Luke 16 (TCZCHONG)

1Jesun hiche thusim hi aseijui te aseipeh e: “Mihaotah khat ana um'in, aman neiching khat ima ma vesuiya anganse aneiye, ahin anei chinna ah akitah poi ti thulamleng ahunge.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Hijeh chun apansah pan ama chu akouvin aseitai, ‘Ipi ham nathu kajah hi? Na neichin ho sutup inlang neihin pen ajeh chu na chungthu kisei ding ahitai’” ati.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.’

3Nei chingpa akingaiton, 'Tua ipi kabol ding? tin akihoulim'in, ka pakai pan la eihaisah ahitan, lei lai dingla katha ahatpon, chule thum ding la hibanga kakiletsah e.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.

4Aphai, eihaisah tengleh loi le pai tampi kaneiya ama hon a-in'a eilhunsahna diuvin hitin bol inge,'” ati.I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5Hijeh chun apansah pa sumba jouse chu ahungkhom uva athu seitoh ahina din akoukhom sohtai. Amasapa jah a, “Ijat nabat ham?” ati.And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Mipa chun adonbut in, 'Keiman olive thao twipai dim jaget kabai' ati. Chuin neichingpan aseipeh in, 'Aman kijihna lekha hi kilah loiyin lang twipai jali jih in'” ati.‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7“'Ahileh nangin ijat nabat em?' tin anina pa adonge. 'Keiman suhlou chang lhuh sangkhat kabai,' tin ahin donbut e. Neiching pan aseijin, hin, 'lekha hi kilah inlang lhuh jaget in jih in,'” ati.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“Mihao pa chun chuche chondih lou neichingpan chingthei tah a abol chu apahcha tan ahi. Adih ahi, hiche vannoi chaten avel uva ho toh kipol ding dan hi khovah chate sangin achingjo uve.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.

9Kijildoh ding chu hiche ahi: Vannoiya nagouthil ho se hi midang phatchomna le jol le gol kisem nan mangin. Chuteng, na lei gouthil ho jouse abeisoh teng cheho chun tonsot in'a dinga na-na lem diu ahi.”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“Nangho thil neocha chunga nakitah ule, thil lentah ho chunga jong nakitah diu ahi. Amavang thil neocha chunga nakitahlou ule, mopohna lentah ho chunga jong kitah louding nahiuve.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.

11Chuleh leiset gouthil chunga tahsan naumlou leh, kon van gou dihtah chunga na tahsan dingu ham?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Chuleh midang thil chunga nakitah louleh ipi jeh a nangma thil chunga nakitahsan ding ham?”And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13“Koiman pakai ni sohna atongkop theipoi. Ajeh chu nangman khat namuda a khat na ngailut tum ding ahi; khat dinga nakiphal theng'a khat nadonda thei ahi. Nanghon Pathen le sum soh na tongkhom thei pouvin nate,” ati.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 ho, sum ngailu dehset hon, ajasoh keiyun ama chu anelpeh un ahi.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Chuin aman amaho jah a aseitai, “Jalah a miho mitmu a michonpha nahinom, ahin Pathen'in nalungthim ahei. Hiche vannoi miten ajabol chu Pathen mitmua thet umtah ahi.”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“Twilutsah John phatlai chan'a chu, Mose dan le themgao ho thuhil chu nakaihoi leuva pang anahi. Ahin, tun Pathen Lenggam Kipana Thupha chu seiphongin aum tan, chule mijouse lut ding athanom in ahi.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.

17Ahivangin danthu chu apanna umtalou tina ahipoi. Van le lei amanthah ding hi Pathen danthu neopen khat kilekhup ding sanga gamchenga baijo ahi.”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“Vetsahnan, mikhat chun ajinu ada a midang khat akichenpi le ajong'ah ahi. Chuleh koi hileh ajipan ahindasa numei kichenpi jong chu ajong'ah ahi” ati.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19Jesun aseiye, “Mihaotah khat, ponsandup le tupat ponnem kisil'a loupitah a kivon le niseh a nomsatah a um khat anaum'in ahi.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Akelkot phunga chun Lazarus kiti tiphah natna dimset, mivaicha khat aumjin ahi.And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Chutia Lazarus jong mihaopa dokhanga an lhajah ho ducha a aum laiyin, uicha ho ahung jiuvin atiphahna mun ho chu ahung leh jiuve.”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“Achainan, mivaichapa chu athitan chule Vantil te Abraham kom'a um dingin apotauve. Mihaopa jong athin avui tauve,One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23chule alhagao chu mithi ho lah a achetai. Chua athoh gentheina mun achun, Abraham gamla tah a aum chule Lazarus akom'a atou chu amun ahi.”In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24“Mihaopa chu ahung pengjah in, ‘Hepa Abraham, themkhat neilungset in! Lazarus hinsol in lang akhutjung twiyah hin delut henlang kalei hung sudap hen. Keima hiche meikong lah a hin kahesoh lheh jeng'e,’” ati.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“Ahin Abraham'in amapa jah a aseijin, 'Chapa, geldoh in, nangman nahinlai sungin nadei jouse nanei sohkeijin chule Lazarus in ima ana neipoi. Hijeh a chu tua hi ama hikom mun'a nomtah a kiumsah a nangman hesoh nathoh ahitai.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.

26Chule chuche tilouvin jong, ikikah uva hin eikhen uvah onghom lentah aum'e. Koiman hikom mun'a pat a apal galkai theilou, chule chua pat a jong keiho kom lang koiman apal galkal theilou ahi,'” ati.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“Chuin mihaopan aseikit in, 'Lungset tah in, Hepa Abraham, kapa in beh a gasol in.‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28Ajeh chu keiman sopi pasal nga kaneiye, chule ama chun hikom thoh gentheina mun'a ahung louna diuva aga gihsal ding kadeiye,' ati.for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29“Ahin Abraham'in aseipeh in, ‘Mose le Themgaohon agihsal nauve. Nasopi hon chua ipi asut u hin kisimdoh nauvinte,’” atipeh e.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30“Mihaopan adonbut kit in, ‘Ahipoi, Hepa Abraham! Koiham khat athilah a konna akisol le, achonset nauva konna lungheina anei diu chule Pathen lam'a kihei diu ahi,’” ati.‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31“Ahivangin Abraham'in aseikit in, ‘Ama hon Mose le Themgaoho thu angailou uleh, athilah a kon'in khat thoudoh jongleh ngaideh pouvinte,’” ati.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.’”
