Luke 15
1 And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming near to him to hear him;
Mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi bankua masumu bayiza kutakana vaba Yesu, muingi banwa.
2 and the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This [man] receives sinners and eats with them.
Bafalisi ayi minlongi mi mina baniunguta ayi batuba: —Mutu wawu wunyakula bankua masumu ayi wundia yawu va kimosi!
3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying,
Buna Yesu wuba kamba nongo yayi:
4 What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
—Nani mutu mu beno buna luidi vuidi khama yimosi yi mameme vayi zimbukila zimbisidi dimeme dimosi, wunkambu sia yekula luvua ayi vua lu mameme mankaka muingi kenda tombi diodi dizimbala, nate kela dimona e?
5 and having found it, he lays it upon his own shoulders, rejoicing;
Bu kadi bakudi, buna mu khini kela kuditudila va mavangiti mandi.
6 and being come to the house, calls together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.
Niandi tula ku nzoꞌandi, buna wela tumisa bakundi bandi ayi bobo bafikimini yandi ayi wuba bakamba: “bila lumona yama khini va kimosi bila ndimueni dimeme diama dizimbala.”
7 I say unto you, that thus there shall be joy in heaven for one repenting sinner, [more] than for ninety and nine righteous who have no need of repentance.
Ndikulukamba ti khini yela ba mu Diyilu mu diambu di nkua masumuwumosi bu kabaludi mavanga mandi yela viokakana ayi yoyi yidi mu tala luvua ayi vua lu basonga bakambulu kuawu mfunu wu balula mavanga mawu.
8 Or, what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek carefully till she find it?
—Voti nketo mbi wowo vuidi dikumi di zimbongo zi bisengo vayi zimbisidi sengo kimosi, wunkambu lemisanga muinda ayi wunkambu kombulanga nzo ayi wunkambu tombanga bumboti sengo kiandi nate kammonakiawu e?
9 and having found it she calls together the friends and neighbours, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.
Bu kamueni kiawu, buna wela kutikisa bakundi bandi ayi bobo bafikimini yandi ayi wela bakamba: “bika lumona yama khini va kimosibila ndimueni sengo kiama ki zimbongo kioki kizimbala.”
10 Thus, I say unto you, there is joy before the angels of God for one repenting sinner.
Bobuawu ndikulukamba ti khini yiwombo yidi kuidi zimbasi zi Nzambi nkua masumu wumosi bu kabaludi mavanga mandi.
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons;
Buna wubuela tuba diaka: —Vaba mutu wumosi wuba ayi bana buadi bababakala.
12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give to me the share of the property that falls [to me]. And he divided to them what he was possessed of.
Nleki wunkamba dise diandi: “a tata, bika wuphana ndambu ki kiuka kiama!” Buna dise diba kabudila kiuka kiandi.
13 And after not many days the younger son gathering all together went away into a country a long way off, and there dissipated his property, living in debauchery.
Ndambu yi bilumbu bu bivioka, nleki wutota bima biandi ayi wuyenda mu tsi yi thama. Kuna kamana fukisila bima biandi bioso mu luzingu lu divunzi.
14 But when he had spent all there arose a violent famine throughout that country, and he began to be in want.
Bu kamana fukisa bibio, buna kanda kingolo ki nzala ki yiza bua mu tsi beni ayi wutona mona nzala.
15 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Buna wuyenda sonama mu kisalu kuidi pfumu yimosi yi tsiyina. Buna pfumu beni wumfidisa ku zitsola ziandi mu diambu kenda sunganga zingulu.
16 And he longed to fill his belly with the husks which the swine were eating; and no one gave to him.
Buna wuzola kuandi wesa dikutu diandi mu dianga bidia bi zingulu vayi kadi mutu kasia kumvana biawu ko.
17 And coming to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have abundance of bread, and I perish here by famine.
Buna wutona yindula mu tsi andi ntima: “bisadi bioso bi dise diama bindianga boso buididi luzolo luawu vayi minu kuaku ndilembu fua nzala!
18 I will rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee;
Ndieka telama, ndieka kuenda kuidi dise diama ayi ndielakunkamba: Tatꞌama, ndivodidi masumu kuidi Nzambi ayi kuidi ngeyo.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
Ndisi fuana diaka ko bathedila muanꞌaku vayi bika wuthangila banga kisadi kiaku.”
20 And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.
Buna wutelama ayi wuyenda kuidi siandi. Buna wukidi thamasiandi wummona ayi kiadi kingolo kimbuila. Buna wuyenda dengana nsualumuanꞌandi, wumbumbakana ayi wumfifa bibesi.
21 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.
Buna muana wunkamba: “Tata ndivodidi masumu kuidi diyilu ayi kuidi ngeyo, ndisi fuanadiaka ko bathedila muanꞌaku.”
22 But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in [it], and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;
Vayi dise dikamba bisadi biandi: “Lusia nsualu, lutuala kikhutu kilutidi kitoko ayi lumvuatisakiawu; lumvuatisa pheti mu nlembo ayi lumvuatisa zisapatu.
23 and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
Bika lutuala muana wungombi wu mafuta ayi luvonda wawu. Tudianu ayi tuvangisa nyengo;
24 for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry.
bila muanꞌama wawu wubedi wufua vayi wufulukidi; wubedi wuzimbala ayiwumonikini.” Buna batona nyengo mu khini.
25 And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming [up], he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Mu thangu yina, muanꞌandi wu nkulutu wuba sala ku tsola. Bu kaba vutuka ayi bu kafikama ayi nzo wuwa miziki ayi makinu.
26 And having called one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be.
Buna wutumisa kisadi kimosi ayi wunyuvula keni mambu mbi malembu vioki kuna.
27 And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well.
Kisadi beni kimvutudila: “Keti khimbꞌaku niandi vutukidi. Dise diaku divondisidi muana ngombi wu mafuta bila wummueni wumvimba ayi wukambu kimbevo.”
28 But he became angry and would not go in. And his father went out and besought him.
Buna nkulutu wufuema ayi wumanga kota. Siandi wutotuka ayi wunleba.
29 But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry with my friends:
Vayi niandi wumvutudila: “Tala, mimvu miwombo ndimeni kusadila vayi kadi khumbu yimosi ndisia tinguna ko zithumunu ziaku, ayi kadi khumbu yimosi wusia kuphana ko muana khombo muingi ndimona khini va kimosi ayi bakundi bama.
30 but when this thy son, who has devoured thy substance with harlots, is come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
Vayi muanꞌaku, mutu wowo wumana sikisa kiuka kiaku va kimosi ayi bandumba zi leta bu kizidi, buna vondisidi muana ngombi wu mafuta mu diambu diandi.”
31 But he said to him, Child, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.
Siandi wumvutudila: “A muanꞌama, ngeyo zithangu zioso widi yama va kimosi mu ayi bima biosobiobi phuidi ngeyo vuidi biawu.
32 But it was right to make merry and rejoice, because this thy brother was dead and has come to life again, and was lost and has been found.
Vayi mboti mu vangisa nyengo ayi mona khini bila khombꞌaku yayiwubedi wufua ayi wufulukidi, wubedi wuzimbala ayi monikini.”
