Luke 15
1 But all the tax-collectors and the sinners were, unto him, drawing near, to be hearkening unto him;
Mangmu ak cawikungkhqi ingkaw thlakthawlhkhqi ing ak awi ak ngaina a venawh law uhy.
2 and both the Pharisees and the Scribes were murmuring, saying, This man, unto sinners, giveth welcome, 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 spake unto them this parable, saying—
Cawh Jesu ing vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve kqawn pek khqi hy:
4 What man from among you, having a hundred sheep, and losing, from among them, one, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go his way after the lost one, until he find 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, finding it, he layeth it upon his shoulders, rejoicing;
A huh tlaih awhtaw, ak phleng awh kawt nawh,
6 and, coming unto his house, calleth together the friends and the neighbours, saying unto them—Rejoice with me! because I have found my sheep that 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 unto you—Thus, joy in heaven, will there be, over one sinner repenting, rather than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who indeed 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 seek carefully, until she find 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, having found it, she calleth together her female friends and neighbours, saying—Rejoice with me! because I have found the piece of silver which I had lost.
A huh tlaih awhtaw, a pyikhqi ingkaw a imceng locengkhqi ce khy nawh, Ni zeel pyi khqi hy.
10 Thus, I say unto you, there ariseth joy in presence of the messengers of God, over one sinner repenting.
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 And he said—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 unto the father—Father! give me the share that falleth to me, of what there is. And, he, divided unto them the 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, after not many days, the younger son, gathering all together, left home for a country far away, and, there, squandered his substance with 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 mighty famine throughout 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 his way, and joined himself unto one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to be feeding 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 used to long to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and, no man, was giving unto 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 But coming, to himself, he said—How many hired servants of my father, have bread enough and to spare, whereas, I, with famine, here, am perishing!
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 unto my father, and will say unto 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 No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, —Make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came unto his own father.
Na ca na awm khy aham am kawih voel nyng; nak thlangvat pynoet na awm ni ta lawt mai, tina vang nyng,’ tihy.
20 Now, while yet he was holding afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and, running, fell upon his neck, and tenderly 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 unto him—Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee: No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, —[make me as one of thy hired servants.]
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 unto his servants—Quick! bring forth a robe—the best! and put on him, and get out a ring for his hand, and sandals for 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 be bringing the fatted calf, sacrifice! 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 Because, this my son, was, dead, and hath come to life again, was lost, and is found. And they began to be making 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 But his elder son was in a field; and, as, in coming, he drew near unto 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 near one of the youths, he inquired what these things, could be.
Cedawngawh tyihzawih pynoet ce khy nawh doet hy.
27 And, he, said unto him, —Thy brother, hath come, and thy father hath sacrificed the fatted calf, because, safe and sound, hath he received him back.
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 provoked to anger, and would not go in. And, his father, coming out, began to entreat 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 But, he, answering said unto his father—Lo! so many years as these, do I serve thee, and, at no time, a commandment of thine, have I transgressed, —And, unto me, at no time, hast thou given a kid, that, with my friends, I might make merry;
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, when, this thy son, who had devoured thy living with harlots, came, thou didst sacrifice, 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 But, he, said unto him—Child! thou, always, art, with me, and, all that is mine, 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 But, to make merry and rejoice, there was need, because, this thy brother—was, dead, and hath come to life again, and 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.
