LUKA 16

Setshwantsho sa mookamedi yo o sa siamang

1 Le gona a raya barutwa ba gagwe a re: “Go ne go le motho mongwe yo o humileng, a na le mookamedi wa ditiro; mme yo, o ne a latofadiwa fa pele ga gagwe gore o senya di-tsa-gagwe. 2 A mmitsa, a mo raya a re: ‘Ke eng se ke se utlwang ka ga gago? Ikarabele ka ga bookamedi jwa gago; gonne ga o ka ke wa tlhola o nna mookamedi.’ 3 Mookamedi a ikakanya a re: ‘Ke tla dirang, ka e le fa morena wa me a tlosa bookamedi mo go nna? Ga ke itse go otola, mme go kopa go ntlhabisa ditlhong.

4 Ke lemogile se ke tla se dirang gore e tle e re ke ntshiwa mo bookameding, ba tle ba ntsholele mo matlong a bone.’
5 “Jaanong a bitsa mongwe le mongwe wa ba ba molato le morena wa gagwe, a raya wa ntlha a re: ‘O molato o le kae le morena wa me?’ 6 Yoo a re: ‘Makokoko a le 200 a lookwane.’ Mookamedi a mo raya a re: ‘Tsaya lokwalo lwa gago lwa molato, o nne fa fatshe, o kwale ka bonako o re: A le 100.’

7 A tloga a raya yo mongwe a re: ‘Wena o molato o le kae?’ Yoo a re: ‘Dikgetse tsa mabele di le 300.’ Mookamedi a mo raya a re: ‘Tsaya lokwalo lwa gago lwa molato, o kwale o re: Di le 240.’

8 “Morena a boka mookamedi wa tshiamololo, ka a dirile ka botlhale; gonne bana ba lefatshe leno mo losikeng lwa bone ba tlhalefile go gaisa bana ba lesedi.”t
9 Gape ke lo raya ke re: “Itireleng ditsala ka Mamone wa tshiamololo gore e tle e re a fela, di lo tsholele mo maagong a a sa khutleng.t 10 Yo o ikanyegang mo go se sennye o ikanyega le mo go se segolo; mme yo o sa siamang mo go se sennye, ga a siama le mo go se segolo.t 11 Jaanong fa lo ne lo sa ikanyege ntlheng ya Mamone yo o sa siamang, ke mang yo o tla lo ikanyang mo khumong ya boammaaruri?

12 Fa lo ne lo sa ikanyege mo go sa boeng, ke mang yo o tla lo nayang se e leng sa lona?

13 “Ga go motlhanka ope yo o ka direlang barena ba le babedi; gonne o tla tlhoa yo mongwe, mme a rate yo mongwe; gongwe o tla ngaparela yo mongwe, mme a nyatse yo mongwe. Ga lo ka ke lwa direla Modimo le Mamone.”t

Thata ya molao

(Math. 11:12-13; 5:18; Mar. 10:11-12)

15 Mme Jesu a ba raya a re: “Ke lona ba lo itshiamisang fa pele ga batho, mme Modimo o itse dipelo tsa lona; gonne se se tlotlomaditsweng ke batho, ke makgapha fa pele ga Modimo.t
16 “Molao le baporofeti ba felela ka Johane; go tloga foo go rerwa Efangele ya puso ya Modimo, mme mongwe le mongwe o itshukunyetsa mo go yona.t

17 Go feta ga legodimo le lefatshe go ka nna botlhofo bogolo go go wela fa fatshe ga lotshwaonyana longwe lwa molao.t

18 “Mongwe le mongwe yo o tlhalang mosadi wa gagwe, a nyala o sele, o dira kgokafalo; le yo o nyalang mosadi yo o tlhadilweng ke monna, o dira kgokafalo.t

Ka ga mohumi le Lasaro

21 A eletsa go kgorisiwa ka tse di wang mo tafoleng ya mohumi: gape ga tla dintšwa, tsa latswa dintho tsa gagwe.
22 “Ya re mokopi a swa, a belegelwa ke baengele kwa sehubeng sa ga Aborahame. Mohumi le ene a swa, a fitlhwa. 23 Ya re a le mo felong ga baswi, a tsholetsa matlho a le mo ditlhokofatsong, a bona Aborahame kgakala le Lasaro a le mo sehubeng sa gagwe.

24 Ke fa a kua a re: ‘Rara Aborahame, nkutlwele botlhoko, o rome Lasaro gore a ine ntlha ya monwana wa gagwe mo metsing, a ntsidifatse loleme; gonne ke utlwa botlhoko mo kgabong e.’
25 “Mme Aborahame a re: ‘Ngwanaka, gopola gore o amogetse tse di molemo tsa gago mo bophelong jwa gago, mme Lasaro ene tse di bosula jalo; mme jaanong mono ene o a gomodiwa, mme wena o a tlhokofadiwa. 26 Mme kwa ntle ga tsotlhe tseo go na le kgophu e kgolo fa gare ga rona le lona, gore ba ba kwano ba ba ratang go fetela go lona, ba retelelwe, le ba ba koo, ba ba ratang go tla kwano go rona, ba palelwe.’ 27 Mohumi a re: ‘Rra, fa go le jalo, ke go rapela gore o mo rome kwa ntlong ya ga rre;

28 gonne ke na le bomorwa-rre ba le batlhano; a ye teng, a ba tlhagise, e se re gongwe le bone ba tla felong fano ga tlhokofatso.’
29 “Aborahame a mo fetola a re: ‘Ba na le Moše le baporofeti; a ba utlwe bone!’t 30 Mme mohumi a re: ‘Nnyaya, Aborahame rra, mme fa mongwe a tswa mo baswing, a ya kwa go bone, ba tla sokologa.’ 31 Foo Aborahame a mo raya a re: ‘Fa ba sa utlwe Moše le baporofeti, ga ba ka ke ba kgonega, le fa mongwe a ka tsoga mo baswing.’ ”

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.
