Luke 15 (MFXL) · Opened

1Pettii gallas qaraxe gachishizitaynnee nagara oothiz asay Yesuusa timirtta si7odayis e lanqqayir shiiqeeza.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Zin farasaawitayir higge asitamaaritay, «Yhay athay nagaranchchita shiishii ekkiza, unttar wolla miiza» yeegii zigireeza.So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Yesuusa yeegii yha aazisa unttis odeeza:Then Jesus told them this parable:

4«Yi gancceppe pettayis xeet duritay yeza baz maaqqiko unttapp pettay dhabiko uddufun tamannee uddufunita wora ashshii dhabeezana denggod gatho koyoozay oonoo?“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?

5Denggeez wode ufayttii fa gannal tookkii,And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

6fa kara maaqqiza. Fa laggittannee shoorita wolla xeegii, ‹Dhabeez ta duura denggeeza, taar wolla ufayttoytta› yeegiza.comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7Yey garkkekka, maarotithi gelowa uddufun tamannee uddufun xillitaypp fa nagaras maaroteth geliz pettii athay gishos salo dammo ufayis maaqqiza.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«Woy taphphii shucha bira yeza pettii asita taphphipp pettat dhabiko denggod hellodayis xomppe aytihi keeth pittii miinthii koyoozay oonoo?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?

9Denggeez wode fa laggittannee fa shoorita xeegii ‹Dhabeez ta shuchcha birtto dengeez gishos taar ufayttoytta› yeegiza.And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Si7oytta, yey garkk pettii maarotith geliz nagaranchayir Xoossa kiitanchchitay tiina ufayssi maaqqiza» yeegeeza.In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Maaqqii Yesuusa, «Pettii athayis nam77ii na7itay yeza.Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Unttapp geedo na7ay fa adayiko, ‹Ta Adayyo, ne shalaypp ta bagga taas inggoba› yeegeeza. Aday fa shalana fa na7itayis shageeza.The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13Xiqqa gallasapp guye geedo na7ay fa bagga ubbita accii ekkii haakko gade yhanigeeza. Ezayid ekkii yhanigeez shalana toochchii wursseeza.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14E paas yeza baz ubbita wursseezaypp guye ye gadayid ubbayil miinth naye gelin metintteeza.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Yey gishos, ye gade asaypp pettay kara gata geleeza. Athay eza gudaylle heemmad garkk fa mootha dakkeeza.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16Gudayllitay miiz harqqaypp maadayis amotteeza, zin izokka ezis inggiz asii benttekkaya.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17Fa Wozinar, ‹Aappun ta aday ayllitayisi katha alla attin ta yhaydda nayer yhayqqe?›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!

18Denddii ta adayiko yhanigii, ‹Ta adayyo, salo Xoossa, sa7a nena ta qoheeza.I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19Yhanpp ne na7a ginttinttii xeeginttodayis taas beezoowa gishos ne kara yez ayllitaypp pettay garkk udii tana tayiboba› yeegoda» yeegeeza.I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20Yey gishos, dendii fa adayiko yhanigeeza. «Hano zin, E haga haakor yeezin aday qadhinttii, eziko woxxii yhanigii idinggii yeereeza.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.

21Na7aykka, ‹Ta adayyo salo Xoossa, sa7a nena ta qoheeza. Yhanpp ne na7a ginttinttii xeeginttodayis taas beezoyya› yeegeeza.The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22«E aday ayllita xeegii, ‹Ellisii ubbapp lo77o maaqqeez afila ki7ii eza ma7issii; e biradhdhayidakka migiddo, e tokayid caamma aathoytta.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 mehe ki7ii shukkoytta, maada, ufayttoda.Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

24Ta na7ay yhayi yhayqqeeza, zin yhanno paxeeza; dhabeeza, zin bentteeza› yeegeeza. Yeyppe guye, ufayttithii aykkeeza.For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

25«Ye wode bayra na7ay woota gade yeza. Ezaypp yi7ittar kara ukkodar yethinnee donth giirthi si7eeza.Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26Ayllitaypp petta xeegii hanizay abizako erodayis oycceeza.So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27Ayllay, ‹Ne ishay saro ye7eez gishos ne aday modhdho mehe ezis shukkeeza› yeegeeza.‘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 kacinttii kara gelodayiskka koyekkaya. Aday bale kezii kara geloda garkk eza woosseeza.The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29Zin E fa adayiko, ‹Yeezako, yhay garkk laythi ta nees aylletti ne kiitappe pettokka pacinchekkazar nees kiittinttin ta ta laggitayir ufayttod garkk hara attozin pettii hooggo deesh taas inggekkaya.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.

30Zin, yhay ne na7ay ne shalana laammizitayir doonggii wurssii yi7in modhdho mehe shukkeene bay› » yeegeeza.But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31«Adaykka, ‹Ta na7ayyo, ne ubba wode taar yeza, tabazi ubbay neesi.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32Yhay ne ishay yhayqqeeza, zin paxeeza; dhabeeza, zin bentteeza. Yey gishos, gaame ufayttodayis beeziza› yeegoda» yeegeeza.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.’”
