Ang Dayaon nga Tinugyanan

16 Nagsugid si Jesus sang isa ka paanggid sa iya mga sumulunod. Siling niya, “May isa ka manggaranon nga may suluguon nga gintugyanan niya sang iya mga pagkabutang. Karon may nagsugid sa manggaranon nga ang iya mga pagkabutang ginausikan lang sang iya tinugyanan nga suluguon. Gani ginpatawag niya siya kag ginhambalan, ‘Ano ining nabatian ko nga ginausikan mo lang ang akon pagkabutang? Maayo pa magsumahay kita parte sa akon pagkabutang kay halin subong pahalinon ko na ikaw.’ Tungod nga ginapahalin na siya sang iya agalon, nagsiling siya sa iya kaugalingon, ‘Ano bala ang akon himuon? Indi ako makasarang sang mabug-at nga obra pareho sang pagkutkot sang buho, kag nahuya man ako nga magpakilimos. Ah, nahibaluan ko na kon ano ang akon himuon agod nga bisan pahalinon ako sang akon agalon may makadtuan ako nga mga tawo nga magabaton sa akon sa ila mga balay.’ Ang iya ginhimo, isa-isa niya nga ginpatawag ang mga may utang sa iya agalon. Nagpamangkot siya sa nahauna, ‘Pila ang imo utang sa akon agalon?’ Nagsabat siya, ‘100 ka lata nga lana sang olibo.’ Nagsiling ang tinugyanan sa iya, ‘Sige, ari ang lista sang imo utang, pungko kag isulat 50.’ Pagkatapos nagpamangkot siya sa ikaduha, ‘Pila ang imo utang sa akon agalon?’ Nagsabat siya, ‘100 ka sako nga trigo.[a]’ ‘Sige, ari ang lista sang imo utang, isulat nga 80 lang ka sako.’ Pagkahibalo sang agalon sang iya ginhimo, gindayaw niya ang dayaon nga tinugyanan tungod nga maayo siya magpadihot. Kay ang mga tawo nga kalibutanon mas maayo magpadihot sa ila isigkatawo sang sa mga tawo nga ginpasanagan na sang Dios.

“Gani sugiran ko kamo, bisan matuod nga ang manggad ginagamit sa pagpangdaya, gamita ninyo ini sa pagpakig-amigo, agod pag-abot sang adlaw nga wala na ini nga manggad, batunon nila[b] kamo didto sa puluy-an nga wala na sing katapusan. 10 Ang tawo nga masaligan sa gagmay nga mga butang masaligan man sa dalagko nga mga butang. Kag ang tawo nga nagadaya sa gagmay nga mga butang, nagadaya man sa dalagko nga mga butang. 11-12 Gani kon indi kamo masaligan sa manggad sa kalibutan nga indi gid inyo, sin-o ang magatugyan sa inyo sang matuod gid nga manggad nga napreparar para sa inyo?

13 “Wala sing suluguon nga makaalagad sa duha ka agalon. Kay magasikway siya sa isa kag magahigugma sa isa; magadampig siya sa isa kag magapakalain sa isa. Indi man kamo makaalagad sing dungan sa Dios kag sa manggad.”

Ang Iban pa gid nga mga Butang nga Gintudlo ni Jesus(A)

14 Pagkabati sadto sang mga Pariseo, ginyaguta nila si Jesus kay dalok gid sila sa kuwarta. 15 Nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Ginapakita-kita lang ninyo sa mga tawo nga maayo kamo. Pero nahibaluan sang Dios kon ano gid ang sa inyo tagipusuon. Kay ang mga butang nga ginapasulabi sang tawo ginakahigkuan sang Dios.

16 “Sa wala pa mag-abot si Juan nga manugbautiso, ang Kasuguan ni Moises kag ang mga sinulatan sang mga propeta amo ang ginasunod sang mga tawo. Halin sang pag-abot ni Juan ginatudlo na ang Maayong Balita parte sa paghari sang Dios, kag madamo gid ang nagapamilit nga magpasakop. 17 Pero wala ini nagakahulugan nga nadula na ang Kasuguan. Mahapos pa nga madula ang langit kag ang duta sang sa mangin wala sing pulos bisan ang pinakagamay nga bahin sang Kasuguan.

