Luhka 15
1 Mhmüp mat üng ngcawnklawk he la khyangka he ngthu ngai khai hea Jesuha veia lawki he.
Then drew near to him all the tax collectors and sinners to hear him.
2 Acunüng, Pharise he la thum ksing he naw, “Hin naw khyangka he jah ngkhawtpüi lü, ami veia buh ei hnga ve” tia, ami mkatei.
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Acunüng, Jesuh naw ami veia hina msuimcäpnak a pyen,
And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
4 “Nangmi üngka mat to a phya taki naw, mat a khyüh üng, msaihmua kawkip la kaw jah yawk hüt lü, khyüki am a hmuh bea küt üng am sui lü ve khai aw?
What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he loseth one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth it?
5 “Acunüng, a hmuh be üng jekyainak am a kphyengmcunga khana taihki naw,
And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 ima a pha be la a püi he la, a impei locenge jah khü lü, ami veia, ‘Ka to khyüki hmu be veng na jekyai lawpüi ua’ am ti khai aw?
And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 “Ka ning jah mthehki, acunkba bäa, ami ngjut vai am hlükia khyang ngsungpyun kawkip la kawa kthaka khyangka mat ngjutkia khana khankhawa jekyainak ve bawk khai.
I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance.
8 “Acunüng nghnumi mat naw nguikcang xa a tak, mat a mkhyüh üng, mei mdäiki naw, im phek lü, im avan üng am a hmuh bea küt üng am sui be lü ve khai aw?
Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loseth one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she findeth it?
9 “Acunüng, a hmuh be üng a püi he la a impei locenge jah khü lü, ‘Ka nguikcang khyüki hmu be veng, na jekyai lawpüi ua’ am ti khai aw?
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 “Ka ning jah mthehki, acunkba bäa, khyangka mat, a katnaka phäha ngjutkia khana Pamhnama khankhawngsä he jekyai bawk khai he ni” a ti.
Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11 Jesuh naw jah mtheh be lü, “Khyang mat naw cangpyang nghngih a canak,
And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 Anghmaw bawk naw a pa üng, ‘Ka pa aw, khawh ka bi vai na pea’ a ti. Acunüng ani pa naw khawh a jah kpai.
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided to them his living.
13 “Acunüng, sängsäng se anghmaw bawk cun, a khawh he jah jawi lü, a thuknaka khawa citki naw, acuia hlimtuinak üng ngui a va kpäkcaih bäih.
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 “Acunüng, a khawhthem a kpäkcaih bäih käna, acuna khaw üng aktäa khawjaw law se, a ei vai aktäa ng’yeng lawki.
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 “Acunüng, acuna khaw üngka, khyang mat va ngdawn si se, acun naw vawk mcah khaia a loa a tüih.
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 “Acunüng, vawk ei pi ei hlü leng leng khaia, a ei aktäa ngaihki. U naw i pi am pe u.
And he was longing to fill his belly with the husks that the swine ate: and no man gave to him.
17 “Acunüng, a ngsingei law kyu la, ‘Ka pa ima nghlawhkie naw pi am ami ei bäih vaia buh awmei khai se, kei hia ei cawi lü, thi law hlü veng,
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger!
18 “Tho lü, ka pa veia ka cit khai, a veia, ka pa aw, khankhawa Pamhnam la, nanga khana katnak pawh veng,
I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 na capa vaia am ngkawi ti veng, na veia nghlawhki mata kba na ngaia, ka ti khai,’ a ti.
And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 “Acunüng, tho law lü a pa veia citki. Acunüng athuknaka lama awm se, a pa naw a hmuh üng, aktäa m'yenei leng lengki naw, dawng si lü a nghngü üng kawi lü, aktäa a mhnam.
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 “Acunüng, a capa naw, ‘Ka pa aw, khankhawa Pamhnam la na khana katnak pawh veng, na capa vaia am ka ngkawiki ni’ a ti.
And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 “Cunsepi, a pa naw a m'ya he üng, ‘Jihnu akdaw säih lawpüi ngxit u lü, ngvuihsak ua, a kut üng kutcüp nak sak u lü, a khaw pha üng khawdawke jah ngcumsak ua,
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 “Semce akthaü kcang lawpüi u lü hnim u, hlimtuikia mi ei aw vai u,
And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 “Hina ka capa thiki xüng law beki, khyüki hmuh be ni’ a ti. Acunüng eiaw lawki he.
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 “Acunüng, a capa angvai bawk cun loa awmki, ima a pha law hlü be üng ami kcingbe la ami nglam ngja lü,
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 “M'ya mat khüki naw, ‘Ia ngkhaw he ni?’ ti lü a kthäh.
And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 “Acunüng, m'ya naw, ‘Na na, law be se phyawng yaikia a hmuh bea phäha, na pa naw semce akthaü kcang hnimki ni’ a ti.
And he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28 “Acunüng, angvai ngai cun a mlung thüi lü im k’uma am lut hlü se a pa naw lut law lü a nghuinak.
And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore his father came out, and entreated him.
29 “Cunsepi, ani naw, a pa üng, ‘Ngaia, kum hi vei tamna kba ning khüih lü, na ngthu am ka ngaihnak am ve, ka püi he am hlimtuinak ka pawheinak vaia, meca, mat hman pi am na na pe khawiki,
And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither have I at any time transgressed thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30 cunsepi, hina na capa, nghnumi kse hea veia, na khawhthem mdi hü bäihki, law be se, a hama semce akthaü na hnim peki’ ti lü a msang.
But as soon as this thy son had come, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 “Acunüng, a pa naw, ‘Ka capa aw, ka veia khawvei na awmki ni, ka tak avan cun na ka ni.
And he said to him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 “Na na, thiki xüng law beki, khyüki hmuh be ni, acunakyase, hlimtuinak la jekyainak am mi ve hlü ye se’ a ti,” ti lü a pyen.
It was right that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
