¹Na'uli' wo'o-mi Yesus mpo'uli' -raka ana'guru-na: "Ria hadua topo'ua', pai' ria-ki hadua topobago-na to ngkakamu doi-na. Ria to mpakilu topobago toei hi topo'ua', ra'uli': `Ntora napewai' mara-hana doi-nu!'

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.

²Toe pai' topo'ua' toei mpokio' topobago-na, na'uli' -ki: `Napa-di to ku'epe to rapakilu-koko toi-e? Wae lau, popehuwu-ka hawe'ea buku popa'intaa. Ngkai eo toe lau, uma-pi iko to ngkakamu ka'uaa' -ku!'

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.

³"Mokanono-imi topobago toei, na'uli': `Napa-le' to kubabehi-e? Naleso' -ama mpai' sepu' -ku ngkai bago-ku. Momangki uma kukulei'. Kakarapi' -rapi', me'ea' -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.

⁴Ngkai ree na'uli': `Aa, ria akala-ku! Apa' neo' raleso' -ama ngkai bago-kue, agina mpali' ncala' -a bale-ku wori' -wori', bona hira' mpai' mpotarima-a hi tomi-ra.'

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

⁵"Jadi' ngkai ree, nakio' -mi butu dua tauna to mo'inta hi sepu' -na. Hi to lomo' -na na'uli': `Hangkuja inta-nu hi sepu' -ku?'

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

⁶"Metompoi' tauna toei: `Tolu ncobu lite lana.' "Na'uli' topobago toei: `Oi sura popa'intaa-nu. Mohura-moko, uki' pesahui, hancobu lima atu lite-wadi!'

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

⁷"Oti toe, pai' na'uli' -ki karodua-na: `Hiaa' iko, hangkuja-kowo inta-nu?' "Natompoi' -hawo: `Hancobu karu' pae.' "Na'uli' topobago toei: `Ohe'i sura inta-nu, uki' -mi walu atu karu' -wadi.'

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.

⁸"Kana'epe-na topo'ua' napa to nababehi topobago-na to bengku' gau' -na tetui, na'une' lau-imi, apa' pante-i-hana mpali' akala-na bona lompe' katuwu' -na. Apa' tauna to uma mpo'incai Pue' Ala, meliu kapante-ra mpo'urusi katuwu' -ra hante hingka doo-ra, ngkai kapante-ra tauna to hi rala kabajaa-na Pue' Ala mpo'urusi katuwu' -ra hi eo mpeno.

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.

⁹"Toe pai' ku'uli' -kokoi: Kana tapake' ka'uaa' hi dunia' tohe'i mpotulungi doo, bona ane uma-pi mpai' mokalaua ka'uaa' dunia' toi, ratarima lompe' -ta hi po'ohaa' to tida duu' kahae-hae-na.

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.

¹⁰Tauna to ma'ala rasarumaka hante rewa to hangkedi', ma'ala wo'o-i rasarumaka hante rewa to wori'. Tauna to uma monoa' kehi-na hante rewa to hangkedi', uma wo'o mpai' monoa' kehi-na hante rewa to wori'.

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.

¹¹Jadi', ane uma lompe' pompewili' -ta hi ka'uaa' dunia' tohe'i, hema to mposarumaka-ta hi poko ka'uaa' to hi suruga?

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

¹²Ane uma lompe' pompewili' -ta hi rewa to rasarumaka-taka hi dunia' toi, hema mpai' to mpowai' -ta rewa to jadi' anu-ta moto hi suruga?

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

¹³"Uma-hawo ria hadua topobago mobago hi rodua tua. Apa' hadua mpai' nape'ahi', hadua napokahuku'. Hadua natuku' -ki hawa' -na, hadua nasapuaka. Wae wo'o koi', uma-koi bisa mpotuku' konoa Alata'ala, pai' hamali-koi ntora mporumpu rewa dunia'."

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.

¹⁴To Parisi mpo'epe hawe'ea lolita Yesus toe. Rapotawai lau-i-wadi, apa' hira' toe-mi to mpokahina doi.

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

¹⁵Yesus mpo'uli' -raka: "Koi' tetu-mi mpemanoa' po'ingku-ni hi poncilo manusia'. Aga Alata'ala mpo'inca ihi' nono-ni. Apa' napa to rabila' manusia', napokahuku' Alata'ala.

