Luke 15 (JNI) · Opened

1Vat anu u kabsa ikirfi ima nyanga nan anu amadini wa ezi ahira a Yeso wa kunna ume.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Vat afatisiyawa nan anu yetteke wa zi unu humuro acece aweme, agi, “unu ugeme mazi unu kabsa anu kabsa ana madini, wa rē imumare nigome.”So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Yeso ma buki ubata uginome, magu.Then Jesus told them this parable:

4Ingi uye shime ma zini itam inu akuri ukirau(100), bi inde be hunne me, mada ceki me ina kuri turwai in nanu turuwI(99), igino me ahira ukese, ma tarsi bi inde be sa ba hunne me maka tinka bini?“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?

5Ingi maka tinka, madi tari agirza ini iriba irum.And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

6Ingi maze akura, m titi aroni nan anu uppru umeme, magu, benkini mi iriba irum barki ma tinka ku tam me sa ka hunne mi.comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7In boo shi, ane adi wuzi uriba irum anyimo Aseseri, ahira uni imum iburi sa ma kaba tize ti Yeso, ma teki ana kuri turwai ina nanu turwai (99) adesa wa zome ini riba ukaba u Yeso.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.

8Nani uya unemeni, ingi ma zini ikirki azumo akelkel anu ukirau(10) ingi biinde ba hunne me, mada wuna me ura ubitila ma visi akurame, ma dingi unyara me barki ma tika?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?

9Ingi ma tinka madi ori oromi ameme nan anu upuru umeme, magu, benkini me iriba irum barki matinka bi kirfi bumme sa ba hunne me.And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Ane ani boo shi, imummu iriba irum ini ahira ahana kadure ka Asere ingi una madini u inde ma kaba Yeso.In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Ba Yeso magun we, uye ma rani mazina ahana ware aruma.Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Kuci me anyimo ahana me magun in kacoo uweme, acoo, nyam ukalum um anyimo imumbe sa uzini, ba acoo me hari we imumbe sa ma zini karee.The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13Tiye ti akici, vana unezeme ma ori vat tirunga tumeme, ma meki unā uhana anire nipit. Abine ani maka huna ikirfi imeni, ma kpiji imumbe sa ma nyara, mahu ikirfi imeme ahira katuma kaburi.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14Sa ma mara u huna imumbe sa mazini, awuzi ikomo idandang ani pim me, ma ribe udira.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Maha maka nyara katuma ahira uye una nipin me, ma ziki me katuma kunyinza maladu imum are.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16Maka kuna are imumare imaladume barki da a nyizi me imumare ba.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17Sa iriba me ya koro ahira me, magu ana katuma ka acoo am, am wani wazin in imumare sa ya bar we, mi be indi wi barki ikono.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!

18Indi biri in ha ahira'”acoo am, in ka gunan me, acoo am ma wuza aseseri imum iburi, makuri ma wuzo weni.I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19Da ma bari akuri agun mi vana uwe ba, kurzom gusi anyimo ana katuma ka akura aweme.”I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20Ba ma hiri ma dusa ahira acoo me. Datti mazi pit, acoo me ma iri me ugogoni u meka me, dusa unu sum maka meki me ma gbendiriko.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.

21Vana ma gun me, ma wuza Asesere imum ima dini ma kuri ma wuza we. Da ma bari utitim vana uweba.The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22Acoo me magun na arere akurame, wuzani debe i ēn unu dibi uriri, isoki me, sokini me bicofo atari timeme nan akwatak ati buna tumeme.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.

23Aka nyara ku naa sa inta akura, aweki, ti wuzi nigora.Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

24Vana um ma wi ana me ma zinu vengize, ma hune me ana me a kem me, watubi are imumare.For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

25Uganiya nginome, vana u unu ma ra uru, sa ma aye mamu in nakura, ma kuma azin unu tira umanganga nan murso.Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26Matiti ure urere akura me, ma iki me nyannini azini wuza me anime.So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27Urere magun me, uhenu uwemani maze akura, acoo aweme ma weki ku naa kugino, barki maze akura merum.‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28Uhenu me ma kuna iriba, ma game uribe akura me, acoo me ma suri ma rigaga me.The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29Ya u unu me magun inka acoo me, ira vat ugbardang uti wee ti geme in zi in nirere dama mamu cara we iribani ba, vat anime da wamu nyan ku naa sa s indi wuzi nire ni hara nan runi am ba.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.

30Sa vana uwe ugino me maze desa ma poki we nirubu unu kem uweme ahira anee uziza arubu, wa weki me kunaa ku naa ku ginime.But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31Acoo me ma gun me, vana um, tizi na hu kondi uya uwui, vat imum be sa izi in iwe ini.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32Ya wuna uri awuzi iriba irm, barki uhenu uweme ma wi, a' ana me ma vengize, ma hunne me a kem me.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.’”
