Luke 15
1 The tax collectors and the outcasts were all drawing near to Jesus to listen to him;
Koro josol osuru gi joricho nochokore machiegni mondo giwinje.
2 but the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law found fault. ‘This man always welcomes outcasts, and takes meals with them!’ they complained.
To jo-Farisai gi Jopuonj Chik ne ngʼur kawacho niya, “Ngʼatni rwako joricho kendo ochiemo kodgi.”
3 So Jesus told them this parable –
Eka Yesu nogoyo nigi ngero ni:
4 ‘Who among you who has a hundred sheep, and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine out in the open country, and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
“Ka ngʼato kuomu dibedi ni en gi rombe mia achiel, to achiel kuomgi olal, donge ngʼatno diwe piero ochiko gochikogo e pap kama ler kendo odhi omany rombo molal nyaka oyude?
5 And, when he has found it, he puts in on his shoulders rejoicing;
To ka oyude, okete e goke komor
6 and, on reaching home, he calls his friends and his neighbours together, and says “Come and rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.”
kendo odhiyo dala. Eka oluongo osiepene gi jogwengʼ-gi kaachiel, kowacho ni, ‘Moruru koda, aseyudo nyarombona ma yande olal.’
7 So, I tell you, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one outcast who repents, than over ninety-nine religious people, who have no need to repent.
Awachonu ni kamano e kaka mor nobedi e polo kuom jaricho achiel molokore, moloyo mor kuom ji piero ochiko gochiko mabeyo ma ok dwar weyo richo.
8 Or again, what woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
“Kata ka dibed ni nitie dhako man-gi silinge mamingli apar, to achiel olalne. Donge domok taya, kendo yweyo ot, ka omanye maber mondo omi oyude?
9 And, when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbours together, and says “Come and rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost.”
To ka oyude, oluongo osiepene gi jogwengʼ-gi kaachiel, kowacho ni, ‘Moruru koda, aseyudo pesana manolal.’
10 So, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of God’s angels over one outcast who repents.’
Mana kamano, awachonu e kaka mor e nyim malaika mag Nyasaye nobedie kuom jaricho achiel moweyo richo.”
11 Then Jesus continued, ‘A man had two sons;
Yesu nomedo wacho niya, “Ne nitie ngʼato moro mane nigi yawuowi ariyo.
12 and the younger of them said to his father “Father, give me my share of the inheritance.” So the father divided the property between them.
Wuowi ma chogo nowacho ni wuon mare ni, ‘Wuora, pogna mwanduna makora.’ Omiyo mano nopogo yawuote ariyogo mwandune.
13 A few days later the younger son got together all that he had, and went away into a distant land; and there he squandered his inheritance by leading a dissolute life.
“Bangʼ ndalo manok, wuowi machogono nokawo gige duto moloko pesa, eka nowuok modhi e piny mabor to kuro notiyo gi mwandune e yor dak e ngima mar anjawo.
14 After he has spent all that he had, there was a severe famine through all that country, and he began to be in actual want.
Kane osetieko pesane duto, kech mager nowuok e pinyno duto, mi nodoko jachan machandore.
15 So he went and engaged himself to one of the people of that country, who sent him into his fields to tend pigs.
Kuom mano nodhi mondo otine japiny moro, mi ngʼatno nokete jakwa anguro.
16 He even longed to satisfy his hunger with the bean-pods on which the pigs were feeding; and no one gave him anything.
Nogombo mondo ocham opokla ma anguro chamo, to bende onge ngʼato mane omiye gimoro.
17 But, when he came to himself, he said “How many of my father’s hired servants have more bread than they can eat, while here am I starving to death!
“Kane parone odwogone, nowacho ni, ‘Jotij wuonwa adi man-gi chiemo moromogi, madongʼ, to an to kech chama monego atho!
18 I will get up and go to my father, and say to him ‘Father, I sinned against heaven and against you;
Abiro wuok kendo adog ir wuora mi anawachne ni: Wuora, asetimo richo e nyim polo kendo e nyimi.
19 I am no longer fit to be called your son; make me one of your hired servants.’”
Ok awinjora koro oluonga ni wuodi; keta abed kaka achiel kuom jotichni.’
20 And he got up and went to his father. But, while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was deeply moved; he ran and threw his arms round his neck and kissed him.
Omiyo noa malo kendo nodhi ir wuon mare. “To kane pod en kuma bor, wuon mare nonene, kendo kopongʼ gi kech kuome, noringo kodhiyo ir wuode, nokwake gi bade kendo nonyodhe.
21 “Father,” the son said, “I sinned against heaven and against you; I am no longer fit to be called your son; make me one of your hired servants.”
“Wuowino nowachone ni, ‘Wuora, asetimo richo e nyim polo kendo e nyimi. Ok awinjora koro mondo oluonga ni wuodi.’
22 But the father turned to his servants and said “Be quick and fetch a robe – the very best – and put it on him; give him a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet;
“To wuon mare nowacho ne jotichne ni, ‘Timuru piyo kendo keluru law maberie moloyo mondo urwakne. Ketneuru tere e lith lwete kendo wuoche mondo urwakne e tiende.
23 and bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry;
Keluru nyarwath machwe uyangʼ. Wachamuru wabed mamor.
24 for here is my son who was dead, and is alive again, was lost, and is found.” So they began making merry.
Nikech wuodani yande otho, to koro onwangʼe.’ Kamano negichako timo nyasi ka gimor.
25 Meanwhile the elder son was out in the fields; but, on coming home, when he got near the house, he heard music and dancing,
“E kindeno, noyudo ka wuowi maduongʼ ni e puodho. Kane obiro machiegni gi ot nowinjo wer gi miel.
26 and he called one of the servants and asked what it all meant.
Omiyo noluongo achiel kuom jotich kendo nopenje ni en angʼo matimore.
27 “Your brother has come back,” the servant told him, “and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.”
Nodwoke ni, ‘Owadu osedwogo, to wuonu osenego nyarwath machwe nikech osedwogo kongima kendo maber.’
28 This made him angry, and he would not go in. But his father came out and begged him to do so.
“To wuowi maduongʼ mirima nomako, kendo notamore donjo e ot. Omiyo wuon mare nowuok oko odhiyo ire kendo nosaye mondo odonji.
29 “No,” he said to his father, “look at all the years I have been serving you, without ever once disobeying you, and yet you have never given me even a young goat, so that I might have a party with my friends.
To nodwoko wuon mare ni, ‘Neye, hignigi duto asebedo katiyoni ka misumba kendo aserito chikeni. To eka pok imiyoa kata mana nyadiel mondo ayangʼ, abedgo mamor kod osiepena.
30 But, no sooner has this son of yours come, who has eaten up your property in the company of prostitutes, than you have killed the fattened calf for him.”
To ka wuodini, moseketho gigegi gi mon ma jochode ka obiro dala, to iyangʼone nyarwath machwe!’
31 “Child,” the father answered, “you are always with me, and everything that I have is yours.
“Wuon mare nowacho niya, ‘Wuoda, in koda ndalo duto, kendo gik moko duto ma an-go gin magi.
32 We could but make merry and rejoice, for here is your brother who was dead, and is alive; who was lost, and is found.”’
To nyaka ne wabed mamor kendo bed moil, nikech owaduni yande otho to koro ongima, kendo yande olal to koro oyude!’”
