Luqaassa 15
1 Issi gallas qaraxa shiishizaytine nagaranchati wuri Yesussappe siyanas iza achch shiiqqida.
Now all the tax-gatherers and sinners continued to draw near him, and to listen to him.
2 Farsawetinne Xaafeti “ha addey nagaranchata ixxenna, istarakka mees” giidi ba garssan zigiretida.
And the Pharisees and Scribes began to complain, saying, "He is welcoming sinners and eating with them!"
3 Yesussaykka istas leemuso hiz gi yoottides
And he told them a parable.
4 “Inte giddofe issi uras xeetu dorssi diikko he xeetu dorssatape issina dhaykko atidda uddufun tammanne uddufunata denbban yeggidi dhayidayssa demmna gakanas koyana bonttay oonee?
"Which one of you men, if he has a hundred sheep, and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it?
5 Demmida wode ufaysara hashen tookki ekkidi
"And after he has found it, he lays it on his shoulder, rejoicing.
6 beso simmes, ba laggetanne guta asata issi bolla xeeyggidi (dhayida ta dorssiyo demmadis tanara issife ufa7etite) gandes.
"When he gets home he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying, "Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’
7 Ta intes yootays (hessathokka maaroteth koshonta uddufun tammanne uddufun xillotappe maaretethan geliza issi nagaranchan salon ufayssa gidana.” )
"I say to you that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons who need no repentance.
8 Woyko issi tamu bira santimey diza maccashiya he tamappe issiniyadhaykko xomppe oythada demmna gakanas keeththa gars pitada lo7etha koyonta maccash oonee?
"Or, again, suppose a woman has ten coins. If she loses one, does she not light a lamp and sweep the house, and search anxiously until she finds it?
9 Izakka demmida wode ba laggetanne ba gutata issife xeeyggada “tappe dhayida bira santimeyo demmida gish tanara issife ufa7etite” gandus.
"And when she has found it, she calls together her woman friends and neighbors and say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.’
10 Ta intes yootays “hessathokka maarotan geliza issi nagarancha uran Xoossa kiitanchata achchan ufays gidana”
"Even so I tell you there is joy in the presence of the angels for God over one sinner who repents."
11 Qassekka Yesussay asatas hizgides “issi uras nam77u nayti deetes.
And he said. "There was a man who had two sons.
12 Istappekka kaalo naazi ba aawa (aabo! nees diza miishshafe ta gish taas imma) gides. Aawaykka bees diza miishsha ba naytas gishides.”
"The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of your property which is coming to me.’ So he divided his means among them.
13 Daro wode gam7onta dishe kaalo naazi ba miishsha wursi shiishshi ekkidi haho biitta biddes. Heenka bees diza miishsha go7ay bayndda coo mela dhaysides.
"Not many days after that the younger son gathered everything together and took his journey into a distant country; and there he wasted his money on living unsavingly.
14 Izikka bees dizaysa wursi wursidappe guyyen he biittan iita koshay denddini daro waaydes.
"After he had spent everything there came a terrible famine in the land, and he began to be in want.
15 Hessa gish he dereni diza asappe issaadekko shiiqidees. He uraykka ba guddunth heemana mala gudduntha heemizasso yeddides.
"So he went and hired to one of the citizens of that land, who sent him out into the fields to feed swine.
16 Naazikka guddunthati miza harqqo maanaas amottides, shin hessakka immizaddey baa.
"And he was longing to be filled with the husks which the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
17 Gido attin iza wozinay simmida wode “ta aawa ashkkaratappe aappunappe kath tirpize shin tani hayssan gafan hayqqana matadinaa?
"When he came to himself he said. "‘How many of my father’s hired men have bread enough and to spare, while I am perishing of hunger!
18 Denddada ta aawa so baada (aabo! salon Xoossa: biittan nena ta qohadis.”)
"‘I will rise and go to my father, and say to him. "Father, I have sinned against Heaven and in your sight,
19 Haysappe guye “ta nena geetistada xeeyggistanas taas beesena: ne ashkkaratappe issa mala tana taybba” gides.
"‘"I am no more worthy to be called your son; only make me like one of your hired men."‘
20 Hessa gish dendidi ba aawakko biddes. gido attin buroo izi hahora yishin aaway beyidi michchettidinne izakko woxxi biiddi idimi oykkidi yerides.
"So he arose and went to his father; but while 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.
21 Naazikka “aabo salon Xoossa, biittan nena ta qohadis, hayssafe guyyen ta ne na geetistada xeeyggistanas taas beesena” gides.
"The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight and am no more worthy to be called your son.’
22 Gido attin aaway ashkkaratas eesottidi wursofe doorettida mayo ehidi mayzite iza biradhdhen yiichi, iza tohonkka caamma aathite.
"‘Fetch the best robe, quick,’ said the father to his slaves, ‘and put it on him, and give him a ring on his finger, and shoes on his feet.
23 Modhdho mirgo ehidi shukkite, miidi ufa7etos.
"‘Bring that fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry,
24 Haysi ta nay hayqqides shin paxides dhaydes shin beettides gides, hessafe guyyen ufa7eteth oykkida.
"‘for this son of mine was dead and is alive again - he was lost and is found.’
25 Haysi hanniza wode bayra naazi goshsha son dees, heepekka simmidi so matida wode diitha durus siyides.
"So they began to make merry. But his elder son was in the field, and as he drew near to the house he heard music and dancing,
26 Izika ashkkaratappe issa xeeyggidi “hessi aazzee?” gi oychchides.
"and he summoned one of the slaves, and began to inquire of him what all this meant.
27 Ashkaarazikka “ne ishay yides, izi saronne lo7ooni simmida gish ne aaway handadho mirgo shukides” gides.
"‘Your brother is come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has him safe and sound.’
28 Bayra ishazikka hanqqettidi so gelanaskka koybeynna. Aawaykka kare kezidi izi so gelana mala woosides.
"But he was angry and would not go in; so his father came out, and attempted to plead with him; but he said to his father.
29 Gido attin izikka zaaridi aawas “hekko tani hayssa gakanas nees aylle mala oothadis, azazoppe isinokka pacisabeyke, gido attin ne ta laggetara ufa7istana mala issi deyshsha laaqqakka imabeyka,
"‘All these years I have been slaving for you and never disobeyed a command of yours. Yet you never gave me even a kid so that I might make merry with my friends.
30 Gido attin haysi ne naazi nees dizaysa wursi laymatizaytara wursidi yishin handadho mirgo izas shukkadasa” gides
"‘But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with harlots, you have killed him the fatted calf.’
31 Awaykka “ta nazo ne wurso wode tanara daassa, taas gididay wurikka neessa.
"‘My dear son,’ answered his father, ‘you are always with me and all that is mine is yours.
32 Haysi ne ishay hayqqides shin paxides dhaydes shin beettides, hessa gish nuni ufa7istanas besses” gides.
"‘But it was fitting that we should make merry and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and is alive; he was lost and is found.’"