18 “Gani kon bulagan sang lalaki ang iya asawa kag magpangasawa sang iban, nagapanginbabayi siya. Kag ang magpangasawa sa babayi nga ginbulagan nagapanginbabayi man.”

Si Lazarus kag ang Manggaranon

19 Nagpadayon pa gid si Jesus sa paghambal, “Sang una may isa ka manggaranon nga ang iya bayo malahalon gid kag nagapagusto siya sa manamit nga mga pagkaon adlaw-adlaw. 20 May isa man ka tawo nga imol nga ang iya ngalan si Lazarus. Ang iya lawas puno sang katol. Ginadala siya didto sa puwertahan sang balay sang manggaranon. 21 Gusto niya nga makakaon kuntani bisan sang mga pagkaon na lang nga nagakalahulog sa lamisa sang manggaranon. Ginapalapitan siya sang mga ido kag ginadilapan ang iya mga katol. 22 Sang ulihi napatay si Lazarus kag gindala siya sang mga anghel didto sa tupad gid ni Abraham. Ang manggaranon napatay man kag ginlubong. 23 Kag sang nagaantos siya sing puwerte gid sa impyerno[c] nakita niya sa malayo si Abraham kag didto sa iya tupad si Lazarus. 24 Gani nagsinggit ang manggaranon kay Abraham, ‘Amay Abraham, kaluoyi man ako! Sugua si Lazarus nga itum-oy niya sa tubig bisan ang iya na lang tudlo kag patuluan ang akon dila agod mabugnawan, kay puwerte gid ang akon pag-antos sa sini nga kalayo.’ 25 Pero ginsabat siya ni Abraham, ‘Anak, sang nagakabuhi ka pa sa kalibutan maayo gid ang imo kahimtangan, kag si Lazarus iya nag-antos. Pero subong ginalipay siya diri kag ikaw nagaantos. 26 Luwas pa sina, ang imo ginapangayo indi gid mahimo, tungod may dako nga kadadalman nga nagaulot sa aton, nga ang bisan sin-o diri sa amon nga gusto magsaylo dira indi gid makatabok, kag wala man sang may makatabok nga halin dira sa inyo pakadto diri sa amon.’ 27 Dayon nagsiling ang manggaranon, ‘Amay Abraham, kon amo gali sina, nagapangabay ako sa imo nga kon mahimo ipadala mo si Lazarus sa balay sang akon amay, 28 kay may lima pa ako ka utod nga lalaki, kag paandaman niya sila agod indi sila makakadto sa sini nga lugar nga puro lang pag-antos.’ 29 Pero nagsabat si Abraham, ‘Ato man didto sa ila ang mga ginsulat ni Moises kag sang mga propeta. Dapat pamatian nila ina.’ 30 Nagsabat ang manggaranon, ‘Pero amay Abraham, indi sila magpati. Pero kon may napatay nga magkadto didto sa ila, magahinulsol sila sa ila mga sala.’ 31 Pero nagsiling si Abraham, ‘Kon indi gani sila magpati sa mga ginsulat ni Moises kag sang mga propeta, ti indi man sila magpati bisan pa may mabanhaw nga patay!’ ”

The Parable of the Shrewd Manager

16 Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.(A) So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’

“The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg— I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’

“So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’

“‘Nine hundred gallons[a] of olive oil,’ he replied.

“The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’

“Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’

“‘A thousand bushels[b] of wheat,’ he replied.

“He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’

“The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world(B) are more shrewd(C) in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.(D) I tell you, use worldly wealth(E) to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.(F)

10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much,(G) and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth,(H) who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?

13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”(I)

14 The Pharisees, who loved money,(J) heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.(K) 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves(L) in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts.(M) What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.

Additional Teachings

16 “The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John.(N) Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached,(O) and everyone is forcing their way into it. 17 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.(P)

18 “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(Q)

The Rich Man and Lazarus

19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.(R) 20 At his gate was laid a beggar(S) named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table.(T) Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham,(U) have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’(V)

25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things,(W) but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.(X) 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’

27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them,(Y) so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’

29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses(Z) and the Prophets;(AA) let them listen to them.’

30 “‘No, father Abraham,’(AB) he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

16 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

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

So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust 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 man's, who shall 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 the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

23 And in hell he lift 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 tormented in this flame.

25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

27 Then 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 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto 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, though one rose from the dead.
