Luke 15 (MNI) · Opened

1Nongma kanggat khomba amadi atoppa papchengba pumnamakna Jisuna tambiba tananabagidamak mahakki manakta laklammi.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Maduda pharisee-sing amadi wayel yathanggi ojasingna marum marum sonduna hainarak-i, “Nupa asina papisingbu taramna ok-i amasung makhoiga chasu chaminnei!”So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Maduda Jisuna pandam asi makhoida hairak-i,Then Jesus told them this parable:

4“Nakhoigi marakta yao chama leiba kanagumba amagi yao ama mangkhrabadi nahakna kari tougani? Nahakna atoppa yao maraphutara mapan adubu lamhangda hundoklamduna mangkhraba yao adubu phangdriphaoba thiroidra?“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?

5Aduga nahakna madubu phangba matamda adukki matik haraoduna nahakna madubu lengbanda thonggatli.And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

6Aduga nahakna yumda halaktuna nahakki marup-mapangsing amadi keirol-leikaisingbu kouraduna makhoida hai, ‘Eina eigi mangluraba yao adu amuk hanna phangjare, aduna eikhoi haraominnasi.’comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7Eina nakhoida hairi madudi, matou adugumduna pukning hongba mathou tadaba achumba chatpa makhoi maraphutara mapandagi papchenba amana pukning hongbada swargada henna haraoba oigani.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“Nattraga lupagi senmayek tara leibi nupi amagi senmayek ama mangkhrabadi mahakna thaomei chukhattuna amadi yumdu sumjit sittuna senmayek adu phangdriba phaoba cheksinna thiroidra?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?

9Aduga mahakna madu phangba matamda mahakna magi marup-mapangsing amadi keirol-leikaisingbu kouraduna hai, ‘Eina eigi mangluraba senmayek adu amuk phangjare, aduna eikhoi haraominnasi.’And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Eina nakhoida hairi madudi matou adugumduna pap chengba amana paptagi pukning hongba matamda Tengban Mapugi swargadutsingna harao-i.”In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Jisuna makha tana hairak-i, “Kanagumba nupa amagi machanupa ani leirammi.Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Aduga machanupa atomba aduna mapada hairammi, ‘Ipa, Eigi phangpham thokpa lanthumgi saruk adu eingonda pibiro.’ Adudagi mapa aduna mahakki areiba lanthum adu makhoi anida yenthokpire.The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13Madugi matung numit kharagi matungda machanupa atomba aduna mahakki lanthumgi saruk adu yonthoktuna senpham adu puraga mayum thadoktuna chatkhre. Aduga mahakna arappa leibak amada chatuna cheksindaba punsi mahing amada hingduna maran-mathum pumnamak manghallammi.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14Amasung mahakki leijaba pumnamak adu sijinnathokhraba matungda leibak aduda sathina chak tangba thokle aduga mahak awatpana thallakle.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Adudagi mahakna lam aduda leiba mi amagida chattuna mahakpu thabakta sijinnabinaba haijarure amasung nupa aduna mahakpu ok sennanaba thare.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16Aduga mahak adukki matik mabuk lamlammi madudi okta pijariba okchak adu chaduna mabuk thalhanninglammi. Adubu kana amatana mangonda kari amata pibiramde.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17Mameithangda mahakna wakhal tarakladuna masa mathanta haijarammi, ‘Eigi ipagi anekpa minaisingna phaoba chananaba lem pana lei aduga eina maphamsida lambana sigadoure!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!

18Eina hougattuna ipagi manakta chatlaga haigani, Ipa, eina Tengban Mapu amadi nahakki maiyokta pap toukhre.I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19Eihak amuk hanna nahakki nachanupa koubada matik chadre; eihakpu nahakki anekpa minai amagumna lousinbiyu.’I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20Adudagi mahakna hougattuna mapagi manakta halakle. “Aduga mahakna mayum yougadaba thaplingeidagi mahakna lakpa adu mapana urammi. Amasung thamoida nungsibana thalladuna mahakna machagi manakta chenthoraklaga mahakpu konsinduna chupkhi.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.

21Matamduta machanupa aduna hairak-i, ‘Ipa, Eina Tengban Mapu amadi nahakki maiyokta pap toukhre. Eihak amuk hanna nahakki nachanupa koubada matik chadre.’The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22Adubu mapa aduna mahakki minaisingbu kouraduna hairak-i, ‘Thuna mahakkidamak khwaidagi phaba phijol puraktuna setchinbiyu, khutsada khudop sijinbiyu amasung makhongda khong-up tongsinbiyu.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.

23Aduga masa noiba sa ama puraktuna hatlu. Eikhoina chaklen ama sinduna harao nungaiba phongdoksi.Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

24Maramdi eigi ichanupa asi sirurabani adubu amuk hinglakle; mahak manglurabani adubu amuk phangjare.’ Adudagi makhoina harao nungaiminaba houre.For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

25“Matam aduda machanupa ahal adudi loubukta leirammi. Aduga mahakna halaktuna yum naksilaklabada isei-nongmai amasung jagoi sabagi makhol tarammi.Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26Adudagi mahakna manaising amabu kouduna mapham asida touribasing asi karino haina hanglammi.So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27Maduda manai aduna khumlak-i, ‘Nahakki nanaonupa aduk amuk halakle, aduga mahakna asoi angam karisu yaodana halakpa adugidamak nahakki napana masa noihallaba sa ama hatlibani.’‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28Maduda machanupa ahal adu adukki matik saorammi amasung mayumda changlamde. Maram aduna mapa aduna thoraktuna mahakpu yumda changlaknaba haijarammi.The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29Adubu mahakna mapada hairak-i, ‘Yengngu, chahi kaya asi eina minai amagumna nahakkidamak thabak surakli aduga nongmatasu nahakki yathang indaba toukhidri. Adubu eigi marup mapangsingga chaminnaduna haraominnanaba hameng macha amatang phaoba nahakna eingonda keidoungeidasu pikhidri.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.

30Adubu nahakki naral nathum apumba oktabi nupisingda hundokluraga halakpa nahakki nachanupa asigidamaktadi nahakna anoiba sa hattuna haraoba phongdokli.’But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31Maduda mapa aduna mangonda khumlak-i, ‘Yengu, ichanupa, nahakti matam pumnamakta eihakka leiminnari aduga eigi areiba pumnamaksisu nahakkini.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32Aduga asumna harao nungaiminnabagi thouram asisu pangthokpada matik chai, maramdi nahakki nanaonupa asi sirurabani adubu amuk hinglakle; mahak manglurabani adubu amuk phangjare.’ ”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.’”
