Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
Ligono limonga vatola kodi na vevambudila Chapanga vamahele vahambili kumuyuwanila Yesu.
2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
Vafalisayu na vawula va malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa vakatumbula kung'ung'uta, “Mumlola mundu mwenuyu, akuvakemela vandu vevambudila Chapanga na kavili ilya nawu!”
3 He told them this parable:
Yesu akavajovela luhumu ulu,
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?
“Ngati mmonga winu avi na mambelele, miya yimonga na akamanya kuvya mmonga pagati yavi ayagili, yati ikita kyani? Yati akugaleka mambelele tisini na tisa gala kulugangatu na kuhamba kulonda yila yeyiyagili mbaka ampatayi.
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Ngati amuwona yati akuyigega mumavega kwa luheku.
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!’
Peihika panyumba, Yati akuvakemela vamukozi vaki na veitama nawu papipi na kuvajovela, ‘Tivyai na luheku pamonga na nene ndava niliweni limbelele langu lelayagili.’
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.
Mewawa nikuvajovela, yati kwivya na luheku kunani kwa Chapanga, mundu mmonga mweakumbudila Chapanga, paileka kubuda, kuliku vandu tisini na tisa vabwina na viganikwa lepi kumuwuyila Chapanga.”
8 “Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
“Amala mdala yoki mweavi na mashonga kumi, limonga likamyaga, yati ikita wuli? Nakupambika hahi, na kutyanyila nyumba na kuilonda neju mbaka ayilola?
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!’
Akamala kuipata, akuvakemela vankozi vaki na veitama nawu papipi na kuvajovela, ‘Mvya na luheku pamonga na nene muni nilipatili lishonga langu lelayagili!’
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
Mewawa nikuvajovela, ndi chavivya na luheku vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga, ndava ya mundu mmonga mweambudili Chapanga, paileka kubudila Chapanga.”
11 He said, “A certain man had two sons.
Yesu akayendelela kujova. Kwavili na mundu mmonga mweavi na vana vasongolo vavili.
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
Mdebe yula akamjovela dadi waki, Dadi, nipelayi uhali wa vindu vyeviganikiwa kupewa, Dadi waki akavagavanisila vindu vyaki.
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.
Gapitili lepi Magono gamahele, mwana mdebe yula akagulisa vindu vyaki vyoha, na kuwuka na mashonga geapewili, akahamba kumulima wa kutali, kwenuko akazipomondana kwa mambu ga ukemi mashonga gala.
14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
Peamalili kila chindu cheavili nachu, ndi yikahumila njala yivaha pamulima wenuwo na mwene akatumbula kung'ahika.
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
Akahamba kwa mkolonjinji mmonga, wa mulima wenuwo na kuyupa lihengu, mwene akampela lihengu la kudima maguluvi kumgunda waki.
16 He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
Anogili kulya chakulya cha maguluvi gala, nambu kawaka mundu mweampeli chindu cha kulya.
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!
Mumbele luhala lwamuyili akajova mumtima waki. Kuvi na vana lihengu, valinga kwa Dadi wangu, vevilya na kusigalisa chakulya na nene nifwa penapa na njala!
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
Yati niwuya kwa dadi wangu na kumjovela, Dadi, nimbudili Chapanga na nikubudili veve mewa.
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
Niganikiwa lepi kavili kukemelewa, mwana waku, unikita ngati mmonga wa vana lihengu vaku.
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, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Ndi akatumbula lugendu kuwuya kwa dadi waki. “Mwene peavili cha kutali, dadi waki amuweni, kwa mtima wa lipyana amjumbalili na kumjambusa cha uganu.
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.’
Mwana yula akamjovela, ‘Dadi, nimbudili Chapanga, na nikubudili veve mewa. Nene niganikiwa lepi kavili kukemelewa mwana waku.’
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 sandals on his feet.
Nambu dadi waki akavajovela vanalihengu vaki, ‘Kanyata!’ Muleta nyula yabwina mumuwalika. Mumuwalika na pete pamonga na champali!
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
Mukatola mpapakasi wa mweakulupi mukahinja, tilyayi na kuselebuka!
24 for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
Ndava muni mwana vangu uyu kwa nene avi ngati afwili, nambu hinu akona mumi, ayagili hinu awonikini. Vakatumbula kuselebuka.”
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
“Lukumbi lwenulo muhaja waki avi akona kumgunda. Ndi peawuyayi kuhegelela panyumba, akayuwana vilulu na vandu vikina ng'oma.
26 He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
Akamkemela mmonga wa mtumisi kumkota, ‘Chivii kyani kwenuko?’
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.’
Mtumisi yula akayangula, ‘Mlongo waku awuyili kunyumba, na dadi waku amuhinjili mpapakasi mweakulupili, muni ampatili akona mumi.’”
28 But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
“Nambu mvaha yula akavya na ligoga na kubela kuyingila mugati. Ndi dadi waki akahuma kuvala na kumuyupa neju ayingila mugati.
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.
Nambu mwene akamyangula dadi waki, ‘Lola, Nikuhengili mahengu Miyaka yoha iyi ngati mvanda changabela malagizu gaku hati padebe. Unipeli kyani? Unipeli lepi hati kamene kadebe na nene nganiselebwiki na vankozi vangu.
30 But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
Nambu mwana waku uyu mwepomondini mashonga gaku pamonga na vakemi, peabweli umuhinji mpapakasi mweakulupili!’
31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
Dadi waki akamyangula, ‘Mwana vangu, veve uvi pamonga na nene magono goha na vindu vyoha vyenivi navyu vyaku.
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.’”
Nambu yatiganili kukita mselebuko na luheku ndava mlongo waku mweavi ngati afwili, hinu akona mumi, mweayagili nambu hinu awonikini.’”
