Luke 15 (ROW) · Opened

1Leleꞌ naa, atahori mana edꞌa bꞌea ma atahori nda papakeꞌ laen ra sa, akaꞌ rema risiꞌ Yesus fo rae rena E. Te atahori Yahudi ra rae fee se atahori nda maloleꞌ sa.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Atahori Farisi ro meser agama Yahudi ra rita taꞌo naa ma unggu-remu rae, “Ciih! Atahori ia naꞌabꞌue no atahori nda papakeꞌ ra sa. Lenaꞌ fai Ana endoꞌ naa no se boe!”So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Yesus rena taꞌo naa ma, Ana dui fee se nekendandaaꞌ nae,Then Jesus told them this parable:

4“Mete ma mia hei ia hambu atahori sa naꞌena bibꞌi lombo natun esa. Boe ma mopo hendi esa. Oras ia atahori naa musi tao sa? Neꞌo ana lao hela bibꞌi lombo ka sio nulu sioꞌ ra reu lenuꞌ sa, ma neu sangga losa ana nita baliꞌ bibꞌi lombo mana mopoꞌ a.“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?

5Leleꞌ ana nita baliꞌ bibꞌi lombo naa, ma nasaa nendi baliꞌ e no nemehoꞌot.And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

6Losa ume, ma ana noꞌe nala nonoon nara, de nafadꞌe se nae, ‘Wae! Hei ima mimihoꞌo mo au dei! Huu au ita baliꞌ bibꞌi lombo mana mopoꞌ ngga ena.’comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7Naa, sia sorga o onaꞌ naa boe. mete ma hambu atahori mana tao salaꞌ sa dꞌoaꞌ ena, fo baliꞌ nisiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ, na basa mana sia sorga ra ramahoꞌo. Ara romahoꞌo lenaꞌ huu atahori esa mana bali nisiꞌ Lamatua, mia atahori ka sionulu sioꞌ fo mana rasodꞌa no ndoo-tetuꞌ, ma nda laoꞌ sala dalaꞌ sa.”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.

8Boe ma Yesus dui nekendandaaꞌ esa fai nae, “Hambu mama esa naꞌena doi fulaꞌ sanahulu. Te, mopo hendi esa. Oras ia, ana nae tao saa o? Neꞌo ana neu nambilaꞌ lambu fo dꞌelo sia bee-bꞌee, ma ngganggai ume a losa mamana makabiaꞌ ra, fo sangga dꞌoiꞌ naa no malolole.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?

9Leleꞌ ana nita baliꞌ dꞌoiꞌ naa ma, ana neu noꞌe atahori ume titia nara, de nafadꞌe nae, Woi! ima fo mimihoꞌo mo au dei! Huu au ita baliꞌ doi mana mopo ngga ena!’And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Sia sorga o onaꞌ naa boe. Mete ma hambu atahori mana tao salaꞌ sa dꞌoaꞌ, de baliꞌ nisiꞌ Lamatuaꞌ, na, basa dedꞌenuꞌ sia sorga ramahoꞌo seli boe.”In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Yesus tute oꞌolan nendiꞌ nekendandaaꞌ laen esa fai nae, “Hambu amaꞌ sa no anan touꞌ rua.Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Lao esa, ana murin nafadꞌe aman nae, ‘Amaꞌ e! Banggi fee au hata-hetoꞌ ra leo! Boe ma aman babꞌanggi hata-hetoꞌ ra fee neu ruꞌa se.The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13Nda dooꞌ sa ma, ana muriꞌ a seo hendi ena nara. De ana mboti bꞌua-baꞌu nara, boe ma lao nisiꞌ nusa dodꞌooꞌ. Sia naa, ana ngganggari doi nara no nesodꞌat sosoa aoꞌ.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14Leleꞌ doi nara basa ma, ndoe-laꞌas manaseliꞌ dai nusaꞌ naa, de ana o nasodꞌa toꞌa-taa nala seli.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Boe ma neu sangga ues. Atahori sa sia nusaꞌ naa simbo e de denu e hani fafi nara.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16Huu anaꞌ naa nda nabeꞌi ndondoen sa ena, de ana nae naa fafi ra nanaat na. Huu nda hambu atahori esa fee ne nanaat sa boe.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17Dodꞌoo ma ana duꞌa neu-nema nae, ‘Sia ama ngga umen, basa atahori mana tao-ues ra hambu raa losa raꞌabꞌeta. Te au sia ia aeꞌ a mate ndoes ena.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!

