Luke 15
1 And all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to Him, to hear Him,
Bi lubigaaba leni i tagibiadi danba den kpendi Jesu kani ki bua ki gbadi o maama.
2 and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying, “This One receives sinners, and eats with them.”
Falisieninba leni li balimaama bangikaaba den yenbidi ki tua: “O joa na gaani i tagibiadi danba cangu ki go di leni ba.”
3 And He spoke to them this allegory, saying,
Lani Jesu den pua ba mi naa kpanjama:
4 “What man of you having one hundred sheep, and having lost one out of them, does not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go on after the lost one, until he may find it?
“Yi siiga yua pia pe kobiga ke yendo bia, naani waa baa ŋa ya piiyiadi n peyiadi n sieni bi kpaakaanu li fuali nni ki ŋoadi yua n yaadi yeni hali ki ban le o?
5 And having found, he lays [it] on his shoulders rejoicing,
O ya laa o o baa taa ki bugi o leni li pamanli.
6 and having come into the house, he calls together the friends and the neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep—the lost one.
O ya ban pundi o denpo, o baa yini o danlinba leni o yieninlieba ki yedi ba: 'Taani mani leni nni tin mangi ti pala, kelima n laa n pia, yua n den bia yeni.'
7 I say to you that [more] joy will be in Heaven over one sinner converting, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of conversion.
N yedi yi, li pamanli baa ye tanpoli po kelima ti tuonbiadi daano yendo yua n biidi o pali o tuonbiadi po ki lebidi o yama, ki cie niteginkaaba piiyia n niba yia yaaba n kaa nua ke mi lebidima yeni tie tiladi yaapo.
8 Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she may lose one drachma, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully until she may find?
Bi o pua ya pia kujapiena piiga ke yenli bia, naani waa baa cuoni ki fidisanga, ki pidi li dieli ki ya lingi li dindini hali ki ban le o cili?
9 And having found, she calls together the female friends and the neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I found the drachma that I lost.
O ya laa li, o baa yini o danlinba leni o yieninlieba ki yedi ba: 'Taani mani leni nni tin mangi ti pala kelima n laa n kujapienli yaali n bia yeni.'
10 So I say to you, joy comes before the messengers of God over one sinner converting.”
N yedi yi, li baa tie yene tanpoli po. U Tienu malekinba baa mangi bi pala kelima ti tuonbiadi daano yendo yua n biidi o pali o tuonbiadi po ki lebidi o yama.”
11 And He said, “A certain man had two sons,
O go den yedi: “O joa den ye ki pia bonjala lie.
12 and the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of the substance falling to [me], and he divided to them the living.
O bonwaalo den yedi o baa: 'N baa, boagidi ŋan bili npo ya faali a piama nni ki teni nni.' O joa yeni den boagidi ba o piama.
13 And not many days after, having gathered all together, the younger son went abroad to a far country, and there he scattered his substance, living riotously;
Lan tieni dana waamu o bonwaalo den taa o ya biinu kuli ki gedi ya diema n foagi. O den biani o ya faali kuli kelima o bibiadima po.
14 and he having spent all, there came a mighty famine on that country, and himself began to be in want;
Wan den biani likuli, mi konbiadima den baa mi diema yeni, ke o cili ki luo yaala n tie tiladi o yema po kuli.
15 and having gone on, he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into the fields to feed pigs,
Lani o den gedi ki mia li tuonli dotieyendo kani ke o gedini o kuanu po ke wan ban ya kpa i duoli.
16 and he was desirous to fill his belly from the husks that the pigs were eating, and no one was giving to him.
Mi koma po o den bua ki ya di i duoli n di ya jiema, ama oba kuli ki puni o.
17 And having come to himself, he said, How many hired workers of my father have a superabundance of bread, and I am perishing here with hunger!
Lani o den kpaagi ki laa o yama nni ki yedi o pali nni: 'N baa tuonsoanba pia li bonjekaala ke li kandi ke mini ti ye ne ki kpe mi koma.
18 Having risen, I will go on to my father, and will say to him, Father, I sinned—to Heaven, and before you,
N baa fii ki guani n baa po, ki ban yedi o: N baa, n tudi U Tienu po leni a yaapo kuli.
19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired workers.
Mii go pundi ban yini nni a bijua. Ya tuuni nni nani ŋan baa soani a tuonsoalo maama.”
20 And having risen, he went to his own father, and he being yet far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having ran he fell on his neck and kissed him;
Lani o den fii ki guani o baa po. Wan daa den ye hali foagima, o baa den laa o ke mi niŋima cuo o, ke o sani ki ban bibi o ki gobini o leni mi buama.
21 and the son said to him, Father, I sinned—to Heaven, and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son.
O bijua den yedi o: 'N baa, n tudi U Tienu po leni a yaapo kuli. Mii go pundi ban yini nni a bijua.
22 And the father said to his servants, Bring forth the foremost robe, and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and sandals for the feet;
Ama o baa den yedi o naacenba: 'Jaligi mani ki cuani ya liadi cianli n ŋani ki cie ki lani o, ki pilini omi ñoagibima ki pilini o ti cacaadi moko.
23 and having brought the fatted calf, kill [it], and having eaten, we may be merry,
Taa mani li naatonbiwubidili ki kodi li, tin je ki mangi bi pala.
24 because this son of mine was dead, and lived again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.
Kelima n bijua na den kpe ki goa ki faadi, o den yaadi ke n goa ki laa o.' Bi den cili ki mangidi bi pala.
25 And his elder son was in a field, and as, coming, he drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing,
Li den sua ke o bijakpelo ye u kuanu po. Wan den kpendi ki nagini ku diegu, o den gbadi ti baantiadi ke bi pua ki ciaga.
26 and having called near one of the young men, he was inquiring what these things might be,
O den yini naacenyendo ki buali o lan tie yaala.
27 and he said to him, Your brother has arrived, and your father killed the fatted calf, because he received him back in health.
O naacemo den yedi o: 'A waalo n goa ki kpeni, a baa n laa o leni laafia yene ke o kodi tin wubi ya naatonbiwubidili.'
28 And he was angry, and would not go in, therefore his father, having come forth, was pleading him;
Lani o bijakpelo yeni pali den beni, ke o yie ke o kan kua. O baa den ñani ki miamia ke wan kua.
29 and he answering said to the father, Behold, so many years I serve you, and never did I transgress your command, and you never gave to me a kid that I might make merry with my friends;
O den goa ki yedi ba: 'Diidi ki le, n tuuni apo ŋali ya bina n yaba, mii yie a ñoabonli liba kuli, ama ŋaa puni nni baa ŋoabiga ke mini leni n danlinba n taani ki je ki mangi ti pala.
30 but when your son—this one who devoured your living with prostitutes—came, you killed to him the fatted calf.
Ama a bijua yua n ban dini a ŋalimano leni a poconcona yeni n goa ki kpeni, wani yaapo yo ke a kodi tin wubi ya naatonbiwubidili.'
31 And he said to him, Child, you are always with me, and all my things are yours;
O baa den goa ki yedi o: 'N bijua, a ye leni nni yogunu kuli, min pia yaala kuli tie a yaala.
32 but to be merry, and to be glad, it was necessary, because this your brother was dead, and lived again, he was lost, and was found.”
Li pundi tin je ki go mangi ti pala kelima a waalo na den kpe ki go faadi, o den yaadi ke ti goa ki laa o.'”
