Lukas 15
1 Leleꞌ naa, atahori mana edꞌa bꞌea ma atahori nda papakeꞌ laen ra sa, akaꞌ rema risiꞌ Yesus fo rae rena E. Te atahori Yahudi ra rae fee se atahori nda maloleꞌ sa.
Now all the tax-gatherers and sinners continued to draw near him, and to listen to him.
2 Atahori Farisi ro meser agama Yahudi ra rita taꞌo naa ma unggu-remu rae, “Ciih! Atahori ia naꞌabꞌue no atahori nda papakeꞌ ra sa. Lenaꞌ fai Ana endoꞌ naa no se boe!”
And the Pharisees and Scribes began to complain, saying, "He is welcoming sinners and eating with them!"
3 Yesus rena taꞌo naa ma, Ana dui fee se nekendandaaꞌ nae,
And he told them a parable.
4 “Mete ma mia hei ia hambu atahori sa naꞌena bibꞌi lombo natun esa. Boe ma mopo hendi esa. Oras ia atahori naa musi tao sa? Neꞌo ana lao hela bibꞌi lombo ka sio nulu sioꞌ ra reu lenuꞌ sa, ma neu sangga losa ana nita baliꞌ bibꞌi lombo mana mopoꞌ a.
"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 Leleꞌ ana nita baliꞌ bibꞌi lombo naa, ma nasaa nendi baliꞌ e no nemehoꞌot.
"And after he has found it, he lays it on his shoulder, rejoicing.
6 Losa ume, ma ana noꞌe nala nonoon nara, de nafadꞌe se nae, ‘Wae! Hei ima mimihoꞌo mo au dei! Huu au ita baliꞌ bibꞌi lombo mana mopoꞌ ngga ena.’
"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 Naa, sia sorga o onaꞌ naa boe. mete ma hambu atahori mana tao salaꞌ sa dꞌoaꞌ ena, fo baliꞌ nisiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ, na basa mana sia sorga ra ramahoꞌo. Ara romahoꞌo lenaꞌ huu atahori esa mana bali nisiꞌ Lamatua, mia atahori ka sionulu sioꞌ fo mana rasodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ, ma nda laoꞌ sala dalaꞌ sa.”
"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 Boe ma Yesus dui nekendandaaꞌ esa fai nae, “Hambu mama esa naꞌena doi fulaꞌ sanahulu. Te, mopo hendi esa. Oras ia, ana nae tao saa o? Neꞌo ana neu nambilaꞌ lambu fo dꞌelo sia bee-bꞌee, ma ngganggai ume a losa mamana makabiaꞌ ra, fo sangga dꞌoiꞌ naa no malolole.
"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 Leleꞌ ana nita baliꞌ dꞌoiꞌ naa ma, ana neu noꞌe atahori ume titia nara, de nafadꞌe nae, Woi! ima fo mimihoꞌo mo au dei! Huu au ita baliꞌ doi mana mopo ngga ena!’
"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 Sia sorga o onaꞌ naa boe. Mete ma hambu atahori mana tao salaꞌ sa dꞌoaꞌ, de baliꞌ nisiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ, na, basa dedꞌenuꞌ sia sorga ramahoꞌo seli boe.”
"Even so I tell you there is joy in the presence of the angels for God over one sinner who repents."
11 Yesus tute oꞌolan nendiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ laen esa fai nae, “Hambu amaꞌ sa no anan touꞌ rua.
And he said. "There was a man who had two sons.
12 Lao esa, ana murin nafadꞌe aman nae, ‘Amaꞌ e! Banggi fee au hata-hetoꞌ ra leo! Boe ma aman babꞌanggi hata-hetoꞌ ra fee neu ruꞌa se.
"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 Nda dooꞌ sa ma, ana muriꞌ a seo hendi ena nara. De ana mboti bꞌua-baꞌu nara, boe ma lao nisiꞌ nusa dodꞌooꞌ. Sia naa, ana ngganggari doi nara no nesodꞌat sosoa aoꞌ.
"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 Leleꞌ doi nara basa ma, ndoe-laꞌas manaseliꞌ dai nusaꞌ naa, de ana o nasodꞌa toꞌa-taa nala seli.
"After he had spent everything there came a terrible famine in the land, and he began to be in want.
15 Boe ma neu sangga ues. Atahori sa sia nusaꞌ naa simbo e de denu e hani fafi nara.
"So he went and hired to one of the citizens of that land, who sent him out into the fields to feed swine.
16 Huu anaꞌ naa nda nabeꞌi ndondoen sa ena, de ana nae naa fafi ra nanaat na. Huu nda hambu atahori esa fee ne nanaat sa boe.
