Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
Siadong te le mawnei te Jesus thu ngai tu in a kung ah hongpai tek uh hi.
2 So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
Taciang, hisia pa in mawnei te sang a, amate taw an ne khawm hi, ci Pharisee te le thukhamhil te phun uh hi.
3 Then Jesus told them this parable:
Taciang Jesus in hi sontena amate tung ah son hi.
4 “What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
Note sung ah khatpo in, tuu zakhat nei a, khat bo a hile, sawm kua le kua teng duisung ah nusia in, a bo tuu a mu dong zong tu hi ngawl ziam?
5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
A mu ciang in, lungdam in a liangko mual suan hi.
6 comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
Inn a thet ciang in, a lawm te le innpam te samkhawm tek a, hong lungdampui tavun; banghangziam cile a bo ka tuu mukik khi hi, ci hi.
7 In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent.
Keima in kong son hi, tasia bangma in, mawna kisik ngawl mihing sawm kua le kua te sang in, mawna a ki sikkik khat tung ah, vantung ah lungdamna tamzaw tu hi.
8 Or what woman who has ten silver coins and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her house, and search carefully until she finds it?
A hibale, numei khat in dangka pia sawm nei a, pia khat a bosua le, khuaimei de in, a inn phiat tu a, hanciam in a mu dong zong tu hi ngawl ziam?
9 And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’
A mu ciang in, a lawm te le a innpam te samkhawm in, hong lungdam pui tavun; banghangziam cile ka bosua dangka mukik zo khi hi, ci hi.
10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
Tasia bangma in, keima in kong ci hi, a ki sikkik mawnei khat tung ah Pathian vantungmi te sung ah lungdamna om hi, ci hi.
11 Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
Jesus in hibang in ci hi, Pasal khat in tapa ni nei a:
12 The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
A nozaw in a pakung ah, pa awng, ka lua tu ngamh hong pia tan, ci hi. Taciang a pa in a neisa theampo a tate ni hawmsak hi.
13 After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.
Ni tam ngei ngawl in a tapa nozaw in a nga teng theampo kaikhawm a, ngam khuala mama ah khualhaw hi, taciang a neisa theampo a ukbang in pakvawt in zang vapeak hi.
14 After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
A nei theampo a zaksiat zawkciang, tua ngam ah kialpi tung a; ki tangsam mama in om hi.
15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
Tua ngam mi khat kung ah pai a, tua pa in vok an pia tu in a lo ah paisak hi.
16 He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
Vok i neak be haw nangawn a khamteak in ne nuam napi: kuama in bangma pia ngawl hi.
17 Finally he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food? But here I am, starving to death!
A thin ciim ciang in, ka pa kung ah a kicial naseam te bekzong an a kham in nei uh a val lai hi, kei ka hile ngilkial in mangthang tu ka hi zo hi!
18 I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
Tho in, ka pa kung ah pai tu khi hi, taciang ama tung ah, pa awng, vantung le na mai ah khial zo khi hi,
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
Na tapa ci tu zong ki phu nawn bong: na cial tawm naseam khat bang in hong koi tan, ka ci tu hi, ci hi.
20 So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still in the distance, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.
Taciang ama hong ding a, a pa kung ah pai hi. Ahihang a khuala mama kisam lai na pan, a pa in mu hi, taciang khuangaihuai sa in tai a, a ngawng pan koai in nam hi.
21 The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
Taciang, a tapa in a pa kung ah, pa awng, vantung le na mai ah maw zo khi hi, na tapa ci tu zong ki phu nawn ngawl khi hi, ci hi.
22 But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
Ahihang a pa in a naseam te kung ah, puan a phabel hong la tavun a, silsak vun; a khut ah khutzungbu bulsak vun, taciang a peang ah peangdap bulsak vun:
23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
Taciang khuino thau khat hong la tavun a, ngo vun; taciang i ne khawm tek tu a, thinnuam in i om khawm tek tu hi:
24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
Banghangziam cile hi ka tapa sia thi hi, ahizong, nungta kik hi; bo hi kale, ki mu kik hi, ci hi. Tabang in thinnuam in om khawm tek uh hi.
25 Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
Tu in a tapa lianzaw lo ah om hi: lo pan hong cia a, inn nai a thet ciang in lasa le lapna aw nging te za hi.
26 So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
Taciang naseam khat sam a, hi thu te a bangthu ziam, ci dong hi.
27 ‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’
Tua naseam pa in, na naupa hong cia a; cidam ludam in hong thengkik ahikom, na pa in khuino a thau khat ngaw hi, ci hi.
28 The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
A tapa lianzaw sia a thin-uk ahikom, innsung zong tum nuam ngawl hi: tua ahikom a pa pusuak a, innsung ah tum tu in tho hi.
29 But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
A pa hibang in zo hi, en in, kum tam mama na na seam khi hi, na thupiak bangma hun peal ngei ngawl khi hi: ahihang ka lawm te taw thinnuam khawm tu in, kealno khat zong hong pia ngei ngawl hi hi:
30 But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
Ahihang hi na tapa, pumpi kizuak te taw na neisa theampo hong sut pa hong cia pociang in, khuino thau ngaw ni hi, ci hi.
31 ‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
Taciang a pa in ama tung ah, ka tapa awng, nang sia keima taw om tawntung ni hi, taciang ka neisa theampo sia nangma' a hihi.
32 But it was fitting to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
Ahihang na naupa sia, thi napi, nungta kik hi; bo napi, tu in mu kik khi hi, tua ahikom thinnop na le lungdamna ka vawt tu ki lawm hi, ci hi.
