Luqaassa 15
1 Issi gallas qaraxa shiishizaytine nagaranchati wuri Yesussappe siyanas iza achch shiiqqida.
Then drew near unto Him all the publicans and other notorious sinners, to hear Him.
2 Farsawetinne Xaafeti “ha addey nagaranchata ixxenna, istarakka mees” giidi ba garssan zigiretida.
And the pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man entertaineth wicked persons, and eateth with them.
3 Yesussaykka istas leemuso hiz gi yoottides
But He spake to them this 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?
saying, What man of you that hath an hundred sheep, and loseth one of them, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the field, and go after that which was lost, till he find it?
5 Demmida wode ufaysara hashen tookki ekkidi
And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders rejoicing:
6 beso simmes, ba laggetanne guta asata issi bolla xeeyggidi (dhayida ta dorssiyo demmadis tanara issife ufa7etite) gandes.
and coming home, he calleth his friends and neighbors together and saith unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 Ta intes yootays (hessathokka maaroteth koshonta uddufun tammanne uddufun xillotappe maaretethan geliza issi nagaranchan salon ufayssa gidana.” )
Thus, I tell you, there shall be joy in heaven over one repenting sinner, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons, that have no need of repentance.
8 Woyko issi tamu bira santimey diza maccashiya he tamappe issiniyadhaykko xomppe oythada demmna gakanas keeththa gars pitada lo7etha koyonta maccash oonee?
Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and search carefully till she find it?
9 Izakka demmida wode ba laggetanne ba gutata issife xeeyggada “tappe dhayida bira santimeyo demmida gish tanara issife ufa7etite” gandus.
and when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and neighbors together; saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost.
10 Ta intes yootays “hessathokka maarotan geliza issi nagarancha uran Xoossa kiitanchata achchan ufays gidana”
Thus, I tell you, there is joy among the angels of God over one repenting sinner.
11 Qassekka Yesussay asatas hizgides “issi uras nam77u nayti deetes.
And He said, a certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his father,
12 Istappekka kaalo naazi ba aawa (aabo! nees diza miishshafe ta gish taas imma) gides. Aawaykka bees diza miishsha ba naytas gishides.”
Father, give me the portion that falleth to my share. And he divided his substance between 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.
And not many days after the younger son gathered all together and went abroad into a distant country, and there squandered away his substance by living luxuriously.
14 Izikka bees dizaysa wursi wursidappe guyyen he biittan iita koshay denddini daro waaydes.
And when he had spent all, there happen'd a grievous famine in that country, 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.
And he went and let himself to one of the people of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 Naazikka guddunthati miza harqqo maanaas amottides, shin hessakka immizaddey baa.
And he would gladly have filled his belly with the husks which the swine did eat: and no man relieved him.
17 Gido attin iza wozinay simmida wode “ta aawa ashkkaratappe aappunappe kath tirpize shin tani hayssan gafan hayqqana matadinaa?
But coming to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger?
18 Denddada ta aawa so baada (aabo! salon Xoossa: biittan nena ta qohadis.”)
I will rise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee,
19 Haysappe guye “ta nena geetistada xeeyggistanas taas beesena: ne ashkkaratappe issa mala tana taybba” gides.
and am no longer worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 Hessa gish dendidi ba aawakko biddes. gido attin buroo izi hahora yishin aaway beyidi michchettidinne izakko woxxi biiddi idimi oykkidi yerides.
And he rose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion; and he 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.
And his son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and am no longer worthy to be called thy son.
22 Gido attin aaway ashkkaratas eesottidi wursofe doorettida mayo ehidi mayzite iza biradhdhen yiichi, iza tohonkka caamma aathite.
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 shoes on his feet:
23 Modhdho mirgo ehidi shukkite, miidi ufa7etos.
and bring hither the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and be merry:
24 Haysi ta nay hayqqides shin paxides dhaydes shin beettides gides, hessafe guyyen ufa7eteth oykkida.
for this my son was dead, and is alive again, and was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 Haysi hanniza wode bayra naazi goshsha son dees, heepekka simmidi so matida wode diitha durus siyides.
But his elder son was out in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing:
26 Izika ashkkaratappe issa xeeyggidi “hessi aazzee?” gi oychchides.
and he called one of the servants to him, and asked what these things meant.
27 Ashkaarazikka “ne ishay yides, izi saronne lo7ooni simmida gish ne aaway handadho mirgo shukides” gides.
And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and well: but he was angry, and would not go in.
28 Bayra ishazikka hanqqettidi so gelanaskka koybeynna. Aawaykka kare kezidi izi so gelana mala woosides.
Therefore his father came out and desired him.
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,
But he answered and said to his father, Behold so many years as I serve thee, nor have I ever transgressed thy command, and yet thou hast never given me a kid, to be merry with my friends:
30 Gido attin haysi ne naazi nees dizaysa wursi laymatizaytara wursidi yishin handadho mirgo izas shukkadasa” gides
but as soon as this thy son was come, who hath eaten up thy substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 Awaykka “ta nazo ne wurso wode tanara daassa, taas gididay wurikka neessa.
And he said unto him, Son, thou art always with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 Haysi ne ishay hayqqides shin paxides dhaydes shin beettides, hessa gish nuni ufa7istanas besses” gides.
But it was fit we should be merry and rejoice; for this thy brother was dead, and is come to life again, was lost and is found.
