Luk 15
1 Tamuk kacawngnaw hoi tamikayonnaw ni Bawipa e cangkhainae thai hanelah ama koe a tho awh.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
2 Farasi hoi cakathutkungnaw niyah hete tami teh tamikayonnaw hoi rei a o, ahnimouh hoi cungtalah bu rei a ca telah yon a pen awh.
The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
3 Hatnavah bangnuenae lawk a dei e teh nangmouh dawk tami buetbuet touh ni tu cum touh a tawn.
He told them this parable:
4 Hotnaw thung dawk e tu buet touh kahmat pawiteh 99 touh e tunaw hah kahrawngum a ta vaiteh kahmat e tu buet touh a hmu hoeh roukrak a cei teh tawng laipalah ao han maw.
“Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
5 A hmu torei teh a lunghawi teh a loung dawk a thueng teh,
When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 im a pha torei teh a huikonaw hoi a imrinaw a kaw teh kahmat e tu bout ka hmu toe, cungtalah konawm khai awh haw telah a dei han.
When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’
7 Hot patetlah pankângai han ka tawn hoeh e tami 99 touh hlakvah pankângai e tamikayon buet touh koe kalvan vah a lunghawinae bet ao hnawn telah a ti.
I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
8 Hottelah napui buet touh ni phoisa phek hra touh a tawn. Phek touh kahmat pawiteh hmai paang vaiteh a hmu hoeh roukrak imthungkhu imka pâthoun vaiteh kahawicalah tawng laipalah ao han maw.
“Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
9 A hmu torei teh a huikonaw hoi imrinaw a kaw vaiteh kahmat e phoisa bout ka hmu toe, cungtalah konawm khai awh haw telah ati han.
When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’
10 Hot patetvanlah, Cathut e kalvantaminaw ni pankângai e tamikayon buet touh dawkvah lunghawinae a tawn awh, telah atipouh.
Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
11 Bout a dei e teh tami buet touh ni ca tongpa kahni touh a tawn,
He said, “A certain man had two sons.
12 A ca cahnoung ni a na pa koe a cei teh apa, ka hmu hane kawi râw na kapek pouh leih telah a kâhei teh a na pa ni hnopainaw pueng a kapek teh a poe.
The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
13 Hathnukkhu hoi a ca cahnoung ni amae hnopainaw pueng a la teh kahlatpoung e ram dawk a cei teh hote ram dawkvah talai nawmnae dawk a ngai patetlah kho a sak teh hnopainaw pueng koung a kaseikasak.
Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and travelled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
14 A tawn e hnopai koung a pâbaw hnukkhu hote ram dawk takang puenghoi a tho teh puenghoi roedengnae koe a pha.
When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
15 Hatdawkvah hote ram dawk tami buet touh koe o hanelah a cei teh hote tami ni vok ring hanelah a patoun.
He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16 Ahni teh vok rawca patenghai ca hane ngai totouh a vonhlam, hatei apinihai rawca banghai poe awh hoeh.
He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
17 Hatnavah a lung vuk a ang teh apa im vah aphu hmu hanelah hoi a ta e a sannaw ni boeba hai cat laipalah ca hane a tawn, kai teh hivah vonhlam hoi ka o.
But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!
18 Ka thaw vaiteh apa koe ka cei han. Apa, kai ni kalvan hoi na hmaitung vah ka yon toe.
I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
19 Na ca ti hanelah ka kamcu hoeh. Na san buet touh lah o hanelah na tat lawih ka ti han a ti.
I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
20 Hatdawkvah, a na pa koe ban hanelah a kamthaw. Lam ahlapoungnae koe a tho e a na pa ni a hmu navah a pahren dawk a yawng sin teh a takawi teh a paco.
“He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 A capa ni vah a Pa kalvan koe thoseh, na hmaitung thoseh, ka yon toe. Na ca ti han ka kamcu hoeh toe telah a ti.
The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 A na pa ni vah aphu kaawm poung e angki lat nateh kho sak awh, a kut dawk kuthrawt buen sak awh.
“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
23 Khokkhawm hai khawm sak awh, hahoi Maito ca kathâwpoung e lat nateh thet awh, kanawm poung lah pawi sak awh sei.
Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
24 Bangkongtetpawiteh ka capa teh a due toe, hatei atu bout a hring. A kahma, hateiteh atu bout ka hmu toe ati. Hottelah hoi pawi teh a kamtawng awh.
for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
25 A capa kacue ni law hoi a ban teh im teng a pha navah ratoung tamawi lawk hoi lamtu e a thai.
“Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 A san buet touh a kaw teh bangmaw na sak awh, telah a pacei.
He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
27 A san ni vah na nawngha ka dam lahoi im bout a tho dawkvah, na pa ni maito ca kathâw e a thei pouh telah atipouh. A capa kacue e teh a lungphuen teh im dawkvah kâen laipalah ao.
He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
28 A na pa ni capa kacue koe a cei teh kâen leih telah a pasawt.
But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
29 A capa kacue ni hai kai ni atueng moi kasawlah apa, nange san patetlah thaw ka tawk, vai touh boehai nange kâpoelawk ka tapoe hoeh. Hateiteh kai ni ka huinaw hoi cungtalah nawmnae sak hanelah hmae boehai na poe hoeh.
But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
30 Ka kâyawt e napuinaw hoi kaawm ni teh na hnopai kaseikasak e na ca cahnoung, im bout a pha torei teh maito ca kathâw kathâw na thei pouh telah a ti.
But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
31 A na pa ni, ka ca nang teh ka im vah yungyoe na o teh ka tawn e hnopueng nange hno lah ao.
“He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
32 Hatei na nawngha teh a due eiteh, atu bout a hring. A kahma eiteh atu bout hmu toe. Hatdawkvah lunghawi khai hane roeroe lah ao telah a na pa ni atipouh.
But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
