Luke 15
1 Many [HYP] tax collectors and [others whom people considered to be] habitual sinners kept coming to Jesus to listen to him teach.
Vat nanang sesun gandu nan gisin nanan kulapi wa dasu kitin yesu idin lanzughe.
2 The Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws [who were there] [SYN] began to grumble, saying, “This man welcomes sinners and he also [defiles himself by eating] with them!”
Afarsayawa nan nanang niyerte wa din gbulu idin belu natimene, “unit ulele din sesu aman kulapi amini din nlii nanghenu.”
3 So Jesus told them this parable:
Yesu benle nani tinankuguldo,
4 “Suppose that one of you had 100 sheep. If one of them were lost, (you [(sg)] would certainly leave the 99 sheep in the pasture, and go and search for the one lost sheep until you found it./would you not leave the 99 sheep in the pasture, and go and search for the one lost sheep until you found it?) [RHQ]
“Ghari nanya mine, a wadi nin nakam akut likure ada dira kurum naye na aba sunu akut kutir nin kutir a doo mpiziru kurume nanya kushue se ase kuninba?
5 When you [(sg)] found it, you would put it on your shoulders and be happy.
A wanin se kuning, na ama ti kunin nabandang a su ayi aboo ba.
6 When you brought it home, you would call together your friends and neighbors and say to them, ‘Be happy with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost!’
A wa saa kilari, a yicila adondong nan nanan kupoo mye, abelin nani, “Bunoni liburu liboo, bara nan nse Kukam nighe na kuna wulu.”
7 I tell you [(pl)] that similarly [God] will be very happy about each and every sinner who turns from doing evil. God is not happy about 99 people who [think that they] are [IRO] righteous and think that they do not need to turn from doing evil.
Nbelin munu au nanere, liburi liboo ba yitu kitene kani bara unan kulapi warum ule na a suna kulapi mye, akatin anit akut kutir nin kutir ale na idi nanya kulapi mene.
8 Or, suppose that a woman has ten [very valuable] silver coins. If she loses one of them, (she will certainly light a lamp and sweep the floor and search carefully until she finds it!/will she not light a lamp and sweep the floor and search carefully until she finds it?) [RHQ]
Sa u yeme uwaniari na adi nin nikubu likure, firum wa wulughe, na aba ti ula limoo a kuu kutyye a piziru sey a see fi nin ba?
9 When she finds it, she will call together her friends and neighbors and say, ‘Be happy with me, [because] I have found the coin that I lost!’
A wa see, a yicila adondong nin naman kupoo mye a benle nani “buno ni liburi liboo bara nam see fikubunighe na fina wulu.”
10 I tell you that similarly the angels will be happy about [even just] one sinner who turns from doing evil.”
Nanere, mbelen minu, liburi liboo ba yitu nbun nnono kadura Kutelle uwarum nwa sun kulapi mye.”
11 Then [Jesus told them this parable to compare what the Pharisees and teachers of the Jewish law thought about those who turn from their sinful behavior with what God thinks about such people]. He said, “A certain man had two sons.
Yesu moro, “Umong unit wadi nin nano niba, ubene nanya myene woron ncife,
12 One day the younger son said to his father, ‘Father, [I do not want to wait until you(sg) die]. Give me now the share of your property that belongs to me!’ So the man divided his property between his two sons.
'Ucif, nai unang ugadue,' a koso nani utamani mye vat.
13 A few days later, the younger son [sold his share]. He gathered his money and other things together and went to a country far away. There he spent all his money foolishly in reckless/wild living.
Ma itaa ayiri ba, ubene fita udun kan kipen piit, adi wultun vat imong ile na iwa nighe nan nadondong a hem.
14 After he had spent all his money, there was a great famine throughout that country. And soon he did not have enough [food to] eat.
Na amala uwultune vat, kukpong kudindya deu nanyan mgene, anin cizina upiziru nimonli.
15 So he went to one of the landowners in that area and asked for work. The man sent him to work taking care of the pigs in his field.
Ado adi piziru katwa kitin kon kunang myenne, a naghe katwa libya na ledu.
16 [Because he was very hungry], he would have been glad to eat the bean pods that the pigs ate. But no one gave him anything to eat.
Aso nin nayiaboo adin lii nimonli naledu bara na umong naghe imonli ba.
