1Sidna Ɛisa yenna daɣen i inelmaden-is : -- Yiwen wergaz d ameṛkanti yesɛa lewkil ; lewkil-agi ccetkan fell-as ɣer umɛellem-is nnan-as : « lewkil-ik ițḍeggiɛ ayla-k ».
1And he said also to [his] disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and *he* was accused to him as wasting his goods.
2Amɛellem-is issawel-as yenna yas : « d acu-ten imeslayen-agi i sliɣ fell-ak ? Efk-iyi-d leḥsab ɣef wayen akk i d-teskecmeḍ d wayen i tessufɣeḍ, axaṭer sya d asawen ur tețțiliḍ ara d lewkil-iw ».
2And having called him, he said to him, What [is] this that I hear of thee? give the reckoning of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.
3Lewkil-agi ixemmem deg iman-is yenna : d acu ara xedmeɣ imi amɛellem-iw ad iyi ikkes amkan-iw ? Ad xedmeɣ akal... Ur zmireɣ ara ! Ad țreɣ.... ssetḥaɣ !
3And the steward said within himself, What shall I do; for my lord is taking the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
4?riɣ d acu ara xedmeɣ, iwakken m'ara yi-istixxeṛ umɛellem-iw, ad afeɣ wid ara yi-iɛiwnen !
4I know what I will do, that when I shall have been removed from the stewardship I may be received into their houses.
5Yessawel-asen yiwen yiwen i wid akk yesɛan ṭṭlaba ɣer umɛellem-is. Yenna i umezwaru : « Acḥal i k-ițalas umɛellem-iw ? »
5And having called to [him] each one of the debtors of his own lord, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6Argaz-nni yerra-yas-d : « Meyya yecbuyla n zzit uzemmur. » Yenna-yas : « sellek awi-d leḥsab ik, qqim taruḍ xemsin ».
6And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take thy writing and sit down quickly and write fifty.
7Yenna daɣen i wayeḍ : « i keččini, acḥal i k-ițalas ? » Yenna-yas-d : « meyya tcekkaṛin n yirden. » Yenna-yas : « awi-d leḥsab-ik, qqim taruḍ tmanyin».
7Then he said to another, And thou, how much dost thou owe? And he said, A hundred cors of wheat. And he says to him, Take thy writing and write eighty.
8Amɛellem n lewkil-nni axeddaɛ icekkeṛ-it ɣef tiḥeṛci-ines axaṭer arraw n ddunit-agi ḥeṛcen di lecɣal wway gar-asen akteṛ n warraw n tafat.
8And the lord praised the unrighteous steward because he had done prudently. For the sons of this world are, for their own generation, more prudent than the sons of light.
9Ma d nekk atan a wen-d iniɣ: sxedmet adrim n ddunit-agi iwakken aț-țesɛum imdukkal, s wakka asm'ara yefnu cci n ddunit, aț-țețțuqeblem di tmezduɣin n dayem.
9And *I* say to you, Make to yourselves friends with the mammon of unrighteousness, that when it fails ye may be received into the eternal tabernacles.
10Ma nesɛa laman deg yiwen ɣef tɣawsiwin timecṭuḥin, a nețkel fell-as ula ɣef tmeqqranin ; win yellan d axeddaɛ di tɣawsiwin timecṭuḥin, ad yili d axeddaɛ ula di tmeqqranin.
10He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much; and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
11Ma yella tețḍeggiɛem leṛẓaq n ddunit-agi, anwa ara kkun-iwekklen ɣef leṛẓaq n tideț ?
11If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true?
12Ma yella ulac daɣen laman deg-wen ɣef wayen i wen-iwekkel walebɛaḍ, amek ara wen-d-yefk Sidi Ṛebbi ayen i wen-ihegga i kunwi ?
12and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who shall give to you your own?
13Ulac aqeddac ara iqedcen ɣef sin yemɛellmen : ma iḥemmel yiwen ad ikṛeh wayeḍ neɣ ma yeṭṭef deg yiwen ur yețțak ara lqima i wayeḍ. Ur tezmirem ara aț-țqedcem ɣef Ṛebbi ma yella tettabaɛem leṛẓaq n ddunit agi.
13No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will cleave to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14Ifariziyen i gesmeḥsisen i wayen i d-iqqaṛ Sidna Ɛisa, stehzayen fell-as axaṭer nutni ḥemmlen idrimen ;
14And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and mocked him.
