Luke 15
1 Now all the tax-farmers and sinners came near to give ear to him.
Hene niropak’ am’ Iesoà amy zao o mpamory vili-lohao rekets’ o bey hakeoo hijanjiñe aze.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes were angry, saying, This man gives approval to sinners, and takes food with them.
Le hoe ty fitreontreo’ o Fariseoo naho o mpanoki-dilio: Mandrambe mpanan-tahiñe t’indaty tia vaho mitrao-pilintseñe ama’e.
3 And he made a story for them, saying,
Aa le nirazaña’e ty hoe:
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?
Ia ama’ areo aman’ añondry zato, ie rereke ty raike, ty tsy hienga i sivampolo sive’ amby rey an-tameañe ey heike, hihitrihitry hitsoeke i motsoy ampara’ te tendreke?
5 And when he has got it again, he takes it in his arms with joy.
Ie isa’e, le anoe’e ega vaho ifalea’e,
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.
le ie pok’ añ’ anjomba’e ao, atonto’e o rañe’eo naho o marineo vaho anoe’e ty hoe: Antao hitrao-kaehak’ amako, fa nitreako i añondriko nimotsoy.
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.
Itaroñako te hirebeke ty andindiñe ao ami’ty bei-hakeo misoloho te ami’ty maren-tane sivampolo sive’ amby tsy aman-kisolohoa’e.
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?
Ia ka ty rakemba aman-tsanganolo folo, ie motso ty raike ro tsy handrehetse jiro, hipio anjomba hikodebe ampara’ te isa’e?
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.
Ie zoe’e ro mamory o rañe’eo naho o mpifankarine ama’eo hanao ty hoe: Antao hitrao pinembanembañ’ amako; fa nitreako i tsanganolo nimotsoy.
10 Even so, I say to you, There is joy among the angels of God, when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing.
Itaroñako te firebehañe ty añatrefa’ o anjelin’ Añahareo ami’ty fibaboha’ ty mpanan-tahiñe raike.
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Tinovo’e ty hoe: Teo t’indaty aman’anadahy roe.
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.
Le hoe ty zai’e aman-drae’e: O aba, atoloro ahy ty anjara lovako. Le zinara’e am’ iereo ty fiveloma’e.
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.
Ie modo ty andro tsy ampeampe le hene natonton-jai’e naho nifokofoko mb’an-tsietoitane añe vaho nirite’e ami’ty hatsivokarañe o fanaña’eo.
14 And when everything was gone, there was no food to be had in that country, and he was in need.
Ie nikapioke, nitondroke ty san-kerè mena amy taney vaho nirota.
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.
Aa le niavotse re, noly amy t’indaty tompo-tane nañirak’ aze hiara-dambo an-tete’e añe.
16 And so great was his need that he would have been glad to take the pigs' food, and no one gave him anything.
Le naìna’e te ho nañatseke ty tro’e amo hara’e fihanen-damboo, fe tsy eo ty namahañe aze.
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!
Ie nitombalin-dre, le hoe ty fisafiri’e: Firefire amo mpikarama aman-draeko añeo ro tsy enen-kaneñe, izaho mifeake ty kerè atoy!
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:
Hiavotse iraho himpoly mb’ aman-draeko añe, le hanoeko ty hoe: Ry aba, aman-kakeo andindìñey naho ama’o raho
19 I am no longer good enough to be named your son: make me like one of your servants.
le tsy mañev’ ahy te hatao ana’o, ehe apoho ho mpiamo tsimañaja’oo.
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.
Aa le niongake re nimpoly mb’ aman-drae’e añe. Ie mbe eñe te nitalaken-drae’e naho niferenaiña’e; vaho nihitrihitry mb’ ama’e mb’eo nametreke ty fititia’e naho norofa’e.
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.
Fa hoe ty nanoa’ i ana’ey: O aba, aman-tahiñe andindìñey naho ama’o iraho, tsy mañeva ahy ty hatao ty hoe ana’o ka.
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:
Fe hoe ty rae’e amo mpitoro’eo: Hitrifo masika kirahe i sarimbo soay le isaroño; añombeo bange o taña’eo naho hana o tombo’eo
23 And get the fat young ox and put it to death, and let us have a feast, and be glad.
le endeso atoy i ana-bosy vinondrakey, lentao; naho antao hikama vaho hifale.
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.
Amy te nihomake ty anako toy naho nivañom-beloñe, nimotso vaho nitrea. Aa le nifale iereo.
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.
Tan-tetek’ añe i zoke’ey; aa ie nañarine i anjombay, le nahatsanom-peon-kafaleañe naho tsinjake.
26 And he sent for one of the servants, questioning him about what it might be.
Le tsinikao’e ty mpitoroñe, naho nañontane ty foto’ o raha zao.
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.
Le hoe ty nanoa’ i mpitoroñey: Nivotrak’ atoy i rahalahi’oy; aa kanao nijaranjaiñe i anadahi’ey, le vinonon-drae’o i ana-bosy vinondrakey.
28 But he was angry and would not go in; and his father came out and made a request to him to come in.
Nioroñoroñe amy zao re nifoneñe tsy hizilik’ ao; aa le niakatse ty rae’e hañohò aze.
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:
Fe hoe re aman-drae’e: Hete, fa haehae ty nitoroñako azo, le tsy nililareko ndra mbia’ mbia o lili’oo; fe mbe lia’e tsy nitolara’o ndra ty vi’e hifalefaleako amo rañekoo.
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.
Ie niloneake eo i ana-dahi’o nampianto ty harea’o amo tsimirirañeoy, le linenta’o i temboay vinondrakey.
31 And he said to him, Son, you are with me at all times, and all I have is yours.
Aa hoe ty saontsin-drae’e tama’e: O anake, toe amako etoañe nainai’e irehe; fonga azo o hanañakoo.
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.
Fe evàe’e t’ie mifale naho mirebeke; amy te nihomake i rahalahi’oy f’ie nibodañe, nirereke fe nitendreke.
