Luke 16 (YOR) · Opened

1Ó sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú pé, “Ọkùnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ kan wà, tí ó ní ìríjú kan; òun náà ni wọ́n fi sùn ún pé, ó ti ń fi ohun ìní rẹ̀ ṣòfò.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Nígbà tí ó sì pè é, ó wí fún un pé, ‘Èéṣe tí èmi fi ń gbọ́ èyí sí ọ? Ṣírò iṣẹ́ ìríjú rẹ; nítorí ìwọ kò lè ṣe ìríjú mi mọ́.’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“Ìríjú náà sì wí nínú ara rẹ̀ pé, ‘Èwo ni èmi ó ṣe? Nítorí tí olúwa mi gba iṣẹ́ ìríjú lọ́wọ́ mi: èmi kò le ṣiṣẹ́ oko, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ojú ń tì mí láti ṣagbe.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.

4Mo mọ èyí tí èmi yóò ṣe, nígbà tí a bá mú mi kúrò níbi iṣẹ́ ìríjú, kí àwọn ènìyàn le gbà mí sínú ilé wọn.’I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5“Ó sì pe àwọn ajigbèsè olúwa rẹ̀ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì wí fún èkínní pé, ‘Èló ni ìwọ jẹ olúwa mi?’And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6“Ó sì wí pé, ‘Ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀rún (900) òsùwọ̀n òróró.’ “Ó sì wí fún un pé, ‘Mú ìwé rẹ, sì jókòó nísinsin yìí, kí o sì kọ àádọ́ta lé ní irinwó (450).’‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7“Nígbà náà ni ó sì bi ẹnìkejì pé, ‘Èló ni ìwọ jẹ?’ “Òun sì wí pé, ‘Ẹgbẹ̀rún (1,000) òsùwọ̀n alikama.’ “Ó sì wí fún un pé, ‘Mú ìwé rẹ, kí o sì kọ ẹgbẹ̀rin (800).’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“Olúwa rẹ̀ sì yin aláìṣòótọ́ ìríjú náà, nítorí tí ó fi ọgbọ́n ṣe é, àwọn ọmọ ayé yìí sá à gbọ́n ní ìran wọn ju àwọn ọmọ ìmọ́lẹ̀ lọ.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.

9Èmi sì wí fún yín, ẹ fi ọrọ̀ ayé yìí yan ọ̀rẹ́ fún ara yín pé, nígbà tí o ba lọ, kí wọn kí ó le gbà yín sí ibùjókòó wọn títí ayé.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“Ẹni tí ó bá ṣe olóòtítọ́ nínú ohun kínkínní, ó ṣe olóòtítọ́ ní púpọ̀ pẹ̀lú: ẹni tí ó bá sì ṣe aláìṣòótọ́ ní ohun kínkínní, ó ṣe aláìṣòótọ́ ní ohun púpọ̀ pẹ̀lú.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.

11Ǹjẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin kò bá ti jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ nínú ọrọ̀ ayé yìí, ta ni yóò fi ọ̀rọ̀ tòótọ́ fún yín?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Bí ẹ̀yin kò bá sì ti jẹ́ olóòtítọ́ nínú ohun tí í ṣe ti ẹlòmíràn, ta ni yóò fún yín ní ohun tí í ṣe ti ẹ̀yin tìkára yín?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13“Kò sì í ẹnìkan tí ó lè sin ọ̀gá méjì. Òun yóò yà kórìíra ọ̀kan tí yóò fẹ́ràn èkejì, tàbí kí ó fi ara mọ́ ọ̀kan kí ó sì yan èkejì ní ìpọ̀sí. Ẹ̀yin kò lè sin Ọlọ́run àti owó papọ̀.”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.”

14Àwọn Farisi, tí wọ́n ní ojúkòkòrò sì gbọ́ gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí, wọ́n sì yọ ṣùtì sí i.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ni àwọn tí ń dá àre fún ara yín níwájú ènìyàn; ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run mọ ọkàn yín, nítorí ohun ti a gbéga lójú ènìyàn, ìríra ni níwájú Ọlọ́run.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“Òfin àti àwọn wòlíì ń bẹ títí di ìgbà Johanu, Láti ìgbà náà wá ni a ti ń wàásù ìròyìn ayọ̀ ìjọba Ọlọ́run, olúkúlùkù sì ń fi ipá wọ inú rẹ̀.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.

