Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
Loino boonse basimutelo abamwi basizibi bakalikuza kuzoswiilizya Jesu.
2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
Bloonse baFalisi abalembi bakatongooka chabo chabo, kabaamba kuti, “Ooyu mwaalumi ulatambula basizibi, alimwi ulalya ambabo.”
3 He told them this parable:
Jesu wakabaambila chikozyanisyo eechi, wakati,
4 “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
“Ngwani aakati kenu uunga ulaba aambelele zilimwaanda mpawo yomwe yasweekwa, aleke kusiya zili makumi musanu amakumi one alamusanu azine mulusaka, akuya kukuyanduula yomwe mane akayibone?
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Mpawo nayijana uyooyipika aamakuko akubotelwa
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!’
Naaboola kumuunzi wiita benziinyina ambayakilene aabo, akubaambila kuti, 'Amubotelwe antoomwe andime, nkaambo ndayibona mbelele yangu yakasweekede.'
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.
Ndiliikumwaambila kuti nikuba boobo, kuyooba lukondo kujulu aatala asizibi omwe wasanduka, kwiinda aabo balimakumi miusanu amakumi one alamusanu abane basandukide kale.
8 “Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, would not light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
Nakuti ngwani wachikayintu ulangodo zya siliva zilikumi, kuti kwasweeka yomwe, uunga ulaleka kumunika, kuyiila ng'anda akuyanduula loko mane akiijane?
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!’
Nayijana ulayita beenzinyina ambayakilene aabo kaamba kuti, 'Amuboole tubotelwe nkaambo ndayibona nsiliva yandisweekede.'
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
Nikuba boobo ndikumwaambila kuti kuli kukondwa kunembo lyabangelo ba Leza aatala asizibi omwe uusanduka.”
11 He said, “A certain man had two sons.
Mpawo Jesu wakati, “Kwakali mwaalumi wakali aabana balombe babili,
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
aawo mwana muniini wakati kuli wisi, “Ndeende, ndipe buvubi mumweelwe uulangene aandime.” Mpawo wakaaba buvubi aakati kabo.
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.
Kakutanayiknda mazuba miingi, mwana muniini wakabungania buvubi bwakwe wiinka aabo kunyika iilikule ooko wakakunyonyoona buvubi bwakwe mukupana bunjaka.
14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
Lino nakamaninsya zyoonse kwakaba nzala mpati munyika yoonse, mpawo wakatalika kubula.
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
Wakayinka kuyolipeda kubelekela umwi wabantu bamuchisi eecho, wakakumutuma kusanina ngulube mumuunda wakwe.
16 He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
Wakalikunoonga wajana kukondwa naalya tukuli twakali kuligwa ngulube nkaambo taakwe wakalikumupa chakulya.
17 But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I am dying with hunger!
Mpawo aawo mwana muniini ooyu nakaboola kumizeezo yakwe, wakati, 'Mbangane babelesi ba ndeende balikulya chakulya chizulila, mpawo me ndaano ndikufwa aanzala!
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
Ndilanyampuka aano ndiye kuli ndeende ndikatedi, “Ndeende ndakabisizya julu anduwe.
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
Nsichikwe bulemu bwakwiitwa kuti mndimwana wako; ndichite kuti ndibe uumwi wanbabelesi bako.'”
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.
Mpawo mwana miniini ooyo wakazwa kunyika nkwaakabede waboola kuli wisi. Aawo naakachili kulele kule alimwi wisi wakamubona wabotelwa, walkachijaana, wakumumbungatila akumumyonta.
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 wakati kuli nguwe, 'Ndeende, ndakabisizya julu anduwe, nsichikwe bulemu bwakwiitwa kuti ndili mwana wako.'
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.
Wisi wakati kubabelesi bakwe, 'Mufwambaamne mwee te jansi bbotu kwiindilila, mumusasike, alimwi mubikke nweenwe kukuboko kwakwe, ansangu kumawulu aakwe.
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
Mpawo mweete mwana wan'gombe uneneede mumujaye. Atupobole tubotelwe!
24 for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
Nkaambo mwana wangu wakalisweekede, lino waboneka.' Mpawo bakatalika kubotelwa
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Lino mwana wakwe mupati wakachili kumuunda. Aawo naakaboola akusika afwiifwi amuunzi, wakamvwa miimbo akuzyana.
26 He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
Wakayita umwi mubelesi wabuzya kuti zyaambanzi eezi.
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.’
Mubelesi wakamwaambila kuti, 'Mwanike wako waboola kumuunzi alimwi wuso wajaya mwana wang'ombe uuneneede nkaambo waboola kali muumi.'
28 But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
Mwana mupati wakanyema alimwi taakanjila pe mukati, wisi wakazwa aanze, kuzo mukombelezya.
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.
Pesi mwana mupati wakasandula wisi wati, “Langa, eeyi minyaka myiingi yoonse ndakubelekela chabuzike, alimwi taakwe nindakatyola nuuba omwe mulawu wako, pesi taakwe nwakandipa mwana wampongo kuti ndibotelwe abeenzuma.
30 But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
Pesi mbaboola, ooyo wakakulya lubono lwako abasi bwaamu, wamujiila mwana wangombe uneneede.'
31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
Wisi wakamusandula kuti, “Mwanaangu ukkede koli aandime chiindi choonse, alimwi choonse changu nchichako.
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.’”
Pesi chali chibotu kuti tubotelwe nkaambo mwanike wako ooyu wakalifwide; lino wapona; wakali sweekede alimwi waboneka.'”
