Luke 15 (MSY2020)

1Ezɨ arazir kurabagh amir gumaziba ko dagɨaba isir gumaziba, me Iesus baraghasa anekuvagha iti.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Ezɨ Farisiba ko Judan Arazibagh fofozir gumaziba an atara a mɨgɨa ghaze, “Gumazir kam gumazir arazir kurabagh amiba ko mɨgɨa me koma api.”So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Ezɨ Iesus akar isɨn zuir kamɨn me mɨgei,Then Jesus told them this parable:

4“Ian tav 100pla sipsipba ikɨtɨ tam oveghtɨma, a 99pla ateghtɨ da puram azenan ikɨ damɨtɨ, eghtɨ a mangɨ ovengezim buri mangɨ, an apighvɨra gɨvagham, o?“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?

5Egh an an apighɨva bar akuegh a isi uan dɨpɨzim datɨgh a gisaghpugh ngun mangam. Egh a uan namakaba ko an boroghɨn itir darazir diagh me akuvagh, egh kamaghɨn mɨkɨmam, ‘Kɨ uan sipsipɨn ovengezim uam an api! Ia izɨ. E a givarvaram.’And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

7Kɨ ia mɨgei, kamaghɨra enselba gumazir kuram bagha agoir agorogem bar 99plan derazir gumazamizir kabagh afiragham. Gumazir kuram a navim gɨra. Ezɨ 99pla gumazamiziba me ghaze me dera egha navibagh irazir puvatɨ.”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.

8Egha Iesus ua kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Amizitam 10pla wan kina ikɨtɨ, tam oveghtɨma, a manmaghɨn damuam? A lam daborogh, egh dɨpenim aviva a buri mangɨ, an apighvɨra gɨvagham.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?

9Egh an apigh, uan namakaba ko an boroghɨn itir darazir diagh me akuvagh kamaghɨn me mɨkɨmam, ‘Kɨ uan ovengezir wan kina batogha gɨfa. Ia na ko e a givarvaram.’ ”And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Egha Iesus ua kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Kɨ ia mɨgei, gumazir arazir kurabagh amitam navim giraghtɨ, ia nguazimɨn a givarvara akongezɨ moghɨn Godɨn enselba Godɨn Nguibamɨn a givarvaram.”In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Egha Iesus ua kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Gumazir mam otarir pumuning iti.Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Ezɨ dozim kamaghɨn uan afeziam mɨgɨa a gaghora ghaze, ‘Afeziam, nɨ ga bagh biziba tuiragh nananaba na danɨngigh.’ Ezɨ aningɨn afeziam uan biziba aning bagha da tuira.The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13“Ezɨ dughiar otevimɨn gɨn, otarir dozim uan biziba akuvagha da inigha saghon itir nguibar mamɨn ghu. Egha nguibar kamɨn ikiava pura tintinimɨn arazir kurabagh amima, an dagɨaba bar gɨfa.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14Ezɨ an dagɨaba bar gɨvazɨma, nguibar a itir kam dagheba puvatɨzir dughiam oto. Ezɨ a ua bizitam itir puvatɨ.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Kamaghɨn amizɨ, a ghua nguibar kamɨn itir gumazir mamɨn ingarasa a bato. Ezɨ a anemadazɨ a ghua an dabar gara dar akuaghapi.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16Ezɨ gumazitam daghetam a ganɨngizir puvatɨ. Kamaghɨn amizɨ, a dabar gari da nguezibar mɨseviba api. Ezɨ a uaghan tabar amasa bar ifonge.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17“Ezɨ datɨrɨghɨn nɨghnɨzir aghuarim an izima, a kamaghɨn mɨgei, ‘Nan afeziamɨn ingangarir gumazamiziba dagher avɨriba iti. Ezɨ kɨ kagh ikɨ mɨtiriam bangɨn aremegham.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!

18Kɨ ti uamategh uan afeziam bagh mangɨ kamaghɨn a mɨkɨmam, “Afeziam, kɨ arazir kuramɨn God ko nɨ gami.I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19Kɨ datɨrɨghɨn gumazir aghuim puvatɨ. Eghtɨ nɨ borim na darɨghan markɨ. Nɨ na ateghtɨ kɨ pura nɨn ingangarir gumazimɨn mɨn ikiam.” ’I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20Egha a dɨkavigha uan afeziam bagha zui. “A saghon izavɨra itima, an afeziam an apigha bar an apangkufi. Egha an a bagha ivegha ghua uan dafarimningɨn a muigha an tori.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“Ezɨ an otarim kamaghɨn a mɨgei, ‘Kɨ arazir kuram God ko nɨ gami. Kɨ ua gumazir aghuim puvatɨ, nɨ borim na darɨghan markɨ.’The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22“Ezɨ an afeziam kamaghɨn uan ingangarir gumazibav gei, ‘Ia zuamɨra! Korotiar bar aghuir ruarim inigh izɨva a darugh. Egh ring an dafarim darugh, dagarir asuaba a daghuigh!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.

23Nan borim aremegha ua angamɨra iti. An ovengezɨ e uam an api. Kamaghɨn amizɨ, ia mangɨ bulmakaun nguzir mɨkarzim sara itim a inigh izɨva a mɨsuegh e anemɨva a givarvaram.’ Egha me a givarvara isam gami.Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

25“Ezɨ dughiar kamɨn otarir ekiam azenibar ikegha izi. A dɨpenimɨn boroghɨn iza orazi, me ongava ighiam gizi.Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26Ezɨ a uan afeziamɨn ingangarir gumazir mamɨn diagha an azara, ‘Marazi tizim gami?’So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27“Ezɨ a an akam ikaragha ghaze, ‘Nɨn dozim uamategha ize. An aremezir puvatɨgha deravɨra ikia uamatenge. Kamaghɨn amizɨ, nɨn afeziam a bagha bulmakaun nguzir mɨkarzim sara itim mɨsoke.’‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28“Ezɨ an otarir ekiam atara dɨpenimɨn aven mangan aghua. Ezɨ an afeziam azenan ghua aven mangasa a gakaghoravɨra iti.The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29Ezɨ a kamaghɨn uan afeziamɨn akam ikaragha ghaze, ‘Nɨ gan! Kɨ azenir kabar kɨ pura ingangarir gumazir kɨnimɨn mɨn ikia pura nɨn ingara, nɨn akaba batozir puvatɨ. Ezɨ nɨ bar dughiatamɨn kɨ uan namakaba ko ikɨ bar akueghasa nɨ memen nguzitam na ganɨngizir puvatɨ.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.

30Ezɨ nɨn otarir kam arazir kurabagh amua amiziba ko ikia uan dagɨaba agɨvagha izezɨ, nɨ bulmakaun nguzir mɨkarzim sara itim a bagha a mɨsoke!’But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31“Ezɨ afeziam kamaghɨn a mɨgei, ‘Nan otarim, nɨ zurara na ko iti. Ezɨ nan biziba da nɨn biziba.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32Nɨn dozim aremegha ua dɨkafi. Egha an ovengezɨ e uam an api. Kamaghɨn amizɨ, e a bagh isam gamua ivarvari.’ ”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.’”