18Malole lenaꞌ, au baliꞌ isiꞌ ama ngga. Fo ufadꞌe ae, “Amaꞌ! Au tao sala monaeꞌ ena neu Lamatuaꞌ ma amaꞌ boe.I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19Au nda undandaa dadꞌi amaꞌ anan sa ena. Sadꞌi amaꞌ simbo au dadꞌi ate sia amaꞌ umen, o naa malole boe!’”I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20Ana duꞌa nala taꞌo naa ma, fela de baliꞌ nisiꞌ aman umen. Feꞌe sia dodꞌooꞌ te toulasiꞌ a nita e, ma tudꞌa kasian mbali e. Ana onda mia umen de nela-nelaꞌ neu soru anan mana baliꞌ a. De ana holu ma idꞌu e.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.

21Boe ma anaꞌ a olaꞌ no aman nae, ‘Amaꞌ! Au tao sala monaeꞌ neu Lamatuaꞌ ma amaꞌ. Au nda undandaa dadꞌi anam sa ena.’The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22Te aman parenda tuteꞌ atahori mana tao ues nara nae, ‘Woi! Lailai, e! Mii haꞌi mendi badꞌu meulauꞌ seli a! fo fee ne pake. Olu ndeli neu lima uꞌun, ma sapatu neu ei nara.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.

23Mii lea mala sapi mbarunaꞌ naa fo tati, te hita tae feta-dote teu esa.Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

24Huu ana ngga ia onaꞌ mana mateꞌ ena, te ia naa ana nasodꞌa baliꞌ ena. Ana mopo, te ia naa au hambu baliꞌ e ena.’ Olaꞌ basa taꞌo naa ma, ara feta-dꞌote boe.For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

25Leleꞌ naa, ana uluꞌ a nese ume, huu ana neu tao ues sia osi rala. Leleꞌ ana baliꞌ ma, feꞌe sia dodꞌooꞌ te ana rena atahori raꞌaminaꞌ lii-liiꞌ ma lendo-foti.Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26Boe ma ana noꞌe nala mana tao ues esa, de natane nae, ‘Woi! Tao rarameꞌ saa ia?’So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27Atahori mana tao ues a nataa nae, ‘Malangga odꞌi ma nema ena. Dadꞌi amaꞌ, denu tati sapi fo tao fefeta monaeꞌ, huu anan baliꞌ no sodꞌaꞌ.’‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28Rena taꞌo naa, ma ana uluꞌ a namanasa. Ana nda nau ume rala neu sa ena. Boe ma aman nema de kokoe e ume rala neu.The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29Te ana namue nae, ‘Amaꞌ! Dꞌuꞌa sobꞌa dei! Dꞌoon basa ia au tao ues itaꞌ mamate ngga onaꞌ ate fee amaꞌ. Au nda ulena-langga neu amaꞌ hihii-nanaun sa. Onaꞌ naa o, amaꞌ nda feꞌe fee mita au hie anaꞌ esa fo tao fefetas umuhoꞌo o nonoo nggara sa boe.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.

30Tao-tao te amaꞌ ana mana ngganggari hata-hetoꞌ a, neu naꞌaminaꞌ no inaꞌ ra de nabasaꞌ amaꞌ dꞌoin. Ana baliꞌ nema ma, amaꞌ tati sapi malolen seli de tao fefeta monaeꞌ fee ne.’But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31Te aman nataa nae, ‘Ana susue ngge! Rena malolole! Leo mo au doo basa ia ena. Basa saa fo amaꞌ enan, naa ra o ho enam boe.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32Te oras ia hita musi feta-dꞌote tamahoꞌo, huu odꞌim ia. Feꞌesaꞌan, onaꞌ ana mate ena, te ia naa nasodꞌa baliꞌ ena. Ana mopo ena, te ia naa hambu baliꞌ e ena.’”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.’”
