Luke 15
1 Many [HYP] tax collectors and [others whom people considered to be] habitual sinners kept coming to Jesus to listen to him teach.
Leleꞌ naa, atahori mana edꞌa bꞌea ma atahori nda papakeꞌ laen ra sa, akaꞌ rema risiꞌ Yesus fo rae rena E. Te atahori Yahudi ra rae fee se atahori nda maloleꞌ sa.
2 The Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws [who were there] [SYN] began to grumble, saying, “This man welcomes sinners and he also [defiles himself by eating] with them!”
Atahori Farisi ro meser agama Yahudi ra rita taꞌo naa ma unggu-remu rae, “Ciih! Atahori ia naꞌabꞌue no atahori nda papakeꞌ ra sa. Lenaꞌ fai Ana endoꞌ naa no se boe!”
3 So Jesus told them this parable:
Yesus rena taꞌo naa ma, Ana dui fee se nekendandaaꞌ nae,
4 “Suppose that one of you had 100 sheep. If one of them were lost, (you [(sg)] would certainly leave the 99 sheep in the pasture, and go and search for the one lost sheep until you found it./would you not leave the 99 sheep in the pasture, and go and search for the one lost sheep until you found it?) [RHQ]
“Mete ma mia hei ia hambu atahori sa naꞌena bibꞌi lombo natun esa. Boe ma mopo hendi esa. Oras ia atahori naa musi tao sa? Neꞌo ana lao hela bibꞌi lombo ka sio nulu sioꞌ ra reu lenuꞌ sa, ma neu sangga losa ana nita baliꞌ bibꞌi lombo mana mopoꞌ a.
5 When you [(sg)] found it, you would put it on your shoulders and be happy.
Leleꞌ ana nita baliꞌ bibꞌi lombo naa, ma nasaa nendi baliꞌ e no nemehoꞌot.
6 When you brought it home, you would call together your friends and neighbors and say to them, ‘Be happy with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost!’
Losa ume, ma ana noꞌe nala nonoon nara, de nafadꞌe se nae, ‘Wae! Hei ima mimihoꞌo mo au dei! Huu au ita baliꞌ bibꞌi lombo mana mopoꞌ ngga ena.’
7 I tell you [(pl)] that similarly [God] will be very happy about each and every sinner who turns from doing evil. God is not happy about 99 people who [think that they] are [IRO] righteous and think that they do not need to turn from doing evil.
Naa, sia sorga o onaꞌ naa boe. mete ma hambu atahori mana tao salaꞌ sa dꞌoaꞌ ena, fo baliꞌ nisiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ, na basa mana sia sorga ra ramahoꞌo. Ara romahoꞌo lenaꞌ huu atahori esa mana bali nisiꞌ Lamatua, mia atahori ka sionulu sioꞌ fo mana rasodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ, ma nda laoꞌ sala dalaꞌ sa.”
8 Or, suppose that a woman has ten [very valuable] silver coins. If she loses one of them, (she will certainly light a lamp and sweep the floor and search carefully until she finds it!/will she not light a lamp and sweep the floor and search carefully until she finds it?) [RHQ]
Boe ma Yesus dui nekendandaaꞌ esa fai nae, “Hambu mama esa naꞌena doi fulaꞌ sanahulu. Te, mopo hendi esa. Oras ia, ana nae tao saa o? Neꞌo ana neu nambilaꞌ lambu fo dꞌelo sia bee-bꞌee, ma ngganggai ume a losa mamana makabiaꞌ ra, fo sangga dꞌoiꞌ naa no malolole.
9 When she finds it, she will call together her friends and neighbors and say, ‘Be happy with me, [because] I have found the coin that I lost!’
Leleꞌ ana nita baliꞌ dꞌoiꞌ naa ma, ana neu noꞌe atahori ume titia nara, de nafadꞌe nae, Woi! ima fo mimihoꞌo mo au dei! Huu au ita baliꞌ doi mana mopo ngga ena!’
10 I tell you that similarly the angels will be happy about [even just] one sinner who turns from doing evil.”
Sia sorga o onaꞌ naa boe. Mete ma hambu atahori mana tao salaꞌ sa dꞌoaꞌ, de baliꞌ nisiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ, na, basa dedꞌenuꞌ sia sorga ramahoꞌo seli boe.”
