Lucas 16
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Sambingay bahin sa Limbongan nga Tinugyanan
16 Nagsugilon na usab si Jesus sa iyang mga tinun-an, “May usa ka adunahan nga may sulugoon nga gitugyanan niya sa iyang mga kabtangan. Karon may nagsulti sa adunahan nga ang iyang mga kabtangan giusik-usikan lang sa iyang tinugyanan nga sulugoon. 2 Busa gipatawag niya kini ug miingon, ‘Unsa man kining akong nadunggan nga giusik-usikan mo lang kuno ang akong mga kabtangan? Maayo pa magsumadahay kita sa akong kabtangan kay pagkahuman, papahawaon ko na ikaw.’ 3 Tungod kay papahawaon na siya sa iyang agalon miingon siya sa iyang kaugalingon, ‘Unsa may akong himuon? Dili ako makahimo sa bug-at nga trabaho sama sa pagkalot ug bangag, ug maulaw usab ako nga magpakilimos. 4 Ah, nahibaloan ko na kon unsa ang akong himuon aron nga bisan ug papahawaon na ako sa akong agalon may maduolan gihapon ako nga modawat kanako didto sa ilang balay.’ 5 Ang iyang gihimo, tagsa-tagsa niyang gipatawag ang mga nakautang sa iyang agalon. Nangutana siya sa nauna, ‘Pila ang imong utang sa akong agalon?’ 6 Gitubag siya, ‘100 ka tibod nga lana sa olibo.’ Miingon ang tinugyanan kaniya, ‘Sige, ania ang imong resibo, lingkod ug isulat nga 50 lang ka tibod.’ 7 Pagkahuman nangutana siya sa ikaduha, ‘Pila ang imong utang sa akong agalon?’ Gitubag siya, ‘100 ka sakong trigo.’ ‘Sige, ania ang imong resibo, isulat nga 80 lang ka sako.’ 8 Pagkahibalo sa agalon sa iyang gihimo, gidayeg niya ang limbongan nga tinugyanan sa kaabtik niini tungod kay nakapangandam na kini alang sa iyang umaabot. Kay ang mga tawo nga mipalabi sa mga butang dinhi sa kalibotan mas abtik makig-angay sa sama kanila kaysa mga gilamdagan na sa Dios.”
9 “Busa sultihan ko kamo, gamita ninyo ang inyong bahandi dinhi sa kalibotan alang sa pakighigala, aron nga sa pag-abot sa adlaw nga mahurot na ang kalibotanon nga bahandi, dawaton nila[a] kamo didto sa puloy-anan nga wala nay kataposan. 10 Ang tawo nga kasaligan sa gagmay nga mga butang kasaligan usab sa dagkong mga butang. Ug ang tawo nga limbongan sa gagmay nga mga butang, limbongan usab sa dagkong mga butang. 11-12 Busa kon dili kamo kasaligan sa bahandi sa kalibotan nga dili inyo, kinsa man kaha ang motugyan kaninyo sa tinuod gayod nga bahandi nga giandam na unta alang kaninyo?
13 “Walay sulugoon nga makaalagad sa duha ka agalon. Tungod kay isalikway niya ang usa ug higugmaon niya ang usa; modapig siya sa usa ug tamayon niya ang usa. Dili usab ninyo madungan ang pag-alagad sa Dios ug sa bahandi.”
Ang Uban pang Pagtulon-an ni Jesus
(Mat. 11:12-13; 5:31-32; Mar. 10:11-12)
14 Pagkadungog niadto sa mga Pariseo, gibugalbugalan nila si Jesus tungod kay hinguwarta man sila. 15 Miingon si Jesus kanila, “Nagpakaaron-ingnon lang kamo sa mga tawo nga maayo kamo. Apan nahibaloan sa Dios kon unsa ang anaa sa inyong kasingkasing. Kay ang gipalabi sa tawo ginadumtan sa Dios.”
16 “Sa wala pa muabot si Juan nga tigbautismo, ang Kasugoan ni Moises ug ang mga sinulat sa mga propeta mao ang ginatamdan sa mga tawo. Sukad sa pag-abot ni Juan gitudlo na ang Maayong Balita mahitungod sa paghari sa Dios, ug daghan gayod ang namugos nga magpasakop. 17 Apan wala kini magkahulogan nga wala nay kapuslanan ang Kasugoan. Posible pa nga mahanaw ang langit ug ang yuta kaysa mahimong walay kapuslanan ang pinakagamay nga bahin sa Kasugoan.”
