Luuqaasa 15
1 Issi gallas qaraxa qanxeyssatinne nagaranchchoti Yesuusa timirttiya si7anaw iya yuushuwan shiiqidosona.
Now all the tax collectors and other sinners were coming to Jesus to listen to him.
2 Shin Farisaawetinne higge asttamaareti, “Hayssi uray nagaranchchota shiishidi ekkees, enttara issife mees” yaagidi zuuzummidosona.
Both the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled to each other, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and even eats with them.”
3 Yesuusi yaagidi hayssa leemiso enttaw odis;
Jesus 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?
“Which one of you, if he has a hundred sheep and then loses one of them, will not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the lost one until he finds it?
5 Demmida wode ufayttidi ba gannan tookkidi,
Then when he has found it, he lays it across his shoulders and rejoices.
6 ba soo simmees. Ba laggettanne shoorota issife xeegidi, ‘Dhayida ta dorssaa demmas, taara issife ufayttite’ yaagees.
When he comes to the house, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.'
7 Hessadakka, maaroti koshshonna uddufun tammanne uddufun xillotappe aathidi maarotan geliya issi nagaranchchuwa gaason salon gita ufayssi gidees.
I say to you that even so, there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
8 “Woykko tammu biri de7iya issi maccasiya tammaafe issiya dhayikko demmana gakkanaw xomppe oythada keethaa pittada mintha koyonnara oonee?
Or what woman who has ten silver coins, if she were to lose one coin, would not light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she has found it?
9 Demmida wode ba laggettanne ba shoorota xeegada ‘Dhayida ta issi bira demmida gisho taara wolla ufayttite’ yaagawusu.
When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost.'
10 Si7ite, hessa mela issi maarotethan geliya nagaranchchuwan Xoossaa kiitanchchota sinthan ufayssi gidees” yaagis.
Even so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
11 Zaaridi Yesuusi, “Issi uraas nam77u nayti de7oosona.
Then Jesus 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 the wealth that falls to me.' So he divided his property between them.
13 Guutha gallasappe guye kaalo na7ay ba gishuwa ubbaa qachchi ekkidi haaho biitta bis. Yan alttacan shaluwa toochchidi onggis.
Not many days later, the younger son gathered together all he owned and went to a country far away, and there he wasted all his wealth by living recklessly.
14 I baw de7iyaba ubbaa wurssidaappe guye he biitta ubban mino koshi keyin metootis.
Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine spread through that country, and he began to be in need.
15 Hessa gisho, he biittaa asaappe issuwa soo gaata gelis. Uray iya guduntho heemmana mela ba moothaa yeddis.
He went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16 Gudunthoti miya harquwafe maanaw amottis, shin iyokka iyaw immiya asi benttibeenna.
He would gladly have eaten the carob pods that the pigs ate, because no one gave him anything.
17 Wozani simmin, ‘Aappun ta aawa aylletas kathi wora wodhdhin ta hayssan koshara hayqqanaw gakkadina?’
But when the young son came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough food, and I am here, dying from hunger!
18 Denddada ta aawakko bada, ‘Ta aawaw, salon Xoossaa, sa7an nena qohas.
I will leave here and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
19 Hizappe ne na7a geetettada xeegettanaw taw bessonna gisho, ne son de7iya aylletappe issuwada tana payda’ yaagana” yaagis.
I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired servants.”'
20 Hessa gisho, denddidi ba aawakko bis. “Hanoshin, I buroo haahon de7ishin aaway qadhettidi, iyaakko woxxi bidi idimmidi yeeris.
So the young son left and came toward his father. While he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and he ran and embraced him and kissed him.
21 Na7aykka, ‘Ta aawaw salon Xoossaa, sa7an nena ta qohas. Hizappe ne na7a geetettada xeegettanaw bessike’ yaagis.
The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
22 “Iya aaway aylleta xeegidi, ‘Ellesidi ubbaafe lo77o gidida ma7o ehidi iya mayzite; iya biradhdhen sagaayo, iya tohuwan caamma aathite.
The father said to his servants, 'Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet.
23 Modhdho gatarmentho ehidi shukkite, moos, ufayttoos.
Then bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us celebrate with a feast!
24 Ta na7ay hayssi hayqqis, shin ha77i paxis; dhays, shin benttis’ yaagis. Hessafe guye, ufayetethi oykkidosona.
For my son was dead, and now he is alive. He was lost, and now he is found.' Then they began to celebrate.
25 “He wode bayra na7ay goshsha gaden de7ees. Yaappe yishe soo matishin yethinne gufa girssi si7is.
Now his older son was out in the field. As he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 I, aylletappe issuwa xeegidi haniyabay aybeekko eranaw oychchis.
He called to one of the servants and asked what these things might be.
27 Aylley, ‘Ne ishay saro yida gisho ne aaway modhdho gatarmentho iyaw shukkis’ yaagis.
The servant said to him, 'Your brother has come home and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has returned safely.'
28 “Bayra ishay yilotidi soo gelanawukka koyibeenna. Aaway kare keyidi soo gelana mela iya woossis.
The older son was angry and would not go in, and his father came out and begged 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 the older son answered and said to his father, 'Look, these many years I slaved for you, and I never broke a rule of yours, and yet you never gave me a young goat that I might celebrate with my friends,
30 Hanoshin, hayssi ne na7ay ne shaluwa laymatara doomisidi yin modhdho gatarmentho shukkadasa’” yaagis.
but when your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed for him the fattened calf.'
31 “Aawaykka, ‘Ta na7aw, neeni ubba wode taara de7aasa, tabay ubbay neessa.
The father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
32 Hayssi ne ishay hayqqis, shin paxis; dhays, shin benttis. Hessa gisho, daro ufayttanaw bessees’ yaagana” yaagis.
But it was proper for us to feast and be happy, for this brother of yours was dead, and is now alive; he was lost, and has now been found.'”
