1Nau bakana milini nunkanani jatana wonti: „Kana kulno poto pirna nganana wonti, nulu ngamalkiribanietja ngamalkana wonti; ja nina tanali nunkangu ngulkuterkana wonti, ngangau nulu poto nunkani duljaduljamanala.“
1He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
2Ja nulu nina karkana wonti ja nunkangu jatana wonti: „Mina ngato jinkangundru ngarai? Ngamalkijiribanandru windamau, ngangau jidni ngandandariai morla ngankijiribala.“
2He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
3Ngamalkiribanietja warawarapaterina wonti: „Mina ngato ngankananto? Ngangau kaparali ngakanali ngamalkijiribanila ngakangundru maniai. Ngani ngandandariai bakula, ja ngani nintali nganai tjambatjambala,
3“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4Ngani milkila, mina ngato ngankala nganai, nulu ngamalkijiribanila ngakangundru mamanani, tanali ngana patananto pungaia tananaia.“
4I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
5Ja nulu kaparaia nunkanaia kana poto wilpanto kulno ja kulno karkana wonti ja ngoperalani jatana wonti: „Worderuntja jundru kaparani ngakanani poto wilpanto nganai?“
5Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
6Nau jatana wonti: „100 koko gildi;“ ja nau nunkangu jatana wonti: „Talpadakani dakani jinkani patamai, ngamana ngariau, ja nurujeli dakamai 50.“
6He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
7Ngadani nau kulnuni jatana wonti: „Ja jundru, worderuntja jundru poto wilpanto nganai?“ Nau jatana wonti: „100 billi buka tandra.“ Ja nau nunkangu jatana wonti: „Talpadakani dakani jinkani patau, ja dakamai 80.“
7Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
8Ja kaparali ngamalkiribanietja tjikatjika jurakokana wonti, ngangau nulu kiri ngankana wonti; ngangau nunkanipini mitaia kupa morla kiri nganai praitjaia kupani ngujani tananani.
8“His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.
9Ja ngani jurangu jatai: „Jura jurangu muntali kamaneli ngankanimai mamon wata talkuni; ngangau nau mudanani, tanali jurana patala nganai punga nguralia.
9I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.
10Worana talku nganai wakawakani, nau bakana pirnani talku nganai; ja worana wata talku nganai wakawakani, nau bakana pirnani wata talku nganai.
10He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
11Jura mamon wata talkuni wata talkurinani, warle jurangu morlalulali jinkila nganai?
11If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12Ja jura tulani wata talkurinani, warle jurangu juranani jinkila nganai?
12If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
13Pungaia mili kulno ngandandariai kapara mandruni mili ngamala; nau kulnuni kalakalarila nganai, ja kulno nulu ngantjala nganai kara, kulnuni nau wodatarana ngamala nganai, ja kulnuni gilbarila nganai kara. Jura ngandandariai Godani ja Mamonani mili ngamala.“
13No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
14Jenia pratjana Pharisaiali ngarana wonti, tanali mardatandra manujeli ngundrana wonti; ja tanali nina ngirkibana wonti.
14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15Nau tanangu jatana wonti: „Jura jenipara nganai, tana munta talku wondrateriai kanani, ja Godali ngara jurani ngujamai. Ngangau jenia, mina kanani pirna nganai, Godani tjikatjika nganai.
15He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16Jirijiribani jaura ja Propheta Johaningulu; nunkangupini ditjindru tanali ngantjani jaura Godaia mililandru kaukaubai, ja kana pratjanali ngurujeli nunkangu jeniai.
16“The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17Morla ngaua nganai pariwilpa ja mita mudanani, tjilpi waka kulno jirijiribani jaurandru purinani.
17But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
18Warlenulu noa nunkani worarai, ja kulno nguru patai, nulu pinta wokaribai; ja warlenulu jenipara, materali matja worarana, patai, bakana pinta wokaribai. (Ngantjani‐jaura G. D. 1. Trinitatis.)
18“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19Kana kulno poto pirna nganana wonti, nau kati tjanka waru ja maralje widmaterina wonti, ja ditjini warupotuni tepi ngumu ngankaterina wonti, ja mankina wonti.
19“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20Ja kana wangiwangi nganana wonti, tala nunkani Lazarus, naupini punga manani nunkanani parana wonti gambanto.
20A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
21Ja nau ngalkujeli nganana wonti buka murujeli jerturila, tana kana poto pirnaia kurlindru purinani; ja kintala wokarana wonti ja nina tapa talieli tapana wonti.
21and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22Jendranguta kana wangiwangi palina wonti, ja angelali nina taralkana wonti Abrahamangu ngalpaia. Ja kana poto pirna bakana palina wonti, ja tanali nina todina wonti.
22The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
23Ja turuni nau milki tjenmana tarana wonti, ngangau nau ketjaketjanani nganana wonti; ja nulu Abraham woritandra najina wonti, ja Lazarus nunkangu ngalpani.
23In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.
24Ja nau karkana wonti ja jatana wonti: «Ngaperiai Abraham, kalumiltjamiltjariau ngakangu, ja Lazarus jinpamai, nau maramoku ngapani multibaterinanto ngana tali malti ngankala; ngangau ngani pirna ketjaketjai nunkanguja turu jaolani.»
24He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
25Abraham jatana wonti: «Ngundrau ngatamurajai, ngumula jinkani jundru manina wonti tepiwirdi, ja Lazarulu madlentji manina wonti; ja karari nulu ninkida ngankalkana maniai, ja jundru ketjaketjana.
25“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
26Ja bakana dulkuru pirna parai ngaianingu ja jurangu terti, jeruja tana ninkidandru jertapaterinani jerra pararala, jenia ngandandariai, ja bakana tana ninkindrupara ngandandariai ngaianingu pararala.»
26Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
27Nau jatana wonti: «Ngani jinkangu ngatjiai, ngaperiai, jundru ninapara jinpananto ngakani ngaperaia pungaia.
27“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
28Ngangau ngatata mara wora ngato ngamalkai: tanangu nulupara morlalu kurananto, tana nunkangupini ketjaketjani pirini wokaraiati.»
28for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
29Abraham nunkangu jatana wonti: «Tanali Mose ja Propheta worana ngamalkai, tanali tananaka ngaraiatinimai.»
29“But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30Nau jatana wonti: «A‐ai, ngaperiai Abraham, narila kulno wokaranani, jeruja tana madlentjandru karitjila nganai.»
30“He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31Nau nunkangu jatana wonti: «Tanali Mose ja Propheta worana bulu ngaranani, tanali bakana wata morlalu ngundrala nganai narila terkakanani.»“
31“He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
