Luke 15 (KBQ) · Opened

1Hanki maka takisi zago e'neriza vahe'mo'zane, kumi vahe'mo'za Jisasinte erava'o hu'za naneke'a antahinaku hu'naze.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Hianagi Farisi vahe'ene kasegere ugota hu'naza (sraib) vahe'mo'za zamagra'a ke hugantu hugama hu'za, ama nemo'a kumi vahe zmareno ne'zana zamagrane magopi nene hu'za nehazageno,So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Jisasi'a ana kenona amanage huno fronka kea zamasami'ne,Then Jesus told them this parable:

4Mago'moma tamagripintima, 100'a sipisipi ante'nenifinti mago'mo fanane hanigeno'a inankna hugahie? 99ni'a zamatrenige'za agupofi mani'nenageno, fananema hu'nemofonku hakeva hakeva huno keno erifore hugahie.“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?

5Ome keno eri fore huteno, afunte avrenteno muse nehuno,And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

6avreno nontema ehanatino'a, roneamokizmine tva'onte'ma nemaniza nagara ke hanige'za esageno, anage huno zmasamigahie. Muse nagri ene eme hinketo. Na'ankure fnanema hu'nea sipisipia hago hakena eri fore hu'noe huno hugahie!comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7Hanki Nagra amanage hu'na neramasmue. Anahukna kante, 99ni'a vahe'mo'za fatgo hu'nazankiza zmagu'a rukrehe osugahazanagi, mago kumi vahe'mo, agu'a rukrehe nehigeno'a monafina tusi muse nehaze.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.

8Jisasi'a mago'ane huno, Mago a'mo'ma 10ni'a zago ante'nenifinti, magoke zagoma fanane hu'nenkeno'a, rampe tavi taginteno noma'a harafi huno hakeva hakeva huno keno eri fore hugahie.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?

9Ana a'mo'ma ome ke fore huteno'a, rone'agu'ene, tva'oma'are nemaniza vaheku'enena zmasamino, Muse nagrane eme hinketo, na'ankure zagonima fananema hu'neana hago hakena erifore hu'noe huno hugahie!And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Hanki amanage hu'na neramasmue, anahu kante mago kumi vahe'mo'ma agu'ama rukrahe'ma nehige'za, Anumzamofo ankeromo'za tusi muse nehaze.In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Jisasi'a amanage huno zamasmi'ne, Mago ne'mo tare ne' mofavre zanante'ne.Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Henka ne'amo nafa'amofonku anage huno asami'ne, afufeno ka'a nagrama eri snuama'a refko hunka namisnane higeno, nefa'a fenoma'a refko huno znami'ne.The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13Zaza kna omanineno henka ne'amo, fenoma'a erino afete moparega vu'no anantega umani'neno, aza osu havi avu'avazante fenozama ome atre eme atre hu'ne.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14Maka'zama'a atre vagaretegeno, ana mopafina tusi agate'za fore higeno, ana ne'mofona mago'zama'a omnegeno tusi'a agazanku hu'ne.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Ana higeno mago mopa agafa nete vuno, erizampi avresigu ome antahigegeno, ana nemo'a afu'a kegava hinogu huntegeno afu kevuma mani'narega vu'ne.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16Magore huno vahe'mo'za ne'zana omizageno, afumo'za kohe akru'a nenazafinti nemu hu'naku agesa antahintahi hu'ne.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17Hianagi agrama knare antahintahima e'nerino'a, agra'a anage hu'ne. Mika'a nenfa eri'za vahe'mo'za rama'a breti nenaze. Hianagi nagra amafi mani'nena nagakura fri'za hue!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!

18Nagra otina nenfante vuna, anage hu'na ome asamigahue. Nafanimoka Anumzamofonte'ene kagritera kumi hu'nogu,I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19ne'nimo'e hunka kagra nagrikura osunka, eri'za vaheka'agna hunka navro hu'na hugahue huno agesa antahine.I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20Anage huteno otino nefantega e'ne, ogamanu ne-egeno, nafa'amo negeno asuntaginteno, agareno vuno ome agazafeno, agi antako hu'ne.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.

21Ana nehigeno ana ne'amo anage huno nafa'amofo ome asmi'ne, Nafa'nimoke, Anumzamofonte ene kagrite'enena kumi hu'noe. E'ina hu'negu ne'nimo'e hunka nagrikura hugara osu'noe. Hanki eri'za vahe'ni'e hunka huo.The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22Hianagi nafa'amo'a kazokzo eri'za vahe'agu anage huno zmasamine, ame hutma hentofa kena erita eme antaninentetma, azampina asane agia anone eme antaninteho.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.

23Agaho bulimakamo'ma afovage hu'nesia avreta eme ahetma, krenketa neneta maka'mota musena hamneno.Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

24Na'ankure ama ne'nimo'a fri'neanagi, ete asimu eri'ne. Fanane hu'neanagi, ete hago ehanatine, nehige'za tusi'za hu'za muse hu'naze.For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

25Hagi zage ne'mofavre'amo ehanatino nomofo tva'onte ne-eno, zavena neheza avogema nehazana nentahino,Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26mago eri'za vahe ke huno, na'a anamafina nehaze huno antahige'ne.So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27Ana ne'mo'a anage huno asmi'ne, negagna'a ehanatigeno negafa'a afovage hu'nea agaho bulimakao aheno krege'za nene'ze. Na'ankure negagnana mago'zamo'a azeri haviza osigeno ete ehanatigeno'e huno asmine.‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28Hianagi nempu'amofona rimpa hegeno, ana nompima ufrezankura avesra hu'ne. Nefa'a megia atiramino mofavre'a azeri fru huke hu'ne.The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29Hianagi ana nona'a amanage huno nafa'amofona asmi'ne, kama antahio! Kagri eri'zana kazahu'na vu'noe. Rama'a zagegfufi erizanka'a erinegantena, mago zupe hu'na keka'a rufu'otaginoe. Ana nehugenka magore hunka osi memena naminkena, rone ni'amozanena aheta kreta neneta musena osu'noe.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.

30Hianagi ama mofavre kamoma maka zanka'a monko avu'avazante ome atre vagareno eri haviza huteno egenka, kagra afovage agaho bulimakao ahenka krente'nane.But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31Higeno nefa'a anage huno asmi'ne, ne'nimoka kagra hakare zupa nagrane mani'nanankino, maka'zama ante'noana, Kagri su'a me'ne.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32Hianagi tagra neza neneta muse huntegahune. Na'ankure ama negagna'a fri'ne huta hu'noanagi, kasefa huno mani'ne. Fanane hu'ne huta hunanagi, efore hu'ne huno asami'ne.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.’”
