Ha bwéecho, omuhíte akamwéeta omwiimeelelezíwe, yaámubúuza, ‘Ni magaambo chi aga gi ndikuhulila hali íiwe? Ntoondela okubala kwe ebiintu byaanze, habwo kuba tokukuúndilwa kuzeendelela kuba omwiímeelelezi!’
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
ZIN
Ogwo mwiímeelelezi yeébuuza, ‘Nzileho nta óobu? Omukáma waanze, naanyiha omu milimo. Tiinyina amagala go kulima, na niinzila ensoni kusabiliza.
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
ZIN
Mbwéenu, niimmanya cho kukola, kuba ahaleéza abaantu babone kuunnyegeza omu maka gáabo kaándaalekesibwa emilimo ezi.’

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
ZIN
Yaámusubiza, ‘Ibáanza lyaanze, na amapipa igana ga amazuta ge emizeituni.’ Omwiímeelelezi yaámugaambila, ‘Twaála olwaandiko óolu, olwaandikilwe ibáanza lyaawe yikala aha, ozihiindule bwaangu, yaandika makúmi ataanu.’
BSB
BSB:
‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
7
ZIN
Mala káandi yaámubúuza omutoongwa oóndi, ‘Íiwe, ibáanza lyaawe ni ndeengo chi?’ Náwe yaámusubiza, ‘Amagunila igana ge engano.’ Ogwo omwiímeelelezi yaámugaambila, ‘Twaála olwaandiko óolu lwi ibáanza lyaawe, yaandikaho makúmi munáana.’
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.

ZIN
“Káyaabaliile, omuhíte yaámusiingiza ogwo omwiímeelelezi atali omweésigwa aha bucheluke bwoómwe. Habwo kuba, abaantu ba kataka ezi béena obucheluke ha bigaambo byáabo na bazeenzi báabo, kuchila abaantu bo omu mwaanga.
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
ZIN
Náwe Yeézu yaázeendelela kubagaambila, muheéle ebiintu byáanyu byo omuli kataka ezi ha báandi mubóne abanywáani, kuba kábilihwa, mwaangiswe omu butúulo bwo obucha no obuchiile.

10
ZIN
“Buli muuntu óogwo ali omweésigwa aha magaambo máche, niwe ali omweésigwa nóobwo aha magaambo amaháango. Bityo nyini, buli muuntu óogwo atali omweésigwa aha magaambo máche, niwe atali omweésigwa nóobwo aha magaambo amaháango.
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
ZIN
Mbwéenu, kamulaaba íimwe mutabeéle abeésigwa aha kutégeka amabonwa go omuli kataka ezi, noóha alaabeésiga omu kubaha obutégeki bwo obuhite bwa amazima bwo omu igulu?
BSB
BSB:
So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
12
ZIN
Kamulaaba íimwe mutabeéle abeésigwa aha mabonwa go oóndi, mbwéenu noóha akwiíle kubaha íimwe amabonwa agali géenyu!
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.”

15
ZIN
Yeézu yaábagaambila, “Íimwe, nimweekola abagololoke omu méeso ga abaantu. Náho, Múungu naamanya amagaambo ago agali omu miganya yáanyu. Habwo kuba, amagaambo ago gi balikukuza bwooli abaantu, nigamutamisa bwooli Múungu!”

“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
ZIN
“Ebilagilo bya Musa, na amaandiko ga ababáasi, gakaba nigakulaatilwa na abaantu kuhicha omu buchilo bwa Yohana Omubatiza. Kuluga obuchilo bwoómwe, abaantu bakaba nibamanyiswa Empola Nzima zo obukáma bwa Múungu, na buli muuntu ayetaashámo lwa amagala.

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.’

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
ZIN
Hamo na ago, hali íichwe neemwe, hatiilwého eliina liháango bwooli. Obubáho bwe eliina ni biti, áabo abalikweenda kuluga kunu kuzeenda hali íimwe, na áabo abalikweenda kuluga óokwo kwíiza hali íichwe, bataákuhicha kwaambukáho.’
