Luka 15
1 Vat nanang sesun gandu nan gisin nanan kulapi wa dasu kitin yesu idin lanzughe.
But all the tax-collectors and the sinners were, unto him, drawing near, to be hearkening unto him;
2 Afarsayawa nan nanang niyerte wa din gbulu idin belu natimene, “unit ulele din sesu aman kulapi amini din nlii nanghenu.”
and both the Pharisees and the Scribes were murmuring, saying, This man, unto sinners, giveth welcome, and eateth with them.
3 Yesu benle nani tinankuguldo,
And he spake unto 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 from among you, having a hundred sheep, and losing, from among them, one, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go his way after the lost one, until he find it?
5 A wanin se kuning, na ama ti kunin nabandang a su ayi aboo ba.
And, finding it, he layeth 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 unto his house, calleth together the friends and the neighbours, saying unto 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 unto you—Thus, joy in heaven, will there be, over one sinner repenting, rather than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who indeed have, no need, of repentance.
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 pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully, 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, having found it, she calleth together her female friends and neighbours, saying—Rejoice with me! because I have found the piece of silver which I had lost.
10 Nanere, mbelen minu, liburi liboo ba yitu nbun nnono kadura Kutelle uwarum nwa sun kulapi mye.”
Thus, I say unto you, there ariseth joy in presence of the messengers of God, over one sinner repenting.
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 unto the father—Father! give me the share that falleth to me, of what there is. And, he, divided unto them the living.
13 Ma itaa ayiri ba, ubene fita udun kan kipen piit, adi wultun vat imong ile na iwa nighe nan nadondong a hem.
And, after not many days, the younger son, gathering all together, left home for a country far away, and, there, squandered his substance with riotous living.
14 Na amala uwultune vat, kukpong kudindya deu nanyan mgene, anin cizina upiziru nimonli.
And, when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine throughout 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 his way, and joined himself unto one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to be feeding swine.
16 Aso nin nayiaboo adin lii nimonli naledu bara na umong naghe imonli ba.
And he used to long to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and, no man, was giving 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!
But coming, to himself, he said—How many hired servants of my father, have bread enough and to spare, whereas, I, with famine, here, am perishing!
18 Mba sunu kikane ndo kitin ncif ning, nning belinghe, “Ucif, nta kulapi nnang kitene, nin kiti fe.
I will arise, and go unto my father, and will say unto him—Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee:
19 Na mbatin iyicilai usaun fe ba; tai nafo nkong kucin fe.”'
No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, —Make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came unto his own father.
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.
Now, while yet he was holding afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and, running, fell upon his neck, and tenderly kissed him.
21 Usaune woroghe, 'Ucif, nta kulapi kitene kani nin bun fe. Na mbatin i yicilai usaun fe ba.'
And the son said unto him—Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee: No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, —[make me as one of thy hired servants.]
22 Ucife woro na cinme, 'Daan nin nimoon icine, i shoonghe, i tighe ficancan, nin na kpatok nabunu me.
But the father said unto his servants—Quick! bring forth a robe—the best! and put on him, and get out a ring for his hand, and sandals for his feet.
23 Daan ning fina fi gbondilong ida boo fining. Na ti li tisu liburi liboo.
And be bringing the fatted calf, sacrifice! 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 hath come to life again, was lost, and is found. And they began to be making merry.
25 Usaun ukune wa di di kunen. Na a da susut kilare, alanza tigangang nan na lantung nin nyizinu.
But his elder son was in a field; and, as, in coming, he drew near unto the house, he heard music and dancing, —
26 Ayicila nkan kucin a tirino iyanghari nse kilare?
and, calling near one of the youths, he inquired what these things, could be.
27 Kucine woroghe, 'gwana fe nsa ucif fe uni boo fina fidya, bara na asaa ucine.'
And, he, said unto him, —Thy brother, hath come, and thy father hath sacrificed the fatted calf, because, safe and sound, hath he received him back.
28 Ayi nana usaun ukune, a nari upiru kilare ucife nuzu, ada fooghe acara.
But he was provoked to anger, and would not go in. And, his father, 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.
But, he, answering said unto his father—Lo! so many years as these, do I serve thee, and, at no time, a commandment of thine, have I transgressed, —And, unto me, at no time, hast thou given a kid, that, with my friends, I might make merry;
30 bara na usaun fe nsaa, ule na ana di molu imon lisosin nan nawani ahem, umini nabooghe fina fidya.'
But, when, this thy son, who had devoured thy living with harlots, came, thou didst sacrifice, 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 unto him—Child! thou, always, art, with me, and, all that is mine, 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, to make merry and rejoice, there was need, because, this thy brother—was, dead, and hath come to life again, and was lost, and is found.
