1Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
1 Jangal taakoy da zunubikooney kulu goono ga maan Yesu gaa zama ngey ma maa se.
2And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
2 Amma Farisi fonda borey da asariya dondonandikoy jance ka ne: «Bora din goono ga zunubikooniyaŋ kubayni ka ŋwa i banda.»
3And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
3 Yesu na misa fo ci i se ka ne:
4What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
4 «Mate no araŋ boro fo ga te, d'a gonda feeji zangu, day afo ma daray a se? Manti a ga wayga cindi yagga din naŋ ganjo ra ka koy ka wo kaŋ daray din ceeci hal a ma di a?
5And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
5 Waato kaŋ a di a mo, a g'a sambu nga jasa gaa, a ga farhã mo.
6And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
6 D'a to fu, kal a ma nga corey da nga gorokasiney kulu margu ka ne i se: ‹Araŋ ma farhã ay banda, zama ay di ay feejo kaŋ daray!›
7I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
7 Ay ga ne araŋ se: Yaadin mo no i ga farhã beena ra zunubikooni folloŋ boŋ kaŋ tuubi, ka bisa adilante wayga cindi yagga kaŋ si laami nda tuubiyaŋ.
8Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
8 Wala wayboro kaŋ gonda nzarfu tamma way, da afolloŋ daray a se, manti a ga fitilla diyandi ka fuwo haabu, k'a ceeci nda himma hal a ma di a?
9And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
9 Waato kaŋ a di a mo, kal a ma nga corey da nga gorokasiney margu ka ne: ‹Araŋ ma farhã ay banda zama ay di ay nzarfu tamma kaŋ daray ay se.›
10Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
10 Yaadin mo no ay ga ne araŋ se: farhã goono ga te Irikoy malaykey jine zunubikooni folloŋ kaŋ tuubi sabbay se.»
11And he said, A certain man had two sons:
11 A ne mo: «Boro fo gonda ize aru hinka.
12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
12 Koda ne nga baabo se: ‹Ay baaba, m'ay no ay baa ni arzaka ra kaŋ ay ga kokor ka du.› Baabo na nga arzaka fay ka no i se.
13And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
13 Jirbi kayna yaŋ banda, kala koda na nga jinayey margu k'i ciya nooru, ka koy laabu fo kaŋ ga mooru. Noodin a na nga arzaka darandi furkutaray goray ra.
14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
14 Waato kaŋ a n'a kulu ŋwa, kala haray bambata te laabo din ra. Moori na arwaso di.
15And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
15 A koy ka sarku laabo din boro fo banda, nga mo n'a daŋ saajo ra a ma nga gursuney kuru.
16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
16 A goono ga bini a ma nga gunda toonandi nda kobtey kaŋ gursuney goono ga ŋwa, amma boro kulu man'a no.
17And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
17 Amma waato kaŋ a laakalo ye a gaa, a ne: ‹Ay baaba goy-izey kulu gonda ŋwaari kaŋ ga wasa hal a ma cindi i se, ay mo, ay go ne ga bu da haray!
18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
18 Ay ga tun ka koy ay baabo do. Ay ga ne a se: Ay baaba, ay na zunubi te Irikoy kaŋ go beena ra se da ni se mo.
19And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
19 Ay mana to i ma ne ay ya ni ize no koyne. M'ay ye danga ni goy-ize fo cine.›
20And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
20 A tun mo ka kaa nga baabo do. Amma za a go nangu mooro, baabo n'a fonnay. A bina hẽ da bakaraw. A zuru ka koy, k'a di k'a ganday, ka soobay k'a sunsum.
21And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
21 Izo mo ne a se: ‹Ay baaba, ay na zunubi te Irikoy kaŋ go beena ra se da ni se mo. Ay mana to i ma ne ay ya ni ize no koyne.›
22But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
22 Amma baabo ne nga bannyey se: ‹Araŋ ma waasu ka kande kwaay kaŋ ga boori nd'i kulu ka daŋ a gaa. Araŋ ma korbay daŋ a kamba gaa da taamey mo a cey gaa.
23And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
23 Wa kande handayzo kaŋ i kuru hal a naasu mo k'a wi. Iri ma ŋwa ka farhã.
24For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
24 Zama ay izo wo, a bu, a ye ka funa. A daray, a ye ka margu.› Kal i sintin ka farhã.
25Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
25 Amma ize hay-jina go fari. A goono ga kaa, kal a maan fuwo do. Kaŋ a maa dooni nda kobi nda gaani,
26And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
26 a na bannya fo ce ka hayey din baaru hã.
27And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
27 Kal a ne a se: ‹Ni nya izo no ka kaa. Ni baaba mo na handayze naasa wi zama a di a baani samay.›
28And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
28 Amma beero te bine; a wangu ka furo. Baabo fatta k'a faali.
29And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
29 Amma a tu ka ne nga baaba se: ‹Guna. Jiiri boobo no ay goono ga goy ni se. Ay mana ni sanni daaru baa ce fo. Ni man'ay no baa hincin ize fo zama ay ma farhã, in d'ay corey.
30But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
30 Amma waato kaŋ ni izo wo kaa, nga kaŋ na ni arzaka darandi kaaruwey do, kala ni na handayzo kaŋ i kuru hal a naasu wi a se.›
31And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
31 Day baabo ne a se: ‹Ay izo, alwaati kulu ni go ay do. Hay kulu kaŋ ga ti ay wane, ni wane no.
32It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
32 Amma a ga hima iri ma farhã ka te bine kaani, zama ni nya izo bu, a ye ka funa. A daray, a ye ka margu.› »
