Luka 15
1 Basi bhatoza ushuru bhoha ni bhangi bhenye dhambi bhahidili kwa Yesu ni kump'elekesya.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
2 Mafarisayo ni bhaandishi bhanung'uniki bhakajobha, “Munu ojho akabhakaribisya bhenye dhambi na ilya nabhu.”
The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
3 Yesu akajobha mfano obho kwa bhene, akajobha
He told them this parable:
4 “Niani kwa muenga, kama ajhe ni kondoo mia moja ni akajhaghayi mmonga bhabhi akabhaleka bhala tisini na tisa mu nyika, ni kulota kulonda jhola jha ajhaghili hadi ambonayi?
“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?
5 Ni mwene akamalayi kun'kabha akambeka mumabega pa muene ni kufurahela.
When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 Bhoafikili mu nyumba, akabhakuta marafiki zake ni majirani bha muene akabhajobhela muhobhokayi pamonga ni nene, kwa kujha nikabhili kondoo jha akajhag'heli.'
When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’
7 Nikabhajobhela mebhu kubetakujha ni furaha kumbinguni kwandabha jhe mwenye dhambi mmonga jhaitubu, zaidi jha bhenye haki tisini na tisa ambabho bhajhelepi ni hajha jha kutubu.
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.
8 Aajhe n'dala gani mwenye sarafu kumi sya hela, akajha ghibhwayi ni sarafu jhimonga, ibetakubhwasya lepi taa ni kufyaghila nyumba ni kulonda kwa bidii hadi paibetakujhikabha?
“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?
9 Na akamalayi kujhibhona akabhakuta marafiki zake ni majirani zake kubhajobhela muhobhokayi pamonga ni nene, kwa kujha nijhikabhili kabhele sarafu jha nijhasili.
When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’
10 Hata hivyo nikabhajobhela kujhe ni furaha palongolo pa malaika bha K'yara kwa ndabha jha mwenye dhambi mmonga jha ibeta kutubu.
Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
11 Ni Yesu akajobha, “Munu mmonga ajhe ni bhana bhabhele
He said, “A certain man had two sons.
12 y'ola n'debe akan'jobhela dadimunu, Dadi nipelayi sehemu jha mali jhanistahili kujhirithi. Hivyo agawenye mali sya muene kati jha bhene.
The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
13 Magono mingilepi n'debe jhola akabhonganiya fyohe fyeimiliki akalota nchi jha patali, ni okhu akatapanya mali ni hela sya muene, kwa kuhemela fenu fyefilondekeghe lepi, ni kutabhwanya hela sya muene kwa anasa.
Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and travelled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
14 Ni muene bho atumili fyoha njala mbaha jhajhingili mu nchi jhela ni muene akajhanda kujha mu uhitaji.
When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
15 Akalota ni kujiajiri muene kwa mmonga ghwa raia bhwa nchi jhela, ni muene akampeleke kun'gonda kulisya maghorobhi.
He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16 Na akajha inoghela kwishibisya kwa, maganda ghaghalijheghe maghorobhi kwandabha ajhelepi munu jha ampelili khenu kyokyoha khela abhwesya kulya.
He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
17 Ila jhola muana n'debe bho azingatili mu muoyo bhwa muene, ajobhili 'Ni bhatumishi bhalenga bha dadijhangu bhajhe ni kyakulya kingi kya kutosha ni nene nijhe apa nifwa ni njala!
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!
18 Nibhoka ni kulota kwa dadijhangu, ni kun'jobhela, “Dadi nikukosili juu jha mbingu ni palongolo pa mihu jhobhi.
I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
19 Nikastahili lepi kukutibhwa mwanabhu kabhele; nifwanyajhi kama mmonga ghwa bhatumishi bha jhobhi.”
I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
20 Ndipo akabhoka akalota kwa dadi munu. Bho ajhe patali dadi munu ambwene akambonela huruma akalota mbio ni kun'kumbatila ni kumbusu.
“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.
21 Mwana jhola akan'jobhela, “dadi nikosili juu jha mbingu ni palongolo pa mihu gha bhebhe nikastahili lepi kukutibhwa mwanabhu.'
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.’
22 Dadi munu jhola abhajobhili bhatumishi bha muene, muliletayi livazi lyalijhele linofu, mukamfwekayi mufwatikayi ni pete mu kikonji ni filatu mu magolo.
“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.
23 Kisha mundetayi jhola jhaanenipi mukan'chinjayi tulieyi ni kuhobhoka.
Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
24 Kwa kujha mwanabhangu afuili ni muene ajhe hai. Ajhele ajhaghili ni muene abhonekene bhakajhanda kushangilila.
for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
25 Basi jhola mwanamunu mbaha ajhele kun'gonda. Bho ihida ni kukaribila pa nyumba ap'eliki ny'embu ni michezo.
“Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Akan'kuta mtumishi mmonga ni kun'kota mambo agha maana yake kiki?
He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
27 Mtumishi akan'jobhela mbenabhu ahidili ni dadi waku an'chinjili litoli jha anonili kwandabha akerebhuiki kinofu.'
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.’
28 Mwana mbaha akadada akabela kujhingila mgati ni dadimunu akahoma kwibhala kumsihi. Ila akan'jibu dadimunu akajobha, 'Langayi
But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
29 nene nikutumikili kwa miaka ghimehele, wala nikosilepi amri jha jhobhi, unipelili lepi mwana mene, ili nisherehekelayi ni marafiki zangu.
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.
30 Lakini bho ahidili ojho mwanabhu jhaa tapenye mali gha jhobhi ghoha pamonga ni makahaba un'chinjili litoli lya linenepi.
But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
31 Dadimunu akan'jobhela, 'Mwanabhangu, bhebhe ujhele pamonga ni nene magono ghoha ni fyoha fyanijhe nafu ndo fyajhobhi.
“He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
32 Ila jhajhele kinofu kwa tete kubhomba sherehe ni kubhoka, ndongobhu ojho afuili, ni henu muomi; ajhele ajhele ajhaghili ni muene abhonekene.”
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.’”
