdi eigi ichin-inao manga lei, aduga makhoina awa meichakki mapham asida laktananaba makhoida mahakna cheksin-wa haihanbiyu.’for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29Abraham-na hairak-i, ‘Nahakki nachin-nanaosinggi maphamda cheksin wa hainabagidamak Moses amasung Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichousing lei, makhoigi wa adu nahakki nachin-nanaosingna tasanu.’But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30Inak-khunba nupa aduna khumlak-i, ‘Natte ipa Abraham, madukhaktanadi yaroi! Adubu asibasinggi maraktagi kanagumba amana makhoida chatlabadi makhoina paptagi pukning honggani.’‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31Adubu Abrahamna mangonda hairak-i, ‘Makhoina Moses amadi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichousinggi wa tadrabadi kanagumbana sibadagi hinggatlabasu makhoibu thajahanba ngamloi.’ ”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.’”
