Luke 15 (HWO) · Opened

1Nanǝn ya fa thlǝ tsamngya tǝ fingya fa ɗimiya kanda heu a wumnda thlǝmad Yeeso ɓa ka a kang thlǝmanda fa.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Amma Farisaya tǝ Fasǝngya ngyakhrha na nda a huhurumnda, “Kǝlaman niifɗiya ƙǝl thlǝ fa ɗimiya fa tǝ ƙǝm nagha a hǝbrha tǝ kanda.”So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Tǝrgha Yeeso fǝrang karapu ɗanǝn kanda ya.Then Jesus told them this parable:

4“Ndam na niifasǝ ahur nun tǝ chauraya haru tal, sahadgha tal ahur ndan. Mbǝ malang kumnggit wutarihe kap wutarihe ɗi a mbǝd lafrha, ɗǝgha ka kaɗa yanɗaɗǝ sahadgha ƙǝl ma walangɗaɓa wa?“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?

5A walang ɗaɓa, tǝ wutsǝfayirha nǝn a tǝrang a fad uradghǝn sǝAnd when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

6ɗǝgha wure ɗǝ. Tǝrgha aah pashiyighǝn ɓa tǝ tulaya heu, ndanggǝn kanda, ‘Ɗeemasǝ wutsǝfayirha, walangɗi chauradɗi kyana sahadgha.’comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7Niya pǝranggǝn kun, nanda ǝna wutsǝfayirha fa kaan kee a talara aten tǝ ɗimiyirha tǝtali malangga ɗimiyidghǝn, ma fingyayini na kumnggit wutarihe kap wutarihe na tǝ ƙǝkafek fa.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“Nduwa ƙǝm ndam nuneefasǝ tǝ wuɗǝɓǝl wurirha kum sahadgha tal. Mbǝnǝn njang patilla, ngwanggǝn mindǝɗaɗǝ djib kaɗadghǝnǝn wa?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?

9A walang ɗǝ, nǝn a aah wukwayighǝn ɓa tǝ tulaya, ndanggǝn kanda, ‘ɗeemasǝ wutsǝfayirha fa, walangɗi wuɗǝɓǝlɗi kyana sahadgha.’And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Niya pǝranggǝn kun, na wutsǝfayirha fa sǝ kee, a mbed fa thlǝngya Faara aten tǝ ɗimiyirha tǝtali malangga ɗimiyidghǝn.”In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Yeeso ɗǝgha mbeeɗǝ tǝ pathla ndǝghǝn, “ˈWad niifa narhasǝ tǝ wundǝlayighǝn sǝri,Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12tǝ fewunda ndanggǝn chin, ‘Pǝpa fǝre yina langaarha ɓa.’ Tǝrgha chinɗi ndǝghang ƙǝnaghǝnǝn kanda.”The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13Mǝngwa ha wa, tǝfewundǝɗi ngwanggǝn ǝnggighǝn na heu, ɗǝgha ahu chehwedɗǝ na inggun. A mbǝɗi ɓǝlanggǝn ƙǝnaghǝn ɗǝ hu ǝngya ƙǝlara tǝ pateyirha.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14A kwasamadɗi ngwalana ƙǝnaɗa hai keeghǝn, kyagha mirha hu chehwedɗa hai kaan, ƙǝsangga yamirha.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Kaɗa taara nǝn ahar wan tǝ chehwedɗi, ndǝghǝn nggi ƙǝm fǝrang laf ƙǝlengarya nǝn.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16Nǝn naarha kaɗa nggushir ƙǝlengaryini a ǝnagha mii, amma mbǝ niifasǝ fǝrangga ndǝn wa.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17“Ɓana hutenggǝn ɓa, ndǝghǝn, ‘Kai! Fa tarya pǝpa heu kanda a nggaala tǝ ǝnnarhami kaan kulo nggi a mǝra tǝ mirha!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!

18Niya thliirha nanǝnya, wuɗi thlǝmad pǝpa ɗǝ, ndanggi; Pǝpa, ǝnangɗi ɗimiyirha Faara fa, ǝnoɗi fa ƙǝm.I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19Kamngwi a aah nggina wan wa ɓalwa, tsawe kee tal ahur fa tar yiwa.’”I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20Thlidghǝnni, ɗǝgha wal chin. Amma ndǝghǝn ɓalɗǝ inggun, naghǝna chin ɗǝ, ɗaghaɗǝ hwathlaghǝn fa; ɗaghaɗǝ ɗǝgha wal wanggǝn, fǝɓanggǝn.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“Ndangga wanɗi, ‘Pǝpa, ǝnangɗi ɗimiyirha Faara fa, ǝnoɗi fa ƙǝm, kamngwi a aah nggi nda wanwa ɓalwa.’”The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22“Amma chinɗi ndanggǝn mafayighǝn, ‘Ɗamaɗǝ ƙǝkar! Tǝrama kaɓarha ɓa na ngga kalanggunun fa. Paman wulenduwa a wan harghǝn tǝ pakhma a sarghǝn.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.

23Kǝsama wan kwel ɓa, thlenggun uradghǝn, kim, ǝna wutsǝfayirha nǝm.Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

24Ƙǝsǝr wanɗi kyana ya mǝrɗǝ, nggǝrɗǝ yibrha ƙǝfa; sahadɗǝ walang ɗǝm.’ Tǝrgha ɗǝnda mbeeɗǝ tǝ wutsǝfayirha fa.For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

25“Katǝrana ǝnggina hai ya wanggǝn tǝ pamǝnda nǝghǝn a hee, ndusang nǝn wure fa, sǝk ɗǝk kangkar nǝn, fiya a rǝbrha.Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26Tǝrgha aah mafad wuri ndan nǝn ɓa tal, tsahang mee nǝn ha, tǝma tsǝgha hai.So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27Ndangga mafadɗi, ‘Wan muwa ɓagha ɓa, tsu thlengɗǝ urad wan kwel sǝ, ƙǝsǝr wudɗa ɓa kanglang hai.’‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28“Tǝ pamǝndǝɗi sǝbgha hurghǝn ɗǝ kaan kar kyarha nǝn fa wure hai. Kyagha chinsǝ, lǝmggǝnǝn fa.The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29Amma ndanggǝn chin, ‘Kulo hai! Huraya hangga nggi a ǝno taara ƙǝla mafarha ˈwawi karo mee fa wa. Amma ˈwawa fǝre ko wan ˈwala ǝna wutsǝfayirha ni tǝ pashiyina wa.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.

30Amma wunna wanɗaɓa kyawa ya, sǝbangga ƙǝnawa ɗǝ afad sǝsǝwaya thleng urad wan kwel na sǝ!’”But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31Ndangga chin, “‘Waana, ka fad ɗathla mbǝrha fa hai ƙǝm kyab, ˈya na yina heu yiwa ni.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32Amma ˈyani kamngga ǝna wutsǝfayirha nǝm, tǝk mbǝnda nǝm fa, ƙǝsǝr wan manɗi kyawa ya mǝrɗǝ, nggǝrɗǝ yibrha ƙǝfa. Sahadɗǝ walang ɗǝm.’ ”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.’”
