1Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
1YA ilegña locue ni y disipuluña sija: Guaja un taotao na rico, ya guaja mayetdomuña; ya este mafaaela guiya güiya na jagasta y güinajaña.
2So 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.’
2Ya janamaagange, ya ilegña nu güiya: Jafa este y jujujungog guiya jago? Fannae cuenta pot y mayetdomumo, sa ti siña jao mumayetdomo mas.
3The 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.
3Ayonae y mayetdomo, ilegña gui sumanjalomña: Jafa jufatinas? sa y señotjo unajanaoyo gui mayetdomujo: Taya minetgotto para ufanguadog; mamajlaojo umogagao.
4I know what I will do, so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
4Jutungo esta jafa jufatinas, para yanguin manajanaoyo gui mayetdomujo, jumaresibeyo gui guimañija.
5And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
5Ya jaagang cada uno gui manmadidibe ni y señotña, ya ilegña ni y finenana: Cuanto undidibe y señotjo?
6‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager. ‘Sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
6Ya ilegña: Siento na medidan laña. Ayonae ilegña nu güiya: Chule y cuentamo ya unfatachong guse ya untugue sincuenta.
7Then 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.
7Ya ilegña talo ni y otro: Ya jago, cuanto dibimo? Ilegña: Siento na medidan trigo. Ylegña talo: Chule y cuentamo ya untugue ochenta.
8The 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.
8Ya jaalaba y señot y taelaye na mayetdomo; sa pot y jagostungo chumogüe: sa y famaguon este na tano, manmejnalomña y generasionñija, qui y famaguon y manana.
9I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.
9Ya jusangane jamyo: Fanmamamauleg amigonmiyo pot y güinajan y timanunas; sa yanguin manfatta jamyo, infanrinesibe gui taejinecog na saganñija.
10Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
10Ya y tunas gui didide, tunasja locue gui megae; ya y ti tunas gui didide, ti tunasja locue gui megae.
11So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
11Yanguin ti guinin manunas jamyo gui ti magajet na güinaja, jaye infaninangoco gui magajet na güinaja?
12And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
12Ya yanguin ti guinin manunas fiet jamyo gui iyon y otro taotao, jaye infanninae ni y iyonmiyo?
13No 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.”
13Ni un tentago siña jasetbe dos na señot: sa uchatlie y uno, ya uguaeya y otro; pat atituye gui uno, ya udespresia y otro. Ti siña jamyo insetbe si Yuus, yan y güinaja.
14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
14Ya y Fariseo sija locue, ni y mangasalape, majungog este sija; ya mabotlea güe.
15So 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.
15Ya ilegña si Jesus nu sija: Jamyo yuje sija y innafanunas maesa jamyo gui menan y taotao sija; lao si Yuus jatungoja y corasonmiyo: sa ayo y guesmaguaeya gui entalo y taotao sija y chinatlie para y menan Yuus.
16The 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.
16Y lay, yan y profeta sija, mangaegue asta as Juan: ya desde ayo na tiempo y raenon Yuus mapredicañaejon, ya todoja jumalom nu y finijon.
17But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.
17Lao guseña malofan y langet yan y tano, qui na un pidasito gui lay ufatta.
18Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
18Todo ayo y dumingo y asaguaña, ya umasagua yan otro, jafatinas y abale; ya y umasagua ayo na palaoan ni y diningo ni y asaguañalaje, jafatinas y abale.
19Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
19Guaja un taotao na rico, na minagagagoja putpura, yan y guesmauleg na magago apaca, ya cada jaane gumupupot.
20And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores
20Ya guaja locue un pobble na umógagao limosna, y naanña si Lasaro, na bula chetnot, ni y estaba mapolo gui pettan y rico.
21and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
21Ya malagogüe na umanachocho ni ayo y andesmoronan ni y mamopodong gui lamasan y rico; ya asta y galago manmato ya manmanjójoflag y chetnotña.
22One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
22Ya despues, matae y pebble ni y umógagao limosna, ya macone ni y angjet sija asta y pechon Abraham; matae locue y rico na taotao, ya majafot;
23In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.
23Ya y ya sasalaguan, jajatsa y atadogña, anae estaba gui sinapet, ya jalie si Abraham na chago, yan si Lasaro gui pechoña.
24So 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.’
24Ya umagang ilegña: Tata Abraham, gaease nu guajo, ya tago si Lasaro, para usupog y puntan calolotña gui janom ya unafresco y jilajo; sa estagüe na masasapetyo güine na mañila.
25But 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.
25Lao si Abraham ilegña: Laje, jaso na anae lalâlâ jao unresibe todo y manmauleg na güinajamo; taegüenaoja locue si Lasaro jaresibe y manaelaye na güinaja: lao pago, güiya mamagof güine, ya jago masasapet.
26And 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.’
26Ya gui todo estesija; esta mapolo fitme gui entalota un dangculon joyo na chojfe, para todo y manmalago manmalofan güine asta iya jamyo ti ufansiña; ni ufanmalofan y manmalago güenao manmalag iya jamyo.
27‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,
27Ayonae ilegña: Pues jutayuyut jao tata, tago güe para y guima tata;
28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
28Sa guajayo sinco mañelujo lalaje; para usangane sija testimonio; ni noseaja ufanmamaela locue güine gui sinapet na lugat.
29But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
29Lao si Abraham ilegña: Gaegueja si Moises yan y profeta sija, polo ya ujaecungogja.
30‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’
30Ya ilegña: Aje, tata Abraham; sa yanguin uno ni y guinin manmatae jumanao para iya sija, ufanmañotsot.
31Then 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.’”
31Ya ilegña nu güiya: Yanguin ti maecungog si Moises, yan y profeta sija; ti ufanmaosgon achogja uguaja cajulo guinin y manmatae.