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.

¹⁶"Napa to te'uki' hi rala Atura Musa pai' sura nabi bate-na rapake' -pidi duu' rata hi tempo Yohanes Topeniu'. Ngkai tempo toe, rapalele-mi Kareba Lompe' to mpo'uli' Alata'ala jadi' Magau' hi dunia'. Pai' wori' tauna mpohuduwukui doko' jadi' ntodea-na hi rala Kamagaua' -na toe.

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.

¹⁷Tapi' butu mela to te'uki' hi rala Atura Pue' bate kana madupa'. Mojoli-pi langi' pai' dunia' mokero, ngkai hamela lolita hi rala Atura Pue' uma madupa'.

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

¹⁸"Hema to mpogaa' -ki tobine-na pai' ncamoko hante tobine ntani' -na, mobualo' -i-hana. Pai' tauna to mpotobine kabulisa doo, mobualo' wo'o-i-hawo.

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.

¹⁹"Ria hadua topo'ua'. Pohea-na hewa pohea magau', paka' to masuli' oli-na. Tuwu' -na butu eo-na hewa toposusa' -damo.

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

²⁰Hi wobo' -na ratu'u hadua tauna to kabu, hanga' -na Lazarus. Woto-na hobo' paka' waka'.

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

²¹Doko' -i-hawo ngkoni' rupu' to mohewu' ngkai meja' topo'ua' toei. Wae-mi-hawo kampe'ahii' -na, rata wo'o-pi dike' mpojilai' waka' -na.

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.

²²"Rala-na ha'eo, mate-imi tokabu toei, pai' mala'eka mpokeni-i hilou hi pohuraa to lompe' hi ncori Abraham. Topo'ua' toei, mate wo'o-imi-hawo, pai' -i ratana.

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.

²³Hi po'ohaa' tomate, ntora ntodohaka-i. Hampengoa' -na ngkai ree, nahilo-hawo molaa lia, oe-imi mai Abraham, hante Lazarus mohura hi ncori-na.

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

²⁴Pekio' -nami topo'ua' toei, na'uli': `Mama Abraham! Poka'ahi' -a-kuwo! Hubui-i Lazarus mpotubu' karawe-na hi rala ue pai' tumai natudohi-ka-kuwo jila' -ku. Pepa rahi-mi ku'epe rala apu tohe'i!'

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.

²⁵"Na'uli' Abraham: `Kiwoi-dile ana': Bula-nu tuwu' -pidi hi rala dunia', iko mporata hawe'ea to lompe', hiaa' Lazarus-hana mporata-i paka' to dada'a. Tempo toi, tetanta'u-imi hi rehe'i, pai' iko-kowo, mporata pepa-moko.

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.

²⁶Hiaa' etu, hi olo' -ta ria tumata to bohe lia. Tauna ngkai rehe'i uma bisa tilou hi retu, pai' tauna ngkai retu uma bisa tumai hi rehe'i.'

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.

²⁷"Ngkai ree, na'uli' wo'o topo'ua' toei: `Ane wae-di Mama, kuperapi' bona nuhubui-i Lazarus hilou hi tomi tuama-ku.

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

²⁸Apa' ria-ra-pidi lima ompi' -ku. Hubui-i Lazarus mpopo'ingai' -ra bona neo' -ra mpai' tumai hi po'ohaa' pontodohakaa toi.'

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

²⁹"Na'uli' Abraham: `Ria-miraka sura to na'uki' Musa pai' nabi-nabi ntani' -na. Mpotuku' napa to te'uki' hi rala sura toe-ra-damo-rawo.'

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

³⁰"Na'uli' topo'ua' toei: `Ane muntu' toe-wadi, uma hono'! Kana ria tomate tuwu' nculii' hilou mpololitai-ra, pai' lako' medea-rada ngkai jeko' -ra!'

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

³¹"Na'uli' Abraham: `Ane lolita nabi Musa pai' nabi ntani' -na uma rapangalai', uma oa' -ra mpai' mepangala', nau' gati ria mpu'u tomate tuwu' nculii'.'"

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