17 Finally he thought clearly about what he had done. He said to himself, ‘All of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food! They have more [SYN] than they can eat, but here I am dying because I do not have anything to eat [HYP]!
Bara nani na kibinaiye nsa kidomomye, aworo, 'Acin ncef nighe amashinnari din lii imonli igutuzuna, mmile da sosin kikane kukpon ba moliia!
18 So I will leave here and go back to my father. I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against God [MTY, EUP] and against you [(sg)].
Mba sunu kikane ndo kitin ncif ning, nning belinghe, “Ucif, nta kulapi nnang kitene, nin kiti fe.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called {of [you] calling me} your son. Just hire me to be like one of the other hired servants.”’
Na mbatin iyicilai usaun fe ba; tai nafo nkong kucin fe.”'
20 So he left there and went back to his father’s house. But while he was still some distance from the house, his father saw him. He pitied him. He ran to his son and embraced him and kissed him [on the cheek].
Usaun ubene nya udu kitin ncife, na awa doo piit, ucife yeneghe, anin lanzan nkunekune me, a taa ucum, adi gbindiringhe a luluu kukpan nuu me.
21 His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against God [MTY/EUP] and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called {of [you] calling me} your son.’
Usaune woroghe, 'Ucif, nta kulapi kitene kani nin bun fe. Na mbatin i yicilai usaun fe ba.'
22 But his father said to his servants, ‘Go quickly and bring to me the best robe [in the house]! Then put it on my son. Put a ring on his finger [to show that I am honoring him again as my son]! Put sandals on his feet [to show that I do not consider him to be a slave]!
Ucife woro na cinme, 'Daan nin nimoon icine, i shoonghe, i tighe ficancan, nin na kpatok nabunu me.
23 Then bring the fat calf and kill it [and cook it]. We [(inc)] must eat and celebrate,
Daan ning fina fi gbondilong ida boo fining. Na ti li tisu liburi liboo.
24 because my son has returned! [It is as though] [MET] he was dead and is alive again! [It is as though] he was lost and now has been found!’ So they did that, and they all began to celebrate.
Bara na usaunighe wa ku aminim nta luai. A wa wulu aminin saa.' Inin cizina liburi liboo.
25 While all that was happening, the man’s older son was out [working] in the field. When he came near to the house, he heard [people playing] music and dancing.
Usaun ukune wa di di kunen. Na a da susut kilare, alanza tigangang nan na lantung nin nyizinu.
26 He called one of the servants and asked what was happening.
Ayicila nkan kucin a tirino iyanghari nse kilare?
27 The servant said to him, ‘Your [younger] brother has come [home] Your father has [told us to] kill the fat calf [to celebrate] because your brother has returned safe and healthy.’
Kucine woroghe, 'gwana fe nsa ucif fe uni boo fina fidya, bara na asaa ucine.'
28 [But] the older brother was angry. He refused to enter [the house]. So his father came out and pleaded with him [to come in].
Ayi nana usaun ukune, a nari upiru kilare ucife nuzu, ada fooghe acara.
29 But he replied to his father, ‘Listen to me! For many years I have worked for you like a slave. I always obeyed everything you told me to do. But you never even gave me a young goat, so that I could [kill it and cook it and] celebrate with my friends.
Bara nani usaun ukune kpana a woron ncife, 'Yene, mbgardang nakus ale na nta nin fi, na insa nanza fi kibinai ba, na usa nayi kagono kayin nboo nan na du nighe ba.
30 But this son of yours spent all the [money he got from] what you gave him. He spent it [to pay for sleeping with] prostitutes! Yes, now he has returned home, [but it is not fair that] you have told your [servants] to kill the fat calf [and cook it] for him!’
bara na usaun fe nsaa, ule na ana di molu imon lisosin nan nawani ahem, umini nabooghe fina fidya.'
31 But his father said to him, ‘My son, you have always been with me, and all my property [that I did not give to your brother] has been yours.
Ucife woroghe, 'usaun ning, udi ligowe nin me vat ni mon ile na idi inan in fere.
32 But [it is as though] [MET] your brother was dead and is alive again! [It is as though] he was lost and now he has been found! So it is appropriate for us to be happy and celebrate!’”
Bara nani ucaun ti su ayiaboo ti nyizin, bara na gwana fe wa ku, amini nta ulai nene: awa wulu aminin nsa.”
