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!'

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.

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!'

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.’

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.'

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.

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.'

⁴ I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, 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?'

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

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.’

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.'

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.’

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'.

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.

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

¹¹ If therefore you 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?

¹² If you 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'."

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. .”

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

¹⁴The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also 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.

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.

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.

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.

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'.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

²⁰ 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.’

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.

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.

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.'

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.’

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

²⁷ “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would 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.'

²⁸ for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won’t 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.'

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

³⁰ “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes 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'.'"

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.’”
