< Luke 15 >

1 Then drew near to him all the tax collectors and sinners to hear him.
Saasiit sokse seete nyia danhaatcho mina loong Jisu jeng boichaat thokrum taha,
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
Pharisi nyia Hootthe Nyootte loong ah suusu ih waan rumta, “Arah mih rah ih danhaatcho mina loong ah poon ano neng damdi nep uh roong phaksah ruh eha!”
3 And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
Erah thoidi Jisu ih arah tiitthaak tiit ah baatta:
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he loseth one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth it?
“Jengthaak ih sen wasiit thandoh chaasiit taan saapsah toom angthaak ah, eno erah dung dowa esiit ah emat eah bah—an ih tumjih theng ah? An ih rook akhuh akhuh rah naamphak ban riim thuk uno esiit moong khoomta saapsah rah maang japtuptup ih jam sokkah uh.
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Eno chojam uno, rapne ih roonsoon damdoh saapsah rah an sookkaang nah toonpi wan uh
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
eno an nok nah ngaak piiwan uh. Erah lidoh an joonte nyi ankhuung antok loong ah lompoon uno baat uh, ‘Ngah rapne ih roonlang nga saapsah mata ah japjam angno ah. Erah thoidi seng ih saroom hoon ih, raahan!’
7 I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance.
Erah likhiik, ngah ih baat rumhala, mina wasiit heh rangdah nawa ngaaklek abah rangmong hasong nah rapne tenroon ang ah, rook akhuh akhuh elong elang mina loong neng rangdah nawa ngaaklek suh lanookka loong ah nang ih ah.
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loseth one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she findeth it?
“Adoleh jengthaak ih minuh esiit ih ngunkholok lo asih dowa loosiit ah maat haat abah heh ih tumjih et ah? Heh ih weetook ah kaangtook ano, nok ah joom ano naririh maang japtuptup ih jam sok ah.
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
Heh ih japtup ano, heh joonte nyia heh khuung atok loong ah lompoon ah, eno neng suh baat ah, ‘Ngah rapne ih roonlang nga jaan ngun mata rah japjam angno ah. Seng loong saroom room ih!’
10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Erah likhiik, ngah ih baat rumhala, Rangte Rangsah loong uh emamah ih roon ah wasiit taan rangdah nawa ngaaklek abah ah.”
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Jisu erah damdi wakbaatta, “Ehak di mih wasiit di heh sah wanyi angta.
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided to them his living.
Noolih warah ih heh wah asuh baatta, ‘Ewah, nga dakbi nyamka ah ngah suh amadoh laan phe kohang.’ Eno heh warah ih heh sah nyi asuh pheekoh nyuuta.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
Sa nyi jom lini noolih warah ih heh dabbi nyamka ah sang ano nok nawa erah ngun ah hui ano moongkhoom kata. Heh mideek ni moongkhoom kata, eno heh ngun loong ah thaangmuh di lasootsaam thang ih thaaja kaatta.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
Heh jiinni mathan ngun jeeta angta thoontang jen thaaja lini, erah hah adi ramkhah dongta, eno heh jiinni tumjih uh tadakta.
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Erah thoidi heh erah deek adi mih nok ni lakniik jam kata eno wasiit ih heh phek ni wak ban sok thukta.
16 And he was longing to fill his belly with the husks that the swine ate: and no man gave to him.
Heh ih thunta wakjook theng wakcham ah tam laan sah ang eah, tumeah heh suh o ih uh phaksat kotte tajeeta.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger!
Hethoondi heh thung ni dongthunta eno liita, ‘Seng wah nok ni mote loong ih neng wok maang phootphoot kah ih phaksah rum ah, chiinyah ngah bah aadi ram ih the halang!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
Ngah seng wah jiinnah ngaakwang angno baatwan ang, “Ewah, ngah ih Rangte damdi nyia an ngathong ni rapne ih rangdah molang.
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
Aadowa ih ngah an sah ih poon suh tapunkang; an ih ngah ah mootkaatte wasiit ih samthun hang.’
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Eno heh ah dokchap ano heh wah jiinni ngaakwangta. “Heh wah ih japtupta tok adi heh ah nok nawa haloot ni dook angta; ang abah uh heh wah heh thungthet lam ih soonkah ano, heh sah rah khonjoh ano chupphakta.
21 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
‘Ewah,’ heh sah rah ih liita, ‘Nga Rangte nyia an ngathong ni rapne ih rangdah molang. Ngah aadowa ih an sah et jen li suh takah pun kang.’
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
Ang abah uh heh wah ih heh laksuh loong ah poon rum ano baatta, ‘Echaan!’ Heh ih liita, ‘Samsong jaase thoon ang arah jam koh jahan eno song thuk an. Heh lak nah laktiip ah tiipkoh eh an heh lah nah lakhoop ah khoop thuk ih an.
23 And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
Erah lilih maan etotot ah jowang anno joot an, eno seng loong ah saroom room ih!
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Tumeah arah nga sah ah etek eta, eno amadi heh engaakthing ela; heh mat eta, eno amadi jap jamhi. Eno saroom phaksat ah phang choongchaam rumta.
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
“Erah tokdi heh sah phokhoh wah ah phek ni angta. Heh ngaakwang ha di, heh nok ko ih tiitthok damdam ih, heh ih boongkaat seehoon ang arah japchaatta.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
Eno heh ih laksuh wasiit ah poon ano chengta, ‘Tumjih angla?’
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.
An no ngaak wang taha,’ laksuh rah ih ngaakbaatta,’ eno an wah ih etotthoon maan ah joot thuk tahe, tumeah heh ah naririh punpiipi ih ngaak wang taha eah.’
28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore his father came out, and entreated him.
“Phokhoh wah ah rapne ih khata nok ni uh lawang thang ah; eno heh wah ah kah ano ‘nok nah wang ho’ ih heh lasih joh lam ih poon kata.
29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither have I at any time transgressed thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
Eno heh wah asuh liita, ‘Sokthaak hang, paangtang ih ngah ih an suh dah likhiik ih reeraang pakna lang, an jeng uh lanaan daan thang ah. Eno an ih ngah suh tumjih kohalang? Nga joonte damdoh roong joon phaksat suh ki esiit taan uh tatek haat thuk rang!
30 But as soon as this thy son had come, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
Eno arah an sah rah ih an dowa nyamka ah pheesuh hoono hansangte minuh damdi ngun loong ah thaaja kaat ano, ngaakwang hala asuh an ih maan elongthoon ah kadook kohu nih!’
31 And he said to him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
‘Nga sah,’ heh wah ih ngaakbaatta, ‘An ah aani saarookwih nga damdi, eno jirep nga dowa loong ah an raangtaan.
32 It was right that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
Erah nang ih bah seng loong ih tenroon lam ih thong room phaksah theng, tumeah an no ah tek nawa, we ngaakthingla, heh jen mat eta, rah we jap jamhi.”
