Luke 16 (ROW) · Opened

1Basa ma, Yesus dui seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ esa fee neu ana dedꞌenu nara nae, “Hambu atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ esa fee ue-tataos neu atahori mana dadꞌi eni malangga mana tao ues na. Te dodꞌoo ma malangga rena mbasiꞌ nae, malangga mana tao-ues naa nae podꞌe-padꞌi naꞌarurunggiꞌ e.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Dadꞌi ana noꞌe malangga mana tao-ues, de nafadꞌe nae, ‘Ho ia, taꞌo bee? Au rena nggo akaꞌ podꞌe-padꞌiꞌ au hata-heto ngga. De ia naa muu suraꞌ ue-tataom ra fo au paresaꞌ dei. Te basa na, au ae nda pake nggo sa ena.’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.’

3Rena taꞌo naa ma, malangga mana tao ues duꞌa neu-nema nae, ‘Au soe ena! Oras ia au ae tao saa? Tatati rae o, au nda bꞌeꞌi sa. Dadꞌi mana hule-huleꞌ o, au mae.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.

4Mete ma au nda tao ues sia ia sa, au musi sangga dalaꞌ, fo ona bee na atahori laen ra nau simbo au.’I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5Huu naa, ana noꞌe nala basa atahori mana rahuta malangga a. De natane atahori ka esan nae, ‘Wae! Muhuta baꞌu saa neu malangga ngga?’And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Atahori naa nataa nae, ‘Au uhuta mina saitun liter rifon haa.’ Boe ma malangga mana tao ues a nae, ‘Tebꞌe. Ho susura hutam sie. Ia naa sika hendi leo, basa na endoꞌ fo suraꞌ lai-lai susura huta feuꞌ fai mae, ho muhuta liter rifon ruaꞌ a.’‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Basa de neu natane atahori karuan nae, “Muhuta malangga ngga baꞌu saa fai?’ Ma nataa nae, ‘Au uhuta are karon rifon esa.’ De malangga mana tao ues a denu e nae, ‘Sika hendi susura hutaꞌ mbaraaꞌ naa leo, fo suraꞌ feuꞌ mae, karon natun faluꞌ a.’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.

8Ana tao taꞌo naa, losa malanggan bubꞌuluꞌ tataon. Te malangga musi nataa nae malangga mana tao-ues deꞌulakaꞌ ia memaꞌ masiꞌet. Naa! Au ufadꞌe nekendandaaꞌ ia fo mihine mae, mete ma naꞌasasamaꞌ no atahori mamahereꞌ, atahori nda mamahereꞌ sa memaꞌ masiꞌet lenaꞌ sia rau-inggu ra taladꞌa nara aleꞌ ia.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.

9Dadꞌi hei duꞌa sobꞌa. Onaꞌ mae atahori raefafoꞌ tao manggenggeoꞌ rendiꞌ hata-heto nara, te malole lenaꞌ pake hata-heto raefafo mara fo tulu-fali atahori. No taꞌo naa, hei o hambu toronooꞌ hetar. Mae hata-hetoꞌ naa basa, te dei fo Lamatuaꞌ sadꞌia hela mamanaꞌ fee nggi sia sorga.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Mete ma atahori tao dꞌala anaꞌ ra tungga ndoon, na, ana o tao dꞌala monaeꞌ ra tungga ndoon boe. Te mete ma atahori pode-padꞌi ro dꞌala anaꞌ ra, na, ana pode-padꞌi no dalaꞌ monae ra boe.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.

11Mete ma atahori nda ramahere hei lole-lau hata-heto biasa no dala-dala anak ra sia raefafoꞌ ia, onaꞌ bee fo Lamatuaꞌ namahere nggi sia dꞌala monaeꞌ fai?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Mete ma hei nda bisa mete-seꞌu atahori laen hata-heton sa, na, seka mbarani fee hei hata-hetoꞌ?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13Mana dedꞌenuꞌ esa nda bisa rena malangga rua sa. Huu dei fo ralan mburu-oeꞌ no esa, ma sue esa. Ana naꞌatataaꞌ no esa, te nda tao afiꞌ neu esa ka sa. Hei onaꞌ naa boe, atahori nda bisa sue Lamatualain ma sue dꞌoiꞌ sa.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.”

14Leleꞌ naa, hambu atahori Farisi hira tungga rena Yesus oꞌolan naa. De ara raneneut E, huu ara dꞌale dꞌoiꞌ.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Te Yesus nataa nae, “Wei! Mae hei tao mimeu ao mara sia atahori mata nara, te Lamatualain nahine rala mara deꞌulakaꞌ. Hambu dalaꞌ naeꞌ fo atahori soꞌu rananaru, tao-tao te Lamatualain nae naa ra dꞌala deꞌulakaꞌ, de melumudꞌu se.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.

