Luke 16 (MSY2020)

1Egha Iesus kamaghɨn uan suren gumazibav gei, “Dughiar mamɨn dagɨaba bar avɨrasemezir gumazir mam, an ingangarir gumazibar dapanim iti. Ezɨ an ingangarir gumaziba a mɨgɨa ghaze, ‘Nɨn gumazir dapanim nɨn dagɨaba pura da makuri.’Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Ezɨ an an diazɨ an aven ghuzɨma an an azangsɨsi, ‘Nɨ bizir tizim gamizɨ kɨ nɨ baraki? Nɨ uan ingangarimɨn aven nɨ amizir bizibar gun mɨgeir akɨnafarim na danɨngigh. Ezɨ bizir kam bagh nɨ ua gumazir dapanimɨn ikian kogham.’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“Ezɨ gumazibar dapanim uabɨra uabɨ mɨgei, ‘Nan gumazir ekiam, nan ingangarimɨn na gɨvazɨma, kɨ manmaghɨn damuam? Egha kɨ nguazim gɨkuamin gavgaviba puvatɨgha, biziba bagh azangsɨghan aghumsɨki.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.

4Ezɨ kɨ fo, kɨ manmaghɨn damuam, nan gumazir ekiam ingangarimɨn na gɨvaghtɨma, gumazamiziba na mɨkɨmtɨma kɨ men dɨpenibar mangam.’I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5“A fo, gumazamizir maba pura gumazir ekiamɨn biziba ini, me tɨghar an biziba ua da ikarvagham. Ezɨ a gumazamizir kaba vaghvagha men deima me aven zui. Ezɨ a faragha zuimɨn azara, ‘Nɨ manmaghɨn nan gumazir ekiam da biziba ini?’And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Ezɨ a kamaghɨn mɨgɨa ghaze, ‘Kɨ 800pla dram wel ini.’ Ezɨ gumazir dapanim kamaghɨn a mɨgɨa ghaze, ‘Nɨ uan akɨnafarim inigh zuamɨra daperagh 400 osirigh.’‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Egha a ua mavɨn azara, ‘Nɨ manmaghɨn nan gumazir ekiam da biziba ini?’ Ezɨ a ghaze, ‘100 bek plaua.’ Ezɨ a kamaghɨn a mɨgei, ‘Nɨ uan akɨnafarim inighɨva 80 osirigh.’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.

8“Nguazir kamɨn gumazamiziba me amir ingangariba me bar dagh fo. Egha angazangarimɨn itir gumazamiziba bar me gafira. Ezɨ kamaghɨn gumazir ekiam gumazir dapanim amizir arazim gɨfogha, gumazir dapanir kurar kamɨn ziam fe. A gumazir nɨghnɨzir aghuim itimɨn arazim gami.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“Kɨ ia mɨgei, ia nguazir kamɨn dagɨar kuram, gumazamizibar akurvagh me ko namakabar amu. Eghtɨ dughiar da gɨvamim otoghtɨ, God nɨ inightɨ nɨ mangɨ ikɨ mamaghɨra ikiamin nguibamɨn mangam.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“Egh tina bizir doziba deraghavɨra dar gari, a uaghan bizir ekiaba deraghvɨra dar ganam. Egha tina deraghavɨra bizir dozibar garir puvatɨ, a uaghan bizir ekiaba deraghavɨra dar ganan kogham.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.

11Egh ia nguazir kamɨn dagɨar kuram deragh an ganan koghtɨma, tina guizbangɨn biziba ia danɨngtɨ ia dar ganam?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Egh ia gumazir igharazimɨn biziba deraghvɨra dar ganan koghtɨma, tina ian biziba ia danɨngam?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13“Ingangarir gumazitam o amizitam, gumazir ekiar pumuning bagh ingaran kogham. A tavɨn aghuagh, tav gifuegham. O, a tav baghvɨra ikɨ, tav akɨrim a gasaragham. Ia God ko dagɨaba bagh uaghara ingaran kogham.”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.”

14Farisin dagɨaba bagha bar ikuviziba bizir kaba baregha Iesusɨn garav mɨnbaba sighsiravɨra iti.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Ezɨ a kamaghɨn me mɨgei, “Ia gumazamizibar damazibar bizibagh amua ghaze ia dera. Ezɨ God ian nɨghnɨzibagh fo. Ezɨ bizir gumazamiziba gari men damazibar bar deraziba, da Godɨn damazimɨn bar ikufi.”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.