17Ṣùgbọ́n ó rọrùn fún ọ̀run òun ayé láti kọjá lọ, ju kí èyí tí ó kéré jù nínú òfin kí ó yẹ.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“Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá kọ aya rẹ̀ sílẹ̀, tí ó sì gbé ẹlòmíràn ní ìyàwó, ó ṣe panṣágà: ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá sì gbé, ẹni tí ọkọ rẹ̀ kọ̀sílẹ̀ ní ìyàwó náà, ó ṣe panṣágà.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19“Ǹjẹ́ ọkùnrin ọlọ́rọ̀ kan wà, tí ó ń wọ aṣọ elése àlùkò àti aṣọ àlà dáradára, a sì máa jẹ dídùndídùn lójoojúmọ́.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Alágbe kan sì wà tí à ń pè ní Lasaru, tí wọ́n máa ń gbé wá kalẹ̀ lẹ́bàá ọ̀nà ilé rẹ̀, ó kún fún ooju,And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21Òun a sì máa fẹ́ kí a fi èérún tí ó ti orí tábìlì ọlọ́rọ̀ bọ́ sílẹ̀ bọ́ òun, àwọn ajá sì wá, wọ́n sì fá a ní ooju lá.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“Ó sì ṣe, alágbe kú, a sì ti ọwọ́ àwọn angẹli gbé e lọ sí oókan àyà Abrahamu: ọlọ́rọ̀ náà sì kú pẹ̀lú, a sì sin ín;One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Ní ipò òkú ni ó gbé ojú rẹ̀ sókè, ó ń bẹ nínú ìjìyà oró, ó sì rí Abrahamu ní òkèrè, àti Lasaru ní oókan àyà rẹ̀.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24Ó sì ké, ó wí pé, ‘Baba Abrahamu, ṣàánú fún mi, kí o sì rán Lasaru, kí ó tẹ orí ìka rẹ̀ bọ omi, kí ó sì fi tù mí ní ahọ́n; nítorí èmi ń joró nínú ọ̀wọ́n iná yìí.’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“Ṣùgbọ́n Abrahamu wí pé, ‘Ọmọ, rántí pé, nígbà ayé rẹ, ìwọ ti gba ohun rere tìrẹ, àti Lasaru ohun búburú, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí ara rọ̀ ọ́, ìwọ sì ń joró.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.

26Àti pẹ̀lú gbogbo èyí, a gbé ọ̀gbun ńlá kan sí agbede-méjì àwa àti ẹ̀yin, kí àwọn tí ń fẹ́ má ba á le rékọjá láti ìhín lọ sọ́dọ̀ yín, kí ẹnikẹ́ni má sì le ti ọ̀hún rékọjá tọ̀ wá wá.’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“Ó sì wí pé, ‘Ǹjẹ́ mo bẹ̀ ọ́, baba, kí ìwọ kí ó rán Lasaru lọ sí ilé baba mi,‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28nítorí mo ní arákùnrin márùn-ún; kí ó lè rò fún wọn kí àwọn kí ó má ba á wá sí ibi oró yìí pẹ̀lú.’for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29“Abrahamu sì wí fún un pé, ‘Wọ́n ní Mose àti àwọn wòlíì; kí wọn kí ó gbọ́ tiwọn.’But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30“Ó sì wí pé, ‘Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, Abrahamu baba; ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹnìkan bá ti inú òkú tọ̀ wọ́n lọ, wọn ó ronúpìwàdà.’‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31“Ó sì wí fún un pé, ‘Bí wọn kò bá gbọ́ ti Mose àti ti àwọn wòlíì, a kì yóò yí wọn ní ọkàn padà bí ẹnìkan tilẹ̀ ti inú òkú dìde.’ ”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.’”
