Luka 15
1 Koro josol osuru gi joricho nochokore machiegni mondo giwinje.
But all the tax-collectors and the sinners were, unto him, drawing near, to be hearkening unto him;
2 To jo-Farisai gi Jopuonj Chik ne ngʼur kawacho niya, “Ngʼatni rwako joricho kendo ochiemo kodgi.”
and both the Pharisees and the Scribes were murmuring, saying, This man, unto sinners, giveth welcome, and eateth with them.
3 Eka Yesu nogoyo nigi ngero ni:
And he spake unto them this parable, saying—
4 “Ka ngʼato kuomu dibedi ni en gi rombe mia achiel, to achiel kuomgi olal, donge ngʼatno diwe piero ochiko gochikogo e pap kama ler kendo odhi omany rombo molal nyaka oyude?
What man from among you, having a hundred sheep, and losing, from among them, one, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go his way after the lost one, until he find it?
5 To ka oyude, okete e goke komor
And, finding it, he layeth it upon his shoulders, rejoicing;
6 kendo odhiyo dala. Eka oluongo osiepene gi jogwengʼ-gi kaachiel, kowacho ni, ‘Moruru koda, aseyudo nyarombona ma yande olal.’
and, coming unto his house, calleth together the friends and the neighbours, saying unto them—Rejoice with me! because I have found my sheep that was lost!
7 Awachonu ni kamano e kaka mor nobedi e polo kuom jaricho achiel molokore, moloyo mor kuom ji piero ochiko gochiko mabeyo ma ok dwar weyo richo.
I say unto you—Thus, joy in heaven, will there be, over one sinner repenting, rather than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who indeed have, no need, of repentance.
8 “Kata ka dibed ni nitie dhako man-gi silinge mamingli apar, to achiel olalne. Donge domok taya, kendo yweyo ot, ka omanye maber mondo omi oyude?
Or, what woman, having, ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully, until she find it?
9 To ka oyude, oluongo osiepene gi jogwengʼ-gi kaachiel, kowacho ni, ‘Moruru koda, aseyudo pesana manolal.’
And, having found it, she calleth together her female friends and neighbours, saying—Rejoice with me! because I have found the piece of silver which I had lost.
10 Mana kamano, awachonu e kaka mor e nyim malaika mag Nyasaye nobedie kuom jaricho achiel moweyo richo.”
Thus, I say unto you, there ariseth joy in presence of the messengers of God, over one sinner repenting.
11 Yesu nomedo wacho niya, “Ne nitie ngʼato moro mane nigi yawuowi ariyo.
And he said—A certain man, had two sons.
12 Wuowi ma chogo nowacho ni wuon mare ni, ‘Wuora, pogna mwanduna makora.’ Omiyo mano nopogo yawuote ariyogo mwandune.
And the younger of them said unto the father—Father! give me the share that falleth to me, of what there is. And, he, divided unto them the living.
13 “Bangʼ ndalo manok, wuowi machogono nokawo gige duto moloko pesa, eka nowuok modhi e piny mabor to kuro notiyo gi mwandune e yor dak e ngima mar anjawo.
And, after not many days, the younger son, gathering all together, left home for a country far away, and, there, squandered his substance with riotous living.
14 Kane osetieko pesane duto, kech mager nowuok e pinyno duto, mi nodoko jachan machandore.
And, when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine throughout that country, —and, he, began to be in want.
15 Kuom mano nodhi mondo otine japiny moro, mi ngʼatno nokete jakwa anguro.
And he went his way, and joined himself unto one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to be feeding swine.
16 Nogombo mondo ocham opokla ma anguro chamo, to bende onge ngʼato mane omiye gimoro.
And he used to long to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and, no man, was giving unto him.
17 “Kane parone odwogone, nowacho ni, ‘Jotij wuonwa adi man-gi chiemo moromogi, madongʼ, to an to kech chama monego atho!
