Luke 15
1 Now all the tax-farmers and sinners came near to give ear to him.
Bi lubigaaba leni i tagibiadi danba den kpendi Jesu kani ki bua ki gbadi o maama.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes were angry, saying, This man gives approval to sinners, and takes food with them.
Falisieninba leni li balimaama bangikaaba den yenbidi ki tua: “O joa na gaani i tagibiadi danba cangu ki go di leni ba.”
3 And he made a story for them, saying,
Lani Jesu den pua ba mi naa kpanjama:
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?
“Yi siiga yua pia pe kobiga ke yendo bia, naani waa baa ŋa ya piiyiadi n peyiadi n sieni bi kpaakaanu li fuali nni ki ŋoadi yua n yaadi yeni hali ki ban le o?
5 And when he has got it again, he takes it in his arms with joy.
O ya laa o o baa taa ki bugi o leni li pamanli.
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.
O ya ban pundi o denpo, o baa yini o danlinba leni o yieninlieba ki yedi ba: 'Taani mani leni nni tin mangi ti pala, kelima n laa n pia, yua n den bia yeni.'
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.
N yedi yi, li pamanli baa ye tanpoli po kelima ti tuonbiadi daano yendo yua n biidi o pali o tuonbiadi po ki lebidi o yama, ki cie niteginkaaba piiyia n niba yia yaaba n kaa nua ke mi lebidima yeni tie tiladi yaapo.
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?
Bi o pua ya pia kujapiena piiga ke yenli bia, naani waa baa cuoni ki fidisanga, ki pidi li dieli ki ya lingi li dindini hali ki ban le o cili?
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.
O ya laa li, o baa yini o danlinba leni o yieninlieba ki yedi ba: 'Taani mani leni nni tin mangi ti pala kelima n laa n kujapienli yaali n bia yeni.'
10 Even so, I say to you, There is joy among the angels of God, when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing.
N yedi yi, li baa tie yene tanpoli po. U Tienu malekinba baa mangi bi pala kelima ti tuonbiadi daano yendo yua n biidi o pali o tuonbiadi po ki lebidi o yama.”
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
O go den yedi: “O joa den ye ki pia bonjala lie.
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.
O bonwaalo den yedi o baa: 'N baa, boagidi ŋan bili npo ya faali a piama nni ki teni nni.' O joa yeni den boagidi ba o piama.
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.
Lan tieni dana waamu o bonwaalo den taa o ya biinu kuli ki gedi ya diema n foagi. O den biani o ya faali kuli kelima o bibiadima po.
14 And when everything was gone, there was no food to be had in that country, and he was in need.
Wan den biani likuli, mi konbiadima den baa mi diema yeni, ke o cili ki luo yaala n tie tiladi o yema po kuli.
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.
Lani o den gedi ki mia li tuonli dotieyendo kani ke o gedini o kuanu po ke wan ban ya kpa i duoli.
16 And so great was his need that he would have been glad to take the pigs' food, and no one gave him anything.
Mi koma po o den bua ki ya di i duoli n di ya jiema, ama oba kuli ki puni o.
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!
Lani o den kpaagi ki laa o yama nni ki yedi o pali nni: 'N baa tuonsoanba pia li bonjekaala ke li kandi ke mini ti ye ne ki kpe mi koma.
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:
N baa fii ki guani n baa po, ki ban yedi o: N baa, n tudi U Tienu po leni a yaapo kuli.
19 I am no longer good enough to be named your son: make me like one of your servants.
Mii go pundi ban yini nni a bijua. Ya tuuni nni nani ŋan baa soani a tuonsoalo maama.”
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.
Lani o den fii ki guani o baa po. Wan daa den ye hali foagima, o baa den laa o ke mi niŋima cuo o, ke o sani ki ban bibi o ki gobini o leni mi buama.
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.
O bijua den yedi o: 'N baa, n tudi U Tienu po leni a yaapo kuli. Mii go pundi ban yini nni a bijua.
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:
Ama o baa den yedi o naacenba: 'Jaligi mani ki cuani ya liadi cianli n ŋani ki cie ki lani o, ki pilini omi ñoagibima ki pilini o ti cacaadi moko.
23 And get the fat young ox and put it to death, and let us have a feast, and be glad.
Taa mani li naatonbiwubidili ki kodi li, tin je ki mangi bi pala.
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.
Kelima n bijua na den kpe ki goa ki faadi, o den yaadi ke n goa ki laa o.' Bi den cili ki mangidi bi pala.
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.
Li den sua ke o bijakpelo ye u kuanu po. Wan den kpendi ki nagini ku diegu, o den gbadi ti baantiadi ke bi pua ki ciaga.
26 And he sent for one of the servants, questioning him about what it might be.
O den yini naacenyendo ki buali o lan tie yaala.
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.
O naacemo den yedi o: 'A waalo n goa ki kpeni, a baa n laa o leni laafia yene ke o kodi tin wubi ya naatonbiwubidili.'
28 But he was angry and would not go in; and his father came out and made a request to him to come in.
Lani o bijakpelo yeni pali den beni, ke o yie ke o kan kua. O baa den ñani ki miamia ke wan kua.
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:
O den goa ki yedi ba: 'Diidi ki le, n tuuni apo ŋali ya bina n yaba, mii yie a ñoabonli liba kuli, ama ŋaa puni nni baa ŋoabiga ke mini leni n danlinba n taani ki je ki mangi ti pala.
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.
Ama a bijua yua n ban dini a ŋalimano leni a poconcona yeni n goa ki kpeni, wani yaapo yo ke a kodi tin wubi ya naatonbiwubidili.'
31 And he said to him, Son, you are with me at all times, and all I have is yours.
O baa den goa ki yedi o: 'N bijua, a ye leni nni yogunu kuli, min pia yaala kuli tie a yaala.
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.
Li pundi tin je ki go mangi ti pala kelima a waalo na den kpe ki go faadi, o den yaadi ke ti goa ki laa o.'”
