Luke 15
1 Now tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to him, so that they might listen to him.
Ni bi kpa ban ni bi lah tre ba wa Yesu ye nasi wo wu.
2 And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This one accepts sinners and eats with them.”
Farisawa ni bi nha wawu mba u baluni chi ba gurgu ni kpa mba ndi, “I gu yi ani kpa bi lahtre nani ri la me niba.”
3 And he told this parable to them, saying:
Yesu tre ka yiyi ni ba wu na yi.
4 “What man among you, who has one hundred sheep, and if he will have lost one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the one whom he had lost, until he finds it?
A nha nimi mbi, nita he ni nt'ma deri, u iri kado, “wa ana ka teseyi don tiya don na hi wa iriri njiye na?
5 And when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
I dan a ka toh wu, ani ban sah kan to na ngyiri.
6 And returning home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them: ‘Congratulate me! For I have found my sheep, which had been lost.’
Inde a k'maye ko, ani yo kpukpan ma, ni mri vayi bi yiu nkon kahlan ma kabi, “Ye ki ngyiri mi ka toh nt'ma mu'a wa a kado a.
7 I say to you, that there will be so much more joy in heaven over one sinner repenting, than over the ninety-nine just, who do not need to repent.
Mi hla ni yiwu, ahe naki me ni shu me, ba ngyiri nitu indji iriri u lahtre wa a tuba'a zan indji teseyin don chiya bi wa bana lahtre na.
8 Or what woman, having ten drachmas, if she will have lost one drachma, would not light a candle, and sweep the house, and diligently search until she finds it?
Ka ana he na iwa wa ahe ni glegbe nklen a zurfa wulon, u glegbe ri ni mi ma a nawo chuku miko kado, ana mbru lu yo ni fitila ma vu kagon sran ma na wa glegbe inklen, wa a nawo kado na?
9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying: ‘Rejoice with me! For I have found the drachma, which I had lost.’
Inde a toh, “ani yo kpukpan ma ni mri vayi bi yiu kon kahlan ma wawu ye, na hla ni bawu,” ki ngyiri, mi toh glegbe iklen azurfa mu wa a kado'a ye.
10 So I say to you, there will be joy before the Angels of God over even one sinner who is repentant.”
Ko na ki me, “Igir he ni shishi maleku Irji ni tu indji riri u lahtre wa a kpa tre Irji sisah, a (tuba).
11 And he said: “A certain man had two sons.
U Yesu tre a ndi indji ri he ni mri hari,
12 And the younger of them said to the father, ‘Father, give me the portion of your estate which would go to me.’ And he divided the estate between them.
Ivren tsitsa, yo tima, “Iti mu, “ne” ikpi wa a ni u mu ni mi wa (dukiya) mewa u he ni wu'a “u timba a vu ikpi bi wo ma ga ni bawu hamba.
13 And after not many days, the younger son, gathering it all together, set out on a long journey to a distant region. And there, he dissipated his substance, living in luxury.
Wa a na gbron knkon na, u vren tsitsa a kblu kpi wa ba ga ba wa'a ye sru ba ni wrji ri, na vuba, ri hi ni migu gbugban mu, hi zren ma ni gbungblu, “naka ri uma kle.
14 And after he had consumed it all, a great famine occurred in that region, and he began to be in need.
U iyon nri ni gbu'a kagon wawu'u meme da ndi me. “I wa lu ni wa kpi u ri (iya vu).
15 And he went and attached himself to one of the citizens of that region. And he sent him to his farm, in order to feed the swine.
Wa hi na ka wa ndu niti ni guri ni mi gbu'a, “Wa, ton hi ni rju mari ni ndu ta no lede ma biri.
16 And he wanted to fill his belly with the scraps that the swine ate. But no one would give it to him.
Wa tie tilan u ri gbala biri wa lede ba ri don mbru'a.
17 And returning to his senses, he said: ‘How many hired hands in my father’s house have abundant bread, while I perish here in famine!
U, imeme ma ye niwu nikpa ma, “Wa tre, A hi gran bre Itie mu vu ba ndu na ni nhan ba, u ba rila ma lan tu ba u mi son ni tiya ni yon.
18 I shall rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.
Mi lunde, ni wa yi hi ni itie mu, “ni bre wu, “Itie mu, mi lahtre ni shulu mba ni wu.
19 I am not worthy to be called your son. Make me one of your hired hands.’
Na ban me ti vren me na, “Ban me tie na iri ni mi gran me wa ba tie ndu niwu.
20 And rising up, he went to his father. But while he was still at a distance, his father saw him, and he was moved with compassion, and running to him, he fell upon his neck and kissed him.
U vren tsitsa lunde k'ma ye ni itie ma, wa aa ri he gbron kon ria u itie'a toh, na ya lo suron, na tsutsu ka kriu wu na ma wu yiu.
21 And the son said to him: ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. Now I am not worthy to be called your son.’
U vren tre, Itie mu, mi lahtre ni shulu ni lah tre ni wu, mi na la son ndu yo me tie vren me na.
22 But the father said to his servants: ‘Quickly! Bring out the best robe, and clothe him with it. And put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet.
U itie ma hla ni gran ma ri ni ndu hi ya inkon lon ndindima iri na ban ye, sru niwu na ban zobe ye yo niwu ni wo ni lagban ye son ni niwu ni zah.
23 And bring the fatted calf here, and kill it. And let us eat and hold a feast.
Ni hi vu Ikrju u gon gon ma ye han wa niki ti gan.
24 For this son of mine was dead, and has revived; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to feast.
Ivren mu ana kyu, zizan a he ni re
25 But his elder son was in the field. And when he returned and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
U vren ni kon'a, a na he ni rju. Wa ye whibuhir ni ko na wo ba tsi kangan na ni yo se na ni nglu.
26 And he called one of the servants, and he questioned him as to what these things meant.
Wa yo iri ni mi igran ba, na miyen a ndi a hi nge itu kpi yi.
27 And he said to him: ‘Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safely.’
U igran hla ni wu, anitu wa tsitsa me a kma ye koh, u tie mendu ba nhan kikle krju u gon gon ma ni tu wa a kma ye ko pyan me.
28 Then he became indignant, and he was unwilling to enter. Therefore, his father, going out, began to plead with him.
U ninkon ma tie nfu na kama ri koh, u itie mba a rju ye bre wu.
29 And in response, he said to his father: ‘Behold, I have been serving you for so many years. And I have never transgressed your commandment. And yet, you have never given me even a young goat, so that I might feast with my friends.
Vren ninkon lu miyen itie, “Ya Ise gbugbu wa mi tiya niwu, mina kamu ni wo tre mena, i wu na taba ne vren yawo ri ni ndu me kpa han tan ni kpukpan mu na, ni toh ro mana.
30 Yet after this son of yours returned, who has devoured his substance with loose women, you have killed the fatted calf for him.’
U vren me mba ye, iwa aka yan wo me kle ni bi ti ntran, “U ye nhan kikle ikrju niwu.
31 But he said to him: ‘Son, you are with me always, and all that I have is yours.
Itie ma yo, Ivren mu, u he ni me koko ni tana Ikoh nge wa mi he ni wu'a a hi u me.
32 But it was necessary to feast and to rejoice. For this brother of yours was dead, and has revived; he was lost, and is found.’”
Mi toh abi ni tawu ndu ki ta tie gan, ni ta ngyiri, ama vayi me yi na kyu, “I wa he ni re zizan, ana kado, u ki la toh.
