Luke 15
1 Now all the tax-farmers and sinners came near to give ear to him.
Mangmu ak cawikungkhqi ingkaw thlakthawlhkhqi ing ak awi ak ngaina a venawh law uhy.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes were angry, saying, This man gives approval to sinners, and takes food with them.
Cehlai Farasikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi taw sai bi uhy, Ve ak thlang ing thlak thawlhkhqi ym nawh buh ai pyi khqi haih hy, ti uhy.
3 And he made a story for them, saying,
Cawh Jesu ing vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve kqawn pek khqi hy:
4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if one of them gets loose and goes away, will not let the ninety-nine be in the waste land by themselves, and go after the wandering one, till he sees where it is?
nangmih ak khuiawh thlang pynoet ing tuu zakhat a taak ak khuiawh pynoet ce qeng lah seh, sawmkow pakow ce a cehtaak coengawh ak qeng pynoet ce a huh hlan dy taw am sui kawm nu?
5 And when he has got it again, he takes it in his arms with joy.
A huh tlaih awhtaw, ak phleng awh kawt nawh,
6 And when he gets back to his house, he sends for his neighbours and friends, saying to them, Be glad with me, for I have got back my sheep which had gone away.
im na ceh pyi hy. A imcengkhqi ingkaw a pyikhqi ce ak khy coengawh, Ni zeel pyi lawt lah uh; tuu ak qeng ce hu tlaih hawh nyng,’ tinak khqi hy.
7 I say to you that even so there will be more joy in heaven when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing, than for ninety-nine good men, who have no need of a change of heart.
Ka nik kqawn peek khqi, cemyih lawtna zut aham amak ngoe thlakdyng sawmkow pakow anglakawh thlakthawlh pynoet ang zutnaak awh ce khawk khan awh zeelnaak doem khqoet kaw.
8 Or what woman, having ten bits of silver, if one bit has gone from her hands, will not get a light, and go through her house, searching with care till she sees it?
Nu pynoet ing tangka phoeksa pahqa ta hlai hy pynoet ce qeng sak valh hy. Mai vang nawh, im ce ak leek na a nawt coengawh a huh hlan dy taw phoeksa ak qeeng ce am sui kawm nu?
9 And when she has it again, she gets her friends and neighbours together, saying, Be glad with me, for I have got back the bit of silver which had gone from me.
A huh tlaih awhtaw, a pyikhqi ingkaw a imceng locengkhqi ce khy nawh, Ni zeel pyi khqi hy.
10 Even so, I say to you, There is joy among the angels of God, when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing.
Cemyih lawtna, ka nik kqawn peek khqi, thlakthawlh pynoet ang zutnaak awh Khawsa ak khan ceityihkhqi haiawh zeelnaak ce awm kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Jesu ing nyhtahnaak awi kqawn pe tlaih bai hy: Thlang pynoet ing cakpa pakkhih tahy.
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me that part of your property which will be mine. And he made division of his goods between them.
A capa ang no ing a pa venawh, ka pa ka huh hly kawi qo ce ni pe hlah,’ tina hy. Cedawngawh a pa ing qo ce bo pehy.
13 And not long after, the younger son got together everything which was his and took a journey into a far-away country, and there all his money went in foolish living.
Cekcoengawh taw, a capa ang no ing amah a ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce lo nawh khawk hla soeih na cet hy, ce a qam awh a khawhthemkhqi ce plak boeh boeh hy.
14 And when everything was gone, there was no food to be had in that country, and he was in need.
A khawhthemkhqi ce ak plak boeih coengawh, cawhkaw a awmnaak qam awh ce khawseet khawkhanaak pha law hy, cawh anih ce voet a hlauh law hy.
15 And he went and put himself into the hands of one of the people of that country, and he sent him into his fields to give the pigs their food.
Cedawngawh ce a qam awhkaw thlang pynoet a bi ce bi pehy, cawhkaw thlang ing anih ce lo awh vawk ak cah aham na tyi hy.
16 And so great was his need that he would have been glad to take the pigs' food, and no one gave him anything.
Ak phoen cawi aih nawh vawk ing a ai lyian kawikhqi ce ai aham nai hy, cehlai u ingawm ai aham ikaw awm am pehy.
