< Luke 15 >

1 Were now to Him drawing near all the tax collectors and the sinners to hear Him.
A om uh vaengah mangmucoi rhoek neh hlangtholh rhoek loh anih taengah hnatun ham boeih a paan uh.
2 And were grumbling the (both *no) Pharisees and the scribes saying that This [man] sinners receives and he eats with them.
Te vaengah Pharisee rhoek neh cadaek rhoek te cai uh tih, “Anih loh hlangtholh rhoek a doe tih amih taengah a caak,” a ti uh.
3 He spoke then to them parable this saying;
Te dongah hekah nuettahnah he amih ham a thui pa tih,
4 What man of you having a hundred sheep and (having lost *NK+o) of them one not leaves the ninety nine in the open field and goes after the [one] having been lost until he may find it?
“Nangmih khuikah mebang hlang khaw tu yakhat a khueh vetih te khui lamkah loh pakhat te poci koinih, sawmko pako te khosoek ah a hnoo tih a hmuh duela aka poci te a hnuk ah a hlak moenih a?
5 And having found [it] he lays [it] on the shoulders (of him *N+kO) rejoicing,
A hmuh vaengah khaw a laengpang dongah a tloeng tih omngaih ta.
6 And having come to the house he calls together the friends and the neighbours saying to them; do rejoice with me, for I have found the sheep of mine the [one] having been lost!
Im la a pawk vaengah khaw a paya rhoek neh imben rhoek te a hueh tih, ‘Kamah taengah omngaih uh, ka tu aka poci te ka hmuh coeng,’ a ti.
7 I say to you that in the same way joy in heaven there will be over one sinner repenting rather than over ninety nine righteous ones who no need have of repentance.
Te vanbangla nangmih taengah ka thui. Yutnah aka ngoe pawh hlang dueng sawmko pako so lakah aka yut hlangtholh pakhat soah ni vaan ah omngaihnah a om eh.”
8 Or what woman drachmas having ten, if she may lose drachma one, surely she lights a lamp and she sweeps the house and she seeks carefully until (it *N+kO) she may find?
“Huta loh tangkanuei lung rha te a khueh. Tangkanuei pakhat te a hlong atah, hmaiim te a tok phoeiah im te a nawt, a hmuh pawt atah khaelh khaelh a tlap.
9 And having found [it] (she calls together *N+kO) the friends and neighbours saying; do rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma that I lost.
A hmuh daengah, a paya rhoek neh imben rhoek te a hueh tih, ‘Tangkanuei ka poci sak te ka hmuh dongah kamah taengah omngaih uh,’ a ti pueng.
10 Thus I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner repenting.
Te vanbangla nangmih taengah kan thui. Hlangtholh pakhat a yut soah ni Pathen kah puencawn rhoek hmaiah omngaihnah a om,” a ti nah.
11 He said then; A man certain had two sons.
Te phoeiah, “Hlang pakhat loh capa panit a khueh.
12 And said the younger of them to the father; Father, do give to me what is due [to me] portion of the property. (then *N+kO) he divided between them the property.
Amih rhoi khuiah a noe loh a napa te, ‘A pa, koe a kaekvang na hmoel te kamah m'pae laeh,’ a ti nah. Te dongah a napa loh amih rhoi ham khosaknah te a tael pah.
13 And after not many days having gathered together (all [things] *N+kO) the younger son went away into a country distant and there he wasted the estate of him living prodigally.
Tedae khohnin muep a koe kolla boeih aka kool a capa a noe tah kho hla la yiin. Te phoeiah a koe te pahoi a poek tih cungpoeh cungdam la hing.
14 When was spending however he everything there arose a famine (severe *N+kO) throughout the country that, and he himself began to be in need.
Boeih a hnonah phoeiah tah te rhoek pingpang ah khokha loh muep a pai thil tih anih khaw vawt tangkhuet.
15 And having gone he joined himself to one of the citizens the country of that, and he sent him into the fields of him to feed pigs.
Te dongah te pingpang kah pilnam pakhat taengah cet tih kap. Te vaengah anih te ok vuelh ham lohma la a tueih.
16 And he was longing (to be fed *N+kO) (the *ko) (stomach of him *KO) (from *N+kO) the pods that were eating the pigs, and no [one] was giving to him.
Te vaengah ok loh a caak canghlam koi te caak ham a hue dae anih te pae uh pawh.
