Luqaassa 15
1 Issi gallas qaraxa shiishizaytine nagaranchati wuri Yesussappe siyanas iza achch shiiqqida.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were approaching him to hear him.
2 Farsawetinne Xaafeti “ha addey nagaranchata ixxenna, istarakka mees” giidi ba garssan zigiretida.
And the Pharisees and the scholars murmured, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them.
3 Yesussaykka istas leemuso hiz gi yoottides
And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
4 “Inte giddofe issi uras xeetu dorssi diikko he xeetu dorssatape issina dhaykko atidda uddufun tammanne uddufunata denbban yeggidi dhayidayssa demmna gakanas koyana bonttay oonee?
What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go for that which was lost until he finds it?
5 Demmida wode ufaysara hashen tookki ekkidi
And when he finds it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 beso simmes, ba laggetanne guta asata issi bolla xeeyggidi (dhayida ta dorssiyo demmadis tanara issife ufa7etite) gandes.
And when he comes to the house, he calls together his men friends and his men neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.
7 Ta intes yootays (hessathokka maaroteth koshonta uddufun tammanne uddufun xillotappe maaretethan geliza issi nagaranchan salon ufayssa gidana.” )
I say to you, that thus there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of repentance.
8 Woyko issi tamu bira santimey diza maccashiya he tamappe issiniyadhaykko xomppe oythada demmna gakanas keeththa gars pitada lo7etha koyonta maccash oonee?
Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she finds it?
9 Izakka demmida wode ba laggetanne ba gutata issife xeeyggada “tappe dhayida bira santimeyo demmida gish tanara issife ufa7etite” gandus.
And when she has found it, she calls together her lady friends and lady neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, because I found the drachma that I lost.
10 Ta intes yootays “hessathokka maarotan geliza issi nagarancha uran Xoossa kiitanchata achchan ufays gidana”
Thus I say to you, there becomes joy in the presence of the agents of God over one sinner who repents.
11 Qassekka Yesussay asatas hizgides “issi uras nam77u nayti deetes.
And he said, A certain man had two sons,
12 Istappekka kaalo naazi ba aawa (aabo! nees diza miishshafe ta gish taas imma) gides. Aawaykka bees diza miishsha ba naytas gishides.”
and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his living.
13 Daro wode gam7onta dishe kaalo naazi ba miishsha wursi shiishshi ekkidi haho biitta biddes. Heenka bees diza miishsha go7ay bayndda coo mela dhaysides.
And not many days after, the younger son, having gathered all together, journeyed into a distant country, and there he squandered his wealth living recklessly.
14 Izikka bees dizaysa wursi wursidappe guyyen he biittan iita koshay denddini daro waaydes.
And when he spent all, a mighty famine developed in that country, and he began to be in want.
15 Hessa gish he dereni diza asappe issaadekko shiiqidees. He uraykka ba guddunth heemana mala gudduntha heemizasso yeddides.
And having gone, he was joined to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 Naazikka guddunthati miza harqqo maanaas amottides, shin hessakka immizaddey baa.
And he longed to fill his belly from the husks that the swine ate, and no man gave to him.
17 Gido attin iza wozinay simmida wode “ta aawa ashkkaratappe aappunappe kath tirpize shin tani hayssan gafan hayqqana matadinaa?
But when he came to himself, he said, How many hired men of my father's have abundance of loaves, but I am perishing with hunger.
18 Denddada ta aawa so baada (aabo! salon Xoossa: biittan nena ta qohadis.”)
After rising, I will go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight.
19 Haysappe guye “ta nena geetistada xeeyggistanas taas beesena: ne ashkkaratappe issa mala tana taybba” gides.
I am no more worthy to be called thy son. Make me as one of thy hired men.
20 Hessa gish dendidi ba aawakko biddes. gido attin buroo izi hahora yishin aaway beyidi michchettidinne izakko woxxi biiddi idimi oykkidi yerides.
And having risen, he went to his father. But while he was still distant, afar off, his father saw him and felt compassion. And having ran, he fell on his neck, and kissed him much.
21 Naazikka “aabo salon Xoossa, biittan nena ta qohadis, hayssafe guyyen ta ne na geetistada xeeyggistanas taas beesena” gides.
And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight. I am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 Gido attin aaway ashkkaratas eesottidi wursofe doorettida mayo ehidi mayzite iza biradhdhen yiichi, iza tohonkka caamma aathite.
But the father said to his bondmen, Bring forth the best robe and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and shoes for his feet.
23 Modhdho mirgo ehidi shukkite, miidi ufa7etos.
And having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we will be cheerful,
24 Haysi ta nay hayqqides shin paxides dhaydes shin beettides gides, hessafe guyyen ufa7eteth oykkida.
because this my son was dead, and became alive again. And he was lost, and is found. And they began to be cheerful.
25 Haysi hanniza wode bayra naazi goshsha son dees, heepekka simmidi so matida wode diitha durus siyides.
But his elder son was in a field. And while coming, having approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Izika ashkkaratappe issa xeeyggidi “hessi aazzee?” gi oychchides.
And having summoned one of the boys, he inquired what these things might be.
27 Ashkaarazikka “ne ishay yides, izi saronne lo7ooni simmida gish ne aaway handadho mirgo shukides” gides.
And he said to him, Thy brother arrived, and thy father has killed the fatted calf, because he received him back healthy.
28 Bayra ishazikka hanqqettidi so gelanaskka koybeynna. Aawaykka kare kezidi izi so gelana mala woosides.
But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore, his father having come out, he called him.
29 Gido attin izikka zaaridi aawas “hekko tani hayssa gakanas nees aylle mala oothadis, azazoppe isinokka pacisabeyke, gido attin ne ta laggetara ufa7istana mala issi deyshsha laaqqakka imabeyka,
But having answered, he said to his father, Lo, so many years do I serve thee, and I never passed by a commandment of thine, and yet thou never gave me a goat that I might be merry with my friends.
30 Gido attin haysi ne naazi nees dizaysa wursi laymatizaytara wursidi yishin handadho mirgo izas shukkadasa” gides
But when this thy son came, who has devoured thy living with harlots, thou killed for him the fatted calf.
31 Awaykka “ta nazo ne wurso wode tanara daassa, taas gididay wurikka neessa.
And he said to him, Child, thou are always with me, and all my things are yours.
32 Haysi ne ishay hayqqides shin paxides dhaydes shin beettides, hessa gish nuni ufa7istanas besses” gides.
But it was needful to make merry and be glad, because this thy brother was dead, and became alive again, and was lost, and was found.