16Losa Yohanis Mana Saraniꞌ neneman, hita atahori Yahudi tasodꞌa tungga baꞌi Musa no Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-ola nara hohoro-lalanen. Te ia naa Lamatuaꞌ Hara-Lii malolen nenedꞌui-bꞌenggaꞌ sia bee-bꞌee ena. Atahori hetar sangga dalaꞌ rakandooꞌ a fo masodꞌa nara tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun.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.

17Mae lalai no raefafoꞌ sambulalo o, Lamatualain hohoro-lalanen mbei o nda mopo sa boe, titiꞌ-koma sa boe o nda mopo sa!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.

18Atahori mana mahelaꞌ no saon, basa ma sao seluꞌ no inaꞌ laen, ana hohongge. Boe ma seka sao no inaꞌ fo mana mahelaꞌ no saon, ana o hohongge boe.”Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19Yesus dui seluꞌ nekendandaaꞌ sa nae, “Hambu atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ sa. Ana hiiꞌ a pake bꞌua-baꞌu meulauꞌ nenetaoꞌ mia teme meulauꞌ. Hatuꞌ-rerelon naa-ninu maladꞌa-maladꞌaꞌ, ma maꞌaheeꞌ a sosoa aon.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Sia naa hambu atahori mana tudꞌa-loloeꞌ sa, Naran Lasarus. Aon sofeꞌ no bisu maꞌafoꞌ. Fai-fai esa na nonoo nara ro e nisiꞌ atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ a umen lesu matan.And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Ana hii nae naa atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ a nanaa sisa nara, te ana nda hambu saa sa boe. Akaꞌ busa ra reu dadꞌalo bisu nara nanan.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22Basa ma, Lasarus mate, de Lamatualain ate nara mia sorga rema haꞌi rendi e, de raeꞌendo e sia baꞌi Abraham bobꞌoan. Nda dooꞌ sa ma atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ a o mate boe, de atahori ra raꞌoi e.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Ana nda sorga neu sa, te ana masoꞌ naraka neu, naꞌabꞌue no atahori mana mateꞌ hetar. Sia naa ana hambu huku-dokiꞌ ma dꞌoidosoꞌ nakandooꞌ a. Lao esa, ana botiꞌ matan ma nita Lasarus endoꞌ namahoꞌo sia baꞌi Abraham bobꞌoan.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24Boe ma ana randu nahereꞌ nae, ‘Baꞌi Abraham, e! Kasian au dei! Denu Lasarus dꞌombo lima uꞌun neu oe, fo sadꞌi nema tao naꞌadꞌoe maa tonggo ngga o malole. Huu au doidꞌoso aeꞌ a mate ena sia naraka ia!’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.’

25Te Abraham nataa nae, ‘Naa! Ana ngge! Musunedꞌa malolole dꞌei. Faiꞌ naa, leleꞌ musodꞌa sia raefafoꞌ, hambu mala basa maloleꞌ ra. Te Lasarus hambu akaꞌ sususaꞌ a. Dadꞌi ia naa Lamatuaꞌ fee ne namahoꞌo sia ia, ma doidꞌoso muu naa.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.

26Lelenan fai, mia ho e nisiꞌ ia nema, Lamatuaꞌ tadꞌa hita no ndola romaꞌ, de atahori sia ia nda bisa naa reu sa, ma atahori sia naa nda bisa ia rema sa.’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.’

27Boe ma atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ a noꞌe nae, ‘Mete ma taꞌo naa, na, baꞌiꞌ tulun denu Lasarus neu sia ama ngga umen dꞌei.‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28Huu sia naa feꞌe hela odꞌi tou nggara atahori lima. Denu Lasarus neu nafadꞌe se, fo ara baliꞌ risiꞌ Lamatua, naa fo ara mate, na, ara afi risiꞌ mamana doidꞌosoꞌ ia.’for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29Te Abraham nataa nae, ‘Lamatualain fee se baꞌi Musa ma mana ola-olaꞌ ra susura nara ena. Odꞌi mara bisa baca rasafafali se, fo ara rahine Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun.’But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30Te atahori mamasuꞌiꞌ a nareresi nae, ‘Baꞌi Abraham, e! Naa nda feꞌe dai sa, huu ara nda tao-afiꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ Hara-Liin sa! Musi hambu atahori mates ra dea rema mia rates fo reu rafadꞌe se, fo ara feꞌe rae rena ena, fo ramahere ma doaꞌ.’‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31Te Abraham nataa nae, ‘Mete ma ara nda nau rena baꞌi Musa no Lamatuaꞌ mana ola-ola nara dedꞌea-oꞌolan nara sa, na, mae atahori mana mateꞌ ra dea rema mia rates fo reu olaꞌ ro se o, ara nda rena sa boe.’”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.’”
