Luke 15
1 Sie len ah ke mwet eisani tax ac mwet koluk puspis saya fahsreni in lohng luti lun Jesus,
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were approaching him to hear him.
2 mwet Pharisee ac mwet luti Ma Sap uh mutawauk in torkaskas ac fahk, “Mwet se inge eisani mwet koluk ac el welulos pac mongo!”
And the Pharisees and the scholars murmured, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them.
3 Ouinge Jesus el fahk pupulyuk se inge nu selos:
And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
4 “Fin sie suwos oasr sheep siofok natul, ac soko tuhlac, mea el ac oru? Ya el ac tia filiya ma eungoul eu inima an ac som suk ma soko ma tuhlac nwe ke na el konauk?
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 Ke el konalak el ac arulana engan, na el ac srakalak nu finpisal,
And when he finds it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 ac usal folokla nu yen sel ah. Na el ac pangoneni mwet kawuk lal ac mwet tulan lal ac fahk nu selos, ‘Fahsru wiyu engan, mweyen nga konauk sheep soko nutik ma tuhlac!’
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 Nga fahk nu suwos, in ouiya se pacna inge, ac fah oasr engan lulap inkusrao ke sie mwet koluk su auliyak, liki mwet suwoswos eungoul eu su nunku mu elos tia enenu in auliyak.
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 “Ku sie mutan fin oasr ipin mani singoul lal, ac sie tuhlac, mea el ac oru? Ya el ac tia akosak lam uh, imonla lohm uh, ac moniyuk in suk nwe ke na el konauk?
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 Ke pacl se el konauk uh el ac pangoneni mwet kawuk lal ac mwet tulan lal ac fahk nu selos, ‘Fahsru wiyu engan, mweyen nga konauk ipin mani se luk ma tuhlac!’
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 Nga fahk nu suwos, in ouiya se na inge, yohk engan yurin lipufan lun God ke sie mwet koluk su auliyak.”
Thus I say to you, there becomes joy in the presence of the agents of God over one sinner who repents.
11 Ac Jesus el sifilpa fahk, “Oasr wen luo nutin sie mwet.
And he said, A certain man had two sons,
12 Wen se ma fusr ah fahk nu sin papa tumal, ‘Papa, ase nu sik inge ip luk ke mwe usru lom uh.’ Ouinge papa sac kitalik usru lal nu seltal.
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 Tukun kutu len, wen se ma fusr ah el eisani ma lal nukewa ac som nu ke sie facl loessula, ac sununtei mani lal uh ke ma na wangin sripa.
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 Tukun el sisla ma lal nukewa, na sie sracl lulap sikyak in facl sac, ac el muta in kwaco na lulap.
And when he spent all, a mighty famine developed in that country, and he began to be in want.
15 Ke ma inge el som ac sukok orekma yurin sie mwet in facl sac, su supwalla nu inima lal in liyaung pig uh.
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 El kena akkihpye insial ke kulun bean nun pig uh, a wanginna mwet sang nu sel.
And he longed to fill his belly from the husks that the swine ate, and no man gave to him.
17 Tok, el asmakla ac nunkauk in el mu, ‘Yolyak mwe mongo nun mwet orekma lun papa tumuk, a nga akuran misa ke masrinsral!
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 Inge nga ac tuyak ac folokla nu yurin papa tumuk ac fahk nu sel, “Papa, nga orekma koluk lain God ac lain kom.
After rising, I will go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight.
19 Tia fal in sifil pangpang nga wen nutum. Oreyu oana sie sin mwet orekma lom.’”
I am no more worthy to be called thy son. Make me as one of thy hired men.
20 Ke ma inge, el tuyak ac folokla nu yurin papa tumal. “Ke el srakna fahsr loesla liki lohm sel uh, papa tumal ah liyalak ac arulana pakomutal, ac el kasrusr nu yurin wen natul, kafiselma inpaol ac ngok mutal.
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 Na wen sac fahk, ‘Papa, nga orekma koluk lain God ac lain kom. Tia fal in sifilpa pangpang nga wen nutum.’
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 Tusruktu papa sac fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, ‘Sulaklak, use sie nuknuk na kato ac sang nokmulang. Sang pac sie ring nu ke paol, ac fahluk nu ke nial.
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 Na kowos som ac use cow fusr soko ma fact oemeet uh ac uniya, kut in orek kufwa ac engan.
And having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we will be cheerful,
24 Mwehen wen se nutik inge tuh misa, ac inge el sifil moul; el tuhlac, ac inge koneyukyak el.’ Ouinge kufwa ah mutawauk.
because this my son was dead, and became alive again. And he was lost, and is found. And they began to be cheerful.
25 “In pacl se inge, wen se ma matu ah orekma oasr inimae. Ke el foloko ac apkuranyang nu ke lohm uh, el lohng pusren mwe on ac onsrosro.
But his elder son was in a field. And while coming, having approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Na el pangonma sie sin mwet kulansap uh ac siyuk sel, ‘Mea orek uh?’
And having summoned one of the boys, he inquired what these things might be.
27 Ac mwet kulansap sac fahk, ‘Tamulel se lom el foloko, ac papa tomom el uniya cow fusr soko ma fact oemeet uh, mweyen wen se natul ah painmoul foloko ac ku na.’
And he said to him, Thy brother arrived, and thy father has killed the fatted calf, because he received him back healthy.
28 Wen se ma matu arulana kasrkusrak, ac tia lungse utyak nu in lohm ah. Ouinge papa tumal el tufoki ac kwafe elan utyak.
But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore, his father having come out, he called him.
29 Tusruktu el topuk papa tumal ac fahk, ‘Liye, yac puspis nga orekma nu sum oana sie mwet foko, ac tiana seakos ma sap lom uh. Ac mea kom se nu sik? Ne nani soko, kom tia pac use nga in orek kufwa kac yurin mwet kawuk luk uh!
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 A wen se nutum inge el sununtei ma lom nukewa yurin mutan kosro su eis molin kosro lalos, ac ke el foloko kom uniya cow fusr soko ma fact oemeet uh nu sel!’
But when this thy son came, who has devoured thy living with harlots, thou killed for him the fatted calf.
31 Papa sac fahk nu sel, ‘Wen nutik, kom muta yuruk pacl nukewa, ac ma luk nukewa ma lom.
And he said to him, Child, thou are always with me, and all my things are yours.
32 A kut enenu na in orek kufwa ac engan, mweyen tamulel se lom inge el misa ac sifil moul. El tuhlac, ac inge sifil koneyukyak el.’”
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.
