< Luke 15 >
1 Sûnkhat chu sumrusuongpungei mi tamtak le mi nunsiengei Jisua kôm chong rangâi rangin an honga.
Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2 Phariseengei le Balam minchupungeiin, “Hi mi hin, mi nunsiengei a modôma, munkhatin sâk khom an sâkpui ngâi,” tiin an chiera.
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Masikin, Jisua'n hi chongmintêk hih a rila.
And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
4 Nin kâra inkhatlam hin belri razakhat nei ungla, inkhat inmang senla imo a tho rang? Sômkuoleikuo hah sûla mâng a ta, ânmang hah aman mâka rok noni mo?
What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 A manin chu râisân takin a dâra hong ruputin a ina hongpui a tih.
And when he hath found [it], he layeth [it] on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 Hanchu a ruolngei, a bungmingei koitûp a ta, ke belri inmang ka man nôk zoia, ka râiasân. Masikin, râisânna mi tho pui roi tîng a tih.
And when he cometh home, he calleth together [his] friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 Ma anghan, nangni ki ril, mi sômkuoleikuo insîr nâng khâiloi ngei nêkin mi nunsie inkhat insîr sikin invâna râisânna a om uol ngâi.
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
8 Nupang inkhatin sumdâr sôm nei senla, inkhat minmang senla, imo tho ni? Châti mochokin a in phiet a ta, a man nôk mâka takintâi takin rok a tih.
Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find [it]?
9 A man nôkin chu a chamnungei le a bungmingei koitûp a ta, an kôma, ku sumdâr minmang ka man nôk zoi ka râiasân, râisânna mi thopui roi tîng a tih.
And when she hath found [it], she calleth [her] friends and [her] neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
10 Nangni ki ril, ma anghan mi nunsie inkhat insîr sikin Pathien vântîrtonngei an râiasân ngâi.
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11 Jisua'n, “Mi inkhatin nâipasal inik a neia;
And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 nâipang uolin a pa kôma, ‘O, pa rochon ka chang rangtum chu atûn mi pêk ta roh,’ a tia. Hanchu, a rochon hah a nâingei an ruonin a sem pe ngeia.
And the younger of them said to [his] father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth [to me]. And he divided unto them [his] living.
13 A nâipang uol han, sûntomte suole chu a changtum murdi a juora a lâk rieia. Hanchu a in mâkin ram lataka a sea, nuomninga omin a sum a hekpe zoia.
And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14 Hanchu, a sum a hekpe suole chu, ha rama han mâitâm achula, ite sâk rang nei khâi maka.
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 Hanchu, ha rama mi inkhat ava pana, ama han a vokngei enkol rangin a loia a tîra.
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 Vokngei sâk ngâi bê hôkngei sâk rangin a ôi zoia, ania, tutên ama a sâk rang pêk mak ngeia.”
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17 “Nangkana, a honng inrietsuok le chu, ‘Ka pa ina inlo mingei bu nêk zoiloi pêna a nei intam tia laka, kei lakate hin vonchâmin ki thi rang na!
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 Inthoi ka ta ka pa kôma se nôk ki tih, a kôma, O pa, Pathien chunga le nangma chunga ku nunsie zoi.
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 Na nâia be rangin luo chuk khâi mu-ung, no kôma inlo mi inkhat angin mi be ta roh,’ tîng ki tih,” a tia.
And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 “Hanchu ânthoia, a pa kôma a se zoia. Lâtaka a la om lâiin a pa'n a lei mua, lungkham amu oka, a tâna, a kola, a tuma.
And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 Hanchu, ‘O pa, Pathien chunga le nangma chunga, ku nunsie zoi, na nâia be rangin chuk khâi mu-ung,’ a tia.
And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 Hannisenla a pa'n, a suokngei kôma, Innot takin rovo satak min hak roi, a kutruola kutsabi minbun ungla, a kea kekok minbun roi.
But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put [it] on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on [his] feet:
23 Serat tuoi sa tak that ungla, râisânna ruolhoi sâk ei tih.
And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill [it]; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 Hi ka nâipasal hih, a thia ân thoinôk ani; ânmanga man nôk ani,” a tia. Hanchu râisânna ruolhoi an phut zoi.
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 Hanchu a nâi ulien uolpu chu loia a oma, in a hongtung rangin chu, berlem miring le lâm rahang a rieta,
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
26 Hanchu tîrlâm inkhat a koia, Imo ani zoi? tiin a rekela.
And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 Hanchu, a kôma, “Na nâipa a hongkîr nôka, nin pa'n a ring a dama amu nôk sikin râisânnân serat tuoi thâitak a thata, ruolhoi a tho ani,” a tipea.
And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28 Hanchu, a ulienpa chu a taksi sabaka, ina khom lût nuom khâi maka, hanchu a pa a hongsuoka, a methêma.
And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
29 Ania a pa kôma, “En roh, hi ten kum hih nata rangin tîrlâm sinin ki sina, no chong khom jôm loiin om ngâi mu-ung. Ania imo mini pêk ngâia? Ka malngei leh ruolhoi thona rangin, kêlte luo mi pêk ngâi mak che.
And he answering said to [his] father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30 Hannisenla, hi na nâi norchon notizuorngei kôma ânchêk suole a hongkîr nôkin chu, serat tuoi thâitak na thatpui,” a tia.
But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 A pân a kôma, “ka nâipasal ko kôma omtit kêng nini, ki nei murdi hih nata kêng.
And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 Ania, râisâna ei mang rang kêng ani, na nâipa hih a thia a ring nôk kêng ani, ânmanga ei man nôk ani sikin,” a tipea.
It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