18 “Busa ang mobulag sa iyang asawa ug mangasawa sa lain nakapanapaw. Ug ang mangasawa sa babaye nga gibulagan nakapanapaw usab.”
Si Lazaro ug ang Adunahan
19 Nagpadayon si Jesus sa pagsulti, “Kaniadto may usa ka adunahan nga nagbisti ug mahalon ug nagpatuyang siya sa mga lamian nga pagkaon adlaw-adlaw. 20 May usa usab ka kabos nga ang iyang ngalan si Lazaro. Ang iyang lawas nalukop ug mga nuka. Gidala siya didto sa pultahan sa balay sa adunahan. 21 Gusto unta niya nga makakaon bisan na lang sa mga mumho nga nangatagak gikan sa lamisa sa adunahan. Giduolan siya sa mga iro ug gitilapan ang iyang mga nuka. 22 Sa kaulahian, namatay si Lazaro ug gidala siya sa mga anghel didto sa tapad ni Abraham. Ang adunahan namatay usab ug gilubong. 23 Samtang nagaantos siya pag-ayo didto sa impiyerno, nakita niya sa layo si Abraham ug didto sa iyang tapad si Lazaro. 24 Busa misinggit ang adunahan kang Abraham, ‘Abraham, amahan ko, kaloy-i intawon ako! Sugoa si Lazaro nga ituslob sa tubig ang iyang tudlo ug patuloan ang akong dila aron mabugnawan, kay hilabihan gayod ang akong pag-antos sa kainit niining kalayo.’ 25 Apan gitubag siya ni Abraham, ‘Anak, samtang nagkinabuhi ka pa sa kalibotan maayo gayod ang imong kahimtang, ug si Lazaro nagaantos. Apan karon malipayon siya dinhi ug ikaw nagaantos. 26 Gawas pa niana, ang imong gipangayo dili gayod mahimo, tungod kay may lawom nga bung-aw nga nagaulang kanato nga si bisan kinsa dinhi kanamo nga gustong moanha diha dili gayod makatabok, ug walay usa usab nga gikan diha kaninyo nga makatabok dinhi kanamo.’ 27 Miingon pa gayod ang adunahan, ‘Abraham, amahan ko, kon mao kana, hangyoon ko ikaw nga kon mahimo ipadala si Lazaro ngadto sa balay sa akong amahan, 28 kay may lima pa ako ka mga igsoong lalaki, ug pasidan-an niya sila aron dili sila makaanhi niining dapita nga pulos lang pag-antos.’ 29 Apan mitubag si Abraham, ‘Atua na man didto kanila ang mga sinulat ni Moises ug sa mga propeta. Kinahanglan patalinghogan nila kini.’ 30 Mitubag ang adunahan, ‘Apan Abraham, amahan ko, dili sila motuo. Apan kon may moadto kanila gikan kanato, maghinulsol sila sa ilang mga sala.’ 31 Apan miingon si Abraham, ‘Kon dili sila motuo sa mga sinulat ni Moises ug sa mga propeta, nan, dili usab sila motuo bisan pag may mabanhaw nga patay!’ ”

Luke 16
New International Version
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
New King James Version
The Parable of the Unjust Steward
16 He also said to His disciples: “There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was [a]wasting his goods. 2 So he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an (A)account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.’
3 “Then the steward said within himself, ‘What shall I do? For my master is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4 I have 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 master’s debtors to him, and said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ 6 And he said, ‘A hundred [b]measures of oil.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ 7 Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ So he said, ‘A hundred [c]measures of wheat.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ 8 So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than (B)the sons of light.
9 “And I say to you, (C)make friends for yourselves by unrighteous [d]mammon, that when [e]you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home. 10 (D)He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. 11 Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12 And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your (E)own?
13 (F)“No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
The Law, the Prophets, and the Kingdom
14 Now the Pharisees, (G)who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they [f]derided Him. 15 And He said to them, “You are those who (H)justify yourselves (I)before men, but (J)God knows your hearts. For (K)what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 (L)“The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. 17 (M)And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one [g]tittle of the law to fail.
18 (N)“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and [h]fared sumptuously every day. 20 But there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, full of sores, who was laid at his gate, 21 desiring to be fed with [i]the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to (O)Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 “Then 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 (P)cool my tongue; for I (Q)am tormented in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, (R)remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.’
27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham said to him, (S)‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, (T)‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, (U)neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ ”
