Luke 15 (ENA) · Opened

1Huban saŋ anɨm hɨlɨcɨ vivi hɨsɨŋ akape agɨlaŋ hula hulaŋ lusɨŋ sɨbɨlɨ hɨsɨŋ limu hɨhɨle agɨlaŋ hula Jisasɨ dɨ pɨŋ vehavɨmi. Nudɨ ciaŋ agadɨ igahɨlɨbalu aba vehavɨmi.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Ve hɨniavɨdaci Falisi hɨdɨlɨ agɨlaŋ hula Asɨ dɨ ciaŋ vɨdɨvɨdɨŋ agadɨ lamalubilubi hɨsɨŋ hulaŋ agɨlaŋ hula Jisasɨ dɨ hulɨpɨŋ ciaŋ nameŋ abavɨmi. Hulaŋ nagaŋ lusɨŋ sɨbɨlɨ hɨsɨŋ agɨlaŋ hula pam hafala hafala sɨmɨŋ navɨlalɨ uavɨmi.So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Lɨhavɨci Jisasɨ nulɨdɨ hɨve lama abami.Then Jesus told them this parable:

4Naludɨ hulaŋ mu agaŋ nɨbu sabaŋ sipsipɨ 100 daŋ hɨnivi uami. Lɨci sabaŋ sipsipɨ mu agaŋ ua sɨvɨlɨvi uami. Sɨvɨlɨci sabaŋ sipsipɨ 99 agɨladɨ heŋ valɨci hɨniavɨdaci uavɨla sabaŋ sipsipɨ mu agadɨ suhɨla suhɨla hɨda vivi uami.“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?

5Viavɨla sabaŋ sipsipɨ agadɨ nudɨ macɨŋ hɨvɨ havavɨla hɨjɨŋalaŋala uleŋ via vevi uami. Vevɨla nudɨ haiabɨla pam hɨsɨŋ agɨladɨdaŋ nudɨ nagɨlihalinu huaci huaci agɨladɨdaŋ abɨci vehavɨvi uami.

Iadɨ sabaŋ sipsipɨ mu sɨvɨlɨci ala cɨhu ci vin aba abɨvi uami.And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

7Lavɨla abami. Viaŋ naludɨ abadin agadɨ igahɨlɨhalaŋ uami. Hulaŋ 99 Asɨ dɨ ciaŋ sɨhɨvia lubiahɨlavɨlalɨ agɨlaŋ abavɨvi uami. Alaŋ lusɨŋ sɨbɨlɨ apalɨ hɨnilu aba abavɨvi uami. Lɨhavɨci Asɨ dɨ haiabɨla hɨsɨŋ agɨlaŋ nulɨsaŋ hɨjɨŋalavɨvi uami. Agadɨ ala hulaŋ mu lusɨŋ sɨbɨlɨ hɨsɨŋ agaŋ lusɨŋ sɨbɨlɨ sɨbɨlɨ agɨladɨ valɨci uami. Asɨ dɨ haiabɨla hɨsɨŋ agɨlaŋ hekɨlɨ sɨbaŋ hɨjɨŋalavɨvi uami. Sabaŋ sipsipɨ sɨvɨlɨci suhɨla suhɨla hɨda vici hɨjɨŋalavɨvi hameŋ ala hɨjɨŋalavɨvi uami.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.

8Lavɨla Jisasɨ cɨhu abami. Iamɨgali mu anɨm hɨlɨcɨ human limu limu fɨhala agɨladɨ via hɨnivi uami. Lɨci anɨm hɨlɨcɨ mu uleŋ muji mɨga sɨvɨlɨci akɨ lɨvi uami. Nɨbu iaha unɨ lubilama ludɨliŋ viavɨla lulalula sɨhɨvia sɨbaŋ suhɨlɨvi uami. Suhɨla suhɨla hɨda viavɨla heŋ valɨvi uami.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?

