Luke 15
1 The tax-gatherers and the outcasts were all drawing near to Jesus to listen to him;
Sie len ah ke mwet eisani tax ac mwet koluk puspis saya fahsreni in lohng luti lun Jesus,
2 but the Pharisees and the Teachers of the Law found fault. “This man always welcomes outcasts, and takes meals with them!” they complained.
mwet Pharisee ac mwet luti Ma Sap uh mutawauk in torkaskas ac fahk, “Mwet se inge eisani mwet koluk ac el welulos pac mongo!”
3 So Jesus told them this parable —
Ouinge Jesus el fahk pupulyuk se inge nu selos:
4 “What man 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 till he finds it?
“Fin sie suwos oasr sheep siofok natul, ac soko tuhlac, mea el ac oru? Ya el ac tia filiya ma eungoul eu inima an ac som suk ma soko ma tuhlac nwe ke na el konauk?
5 And, when he has found it, he puts in on his shoulders rejoicing;
Ke el konalak el ac arulana engan, na el ac srakalak nu finpisal,
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.’
ac usal folokla nu yen sel ah. Na el ac pangoneni mwet kawuk lal ac mwet tulan lal ac fahk nu selos, ‘Fahsru wiyu engan, mweyen nga konauk sheep soko nutik ma tuhlac!’
7 So, I tell you, there will be more rejoicing in Heaven over one outcast that repents, than over ninety-nine religious men, who have no need to repent.
Nga fahk nu suwos, in ouiya se pacna inge, ac fah oasr engan lulap inkusrao ke sie mwet koluk su auliyak, liki mwet suwoswos eungoul eu su nunku mu elos tia enenu in auliyak.
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?
“Ku sie mutan fin oasr ipin mani singoul lal, ac sie tuhlac, mea el ac oru? Ya el ac tia akosak lam uh, imonla lohm uh, ac moniyuk in suk nwe ke na el konauk?
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.’
Ke pacl se el konauk uh el ac pangoneni mwet kawuk lal ac mwet tulan lal ac fahk nu selos, ‘Fahsru wiyu engan, mweyen nga konauk ipin mani se luk ma tuhlac!’
10 So, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of God’s angels over one outcast that repents.”
Nga fahk nu suwos, in ouiya se na inge, yohk engan yurin lipufan lun God ke sie mwet koluk su auliyak.”
11 Then Jesus continued: “A man had two sons;
Ac Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “Oasr wen luo nutin sie mwet.
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.
Wen se ma fusr ah fahk nu sin papa tumal, ‘Papa, ase nu sik inge ip luk ke mwe usru lom uh.’ Ouinge papa sac kitalik usru lal nu seltal.
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.
Tukun kutu len, wen se ma fusr ah el eisani ma lal nukewa ac som nu ke sie facl loessula, ac sununtei mani lal uh ke ma na wangin sripa.
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.
Tukun el sisla ma lal nukewa, na sie sracl lulap sikyak in facl sac, ac el muta in kwaco na lulap.
15 So he went and engaged himself to one of the people of that country, who sent him into his fields to tend pigs.
Ke ma inge el som ac sukok orekma yurin sie mwet in facl sac, su supwalla nu inima lal in liyaung pig uh.
16 He even longed to satisfy his hunger with the bean-pods on which the pigs were feeding; and no one gave him anything.
El kena akkihpye insial ke kulun bean nun pig uh, a wanginna mwet sang nu sel.
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!
Tok, el asmakla ac nunkauk in el mu, ‘Yolyak mwe mongo nun mwet orekma lun papa tumuk, a nga akuran misa ke masrinsral!
18 I will get up and go to my father, and say to him “Father, I sinned against Heaven and against you;
Inge nga ac tuyak ac folokla nu yurin papa tumuk ac fahk nu sel, “Papa, nga orekma koluk lain God ac lain kom.
19 I am no longer fit to be called your son; make me one of your hired servants.”’
Tia fal in sifil pangpang nga wen nutum. Oreyu oana sie sin mwet orekma lom.’”
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.
Ke ma inge, el tuyak ac folokla nu yurin papa tumal. “Ke el srakna fahsr loesla liki lohm sel uh, papa tumal ah liyalak ac arulana pakomutal, ac el kasrusr nu yurin wen natul, kafiselma inpaol ac ngok mutal.
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.’
Na wen sac fahk, ‘Papa, nga orekma koluk lain God ac lain kom. Tia fal in sifilpa pangpang nga wen nutum.’
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;
Tusruktu papa sac fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, ‘Sulaklak, use sie nuknuk na kato ac sang nokmulang. Sang pac sie ring nu ke paol, ac fahluk nu ke nial.
23 and bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry;
Na kowos som ac use cow fusr soko ma fact oemeet uh ac uniya, kut in orek kufwa ac engan.
24 for here is my son who was dead, and is alive again, was lost, and is found.’ So they began making merry.
Mwehen wen se nutik inge tuh misa, ac inge el sifil moul; el tuhlac, ac inge koneyukyak el.’ Ouinge kufwa ah mutawauk.
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,
“In pacl se inge, wen se ma matu ah orekma oasr inimae. Ke el foloko ac apkuranyang nu ke lohm uh, el lohng pusren mwe on ac onsrosro.
26 and he called one of the servants and asked what it all meant.
Na el pangonma sie sin mwet kulansap uh ac siyuk sel, ‘Mea orek uh?’
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.’
Ac mwet kulansap sac fahk, ‘Tamulel se lom el foloko, ac papa tomom el uniya cow fusr soko ma fact oemeet uh, mweyen wen se natul ah painmoul foloko ac ku na.’
28 This made him angry, and he would not go in. But his father came out and begged him to do so.
Wen se ma matu arulana kasrkusrak, ac tia lungse utyak nu in lohm ah. Ouinge papa tumal el tufoki ac kwafe elan utyak.
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 kid, so that I might have a merry-making with my friends.
Tusruktu el topuk papa tumal ac fahk, ‘Liye, yac puspis nga orekma nu sum oana sie mwet foko, ac tiana seakos ma sap lom uh. Ac mea kom se nu sik? Ne nani soko, kom tia pac use nga in orek kufwa kac yurin mwet kawuk luk uh!
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.’
A wen se nutum inge el sununtei ma lom nukewa yurin mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lalos, ac ke el foloko kom uniya cow fusr soko ma fact oemeet uh nu sel!’
31 ‘Child,’ the father answered, ‘you are always with me, and everything that I have is yours.
Papa sac fahk nu sel, ‘Wen nutik, kom muta yuruk pacl nukewa, ac ma luk nukewa ma lom.
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.’”
A kut enenu na in orek kufwa ac engan, mweyen tamulel se lom inge el misa ac sifil moul. El tuhlac, ac inge sifil koneyukyak el.’”
