Luke 15
1 Now all the tax-farmers and sinners came near to give ear to him.
Issi gallas qaraxa qanxeyssatinne nagaranchchoti Yesuusa timirttiya si7anaw iya yuushuwan shiiqidosona.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes were angry, saying, This man gives approval to sinners, and takes food with them.
Shin Farisaawetinne higge asttamaareti, “Hayssi uray nagaranchchota shiishidi ekkees, enttara issife mees” yaagidi zuuzummidosona.
3 And he made a story for them, saying,
Yesuusi yaagidi hayssa leemiso enttaw odis;
4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if one of them gets loose and goes away, will not let the ninety-nine be in the waste land by themselves, and go after the wandering one, till he sees where it is?
“Hintte giddofe issuwas xeetu dorssati de7iyabaa gidikko enttafe issoy dhayikko uddufun tammanne uddufunata bazzon aggidi dhayoyssa demmana gakkanaw koyonnay oonee?
5 And when he has got it again, he takes it in his arms with joy.
Demmida wode ufayttidi ba gannan tookkidi,
6 And when he gets back to his house, he sends for his neighbours and friends, saying to them, Be glad with me, for I have got back my sheep which had gone away.
ba soo simmees. Ba laggettanne shoorota issife xeegidi, ‘Dhayida ta dorssaa demmas, taara issife ufayttite’ yaagees.
7 I say to you that even so there will be more joy in heaven when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing, than for ninety-nine good men, who have no need of a change of heart.
Hessadakka, maaroti koshshonna uddufun tammanne uddufun xillotappe aathidi maarotan geliya issi nagaranchchuwa gaason salon gita ufayssi gidees.
8 Or what woman, having ten bits of silver, if one bit has gone from her hands, will not get a light, and go through her house, searching with care till she sees it?
“Woykko tammu biri de7iya issi maccasiya tammaafe issiya dhayikko demmana gakkanaw xomppe oythada keethaa pittada mintha koyonnara oonee?
9 And when she has it again, she gets her friends and neighbours together, saying, Be glad with me, for I have got back the bit of silver which had gone from me.
Demmida wode ba laggettanne ba shoorota xeegada ‘Dhayida ta issi bira demmida gisho taara wolla ufayttite’ yaagawusu.
10 Even so, I say to you, There is joy among the angels of God, when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing.
Si7ite, hessa mela issi maarotethan geliya nagaranchchuwan Xoossaa kiitanchchota sinthan ufayssi gidees” yaagis.
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Zaaridi Yesuusi, “Issi uraas nam77u nayti de7oosona.
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me that part of your property which will be mine. And he made division of his goods between them.
Enttafe kaalo na7ay ba aawakko, ‘Ta aawaw, ne shaluwappe ta gishuwa taw imma’ yaagis. Aaway ba shaluwa ba naytas shaakkis.
13 And not long after, the younger son got together everything which was his and took a journey into a far-away country, and there all his money went in foolish living.
Guutha gallasappe guye kaalo na7ay ba gishuwa ubbaa qachchi ekkidi haaho biitta bis. Yan alttacan shaluwa toochchidi onggis.
14 And when everything was gone, there was no food to be had in that country, and he was in need.
I baw de7iyaba ubbaa wurssidaappe guye he biitta ubban mino koshi keyin metootis.
15 And he went and put himself into the hands of one of the people of that country, and he sent him into his fields to give the pigs their food.
Hessa gisho, he biittaa asaappe issuwa soo gaata gelis. Uray iya guduntho heemmana mela ba moothaa yeddis.
16 And so great was his need that he would have been glad to take the pigs' food, and no one gave him anything.
Gudunthoti miya harquwafe maanaw amottis, shin iyokka iyaw immiya asi benttibeenna.
17 But when he came to his senses, he said, What numbers of my father's servants have bread enough, and more, while I am near to death here through need of food!
Wozani simmin, ‘Aappun ta aawa aylletas kathi wora wodhdhin ta hayssan koshara hayqqanaw gakkadina?’
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes:
Denddada ta aawakko bada, ‘Ta aawaw, salon Xoossaa, sa7an nena qohas.
19 I am no longer good enough to be named your son: make me like one of your servants.
Hizappe ne na7a geetettada xeegettanaw taw bessonna gisho, ne son de7iya aylletappe issuwada tana payda’ yaagana” yaagis.
20 And he got up and went to his father. But while he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with pity for him and went quickly and took him in his arms and gave him a kiss.
Hessa gisho, denddidi ba aawakko bis. “Hanoshin, I buroo haahon de7ishin aaway qadhettidi, iyaakko woxxi bidi idimmidi yeeris.
21 And his son said to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes: I am no longer good enough to be named your son.
Na7aykka, ‘Ta aawaw salon Xoossaa, sa7an nena ta qohas. Hizappe ne na7a geetettada xeegettanaw bessike’ yaagis.
22 But the father said to his servants, Get out the first robe quickly, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet:
“Iya aaway aylleta xeegidi, ‘Ellesidi ubbaafe lo77o gidida ma7o ehidi iya mayzite; iya biradhdhen sagaayo, iya tohuwan caamma aathite.
23 And get the fat young ox and put it to death, and let us have a feast, and be glad.
Modhdho gatarmentho ehidi shukkite, moos, ufayttoos.
24 For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.
Ta na7ay hayssi hayqqis, shin ha77i paxis; dhays, shin benttis’ yaagis. Hessafe guye, ufayetethi oykkidosona.
25 Now the older son was in the field: and when he came near the house, the sounds of music and dancing came to his ears.
“He wode bayra na7ay goshsha gaden de7ees. Yaappe yishe soo matishin yethinne gufa girssi si7is.
26 And he sent for one of the servants, questioning him about what it might be.
I, aylletappe issuwa xeegidi haniyabay aybeekko eranaw oychchis.
27 And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has had the young ox put to death because he has come back safely.
Aylley, ‘Ne ishay saro yida gisho ne aaway modhdho gatarmentho iyaw shukkis’ yaagis.
28 But he was angry and would not go in; and his father came out and made a request to him to come in.
“Bayra ishay yilotidi soo gelanawukka koyibeenna. Aaway kare keyidi soo gelana mela iya woossis.
29 But he made answer and said to his father, See, all these years I have been your servant, doing your orders in everything: and you never gave me even a young goat so that I might have a feast with my friends:
Shin I ba aawakko, ‘Hekko, hayssa mela laythi ta new aylletada ne kiitaappe issuwaka pacisonna new kiitettin ta ta laggetara ufayttana mela hari attoshin issi laaqa deeshe immabaakka.
30 But when this your son came, who has been wasting your property with bad women, you put to death the fat young ox for him.
Hanoshin, hayssi ne na7ay ne shaluwa laymatara doomisidi yin modhdho gatarmentho shukkadasa’” yaagis.
31 And he said to him, Son, you are with me at all times, and all I have is yours.
“Aawaykka, ‘Ta na7aw, neeni ubba wode taara de7aasa, tabay ubbay neessa.
32 But it was right to be glad and to have a feast; for this your brother, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away and has come back.
Hayssi ne ishay hayqqis, shin paxis; dhays, shin benttis. Hessa gisho, daro ufayttanaw bessees’ yaagana” yaagis.