15ma d nețța yenna-yasen : Tesbegginem-d iman-nwen d iḥeqqiyen zdat medden, meɛna Sidi Ṛebbi yessen ulawen-nwen ; ayen yesɛan ccan ɣer yemdanen di ddunit-agi, d ayen yețwakeṛhen ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi.
15And he said to them, *Ye* are they who justify themselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what amongst men is highly thought of is an abomination before God.
16Uqbel lweqt n Yeḥya aɣeṭṭas, kullec iteddu s ccariɛa n Musa d wayen i d-xebbṛen lenbiya. Tura, lexbaṛ n lxiṛ yeɛnan tgelda n Ṛebbi ițțubecceṛ ; mkul yiwen yekkat amek ara ț-ikcem s ddreɛ.
16The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the glad tidings of the kingdom of God are announced, and every one forces his way into it.
17Yeshel i igenni d lqaɛa ad fnun, ma d ccariɛa n Sidi Ṛebbi ur ițțanqas seg-s ula d yiwen n usekkil.
17But it is easier that the heaven and the earth should pass away than that one tittle of the law should fail.
18Kra n win ara yebrun i tmeṭṭut-is iɛawed zzwaǧ, yezna ; kra n win ara yaɣen tameṭṭut yennebran, yezna daɣen.
18Every one who puts away his wife and marries another commits adultery; and every one that marries one put away from a husband commits adultery.
19Yiwen wergaz d ameṛkanti, ițlusu anagar llebsa ifazen n leḥrir aṛqaq ; mkul ass ixeddem tameɣṛa, ițɛici di zzhu d lfeṛḥ.
19Now there was a rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day.
20Yiwen igellil isem-is Laɛẓar, iččuṛ d ideddiyen, ițɣimi ɣer tewwurt n umeṛkanti-nni,
20And [there was] a poor man, by name Lazarus, [who] was laid at his gateway full of sores,
21iṭṭamaɛ deg-s ad yečč ɣas d ayen i gɣellin ɣer lqaɛa ; ula d iqjan țțasen-d ad mecḥen ideddiyen-is.
21and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming licked his sores.
22Asmi yemmut uẓawali-nni, ddment-eț lmalayekkat wwint-eț ɣer igenni ɣer wanda yella Ibṛahim. Ameṛkanti-nni yemmut ula d nețța, meḍlen-t.
22And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23Di laxeṛt yenɛețțab aṭas, yerfed allen-is, iwala mebɛid Ibṛahim akk-d Laɛẓar ɣer tama-s.
23And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24Iɛeggeḍ yenna-yas : « A baba Ibṛahim, ḥunn fell-i ceggeɛ-ed Laɛẓar ad iger ulamma d ixef n uḍad-is deg waman ad issismeḍ iles-iw, aql-i nneɛtabeɣ aṭas deg uḥǧaǧu-yagi n tmes. »
24And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.
25Ibṛahim yerra-yas : A mmi, mmekti-d belli tewwiḍ amur-ik di ddunit ; ma d Laɛẓar yeṛwa lehmum. Tura nețța yețțuṣebbeṛ yufa dagi lfeṛḥ, kečč iṣaḥ-ik-id lqeṛḥ.
25But Abraham said, Child, recollect that *thou* hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and *thou* art in suffering.
26Yerna yella gar-aneɣ yiwen yeɣzeṛ annect ila-t, wid yebɣan ad zegren sya ɣuṛ-wen, ur zmiren ara ; kunwi daɣen ur tezmirem ara a d-zegrem ɣuṛ-nneɣ.
26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who [desire to cross] from there pass over unto us.
27Ameṛkanti-nni yenna-yas : Ihi a baba Ibṛahim di leɛnaya-k ceggeɛ Laɛẓar ɣer wexxam n baba ;
27And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father,
28ad iɛeggen i xemsa-nni wayetma, iwakken ur d-țțasen ara ula d nutni ɣer wemkan-agi n leɛtab.
28for I have five brothers, so that he may earnestly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
29Ibṛahim yerra-yas : Atmaten-ik ɣuṛ-sen ccariɛa n Musa d lenbiya, a ten-tebɛen !
29But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.
30Ameṛkanti-nni yenna-yas-d : A baba Ibṛahim, ur țḥessisen ara i ccariɛa d lenbiya lameɛna ma yuɣal ɣuṛ-sen yiwen syagi, ad beddlen tikli.
30But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.
31Ibṛahim yerra-yas : M'ur semḥessen ara i ccariɛa n Musa d lenbiya, atan ɣas ma yuɣal yiwen si lmegtin ur as-smeḥsisen ara.
31And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among [the] dead will they be persuaded.
