Luka 15
1 Lani, ke a lonpo gaala leni ya tuonbiiddanba n sieni den kpendi Jesu kani, ki cengi o maama.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were approaching him to hear him.
2 Ke farisieninba leni ti yikodi tundkaaba ji bulni bulni, ki tua “O nilo ne gaani ti biidi danba hali ki di leni ba.”
And the Pharisees and the scholars murmured, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them.
3 Ke Jesu pua ba ya makpanjama ne, ki maadi ba
And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
4 “O laa nilo i siiga nni n baa pia pee kobga, ki biani payendo, ki kan ŋa piiyia n pee yia yeni, ku muagu nni, ki guani ki kpaani ya pia n bodi hali ki ban la o.
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 O ya la o, o ba bugi o o buapiadi po, ki mangi o pali boncianla.”
And when he finds it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 O ya pundi denpo, ba yini o dɔnlinba leni o kuantalieba ki maadi ba, “Mangi mani i pala leni nni, kelima n la n pia yua bi bodi.
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 Lanyapo, N yedi yi, ke li pamanli baa ye tanpoli kelima biiddanyendo lebdi o pali ki cie niteginkaaba piiyia n biyia yaaba n ki buali pali lebdima.
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 Bii, o laa pua n baa pia dibala piiga, ki biani dibayenli, ki kan cuoni ki fidsanga, ki tigni li dieli ki fiidi bonŋanla hali ki ban la li?
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 O ya la la, o ba yini o dɔnlinba leni o kuantalieba, ki maadi ba, “Mangi mani i pala leni nni, kelima n la n dibali yaali bi bodi.”
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 N yedi yi, biiddanyendo ya lebdi o pali, li tie pamancianli i, U Tienu malekinba po.”
Thus I say to you, there becomes joy in the presence of the agents of God over one sinner who repents.
11 Ke Jesu maadi, “Nilo den pia bijaba lie,
And he said, A certain man had two sons,
12 o bonwaalo po den yedi o báa, “N Báa, bɔgdi n faali biinu ki teni nni mɔlane” Ke o bɔgdi ba o piama.
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 Lan tieni dana waamu, ke o waalo po baani o bonkubkaali ki gedi hali ya dogu n fagi, lan dogu po i, ke o biidi o ligi, ki daa yaali n ki tie o po bonbuakaali mɔno, ki biidi o ligi mi bibiadyema nni.
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 Wan dini o ligi ki gbeni, mi konbiadma ń baa li dogu nni, mi koma ń gbadi o.
And when he spent all, a mighty famine developed in that country, and he began to be in want.
15 Ke o gedi ki mia li tuonli li dogtielo bá kani, ke o kaani o o kuanu nni ke wan ya guu i duoli.
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 O den ya baa ti duojiedi, o den ba di leni li pamanli, ama obá nan den ki puni o sanu.
And he longed to fill his belly from the husks that the swine ate, and no man gave to him.
17 Ama ki bonjaga yeni yama ń den guani, ke o maadi o pali nni, “N báa pia naacenba biŋa i, ke bi di ke jiema ki muani ba, ke mini nan ba kpe leni mi koma nekanba!
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 “N ba siedi ne, ki guani ki kuni n báa po, ki ban maadi o, “N Báa, n biidi U Tienu po leni a nunga nni.
After rising, I will go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight.
19 N ji ki dagdi min ya tie a biga, ga nni min tua a naacenba nni yendo.
I am no more worthy to be called thy son. Make me as one of thy hired men.
20 Ke ki bonjaga yeni siedi ki kuni o báa po. Wan dá den paa hali fagma, o báa den la o, ke ti niñipadi cuo o, ke o sani ki wobi o, ki muadi o tankpina po.
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 Ke ki biga maadi o, “N Báa, n biidi U Tienu po leni a nunga nni. N ji ki dagdi ŋan yini nni a biga.
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 Bibáa ń maadi o naacenba, “Cua mani leni liadŋanli, ki lani o, ki pilini o li nubiñinli leni ti taacaadi.
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 Diidi mani natonbikpanbili, ki kpa, ke tin tieni mi jaanma, ki mangi ti pala.
And having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we will be cheerful,
24 Kelima, n biga den kpe, ki ji pia li miali, o den bodi, ke n guani ki la o. Ke bi ji cili mi jaanma.
because this my son was dead, and became alive again. And he was lost, and is found. And they began to be cheerful.
25 Li sua ke o kpelo bi ye u kuanu po. Wan kpendi, ki nagi deni, ke o gbadi ki ciaga yani leni ku jeligu.
But his elder son was in a field. And while coming, having approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Wan yini naacenyendo ki buali lanya bona niima nni.
And having summoned one of the boys, he inquired what these things might be.
27 O naaciemo ń maadi o, “A waalo n kpeni, ke a báa kpaá li nakpanbili ki tieni mi jaanma kelima o guani ki kpeni leni laafia.”
And he said to him, Thy brother arrived, and thy father has killed the fatted calf, because he received him back healthy.
28 ki bikpelga pali ń be, wan yie ke o kan kua deni, o báa ń ña ki baagi o.
But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore, his father having come out, he called him.
29 Ama o kpelo ń jiini ki maadi o báa, “Diidi, bina ŋa n yeni, ke n tuuni a po a tuona, n nan ki kpeli ki tudi a nunga nni, Ama a nan ki kpeli ki puni nni bá ŋɔtonpanli, ke min tieni mi jaanma leni n dɔnlinba,
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 Ama A bijua yua n biidi a ŋalmani yeni a poconcona ń kpeni, ke a nan kpaá o po naatonkpanbili.
But when this thy son came, who has devoured thy living with harlots, thou killed for him the fatted calf.
31 O báa ń maadi o, “N bijua, fini li ye leni nni daali kuli, ke min die yaali kuli tie a yaali i.
And he said to him, Child, thou are always with me, and all my things are yours.
32 Ama, li bi dagdi leni tin tieni mi jaanma, ki mangi ti pala, kelima a waalo ne den kpe, ki ji pia li miali mɔla, O den bodi ke ti guani ki la o.
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.
