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.

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.

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.’

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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. .”

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.’

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.

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.

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.

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.’

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

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