1Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
1 Jangal taakoy da zunubikooney kulu goono ga maan Yesu gaa zama ngey ma maa se.
2The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
2 Amma Farisi fonda borey da asariya dondonandikoy jance ka ne: «Bora din goono ga zunubikooniyaŋ kubayni ka ŋwa i banda.»
3He told them this parable.
3 Yesu na misa fo ci i se ka ne:
4 “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found 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?
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
5 Waato kaŋ a di a mo, a g'a sambu nga jasa gaa, a ga farhã mo.
6 When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to 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!›
7 I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who 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.
8 Or what woman, if she had ten drachma A drachma coin was worth about 2 days wages for an agricultural laborer. coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found 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?
9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma 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.›
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
10 Yaadin mo no ay ga ne araŋ se: farhã goono ga te Irikoy malaykey jine zunubikooni folloŋ kaŋ tuubi sabbay se.»
11He said, “A certain man had two sons.
11 A ne mo: «Boro fo gonda ize aru hinka.
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ He divided his livelihood between them.
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.
13 Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property 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.
14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
14 Waato kaŋ a n'a kulu ŋwa, kala haray bambata te laabo din ra. Moori na arwaso di.
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
15 A koy ka sarku laabo din boro fo banda, nga mo n'a daŋ saajo ra a ma nga gursuney kuru.
16 He wanted to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
16 A goono ga bini a ma nga gunda toonandi nda kobtey kaŋ gursuney goono ga ŋwa, amma boro kulu man'a no.
17 But when he came to himself he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying 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!
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight.
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.
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
19 Ay mana to i ma ne ay ya ni ize no koyne. M'ay ye danga ni goy-ize fo cine.›
20 “He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with 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.
21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your 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.›
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. 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.
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate;
23 Wa kande handayzo kaŋ i kuru hal a naasu mo k'a wi. Iri ma ŋwa ka farhã.
24 for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’ They began to celebrate.
24 Zama ay izo wo, a bu, a ye ka funa. A daray, a ye ka margu.› Kal i sintin ka farhã.
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music 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,
26 He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on.
26 a na bannya fo ce ka hayey din baaru hã.
27 He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
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.›
28 But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore his father came out, and begged him.
28 Amma beero te bine; a wangu ka furo. Baabo fatta k'a faali.
29 But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate 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.
30 But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
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.›
31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
31 Day baabo ne a se: ‹Ay izo, alwaati kulu ni go ay do. Hay kulu kaŋ ga ti ay wane, ni wane no.
32 But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He 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.› »
