Luka 15
1 A om uh vaengah mangmucoi rhoek neh hlangtholh rhoek loh anih taengah hnatun ham boeih a paan uh.
Then resorted vnto him all the Publicanes and sinners, to heare him.
2 Te vaengah Pharisee rhoek neh cadaek rhoek te cai uh tih, “Anih loh hlangtholh rhoek a doe tih amih taengah a caak,” a ti uh.
Therefore the Pharises and Scribes murmured, saying, Hee receiueth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Te dongah hekah nuettahnah he amih ham a thui pa tih,
Then spake hee this parable to them, saying,
4 “Nangmih khuikah mebang hlang khaw tu yakhat a khueh vetih te khui lamkah loh pakhat te poci koinih, sawmko pako te khosoek ah a hnoo tih a hmuh duela aka poci te a hnuk ah a hlak moenih a?
What man of you hauing an hundreth sheepe, if hee lose one of them, doeth not leaue ninetie and nine in the wildernesse, and goe after that which is lost, vntill he finde it?
5 A hmuh vaengah khaw a laengpang dongah a tloeng tih omngaih ta.
And when he hath found it, he laieth it on his shoulders with ioye.
6 Im la a pawk vaengah khaw a paya rhoek neh imben rhoek te a hueh tih, ‘Kamah taengah omngaih uh, ka tu aka poci te ka hmuh coeng,’ a ti.
And when he commeth home, he calleth together his friendes and neighbours, saying vnto them, Reioyce with mee: for I haue founde my sheepe which was lost.
7 Te vanbangla nangmih taengah ka thui. Yutnah aka ngoe pawh hlang dueng sawmko pako so lakah aka yut hlangtholh pakhat soah ni vaan ah omngaihnah a om eh.”
I say vnto you, that likewise ioy shall be in heauen for one sinner that conuerteth, more then for ninetie and nine iust men, which neede none amendment of life.
8 “Huta loh tangkanuei lung rha te a khueh. Tangkanuei pakhat te a hlong atah, hmaiim te a tok phoeiah im te a nawt, a hmuh pawt atah khaelh khaelh a tlap.
Either what woman hauing ten groates, if she lose one groate, doth not light a candle, and sweepe the house, and seeke diligently till shee finde it?
9 A hmuh daengah, a paya rhoek neh imben rhoek te a hueh tih, ‘Tangkanuei ka poci sak te ka hmuh dongah kamah taengah omngaih uh,’ a ti pueng.
And when shee hath found it, shee calleth her friendes, and neighbours, saying, Reioyce with me: for I haue found the groate which I had lost.
10 Te vanbangla nangmih taengah kan thui. Hlangtholh pakhat a yut soah ni Pathen kah puencawn rhoek hmaiah omngaihnah a om,” a ti nah.
Likewise I say vnto you, there is ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, for one sinner that conuerteth.
11 Te phoeiah, “Hlang pakhat loh capa panit a khueh.
He sayde moreouer, A certaine man had two sonnes.
12 Amih rhoi khuiah a noe loh a napa te, ‘A pa, koe a kaekvang na hmoel te kamah m'pae laeh,’ a ti nah. Te dongah a napa loh amih rhoi ham khosaknah te a tael pah.
And the yonger of them sayde to his father, Father, giue mee the portion of the goods that falleth to mee. So he deuided vnto them his substance.
13 Tedae khohnin muep a koe kolla boeih aka kool a capa a noe tah kho hla la yiin. Te phoeiah a koe te pahoi a poek tih cungpoeh cungdam la hing.
So not many daies after, when the yonger sonne had gathered all together, hee tooke his iourney into a farre countrey, and there hee wasted his goods with riotous liuing.
14 Boeih a hnonah phoeiah tah te rhoek pingpang ah khokha loh muep a pai thil tih anih khaw vawt tangkhuet.
Nowe when hee had spent all, there arose a great dearth throughout that land, and he began to be in necessitie.
15 Te dongah te pingpang kah pilnam pakhat taengah cet tih kap. Te vaengah anih te ok vuelh ham lohma la a tueih.
Then hee went and claue to a citizen of that conntrey, and hee sent him to his farme, to feede swine.
