XNJ
Yesu akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Mundu mmonga mweavi na vindu vyamahele, avi na mundu wa kuyimilila lihengu laki. Mkolo vindu ayuwini kuvya myimilila lihengu yula ipomondana vindu.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus also said to His disciples,
“There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
2
XNJ
Mkolo vindu, akamkemela myimila lihengu yula na kumkota, ‘kyani cheniyuwana? Nigana univalangila vindu vyoha, muni nakuhotola kuyimalila lihengu langu kavili.’
BSB
BSB:
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
XNJ
Myimalila lihengu yula akahololela mumtima waki, ‘Bambu wangu igana kunivinga lihengu, yati nikita kyani? Makakala ga kulima nakuhotola na kuhamba kuyupayupa ngati namngangu niwona soni.
BSB
BSB:
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.
4
XNJ
Hinu nimanyili chakukita, muni penivingiwayi lihengu, muni vandu vanikemelayi kunyumba zavi.’”
BSB
BSB:
I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
5
XNJ
“Akavakemela voha vevidayiwa vindu na bambu waki, mmonga mmonga akatumbula kumkota yula wa kutumbula. ‘Udayiwa vindu vilinga na bambu wangu?’
BSB
BSB:
And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
6
XNJ
Mwene akamyangula. ‘Makalangi kumi na mcheche ga mahuta ya mizeituni,’ Ndi myimalila lihengu yula akajova, ‘Tola balua laku lewidayiwa, tama kanyata, yandika saba.’
BSB
BSB:
‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
7
XNJ
Kangi akamkota yungi, ‘Veve wakalidayiwa vindu vilinga?’ Akayangula, ‘Magunila ga nganu miya yimonga.’ Muyimilila lihengu yula akamjovela. ‘Tola balua laku la gewidayiwa Yandika semanini.’”
BSB
BSB:
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
XNJ
“Bambu yula akamulumba myimila lihengu mwachenjili yula, muni ahengili kwa luhala. Ndava vandu va mulima uwu vana luhala neju pevihenga vindu na vandu ngati avo, kuliku vandu vevavi munkosi wa Chapanga.”
BSB
BSB:
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
XNJ
Yesu akayendelela kujova, “Nikuvajovela nyenye, mjipatila vankozi kuhuma mumashonga na vindu vya pamulima uwu, muni pevimalika, vavakemela mumatamilu gavi ga magono goha.
BSB
BSB:
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
XNJ
Mundu yoyoha mwaisadikiwa muvindu videbe, mewa yati isadikiwa muvindu vyamahele. Na yoyoha angasadikiwa muvindu videbe isadikiwa lepi muvindu vyamahele.
BSB
BSB:
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.
11
XNJ
Ngati nyenye mwisadikiwa lepi mumashonga na vindu vya pamulima, ndi yani akuvagotolela na vindu vya uchakaka?
BSB
BSB:
So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
12
XNJ
Ngati nakuhotola kusadikiwa mumashonga na muvindu vya mundu yungi, yani mweihotola kuvagotolela vindu vinu mwavene?”
BSB
BSB:
And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
13
XNJ
“Kawaka mvanda mweihotola kuvahengela vabambu vavili, muni yati amgana mmonga na kumhakalila yungi, amala yati ilongosana na mmonga na kumuvevesa yungi. Mwihotola lepi kumuhengela Chapanga na mashonga.”
BSB
BSB:
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.”
14
XNJ
Vafalisayu pevayuwini genago, vakamvevesa Yesu, ndava vene vavi vandu vakugana mashonga,
BSB
BSB:
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
15
XNJ
Yesu akavajovela, “Nyenye mujilola mwavabwina palongolo ya vandu, nambu Chapanga ayimanyili mitima yinu. Ndava chindu chechilolekana chabwina neju palongo ya vandu, kwa Chapanga chilolekana chihakau.”
