Luke 15
1 Now the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners were everywhere in the habit of coming close to Him to listen to Him;
A SAUNOPWEI o me dipan akan karos ap kai dong i pwen rong i.
2 and this led the Pharisees and the Scribes indignantly to complain, saying, "He gives a welcome to notorious sinners, and joins them at their meals!"
A Parisär o saunkawewe kan lipaned indada: Ol men et kin kompokeki me dipan akan o iang irail sakasak.
3 So in figurative language He asked them,
A a kotin masani ong irail karaseras wet:
4 "Which of you men, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in their pasture and go in search of the lost one till he finds it?
Is aramas re omail me na sip epuki, a ma amen irail salongalar me so pan pwilikidi ir duekduemen nan wel ap raparapaki me salongalar, lao a pan diarada i?
5 And when he has found it, he lifts it on his shoulder, glad at heart.
A lao diarada i, a kidang pon pop a pereperen.
6 Then coming home he calls his friends and neighbours together, and says, 'Congratulate me, for I have found my sheep--the one I had lost.'
A lao pure dong deu a, a kin eker pena kompokepa kan o men imp a kan indai ong irail: Komail iang ia perenda, pwe i diaradar nai sip me salongalar.
7 I tell you that in the same way there will be rejoicing in Heaven over one repentant sinner--more rejoicing than over ninety-nine blameless persons who have no need of repentance.
I indai ong komail, nan iduen peren pil pan mi nanlang pweki me dipan me ta men, me kalula, sang duekduemen me pung ap sota mau ong kalula.
8 "Or 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 till she finds it?
O is li o me na denar eisok, eu ap salongala sang, me so pan isikada lamp o koke im o, o raparapaki mau, lao a pan diarada?
9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, and says, "'Congratulate me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.'
A lao diaradar i, a kin eker pena kompokepa kan o men imp a kan indai ong irail: Komail iang ia perenda, pwe i diarada ai denar o, me salongalar.
10 "I tell you that in the same way there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one repentant sinner."
Nan I indai ong komail, iduen peren mi ren tounlang en Kot akan, pweki me dipan me ta men, me kalula.
11 He went on to say, "There was a man who had two sons.
A kotin masani: Aramas amen mia, me na ol riamen.
12 The younger of them said to his father, "'Father, give me the share of the property that comes to me.' "So he divided his wealth between them.
A me tikitik re’ra indai ong sam a: Sam ai, kotiki dong ia pwais ai en soso, me udan ai. I ari nene ong ira ara dipisou kan.
13 No long time afterwards the younger son got all together and travelled to a distant country, where he wasted his money in debauchery and excess.
A murin ran akai me tikitik ren ol oko ki pena a dipisou karos, ap sailokalang sap doo, wasa a kasela mal a kapwa kan nin tiak sued.
14 At last, when he had spent everything, there came a terrible famine throughout that country, and he began to feel the pinch of want.
A lao kamuse weita a kapwa karos, lek lapalap ap pwaida sap o, i ari dupokalar.
15 So he went and hired himself to one of the inhabitants of that country, who sent him on to his farm to tend swine;
I ap koieila dodok ren me pweledan sap o men. I ap kadarala i, pwen kamanga na pwik kan.
16 and he longed to make a hearty meal of the pods the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
I ari inong iong, kangkang wantuka kai, me pwik kin namenam, a sota me mueid ong i.
17 "But on coming to himself he said, "'How many of my father's hired men have more bread than they want, while I here am dying of hunger!
A kadekadeo i lao lolekongalar, ap indada: Ladu me depa mi ren sam ai, me kan ar manga me rak, a ngai pan mekila so kan ai manga.
18 I will rise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you:
I pan uda purela ren sam ai indai ong i: Sam ai, i wiadar dip ong nanlang o ong komui.
19 I no longer deserve to be called a son of yours: treat me as one of your hired men.'
I solar warong adaneki noumui putak, komui ari wia kin ia ladu’mui men.
20 "So he rose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and pitied him, and ran and threw his arms round his neck and kissed him tenderly.
I ari uda purela ren sam a. A ni a mi wasa doo, sam a kilangada i, ap pokela, pitipiti dong i o polodi i, metik i.
21 "'Father,' cried the son, 'I have sinned against Heaven and before you: no longer do I deserve to be called a son of yours.'
A putak o indai ong i: Sam ai, i wiadar dip ong nanlang o ong komui, i solar war ong adaneki noumui putak.
22 "But the father said to his servants, "'Fetch a good coat quickly--the best one--and put it on him; and bring a ring for his finger and shoes for his feet.
A sam masani ong na ladu kan: Wado likau kasampwal o kalikauwia kida i, o ki ong ring ni sondin pa a, o sut ni nä a kan.
23 Fetch the fat calf and kill it, and let us feast and enjoy ourselves;
O wado kau pul wi o kamela, pwe kitail en kang o pereperen.
24 for my son here was dead and has come to life again: he was lost and has been found.' "And they began to be merry.
Pwe nai putak men et melar ap mauredar, a salongalar ap diarokadar. Irail ari perendar.
25 "Now his elder son was out on the farm; and when he returned and came near home, he heard music and dancing.
A na putak laud mi nan sap o. Ni a pure dong koren iong im o, ap rongadar kakaul o kakalek,
26 Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant.
Ap kalelapok ren ladu men duen ar wiawia.
27 "'Your brother has come,' he replied; 'and your father has had the fat calf killed, because he has got him home safe and sound.'
A indang i: Ri omui ol puredo, sam omui ap kamela kau pul wi o, pwe a diaradar i memaur o kelail.
28 "Then he was angry and would not go in. But his father came out and entreated him.
A ap makara kida o sota men pedelong, sam a ap pedoi dong re a poekipoeki.
29 "'All these years,' replied the son, 'I have been slaving for you, and I have never at any time disobeyed any of your orders, and yet you have never given me so much as a kid, for me to enjoy myself with my friends;
A a sapeng indang sam a: Kom mangi, par toto me i papa komui, o i saikenta kawela eu omui masan akan, a kom sota kotiki ong ia kisin kut amen, i en kamadipeki kompoke pai kan.
30 but now that this son of yours is come who has eaten up your property among his bad women, you have killed the fat calf for him.'
A noumui putak men et lao kodo, murin a kamuse wei a dipisou ren me sued akan, komui ap isik ong i kau pul wi o.
31 "'You my dear son,' said the father, 'are always with me, and all that is mine is also yours.
Sam a ap masani ong i: Nai seri, koe kin mimieta re i ansau karos, o ai meakaros me om.
32 We are bound to make merry and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life, he was lost and has been found.'"
Me mau, koe en peren o insenemau. Pwe ri om ol men et melar, ap mauredar, a salongalar ap diarokadar.