9Anɨm hɨlɨcɨ agadɨ viavɨla nudɨ haiabɨla pam hɨsɨŋ agɨladɨdaŋ nudɨ nagɨlihalinu huaci huaci agɨladɨdaŋ abɨci vehavɨci abɨvi uami. Namɨlaŋ viaŋ hula hɨjɨŋalɨhalaŋ aba abɨvi uami. Iadɨ anɨm hɨlɨcɨ mɨga sɨvɨlɨci ala suhɨla suhɨla hɨda cɨhu ci vin aba abɨvi uami.And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Lavɨla cɨhu abami. Viaŋ naludɨ abadin agadɨ igahɨlɨhalaŋ uami. Hulaŋ mu nudɨ lusɨŋ sɨbɨlɨ agɨladɨ valɨci Asɨ dɨ ciaŋ hali hɨsɨŋ agɨlaŋ hameŋ laci ala hɨjɨŋalavɨvi uami.In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Lavɨla Jisasɨ cɨhu abami. Hulaŋ mu agaŋ ninaŋ ahica daŋ hɨnivi uami.Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Lɨci nudɨ ninaŋ mu Iagɨveŋ agaŋ iahavɨla iaganu dɨ abɨvi uami. Iavaŋ aba abɨvi uami. Iadɨ isaŋ sadaŋ iasadaŋ akuaba akuaba agɨladɨ labɨlavɨla iguha aba abɨvi uami.

13Lɨci hɨnimitavɨla Iagɨveŋ agaŋ akuaba akuaba agɨladɨ mutɨŋ hɨvɨ lama anɨm hɨlɨcɨ vivi uami. Anɨm hɨlɨcɨ agɨladɨ viavɨla iaha mu haiabɨla ataŋ uvi uami. La lusɨŋ sɨbɨlɨ sɨbɨlɨ vivi hɨnivi uami. Hameŋ lɨdɨŋ nudɨ anɨm hɨlɨcɨ agɨladɨ ahɨlɨci u fɨhalɨvi uami.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14Ahɨlɨci u fɨhalɨci hɨnidaci fɨli tɨbɨ nɨbu hɨnivi heŋ humɨgaŋ ibɨlibɨliŋ hekɨlɨ agaŋ iahɨvi uami. Lɨci nɨbu hɨdɨlɨ maha akuaba akuaba apalɨ sɨbaŋ hɨnivi uami.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Lavɨla iaha hulaŋ mu fɨli tɨbɨ heŋ hɨsɨŋ agadɨ hɨvɨ anɨm hɨlɨcɨ sibɨla viben aba lɨvi uami. Lɨci hulaŋ agaŋ nudɨ abɨci uavɨla sabaŋ agɨladɨ migɨla hɨnihɨni nulɨsaŋ sɨmɨŋ igunana hɨnivi uami.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16La igɨdaci sabaŋ agɨlaŋ akuaba akuaba sɨmɨŋ agɨladɨ sɨgɨtɨ navɨvi uami. Navɨdaci nɨbu avi akuaba akuaba sɨmɨŋ agɨladɨ sɨgɨtɨ nɨben aba lɨvi uami. Hulaŋ mu nusaŋ sɨmɨŋ ma igunavɨvi uami.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17Lɨhavɨci iaha hɨji huaci viavɨla abɨvi uami. Iadɨ iavaŋ dɨ sibɨla hɨsɨŋ hulemɨlɨ agɨlaŋ sɨmɨŋ akape daŋ hɨniavɨlalɨ aba abɨvi uami. Agadɨ ala viaŋ neŋ hɨnihɨni sɨmɨŋ saŋ hɨmɨlan aba abɨvi uami.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!

18Viaŋ iadɨ iavaŋ dɨ hɨvɨ cɨhu ala uben aba abɨvi uami. Uavɨla nameŋ abɨben aba abɨvi uami. Iavaŋ aba abɨben aba abɨvi uami. Viaŋ nama hula hugɨ daŋ hɨnidin aba abɨben aba abɨvi uami.

Uavɨla alahafia ninanu dɨ mɨhum iavɨvi uami.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.

21Lɨci ninanu agaŋ abɨvi uami. Iavaŋ aba abɨvi uami. Viaŋ nama hula hugɨ daŋ hɨnidin aba abɨvi uami. Asɨ hula avi hugɨ daŋ hɨnidin aba abɨvi uami. Iavaŋ viaŋ huaci hɨnilan lɨci nama iadɨ ninaŋ aba abɨvanaŋ aba abɨvi uami.The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22Hameŋ abɨci ala iaganu agaŋ nudɨ sibɨla hɨsɨŋ hulemɨlɨ agɨladɨ ulɨci vehavɨci abɨvi uami.

Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
