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.

¹O Jesus mai phendia peske slugenge, "Iek manush barvalo sas les iek manush kai lelas sama katar lesko kher ai phuvia; ai andek dies vari kon phendia leske ke o manush kai lelas sama katar lesko kher ai phuvia zidilas pesko love.

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.’

²O gazda akhardia les, ai phendia leske, "So ashunav pa tute? Phen mange sar kerdian le dielensa kai thodem tu te les sama; ke nashti mai mekav tu te le sama katar murho kher vai phuvia."

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.

³"O manush kai lelas sama katar o kher ai phuvia phenelas ande peste, "So te kerav akana? Kai murho gazda chi mai mekel ma te lav sama katar lesko kher ai phuvia: Nashti lasharav e phuv; lazhav mange te mangav zhutimos.

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

⁴Zhanav so kerava, kana gonila ma murho gazda, avela mange vortacha te primina ma pe lenge khera."

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

⁵Antunchi akhardia iek po iek sa kukulen kai kamenas vari so peske gazdaske, ai phendia le pervoneske, "Sode kames murhe gazdaske?"

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.’

⁶"Iek shel bidoia vuloi," phendia leske. Ai wo phendia leske, "Le cho tiketo, sigo besh tele, ai ramosar panvardesh."

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.’

⁷Porme phendia avreske, "Sode kames tu?" Phendia, "Iek shel musuri jiv. Ai wo phendia leske, "Le cho tiketo, ai ramosar oxtovardesh."

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.

⁸Antunchi o manush barvalo phendia ka o bezexalo manush kai lelas sama katar lesko kher ai phuvia, "Kerdia mishto," Ke le manush anda kadia lumia si ande lengi vitsa mai gojaver de sar le manush la vediaraki.

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.

⁹"Ai me phenav tumenge, keren tumenge vortacha le barvalimasa kadala phuviako, saxke, kana chi mai avela tume, won sai primina tume andek kher kai chi mai getolpe.

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.

¹⁰Kodo kai si lasho andel tsinorhe dieli si lasho vi andel bare; ai kodo kai nai lasho andel tsinorhe dieli vi andel bare nai lasho.

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

¹¹Te chi sanas lasho le barvalimasa la lumiako, kon jinel pe tute le barvalimasa chacho?

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

¹²Ai te chi sanas lasho andel kolavreske dieli, kon dela tume so si tumaro?

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. .”

¹³Chi iek sluga nashti podail duie gazdan; ke wo gretsola iek ai leske drago o kolaver; astardiola ka iek, vai vurhitsila le kolavres. Nashti podais le Devles ai le love."

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

¹⁴Le Farizeanuria ashunde so phendia O Jesus, ai marenas mui lestar ke lenge drago sas le love.

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.

¹⁵O Jesus phendia lenge, "Tume roden te kerdion vorta angal manush, numa O Del zhanel tumare ile; ke so miazol baro le manushenge nai kanch angla Del.

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.

¹⁶O zakono le Mosesoske ai o ramomos le profetonge ashile zhi kai vriama le Iovanoske o baptisto; de katar kodia vriama e lashi viasta pa e amperetsia le Devleski phendi la, ai swako zumavel peska zorasa te del andre.

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.

¹⁷Mai vushoro o cheri ai e phuv te naken, de sar e mai tsinorhi vorba kai si ando zakono te nakhel (te faltil).

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

¹⁸Kon godi kai dela drom peska rhomnia ai ansurilpe avriasa, kerdia kurvia; ai kon godi ansurilape zhuvliasa kai meklia la, lako rhom pale kerdia kurvia.

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

¹⁹"Sas ek manush barvalo, kai vuriarelaspe andel mai shukar tsalia ai le mai kuchi, ai swako dies sas les shukar traio ai xalas lasho xabe.

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

²⁰Sas iek manush chorho kai busholas Lazarus, beshelas pasha lesko vudar, peske pugniansa kai sas pe leste.

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.

²¹Kamlino te xal le kozhi kai perenas pai skafidi le barvaleske; ai inker le zhukel mai avenas te den la shibasa pa leske pugnia.

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.

²²O chorho manush mulo, ai le angeluria angerde les andel vas le Abrahamoske. Vi o barvalo mulo, ai groposarde les.

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

²³Ai ando iado wo vazdia leske iakha, ai de dural diklia le Abrahomos ai o Lazarus sas pasha leste.

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.’

²⁴O barvalo manush tsipisardia, "Murho dat, Abraham, av tuke mila anda mande, ai trades o Lazarus te chindarel o gor peske naiesko ando pai, ai te chindarel murhi shib; ke chinuiv zurales ande kadia iag!"

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.

²⁵Numa o Abraham phendia, "Murho shav, seres tu ke sas tu lashimos ande cho traio pe phuv, ai o Lazarus chinuisardia pe phuv; akana wo raduimelo ai tu chinuis."

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.’

²⁶Inker si mashkar amende ai mashkar tumende iek bari gropa, saxke kukula kai mangen te nakhen katsar, tumende vai tumendar, amende nashtin.

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

²⁷Porme o barvalo manush phendia, "Rhugiv ma tute, murho dat, O Abraham, trade o Lazarus ando kher murho dadesko:

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

²⁸Ke si ma pansh phral; te mothol lenge te arakhenpe, te na aresen vi won ande parha."

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

²⁹O Abraham phendia leske, "Si le o ramomos le Mosesosko ai le profetongo te phenen lenge, ashunen lende." Ai o barvalo manush phendia,

³⁰ “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

³⁰"Nichi, murho dat, Abraham; numa te zhala vari kon andal mule karing lende, antunchi keinape."

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.’”

³¹Numa o Abraham phendia leske, "Te na ashunena so mothol o Moses ai le profeturia, won chi pachana vi te zhuvindil vari kon andal mule."
