Luke 15
1 Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him.
Pu avasonga songo voni na vange avatula nogwa valutile khwa Yisu nu khupulihincha.
2 And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
Pu Avikhwandikha vavipile nukhunchova, “Umunu uyu ikhuvahegelencha avanyasambi nu khulya paniniye na vene.”
3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying:
Puu uYisu akhanchova ikhihwani khuvene akhanchova akhata
4 What man of you that hath an hundred sheep: and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which was lost, until he find it?
“Veni khulyumwe uvi alining'osi “100” nchingayage yimo, pu sakhahege khulonda yila yimo iyiyagile sikhunchilekha “99” iluta khulonda yila yimo, iluta khulonda iyi yagile nu khuyivona?
5 And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing:
Nu mwene wayiwene pu ikhumibikha palivega nu khuhovokha.
6 And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost?
Nifikha khunjengo, ikhuvilanga avanine na avabadihine akhavavula akhata muhovokhage paniniye nune, ukhuva niyiwene ing'osi yango iyi khayagile.
7 I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.
nikhuvavula vulevule ukhuta khulava nu khuhovokha umo unyasambi vuipela nu khukhuta, ukhulutilila avanyavulwel vala “99” avu vene vanchila khusita khupela
8 Or what woman having ten groats; if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?
Khwale veni udala uvi iyancha ihela “10” nu khuyancha ihela yimo sa khatole ikhisikhi nukhumwemwesya nukhuhuma ukhulonda na makha goni nukhupata ihela yimo?
9 And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost.
Vu awene iyiwene ihela ya mwene ikhuvilonga avanine nu khuvilanga avanine nukhuvilanga avabadihine nukhuta muhovokhage panine nune ukhuva niyiwene ihela iyikhayagile.
10 So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.
Pu nikhuvavula nita khukhule ukhuhovokha khuvulongolo khunsuhwa nu Nguluve ulwakhuva unyasambi yumo apelile.”
11 And he said: A certain man had two sons:
Nu Yisu akhanchova, “Umunu umo ale na vana vavili
12 And the younger of them said to his father: Father, give me the portion of substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his substance.
umwana udebe akhambula udadaye, Dada ume iligavo ilya vuhele uwa kyuma iyinogilwe khulyione nu vuhale. Pu akhagava ikyuma mugati imbene.
13 And not many days after, the younger son, gathering all together, went abroad into a far country: and there wasted his substance, living riotously.
Pu isikhu nchi nyingi umwana udebe akhalundamana fyoni ifyalinafyo akhaluta khukhilunga ikya khuvutali nukhu, akha khinila ihela nchoni, nu khugula ifinu ifipelwapelwa, ifi vivi nu khutaganiya ikyuma nu khuhovokha ne khilunga.
14 And after he had spent all, there came a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
Umwene vualile ikyuma kyooni, inchala imbaha yikhingila ikhilunga khila pu akhava ne njela imbaha.
15 And he went and cleaved to one of the citizens of that country. And he sent him into his farm to feed swine.
Akhaluta khulonda imbombo khu munu uva khilunga khila, nu mwene akhang'ilikha khukyalo khya mwene ukhudima ingube.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him.
Pu alikhunogwa ukhulya nu khwiguta na makhandi aganchisinche ingube, ulwakhuva, asikhuli umunu uvi apile ikyakhulya.
17 And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my father’s house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger?
Pu umwana udebe akhasaga munumbula ya mwene, akhanchova va vombi, akhanchova vavombi valingi khwa dada vilya nu khunywa ifingi nune nifwa ne nchala!
18 I will arise, and will go to my father, and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee:
Nune nihega nilutakhwa dada vango, nukhumbula, “Dada usyikhile khukyanya na pa khilunga na khumiho gakho.
19 I am not worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
Sanenogile ukhuta neve mwana vakho; umbikhe ndumbomba mbombo vakho.”
20 And rising up he came to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and running to him fell upon his neck, and kissed him.
Pu akhahega akhaluta khwa dada va mwene. Vu anchige khuvutali udada va mwene akhambona nu khuvona ikhisa akhaluta na mbivoi nu khunyila nu khukhumbata nu khubusu.
21 And the son said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, I am not now worthy to be called thy son.
Pu umwana ula akhambula akhata, 'dada nelimalunde gakho, usikhile khukyanya na pasi apa na khuvulongolo khumiho gakho savinogile ukhwilangiwa ukhuta neli mwana wako.'
22 And the father said to his servants: Bring forth quickly the first robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
Pu udada akhavavula avavombi va mwene, mulote umwenda unonu mufwali nche, pete nu khufwa lincha ifilato mumalende.
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
Pu mukhatole isenga iyi dutwive mubude tulye nu khuhekhela.
24 Because this my son was dead, and is come to life again: was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Ulwakhuva umwana vango afyulelino mwuoni. Ayagile lino avonikhe pu vakhatengula ukhuhekhela.
25 Now his elder son was in the field, and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing:
Pu lino umwanaumbaha ale khukyalo, vu ikhwincha nu khuhegelela khukyaya akhapulikha inyimbo nu khwovela nu khukhina.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
Akhilanga uveimbombo yumo akhambuncha, khulikhikhi khukhuta khikhi?
27 And he said to him: Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe.
Umbomba mbombo akhata uvuvavo iuchile nu dada vakho abudile isenga iyidutwive ulwakhuva avuyile vunonu.'
28 And he was angry, and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat him.
Umwana umbaha avipile ukhulutilila, akhabela nu khwingila mnyumba gati nu dada akhabembelesya ingile.
29 And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee, and I have never transgressed thy commandment, and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends:
Pu akhambula udadaye, 'Lola une, nekhuvombili imiakha gimingi, nu khwibata indagilo nchoni sugele ukhuma mwenamene, ukhuta ne hekhele na vayango.
30 But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
Ulwakhuva, vuinchile umwana vakho uve avangile ikhyama kyakho kyoni nu khulya ne valiguubudile igwada iyedutwive.
31 But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me, and all I have is thine.
Udada akhambula akhata, 'Mwana vango, uve ukhale nune isikhu nchoni, nune vyoni ifi nelinafyo vyakho.
32 But it was fit that we should make merry and be glad, for this thy brother was dead and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found.
Pu yikhale lunonu khulyufwe ukhuhekhela nu khuhovokha, vu ulukhololwu avonikhe vu akhayagile, akhafyule lino alikhuwumi; na avonikhe.”
