Luka 15
1 A om uh vaengah mangmucoi rhoek neh hlangtholh rhoek loh anih taengah hnatun ham boeih a paan uh.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were approaching him to hear 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.
And the Pharisees and the scholars murmured, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them.
3 Te dongah hekah nuettahnah he amih ham a thui pa tih,
And he spoke 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, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go for that which was lost until he finds it?
5 A hmuh vaengah khaw a laengpang dongah a tloeng tih omngaih ta.
And when he finds it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
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 tii.
And when he comes to the house, he calls together his men friends and his men neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that 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 to you, that thus there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of repentance.
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.
Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she finds 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 she has found it, she calls together her lady friends and lady neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, because I found the drachma that I 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.
Thus I say to you, there becomes joy in the presence of the agents of God over one sinner who repents.
11 Te phoeiah, “Hlang pakhat loh capa panit a khueh.
And he said, A certain man had two sons,
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 younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his living.
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.
And not many days after, the younger son, having gathered all together, journeyed into a distant country, and there he squandered his wealth living recklessly.
14 Boeih a hnonah phoeiah tah te rhoek pingpang ah khokha loh muep a pai thil tih, anih khaw vawt tangkhuet.
And when he spent all, a mighty famine developed in that country, and he began to be in want.
15 Te dongah te pingpang kah pilnam pakhat taengah cet tih kap. Te vaengah anih te ok vuelh ham lohma la a tueih.
And having gone, he was joined to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 Te vaengah ok loh a caak canghlam koi te caak ham a hue dae anih te pae uh pawh.
And he longed to fill his belly from the husks that the swine ate, and no man gave to 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.
But when he came to himself, he said, How many hired men of my father's have abundance of loaves, but I am perishing with hunger.
18 Ka thoo vetih a pa taengla ka cet pawn ni. Amah taengah, 'A pa, vaan neh nang hmaiah ka tholh coeng.
After rising, I will go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight.
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.
I am no more worthy to be called thy son. Make me as one of thy hired men.
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.
And having risen, he went to his father. But while he was still distant, afar off, his father saw him and felt compassion. And having ran, he fell on his neck, and kissed him much.
21 Te vaengah a capa loh, 'A pa, vaan neh namah hmaiah ka tholh coeng, na ca la khue ham khaw a koihvaih la ka om moenih,’ a ti nah.
And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight. I am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 Tedae a napa loh a sal rhoek te, 'Hnikul tanglue te a loe ham khaw a khuen uh lamtah anih he bai sakuh. A kut dongah kutbuen, a kho dongah khokhom buen sak uh.
But the father said to his bondmen, Bring forth the best robe and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and shoes for his feet.
23 Vaito puetsuet te han khuen uh, te te ngawnuh. Te phoeiah uum uh sih lamtah ca uh sih.
And having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we will be cheerful,
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.
because this my son was dead, and became alive again. And he was lost, and is found. And they began to be cheerful.
25 Te vaengah lohma ah aka om a capa a ham te, im vat ham pha tih toembael neh a laam uh te a yaak.
But his elder son was in a field. And while coming, having approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Te dongah camoe pakhat a khue tih tekah hno akam om te a dawt.
And having summoned one of the boys, he inquired what these things might be.
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 he said to him, Thy brother arrived, and thy father has killed the fatted calf, because he received him back healthy.
28 Te dongah kosi a hong tih kun ham ngaih pawh. Tedae a napa tah cet tih anih te a hloep.
But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore, his father having come out, he called him.
29 Tedae a napa te a doo tih, 'Kum, heyet 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 having answered, he said to his father, Lo, so many years do I serve thee, and I never passed by a commandment of thine, and yet thou never gave me a goat that I might be merry 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 son came, who has devoured thy living with harlots, thou killed for him the fatted calf.
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 to him, Child, thou are always with me, and all my things are yours.
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.
But it was needful to make merry and be glad, because this thy brother was dead, and became alive again, and was lost, and was found.
