Luke 16
Maori Bible
16 A i mea ano ia ki ana akonga, Tera tetahi tangata whai rawa i mua, he tuari taonga tona; a ka korerotia ki a ia kei te maumauria e ia ana taonga.
2 Na karangatia ana ia e ia, a ka mea atu ia ki a ia, He aha tenei e rangona nei e ahau mou? korerotia mai te tikanga o nga mea i tuaritia e koe; e kore hoki e ahei kia waiho koe hei tuari.
3 Na ko te meatanga a taua tuari i roto i a ia, Me aha ahau? e tangohia ana hoki i ahau te tuaritanga e toku ariki: e kore ahau e kaha ki te keri; e whakama ana ahau ki te tono mea maku.
4 E mohio ana ahau ki taku e mea ai, mo toku peinga rawatanga atu i te tuaritanga, ka ai o ratou whare hei tukunga atu moku.
5 Na ka karangatia e ia tenei tangata, tenei tangata o te hunga i a ratou nei etahi mea a tona ariki, ka mea ia ki te tuatahi, E hia nga mea a toku ariki i a koe?
6 Na ka mea tera, Kotahi rau mehua hinu. Na ko tana meatanga ki a ia, Tangohia tau pukapuka, hohoro te noho, tuhituhia e rima tekau.
7 Katahi ia ka mea ki tetahi, E hia hoki i a koe? Ka mea ia, Kotahi rau mehua witi. na ka mea ia ki a ia, Tangohia tau pukapuka, tuhituhia e waru tekau.
8 Na ka mihia te tuari kino e tona ariki, mona i whai whakaaro: Engari hoki nga tamariki o tenei ao, i to ratou whakapaparanga, nui ke te whakaaro i to nga tamariki o te marama.
9 Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Waiho te taonga kino hei mea i etahi hoa aroha mo koutou; mo te he rawa iho, ka ai he tukunga atu mo koutou ki nga whare ora tonu.
10 Ko ia e pono ana ki te mea nohinohi rawa, e pono ano i te mea nui: ko ia e kore e tika i te mea nohinohi rawa, e kore ano e tika i te mea nui.
11 Na ki te kahore i pono ta koutou mahi ki te taonga he, ma wai e tuku ki a koutou hei tiaki i te taonga pono?
12 Ki te kahore koutou i pono i te mea a te tangata ke, ma wai e hoatu he mea ma koutou ake ki a koutou?
13 E kore e ahei i te pononga te mahi ki nga rangatira tokorua: ka kino hoki ki tetahi, ka aroha ki tetahi; ka u ranei ki tetahi, ka whakahawea ki tetahi. E kore e ahei i a koutou te mahi ki te Atua, ki te taonga.
14 A ko nga Parihi, he hunga apoapo moni, i rongo ki enei mea katoa: a ka whakahi ratou ki a ia.
15 Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou, Ko koutou te hunga e whakatikatika ana i a koutou ano i te aroaro o nga tangata; ko te Atua ia e matau ana ki o koutou ngakau: ko te mea hoki e whakanuia ana e nga tangata hei mea whakarihariha i te aroaro o te At ua.
16 I tutuki te ture me nga poropiti ki a Hoani: no reira i kauwhautia mai ai te rangatiratanga o te Atua, a taruke ana nga tangata katoa ki roto.
17 Erangi te pahemotanga o te rangi, o te whenua e takoto noa ana, e kore ia tetahi tohu o te ture e taka.
18 Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, a ka marena i tetahi atu, e puremu ana ia: ki te marena tetahi te wahine kua whakarere e te tangata, e puremu ana ia.
19 Na tera tetahi tangata whai taonga i mua, he kakahu papura ona, he rinena pai, a ko tana mahi he kai tonu i nga kai papai i nga ra katoa:
20 Na ka whakatakotoria ki tona kuwaha tetahi tangata rawakore, ko Raharuhi te ingoa, he tuwhenua,
21 E hiahia ana hoki kia whangaia ki nga kongakonga e ngahoro ana i te tepu a te tangata taonga; a ko nga kuri rawa hoki i haere mai, ka mitimiti i ona mate.
22 Nawai a ka mate te tangata rawakore, a kawea ana e nga anahera ki te uma o Aperahama: a ka mate hoki ko te tangata taonga, a tanumia ana;
23 A i te reinga ka titiro ake ia, i a ia e whakamamaetia ana, ka kite i a Aperahama i tawhiti, me Raharuhi i tona uma.
24 Na ka karanga ia, ka mea, E pa, e Aperahama, kia aroha ki ahau, tonoa mai hoki a Raharuhi ki te tou i te pito o tona matihao ki te wai, hei whakamatao i toku arero; e mamae ana hoki ahau i tenei mura.
25 Otira ka mea a Aperahama, E tama, kia mahara kua riro i a koe au mea papai i a koe e ora ana, he kino ia nga mea i a Raharuhi: na ka whakamarietia nei ia, e whakamamaetia ana koe.
26 Haunga ano enei mea katoa, kua oti te whakapumau tetahi tawha nui i waenganui o koutou, o matou: a ki te mea etahi ki te whakawhiti atu i konei ki a koutou, e kore e ahei; e kore ano e whiti mai i kona ki a matou.
27 Ano ra ko tera, Koia ahau ka mea nei ki a koe, e pa, kia tonoa ia ki te whare o toku papa:
28 Tokorima hoki oku teina; kia korero ai ia ki a ratou, kei haere mai hoki ratou ki tenei wahi mamae.
29 Ka mea a Aperahama ki a ia, Kei a ratou ra a Mohi ratou ko nga poropiti; me whakarongo ki a ratou.
30 Ka mea ia, Kahore, e pa, e Aperahama: engari ki te haere atu tetahi ki a ratou o te hunga mate, ka ripeneta ratou.
31 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, Ki te kore ratou e whakarongo ki a Mohi, ki nga poropiti hoki, e kore ano e whakaae ahakoa ara ake te tangata i te hunga mate.

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) 2 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.’
3 “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— 4 I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’
5 “So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 “‘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.’
7 “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.’
8 “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) 9 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.’”

Luke 16
King James Version
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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
