Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
Alu golo lampu naakumyanv okv toakunam vdwv achialvgo Jisu gvlo tvvdubv aatoku,
2 So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
Parisis vdwvla Pvbv tamsarnv vdwv minsiminpit rapto, “So nyi si toa kunam vdwa naarwk sidu okv bunua lvkobvka dvbam tvdu!”
3 Then Jesus told them this parable:
Vkvlvgabv Jisu bunua so minchisinam sum mintam toku:
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?
“Vkv aingbv nonugv lokv akonv svlar ngv lwnggo doore okv bunugv lokv akonyi ngemure-nw ogu rireku? Nw chamkia gula kia nga nvmwnglo kayupila okv ngenv akin a kaapama dvdvlo makar reku.
5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
Vdwlo nw mapa rikudw nw achialvbv mvngpu laku hum ninyigv gorbwnglo vvpv toku.
6 comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
Okv um naam lo bakkor lwktoku. Vbvrikunamv nw ninyigv ajin vdwa okv namrwk vdwa gokkum tokula bunua mintoku, ‘Ngo achialvbv mvngpu duku ngo ngoogv svlar ngenv anga paakunamv. Klvi ngonu naayap lakuju!’
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.
Ho apiabv, ngo nonua mindunv, nyidomooku tolo hum kaiyabv mvngpure rimurnv nyi go mvngdin kubolo chamkia gula kia yvv mvngdin kusegu kaakumanv mamsenga.”
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?
“Vmalo nyimv nvgo ain lokdwng charring go doonv chargunyi ngemu toku—nw ogu ripvku? Nw mvdurrupum a baanu toku, ninyigv naam a pakak toku, okv kaapama dvdvlobv um alvyaungbv kaakar toku.
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.’
Vdwlo nw hum kaapa tokudw, nw ninyigv ajin vdwa okv namrwk ajin vdwa gokdum sitoku, okv bunua mintoku, ‘Ngo achialvbv mvngpu dukunv ngo ngoogv ngemu kunam lokdwng nga paapvku. Klvi ngonu naayap lakuju!’
10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
Ngo nonua mindu, ho apiabv rimurnv nyi gunv mvngdin kubolo vkvgv aolo Pwknvyarnv gv gindungpingko vdwv achialvbv mvngpu yadunv.”
11 Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
Jisu mimbwngla minto, “Ho hoka nyi akonv nw kuunyilo anyigo dooto.
12 The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
Boruya angv ninyia minto, ‘Abu, vjak yikungyira ngo gvnga ngam jilabv,’ Vkvlvgabv abu hv yikungyira vdwa kuunyilo anyi gv pingkolo orpin sitoku.
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.
Lonyi loum kochinglo boruya angv ninyigv yikungyira vdwa pyoktoku okv morko nga gvtokula naam a vngyu toku. Nw adu koko mookulo vngtoku, hoka nw rikunamv ninyigv morko nga mvnam mvsubv mva toku.
14 After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
Nw vdwgo gvku bvdw hum mvnwngnga mva toku. Vbvrikunamv dvmayarwng go ho mooku hoka vngtoku, okv nw hoka oguka kaaku mabv ramkar toku.
15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
Vkvlvgabv nw ho mookugv nyi gonvgv lvgabv kudungkua riji dukubv vngtoku, hv ninyia ninyigv rongo adukolo lo vrik kaaria modubv vnglin motoku.
16 He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
Nw ninyigv dvse a vrik gv dvnam dvku lokv dvsu tvnvpv mvngto, vbvritola yvvka ninyia dvnam jinv kaama toku.
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!
Anyung anya nga ninyigv haapok lo mvngchin raptoku okv mintoku, ‘Ngo Abu gv nyi riria modubv goknam mvnwng hvka bunu dvnam a dvlv kumabv dvmin duku, okv ngo soka kano gvbv sakap tvya dukunv!
18 I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
Ngo gudung reku okv Abu gvlo vngreku, okv minreku, Abu, ngo Pwknvyarnv nyila okv nam la rinyingla rimur tokubv.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
Ngo noogv kuunyilo ngv vla mindubv riya kuma; no nga noogv riria nvbv goknam nyi ako bv mvngla kubvka,’
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.
Vkvlvgabv nw gudung toku okv ninyigv Abu gvlo vla vngkur raptoku. “Nw vjakgobv naam vngchi sengv lamtv ngv adudvto hoka ninyigv Abu hv ninyia kaapa toku; nw haapok v hau toku, okv nw joktoku, okv ninyigv laak hv ninyigv kuunyilo nga jarbwng toku, okv ninyia moopupdvtak toku.
21 The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
Kuunyilo ngv mintoku, ‘Abu, ngo Pwknvyarnv nyila nam la rinyingla rimur tokubv. Ngo noogv kuunyilo ngv vla mindubv riya kuma.’
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.
Vbvritola Abu hv ninyigv pakbu vdwa goktoku. ‘Baapubv!’ nw minto. ‘Jvtvlaklwk alvyachok nvnga bvnglwkto okv ninyia pilwkto. Ninyigv lakchinglo lakchup go pilwkto okv ninyigv lvpa lo lvsup goka.
23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
Vbvrikunamv vngnyika okv svbv bakboknv akonyi paala hum mvki tvka, okv klvi ngonu naayapla dvpam go pamla kuju!
24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
Ngoogv kuunyilo angv si sirokunv ngv, vbvritola vjak nw turpvku; nw ngooro kunvngv, vbvritola vjak ninyia paapv kunv.’ Okv vkvlvgabv dvpam ha pamrap toku.”
25 Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
“Vbvrire hoka kuunyilo achi yangv agum rongolo rito. Ninyigv lamtvlo vngkur rikulo, vdwlo naam aachidvlv bv riri hoka, nw giomin okv soomin namgv sidu a tvvpa toku.
26 So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
Vkvlvgabv nw pakbu ako goklwkla okv ninyia tvvkato, ‘Ogugo ridung dunvla?’
27 ‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’
‘Noogv boruv naam aakur pvku,’ pakbuv mirwkto, ‘Okv noogv Abu svbv babok yachok nvgonyi paki pvkunv, ogulvgavbolo nw ninyia ayak alvdvkubv paakunam lvgabv.’
28 The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
Achi yangv achialvbv kvchakbriak laila nw naam arwnglo aamato; vkvlvgabv ninyigv Abu agumlo linto okv ninyia arwng aatokv vla kodwkkrwkla minto.
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.
Vbvritola nw ninyigv Abunyi mirwksito, ‘Kaatoka, anying mvnwnglo ngo nyira jvbv noogv lvgabv kudungkua nga rijito, okv ngo noogv minam a vdwloka tvvmabv rinam kaama. No nga ogugo jipv? Ngoogv ajin vdwaka lvkobv dvpam dvgv laka vla yabin akoka ka jinam kaama!
30 But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
Vbvritola noogv kuunyilo angv si noogv yikungyira mvnwngnga randi vdwlo mva nvmin kunvngv, okv vdwlo nw naam aakur kunamv no ninyigv lvgabv svbv bakbok nvgonyi paki jiminla!’
31 ‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
Abu v mirwkto, ‘Ngoogv kuunyilo nga,’ ‘no ngam alu loki a lvkobv doobwng kunvngv, okv ngo ogugo doopv kudw mvnwngngv nokvku.
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.’”
Vbvritola ngonuv naayap segorung okv mvngpu segorung, ogulvgavbolo no gv boruv siro kunvngv, vbvritola vjak nw turpvku; nw ngero toku, vbvritola vjak ninyia paapvku.’”
