Luke 16 (TDX) · Opened

1Tinovo’e ty hoe amo mpiama’eo: Teo ty mpañaleale nitalilieñe te nandritse ty vara’e ty mpamandro-panaña’e.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Aa le kinanji’e naho nanoa’e ty hoe: Akore ze o tsinanoko ty ama’o zao? Volilio o famandroña’oo, fa tsy ho mpamandroñe ka.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.’

3Le hoe ty fitsakorea’ i mpamandroñey: Inom-barè ty hanoeko kanao hafaha’ i talekoy amy famandroñakoy? Tsy lefeko ty miava, naho manalats’ ahy ty mangatake.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.

4Inao arè ty hanoeko, soa te, ie navìk’ ami’ty maha mpamandroñe ahy, le mbe ho rambese’ iereo añ’ anjomba ao.I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5Aa le songa kinanji’e homb’ama’e ze nisongo amy talè’ey, le hoe ty asa’e amy valoha’ey: Fire ty songo’o amy talèko?And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Le hoe re: Solike zato fañaranañe. Le hoe re ama’e: Masika! rambeso o takelan-tsongo’oo le miambesara, sokiro ty hoe: limampolo.‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Le hoe ka re ami’ty raike: Fire ty songo’o? le hoe re: Ampemba zato gony. Hoe ka ty asa’e: Ingo, rambeso o takela’oo, le valom-polo ty isorata’o.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.

8Aa le rinenge’ i bei’ey i mpamandroñe tsy jefa’ey, amy t’ie nampiboake hilala; toe mahilala amy tarira’ey o ana’ ty voatse toio te amo anan-kazavañeo.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.

9Le hoe iraho ama’ areo: Paiao rañetse arè amo vara tsy vokatseo, soa te ie milesa, ro mbe ho rambeseñe amo anjomba nainai’eo amy hamodoañey.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Ze vañom-po ami’ty kede, ho vañom-po ami’ty bey; ze tsy to ami’ty kede tsy ho to ami’ty bey.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.

11Aa naho tsy malili-po amo vara tsy vokatseo nahareo, ia ty hampamandroñe anahareo o vente’eo.So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Le ie tsy vañoñe ami’ty vara’ ondaty, ia ty hanolots’ anahareo ty anahareo?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13Tsy eo ty mpitoroñe maha-fitoron-droe; ho heje’e ty raike vaho hikokoa’e ty raike; ke ho rañete’e ty raike vaho ho rihie’e ty raike. Tsy mahafitoroñe an’ Andrianañahare naho o varao nahareo.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.”

14Ie nahajanjiñe i hoe zay o Fariseoo, kanao mpitea-drala, le nikizak’ aze.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Aa hoe ty nanoa’e: Mpaniom-batañe am’ ondatio nahareo; fe arofoanan’ Añahare ty arofo’ areo, amy te ze atao’ ondatio ho vara ro tiva am-pivazohoan’ Añahare.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.

16Pak’ amy Jaona naho o Mpitokio t’i Hake; namototse henane zay le tseizeñe i Fifehean’Añaharey, vaho fonga mifanisike hizilik’ ao;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.

17haivañe ty hihelaña’ i likerañey naho ty tane toy ta ty hamaohañe ndra ty pininìten-tsokitse amy Hake ao.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.

18Ze mañary valy hañenga ty hafa ro mañarapilo; vaho mañarapilo ka ty mañenga rakemba narian-dahy.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19Teo ty mpañaleale, mpisaron-tsarimbo malò-mavo naho leny matify, niaiñañoleñañe an-kafalefaleañe handro an-kandro.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Teo ka ty rarake atao Lazarosy, atseke bae, nakonenak’ añ’ila’ ty lalambei’e eo,And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21le naina’e te hitsimoke ty nifitafita am-pandambaña’ i mpañalealey, te mone o amboao ro nomb’ ama’e nitsela o bae’eo.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22Ie nihomake i rarakey, le nente’ ty anjely mb’añ’araña’ i Abraàme añe; nihomake ka i mpañalealey, le nalenteke.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Ie nanoen-tsamporerak’ an-tanen-dolo ao i mpañalealey le niandra vaho nahatalake i Abraàme rekets’ i Lazarosy añ’araña’e eo,In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24vaho nikoiha’e ty hoe: O aba, Abraàme, tretrezo, ehe ampihitrifo t’i Lazarosy handò ty lengon-drambo-pità’e an-drano hampanintsiñe ty lelako; fa loho malovilovy iraho añ’afo mirebareba atoy.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.’

25Fa hoe ty natoi’ i Abraàme: O anake, tiahio te hene niazo’o o raha fanjakao ihe mbe niveloñe, fa raty ka ty niazo’ i Lazarosy; ohoñen-dre henaneo te ihe malovilovy.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.

26Likoare’ i hoe zay, najadoñe añivon-tikañ’ ey ty herakerake jabajaba tsy lefe ty atoy tsaheñe mb’ama’areo ao vaho tsy hahatsake mb’ama’ay mb’etoy ka ty boak’ ey.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.’

27Le hoe re: Aa naho izay ry raeko, mihalaly ama’o: ampihitrifo mb’ añ’ anjomban-draeko mb’eo,‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28fa lime ty rahalahiko hitaroñañe, tsy mone ho avy am-peh’ ohatse atoy.for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29Aa hoe t’i Abraàme tama’e: Am’ iareo t’i Mosè naho o Mpitokio; ampitsendreño.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30Le hoe ka re: Aiy! ry aba Abraàme; fa naho mb’ am’ iereo mb’eo ty mivañom-beloñe, le tsi-mete tsy hisoloho.‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31Hoe re tama’e: Naho tsy haoñe’ iereo t’i Mosè naho o Mpitokio, le tsy hahafiato ka ndra te eo ty mivañom-beloñe boak’ an-kavilasiy.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.’”