But coming, to himself, he said—How many hired servants of my father, have bread enough and to spare, whereas, I, with famine, here, am perishing!
18 Abiro wuok kendo adog ir wuora mi anawachne ni: Wuora, asetimo richo e nyim polo kendo e nyimi.
I will arise, and go unto my father, and will say unto him—Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee:
19 Ok awinjora koro oluonga ni wuodi; keta abed kaka achiel kuom jotichni.’
No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, —Make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came unto his own father.
20 Omiyo noa malo kendo nodhi ir wuon mare. “To kane pod en kuma bor, wuon mare nonene, kendo kopongʼ gi kech kuome, noringo kodhiyo ir wuode, nokwake gi bade kendo nonyodhe.
Now, while yet he was holding afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and, running, fell upon his neck, and tenderly kissed him.
21 “Wuowino nowachone ni, ‘Wuora, asetimo richo e nyim polo kendo e nyimi. Ok awinjora koro mondo oluonga ni wuodi.’
And the son said unto him—Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee: No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, —[make me as one of thy hired servants.]
22 “To wuon mare nowacho ne jotichne ni, ‘Timuru piyo kendo keluru law maberie moloyo mondo urwakne. Ketneuru tere e lith lwete kendo wuoche mondo urwakne e tiende.
But the father said unto his servants—Quick! bring forth a robe—the best! and put on him, and get out a ring for his hand, and sandals for his feet.
23 Keluru nyarwath machwe uyangʼ. Wachamuru wabed mamor.
And be bringing the fatted calf, sacrifice! and let us eat and make merry:
24 Nikech wuodani yande otho, to koro onwangʼe.’ Kamano negichako timo nyasi ka gimor.
Because, this my son, was, dead, and hath come to life again, was lost, and is found. And they began to be making merry.
25 “E kindeno, noyudo ka wuowi maduongʼ ni e puodho. Kane obiro machiegni gi ot nowinjo wer gi miel.
But his elder son was in a field; and, as, in coming, he drew near unto the house, he heard music and dancing, —
26 Omiyo noluongo achiel kuom jotich kendo nopenje ni en angʼo matimore.
and, calling near one of the youths, he inquired what these things, could be.
27 Nodwoke ni, ‘Owadu osedwogo, to wuonu osenego nyarwath machwe nikech osedwogo kongima kendo maber.’
And, he, said unto him, —Thy brother, hath come, and thy father hath sacrificed the fatted calf, because, safe and sound, hath he received him back.
28 “To wuowi maduongʼ mirima nomako, kendo notamore donjo e ot. Omiyo wuon mare nowuok oko odhiyo ire kendo nosaye mondo odonji.
But he was provoked to anger, and would not go in. And, his father, coming out, began to entreat him.
29 To nodwoko wuon mare ni, ‘Neye, hignigi duto asebedo katiyoni ka misumba kendo aserito chikeni. To eka pok imiyoa kata mana nyadiel mondo ayangʼ, abedgo mamor kod osiepena.
But, he, answering said unto his father—Lo! so many years as these, do I serve thee, and, at no time, a commandment of thine, have I transgressed, —And, unto me, at no time, hast thou given a kid, that, with my friends, I might make merry;
30 To ka wuodini, moseketho gigegi gi mon ma jochode ka obiro dala, to iyangʼone nyarwath machwe!’
But, when, this thy son, who had devoured thy living with harlots, came, thou didst sacrifice, for him, the fatted calf;
31 “Wuon mare nowacho niya, ‘Wuoda, in koda ndalo duto, kendo gik moko duto ma an-go gin magi.
But, he, said unto him—Child! thou, always, art, with me, and, all that is mine, is, thine;
32 To nyaka ne wabed mamor kendo bed moil, nikech owaduni yande otho to koro ongima, kendo yande olal to koro oyude!’”
But, to make merry and rejoice, there was need, because, this thy brother—was, dead, and hath come to life again, and was lost, and is found.
