Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
Saasiit sokse seete nyia danhaatcho mina loong Jisu jeng boichaat thokrum taha,
2 So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
Pharisi nyia Hootthe Nyootte loong ah suusu ih waan rumta, “Arah mih rah ih danhaatcho mina loong ah poon ano neng damdi nep uh roong phaksah ruh eha!”
3 Then Jesus told them this parable:
Erah thoidi Jisu ih arah tiitthaak tiit ah baatta:
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?
“Jengthaak ih sen wasiit thandoh chaasiit taan saapsah toom angthaak ah, eno erah dung dowa esiit ah emat eah bah—an ih tumjih theng ah? An ih rook akhuh akhuh rah naamphak ban riim thuk uno esiit moong khoomta saapsah rah maang japtuptup ih jam sokkah uh.
5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
Eno chojam uno, rapne ih roonsoon damdoh saapsah rah an sookkaang nah toonpi wan uh
6 comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
eno an nok nah ngaak piiwan uh. Erah lidoh an joonte nyi ankhuung antok loong ah lompoon uno baat uh, ‘Ngah rapne ih roonlang nga saapsah mata ah japjam angno ah. Erah thoidi seng ih saroom hoon ih, raahan!’
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.
Erah likhiik, ngah ih baat rumhala, mina wasiit heh rangdah nawa ngaaklek abah rangmong hasong nah rapne tenroon ang ah, rook akhuh akhuh elong elang mina loong neng rangdah nawa ngaaklek suh lanookka loong ah nang ih ah.
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?
“Adoleh jengthaak ih minuh esiit ih ngunkholok lo asih dowa loosiit ah maat haat abah heh ih tumjih et ah? Heh ih weetook ah kaangtook ano, nok ah joom ano naririh maang japtuptup ih jam sok ah.
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.’
Heh ih japtup ano, heh joonte nyia heh khuung atok loong ah lompoon ah, eno neng suh baat ah, ‘Ngah rapne ih roonlang nga jaan ngun mata rah japjam angno ah. Seng loong saroom room ih!’
10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
Erah likhiik, ngah ih baat rumhala, Rangte Rangsah loong uh emamah ih roon ah wasiit taan rangdah nawa ngaaklek abah ah.”
11 Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
Jisu erah damdi wakbaatta, “Ehak di mih wasiit di heh sah wanyi angta.
12 The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
Noolih warah ih heh wah asuh baatta, ‘Ewah, nga dakbi nyamka ah ngah suh amadoh laan phe kohang.’ Eno heh warah ih heh sah nyi asuh pheekoh nyuuta.
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.
Sa nyi jom lini noolih warah ih heh dabbi nyamka ah sang ano nok nawa erah ngun ah hui ano moongkhoom kata. Heh mideek ni moongkhoom kata, eno heh ngun loong ah thaangmuh di lasootsaam thang ih thaaja kaatta.
14 After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
Heh jiinni mathan ngun jeeta angta thoontang jen thaaja lini, erah hah adi ramkhah dongta, eno heh jiinni tumjih uh tadakta.
15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
Erah thoidi heh erah deek adi mih nok ni lakniik jam kata eno wasiit ih heh phek ni wak ban sok thukta.
16 He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
Heh ih thunta wakjook theng wakcham ah tam laan sah ang eah, tumeah heh suh o ih uh phaksat kotte tajeeta.
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!
Hethoondi heh thung ni dongthunta eno liita, ‘Seng wah nok ni mote loong ih neng wok maang phootphoot kah ih phaksah rum ah, chiinyah ngah bah aadi ram ih the halang!
18 I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
Ngah seng wah jiinnah ngaakwang angno baatwan ang, “Ewah, ngah ih Rangte damdi nyia an ngathong ni rapne ih rangdah molang.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
Aadowa ih ngah an sah ih poon suh tapunkang; an ih ngah ah mootkaatte wasiit ih samthun hang.’
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.
Eno heh ah dokchap ano heh wah jiinni ngaakwangta. “Heh wah ih japtupta tok adi heh ah nok nawa haloot ni dook angta; ang abah uh heh wah heh thungthet lam ih soonkah ano, heh sah rah khonjoh ano chupphakta.
21 The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
‘Ewah,’ heh sah rah ih liita, ‘Nga Rangte nyia an ngathong ni rapne ih rangdah molang. Ngah aadowa ih an sah et jen li suh takah pun kang.’
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.
Ang abah uh heh wah ih heh laksuh loong ah poon rum ano baatta, ‘Echaan!’ Heh ih liita, ‘Samsong jaase thoon ang arah jam koh jahan eno song thuk an. Heh lak nah laktiip ah tiipkoh eh an heh lah nah lakhoop ah khoop thuk ih an.
23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
Erah lilih maan etotot ah jowang anno joot an, eno seng loong ah saroom room ih!
24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
Tumeah arah nga sah ah etek eta, eno amadi heh engaakthing ela; heh mat eta, eno amadi jap jamhi. Eno saroom phaksat ah phang choongchaam rumta.
25 Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
“Erah tokdi heh sah phokhoh wah ah phek ni angta. Heh ngaakwang ha di, heh nok ko ih tiitthok damdam ih, heh ih boongkaat seehoon ang arah japchaatta.
26 So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
Eno heh ih laksuh wasiit ah poon ano chengta, ‘Tumjih angla?’
27 ‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’
An no ngaak wang taha,’ laksuh rah ih ngaakbaatta,’ eno an wah ih etotthoon maan ah joot thuk tahe, tumeah heh ah naririh punpiipi ih ngaak wang taha eah.’
28 The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
“Phokhoh wah ah rapne ih khata nok ni uh lawang thang ah; eno heh wah ah kah ano ‘nok nah wang ho’ ih heh lasih joh lam ih poon kata.
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.
Eno heh wah asuh liita, ‘Sokthaak hang, paangtang ih ngah ih an suh dah likhiik ih reeraang pakna lang, an jeng uh lanaan daan thang ah. Eno an ih ngah suh tumjih kohalang? Nga joonte damdoh roong joon phaksat suh ki esiit taan uh tatek haat thuk rang!
30 But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
Eno arah an sah rah ih an dowa nyamka ah pheesuh hoono hansangte minuh damdi ngun loong ah thaaja kaat ano, ngaakwang hala asuh an ih maan elongthoon ah kadook kohu nih!’
31 ‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
‘Nga sah,’ heh wah ih ngaakbaatta, ‘An ah aani saarookwih nga damdi, eno jirep nga dowa loong ah an raangtaan.
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.’”
Erah nang ih bah seng loong ih tenroon lam ih thong room phaksah theng, tumeah an no ah tek nawa, we ngaakthingla, heh jen mat eta, rah we jap jamhi.”
