Luka 15
1 Tamut cong kaminawk hoi kazae kaminawk loe a lok tahngai hanah anih khaeah angzoh o.
But all the tax-collectors and the sinners were, unto him, drawing near, to be hearkening unto him;
2 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.
and both the Pharisees and the Scribes were murmuring, saying, This man, unto sinners, giveth welcome, and eateth with them.
3 To naah anih mah nihcae khaeah, hae patahhaih lok hae thuih pae,
And he spake unto them this parable, saying—
4 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?
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 hnuk let naah loe, anghoehaih hoiah angmah ih palaeng nuiah a koeng.
And, finding it, he layeth it upon his shoulders, rejoicing;
6 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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 To baktih toengah, Kang thuih o, Sithaw ih van kaminawk hmaa ah dawnpakhuem kazae kami maeto nuiah anghoehaih to oh, tiah a naa.
Thus, I say unto you, there ariseth joy in presence of the messengers of God, over one sinner repenting.
11 Anih mah, Kami maeto mah capa hnetto tawnh:
And he said—A certain man, had two sons.
12 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.
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 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.
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 A tawnh ih hmuennawk to patoh boih pacoengah loe, to prae ah kanung parai takang to thoh; to naah anih loe amtanghaih mah kae.
And, when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine throughout that country, —and, he, began to be in want.
15 Anih loe toksak hanah to ih prae kami maeto khaeah caeh; to kami mah anih to ok pacah hanah angmah ih lawk ah patoeh.
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 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.
And he used to long to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and, no man, was giving unto him.
17 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!
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 Kang thawk moe, kam pa khaeah ka caeh han, anih khaeah, Pa, van hoi na hmaa ah ka zae boeh,
I will arise, and go unto my father, and will say unto him—Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee:
19 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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:
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 kathawk maitaw to haeah hoi oh loe, bop oh; caa o si loe, nawm o si:
And be bringing the fatted calf, sacrifice! and let us eat and make merry:
24 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.
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 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.
But his elder son was in a field; and, as, in coming, he drew near unto the house, he heard music and dancing, —
26 Anih mah a tamna maeto kawk moe, haeah timaw sak o? tiah dueng.
and, calling near one of the youths, he inquired what these things, could be.
27 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.
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 A capa kacoeh loe palungphui pongah, imthung ah akun ai: to pongah ampa mah caeh moe, anih to pathloep.
But he was provoked to anger, and would not go in. And, his father, coming out, began to entreat him.
29 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:
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 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.
But, when, this thy son, who had devoured thy living with harlots, came, thou didst sacrifice, for him, the fatted calf;
31 To naah ampa mah anih khaeah, Ka capa, nang loe kai khaeah na oh poe, ka tawnh ih hmuenmaenawk boih loe nang ih ni.
But, he, said unto him—Child! thou, always, art, with me, and, all that is mine, is, thine;
32 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.
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.
