Luka 15
1 Vat nanang sesun gandu nan gisin nanan kulapi wa dasu kitin yesu idin lanzughe.
Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him.
2 Afarsayawa nan nanang niyerte wa din gbulu idin belu natimene, “unit ulele din sesu aman kulapi amini din nlii nanghenu.”
And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Yesu benle nani tinankuguldo,
And he spoke to them this parable, saying:
4 “Ghari nanya mine, a wadi nin nakam akut likure ada dira kurum naye na aba sunu akut kutir nin kutir a doo mpiziru kurume nanya kushue se ase kuninba?
What man of you that hath an hundred sheep: and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which was lost, until he find it?
5 A wanin se kuning, na ama ti kunin nabandang a su ayi aboo ba.
And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing:
6 A wa saa kilari, a yicila adondong nan nanan kupoo mye, abelin nani, “Bunoni liburu liboo, bara nan nse Kukam nighe na kuna wulu.”
And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost?
7 Nbelin munu au nanere, liburi liboo ba yitu kitene kani bara unan kulapi warum ule na a suna kulapi mye, akatin anit akut kutir nin kutir ale na idi nanya kulapi mene.
I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.
8 Sa u yeme uwaniari na adi nin nikubu likure, firum wa wulughe, na aba ti ula limoo a kuu kutyye a piziru sey a see fi nin ba?
Or what woman having ten groats; if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?
9 A wa see, a yicila adondong nin naman kupoo mye a benle nani “buno ni liburi liboo bara nam see fikubunighe na fina wulu.”
And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost.
10 Nanere, mbelen minu, liburi liboo ba yitu nbun nnono kadura Kutelle uwarum nwa sun kulapi mye.”
So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.
11 Yesu moro, “Umong unit wadi nin nano niba, ubene nanya myene woron ncife,
And he said: A certain man had two sons:
12 'Ucif, nai unang ugadue,' a koso nani utamani mye vat.
And the younger of them said to his father: Father, give me the portion of substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his substance.
13 Ma itaa ayiri ba, ubene fita udun kan kipen piit, adi wultun vat imong ile na iwa nighe nan nadondong a hem.
And not many days after, the younger son, gathering all together, went abroad into a far country: and there wasted his substance, living riotously.
14 Na amala uwultune vat, kukpong kudindya deu nanyan mgene, anin cizina upiziru nimonli.
And after he had spent all, there came a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
15 Ado adi piziru katwa kitin kon kunang myenne, a naghe katwa libya na ledu.
And he went and cleaved to one of the citizens of that country. And he sent him into his farm to feed swine.
16 Aso nin nayiaboo adin lii nimonli naledu bara na umong naghe imonli ba.
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him.
17 Bara nani na kibinaiye nsa kidomomye, aworo, 'Acin ncef nighe amashinnari din lii imonli igutuzuna, mmile da sosin kikane kukpon ba moliia!
And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my father’s house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger?
18 Mba sunu kikane ndo kitin ncif ning, nning belinghe, “Ucif, nta kulapi nnang kitene, nin kiti fe.
I will arise, and will go to my father, and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee:
19 Na mbatin iyicilai usaun fe ba; tai nafo nkong kucin fe.”'
I am not worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 Usaun ubene nya udu kitin ncife, na awa doo piit, ucife yeneghe, anin lanzan nkunekune me, a taa ucum, adi gbindiringhe a luluu kukpan nuu me.
And rising up he came to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and running to him fell upon his neck, and kissed him.
21 Usaune woroghe, 'Ucif, nta kulapi kitene kani nin bun fe. Na mbatin i yicilai usaun fe ba.'
And the son said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, I am not now worthy to be called thy son.
22 Ucife woro na cinme, 'Daan nin nimoon icine, i shoonghe, i tighe ficancan, nin na kpatok nabunu me.
And the father said to his servants: Bring forth quickly the first robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23 Daan ning fina fi gbondilong ida boo fining. Na ti li tisu liburi liboo.
And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
24 Bara na usaunighe wa ku aminim nta luai. A wa wulu aminin saa.' Inin cizina liburi liboo.
Because this my son was dead, and is come to life again: was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 Usaun ukune wa di di kunen. Na a da susut kilare, alanza tigangang nan na lantung nin nyizinu.
Now his elder son was in the field, and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing:
26 Ayicila nkan kucin a tirino iyanghari nse kilare?
And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 Kucine woroghe, 'gwana fe nsa ucif fe uni boo fina fidya, bara na asaa ucine.'
And he said to him: Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe.
28 Ayi nana usaun ukune, a nari upiru kilare ucife nuzu, ada fooghe acara.
And he was angry, and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat him.
29 Bara nani usaun ukune kpana a woron ncife, 'Yene, mbgardang nakus ale na nta nin fi, na insa nanza fi kibinai ba, na usa nayi kagono kayin nboo nan na du nighe ba.
And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee, and I have never transgressed thy commandment, and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends:
30 bara na usaun fe nsaa, ule na ana di molu imon lisosin nan nawani ahem, umini nabooghe fina fidya.'
But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 Ucife woroghe, 'usaun ning, udi ligowe nin me vat ni mon ile na idi inan in fere.
But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me, and all I have is thine.
32 Bara nani ucaun ti su ayiaboo ti nyizin, bara na gwana fe wa ku, amini nta ulai nene: awa wulu aminin nsa.”
But it was fit that we should make merry and be glad, for this thy brother was dead and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found.