11 Then [Jesus told them this parable to compare what the Pharisees and teachers of the Jewish law thought about those who turn from their sinful behavior with what God thinks about such people]. He said, “A certain man had two sons.
Yesus tute oꞌolan nendiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ laen esa fai nae, “Hambu amaꞌ sa no anan touꞌ rua.
12 One day the younger son said to his father, ‘Father, [I do not want to wait until you(sg) die]. Give me now the share of your property that belongs to me!’ So the man divided his property between his two sons.
Lao esa, ana murin nafadꞌe aman nae, ‘Amaꞌ e! Banggi fee au hata-hetoꞌ ra leo! Boe ma aman babꞌanggi hata-hetoꞌ ra fee neu ruꞌa se.
13 A few days later, the younger son [sold his share]. He gathered his money and other things together and went to a country far away. There he spent all his money foolishly in reckless/wild living.
Nda dooꞌ sa ma, ana muriꞌ a seo hendi ena nara. De ana mboti bꞌua-baꞌu nara, boe ma lao nisiꞌ nusa dodꞌooꞌ. Sia naa, ana ngganggari doi nara no nesodꞌat sosoa aoꞌ.
14 After he had spent all his money, there was a great famine throughout that country. And soon he did not have enough [food to] eat.
Leleꞌ doi nara basa ma, ndoe-laꞌas manaseliꞌ dai nusaꞌ naa, de ana o nasodꞌa toꞌa-taa nala seli.
15 So he went to one of the landowners in that area and asked for work. The man sent him to work taking care of the pigs in his field.
Boe ma neu sangga ues. Atahori sa sia nusaꞌ naa simbo e de denu e hani fafi nara.
16 [Because he was very hungry], he would have been glad to eat the bean pods that the pigs ate. But no one gave him anything to eat.
Huu anaꞌ naa nda nabeꞌi ndondoen sa ena, de ana nae naa fafi ra nanaat na. Huu nda hambu atahori esa fee ne nanaat sa boe.
17 Finally he thought clearly about what he had done. He said to himself, ‘All of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food! They have more [SYN] than they can eat, but here I am dying because I do not have anything to eat [HYP]!
Dodꞌoo ma ana duꞌa neu-nema nae, ‘Sia ama ngga umen, basa atahori mana tao-ues ra hambu raa losa raꞌabꞌeta. Te au sia ia aeꞌ a mate ndoes ena.
18 So I will leave here and go back to my father. I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against God [MTY, EUP] and against you [(sg)].
Malole lenaꞌ, au baliꞌ isiꞌ ama ngga. Fo ufadꞌe ae, “Amaꞌ! Au tao sala monaeꞌ ena neu Lamatuaꞌ ma amaꞌ boe.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called {of [you] calling me} your son. Just hire me to be like one of the other hired servants.”’
Au nda undandaa dadꞌi amaꞌ anan sa ena. Sadꞌi amaꞌ simbo au dadꞌi ate sia amaꞌ umen, o naa malole boe!’”
20 So he left there and went back to his father’s house. But while he was still some distance from the house, his father saw him. He pitied him. He ran to his son and embraced him and kissed him [on the cheek].
Ana duꞌa nala taꞌo naa ma, fela de baliꞌ nisiꞌ aman umen. Feꞌe sia dodꞌooꞌ te toulasiꞌ a nita e, ma tudꞌa kasian mbali e. Ana onda mia umen de nela-nelaꞌ neu soru anan mana baliꞌ a. De ana holu ma idꞌu e.
21 His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against God [MTY/EUP] and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called {of [you] calling me} your son.’
Boe ma anaꞌ a olaꞌ no aman nae, ‘Amaꞌ! Au tao sala monaeꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ ma amaꞌ. Au nda undandaa dadꞌi anam sa ena.’
22 But his father said to his servants, ‘Go quickly and bring to me the best robe [in the house]! Then put it on my son. Put a ring on his finger [to show that I am honoring him again as my son]! Put sandals on his feet [to show that I do not consider him to be a slave]!
