Luke 15 (GOFL) · Opened

1Issi gallas qaraxa qanxeysatinne nagaranchoti Yesuusa timirtiya si7anaw iya yuushon shiiqidosona.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Shin Farsaawetinne higge astamaareti, “Haysi uray nagaranchota shiishidi ekees, entara issife mees” yaagidi zuuzumidosona.So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Yesuusi ha leemisuwa entaw yaagidi odis:Then Jesus told them this parable:

4“Hinte giddofe issuwas xeetu dorsati de7iyaba gidiko entafe issoy dhayiko uddufun tammanne uddufunata bazzon aggidi dhayoysa demmana gakanaw koyonnay 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?

5Demmida wode ufaytidi ba gannan tookidi,And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

6ba soo simmees. Ba laggetanne shoorota xeegidi, ‘Dhayida ta dorsa demmas, taara issife ufaytite’ yaagees.comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7Hessadaka, maaroti koshshonna uddufun tammanne uddufun xillotape aathidi, maarotan geliya issi nagaranchuwa gaason salon gita ufaysi gidees.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“Woyko tammu biri de7iya issi maccasiya tammaafe iissiya dhayiko demmana gakanaw xompe oythada keetha pittada mintha koyonnay 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?

9Demmida wode ba laggetanne ba shoorota xeegada ‘Dhayida ta issi bira demmida gisho taara ufaytite’ yaagawusu.And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Si7ite, hessa mela issi maarotethan geliya nagaranchuwan Xoossaa kiitanchota sinthan ufaysi gidees” yaagis.In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Zaaridi Yesuusi, “Issi uraas nam7u nayti de7oosona.Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Entafe kaalo na7ay ba aawako, ‘Ta aawaw, ne shaluwape ta gishuwa taw imma’ yaagis. Aaway ba shaluwa ba naytas shaakis.The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13Guutha gallasape guye, kaalo na7ay ba gishuwa ubbaa, qachi ekidi haaho biitta bis. Yan altacan shaluwa toochidi ongis.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14I baw de7iyaba ubba wursidaape guye he biitta ubban mino koshi keyin metootis.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Hessa gisho, he biitta asaape issuwa soo gaata gelis. Uray iya guduntho heemmana mela ba moothu yeddis.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16Gudunthoti miya harquwafe maanaw amottis, shin iyoka iyaw immiya asi bentibeenna.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17I ba wozanaako simmidi, ‘Aapun ta aawa aylletas kathi wora wodhin ta haysan koshara hayqanaw gakadina?’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 aawako bada, ‘Ta aawaw, salon Xoossa, sa7an nena qohas.I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19Hizape ne na7a geetetada xeegetanaw taw bessonna gisho, ne son de7iya aylletape issuwada tana payda’ yaagana” yaagis.I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20Hessa gisho, dendidi ba aawako bis. “Hanoshin, I buroo haahon de7ishin aaway qadhetidi, iyako woxi bidi, idimmidi yeeris.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.

21Na7ayka, ‘Ta aawaw salon Xoossa, sa7an nena ta qohas. Hizape ne na7a geetetada xeegetanaw bessike’ yaagis.The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22“Iya aaway aylleta xeegidi, ‘Ellesidi ubbaafe lo77o gidida ma7o ehidi iya mayzite; iya biradhen sagaayo, iya tohon caamma aathite.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.

23Modho gatarmentho ehidi shukite, moos, ufaytoos.Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

24Ta na7ay haysi hayqis, shin ha77i paxis; dhayis, shin bentis’ yaagis. Hessafe guye, ufaysi doomidosona.For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

25“He wode bayra na7ay goshsha gaden de7ees. Yaape yishe soo matishin yethinne gufa girsi si7is.Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26I, aylletape issuwa xeegidi haniyabay aybeko eranaw oychis.So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27Aylley, ‘Ne ishay saro yida gisho ne aaway modho gatarmentho iyaw shukis’ yaagis.‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28“Bayra ishay yilotidi soo gelanawuka koybeenna. Aaway kare keyidi soo gelana mela iya woossis.The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29Shin I ba aawako, ‘Heko, haysa mela laythi ta new aylletada ne kiitaape issuwaka pacisonna new kiitetin, taani ta laggetara ufaytana mela hari attoshin issi laaqa deeshe immabaaka.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.

30Hanoshin, haysi ne na7ay ne shaluwa laymatara dhaysidi yin, modho gatarmentho shukadasa’ ” yaagis.But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31“Aawayka, ‘Ta na7aw, neeni ubba wode taara de7aasa, taba ubbay neesa.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32Haysi ne ishay hayqis, shin paxis; dhayis, shin bentis. Hessa gisho, daro ufaytanaw bessees’ yaagana” yaagis.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.’”
