Luuqaasa 15
1 Issi gallas qaraxa qanxeyssatinne nagaranchchoti Yesuusa timirttiya si7anaw iya yuushuwan shiiqidosona.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were approaching him to hear him.
2 Shin Farisaawetinne higge asttamaareti, “Hayssi uray nagaranchchota shiishidi ekkees, enttara issife mees” yaagidi zuuzummidosona.
And the Pharisees and the scholars murmured, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them.
3 Yesuusi yaagidi hayssa leemiso enttaw odis;
And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
4 “Hintte giddofe issuwas xeetu dorssati de7iyabaa gidikko enttafe issoy dhayikko uddufun tammanne uddufunata bazzon aggidi dhayoyssa demmana gakkanaw koyonnay 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 ufayttidi ba gannan tookkidi,
And when he finds it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 ba soo simmees. Ba laggettanne shoorota issife xeegidi, ‘Dhayida ta dorssaa demmas, taara issife ufayttite’ yaagees.
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 Hessadakka, maaroti koshshonna uddufun tammanne uddufun xillotappe aathidi maarotan geliya issi nagaranchchuwa gaason salon gita ufayssi gidees.
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 “Woykko tammu biri de7iya issi maccasiya tammaafe issiya dhayikko demmana gakkanaw xomppe oythada keethaa pittada mintha koyonnara 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 Demmida wode ba laggettanne ba shoorota xeegada ‘Dhayida ta issi bira demmida gisho taara wolla ufayttite’ yaagawusu.
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 Si7ite, hessa mela issi maarotethan geliya nagaranchchuwan Xoossaa kiitanchchota sinthan ufayssi gidees” yaagis.
Thus I say to you, there becomes joy in the presence of the agents of God over one sinner who repents.
11 Zaaridi Yesuusi, “Issi uraas nam77u nayti de7oosona.
And he said, A certain man had two sons,
12 Enttafe kaalo na7ay ba aawakko, ‘Ta aawaw, ne shaluwappe ta gishuwa taw imma’ yaagis. Aaway ba shaluwa ba naytas shaakkis.
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 Guutha gallasappe guye kaalo na7ay ba gishuwa ubbaa qachchi ekkidi haaho biitta bis. Yan alttacan shaluwa toochchidi onggis.
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 I baw de7iyaba ubbaa wurssidaappe guye he biitta ubban mino koshi keyin metootis.
And when he spent all, a mighty famine developed in that country, and he began to be in want.
15 Hessa gisho, he biittaa asaappe issuwa soo gaata gelis. Uray iya guduntho heemmana mela ba moothaa yeddis.
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 Gudunthoti miya harquwafe maanaw amottis, shin iyokka iyaw immiya asi benttibeenna.
And he longed to fill his belly from the husks that the swine ate, and no man gave to him.
17 Wozani simmin, ‘Aappun ta aawa aylletas kathi wora wodhdhin ta hayssan koshara hayqqanaw gakkadina?’
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 aawakko bada, ‘Ta aawaw, salon Xoossaa, sa7an nena qohas.
After rising, I will go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight.
19 Hizappe ne na7a geetettada xeegettanaw taw bessonna gisho, ne son de7iya aylletappe issuwada tana payda’ yaagana” yaagis.
I am no more worthy to be called thy son. Make me as one of thy hired men.
20 Hessa gisho, denddidi ba aawakko bis. “Hanoshin, I buroo haahon de7ishin aaway qadhettidi, iyaakko woxxi bidi idimmidi yeeris.
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 Na7aykka, ‘Ta aawaw salon Xoossaa, sa7an nena ta qohas. Hizappe ne na7a geetettada xeegettanaw bessike’ yaagis.
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 “Iya aaway aylleta xeegidi, ‘Ellesidi ubbaafe lo77o gidida ma7o ehidi iya mayzite; iya biradhdhen sagaayo, iya tohuwan 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 gatarmentho ehidi shukkite, moos, ufayttoos.
And having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we will be cheerful,
24 Ta na7ay hayssi hayqqis, shin ha77i paxis; dhays, shin benttis’ yaagis. Hessafe guye, ufayetethi oykkidosona.
because this my son was dead, and became alive again. And he was lost, and is found. And they began to be cheerful.
25 “He wode bayra na7ay goshsha gaden de7ees. Yaappe yishe soo matishin yethinne gufa girssi si7is.
But his elder son was in a field. And while coming, having approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 I, aylletappe issuwa xeegidi haniyabay aybeekko eranaw oychchis.
And having summoned one of the boys, he inquired what these things might be.
27 Aylley, ‘Ne ishay saro yida gisho ne aaway modhdho gatarmentho iyaw shukkis’ yaagis.
And he said to him, Thy brother arrived, and thy father has killed the fatted calf, because he received him back healthy.
28 “Bayra ishay yilotidi soo gelanawukka koyibeenna. Aaway kare keyidi soo gelana mela iya woossis.
But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore, his father having come out, he called him.
29 Shin I ba aawakko, ‘Hekko, hayssa mela laythi ta new aylletada ne kiitaappe issuwaka pacisonna new kiitettin ta ta laggetara ufayttana mela hari attoshin issi laaqa deeshe immabaakka.
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 Hanoshin, hayssi ne na7ay ne shaluwa laymatara doomisidi yin modhdho gatarmentho shukkadasa’” yaagis.
But when this thy son came, who has devoured thy living with harlots, thou killed for him the fatted calf.
31 “Aawaykka, ‘Ta na7aw, neeni ubba wode taara de7aasa, tabay ubbay neessa.
And he said to him, Child, thou are always with me, and all my things are yours.
32 Hayssi ne ishay hayqqis, shin paxis; dhays, shin benttis. Hessa gisho, daro ufayttanaw bessees’ yaagana” yaagis.
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.
