¹YA ilegña locue ni y disipuluña sija: Guaja un taotao na rico, ya guaja mayetdomuña; ya este mafaaela guiya güiya na jagasta y güinajaña.

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.

²Ya janamaagange, ya ilegña nu güiya: Jafa este y jujujungog guiya jago? Fannae cuenta pot y mayetdomumo, sa ti siña jao mumayetdomo mas.

² He 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.’

³Ayonae y mayetdomo, ilegña gui sumanjalomña: Jafa jufatinas? sa y señotjo unajanaoyo gui mayetdomujo: Taya minetgotto para ufanguadog; mamajlaojo umogagao.

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.

⁴Jutungo esta jafa jufatinas, para yanguin manajanaoyo gui mayetdomujo, jumaresibeyo gui guimañija.

⁴ I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’

⁵Ya jaagang cada uno gui manmadidibe ni y señotña, ya ilegña ni y finenana: Cuanto undidibe y señotjo?

⁵ Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’

⁶Ya ilegña: Siento na medidan laña. Ayonae ilegña nu güiya: Chule y cuentamo ya unfatachong guse ya untugue sincuenta.

⁶ He said, ‘A hundred batos 100 batos is about 395 litres or 104 U. S. gallons. of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’

⁷Ya ilegña talo ni y otro: Ya jago, cuanto dibimo? Ilegña: Siento na medidan trigo. Ylegña talo: Chule y cuentamo ya untugue ochenta.

⁷ Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors 100 cors = about 3,910 litres or 600 bushels. of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’

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.

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.

⁹Ya jusangane jamyo: Fanmamamauleg amigonmiyo pot y güinajan y timanunas; sa yanguin manfatta jamyo, infanrinesibe gui taejinecog na saganñija.

⁹ I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.

¹⁰Ya y tunas gui didide, tunasja locue gui megae; ya y ti tunas gui didide, ti tunasja locue gui megae.

¹⁰ He 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.

¹¹Yanguin ti guinin manunas jamyo gui ti magajet na güinaja, jaye infaninangoco gui magajet na güinaja?

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

¹²Ya yanguin ti guinin manunas fiet jamyo gui iyon y otro taotao, jaye infanninae ni y iyonmiyo?

¹² If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?

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.

¹³ No 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 “Mammon” refers to riches or a false god of wealth. .”

¹⁴¶ Ya y Fariseo sija locue, ni y mangasalape, majungog este sija; ya mabotlea güe.

¹⁴The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

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.

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.

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.

¹⁶ The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

¹⁷Lao guseña malofan y langet yan y tano, qui na un pidasito gui lay ufatta.

¹⁷ But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.

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.

¹⁸ Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.

¹⁹¶ Guaja un taotao na rico, na minagagagoja putpura, yan y guesmauleg na magago apaca, ya cada jaane gumupupot.

¹⁹ “Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.

²⁰Ya guaja locue un pobble na umógagao limosna, y naanña si Lasaro, na bula chetnot, ni y estaba mapolo gui pettan y rico.

²⁰ A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was laid at his gate, full of 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.

²¹ and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

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;

²² It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.

²³Ya y ya sasalaguan, jajatsa y atadogña, anae estaba gui sinapet, ya jalie si Abraham na chago, yan si Lasaro gui pechoña.

²³ In Hades or, Hell , he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

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.

²⁴ 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.’

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.

²⁵ “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.

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.

²⁶ Besides 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 none may cross over from there to us.’

²⁷Ayonae ilegña: Pues jutayuyut jao tata, tago güe para y guima tata;

²⁷ “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house;

²⁸Sa guajayo sinco mañelujo lalaje; para usangane sija testimonio; ni noseaja ufanmamaela locue güine gui sinapet na lugat.

²⁸ for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’

²⁹Lao si Abraham ilegña: Gaegueja si Moises yan y profeta sija, polo ya ujaecungogja.

²⁹ “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’

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.’”
