Luke 15
1 Ni bi kpa ban ni bi lah tre ba wa Yesu ye nasi wo wu.
Then resorted vnto him all ye publicas and synners for to heare him.
2 Farisawa ni bi nha wawu mba u baluni chi ba gurgu ni kpa mba ndi, “I gu yi ani kpa bi lahtre nani ri la me niba.”
And the pharises and scribes murmured sayinge: He receaved to his copany synners and eateth with them.
3 Yesu tre ka yiyi ni ba wu na yi.
Then put he forthe this similitude to the sayinge:
4 A nha nimi mbi, nita he ni nt'ma deri, u iri kado, “wa ana ka teseyi don tiya don na hi wa iriri njiye na?
What man of you havynge an hundred shepe yf he loose one of thee doth not leve nynty and nyne in the wyldernes and goo after yt which is loost vntyll he fynde him?
5 I dan a ka toh wu, ani ban sah kan to na ngyiri.
And whe he hath founde him he putteth him on his shulders with ioye:
6 Inde a k'maye ko, ani yo kpukpan ma, ni mri vayi bi yiu nkon kahlan ma kabi, “Ye ki ngyiri mi ka toh nt'ma mu'a wa a kado a.
And assone as he cometh home he calleth to gedder his lovers and neghbours sayinge vnto them: reioyse with me for I have founde my shepe which was loost.
7 Mi hla ni yiwu, ahe naki me ni shu me, ba ngyiri nitu indji iriri u lahtre wa a tuba'a zan indji teseyin don chiya bi wa bana lahtre na.
I say vnto you yt lyke wyse ioye shalbe in heven over one synner yt repenteth moore then over nynety and nyne iuste persons whiche nede noo repentauce.
8 Ka ana he na iwa wa ahe ni glegbe nklen a zurfa wulon, u glegbe ri ni mi ma a nawo chuku miko kado, ana mbru lu yo ni fitila ma vu kagon sran ma na wa glegbe inklen, wa a nawo kado na?
Ether what woman havynge. x. grotes yf she loose one doth not lyght a candell and swepe ye housse and seke diligently tyll she fynde it?
9 Inde a toh, “ani yo kpukpan ma ni mri vayi bi yiu kon kahlan ma wawu ye, na hla ni bawu,” ki ngyiri, mi toh glegbe iklen azurfa mu wa a kado'a ye.
And when she hath founde it she calleth her lovers and her neghbours sayinge: Reioyce wt me for I have founde the groate which I had loost.
10 Ko na ki me, “Igir he ni shishi maleku Irji ni tu indji riri u lahtre wa a kpa tre Irji sisah, a (tuba).
Lykwyse I saye vnto you ioye is made in ye presence of ye angels of god over one synner yt repenteth.
11 U Yesu tre a ndi indji ri he ni mri hari,
And he sayde: a certayne man had two sonnes
12 Ivren tsitsa, yo tima, “Iti mu, “ne” ikpi wa a ni u mu ni mi wa (dukiya) mewa u he ni wu'a “u timba a vu ikpi bi wo ma ga ni bawu hamba.
and the yonger of them sayde to his father: father geve me my parte of the goodes yt to me belongeth. And he devided vnto them his substaunce.
13 Wa a na gbron knkon na, u vren tsitsa a kblu kpi wa ba ga ba wa'a ye sru ba ni wrji ri, na vuba, ri hi ni migu gbugban mu, hi zren ma ni gbungblu, “naka ri uma kle.
And not longe after ye yonger sonne gaddered all that he had to gedder and toke his iorney into a farre countre and theare he wasted his goodes with royetous lyvinge.
14 U iyon nri ni gbu'a kagon wawu'u meme da ndi me. “I wa lu ni wa kpi u ri (iya vu).
And when he had spent all that he had ther rose a greate derth thorow out all yt same londe and he began to lacke.
15 Wa hi na ka wa ndu niti ni guri ni mi gbu'a, “Wa, ton hi ni rju mari ni ndu ta no lede ma biri.
And he went and clave to a citesyn of yt same countre which sent him to his felde to kepe his swyne.
