¹And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods.

¹Huan, Jesun a nungjuite kiangah hiai thu leng a gena: Mi sumhau kuahiamin sumkemmi a neia; huai min tuh a sum a zat bei sak mawkmawk thu ah a kiangah a hek ua

²And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.

²Huchiin, aman amah a sama, a kiangah, Na tungtang thu ka jak bangchi ahia? Na sum kepthu hon pelut in; tuban siah sum kem in na pang thei nawn kei ding, a chi a.

³And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed.

³Huan, sumkempan, a lungsimin, Ka Toupan ka sumkep hontawp ding hi a, bangchin ka hih dia leh? lei toh lah ka ngap kei a, khutdoh lah ka zum ngala.

⁴I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

⁴Sumkep a hontawp hun chiangin a in ua honom sak dingin ka hihdingdan ka theita, a chi a.

⁵And calling to him each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

⁵Huchiin, a Toupa sum bate a sam chiata, masapen kiangah, Ka Toupa lakah bangzah na ba a? achia a.

⁶And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty.

⁶Aman, Thau tehnadan za khat, achia a. Huan, aman, a kiangah, Na lai la inla tu meng inla, sawmnga gelh in, a chi a.

⁷Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore.

⁷Huan mi dang kiangah, Nang bangzah na ba a? a chi a. Aman. Buh tehna dan za khat, a chi a. Huan, aman, a kiangah, Na lai la inla, sawmgiat gelhin, a chi a.

⁸And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light.

⁸Huan, a Toupan sumkempa diklou tuh a lemtheih jiakin a phat a; vak tate sangin hiai khovel tate a tulai thu ua a piljawk jiakun.

⁹And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles.

⁹Ka honhilh ahi, Sum lemin nou din lawmte bawl un, sum a bei hun chianga khantawna omnaa nou a honom sak na ding un.

¹⁰He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much.

¹⁰Kuapeuh tawmchik tunga ginom lou tuh tampi tungah leng a ginom kei nak uhi.

¹¹If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?

¹¹Sum lem tunga bawn na ginom kei uleh, kuan ahia sum tak nou honkemsak ding?

¹²And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?

¹²Mi danga tunga bawn na ginom kei un, noumaua kuain ahia honpe ding?

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. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

¹³Sikha kuamahin heutu nih na a sem kop theikei, khat huain khat a deih ding, a hihkeileh, khat gumin khat a musit ding, Pathian leh sum na na sem kop theikei ding uh a chi a.

¹⁴And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him.

¹⁴Huan, Pharisai sum deihmiten huai thu tengteng a ja ua, a nuih san uh.

¹⁵And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

¹⁵Huchiin, aman, a kianguah, Mi mitmuha kisiam tangsak na hi uh, himahleh, Pathianin na lungtang uh a thei a; mihing laka a pahtawi uh Pathian mitmuhin kihhuaipi ahi ngala.

¹⁶The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.

¹⁶Dan leh jawlneite thu Johan hong om tannin a oma; huainung siah Pathian gam Tanchin Hoih a gen ua, michih a pawnglut uhi.

¹⁷But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.

¹⁷Himahleh, dan thu sut vom neu chik leng a man sangin van leh khovel amanthat a baihlamjaw ahi.

¹⁸Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.

¹⁸Kuapeuh ji maa, zi dang nei tuh, angkawm ahi; kuapeuh mi ji maksa nei tuh angkawm ahi.

¹⁹Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:

¹⁹Huan, misumhau kuahiam a oma, puan sandup leh puan mal ngat a silha, nitengin nuamsa takin a om a.

²⁰and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,

²⁰Huan, a min Lazar, khutdoh khat meimaa pumdim, a kongkhak bulah a lum a,

²¹and desiring to be fed with the [crumbs] that fell from the rich man's table; yea, even the dogs come and licked his sores.

²¹mi sumhau dohkana khatehnen kia khawng nek a lunggulh a; ui khawngten lah a meima a liah sak sak uh.

²²And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham's bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.

²²Huan, hichi ahia, khutdoh tuh a si a, angelten a paipih ua, Abraham angsungah a koih ua. Mi sumhau leng a sia, vuiin a omta a.

²³And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²³Huan, misi khua ah gim thuakin a oma, a dak tou a, gamla pia Abraham leh a angsunga Lazar om toh, a muta a.

²⁴And he 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.

²⁴Huan, a kikou a, Pa Abraham, ka tungah zahngai inla, Lazar hon sawl in, a khut zungmuk tui ah diah henla, ka lei hihvotna din; hiai mei kuangah ka gim mahmah ahi, a chi a.

²⁵But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted and thou art in anguish.

²⁵Himahleh, Abrahamin, Ka tapa, nang na damlaiin, na thil hoih na mu a, huchi mahbangin Lazarin thil hoihlou a muh thei tanla; himahlah tunah amah jaw hiai ah khamuang takin a oma, nang jaw gim nei ve.

²⁶And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.

²⁶Tua louleng, hiai akipana noukianga pai tumte tuh a pai theih louhna dingun leh, kuamah huaia kipana koukianga a hongkai theih louhna dingun, kou leh nou kikal ah guam thupi tak koihdenin a om hi, a chi a.

²⁷And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house;

²⁷Huan, aman, A hihleh, pa, amah ka pa in ah paisak ding bekin, ka honngen ahi;

²⁸for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

²⁸sanggam pasal nga ka nei ngala; hiai gimna mun ah a hongpai kha ding uh, phatuamngaitakin vahilh leh, a chi a.

²⁹But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

²⁹Abrahamin bel, Mosi leh jawlneite a neive ua oi; huai mite thu ngai le uh ake, a chi a

³⁰And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.

³⁰Huan, aman, Pa Abraham, hilou e; misi laka mi hilhial a kiang uah hoh zo leh a kisik ding uh, a chi a.Huan, aman, a kiangah, Mosi leh jawlneite thu a ngaih kei un jaw, misi laka mi thou nawn mahlehleng a taksang tuankei ding uh, a chi a, a chi a.

³¹And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.

³¹Huan, aman, a kiangah, Mosi leh jawlneite thu a ngaih kei un jaw, misi laka mi thou nawn mahlehleng a taksang tuankei ding uh, a chi a, a chi a.