Te aman parenda tuteꞌ atahori mana tao ues nara nae, ‘Woi! Lailai, e! Mii haꞌi mendi badꞌu meulauꞌ seli a! fo fee ne pake. Olu ndeli neu lima uꞌun, ma sapatu neu ei nara.
23 Then bring the fat calf and kill it [and cook it]. We [(inc)] must eat and celebrate,
Mii lea mala sapi mbarunaꞌ naa fo tati, te hita tae feta-dote teu esa.
24 because my son has returned! [It is as though] [MET] he was dead and is alive again! [It is as though] he was lost and now has been found!’ So they did that, and they all began to celebrate.
Huu ana ngga ia onaꞌ mana mateꞌ ena, te ia naa ana nasodꞌa baliꞌ ena. Ana mopo, te ia naa au hambu baliꞌ e ena.’ Olaꞌ basa taꞌo naa ma, ara feta-dꞌote boe.
25 While all that was happening, the man’s older son was out [working] in the field. When he came near to the house, he heard [people playing] music and dancing.
Leleꞌ naa, ana uluꞌ a nese ume, huu ana neu tao ues sia osi rala. Leleꞌ ana baliꞌ ma, feꞌe sia dodꞌooꞌ te ana rena atahori raꞌaminaꞌ lii-liiꞌ ma lendo-foti.
26 He called one of the servants and asked what was happening.
Boe ma ana noꞌe nala mana tao ues esa, de natane nae, ‘Woi! Tao rarameꞌ saa ia?’
27 The servant said to him, ‘Your [younger] brother has come [home] Your father has [told us to] kill the fat calf [to celebrate] because your brother has returned safe and healthy.’
Atahori mana tao ues a nataa nae, ‘Malangga odꞌi ma nema ena. Dadꞌi amaꞌ, denu tati sapi fo tao fefeta monaeꞌ, huu anan baliꞌ no sodꞌaꞌ.’
28 [But] the older brother was angry. He refused to enter [the house]. So his father came out and pleaded with him [to come in].
Rena taꞌo naa, ma ana uluꞌ a namanasa. Ana nda nau ume rala neu sa ena. Boe ma aman nema de kokoe e ume rala neu.
29 But he replied to his father, ‘Listen to me! For many years I have worked for you like a slave. I always obeyed everything you told me to do. But you never even gave me a young goat, so that I could [kill it and cook it and] celebrate with my friends.
Te ana namue nae, ‘Amaꞌ! Dꞌuꞌa sobꞌa dei! Dꞌoon basa ia au tao ues itaꞌ mamate ngga onaꞌ ate fee amaꞌ. Au nda ulena-langga neu amaꞌ hihii-nanaun sa. Onaꞌ naa o, amaꞌ nda feꞌe fee mita au hie anaꞌ esa fo tao fefetas umuhoꞌo o nonoo nggara sa boe.
30 But this son of yours spent all the [money he got from] what you gave him. He spent it [to pay for sleeping with] prostitutes! Yes, now he has returned home, [but it is not fair that] you have told your [servants] to kill the fat calf [and cook it] for him!’
Tao-tao te amaꞌ ana mana ngganggari hata-hetoꞌ a, neu naꞌaminaꞌ no inaꞌ ra de nabasaꞌ amaꞌ dꞌoin. Ana baliꞌ nema ma, amaꞌ tati sapi malolen seli de tao fefeta monaeꞌ fee ne.’
31 But his father said to him, ‘My son, you have always been with me, and all my property [that I did not give to your brother] has been yours.
Te aman nataa nae, ‘Ana susue ngge! Rena malolole! Leo mo au doo basa ia ena. Basa saa fo amaꞌ enan, naa ra o ho enam boe.
32 But [it is as though] [MET] your brother was dead and is alive again! [It is as though] he was lost and now he has been found! So it is appropriate for us to be happy and celebrate!’”
Te oras ia hita musi feta-dꞌote tamahoꞌo, huu odꞌim ia. Feꞌesaꞌan, onaꞌ ana mate ena, te ia naa nasodꞌa baliꞌ ena. Ana mopo ena, te ia naa hambu baliꞌ e ena.’”