16 Wa tie tilan u ri gbala biri wa lede ba ri don mbru'a.
And he wold fayne have filled his bely with the coddes that ye swyne ate: and noo man gave him.
17 U, imeme ma ye niwu nikpa ma, “Wa tre, A hi gran bre Itie mu vu ba ndu na ni nhan ba, u ba rila ma lan tu ba u mi son ni tiya ni yon.
Then he came to him selfe and sayde: how many hyred servauntes at my fathers have breed ynough and I dye for honger.
18 Mi lunde, ni wa yi hi ni itie mu, “ni bre wu, “Itie mu, mi lahtre ni shulu mba ni wu.
I will aryse and goo to my father and will saye vnto him: father I have synned agaynst heven and before ye
19 Na ban me ti vren me na, “Ban me tie na iri ni mi gran me wa ba tie ndu niwu.
and am no moare worthy to be called thy sonne make me as one of thy hyred servauntes.
20 U vren tsitsa lunde k'ma ye ni itie ma, wa aa ri he gbron kon ria u itie'a toh, na ya lo suron, na tsutsu ka kriu wu na ma wu yiu.
And he arose and went to his father. And when he was yet a greate waye of his father sawe him and had compassion and ran and fell on his necke and kyssed him.
21 U vren tre, Itie mu, mi lahtre ni shulu ni lah tre ni wu, mi na la son ndu yo me tie vren me na.
And the sonne sayd vnto him: father I have synned agaynst heven and in thy sight and am no moare worthy to be called thy sonne.
22 U itie ma hla ni gran ma ri ni ndu hi ya inkon lon ndindima iri na ban ye, sru niwu na ban zobe ye yo niwu ni wo ni lagban ye son ni niwu ni zah.
But his father sayde to his servautes: bringe forth that best garment and put it on him and put a rynge on his honde and showes on his fete.
23 Ni hi vu Ikrju u gon gon ma ye han wa niki ti gan.
And bringe hidder that fatted caulfe and kyll him and let vs eate and be mery:
24 Ivren mu ana kyu, zizan a he ni re
for this my sonne was deed and is alyve agayne he was loste and is now founde. And they began to be merye.
25 U vren ni kon'a, a na he ni rju. Wa ye whibuhir ni ko na wo ba tsi kangan na ni yo se na ni nglu.
The elder brother was in the felde and when he cam and drewe nye to ye housse he herde minstrelcy and daunsynge
26 Wa yo iri ni mi igran ba, na miyen a ndi a hi nge itu kpi yi.
and called one of his servauntes and axed what thoose thinges meate.
27 U igran hla ni wu, anitu wa tsitsa me a kma ye koh, u tie mendu ba nhan kikle krju u gon gon ma ni tu wa a kma ye ko pyan me.
And he sayd vnto him: thy brother is come and thy father had kylled ye fatted caulfe because he hath receaved him safe and sounde.
28 U ninkon ma tie nfu na kama ri koh, u itie mba a rju ye bre wu.
And he was angry and wolde not goo in. Then came his father out and entreated him.
29 Vren ninkon lu miyen itie, “Ya Ise gbugbu wa mi tiya niwu, mina kamu ni wo tre mena, i wu na taba ne vren yawo ri ni ndu me kpa han tan ni kpukpan mu na, ni toh ro mana.
He answered and sayde to his father: Loo these many yeares have I done the service nether brake at eny tyme thy commaundment and yet gavest thou me never soo moche as a kyd to make mery wt my lovers:
30 U vren me mba ye, iwa aka yan wo me kle ni bi ti ntran, “U ye nhan kikle ikrju niwu.
but assone as this thy sonne was come which hath devoured thy goodes with harlootes thou haste for his pleasure kylled ye fatted caulfe.
31 Itie ma yo, Ivren mu, u he ni me koko ni tana Ikoh nge wa mi he ni wu'a a hi u me.
And he sayd vnto him: Sonne thou wast ever with me and all that I have is thyne:
32 Mi toh abi ni tawu ndu ki ta tie gan, ni ta ngyiri, ama vayi me yi na kyu, “I wa he ni re zizan, ana kado, u ki la toh.
it was mete that we shuld make mery and be glad: for this thy brother was deed and is a lyve agayne: and was loste and is founde.
