Luke 15 (GMVL) · Opened

1Issi gallas qaraxa shiishshizaytinne nagaranchchati wuri Yesusappe siyanaas iza achchi shiiqida.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Farsaawetinne Xaafeti, «Hayssi addezi nagaranchchata ixxenna; isttarakka mees» giidi ba giddon zuuzumettida.So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Yesusikka isttas leemiso hizgi yootides;Then Jesus told them this parable:

4«Intte giddofe issaades xeetu dorsi diikko he xeetu dorsatappe issina dhaykko attida uddufun tammanne uddufunata demban yeggidi dhaydayssa demmana gakkanaas koyana bonttay oonee?“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?

5Demmidi ufayssara hashen tookki ekkidi,And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

6baso simmees; ba laggetanne guta asata issi bolla xeygidi, ‹Dhayda ta dorsayo demmadis; tanara issife ufayettite› gaana.comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7Ta inttes yootays, ‹Hessaththoka maaroteth koshshontta uddufun tammanne uddufun xillotappe maareteththan geliza issi nagaranchchan salon ufays gidana.›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.

8«Woykko issi tammu bira santey diza maccassaya he tammaafe issineya dhaykko xomppe oyththada demmana gakkanaas keeththa gars pittada lo7eththa koyontta maccassi oonee?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?

9Izakka demmida wode ba laggetanne ba gutata issife xeygada, ‹Taappe dhayda bira santiyo demmida gishshas tanara issife ufayettite› gaandus.And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Ta inttes yootays; ‹Hessaththoka maarotan geliza issi nagaranchcha asan Xoossa kiitanchchata achchan ufays gidana.›In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11«Issaades nam7u nayti deettes.Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Isttafekka kaalo naazi ba aawaa, ‹Aabboo! Nees diza miishshaafe ta gishaa taas imma› gides. Aawaykka baas diza miishshaa ba naytas gishides.The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13«Daro wode gam7ontta dishe kaalo naazi ba miishshaa ubbaa shiishshi ekkidi haaho biitta bides; heenkka baas diza miishshaa go7ay baynda coo mela dhayssides.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14Izikka baas dizayssa ubbaa dhayssidaappe guye he biittan iita koshay dendiin daro waayettides.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Hessa gishshas he deren diza asaappe issaadeko shiiqides; izaadeyka ba guddunth heemmana mala guddunth heemmizasoho yeddides.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16Naazikka guddunththati miza harqqozappe maanaas amottides shin hessaka immizaadey beettibeenna.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17«Gido attiin iza wozinay simmida wode, ‹Ta aawa ashkarata aappunatappe kaththi palahizee shin tani hayssan gafan hayqqana matadinaa?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!

18Dendada ta aawa soo baada aabboo! Salon Xoossaa, sa7an ta nena qohadis.›I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19Hayssafe guye, ‹Tani ne naa geetettada xeygettanaas taas bessenna; ne ashkaratappe issaa mala tana qooda› gides.I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20Hessa gishshas dendidi ba aawaakko bides; gido attiin buro izi haahora yishin aaway beyi mishettidinne izakko woxxi biidi idimmi oykkidi yeerides.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.

21«Naazikka, ‹Aabboo! Salon Xoossaa, sa7an ta nena qohadis; hayssafe guye ta ne naa geetettada xeygettanaas taas bessenna› gides.The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22«Gido attiin aaway ashkaratas, ‹Eesotidi ubbaafe doorettida may7o ehidi mayzite; iza biradhdhen migido, iza tohonkka caamma aaththite.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.

23Modhdho mirgo boora ehidi shukkite; ane miidi ufayettoos.Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

24Hayssi ta naazi hayqqides shin paxides; dhaydes shin beettides› gides; hessafe guye ufayeteth oykkida.For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

25«Hessi haniza wode bayra naazi goshshason dees; heeppeka simmidi soo matida wode diiththa duris siyides.Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26Izikka ashkaratappe issaa xeygidi, ‹Hessi aazee?› gi oychchides.So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27Ashkarazikka, ‹Ne ishay yides; izi saroninne lo7on simmida gishshas ne aaway modhdho mirgo boora shukkides› gides.‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28«Bayra ishazikka hanqettidi soo gelanaaska koyibeenna. Aawaykka kare kezidi izi soo gelana mala woossides.The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29Gido attiin izikka zaaridi aawaas, ‹Hekko tani hayssa gakkanaas nees aylle mala ooththadis; ne azazoppe issinokka pacisabeekke; gido attiin tani ta laggetara ufayettana mala ne taas issi deysha laaqqaka immabeekka.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.

30Gido attiin hayssi ne naazi nees dizayssa ubbaa laymatizaytara wursidi yishin modhdho mirgo boora izas shukkadasa› gides.But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31«Aawaykka, ‹Ta naazoo ne ubba wode tanara daasa; taas gididay wurikka neessa.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32Hayssi ne ishay hayqqides shin paxides; dhaydes shin beettides; hessa gishshas nuni ufayettanaas bessees› gides.»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.’”
