Luke 15
1 And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming near to him to hear him;
A om uh vaengah mangmucoi rhoek neh hlangtholh rhoek loh anih taengah hnatun ham boeih a paan uh.
2 and the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This [man] receives sinners and eats with them.
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.
3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying,
Te dongah hekah nuettahnah he amih ham a thui pa tih,
4 What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
“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?
5 and having found it, he lays it upon his own shoulders, rejoicing;
A hmuh vaengah khaw a laengpang dongah a tloeng tih omngaih ta.
6 and being come to the house, calls together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.
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.
7 I say unto you, that thus there shall be joy in heaven for one repenting sinner, [more] than for ninety and nine righteous who have no need of repentance.
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.
8 Or, what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek carefully till she find it?
“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.
9 and having found it she calls together the friends and neighbours, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.
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.
10 Thus, I say unto you, there is joy before the angels of God for one repenting sinner.
Te vanbangla nangmih taengah kan thui, “hlangtholh pakhat a yut soah ni Pathen kah puencawn rhoek hmaiah omngaihnah a om,” a ti nah.
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons;
Te phoeiah, “Hlang pakhat loh capa panit a khueh.
12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give to me the share of the property that falls [to me]. And he divided to them what he was possessed of.
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.
13 And after not many days the younger son gathering all together went away into a country a long way off, and there dissipated his property, living in debauchery.
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.
14 But when he had spent all there arose a violent famine throughout that country, and he began to be in want.
Boeih a hnonah phoeiah tah te rhoek pingpang ah khokha loh muep a pai thil tih, anih khaw vawt tangkhuet.
15 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Te dongah te pingpang kah pilnam pakhat taengah cet tih kap. Te vaengah anih te ok vuelh ham lohma la a tueih.
16 And he longed to fill his belly with the husks which the swine were eating; and no one gave to him.
Te vaengah ok loh a caak canghlam koi te caak ham a hue dae anih te pae uh pawh.
17 And coming to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have abundance of bread, and I perish here by famine.
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.
18 I will rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee;
Ka thoo vetih a pa taengla ka cet pawn ni. Amah taengah, 'A pa, vaan neh nang hmaiah ka tholh coeng.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
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.
20 And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.
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.
21 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.
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.
22 But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in [it], and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;
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.
23 and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
Vaito puetsuet te han khuen uh, te te ngawnuh. Te phoeiah uum uh sih lamtah ca uh sih.
24 for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry.
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.
25 And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming [up], he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Te vaengah lohma ah aka om a capa a ham te, im vat ham pha tih toembael neh a laam uh te a yaak.
26 And having called one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be.
Te dongah camoe pakhat a khue tih tekah hno akam om te a dawt.
27 And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well.
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.
28 But he became angry and would not go in. And his father went out and besought him.
Te dongah kosi a hong tih kun ham ngaih pawh. Tedae a napa tah cet tih anih te a hloep.
29 But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry with my friends:
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.
30 but when this thy son, who has devoured thy substance with harlots, is come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
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.
31 But he said to him, Child, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.
Tedae a napa loh amah te, “Camoe aw, nang tah kai taengah rhawp na om tih, kai koe boeih he nang hut coeng ni.
32 But it was right to make merry and rejoice, because this thy brother was dead and has come to life again, and was lost and has been found.
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.
