Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
Tamut cong kaminawk hoi kazae kaminawk loe a lok tahngai hanah anih khaeah angzoh o.
2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
To naah Farasinawk hoi ca tarik kaminawk mah, Hae kami loe kami zaenawk to kawk moe, nihcae hoi nawnto buh a caak, tiah laisaep o thuih.
3 He told them this parable:
To naah anih mah nihcae khaeah, hae patahhaih lok hae thuih pae,
4 “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
nangcae thung ih kami maeto mah tuu cumvaito tawnh, to thungah maeto anghmaa ving nahaeloe, qui takawt, takawtto tuunawk to praezaek ah caehtaak ueloe, kanghmaa maeto hnu ai karoek to pakrong mak ai maw?
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
A hnuk let naah loe, anghoehaih hoiah angmah ih palaeng nuiah a koeng.
6 When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’
Im ah a phak naah, ampuinawk hoi imtaeng kaminawk to nawnto a kawk moe, nihcae khaeah, Kanghmaa kaimah ih tuu to ka hnuk let boeh, anghoe o haih ah, tiah a naa.
7 I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
Kang thuih o, to baktih toengah dawnpakhuem kangaih ai kami qui takawt, takawtto pongah loe, dawnpakhuem kami zae maeto nuiah van ah anghoe o kue tih.
8 “Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
To tih ai boeh loe nongpata mah a tawnh ih phoisa dip hato thungah maeto tahmat ving nahaeloe, anih mah hmai paang ueloe, im to pahuih pacoengah, phoisa dip hnu ai karoek to kahoihah pakrong mak ai maw?
9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’
Anih mah phoisa to hnuk naah, angmah ih ampuinawk hoi imtaeng kaminawk to nawnto kawk moe, ka tahmat ih phoisa to ka hnuk boeh, anghoe o haih ah, tiah a naa.
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
To baktih toengah, Kang thuih o, Sithaw ih van kaminawk hmaa ah dawnpakhuem kazae kami maeto nuiah anghoehaih to oh, tiah a naa.
11 He said, “A certain man had two sons.
Anih mah, Kami maeto mah capa hnetto tawnh:
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
capa kanawk mah ampa khaeah, Pa, ka toep han koi qawk to na paek ah, tiah a naa. To pongah ampa mah nihnik hanah qawk to pazet pae.
13 Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
Akra ai ah a capa kanawk loe hmuennawk to lak boih moe, prae kangthla ah caeh; to prae ah a tawnh ih hmuennawk to kanawm acaeng haih boih.
14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
A tawnh ih hmuennawk to patoh boih pacoengah loe, to prae ah kanung parai takang to thoh; to naah anih loe amtanghaih mah kae.
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
Anih loe toksak hanah to ih prae kami maeto khaeah caeh; to kami mah anih to ok pacah hanah angmah ih lawk ah patoeh.
16 He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
Anih loe zok amthlam loiah ok mah caak ih canghum mataeng doeh caak han a khit: toe mi mah doeh buh to paek o ai.
17 But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!
To naah anih mah, Kam pa mah patoeh hanah pacae ih tamnanawk mah mataeng doeh nae laek caa laek ai ah caaknaek a tawnh o, kai loe zok kamthlam ah ka paqam tom boeh!
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
Kang thawk moe, kam pa khaeah ka caeh han, anih khaeah, Pa, van hoi na hmaa ah ka zae boeh,
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
na capa, tiah kawk han doeh kam cuk ai boeh: patoeh han na thlai ih tamna maeto baktiah na omsak ah, tiah ka naa han, tiah a poek.
20 “He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Anih loe angthawk moe, ampa khaeah caeh. Toe anih loklam kangthla ah oh naah, ampa mah anih to hnuk, to naah tahmenhaih tawnh pongah cawnh moe, anih to takop pacoengah, a mok.
21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
Capa mah ampa khaeah, Pa, van hoi na mikhnuk ah ka zae boeh, na capa ah kawk han doeh kam cuk ai boeh, tiah a naa.
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
Toe ampa mah a tamnanawk khaeah, Kahoih koek khukbuen to sin oh loe, anih to angkhuk o sak ah; a banpazung ah bantuek to abuen o sak ah loe, a khok ah khokpanai bum to abuen o sak ah:
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
kathawk maitaw to haeah hoi oh loe, bop oh; caa o si loe, nawm o si:
24 for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
hae ka capa loe duek boeh, toe a hing let; anih loe anghmat boeh, toe hnuk let boeh, tiah a naa. Nihcae mah nawmhaih poih to sak o.
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
To naah a capa kacoeh loe lawk ah oh: anih loe angzoh, im phak tom naah loe, katoeng tamoi tuen hoiah hnawhhaih loknawk to a thaih.
26 He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
Anih mah a tamna maeto kawk moe, haeah timaw sak o? tiah dueng.
27 He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
Tamna mah anih khaeah, Nam nawk amlaem let boeh, ngantui ta hoi ngancuem ah phak let boeh pongah, nam pa mah kathawk maitaw to boh pae, tiah a naa.
28 But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
A capa kacoeh loe palungphui pongah, imthung ah akun ai: to pongah ampa mah caeh moe, anih to pathloep.
29 But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
Anih mah ampa khaeah, Khenah, saning hae zetto thung na tok kang sak pae, natuek naah doeh na thuih ih lok to ka aek vai ai to mah, kam puinawk hoi kanawm poihsak hanah maeh caa maeto mataeng doeh nang paek ai:
30 But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
toe tangzat zaw kami hoiah nang ih hmuenmaenawk pasaeng boih, hae na capa angzoh naah loe, kathawk maitaw to na boh pae, tiah a naa.
31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
To naah ampa mah anih khaeah, Ka capa, nang loe kai khaeah na oh poe, ka tawnh ih hmuenmaenawk boih loe nang ih ni.
32 But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
Hae nam nawk loe duek boeh, toe a hing let; anih loe anghmat boeh, toe hnuk let boeh pongah, oephaih poih a sak o han oh, tiah a naa.
