Luke 15
1 Tax collectors and other “sinners” often used to come and listen to Jesus.
A SAUNOPWEI o me dipan akan karos ap kai dong i pwen rong i.
2 As a result the Pharisees and the religious teachers complained, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
A Parisär o saunkawewe kan lipaned indada: Ol men et kin kompokeki me dipan akan o iang irail sakasak.
3 So Jesus told them this story as an illustration.
A a kotin masani ong irail karaseras wet:
4 “Imagine a man who had a hundred sheep lost one of them. Wouldn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture, and search for the one that's lost until he finds it?
Is aramas re omail me na sip epuki, a ma amen irail salongalar me so pan pwilikidi ir duekduemen nan wel ap raparapaki me salongalar, lao a pan diarada i?
5 When he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders.
A lao diarada i, a kidang pon pop a pereperen.
6 Once he gets home, he calls his friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Come and celebrate with me! I've found my lost sheep!’
A lao pure dong deu a, a kin eker pena kompokepa kan o men imp a kan indai ong irail: Komail iang ia perenda, pwe i diaradar nai sip me salongalar.
7 I tell you that there's more joy in heaven over a sinner that repents than over ninety-nine good people who don't need to repent.
I indai ong komail, nan iduen peren pil pan mi nanlang pweki me dipan me ta men, me kalula, sang duekduemen me pung ap sota mau ong kalula.
8 Imagine a woman who has ten silver coins, and loses one of them. Wouldn't she light a lamp and sweep the house, carefully searching until she finds it?
O is li o me na denar eisok, eu ap salongala sang, me so pan isikada lamp o koke im o, o raparapaki mau, lao a pan diarada?
9 When she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Come and celebrate with me! I've found the silver coin that I lost.’
A lao diaradar i, a kin eker pena kompokepa kan o men imp a kan indai ong irail: Komail iang ia perenda, pwe i diarada ai denar o, me salongalar.
10 I tell you there is joy in the presence of God's angels over one sinner that repents.
Nan I indai ong komail, iduen peren mi ren tounlang en Kot akan, pweki me dipan me ta men, me kalula.
11 Once there was a man who had two sons,” Jesus explained.
A kotin masani: Aramas amen mia, me na ol riamen.
12 “The younger one told his father, ‘Father, give me my inheritance now.’ So the man divided his property between them.
A me tikitik re’ra indai ong sam a: Sam ai, kotiki dong ia pwais ai en soso, me udan ai. I ari nene ong ira ara dipisou kan.
13 A few days later the younger son packed up what he had and left for a distant country. Here he wasted all his money living a reckless life.
A murin ran akai me tikitik ren ol oko ki pena a dipisou karos, ap sailokalang sap doo, wasa a kasela mal a kapwa kan nin tiak sued.
14 After he'd spent everything, the country was hit by a severe famine and he was starving.
A lao kamuse weita a kapwa karos, lek lapalap ap pwaida sap o, i ari dupokalar.
15 So he went and took a job with one of the farmers there who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
I ap koieila dodok ren me pweledan sap o men. I ap kadarala i, pwen kamanga na pwik kan.
16 He was so hungry that he would have eaten even the pig food, but no one gave him anything.
I ari inong iong, kangkang wantuka kai, me pwik kin namenam, a sota me mueid ong i.
17 When he came to his senses, he said to himself, ‘All of my father's workers have more than enough to eat—why am I dying from hunger here?
A kadekadeo i lao lolekongalar, ap indada: Ladu me depa mi ren sam ai, me kan ar manga me rak, a ngai pan mekila so kan ai manga.
18 I'm going home to my father! I'll tell him, Father, I've sinned against heaven and against you.
I pan uda purela ren sam ai indai ong i: Sam ai, i wiadar dip ong nanlang o ong komui.
19 I'm no longer worthy to be called your son. Please treat me as one of your hired workers.’
I solar warong adaneki noumui putak, komui ari wia kin ia ladu’mui men.
20 So he left and went home to his father. Even though he was still far away in the distance, his father saw him coming, and his heart went out to his son. The father ran to his son, hugging and kissing him.
I ari uda purela ren sam a. A ni a mi wasa doo, sam a kilangada i, ap pokela, pitipiti dong i o polodi i, metik i.
21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I've sinned against heaven and against you. I'm no longer worthy to be called your son.’
A putak o indai ong i: Sam ai, i wiadar dip ong nanlang o ong komui, i solar war ong adaneki noumui putak.
22 But the father told his servants, ‘Quick—bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
A sam masani ong na ladu kan: Wado likau kasampwal o kalikauwia kida i, o ki ong ring ni sondin pa a, o sut ni nä a kan.
23 Bring the calf we've been fattening and kill it. Let's have a feast to celebrate
O wado kau pul wi o kamela, pwe kitail en kang o pereperen.
24 because this is my son who was dead, but who has returned alive; he was lost but now he's found.’ So they started celebrating.
Pwe nai putak men et melar ap mauredar, a salongalar ap diarokadar. Irail ari perendar.
25 Now the older son was working out in the fields. As he walked towards the house, he heard music and dancing.
A na putak laud mi nan sap o. Ni a pure dong koren iong im o, ap rongadar kakaul o kakalek,
26 So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
Ap kalelapok ren ladu men duen ar wiawia.
27 ‘Your brother is back,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he's come home safe and sound.’
A indang i: Ri omui ol puredo, sam omui ap kamela kau pul wi o, pwe a diaradar i memaur o kelail.
28 The brother became angry. He refused to go in. So his father came out to plead with him.
A ap makara kida o sota men pedelong, sam a ap pedoi dong re a poekipoeki.
29 He told his father, ‘Look, all these years I've served you, and never disobeyed you, but you never once gave me even a young goat so I could have a party with my friends.
A a sapeng indang sam a: Kom mangi, par toto me i papa komui, o i saikenta kawela eu omui masan akan, a kom sota kotiki ong ia kisin kut amen, i en kamadipeki kompoke pai kan.
30 Now this son of yours comes back, having spent your money on prostitutes, and you kill the fattened calf for him!’
A noumui putak men et lao kodo, murin a kamuse wei a dipisou ren me sued akan, komui ap isik ong i kau pul wi o.
31 ‘Son,’ the father replied, ‘you are always here with me. Everything I have is yours.
Sam a ap masani ong i: Nai seri, koe kin mimieta re i ansau karos, o ai meakaros me om.
32 But we should be happy and celebrate! This is your brother who was dead, but who has returned alive; he was lost but now he's found!’”
Me mau, koe en peren o insenemau. Pwe ri om ol men et melar, ap mauredar, a salongalar ap diarokadar.
