Luke 15
1 Kaidong hole adang michonse ho Yeshua thuhil ngai dingin ahung jiuvin ahi.
Now the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners were everywhere in the habit of coming close to Him to listen to Him;
2 Hiche hin Pharisee hole hou danthu hil ho aphunchel sah tan, michonse hotoh akipol'in nejong anekhom uve! tin aseitauve.
and this led the Pharisees and the Scribes indignantly to complain, saying, "He gives a welcome to notorious sinners, and joins them at their meals!"
3 Hijeh chun Yeshuan hiche thusim hi aseipeh in ahi:
So in figurative language He asked them,
4 “Mikhat in kelngoi jakhat neihen chule alah'a khat chu vahmang taleh, ipi bol tantem? Adang somko le ko ho chu gamthip a adalhah'a chule avahmang pachu amu tokah'a agahol lou ding ham?
"Which of you men, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in their pasture and go in search of the lost one till he finds it?
5 Chuteng ahinmu tengleh, kipah tah in a'in lam'a din alengkouvah hin kipoh tante.
And when he has found it, he lifts it on his shoulder, glad at heart.
6 Ahung vailhun tengleh amapan aloi agol chule aheng akom koukhom in tin, ‘Nei kipa khom piuvin ajeh chu keiman ka kelngoi mangna chu kakimutai’ tinte.
Then coming home he calls his friends and neighbours together, and says, 'Congratulate me, for I have found my sheep--the one I had lost.'
7 Chutobang a chu michonse khat in lunghei na aneiya Pathen lama akile kit chun adang somko le ko lunghei ngailou michonpha ho chung sangin van'ah kipana aume. Sum-Pum Kimansah
I tell you that in the same way there will be rejoicing in Heaven over one repentant sinner--more rejoicing than over ninety-nine blameless persons who have no need of repentance.
8 Ahilouleh, tekah nan, numei khat hin sum dangka som aneiyin chule khat amansah tai. Amanun meivah adet'a insung pumpi atheh'a chule chingthei tah'a amu tokah'a ahol lou ding ham?
"Or what woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully till she finds it?
9 Chule amanun hichu amuteng, aloi apai chule aheng akom cheng akoukhom ding, ‘Nei kipapiuvin, ajeh chu kasum mang kakinungmu tai’ atiding ahi.
And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, and says, "'Congratulate me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.'
10 Chutobang chun van'ah Pathen Vantilte pan na'in, michonse khatseh lunghei na chungah kipana aum'e” ati.
"I tell you that in the same way there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one repentant sinner."
11 Athusei hilchet be theina din hiche thusim hi aseiyin ahi: “Mikhat in chapa ni aneiye.
He went on to say, "There was a man who had two sons.
12 Aneojo pan apa jah'a, ‘Nathi masangin nanei nagou kachan ding ho tun kadei tai’ ati. Hijeh chun apan achateni chu anei agou ho hoppeh dingin anomtai.
The younger of them said to his father, "'Father, give me the share of the property that comes to me.' "So he divided his wealth between them.
13 Niphabep jouvin hiche chapa neojo pa chun anei jouse akisemtup in mun gamlatah a dingin achetai, chule hia chun asum le pai jouse hindan kinomsah nan asumang tai.
No long time afterwards the younger son got all together and travelled to a distant country, where he wasted his money in debauchery and excess.
14 Chutia asum akiman chai phat chun, gamsunga chun kel nasatah alhan, kel athoh pan tai.
At last, when he had spent everything, there came a terrible famine throughout that country, and he began to feel the pinch of want.
15 Chumun'a loulhoumi khat in natoh apeh na dingin akithujon, amapan jong aloumun langah vohchate vah dingin asol'in ahi.”
So he went and hired himself to one of the inhabitants of that country, who sent him on to his farm to tend swine;
16 Khangdong pachu agilkel lheh tan, vohchate anehsah ji voh-an jeng jong chu twilheh dingin amitmun akilang tan ahi. Ahivangin koiman nehding ape tapon ahi.
and he longed to make a hearty meal of the pods the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
17 “Achainakeiya ahung khahdoh phat chun, ama le ama akihoulim in, Ka-in ah soh thalah ho jengin jong anehval set'u anneh aneiyun, kei hiche'ah gilkel'a thidingin kaume! ati.
