Luke 15 (AWK) · Opened

1PAPAI ġaiya bara uwa ġikouġ kin yantin telónai ġatun yarakaiwilluġ, ġurrulliko bon.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Ġatun koiya bara Parithaioiko ġatun ġarammateuko, wiyelliela, Unni ku̇ri murrȧrȧġ korien, noa uman barun yarakai-willuġ ġatun tatan noa barun katoa.So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Ġatun noa wiya barun unni parabol, wiyelliela,Then Jesus told them this parable:

4Ġan ku̇ri nurun kinbiruġ, hekaton ta ćipu ġikoúmba, wȧkȧl noa ba yuréa umȧmu̇n barun kinbiruġ, wiya, noa wunún barun nainty-nain ta koruġ ka, ġatun waita noa uwȧnu̇n na-uwil koa noa yuréa-matoara, kara-uwilli koa noa?“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?

5Ġatun karawolléu̇n noa ba, wúnkilléu̇n ġaiya noa bamirruġ ka ġikoug kin, pitȧllo ba.And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

6Ġatun uwa noa ba ġura kako, wiya noa barun kótita ġatun taraikan wiyellin barun, Pitȧllia kanwa emmouġ katoa; kulla baġ karawolléu̇n ćipu ta emmoúmba unni, yuréa ba kakulla.comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7Wiyan baġ nurun, yanti kiloa pitȧl kȧnȧn kauwȧllan moroko ka ba minki noa ba wakȧl yarakaikan, keawai barun kai murrȧrȧġ-tai tin nainty-nain ta tin, minki korien.I tell you that in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent.

8Ġa wonnuġ-ke nukuġ púndol arguro ten ta bounnoun kinba, yuréa bountoa ba umȧnu̇n wakȧl púndol, wiya, bountoa wirroġ-banún kaipuġ ġatun wirrillinu̇n wirrillikanneto kirra-kirra-uwilli koa bountoa?Or what woman who has ten silver coins and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her house, and search carefully until she finds it?

9Ġatun karawolléu̇n bountoa ba, wiya ġaiya bountoa ba kóti-ta ġatun taraikan tuiġko, wiyellin, Pitȧllia kauwa emmouġ katoa; kulla baġ karawolléu̇n yuréa bag ba umá.And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Yanti kiloa, wiyan baġ, nurun, unnuġ, ta pitȧl kȧtan mikan ta aġelo ka Eloi koba wakȧl lin ba yarakai-willuġ minki kȧnu̇n.In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Ġatun noa wiya, Taraito ku̇riko yinal bula-buloara ġikoúmba:Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Ġatan mittiko bulun kinbiruġ-ko wiya bon biyuġbai ġikoúmba, Biyuġ, ġuwa tia winta tullokan ka-uwil koa emmoúmba. Ġatun túnbilliela noa bulun tullokan.The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13Ġatun keawai kauwȧl-kauwȧl, korien ta purreȧġ ka yukita, kauma noa mittiko yinallo, ġatun waita noa uwa kaloġ koba, ġatun unta noa wari-wareka tullokan ġikoúmba pittelliġél la.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14Ġatun wari-wareka noa ba kirun, kauwȧl kakulla unta kunto korien; ġatun tanoa-kȧl-bo kakulla ġaiya noa kapirrikan.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Ġatun uwa ġaiya noa umulliko ku̇ri kako unta ko purrai ta ko; ġatun noa bon yuka ġikouġ, ka tako purrai tako ġiratimulliko buttikaġ, ko porȧk ko.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16Pitȧl ġaiya noa kakulla takilliko, ta-uwil ba buttikaġko: ġatun keawai ku̇riko bon ġupa.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17Ġatun noa kakilliela ba niuwoabo, wiyelliela ġaiya noa, Kauwȧl-kauwȧlla umullikan biyuġbai koba emmoúmba koba kunto kauwȧl barúnba takilliko ġatun ġukilliko, ġatun ġatoa kapirró wirribanbillin!Finally he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food, but here I am, starving to death!

