Luke 15
1 And all the publicans and the sinners were drawing near to him, to hear him.
Mangmu ak cawikungkhqi ingkaw thlakthawlhkhqi ing ak awi ak ngaina a venawh law uhy.
2 And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth 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 spoke to them this parable, saying,
Cawh Jesu ing vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve kqawn pek khqi hy:
4 What man of you having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth it?
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 hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
A huh tlaih awhtaw, ak phleng awh kawt nawh,
6 And when he hath come home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.
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 in like manner there will be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of repentance.
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 pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search carefully till she findeth 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 hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I lost.
A huh tlaih awhtaw, a pyikhqi ingkaw a imceng locengkhqi ce khy nawh, Ni zeel pyi khqi hy.
10 I say to you, that thus there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
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 He said also, 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 the portion of the property that falleth to me. And he divided to them his living.
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 many days after, the younger son gathered all together, and went abroad into a far country; and there wasted his substance in riotous 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 he had spent all, there arose a great famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
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 joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
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 he longed to fill himself with the husks that the swine ate; and no one gave to him.
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 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 here with hunger!
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 arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before thee;
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 worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired 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 arose, and went to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
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 the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy 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, Bring out the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals 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 bring the fatted calf; kill it, and let us eat and make merry.
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 was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to make merry.
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 his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
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 calling one of the servants, he inquired what these things meant.
Cedawngawh tyihzawih pynoet ce khy nawh doet hy.
27 And he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
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 entreated him.
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 And he answering said to his father, Lo! for so many years have I served thee, and never transgressed thy command; and yet to me thou never gavest a kid, that I might make merry 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 as soon as this thy son came, who devoured thy living with harlots, thou didst kill for him the fatted calf.
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, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
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 It was meet that we should make merry and be glad; for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.
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.
