Luke 15
1 And all the publicans and the sinners were drawing 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 murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth 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 parable, saying,
Lani Jesu den pua ba mi naa kpanjama:
4 What man of you having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth 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 when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
O ya laa o o baa taa ki bugi o leni li pamanli.
6 And when he hath come home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.
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 in like manner there will be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of repentance.
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 pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search carefully till she findeth it?
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 when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which 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 I say to you, that thus there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
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 He said also, 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 his father, Father, give me the portion of the property that falleth to me. And he divided to them his 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, the younger son gathered all together, and went abroad into a far country; and there wasted his substance in riotous living.
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 when he had spent all, there arose a great famine in that country; and he 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 he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
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 longed to fill himself with the husks that the swine ate; and no one gave 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 when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish 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 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before thee;
N baa fii ki guani n baa po, ki ban yedi o: N baa, n tudi U Tienu po leni a yaapo kuli.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants.
Mii go pundi ban yini nni a bijua. Ya tuuni nni nani ŋan baa soani a tuonsoalo maama.”
20 And he arose, and went to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran and 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 have sinned against Heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy 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 But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his 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 bring the fatted calf; kill it, and let us eat and make merry.
Taa mani li naatonbiwubidili ki kodi li, tin je ki mangi bi pala.
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to make 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 Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came and 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 calling one of the servants, he inquired what these things meant.
O den yini naacenyendo ki buali o lan tie yaala.
27 And he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
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 But he was angry, and would not go in; and his father came out, and entreated 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 his father, Lo! for so many years have I served thee, and never transgressed thy command; and yet to me thou never gavest 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 as soon as this thy son came, who devoured thy living with harlots, thou didst kill for 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, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
O baa den goa ki yedi o: 'N bijua, a ye leni nni yogunu kuli, min pia yaala kuli tie a yaala.
32 It was meet that we should make merry and be glad; for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is 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.'”
