Luka 15
1 Mbe abhatobhesa bho obhushuru bhona na abhebhibhi abhandi bhejile ku Yesu okumutegelesha.
Then drew near to him all the tax collectors and sinners to hear him.
2 Abhafarisayo bhona na abhandiki nibhalunduma nibhaika ati, “Omunu unu kakumilila abhebhibhi nakingila okulya nabho.”
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Nio Yesu naika echijejekanyo chinu kubhene,
And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
4 “Niga unu mwimwe alina jinama egana akabhushako imwi, atakusiga ejindi makumi mwenda na mwenda ibhara, akaja okulonda inu yabhulile okukingila ao alaibhonela.
What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he loseth one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth it?
5 Akefula naibhona kaiyeka kumabhega Gaye nakondelelwa.
And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 Akakinga mumusi, nabhilikila abhasani bhaye na abhekashanya bhaye nabhabhwila ati 'mukondelelwe lwakutyo anye nili, kulwokubha naibhona inama yani eyo yaliga ibhulile.'
And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 Enibhabhwila kutya mulwire ubhubhayo obhukondelelwa kulwo omunu umwi oyokata ebhibhibhi, kukila abhalengelesi makumi mwenda na mwenda bhanu bhatali na mwoyo gwo ukuta ebhibhibhi.
I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance.
8 Amo ni mugasiki unu ali na jiyela jomunyalaga ekumi, nabhusha imwi, atakukongesha itala nakukumba inyumba nokulonda kwa amanaga okukingila ao alaibhonela?
Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loseth one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she findeth it?
9 Akefula aibhwene kabhilikila abhasani bhaye na abhanyaluguyo bhaye nabhabhwila mukondelelwe lwa kutyo any nili, kulwokubha nasubha okubhona iyela yani eyonaliga nabhusishe.
And 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.
10 Kulwejo enibhabhwila ati bhulio obhukondelelwa imbele ya bhamalaika bha Nyamuanga kulwo omunu umwi unu kata ebhibhibhi.”
Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11 Nio Yesu naika ati, “Omunu umwi aliga ana bhana bhabhili.
And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 Omulela nabhwila esemwene ati, 'Lata nana libhala lya imali yomwandu gunu enilya. Kulwejo esemwene nabhagabhila imali bhona bhabhili.
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided to them his living.
13 Jichali kulabhao nsiku nyafu uliya omulela nakumanya ebhyaye bhona nagenda muchalo chakula, ejile akinga eyo nabha wakulasa-lasa jiyela jaye, nagulaga ebhinu bhitali na mugaso, ejindi nalasa-lasa mubhunyamuke.
And 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.
14 Ejile amalao jiyela injala nituka muchalo echo namba okulapalapa.
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 Neya nagenda okwilondela emilimu ku mwikasi umwi owechalo echo, mbe namusila mwisambu lyaye okugabhila jimpunu jaika.
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 Nekumbulila okulya amasusu ganu galibhwaga jimpunu kulwokubha atabhaoga munu wokumuyana chonachona echokulya.
And he was longing to fill his belly with the husks that the swine ate: and no man gave to him.
17 Ejile akeganilisha mumwoyo gwaye, nelomela ati, 'Abhagaya bha lata nibhalinga, abhalya nibheguta kanye nilyanu enifwa nomweko!
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger!
18 Enisokanu nigende kulata nokumubhwila ati, “Lata nikaile mulwile na imbele ya ameso gao. Jiteile nibhilikilwe mwana wao
I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 lindi; nunteo Leo oumwi wa abhagaya bhao.'”
And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 Nio nemuka nagenda kwe esemwene. Achali kula esemwene amulolele naja namufwila chigongo nabhilima bhwangu namufumbela nokumunyunya.
And 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.
21 Omwana uliya nabhwila esemwene ati, 'lata niyabhiye olwire na imbele ya ameso gao nitakwiya okubhilikilwa mwana wao.'
And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 Esemwene nabhwila abhakosi bhaye ati, 'mulete bhwangu omwenda gwekisi, mumufwafye mumutulemo ipete muchala ne ebhilato mumagulu.
But 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:
23 Mukamala mulete echinyara echinule muchinje chilye chikondelelwe.
And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 Kulwokubha omwana wani aliga afuye olyanu ni muanga. Aliga abhulile nawe abhonekana, nibhamba okutela akaila.
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 Mbe omwana waye omukulu aliga alimwisambu. Aliga achaja alebhelee ika nongwa obhulaka bhwa jinyimbo no obhwenywa.
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Nabhilikila omugaya umwi namubhusha ati amagambo ago gana nsongaki?
And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 Omugaya namubhwila ati omutoto wao aja lelo na esomwana amuchinjila echinyara chenule kulwokubha asubha ali muanga.'
And he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28 Omwana omukulu nabhiililwa nalema okwingila munju esemwene nasoka anja naja okumulembeleja.
And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore his father came out, and entreated him.
29 nawe nasubhya esemwene ati, “Lola anye nakukoleye myaka myafu, nchaliga okugaya amalagililo gao, nawe uchaliga kunana akanabhusi, koleleki ninyenyege na abhasani bhani.
And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither have I at any time transgressed thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30 Nawe ajokuja omwana wao unu alasa-lasaga imali yao yona ali na abhasimbe bha muchilabho wamuchinjila echinyara echinule
But as soon as this thy son had come, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 Esemwene namubhwila ati, 'mwana wani, awe uliamwi nanye nsiku jona na bhinu nilinabhyo bhyona ni bhyao.
And he said to him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 Tali jaliga jili jakisi kwise okukola olumula nokukondelelwa, omula wanyu unu aliga afuye, olyanu nimuanga; aliga abhulile na lelo abhoneka
It was right that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