"And he was longing to be filled with the husks which the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
17 Dodꞌoo ma ana duꞌa neu-nema nae, ‘Sia ama ngga umen, basa atahori mana tao-ues ra hambu raa losa raꞌabꞌeta. Te au sia ia aeꞌ a mate ndoes ena.
"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 Malole lenaꞌ, au baliꞌ isiꞌ ama ngga. Fo ufadꞌe ae, “Amaꞌ! Au tao sala monaeꞌ ena neu Lamatuaꞌ ma amaꞌ boe.
"‘I will rise and go to my father, and say to him. "Father, I have sinned against Heaven and in your sight,
19 Au nda undandaa dadꞌi amaꞌ anan sa ena. Sadꞌi amaꞌ simbo au dadꞌi ate sia amaꞌ umen, o naa malole boe!’”
"‘"I am no more worthy to be called your son; only make me like one of your hired men."‘
20 Ana duꞌa nala taꞌo naa ma, fela de baliꞌ nisiꞌ aman umen. Feꞌe sia dodꞌooꞌ te toulasiꞌ a nita e, ma tudꞌa kasian mbali e. Ana onda mia umen de nela-nelaꞌ neu soru anan mana baliꞌ a. De ana holu ma idꞌu e.
"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 Boe ma anaꞌ a olaꞌ no aman nae, ‘Amaꞌ! Au tao sala monaeꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ ma amaꞌ. Au nda undandaa dadꞌi anam sa ena.’
"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 Te aman parenda tuteꞌ atahori mana tao ues nara nae, ‘Woi! Lailai, e! Mii haꞌi mendi badꞌu meulauꞌ seli a! fo fee ne pake. Olu ndeli neu lima uꞌun, ma sapatu neu ei nara.
"‘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 Mii lea mala sapi mbarunaꞌ naa fo tati, te hita tae feta-dote teu esa.
"‘Bring that fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry,
24 Huu ana ngga ia onaꞌ mana mateꞌ ena, te ia naa ana nasodꞌa baliꞌ ena. Ana mopo, te ia naa au hambu baliꞌ e ena.’ Olaꞌ basa taꞌo naa ma, ara feta-dꞌote boe.
"‘for this son of mine was dead and is alive again - he was lost and is found.’
25 Leleꞌ naa, ana uluꞌ a nese ume, huu ana neu tao ues sia osi rala. Leleꞌ ana baliꞌ ma, feꞌe sia dodꞌooꞌ te ana rena atahori raꞌaminaꞌ lii-liiꞌ ma lendo-foti.
"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 Boe ma ana noꞌe nala mana tao ues esa, de natane nae, ‘Woi! Tao rarameꞌ saa ia?’
"and he summoned one of the slaves, and began to inquire of him what all this meant.
27 Atahori mana tao ues a nataa nae, ‘Malangga odꞌi ma nema ena. Dadꞌi amaꞌ, denu tati sapi fo tao fefeta monaeꞌ, huu anan baliꞌ no sodꞌaꞌ.’
"‘Your brother is come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has him safe and sound.’
28 Rena taꞌo naa, ma ana uluꞌ a namanasa. Ana nda nau ume rala neu sa ena. Boe ma aman nema de kokoe e ume rala neu.
"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 Te ana namue nae, ‘Amaꞌ! Dꞌuꞌa sobꞌa dei! Dꞌoon basa ia au tao ues itaꞌ mamate ngga onaꞌ ate fee amaꞌ. Au nda ulena-langga neu amaꞌ hihii-nanaun sa. Onaꞌ naa o, amaꞌ nda feꞌe fee mita au hie anaꞌ esa fo tao fefetas umuhoꞌo o nonoo nggara sa boe.
"‘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 Tao-tao te amaꞌ ana mana ngganggari hata-hetoꞌ a, neu naꞌaminaꞌ no inaꞌ ra de nabasaꞌ amaꞌ dꞌoin. Ana baliꞌ nema ma, amaꞌ tati sapi malolen seli de tao fefeta monaeꞌ fee ne.’
"‘But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with harlots, you have killed him the fatted calf.’
31 Te aman nataa nae, ‘Ana susue ngge! Rena malolole! Leo mo au doo basa ia ena. Basa saa fo amaꞌ enan, naa ra o ho enam boe.
"‘My dear son,’ answered his father, ‘you are always with me and all that is mine is yours.
32 Te oras ia hita musi feta-dꞌote tamahoꞌo, huu odꞌim ia. Feꞌesaꞌan, onaꞌ ana mate ena, te ia naa nasodꞌa baliꞌ ena. Ana mopo ena, te ia naa hambu baliꞌ e ena.’”
"‘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.’"
