Ruku 15
1 Hanki maka takisi zago e'neriza vahe'mo'zane, kumi vahe'mo'za Jisasinte erava'o hu'za naneke'a antahinaku hu'naze.
Now all the tax-farmers and sinners came near to give ear to him.
2 Hianagi Farisi vahe'ene kasegere ugota hu'naza (sraib) vahe'mo'za zamagra'a ke hugantu hugama hu'za, ama nemo'a kumi vahe zmareno ne'zana zamagrane magopi nene hu'za nehazageno,
And the Pharisees and scribes were angry, saying, This man gives approval to sinners, and takes food with them.
3 Jisasi'a ana kenona amanage huno fronka kea zamasami'ne,
And he made a story for them, saying,
4 Mago'moma tamagripintima, 100'a sipisipi ante'nenifinti mago'mo fanane hanigeno'a inankna hugahie? 99ni'a zamatrenige'za agupofi mani'nenageno, fananema hu'nemofonku hakeva hakeva huno keno erifore hugahie.
What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if one of them gets loose and goes away, will not let the ninety-nine be in the waste land by themselves, and go after the wandering one, till he sees where it is?
5 Ome keno eri fore huteno, afunte avrenteno muse nehuno,
And when he has got it again, he takes it in his arms with joy.
6 avreno nontema ehanatino'a, roneamokizmine tva'onte'ma nemaniza nagara ke hanige'za esageno, anage huno zmasamigahie. Muse nagri ene eme hinketo. Na'ankure fnanema hu'nea sipisipia hago hakena eri fore hu'noe huno hugahie!
And when he gets back to his house, he sends for his neighbours and friends, saying to them, Be glad with me, for I have got back my sheep which had gone away.
7 Hanki Nagra amanage hu'na neramasmue. Anahukna kante, 99ni'a vahe'mo'za fatgo hu'nazankiza zmagu'a rukrehe osugahazanagi, mago kumi vahe'mo, agu'a rukrehe nehigeno'a monafina tusi muse nehaze.
I say to you that even so there will be more joy in heaven when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing, than for ninety-nine good men, who have no need of a change of heart.
8 Jisasi'a mago'ane huno, Mago a'mo'ma 10ni'a zago ante'nenifinti, magoke zagoma fanane hu'nenkeno'a, rampe tavi taginteno noma'a harafi huno hakeva hakeva huno keno eri fore hugahie.
Or what woman, having ten bits of silver, if one bit has gone from her hands, will not get a light, and go through her house, searching with care till she sees it?
9 Ana a'mo'ma ome ke fore huteno'a, rone'agu'ene, tva'oma'are nemaniza vaheku'enena zmasamino, Muse nagrane eme hinketo, na'ankure zagonima fananema hu'neana hago hakena erifore hu'noe huno hugahie!
And when she has it again, she gets her friends and neighbours together, saying, Be glad with me, for I have got back the bit of silver which had gone from me.
10 Hanki amanage hu'na neramasmue, anahu kante mago kumi vahe'mo'ma agu'ama rukrahe'ma nehige'za, Anumzamofo ankeromo'za tusi muse nehaze.
Even so, I say to you, There is joy among the angels of God, when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing.
11 Jisasi'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Mago ne'mo tare ne' mofavre zanante'ne.
And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 Henka ne'amo nafa'amofonku anage huno asami'ne, afufeno ka'a nagrama eri snuama'a refko hunka namisnane higeno, nefa'a fenoma'a refko huno znami'ne.
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me that part of your property which will be mine. And he made division of his goods between them.
13 Zaza kna omanineno henka ne'amo, fenoma'a erino afete moparega vu'no anantega umani'neno, aza osu havi avu'avazante fenozama ome atre eme atre hu'ne.
And not long after, the younger son got together everything which was his and took a journey into a far-away country, and there all his money went in foolish living.
14 Maka'zama'a atre vagaretegeno, ana mopafina tusi agate'za fore higeno, ana ne'mofona mago'zama'a omnegeno tusi'a agazanku hu'ne.
And when everything was gone, there was no food to be had in that country, and he was in need.
15 Ana higeno mago mopa agafa nete vuno, erizampi avresigu ome antahigegeno, ana nemo'a afu'a kegava hinogu huntegeno afu kevuma mani'narega vu'ne.
And he went and put himself into the hands of one of the people of that country, and he sent him into his fields to give the pigs their food.
16 Magore huno vahe'mo'za ne'zana omizageno, afumo'za kohe akru'a nenazafinti nemu hu'naku agesa antahintahi hu'ne.
And so great was his need that he would have been glad to take the pigs' food, and no one gave him anything.
