unrighteous wealth
See how you translated this in Luke 16:9. Possible meanings are 1) Jesus uses metonymy when he calls money "unrighteous" because people sometimes earn it or use it in unrighteous ways. Alternate translation: "even money that you earned dishonestly" or 2) Jesus uses hyperbole when he calls money "unrighteous" because it has no eternal value. Alternate translation: "money, which has no eternal value" or "by using worldly money" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole)
who will trust you with true wealth?
Jesus uses a question to teach the people. Alternate translation: "no one will trust you with true wealth." or "no one will give you true wealth to manage." (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)
true wealth
This refers to wealth that is more genuine, real, or lasting than money.