"But on coming to himself he said, "'How many of my father's hired men have more bread than they want, while I here am dying of hunger!
18 Ka-in a kache ding kapa koma, ‘Hepa, van le nangma dounan kachonse tai,
I will rise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you:
19 chule keima nacha tiding hoi kahitapoi. Lungset tah in soh thalah khat bangin nei sangin, tinge’ atitai.”
I no longer deserve to be called a son of yours: treat me as one of your hired men.'
20 Chuin ama apa koma dingin inlam akile tai. Chule amapa mun gamlatah ahung gei nalaiyin, apan ahung amutan ahi. Ngailutna le khotona dimset pum'in achapa komah alhaiyin, akolchuh chuh in, achoptai.
"So he rose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and pitied him, and ran and threw his arms round his neck and kissed him tenderly.
21 Achapan ahin seitai, “Hepa, keima van le nangma dounan kachonse tai, chule tun nacha tiding jong kalhing jou tapoi,” ati.
"'Father,' cried the son, 'I have sinned against Heaven and before you: no longer do I deserve to be called a son of yours.'
22 Ahinlah apan asohte komah aseitai, Gang'un! Insunga ponsil hoipen pen hinchoiyun lang silpeh un. Akhutjung'a akibu ding khutjem le akise ding kengchot hinchoiyun.
"But the father said to his servants, "'Fetch a good coat quickly--the best one--and put it on him; and bring a ring for his finger and shoes for his feet.
23 Chule bongnou ivahthao uchu that un. Eihon golvah loupi tah a ilop diu ahi,
Fetch the fat calf and kill it, and let us feast and enjoy ourselves;
24 ajehchu hiche kachapa hi athi anahitan, tua hi hung hingdoh kit ahi. Amangsa anahin, tua hi kimukit ahitai. Hiti chun golnop chu akipan tai.
for my son here was dead and has come to life again: he was lost and has been found.' "And they began to be merry.
25 Chutia aumlai chun, chapa a'upajo pachu loulanga um natong ahi. Inlam ahung kile chun, in'a chun tumging le lam gin ajatan,
"Now his elder son was out on the farm; and when he returned and came near home, he heard music and dancing.
26 chuin asohte khat komah ipi thilsoh umham ti adongin ahi.
Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant.
27 Nasopipa hung kile ahi, tin aseipeh un, chuleh napan bongnou thaotah chu athapeh ahi. Damsel'a ahunglhun jeh'a ilop'u ahi, tin aseipeh tai.
"'Your brother has come,' he replied; 'and your father has had the fat calf killed, because he has got him home safe and sound.'
28 A'upajo pachu alung hangin insung alut tapon ahi. Apa ahungdoh in ahung tem'e,
"Then he was angry and would not go in. But his father came out and entreated him.
29 ahin aman adonbut in, Kum hijat hi nasoh banga kaum chule bol'in nati jouse kada na umkhalou ahi. Chuleh hiche phat jouse achun nangman kaloi kagol hotoh kaneh khom diuvin kelcha nou khatbeh neinape khapoi.
"'All these years,' replied the son, 'I have been slaving for you, and I have never at any time disobeyed any of your orders, and yet you have never given me so much as a kid, for me to enjoy myself with my friends;
30 Ahivangin hiche nachapan noti ho chunga nasum jouse aveichai nungin, nangman bongnou thaotah nathapeh in nalop peh e, ati.
but now that this son of yours is come who has eaten up your property among his bad women, you have killed the fat calf for him.'
31 Apan ajah'a aseiyin, “Ven, kachapa ngaitah, nangma kakomah naum jinge, chuleh kanei jouse jong hi nanga ahi.
"'You my dear son,' said the father, 'are always with me, and all that is mine is also yours.
32 Eihon hiche kipa nikho hi ilop diu ahi. Ijeh inem itile nasopipa hi athi'ah ahitan chule hung hingdoh kit ahi! Amangsa anahin, hinlah tun akimutai!” ati.
We are bound to make merry and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life, he was lost and has been found.'"
