Luke 15 (TCZCHONG)

1Kaidong ho leh adang michonse ho Jesu thuhil ngai dingin ahung jiuvin ahi.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Hiche hin Pharisee ho leh houdan thuhil ho aphunchel sah tan, michonse hotoh akipol'in nejong anekhom uve! tin asei tauve.So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Hijeh chun Jesun hiche thusim hi aseipeh in ahi:Then Jesus told them this parable:

4“Mikhat in kelngoi jakhat neihen chule alah a khat chu vahmang taleh, ipi bol tantem? Adang somko le ko ho chu gamthip a adalhah a chule avahmang pa chu amu tokah a agahol louding ham?“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?

5Chuteng ahin mu tengleh, kipah tah in a'in lam'a din alengkouvah hin kipoh tante.And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

6Ahung vailhun tengleh amapan aloi agol chule aheng akom koukhom intin, ‘Nei kipa khom piuvin ajeh chu keiman ka kelngoi mangsa chu kakimutai’ tinte.comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7Chutobang a chu michonse khat in lungheina aneiya Pathen lama akile kit chun adang somko le ko lunghei ngailou michonpha ho chung sangin van'ah kipana aum'e!”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“Ahilouleh, tekahnan, numei khat hin sum dangka som aneijin chule khat amansah tai. Amanun meivah adet a insung pumpi atheh a chule chingthei tah a amu tokah a ahol louding ham?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?

9Chule amanun hichu amuteng, aloi apai chule aheng akom cheng akoukhom ding, ‘Nei kipapiuvin, ajeh chu kasum mang kakinung mutai’ ati ding ahi.And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Chutobang chun van'ah Pathen Vantil te panna in, michonse khat seh lunghei na chungah kipana aum'e,” ati.In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Athusei hilchet be theina din hiche thusim hi aseijin ahi: “Mikhat in chapa ni aneiye.Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Aneojo pan apa jah a, ‘Nathi masangin nanei nagou kachan ding ho tun kadei tai’ ati. Hijeh chun apan acha teni chu anei agou ho hoppeh dingin anomtai.”The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13“Ni phabep jouvin hiche chapa neojo pa chun anei jouse akisemtup in mun gamla tah a dingin achetai, chule hia chun asum le pai jouse hindan kinomsah nan asumang tai.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14Chutia asum akiman chai phat chun, gamsunga chun kel nasatah alhan, kel athoh pantai.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Chumun'a loulhoumi khat in natoh apehna dingin akithujon, amapan jong aloumun langah vohchate vah dingin asol'in ahi.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16Khangdong pa chu agilkel lheh tan, vohchate anehsah ji voh-an jeng jong chu tui lheh dingin amitmun akilang tan ahi. Ahivangin koiman neh ding ape tapon ahi.”He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17“Achainakeiya ahung khahdoh phat chun, ama le ama akihoulim in, 'Ka-in ah soh thalah ho jengin jong anehval set u anneh aneiyun, kei hiche'ah gilkel'a thi dingin kaum'e!'” ati.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!

18Ka-in a kache ding kapa kom'a, “Hepa, van le nangma dounan kachonse tai,I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19chule keima nacha tiding hoi kahi tapoi. Lungset tah in soh thalah khat bangin nei sangin, tinge,” atitai.I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20“Chuin ama apa kom'a dingin inlam akile tai. Chule amapa mun gamla tah ahung gei nalaiyin, apan ahung amutan ahi. Ngailutna le khotona dimset pum'in achapa kom'ah alhaiyin, akolchuh chuh in, achoptai.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.

21Achapan ahin seitai, 'Hepa, keima van le nangma dounan kachonse tai, chule tun nacha tidin jong kalhing jou tapoi,” ati.The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22“Ahinlah apan asohte kom'ah aseitai, Gang'un! Insunga ponsil hoipen-pen hinchoiyun lang silpeh un. Akhutjung'a akibu ding khutjem le akise ding kengchot hinchoiyun.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.

23Chule bongnou ivahthao uchu that un. Eihon golvah loupi tah a ilop diu ahi,Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

24ajeh chu hiche kachapa hi athi ana hitan, tua hi hung hingdoh kit ahi. Amangsa anahin, tua hi kimukit ahitai.' Hiti chun golnop chu akipan tai.”For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

25Chutia aumlai chun, chapa a upajo pa chu loulanga um natong ahi. Inlam ahung kile chun, in'a chun tumging le lam gin ajatan,Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26chuin asohte khat kom'ah ipi thilsoh um ham ti adongin ahi.So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27'Nasopipa hung kile ahi,' tin aseipeh un, 'Chuleh napan bongnou thaotah chu athapeh ahi. Damsel'a ahunglhun jeh a ilop u ahi,'” tin aseipeh tai.‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28“A upajo pa chu alunghangin insung alut tapon ahi. Apa ahungdoh in ahung tem'e,The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29ahin aman adonbut in, 'Kum hijat hi nasoh banga kaum chule bol'in nati jouse kada na umkhalou ahi. Chuleh hiche phat jouse achun nangman kaloi kagol hotoh kaneh khom diuvin kelcha nou khatbeh neinape khapoi.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.

30Ahivangin hiche na chapan noti ho chunga nasum jouse aveichai nungin, nangman bongnou thaotah nathapeh in nalop peh e!'” ati.But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31“Apan ajah a aseijin, 'Ven, kachapa ngaitah, nangma kakom'ah naum jinge, chuleh kanei jouse jong hi nanga ahi.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32Eihon hiche kipa nikho hi ilop diu ahi. Ijeh inem itile nasopipa hi athi'ah ahitan chule hung hingdoh kit ahi! Amangsa anahin, hinlah tun akimutai!'” ati.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.’”