17 Hianagi agrama knare antahintahima e'nerino'a, agra'a anage hu'ne. Mika'a nenfa eri'za vahe'mo'za rama'a breti nenaze. Hianagi nagra amafi mani'nena nagakura fri'za hue!
But when he came to his senses, he said, What numbers of my father's servants have bread enough, and more, while I am near to death here through need of food!
18 Nagra otina nenfante vuna, anage hu'na ome asamigahue. Nafanimoka Anumzamofonte'ene kagritera kumi hu'nogu,
I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes:
19 ne'nimo'e hunka kagra nagrikura osunka, eri'za vaheka'agna hunka navro hu'na hugahue huno agesa antahine.
I am no longer good enough to be named your son: make me like one of your servants.
20 Anage huteno otino nefantega e'ne, ogamanu ne-egeno, nafa'amo negeno asuntaginteno, agareno vuno ome agazafeno, agi antako hu'ne.
And he got up and went to his father. But while he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with pity for him and went quickly and took him in his arms and gave him a kiss.
21 Ana nehigeno ana ne'amo anage huno nafa'amofo ome asmi'ne, Nafa'nimoke, Anumzamofonte ene kagrite'enena kumi hu'noe. E'ina hu'negu ne'nimo'e hunka nagrikura hugara osu'noe. Hanki eri'za vahe'ni'e hunka huo.
And his son said to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes: I am no longer good enough to be named your son.
22 Hianagi nafa'amo'a kazokzo eri'za vahe'agu anage huno zmasamine, ame hutma hentofa kena erita eme antaninentetma, azampina asane agia anone eme antaninteho.
But the father said to his servants, Get out the first robe quickly, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet:
23 Agaho bulimakamo'ma afovage hu'nesia avreta eme ahetma, krenketa neneta maka'mota musena hamneno.
And get the fat young ox and put it to death, and let us have a feast, and be glad.
24 Na'ankure ama ne'nimo'a fri'neanagi, ete asimu eri'ne. Fanane hu'neanagi, ete hago ehanatine, nehige'za tusi'za hu'za muse hu'naze.
For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.
25 Hagi zage ne'mofavre'amo ehanatino nomofo tva'onte ne-eno, zavena neheza avogema nehazana nentahino,
Now the older son was in the field: and when he came near the house, the sounds of music and dancing came to his ears.
26 mago eri'za vahe ke huno, na'a anamafina nehaze huno antahige'ne.
And he sent for one of the servants, questioning him about what it might be.
27 Ana ne'mo'a anage huno asmi'ne, negagna'a ehanatigeno negafa'a afovage hu'nea agaho bulimakao aheno krege'za nene'ze. Na'ankure negagnana mago'zamo'a azeri haviza osigeno ete ehanatigeno'e huno asmine.
And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has had the young ox put to death because he has come back safely.
28 Hianagi nempu'amofona rimpa hegeno, ana nompima ufrezankura avesra hu'ne. Nefa'a megia atiramino mofavre'a azeri fru huke hu'ne.
But he was angry and would not go in; and his father came out and made a request to him to come in.
29 Hianagi ana nona'a amanage huno nafa'amofona asmi'ne, kama antahio! Kagri eri'zana kazahu'na vu'noe. Rama'a zagegfufi erizanka'a erinegantena, mago zupe hu'na keka'a rufu'otaginoe. Ana nehugenka magore hunka osi memena naminkena, rone ni'amozanena aheta kreta neneta musena osu'noe.
But he made answer and said to his father, See, all these years I have been your servant, doing your orders in everything: and you never gave me even a young goat so that I might have a feast with my friends:
30 Hianagi ama mofavre kamoma maka zanka'a monko avu'avazante ome atre vagareno eri haviza huteno egenka, kagra afovage agaho bulimakao ahenka krente'nane.
But when this your son came, who has been wasting your property with bad women, you put to death the fat young ox for him.
31 Higeno nefa'a anage huno asmi'ne, ne'nimoka kagra hakare zupa nagrane mani'nanankino, maka'zama ante'noana, Kagri su'a me'ne.
And he said to him, Son, you are with me at all times, and all I have is yours.
32 Hianagi tagra neza neneta muse huntegahune. Na'ankure ama negagna'a fri'ne huta hu'noanagi, kasefa huno mani'ne. Fanane hu'ne huta hunanagi, efore hu'ne huno asami'ne.
But it was right to be glad and to have a feast; for this your brother, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away and has come back.
