1 Jesus wen tell da guys he teaching, “You wen hear da story bout da rich guy dat get one luna, an he wen spend da rich guyʼs money on all kine stuffs?

2 So da rich guy tell da luna fo come, an he say, ‘Eh, wat dis I hear bout you? You betta give me one paper dat tell how you wen spend my money, cuz you no goin be in charge no mo.’
3 “Da luna tink, ‘Wat I goin do now? My boss goin fire me, an I not strong nuff fo dig da ditch, an I shame fo beg.

4 I know wat I goin do, so dat wen I no mo job hea, da peopo goin let me come dea house.’
5 “Den da luna tell all da guys dat owe da rich guy money fo come. He aks da first guy, ‘How plenny money you owe my boss?’ 6 Da guy say, ‘One hundred barrel olive oil.’ Da luna say, ‘Dis yoa bill. Hurry up! Sit down an write fifty.’ 7 Da luna aks anodda guy, ‘How plenny money you owe?’ He say, ‘One tousand bushel wheat.’ Da luna say, ‘Dis yoa bill. Write eight hundred.’

8 No matta da luna wen do stuff dass not right befo, now da boss talk good to him bout dis smart ting he wen do. You know, da peopo dat stick wit dis world mo smart wit da kine money stuff den da peopo dat stick wit Godʼs light.”
9 “I telling you, no matta can use money fo all kine stuff dass not right, you guys can use um too fo make friends fo yoaself. Den bumbye, wen da time come dat da money an everyting goin pau, God goin tell you guys ‘Aloha!’ inside his place dat stay foeva. 10 Whoeva do da small kine stuff he suppose to, you can trus him fo do da big kine stuff he suppose to. Whoeva no do da right ting fo da small kine stuff, you can trus him fo no do da right ting fo da big kine stuff. 11 So, no matta peopo can get money fo do stuff dass not right, if you not da kine guy peopo can trus wit even dat kine money, no way God goin trus you fo take care all his rich kine stuffs dass fo real.

12 An if nobody can trus you fo take care odda peopoʼs stuffs, no way God goin give you stuff fo yoaself.”

13 “Da worka guy no can work, an two boss guys own him same time. Bumbye he goin hate one boss an love da odda boss. He goin do good kine stuff fo one boss an tink bad bout da odda boss. You no can work fo da God dass fo real an da money god.”
14 But da Pharisee guys, dey love money. Wen dey hear all da stuff Jesus wen say, dey make fun a him.

15 Jesus tell um, “You da guys dat tell da peopo you do da right kine stuff, but God know how you guys stay inside. Da stuff da peopo tink stay real good, dass da stuff God tink no good.”

16 “Had da Rules Moses wen write down, an da stuff da guys dat talk fo God wen write down, till John Da Baptiza Guy come. Afta dat us guys tell da Good Stuff bout how peopo can get God fo dea King, an everybody stay jamming, cuz dey like get God fo dea King.

17 Stay mo easy fo da sky an da earth fo go pau den fo one litto line from Godʼs Rules fo go pau.

18 “Whoeva dump his wife an marry anodda wahine, dass jalike he stay fool aroun somebody not his wife. An da guy dat marry one wahine afta her husban wen dump her, dass jalike he stay fool aroun wit anodda guyʼs wife.”

Da Rich Guy An Lazarus


19 Jesus say, “One time had one rich guy dat wear da rich kine clotheses. Everytime he live jalike one king. 20 Had one begga guy name Lazarus dat get sores all ova him. Every day his friends wen put him down by da rich guyʼs gate.

21 You know, he like eat da stuff dat fall down from da rich guyʼs table. An da dogs even wen come lick his sores.
22 “Bumbye da begga guy wen mahke an da angel guys carry him by Abrahamʼs side wit God. An da rich guy mahke too, an dey bury him.

23 Inside da Mahke Peopoʼs Place da rich guy wen suffa plenny, an he look up. He spock Abraham far away wit God, wit Lazarus by his side.

24 “So he yell, ‘Eh Abraham, my ancesta guy! Pity me an send Lazarus fo dip da tip a his finga in water fo cool my tongue, cuz I stay suffa plenny inside dis fire.’
25 “But Abraham say, ‘My boy, rememba dat wen you wen stay alive, you wen get all da good kine stuffs, an Lazarus wen get all da bad kine stuffs. Now he stay good ova hea, an you stay suffa inside dis fire.

26 Anodda ting, in da middle get one real big ditch. You stay on one side, an we stay on da odda. Da peopo dat like go from ova hea to you no can, an da peopo dat like go from ova dea to ova hea no can.’
27 “Da rich guy say, ‘Den I beg you, cuz you my ancesta guy, send Lazarus to my faddaʼs house,

28 cuz I get five bruddas. He gotta tell dem bout dis place, so dat dey no come hea an suffa.’

29 “Abraham say, ‘Yoa bruddas get Moses Rules, an da tings da odda guys dat talk fo God wen write down inside da Bible. Yoa bruddas can hear wat dey say.’

30 “But da rich guy say, ‘No way, Abraham, my ancesta guy! But if one guy come back to dem from mahke, dey goin come sorry fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do, an pau do um.’
31 “But Abraham say, ‘If dey no listen to Moses Rules, an to da guys dat wen talk fo God, dey no goin listen an trus God, even if one guy come back alive from mahke.’ ”

Luke 16

1 And 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.2 And 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 And 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.4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.5 And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty.7 Then 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 And 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 And 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.10 He 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.11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?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. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.14 And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him.15 And 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 The 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.17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.18 Every 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 Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:20 and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,21 and 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 And 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.23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.24 And 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 But 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.26 And 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 And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house;28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.29 But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.