BSB
BSB:
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
XNJ
“Malagizu ga Chapanga geampelii Musa na mayandiku ga valota va Chapanga gakokwiswi mbaka lukumbi lwa Yohani wa Kubatiza. Kutumbula penapo, Lilovi la Bwina la Unkosi wa Chapanga ukokoswa, na kila mundu iyingila kwa makakala.
BSB
BSB:
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.
17
XNJ
Nambu yiyeywa neju kunani kwa Chapanga na mulima kuyaga kuliku kayandiku kadebe kuhunguliwa mu Malagizu ga Musa.”
BSB
BSB:
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
XNJ
“Mundu yoyoha mweakumuleka mdala waki na kugega yungi, mwenuyo ikita ugoni na mundu yoyoha mwaakumgega, mdala mwaalekiwi yula.” Namwene mewa ikita ugoni.
BSB
BSB:
Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
19
XNJ
“Kwavili na mundu mmonga mweavi na vindu vyamahele, mwaawala nyula zezaguliwa kwa mashonga gamahele na nyula zezing'asima na kulya vindu vyabwina magono goha.”
BSB
BSB:
Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
20
XNJ
Na pamlyangu uvaha wa mundu mwenuyo, vavi kumvika mundu mmonga mngangu, liina laki Lazalu, mweavi na vilonda vyamahele.
BSB
BSB:
And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores
21
XNJ
Mngangu mwenuyo, anogela kupewa vyakulya vevyagwayi pahi kuhuma pameza ya mkolo vindu vyamahele yula. Hati mabwa gabwela na kumihyanga vilonda vyaki.
BSB
BSB:
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
XNJ
Lwakabwela lukumbi Lazalu yula afwili na vamitumu va kunani vakamtola na kumuvika papipi ya Ibulahimu. Na mkolo vindu vyamahele mewa afwili vakamzika.
BSB
BSB:
One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23
XNJ
Mkolo vindu vya mahele yula, paavi mukung'ahika neju kuligodi litali langali mwishu, akamlola Ibulahimu cha kutali na Lazalu papipi yaki.
BSB
BSB:
In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.
24
XNJ
Ndi akamkemela. Dadi, Ibulahimu! Nihengela lipyana, umtuma Lazalu ajwisa lung'onji lwaki mumanji na kunipolesa lulimi lwangu, muni ning'ahika neju mumotu uwu!
BSB
BSB:
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
XNJ
“Nambu Ibulahimu akamyangula, mwana vangu. Holalela, wapokili vindu vyabwina pawavi muwumi waku, na Lazalu opokili vindu vihakau. Hinu Lazalu ipumuliswa, na veve uvi mumang'ahiso.
BSB
BSB:
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.
26
XNJ
Pamonga na genago, pagati ya nyenye na tete, kuvili na ligodi livaha, muni vevigana kubwela kwa nyenye nakuhotola, na vevigana kuwuka kwa nyenye kubwela kwa tete nakuhotola,
BSB
BSB:
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
XNJ
Mkolo vindu vyamahele yula akajova, ‘Hinu Dadi Ibulahimu nikuyupa umtuma Lazalu ahamba kunyumba ya valongo vangu,
BSB
BSB:
‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,
28
XNJ
muni nivii nawu valongo mhanu, ahamba akavajovela vajiyangalila vakotoka navene vakotoka kubwela kumang'ahiso kuni.’ ”
BSB
BSB:
for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
29
XNJ
“Ibulahimu akamjovela, kwenuko ‘Valongo vaku vavi na mayandiku ga Musa na vamlota va Chapanga, valeka, vavayuwanila venavo.’
BSB
BSB:
But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
30
XNJ
Mkolo vindu vyamahele yula akajova kavili, ‘Lepi dadi Ibulahimu! Nambu ngati avahambalili mundu mweayukili kuhuma kwa vafwili, yati vileka kubuda kwavi.’
BSB
BSB:
‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31
XNJ
Ibulahimu akajova, ‘Ngati nakuvayuwanila mayandiku ga Musa na vamlota va Chapanga, nakumyuwanila mundu yoyoha hati ngati ayukili kuhuma kwe vevafwili.’ ”
BSB
BSB:
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.’”
