Luke 15
1 But all the tax-collectors and the sinners were, unto him, drawing near, to be hearkening unto him;
Bi lubigaaba leni i tagibiadi danba den kpendi Jesu kani ki bua ki gbadi o maama.
2 and both the Pharisees and the Scribes were murmuring, saying, This man, unto sinners, giveth welcome, and eateth with them.
Falisieninba leni li balimaama bangikaaba den yenbidi ki tua: “O joa na gaani i tagibiadi danba cangu ki go di leni ba.”
3 And he spake unto them this parable, saying—
Lani Jesu den pua ba mi naa kpanjama:
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?
“Yi siiga yua pia pe kobiga ke yendo bia, naani waa baa ŋa ya piiyiadi n peyiadi n sieni bi kpaakaanu li fuali nni ki ŋoadi yua n yaadi yeni hali ki ban le o?
5 And, finding it, he layeth it upon his shoulders, rejoicing;
O ya laa o o baa taa ki bugi o leni li pamanli.
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!
O ya ban pundi o denpo, o baa yini o danlinba leni o yieninlieba ki yedi ba: 'Taani mani leni nni tin mangi ti pala, kelima n laa n pia, yua n den bia yeni.'
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.
N yedi yi, li pamanli baa ye tanpoli po kelima ti tuonbiadi daano yendo yua n biidi o pali o tuonbiadi po ki lebidi o yama, ki cie niteginkaaba piiyia n niba yia yaaba n kaa nua ke mi lebidima yeni tie tiladi yaapo.
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?
Bi o pua ya pia kujapiena piiga ke yenli bia, naani waa baa cuoni ki fidisanga, ki pidi li dieli ki ya lingi li dindini hali ki ban le o cili?
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.
O ya laa li, o baa yini o danlinba leni o yieninlieba ki yedi ba: 'Taani mani leni nni tin mangi ti pala kelima n laa n kujapienli yaali n bia yeni.'
10 Thus, I say unto you, there ariseth joy in presence of the messengers of God, over one sinner repenting.
N yedi yi, li baa tie yene tanpoli po. U Tienu malekinba baa mangi bi pala kelima ti tuonbiadi daano yendo yua n biidi o pali o tuonbiadi po ki lebidi o yama.”
11 And he said—A certain man, had two sons.
O go den yedi: “O joa den ye ki pia bonjala lie.
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.
O bonwaalo den yedi o baa: 'N baa, boagidi ŋan bili npo ya faali a piama nni ki teni nni.' O joa yeni den boagidi ba o piama.
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.
Lan tieni dana waamu o bonwaalo den taa o ya biinu kuli ki gedi ya diema n foagi. O den biani o ya faali kuli kelima o bibiadima po.
14 And, when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine throughout that country, —and, he, began to be in want.
Wan den biani likuli, mi konbiadima den baa mi diema yeni, ke o cili ki luo yaala n tie tiladi o yema po kuli.
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.
Lani o den gedi ki mia li tuonli dotieyendo kani ke o gedini o kuanu po ke wan ban ya kpa i duoli.
16 And he used to long to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and, no man, was giving unto him.
Mi koma po o den bua ki ya di i duoli n di ya jiema, ama oba kuli ki puni o.
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!
Lani o den kpaagi ki laa o yama nni ki yedi o pali nni: 'N baa tuonsoanba pia li bonjekaala ke li kandi ke mini ti ye ne ki kpe mi koma.
18 I will arise, and go unto my father, and will say unto him—Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee:
N baa fii ki guani n baa po, ki ban yedi o: N baa, n tudi U Tienu po leni a yaapo kuli.
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.
Mii go pundi ban yini nni a bijua. Ya tuuni nni nani ŋan baa soani a tuonsoalo maama.”
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.
Lani o den fii ki guani o baa po. Wan daa den ye hali foagima, o baa den laa o ke mi niŋima cuo o, ke o sani ki ban bibi o ki gobini o leni mi buama.
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.]
O bijua den yedi o: 'N baa, n tudi U Tienu po leni a yaapo kuli. Mii go pundi ban yini nni a bijua.
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.
Ama o baa den yedi o naacenba: 'Jaligi mani ki cuani ya liadi cianli n ŋani ki cie ki lani o, ki pilini omi ñoagibima ki pilini o ti cacaadi moko.
23 And be bringing the fatted calf, sacrifice! and let us eat and make merry:
Taa mani li naatonbiwubidili ki kodi li, tin je ki mangi bi pala.
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.
Kelima n bijua na den kpe ki goa ki faadi, o den yaadi ke n goa ki laa o.' Bi den cili ki mangidi bi pala.
25 But his elder son was in a field; and, as, in coming, he drew near unto the house, he heard music and dancing, —
Li den sua ke o bijakpelo ye u kuanu po. Wan den kpendi ki nagini ku diegu, o den gbadi ti baantiadi ke bi pua ki ciaga.
26 and, calling near one of the youths, he inquired what these things, could be.
O den yini naacenyendo ki buali o lan tie yaala.
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.
O naacemo den yedi o: 'A waalo n goa ki kpeni, a baa n laa o leni laafia yene ke o kodi tin wubi ya naatonbiwubidili.'
28 But he was provoked to anger, and would not go in. And, his father, coming out, began to entreat him.
Lani o bijakpelo yeni pali den beni, ke o yie ke o kan kua. O baa den ñani ki miamia ke wan kua.
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;
O den goa ki yedi ba: 'Diidi ki le, n tuuni apo ŋali ya bina n yaba, mii yie a ñoabonli liba kuli, ama ŋaa puni nni baa ŋoabiga ke mini leni n danlinba n taani ki je ki mangi ti pala.
30 But, when, this thy son, who had devoured thy living with harlots, came, thou didst sacrifice, for him, the fatted calf;
Ama a bijua yua n ban dini a ŋalimano leni a poconcona yeni n goa ki kpeni, wani yaapo yo ke a kodi tin wubi ya naatonbiwubidili.'
31 But, he, said unto him—Child! thou, always, art, with me, and, all that is mine, is, thine;
O baa den goa ki yedi o: 'N bijua, a ye leni nni yogunu kuli, min pia yaala kuli tie a yaala.
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.
Li pundi tin je ki go mangi ti pala kelima a waalo na den kpe ki go faadi, o den yaadi ke ti goa ki laa o.'”
