Luka 15
1 Koro josol osuru gi joricho nochokore machiegni mondo giwinje.
Now the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners were everywhere in the habit of coming close to Him to listen to Him;
2 To jo-Farisai gi Jopuonj Chik ne ngʼur kawacho niya, “Ngʼatni rwako joricho kendo ochiemo kodgi.”
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 Eka Yesu nogoyo nigi ngero ni:
So in figurative language He asked them,
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?
"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 To ka oyude, okete e goke komor
And when he has found it, he lifts it on his shoulder, glad at heart.
6 kendo odhiyo dala. Eka oluongo osiepene gi jogwengʼ-gi kaachiel, kowacho ni, ‘Moruru koda, aseyudo nyarombona ma yande olal.’
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 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 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 “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 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 To ka oyude, oluongo osiepene gi jogwengʼ-gi kaachiel, kowacho ni, ‘Moruru koda, aseyudo pesana manolal.’
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 Mana kamano, awachonu e kaka mor e nyim malaika mag Nyasaye nobedie kuom jaricho achiel moweyo richo.”
"I tell you that in the same way there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one repentant sinner."
11 Yesu nomedo wacho niya, “Ne nitie ngʼato moro mane nigi yawuowi ariyo.
He went on to say, "There was a man who had two sons.
12 Wuowi ma chogo nowacho ni wuon mare ni, ‘Wuora, pogna mwanduna makora.’ Omiyo mano nopogo yawuote ariyogo mwandune.
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 “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.
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 Kane osetieko pesane duto, kech mager nowuok e pinyno duto, mi nodoko jachan machandore.
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 Kuom mano nodhi mondo otine japiny moro, mi ngʼatno nokete jakwa anguro.
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 Nogombo mondo ocham opokla ma anguro chamo, to bende onge ngʼato mane omiye gimoro.
and he longed to make a hearty meal of the pods the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
17 “Kane parone odwogone, nowacho ni, ‘Jotij wuonwa adi man-gi chiemo moromogi, madongʼ, to an to kech chama monego atho!
"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 Abiro wuok kendo adog ir wuora mi anawachne ni: Wuora, asetimo richo e nyim polo kendo e nyimi.
I will rise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you:
19 Ok awinjora koro oluonga ni wuodi; keta abed kaka achiel kuom jotichni.’
I no longer deserve to be called a son of yours: treat me as one of your hired men.'
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.
"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 “Wuowino nowachone ni, ‘Wuora, asetimo richo e nyim polo kendo e nyimi. Ok awinjora koro mondo oluonga ni wuodi.’
"'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 “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 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 Keluru nyarwath machwe uyangʼ. Wachamuru wabed mamor.
Fetch the fat calf and kill it, and let us feast and enjoy ourselves;
24 Nikech wuodani yande otho, to koro onwangʼe.’ Kamano negichako timo nyasi ka gimor.
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 “E kindeno, noyudo ka wuowi maduongʼ ni e puodho. Kane obiro machiegni gi ot nowinjo wer gi miel.
"Now his elder son was out on the farm; and when he returned and came near home, he heard music and dancing.
26 Omiyo noluongo achiel kuom jotich kendo nopenje ni en angʼo matimore.
Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant.
27 Nodwoke ni, ‘Owadu osedwogo, to wuonu osenego nyarwath machwe nikech osedwogo kongima kendo maber.’
"'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 “To wuowi maduongʼ mirima nomako, kendo notamore donjo e ot. Omiyo wuon mare nowuok oko odhiyo ire kendo nosaye mondo odonji.
"Then he was angry and would not go in. But his father came out and entreated 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.
"'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 To ka wuodini, moseketho gigegi gi mon ma jochode ka obiro dala, to iyangʼone nyarwath machwe!’
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 “Wuon mare nowacho niya, ‘Wuoda, in koda ndalo duto, kendo gik moko duto ma an-go gin magi.
"'You my dear son,' said the father, 'are always with me, and all that is mine is also yours.
32 To nyaka ne wabed mamor kendo bed moil, nikech owaduni yande otho to koro ongima, kendo yande olal to koro oyude!’”
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.'"