17 To himself however having come (he was saying; *N+kO) How many hired servants of the father of mine (have abundance *N+kO) of bread, I myself however with hunger (here *NO) am perishing!
Te daengah amah te a cueih koep om tih, ‘A pa kah kutcoep rhoek te yet pataeng buh a coih sak uh dae kai tah khokha neh ka poci pahoi coeng.
18 Having risen up I will go to the father of mine and I will say to him; Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you;
Ka thoo vetih a pa taengla ka cet pawn ni. Amah taengah, “A pa, vaan neh nang hmaiah ka tholh coeng.
19 (and *k) no longer no longer am I worthy to be called son of you. do make me like one of the servants of you.
Na ca la khue ham khaw a koihvaih la ka om moenih, kai he na kutcoep pakhat la ng'khueh,” ka ti nah ni,’ a ti.
20 And having risen up he went to the father (of himself *NK+o) Still now he far being distant he saw him the father of him and was moved with compassion, and having run he fell upon the neck of him and he kissed him.
Te dongah thoo tih a napa te a paan. Tedae a hla la a om vaengah a napa loh a hmuh tih a thinphat. Te dongah yong tih a rhawn ah a kop tih a mok.
21 Said then the son to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; (and *k) no longer no longer am I worthy to be called son of you (do make me as one of the servants of you. *O)
Te vaengah a capa loh, ‘A pa, vaan neh namah hmaiah ka tholh coeng, na ca la khue ham khaw ka a koihvaih la ka om moenih,’ a ti nah.
22 Said then the father to the servants of him; (Quickly *NO) do bring out robe the best and do clothe him and do give a ring for the hand of him and sandals for [his] feet,
Tedae a napa loh a sal rhoek te, ‘Hnikul tanglue te a loe la hang khuen uh lamtah anih he bai sak uh. A kut dongah kutbuen, a kho dongah khokhom buen sak uh.
23 and (do bring *N+kO) the calf fattened, do kill [it], and having eaten let us be merry,
Vaito puetsuet te han khuen uh, te te ngawn uh. Te phoeiah uum uh sih lamtah ca uh sih.
24 For this the son of mine dead was and is alive again, (and *k) he was having been lost and is found. And they began to be merry.
Ka ca a duek la aka om he koep hing, aka poci la om dae koep a phoe coeng dongah pahoi uum sih,’ a ti nah.
25 Was now the son of him the elder in [the] field. and while coming [up] he drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Te vaengah lohma ah aka om a capa a ham te, im vat ham pha tih toembael neh a lam uh te a yaak.
26 And having called near one of the servants (of him *k) he was inquiring what (maybe *no) would be these things.
Te dongah camoe pakhat a khue tih tekah hno aka om te a dawt.
27 And he said to him that The brother of you is come, and has killed the father of you the calf fattened, because in good health him he has received.
Te long te anih taengah, ‘Na mana te ha pawk coeng. Te dongah na pa loh vaito puetsuet te a ngawn tih anih te sading la a doe,’ a ti nah.”
28 He was angry however and not he was willing to go in. (And *N+KO) the father of him having gone he was begging him.
“Te dongah kosi a hong tih kun ham ngaih pawh. Tedae a napa tah cet tih anih te a hloep.
29 And answering he said to the [the] father of him; Behold so many years I serve you and never a commandment of you I disobeyed, and to me myself never did you give a young goat that with the friends of mine I may make merry.
Tedae a napa te a doo tih, ‘Kum, he yet na taengah sal ka bi tih na olpaek ka poe moenih he. Tedae kai ham tah ka paya neh uum hamla maae pataeng nan paek moenih.
30 When however the son of you this the [one] having devoured your living with prostitutes came, you have killed for him the fattened calf.
Tedae hlanghalh rhoek neh na khosaknah aka yoop na capa tah ha pawk vaengah, vaito puetsuet te anih ham na ngawn pah,’ a ti nah.”
31 And he said to him; Son, you yourself always with me are, and all that [is] mine yours is.
“Tedae a napa loh amah te, ‘Camoe aw, nang tah kai taengah rhawp na om tih, kai koe boeih he nang hut coeng ni.
32 To make merry however and to rejoice it was fitting, because the brother of you this dead was and (is alive, *N+KO) and having been lost (was *k) and is found.
Tedae uum vaengah khaw omngaih ham a kuek ta. Na mana tah aka duek la om coeng dae ha hing koep, poci coeng dae koep ha phoe,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
