Luke 15 (TAW) · Opened

1Bɨ takis dep okok sek, binɨb tap si tap tɨmel gɨlak okok sek, Jisas takaw agup ak nɨgun agɨl, ap nɨg yelak.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Pen bɨ Pelisi okok sek, bɨ kɨli Mosis takaw ñu kɨl tɨkak ak nɨgtep gep okok sek, Jisas nop takaw ladek agɨlak, Bɨ anɨb ak, taynen bɨ tap si tap tɨmel gɨlak okok ayɨp pel mɨdɨl tap jɨmñɨl ñɨŋub agɨlak.So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Anɨb agel Jisas nɨŋɨd, takaw olap kɨlop paladaŋ lɨl agak,Then Jesus told them this parable:

4Bɨ nɨbi olap chag sipsip 100 tek muk yenɨgab agak. Pen nokom olap kul gek, ogɨnap dam wakay olap lek tap wɨjwɨj ñɨŋɨlaknɨŋ, chag sipsip ne kul gɨnɨgab ak pɨyow amnɨgab agak. Am pɨyow pɨyow nɨŋɨd,“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?

Apɨl, bogɨlak ne okok kɨlop ayɨp, binɨb man ne ayɨp jɨmñɨl okok ayɨp kɨlop suk agek, apnan gel agɨnɨgab, Chag yad kul gup ak pɨyow nɨŋɨd dɨpin nen, nɨbi ayɨp mɨñmɨñ gun agɨnɨgab agak.comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7Anɨb ak tek God chɨnop gup agak. Bɨ olap tap si tap tɨmel gup okok kelɨgɨl God nop gos nɨgɨnɨgab ak, God man ne alaŋ mɨñmɨñ awl yɨbɨl gɨnɨgabal agak. Binɨb kuŋay teplep yɨbɨl mɨdeb okok, God ne kɨlop nɨŋɨd mɨñmɨñ gɨnɨgab ak pen, bɨ olap tap si tap tɨmel gup okok kelɨgɨnɨgab ak, mɨñmɨñ awl yɨbɨl gɨnɨgab agak.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.

8Pen bin olap mani mɨdup ne anep wajɨlem yenɨgab ak, won olap kal mɨgan okok kɨmɨgel yownɨgab agak. Yapek, sup dagɨl, tap dayday lɨg lɨg, mani ne won anɨb ak nɨŋɨd dɨnɨgab agak.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?

9Dek, bogɨlak ne okok ayɨp, binɨb man ne ayɨp jɨmñɨl okok ayɨp kɨlop suk agek, apnan gel agɨnɨgab, Mani yad yowup won nokom ak pɨyow nepin nen, nɨbi ayɨp mɨñmɨñ gun agɨnɨgab agak.And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Anɨb ak tek, bɨ olap tap si tap tɨmel gup okok kelɨgɨl God nop gos nɨgɨnɨgab ak, God ensel ne mɨñmɨñ awl yɨbɨl gɨnɨgabal agak.In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Jisas anɨb agɨl agak, Bɨ olap ñɨ omɨŋal tɨkɨnɨgab agak.Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Ñɨne kɨdek ak, apɨl nap nop agɨnɨgab, Bapi. Tap chɨlopmɨŋal apan okok pak asɨk, yɨp okok ke ñan agɨnɨgab agak. Agek, nap tap kɨlopmɨŋal okok pak asɨk keke ñɨnɨgab agak.The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13Ñek, ñɨne kɨdek ak pel mɨdɨl mel, nap tap pak asɨk ñɨnɨgab okok yokɨnɨgab ak dɨl, dad man palawl okok amnɨgab agak. Am anɨb okok mɨdɨl, binɨb tap si tap tɨmel okok gɨlɨg, mani dad amnɨgab okok mɨdupsek gɨ ñɨbdɨnɨgab agak.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14Anɨgɨl gɨ ñɨbdek, yuwan awl yɨbɨl ak man anɨb ak ownɨgab agak. Apek, mani dɨl tap taw ñɨŋɨnɨmuŋ tek olap ma yɨbɨl nep yenɨgab agak.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Anɨgek, ne amɨl bɨ man nap nɨb anɨb ak nɨb olap agnɨgek, nop chag wog ak aglɨnɨgab agak.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

18Anɨb ak yad man awl kelɨgɨl, bapi mɨdeb tep ak adɨkɨd amɨl, bapi nop agɨnɨgayn, God wɨdɨn mɨdup nop adek ak gɨ tɨmel gɨl, wɨdɨn mɨdup nep adek ak gɨ tɨmel gɨl gɨpin agɨnɨgayn agɨnɨgab agak.I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

Nɨgek, chɨb tɨmel yɨbɨl gek, kasek am nop dɨ kaykol gaknɨŋSo 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.

21ñɨne agɨnɨgab, Bapi. God wɨdɨn mɨdup nop adek ak gɨ tɨmel gɨl, wɨdɨn mɨdup nep adek ak gɨ tɨmel gɨl gɨpin tek, yɨp ñɨ yad ma agɨnɨmɨn agɨnɨgab agak.The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22Nap pen bɨ wog gɨñeb ne okok kɨlop agɨnɨgab, Ñɨ yad ak pɨsnep kul gɨl kumak tek lak ak pen, mɨñɨl koŋɨm mɨdeb nɨgebin agɨnɨgab agak.

Agek, agɨnɨgab tek gɨl, tap mɨdup dagɨl ñɨbɨlɨg mɨñmɨñ gɨnɨgabal agak.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.

25Pen ñɨne ned ak, wog day okok gɨ ajɨl, adɨkɨd kal yep wulep sɨŋak apɨl nɨgɨnɨgab, dachɨŋ pakɨl mɨñmɨñ gɨlɨg genɨgabal agak.Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26Anɨgel nɨŋɨd, nap bɨ wog gɨñeb ne olap nop agnɨŋɨd agɨnɨgab, Tay gebal agɨnɨgab agak?So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

Apek, nap chag bulmakaw ñɨluk tep yɨbɨl olap pakɨl dagɨl ñɨbɨlɨg, mɨñmɨñ gebal agɨnɨgab agak.‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28Agek, nop mɨlɨk tɨmel yɨbɨl yapek, kal mɨgan ma yɨbɨl amnɨgab, seŋayaŋ nep yenɨgab agak. Nap pen seŋ apɨl, kal mɨgan owan agɨl nop takaw saynsayn gɨl agek,The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

30Ñɨnak kɨdek ak, tap bɨlok ñɨnak okok dam, bin si tap okok gɨl, ñɨbdɨl apek, nop chɨb nɨŋɨd chag bulmakaw ñɨluk tep yɨbɨl ak pakɨpan agɨnɨgab agak.But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31Agek, nap ñɨne nop agɨnɨgab, Chɨlapɨl pel mɨdobul tek, tap yad okok tap nade, mɨdupsek dɨnɨgaban agɨnɨgab agak.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
