Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
A JAUNOPWEI o me dipan akan karoj ap kai don i pwen ron i.
2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
A Parijar o jaunkawewe kan lipaned indada: Ol men et kin kompokeki me dipan akan o ian irail jakajak.
3 He told them this parable:
A a kotin majani on irail karajeraj wet:
4 “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
Ij aramaj re omail me na jip epuki, a ma amen irail jalonalar me jo pan pwilikidi ir duekduemen nan wel ap raparapaki me jalonalar, lao a pan diarada i?
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
A lao diarada i, a kidan pon pop a pereperen.
6 When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’
A lao pure don deu a, a kin eker pena kompokepa kan o men imp a kan indai on irail: Komail ian ia perenda, pwe i diaradar nai jip me jalonalar.
7 I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
I indai on komail, nan iduen peren pil pan mi nanlan pweki me dipan me ta men, me kalula, jan duekduemen me pun ap jota mau on kalula.
8 “Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
O ij li o me na denar eijok, eu ap jalonala jan, me jo pan ijikada lamp o koke im o, o raparapaki mau, lao a pan diarada?
9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’
A lao diaradar i, a kin eker pena kompokepa kan o men imp a kan indai on irail: Komail ian ia perenda, pwe i diarada ai denar o, me jalonalar.
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
Nan I indai on komail, iduen peren mi ren tounlan en Kot akan, pweki me dipan me ta men, me kalula.
11 He said, “A certain man had two sons.
A kotin majani: Aramaj amen mia, me na ol riamen.
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
A me tikitik re’ra indai on jam a: Jam ai, kotiki don ia pwaij ai en jojo, me udan ai. I ari nene on ira ara dipijou kan.
13 Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
A murin ran akai me tikitik ren ol oko ki pena a dipijou karoj, ap jailokalan jap doo, waja a kajela mal a kapwa kan nin tiak jued.
14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
A lao kamuje weita a kapwa karoj, lek lapalap ap pwaida jap o, i ari dupokalar.
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
I ap koieila dodok ren me pweledan jap o men. I ap kadarala i, pwen kamana na pwik kan.
16 He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
I ari inon ion, kankan wan tuka kai, me pwik kin namenam, a jota me mueid on i.
17 But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!
A kadekadeo i lao lolekonalar, ap indada: Ladu me depa mi ren jam ai, me kan ar mana me rak, a nai pan mekila jo kan ai mana.
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
I pan uda purela ren jam ai indai on i: Jam ai, i wiadar dip on nanlan o on komui.
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
I jolar waron adaneki noumui putak, komui ari wia kin ia ladu’mui men.
20 “He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
I ari uda purela ren jam a. A ni a mi waja doo, jam a kilanada i, ap pokela, pitipiti don i o polodi i, metik i.
21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
A putak o indai on i: Jam ai, i wiadar dip on nanlan o on komui, i jolar war on adaneki noumui putak.
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
A jam majani on na ladu kan: Wado likau kajampwal o kalikauwia kida i, o ki on rin ni jendin pa a, o jut ni na a kan.
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
O wado kau pul wi o kamela, pwe kitail en kan o pereperen.
24 for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
Pwe nai putak men et melar ap mauredar, a jalonalar ap diarokadar. Irail ari perendar.
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
A na putak laud mi nan jap o. Ni a pure don koren ion im o, ap ronadar kakaul o kakalek,
26 He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
Ap kalelapok ren ladu men duen ar wiawia.
27 He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
A indan i: Ri omui ol puredo, jam omui ap kamela kau pul wi o, pwe a diaradar I memaur o kelail.
28 But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
A ap makara kida o jota men pedelon, jam a ap pedoi don re a poekipoeki.
29 But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
A a japen indan jam a: Kom mani, par toto me i papa komui, o i jaikenta kawela eu omui majan akan, a kom jota kotiki on ia kijin kut amen, i en kamadipeki kompoke pai kan.
30 But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
A noumui putak men et lao kodo, murin a kamuje wei a dipijou ren me jued akan, komui ap ijik on i kau pul wi o.
31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
Jam a ap majani on i: Nai jeri, koe kin mimieta re ian jau karoj, o ai meakaroj me om.
32 But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
Me mau, koe en peren o injenemau. Pwe ri om ol men et melar, ap mauredar, a jalonalar ap diarokadar.
