1Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
1A hnukbang rhoek te khaw, “ Hlang pakhat tah kuirhang la om tih hnokhoem a khueh. Te long te a khuehtawn a haeh pah dongah amah a khotoh nah .
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.’
2Te dongah anih te a khue tih , “ Nang kawng ka yaak he me tlam lae? Na hnokhoemnah dongkah olka te thuung laeh, na khoom ham na coeng voel moenih ,’ a ti nah .
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.
3Te vaengah hnokhoem amah te , ' Balae ka saii lah eh? Ka boeipa loh hnokhoemnah he kai lamloh a lat coeng, diklai daeng ham khaw ka noeng pawh, bih ham khaw ka yak ,
4I know what I will do, so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
4Ka saii ham te ka ming coeng. Te daengah ni hnokhoemnah lamkah ka puen uh vaengah a im khuila kai n'doe uh eh ,’ a ti .
5And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
5Te dongah, a boeipa kah purhong rhoek te rhip a khue tih, lamhma taengah , ' Ka boeipa taengah meyet na ba ?' a ti nah .
6‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager. ‘Sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
6Te long te , ' Situi um yakhat ,’ a ti nah. Te vaengah anih te , ' Na cabu na doe vaengah ngol pahoi lamtah sawmnga mah daek ,’ a ti nah .
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.
7Pakhat te khaw , ' Nang tah meyet na ba,” a ti nah. Te long te , “ Cang phueih yakhat,” a ti nah. Anih te , “ Cabu na doe vaengah sawmrhet la daek,” a ti nah .
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.
8A thai a lai neh a saii dongah boethae kah hnokhoem te boeipa loh a koeh. Ta kumhal kah ca rhoek he amah cadil khuiah tah vangnah kah a ca rhoek lakah cueih uh .
9I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.
9Te dongah kai loh nangmih taengah ka thui , “ Boethae laikhuehtawn te khaw na paya la khueh uh. Te daengah ni dungyan dap khuila na khum vaengah n'doe uh eh .
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.
10A yit dongah uepom la aka om tah a len dongah khaw uepom la om tih, a yit dongah aka halang tah a len dongah khaw halang .
11So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
11Halang, laikhuehtawn neh uepom la na om uh pawt bal atah unim nangmih rhep aka tangnah te?
12And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
12Te dongah na hlanglang tih uepom la na om pawt atah na koe te u long nangmih m'paek eh .
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.”
13Imkhut pakhat loh boei panit kah sal a bi thai moenih, pakhat te a toeng vetih pakhat te a lungnah ni, pakhat te a talong vetih pakhat te a hnoel ni. Pathen neh laikhuehtawn kah sal na bi rhenthen thai moenih,” a ti nah.
14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
14Te te naivoei la aka om Pharisee rhoek loh boeih a yaak uh vaengah amah te a nueih thil uh.
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.
15Te dongah amih te, “ Nangmih loh hlang hmaiah aka tang la na om uh. Tedae Pathen loh nangmih thinko te a ming. Hlang soah aka sang te Pathen hmaiah tueilaehnah la om .
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.
16Olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek loh Johan hil, te lamkah loh Pathen kah ram tah ana phong coeng tih a khuila la boeih ana ael uh .
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.
17Olkhueng te a dek pakhat a rhul lakah vaan neh diklai a khum te a phoeng la om pueng .
18Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
18A yuu te a tueih tih a tloe aka lo boeih tah samphaih coeng. Te phoeiah va aka ma aka yunah te khaw samphaih .
19Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
19Hlang pakhat tah kuirhang la om. Te dongah daidi, hnithen neh khuk uh tih hnin takuem thayoei tuipan la a uum .
20And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores
20Te vaengah khodaeng pakhat, a ming ah Lazarus tah buhlut neh a vongka ah a yalh pah .
21and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
21Te dongah kuirhang caboei lamkah aka bo nen te bunghah khaw a nai. Tedae ui rhoek long pataeng ha pawk uh vaengah a buhlut te a laeh pa uh .
22One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
22Tedae khodaeng te a duek vaengah puencawn rhoek loh Abraham rhang dongla a khuen. Te phoeiah kuirhang te khaw duek tih a up uh .
23In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.
23Tedae saelkhui ah a mik a hoh tih nganboh neh kho a sak vaengah tah Abraham neh a rhang dongkah Lazarus te a hla lamkah a hmuh .
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.’
24Te dongah a pang neh , ' A pa Abraham, kai he n'rhen lamtah Lazarus te han tueih mai. A kutdawn kah a hmoicue te tui dongah naek saeh lamtah ka lai he sul sak saeh, hmaitak khuiah mat n ' yuek coeng he ,’ a ti nah .
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.
25Tedae Abraham loh , ' Camoe, na hingnah dongkah na hnothen na dang te poek. Te vaengah Lazarus tah yoethae bangla om. Tedae anih a mong vaengah he nang tah patang loh n ' yuek coeng .
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.’
26He rhoek boeih khuiah khaw kaimih neh nangmih laklo kah longhoi tah muep n'lak coeng. Te dongah nangmih taengla hlaikan dingdoeng aka ngaih long khaw coeng pawh, kaimih taengla hlaikan dingdoeng ham khaw coeng pawh ,’ a ti nah .
27‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,
27Te phoeiah , ' A pa namah ni kan hloep. Te dongah anih te a pa im la tueih mai .
28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
28Manuca panga ka khueh dongah amih te uen mai saeh. Te daengah ni amih khaw hekah nganboh hmuen la ha pawk uh pawt eh? ,’ a ti nah .
29But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
29Tedae Abraham loh , ' Moses neh tonghma te a khueh uh ta, amih taengah hnatun uh saeh ,’ a ti nah .
30‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’
30Tedae te long te , ' Moenih, a pa Abraham, aka duek tangtae pakhat loh amih te paan koinih yut uh ni ,’ a ti nah .
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.’”
31Tedae anih te , ' Moses neh tonghma rhoek kah olthui te a hnatun uh pawt atah, duek khui lamkah khat khat thoo cakhaw ngaitang mahpawh ,’ a ti nah,” a ti.
