Luke 15
1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
A om uh vaengah mangmucoi rhoek neh hlangtholh rhoek loh anih taengah hnatun ham boeih a paan uh.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
Te vaengah Pharisee rhoek neh cadaek rhoek te cai uh tih, “Anih loh hlangtholh rhoek a doe tih amih taengah a caak,” a ti uh.
3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
Te dongah hekah nuettahnah he amih ham a thui pa tih,
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
“Nangmih khuikah mebang hlang khaw tu yakhat a khueh vetih te khui lamkah loh pakhat te poci koinih, sawmko pako te khosoek ah a hnoo tih a hmuh duela aka poci te a hnuk ah a hlak moenih a?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
A hmuh vaengah khaw a laengpang dongah a tloeng tih omngaih ta.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
Im la a pawk vaengah khaw a paya rhoek neh imben rhoek te a hueh tih, Kamah taengah omngaih uh, ka tu aka poci te ka hmuh coeng,’ a tii.
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Te vanbangla nangmih taengah ka thui 'yutnah aka ngoe pawh hlang dueng sawmko pako so lakah aka yut hlangtholh pakhat soah ni vaan ah omngaihnah a om eh.
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
“Huta loh tangkanuei lung rha te a khueh. Tangkanuei pakhat te a hlong atah, hmaiim te a tok phoeiah im te a nawt, a hmuh pawt atah khaelh khaelh a tlap.
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
A hmuh daengah, a paya rhoek neh imben rhoek te a hueh tih, “Tangkanuei ka poci sak te ka hmuh dongah kamah taengah omngaih uh,’ a ti pueng.
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Te vanbangla nangmih taengah kan thui, “hlangtholh pakhat a yut soah ni Pathen kah puencawn rhoek hmaiah omngaihnah a om,” a ti nah.
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Te phoeiah, “Hlang pakhat loh capa panit a khueh.
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
Amih rhoi khuiah a noe loh a napa te, 'A pa, koe a kaekvang na hmoel te kamah m'pae laeh,’ a ti nah. Te dongah a napa loh amih rhoi ham khosaknah te a tael pah.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
Tedae khohnin muep a koe kolla boeih aka kool a capa a noe tah kho hla la yiin. Te phoeiah a koe te pahoi a poek tih cungpoeh cungdam la hing.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
Boeih a hnonah phoeiah tah te rhoek pingpang ah khokha loh muep a pai thil tih, anih khaw vawt tangkhuet.
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Te dongah te pingpang kah pilnam pakhat taengah cet tih kap. Te vaengah anih te ok vuelh ham lohma la a tueih.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
Te vaengah ok loh a caak canghlam koi te caak ham a hue dae anih te pae uh pawh.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
Te daengah amah te a cueih koep om tih, 'A pa kah kutcoep rhoek te yet pataeng buh a coih sak uh dae kai tah khokha neh ka poci pahoi coeng.
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
Ka thoo vetih a pa taengla ka cet pawn ni. Amah taengah, 'A pa, vaan neh nang hmaiah ka tholh coeng.
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
Na ca la khue ham khaw a koihvaih la ka om moenih, kai he na kutcoep pakhat la ng'khueh, ' ka ti nah ni,’ a ti.
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Te dongah thoo tih a napa te a paan. Tedae a hla la a om vaengah a napa loh a hmuh tih a thinphat. Te dongah yong tih a rhawn ah a kop tih a mok.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
Te vaengah a capa loh, 'A pa, vaan neh namah hmaiah ka tholh coeng, na ca la khue ham khaw a koihvaih la ka om moenih,’ a ti nah.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
Tedae a napa loh a sal rhoek te, 'Hnikul tanglue te a loe ham khaw a khuen uh lamtah anih he bai sakuh. A kut dongah kutbuen, a kho dongah khokhom buen sak uh.
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
Vaito puetsuet te han khuen uh, te te ngawnuh. Te phoeiah uum uh sih lamtah ca uh sih.
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Ka ca a duek la aka om he koep hing, aka poci la om dae koep a phoe coeng dongah pahoi uum sih,” a ti nah.
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
Te vaengah lohma ah aka om a capa a ham te, im vat ham pha tih toembael neh a laam uh te a yaak.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
Te dongah camoe pakhat a khue tih tekah hno akam om te a dawt.
27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
Te long te anih taengah, 'Na mana te ha pawk coeng. Te dongah na pa loh vaito puetsuet te a ngawn tih anih te sading la a doe,’ a ti nah.
28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
Te dongah kosi a hong tih kun ham ngaih pawh. Tedae a napa tah cet tih anih te a hloep.
29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
Tedae a napa te a doo tih, 'Kum, heyet na taengah sal ka bi tih na olpaek ka poe moenih he. Tedae kai ham tah ka paya neh uum hamla maae pataeng nan paek moenih.
30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
Tedae hlanghalh rhoek neh na khosaknah aka yoop na capa tah ha pawk vaengah, vaito puetsuet te anih ham na ngawn pah,’ a ti nah.
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
Tedae a napa loh amah te, “Camoe aw, nang tah kai taengah rhawp na om tih, kai koe boeih he nang hut coeng ni.
32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
Tedae uum vaengah khaw omngaih ham a kuek ta. Na mana tah aka duek la om coeng dae ha hing koep, poci coeng dae koep ha phoe,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