16 Te vaengah ok loh a caak canghlam koi te caak ham a hue dae anih te pae uh pawh.
And hee would faine haue filled his bellie with the huskes, that the swine ate: but no man gaue them him.
17 Te daengah amah te a cueih koep om tih, ‘A pa kah kutcoep rhoek te yet pataeng buh a coih sak uh dae kai tah khokha neh ka poci pahoi coeng.
Then he came to him selfe, and said, Howe many hired seruaunts at my fathers haue bread ynough, and I die for hunger?
18 Ka thoo vetih a pa taengla ka cet pawn ni. Amah taengah, “A pa, vaan neh nang hmaiah ka tholh coeng.
I wil rise and goe to my father, and say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heaue, and before thee,
19 Na ca la khue ham khaw a koihvaih la ka om moenih, kai he na kutcoep pakhat la ng'khueh,” ka ti nah ni,’ a ti.
And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants.
20 Te dongah thoo tih a napa te a paan. Tedae a hla la a om vaengah a napa loh a hmuh tih a thinphat. Te dongah yong tih a rhawn ah a kop tih a mok.
So hee arose and came to his father, and when hee was yet a great way off, his father sawe him, and had compassion, and ranne and fell on his necke, and kissed him.
21 Te vaengah a capa loh, ‘A pa, vaan neh namah hmaiah ka tholh coeng, na ca la khue ham khaw ka a koihvaih la ka om moenih,’ a ti nah.
And the sonne sayde vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen, and before thee, and am no more worthie to be called thy sonne.
22 Tedae a napa loh a sal rhoek te, ‘Hnikul tanglue te a loe la hang khuen uh lamtah anih he bai sak uh. A kut dongah kutbuen, a kho dongah khokhom buen sak uh.
Then the father said to his seruaunts, Bring foorth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feete,
23 Vaito puetsuet te han khuen uh, te te ngawn uh. Te phoeiah uum uh sih lamtah ca uh sih.
And bring the fat calfe, and kill him, and let vs eate, and be merie:
24 Ka ca a duek la aka om he koep hing, aka poci la om dae koep a phoe coeng dongah pahoi uum sih,’ a ti nah.
For this my sonne was dead, and is aliue againe: and he was lost, but he is found. And they began to be merie.
25 Te vaengah lohma ah aka om a capa a ham te, im vat ham pha tih toembael neh a lam uh te a yaak.
Nowe the elder brother was in the fielde, and when he came and drewe neere to the house, he heard melodie, and dauncing,
26 Te dongah camoe pakhat a khue tih tekah hno aka om te a dawt.
And called one of his seruaunts, and asked what those things meant.
27 Te long te anih taengah, ‘Na mana te ha pawk coeng. Te dongah na pa loh vaito puetsuet te a ngawn tih anih te sading la a doe,’ a ti nah.”
And hee sayde vnto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatte calfe, because he hath receiued him safe and sound.
28 “Te dongah kosi a hong tih kun ham ngaih pawh. Tedae a napa tah cet tih anih te a hloep.
Then he was angry, and would not goe in: therefore came his father out and entreated him.
29 Tedae a napa te a doo tih, ‘Kum, he yet na taengah sal ka bi tih na olpaek ka poe moenih he. Tedae kai ham tah ka paya neh uum hamla maae pataeng nan paek moenih.
But he answered and said to his father, Loe, these many yeeres haue I done thee seruice, neither brake I at any time thy commadement, and yet thou neuer gauest mee a kidde that I might make merie with my friends.
30 Tedae hlanghalh rhoek neh na khosaknah aka yoop na capa tah ha pawk vaengah, vaito puetsuet te anih ham na ngawn pah,’ a ti nah.”
But when this thy sonne was come, which hath deuoured thy good with harlots, thou hast for his sake killed the fat calfe.
31 “Tedae a napa loh amah te, ‘Camoe aw, nang tah kai taengah rhawp na om tih, kai koe boeih he nang hut coeng ni.
And he said vnto him, Sonne, thou art euer with me, and al that I haue, is thine.
32 Tedae uum vaengah khaw omngaih ham a kuek ta. Na mana tah aka duek la om coeng dae ha hing koep, poci coeng dae koep ha phoe,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
It was meete that we shoulde make merie, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is aliue againe: and hee was lost, but he is found.
