1Ege E tabara kaimeg giz daratagerare, Nerute lu giz, E nagri memeg le, E sirdam; Ege E abi etomelu, E dedkoli abara lu.
1Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
2Ege E abi dabger, kega, Nalu lu kaka mari asoli? ma natomer abele lu ma sirdameri; abelelam kaka umer kak ma memeg le sirdam.
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.’
3Abele memeg le lut E dikiapor muige abara nerkep ge, Nalu lu ka akerer, abelelam kara opole E kari adem abele dorgelam memeg le sirdamelam? Kaka umer kak daiue; kaka sirip damosi.
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.
4Kaka umele abele lu kaka ikeli, iaueakai ese E kari adem abele dorgelam, a uiaba ko kari nagared uiaba utebem.
4I know what I will do, so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
5Ege E mer tigri nerute leem, a nerute leem, uiaba uridili nagri lu uiaba opole; E nerute le detager, Naket lu mari dog kara opole la?
5And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
6E abi detager, kega, Paita uakaisu netate handed. Ege E abi detager, kega, Ma erpei mabara jauali, ma dudum emeri, ma detar fifite.
6‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager. ‘Sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
7Ege E nerute le detager, Naket lu mari dog? E detaut, kega, Saito kori netate handed. Ege E abi detager, Ma erpei mara jauali, ma detar eiti.
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.
8Ege abara opole desperer abele memeg le, abara tonar nole barkak, abelelam E au pardar: abelelam geseb le E aule dikiapor uiaba nosik tumem datki le.
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.
9Kaka uabi detagereda, Abele mamona nole barkak tonar uabim, iaueakai uaba tebud keubu uabi tegaret uiaba meta niai karem.
9I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.
10Ese le ageakar kebi lu, E ko ageakar au lu: Ese le nole barkak tonar kebi lu, E ko nolea barkak tonar au lu.
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.
11Ese uaba nole ageakar, abele mamona nole barkak tonar, nete le uabi ikuar abele lu giz kar asesered?
11So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
12Ese uaba nole ageakar subele la lu, nete le uabi ikuar uaba lu?
12And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
13Memeg le umer kak dorge ikeli uiabim neisi opole: abelelam E derar nerute le, E omare nerute le; epe nerute, E maike nerute le, a dituaki nerute le. Uaba umer kak Ade ra memeg le, pako mamona.
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.”
14Ege Faresaio giz aserare gaire lu uridili, uiaba lu lag; a uiaba abi negneg.
14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
15E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Uaba tonar no bes barkak le la opem; epe Ade umele dikiapore uaba nerkep: abelelam ese debe lu le la opem, E adud Ade ra opem.
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.
16Abele gelar giz pako perofeta bakedida Ioane: ditimedelu natomertare Ade ra baselaia ge, a gaire le batumu.
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.
17Kotor a gesep sobkak uaeseamu, Ade ra gelar giz nolea nerute mog uar uaeseamu.
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.
18Ese nerute le dituak abara kosker, a isipi nerute, E eruam: ese nerute le isipi abele kosker, abara kimiar dituak, E eruam.
18Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
19Nerute lu giz ra apu, E ame uali golegole gegur, pako mus uali, E mamor emeri gaire gerger uridili, a debe leuer ero:
19Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
20Nerute le nole lu kak, nei Lazaro, E eidi abi gab te ge, ege E badbad:
20And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores
21Ege E lagelag ero lu giz ra leuer poipi, abi laulaulam; a omai giz esomed abara bad.
21and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22Ege abele kerker ge, lu kak le eumilu, ege angela giz abi ais Aberahama ra marmot ge: ege luglug le eumilu, a etkobei.
22One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23A Hedisge, E au asiasi nagri, E egreemalu, E muriz ge erdali Aberahama pako Lazaro E emeri abara marmot ge.
23In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.
24E ereretikri, kega, Kara aba, Aberahama, ma kari omare, ma namarida Lazaro akmei tabara tag pem ni ge, ko itimoar kara uerut; abelelam kaka au asiasi abele ur au be.
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.’
25Ege Aberahama de abi detager, kega, Kara uerem, ma dikiapor, gaire debe lu ma nagri mara eded, a Lazaro nagri adud lu abara eded: a peirdi E nagri sererege, a ma au asiasi.
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.
26A nerute lu, meriba nagri auak eipu, abelelam keriba umer kak bakeamu uaba uteb, a uaba umer kak tabakeamu keriba uteb.
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.’
27Ege E abi detager, kega, Kara aba, kaka mari damosi ma abi temarida kara aba ra boai;
27‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,
28Abelelam faif kara le; ueakai uiaba mamoro asoli, nolea uiaba tabakeamu abele uteb, au asiasi.
28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
29Ege Aberahama de abi detager, kega, Nagri Mose pako perofeta uiabi dog, iaueakai uiaba asoli.
29But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
30E ge abi detager, kega, Kara aba, Aberahama, nolea: debele nerute le iako takomeda eudelam, ueakai uiaba nagri obazegeda.
30‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31E ge abi detager, kega, Ese uiaba nole asoli Mose pako perofeta, ese nerute le ko eded akaida, a uiaba nole asor kak.
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.’”
