The Thing Dem That Luke Write 15:1-32
15 So all the tax collectors and the sinner dem continue coming around him to listen to him.
2 And the Pharisees and the scribe dem continue talking small-small among theirself: “This man can welcome sinners and eat with them.”
3 Then he give them this example, he say:
4 “Who among yor that get 100 sheep, that will lost one of them, and he will not leave the 99 sheep behind in the wilderness and go look for the one that lost until he find it?
5 And when he find it, he can be happy and he can put it on his shoulder.
6 And when he reach to his house, he will call all his friends and his neighbor dem together, and tell them say, ‘Yor join me to be happy, because I na find my sheep that lost.’
7 That the same way, everybody in heaven will be happy when one sinner repent than 99 righteous people who not get any reason to repent.
8 “Or think about one woman who get ten drachma coins,* if she lost one of the drachma coin,* ehn she will sweep her house and check good-good until she find it?
9 And when she find it, she will call her friend dem and her neighbor dem together, and say, ‘Yor join me to be happy, because I na find the drachma coin* that lost from me.’
10 That the same way, the angel dem in heaven can be happy, when one sinner repent.”
11 Then he say: “One man wor having two sons.
12 So the second son tell his pa say, ‘Papa, divide your property dem and give me my own.’ So their pa divide his property dem between two of them.
13 After some days, the second son take all his thing dem and travel to one country that far off. And when he wor there, he started living useless life that make him to lose everything he wor having.
14 When he finish spending all his money, food business got really hard all over in that country, and he wor not having anything.
15 He even went and force his self on one of the citizen for that country, and the person send him on the farm to take care of the pig dem.
16 He wor hungry bad way until he wanted to eat the food the pig dem wor eating, but nobody agree to give him anything.
17 “When he got to know that he really acted foolish, he tell hisself say, ‘Plenty people working for my pa and all of them can eat good and they can be satisfy, but I here and hunger want kill me!
18 I will go back to my pa and tell him say: “Papa, I na sin against God and against you.
19 I not fit for you to call me your son. Just take me to be one of your worker.”’
20 So he went back to his pa. When he wor far off, his pa saw him and started feeling sorry for him and he run and hug him and kiss him.
21 Then the son tell his pa say, ‘Papa, I na sin against God and against you. I not fit for you to call me yor son.’
22 But the father tell his slave dem say, ‘Yor go quick! And bring the best clothes and put it on him. And yor put one ring on his finger and sandals on his foot.
23 Yor must also bring the small fat cow and kill it, and yor let eat and celebrate,
24 because this my son die but he na come back to life. He lost and we na find him.’ And they started enjoying theirself.
25 “And the man first son wor on the farm, when he came from the farm and reach near the house, he hear people playing music and dancing.
26 So he call one of the servant dem and ask what wor happening.
27 He tell him say, ‘Your brother na come back, and your pa kill the small fat cow because he came back and he alright.’
28 But he got vex and he not agree to go inside. Then his pa came and started begging him.
29 Then he tell his pa say, ‘See! All this plenty years I been working for you and I can always obey you, but you never one day give me one small goat for me to enjoy with my friend dem.
30 But as soon this your son who waste all your money on prostitutes came, you kill the small fat cow for him.’
31 Then his pa tell him say, ‘My son, you always been with me, and all the thing dem that for me it for you too.
32 But we just need to celebrate and be happy, because your brother die but he na come back to life; he lost and we na find him.’”