16Egha Iesus ua kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Moses Osirizir Araziba ko Godɨn akam inigha izir gumaziba akam akura mamaghɨra ikia, ghua Jonɨn dughiamɨn tu. Ezɨ dughiar kamɨn, Jon God Bizibagh Ativamin Dughiamɨn Akar Aghuim akuri. Ezɨ gumazamiziba bar moghɨra dughiar kamɨn aven mangasa uari ghasaghasagha uari munakuri.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.

17Nguazim ko overiam gɨvagham. Eghtɨ God Osizirir Arazibar akar otevitam, mɨseveghɨrɨghan kogham.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“Ezɨ nɨ gumazir manam uan amuim ategha amizir igharazimɨn ikɨ mati, nɨ amizir munamɨn mɨkarzim okeme. Ezɨ nɨ gumazir manam nɨ amizir me ikegha taghizimɨn iti, nɨ uaghan amizimɨn mɨkarzim okeme.”Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19Iesus ua kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Dughiar mamɨn, gumazir dagɨaba avɨrasemezir mam iti. Egha a korotiar bar aghuir aghevim arugha dagher aghuiba ikia zurara isabagh amua da apa mamaghɨra iti.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Ezɨ an tiar akamɨn, gumazir puv biziba bagha azangsɨzir mam, duaba bar a gizɨvazɨma a irɨghav iti, an ziam Lasarus.And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Egha a gumazir dagɨaba avɨrasemezir kamɨn dagher otevir dakozimɨn apengan suaghiriba, a dar amasa gara iti. Ezɨ afiaba uaghan izava an duaba ozɨsi.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22“Ezɨ gumazir puv biziba bagha azangsɨzim aremeghamin dughiam otozɨma, an areme. Ezɨ enselba a inigha ghua Abrahamɨn mɨn anetɨ. Ezɨ gumazir dagɨaba avɨrasemezim uaghan aremezɨ me anefa.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Ezɨ a Gumazamizir Oveaghuezibar Nguibamɨn ikia mɨzazir kuram isi. Egha a kogha pɨn garava Abrahamɨn garima, a bar saghon itima Lasarus an mɨn iti.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24Egha an Abrahamɨn dei, ‘Afeziam Abraham, nan apangkufigh. Kɨ mɨzazim isava avimɨn iti. Ezɨ nɨ bizir kam bagh Lasarus amadaghtɨma, a uan dafarir puzim dɨpam darugh nan mɨzem orangigh.’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“Ezɨ Abraham an dɨmdiam ikaragha ghaze, ‘Otarim, nɨ bizir kam uam a ginɨrɨgh, nɨ angamɨra itir dughiamɨn, nɨ bizir aghuiba iti. Ezɨ Lasarus bizir kuraba iti. Ezɨ a datɨrɨghɨn kagh deraghavɨra itima nɨ mɨzazir kuram isi.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.

26Ezɨ ua bizir mam, ga ko no en tɨzimɨn, ruzir konim e abɨki. Ezɨ te kagh ikegh nɨ bagh mangɨsɨ iburagham, o tina magh ikegh kagh izɨsɨ iburagham.’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“Ezɨ dagɨaba avɨrasemezir gumazim Abrahamɨn akam pamtemɨn a ikaragha ghaze, ‘Kɨ aveghbuar 5pla iti. Kamaghɨn amizɨ, Afeziam, kɨ pamtemɨn nɨn azangsɨsi, Lasarus amadaghtɨma a nan afeziamɨn dɨpenimɨn mangɨ. Egh me mɨkemeghtɨ, me kɨ itir nguibar mɨzaziba isir kamɨn izan markɨ.’‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

29“Ezɨ Abraham an akam ikaragha ghaze, ‘Moses ko Godɨn akam inigha izir gumazibar osiziriba iti. Eghtɨ me men akaba baragh.’But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30“Ezɨ a kamaghɨn Abraham mɨgei, ‘Puvatɨ, Afeziam. Gumazir ovengezitam ua dɨkavigh me bagh mangɨtɨma, me navibagh iragham.’‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31“Ezɨ Abraham kamaghɨn a mɨgei, ‘Me Moses ko Godɨn akam inigha izir gumazibar akaba baraghan koghtɨma, tav aremegh ua dɨkavigh izɨ me mɨkɨmtɨma, me uaghan nɨghnɨzir gavgavim an akabar ikian kogham.’ ”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.’”
