Lukaj 15
1 A JAUNOPWEI o me dipan akan karoj ap kai don i pwen ron i.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
2 A Parijar o jaunkawewe kan lipaned indada: Ol men et kin kompokeki me dipan akan o ian irail jakajak.
The Pharisees [Separated] and the Torah-Teachers murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
3 A a kotin majani on irail karajeraj wet:
He told them this parable.
4 Ij aramaj re omail me na jip epuki, a ma amen irail jalonalar me jo pan pwilikidi ir duekduemen nan wel ap raparapaki me jalonalar, lao a pan diarada i?
“Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
5 A lao diarada i, a kidan pon pop a pereperen.
When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 A lao pure don deu a, a kin eker pena kompokepa kan o men imp a kan indai on irail: Komail ian ia perenda, pwe i diaradar nai jip me jalonalar.
When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’
7 I indai on komail, nan iduen peren pil pan mi nanlan pweki me dipan me ta men, me kalula, jan duekduemen me pun ap jota mau on kalula.
I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who does teshuvah ·turn repent·, than over ninety-nine upright people who need no teshuvah ·complete repentance·.
8 O ij li o me na denar eijok, eu ap jalonala jan, me jo pan ijikada lamp o koke im o, o raparapaki mau, lao a pan diarada?
Or what woman, if she had ten drachma [est. 0.35 oz; est. 10 g] coins, if she lost one drachma [est. 0.035 oz; est. 1 g] coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
9 A lao diaradar i, a kin eker pena kompokepa kan o men imp a kan indai on irail: Komail ian ia perenda, pwe i diarada ai denar o, me jalonalar.
When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma [est. 0.035 oz; est. 1 g] which I had lost.’
10 Nan I indai on komail, iduen peren mi ren tounlan en Kot akan, pweki me dipan me ta men, me kalula.
Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner making teshuvah ·complete repentance·.”
11 A kotin majani: Aramaj amen mia, me na ol riamen.
He said, “A certain man had two sons.
12 A me tikitik re’ra indai on jam a: Jam ai, kotiki don ia pwaij ai en jojo, me udan ai. I ari nene on ira ara dipijou kan.
The younger of them said to his father, ‘Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, give me my share of your property.’ He divided his livelihood between them.
13 A murin ran akai me tikitik ren ol oko ki pena a dipijou karoj, ap jailokalan jap doo, waja a kajela mal a kapwa kan nin tiak jued.
Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
14 A lao kamuje weita a kapwa karoj, lek lapalap ap pwaida jap o, i ari dupokalar.
When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
15 I ap koieila dodok ren me pweledan jap o men. I ap kadarala i, pwen kamana na pwik kan.
He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16 I ari inon ion, kankan wan tuka kai, me pwik kin namenam, a jota me mueid on i.
He wanted to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
17 A kadekadeo i lao lolekonalar, ap indada: Ladu me depa mi ren jam ai, me kan ar mana me rak, a nai pan mekila jo kan ai mana.
But when he came to himself he said, ‘How many hired servants of my Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!
18 I pan uda purela ren jam ai indai on i: Jam ai, i wiadar dip on nanlan o on komui.
I will get up and go to my Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, and will tell him, “Abba ·Father·, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight.
19 I jolar waron adaneki noumui putak, komui ari wia kin ia ladu’mui men.
I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
20 I ari uda purela ren jam a. A ni a mi waja doo, jam a kilanada i, ap pokela, pitipiti don i o polodi i, metik i.
“He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 A putak o indai on i: Jam ai, i wiadar dip on nanlan o on komui, i jolar war on adaneki noumui putak.
The son said to him, ‘Abba ·Father·, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 A jam majani on na ladu kan: Wado likau kajampwal o kalikauwia kida i, o ki on rin ni jendin pa a, o jut ni na a kan.
“But the Abba father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.
23 O wado kau pul wi o kamela, pwe kitail en kan o pereperen.
Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate;
24 Pwe nai putak men et melar ap mauredar, a jalonalar ap diarokadar. Irail ari perendar.
for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’ They began to celebrate.
25 A na putak laud mi nan jap o. Ni a pure don koren ion im o, ap ronadar kakaul o kakalek,
“Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Ap kalelapok ren ladu men duen ar wiawia.
He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on.
27 A indan i: Ri omui ol puredo, jam omui ap kamela kau pul wi o, pwe a diaradar I memaur o kelail.
He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
28 A ap makara kida o jota men pedelon, jam a ap pedoi don re a poekipoeki.
But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore his father came out, and begged him.
29 A a japen indan jam a: Kom mani, par toto me i papa komui, o i jaikenta kawela eu omui majan akan, a kom jota kotiki on ia kijin kut amen, i en kamadipeki kompoke pai kan.
But he answered his Abba father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
30 A noumui putak men et lao kodo, murin a kamuje wei a dipijou ren me jued akan, komui ap ijik on i kau pul wi o.
But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
31 Jam a ap majani on i: Nai jeri, koe kin mimieta re ian jau karoj, o ai meakaroj me om.
“He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
32 Me mau, koe en peren o injenemau. Pwe ri om ol men et melar, ap mauredar, a jalonalar ap diarokadar.
But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