17 But when he came to his senses, he said, What numbers of my father's servants have bread enough, and more, while I am near to death here through need of food!
Cawh poek qu nawh, ‘Ka pa ak thlangvatkhqi ing zani awk lek ai naa na awk ai ta hlai uhy, kai taw vawh lum tawm hawh nyng!
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes:
Tho nawh ka pa venna hlat tlaih mai vang nyng, a venawh: Ka pa, khan ingkaw nang a haiawh thawlh hawh nyng.
19 I am no longer good enough to be named your son: make me like one of your servants.
Na ca na awm khy aham am kawih voel nyng; nak thlangvat pynoet na awm ni ta lawt mai, tina vang nyng,’ tihy.
20 And he got up and went to his father. But while he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with pity for him and went quickly and took him in his arms and gave him a kiss.
Cedawngawh tho nawh a pa venna cet hy. Ak hla na a law awh, a pa ing hu hqoet nawh qeen hy; a capa venna dawng nawh kawp hqoet nawh mawk hy.
21 And his son said to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes: I am no longer good enough to be named your son.
A capa ing a pa venawh, ‘Ka pa, khan ingkaw nang a haiawh thawlh hawh nyng. Na ca na khy aham am kawih voel nyng,’ tina hy.
22 But the father said to his servants, Get out the first robe quickly, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet:
Cehlai a pa ing a tyihzawihkhqi venawh, ‘Ang tawnna! Angki ak leek soeih ce haw law unawh taw bai sak uh. A kut awh kutcabyn byn sak unawh, a khaw awh khawmyk myk law sak uh.
23 And get the fat young ox and put it to death, and let us have a feast, and be glad.
Vaitaw ak tha soeih ce haw law unawh taw him uh. Awmhly zeelnaak ing buh veelnaak sai lah u sih.
24 For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.
Vawhkaw ka capa ve thi hawh hlai hy hqing tlaih hawh hy, qeng hawh hlai hy hu tlaih hawh nyng,’ tinak khqi hy. Cedawngawh buh veelnaak ce sai uhy.
25 Now the older son was in the field: and when he came near the house, the sounds of music and dancing came to his ears.
Cedawngawh a capa a hqam taw lo na awm hy. Im a pha law tawm awh ce, laa sak awi ingkaw lamnaak awi ce zahy.
26 And he sent for one of the servants, questioning him about what it might be.
Cedawngawh tyihzawih pynoet ce khy nawh doet hy.
27 And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has had the young ox put to death because he has come back safely.
Anih ing, ‘Na naa ce hlat law tlaih nawh, sadip cana im a pha law tlaih dawngawh, na pa ing vaitaw ak tha soeih ce him pehy,’ tina hy.
28 But he was angry and would not go in; and his father came out and made a request to him to come in.
Cedawngawh a hqamca ce ak kaw so nawh ipkhui na a kun ham awm am ngaih voel hy. Cedawngawh a pa ce cet nawh a capa a hqam ce hloep hy.
29 But he made answer and said to his father, See, all these years I have been your servant, doing your orders in everything: and you never gave me even a young goat so that I might have a feast with my friends:
Cehlai anih ing a pa venawh, ‘Toek lah! Kum veqyt nang a tamnaa na awm nyng saw nak awi awm am eek khawi nyng. Cehlai ka pyikhqi mi zeelnaak aham me ca pynoet kangna awm am ni pe hyk ti.
30 But when this your son came, who has been wasting your property with bad women, you put to death the fat young ox for him.
Vawhkaw na capa, a pum ak zawikhqi mi ik-oeih ak poeih ak lak thlang ce a law awh, vaitaw ak tha soeih him pe hyk ti!’ tina hy.
31 And he said to him, Son, you are with me at all times, and all I have is yours.
A pa ing a venawh, ‘Ka capa, nang taw ka venawh awm poepa hyk ti, kai ing ka taak boeih boeih ve nang a koe nani a awm hy.
32 But it was right to be glad and to have a feast; for this your brother, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away and has come back.
Buh veelnaak ni sai nawh ni zeel aham awm hy, vawhkaw na naa ve thi hawh hlai hy, hqing law tlaih hawh hy; anih taw qeng hawh hlai hy ni hu tlaih hawh hy,’ tina hy,” tinak khqi hy.