18Bouġkullinún wal baġ, waita biyuġbai tako, ġatun wiyȧnu̇n wal bon, Biyuġ, yarakai baġ umá mikan ta moroko ka, ġatun ġirouġ kin,I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19Ġatun keawai baġ murrȧrȧġ korien wiya-uwil koa tia ġiroúmba yinal yitirra: umulla tia wakȧl yanti umullikan ġiroúmba.I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20Ġatun noa bouġkulléu̇n, uwa ġaiya noa biyuġbai tako. Wonto noa ba kaloġ ka kauwȧl kakulla, nakulla noa bon biyuġbai-to ġikoúmba-ko, minki ġaiya noa kakulla, murrá ġaiya noa, puntimulléu̇n ġaiya noa ġikouġ kin wuroka, ġatun búmbúmbea-kan ġaiya bon.So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still in the distance, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.

21Ġatun noa bon yinallo wiyá, Biyuġ, yarakai baġ umulléu̇n mikan ta moroko ka ġatun ġirouġ kin, keawai bag murrȧrȧġ korien wiya-uwil koa tia ġiroúmba yinal yitirra.The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22Wonto noa ba biyuġbaito wiya barun mankillikan ġiroúmba, Mara unnoa-unnuġ upilligél, ġatun upilla bon konéin kako, ġatun upilla riġ ġikouġ kin mȧttȧra, ġatun upilla bon tuġganoġ yulo ka ġikouġ kin:But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

23Ġatun mara tanan untiko buttikaġ italo ġiratimatoara kipai, ġatun turulla; tamunbilla ġearun, ġatun pitȧl koa ġéen kauwȧl:Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

24Koito ba unni emmoúmba yinal tetti kakulla, yakita ġaiya noa moron kȧtan: ġarawatilléún noa, ġatun yakita bummilléu̇n ġaiya bon. Ġatun pitȧl bara kakilli kolaġ.For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

25Unta ta ġarro ġikoúmba kakilliela upulliġél la purrai ta; ġatun uwolliela noa ba papai kokerȧ koba, ġurra noa tekki ġatun untelli ta.Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26Ġatun noa kaaipa wakȧl mankillikan, ġatun wiya minnuġ-ban ġali tara minariġ tin.So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27Ġatun wiya bon noa, Unni ta uwan ġiroúmba biġgai; ġatun ġiroúmba-ko biyuġbaito tura ġiratimatoara buttikaġ italo kipai ta, kulla wal pitȧl noa ġikouġ kai moron tin kȧtan.‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28Ġatun noa niuwara kakulla, keawai noa murruġ kolaġ uwa pa; yaki tin noa biyuġbai ġikoúmba uwa ġatun pirriralma bon.The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29Ġatun noa bon wiyayelliela ġikoúmba biyuġbai, Ela! kauwȧl-kauwȧlla wunȧlla umala baġ ġirouġ; keawai bag ġiroúmba wiyellikanne umá korien; ġatun keawai bi tia ġupa waréa buttikaġ kid, pitȧl koa tia ka-uwil baraj emmoúmba kótita:But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

30Wonto ba tanoa-bo ġiroúmba yinal uwa ġali, wari-wareka ġiroúmba tullokan yarakai-willuġ koa ko ġapal loa, tura ġaiya bi ġikouġ buttikaġ italo ġiratimatoara.But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31Ġatun noa wiya bon, Yinal, yellawan bi emmouġ kin yantikatai, ġatun yantin unni tara emmoúmba ġirouġ kin kȧnu̇n.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32Murrȧrȧġ ta kakulla takilliko ġatun pittelliko; koito ba unni ġiroúmba umbeara-kóġ tetti kakulla, ġatun moron katéakan; ġatun ġarawatilléún, ġatun bummilléún bon yakita.But it was fitting to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
