Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to Jesus to listen to him.
Basi asonjezya abhesonga bhonti na bhala abhibhi bhali bhahukaribira bhamwovwe.
2 But the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”
Afalisayo na simbi bhauna bhayanga, “Omuntu ono abhakaribizya abhe mbibhi nantele alya nabho.”
3 So Jesus told them this parable:
Wabhabhola omfano ogu wayanga
4 “What man among you, who has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the other ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it?
“Wenu hwilimwe yali nengole mia nkatejire emo yasagazileha zira tisini na tisa mwipoli, abhale ayanze ele yetejile hata eyilore?
5 And when he finds it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Wape nkashile walola ahubheha mmapongo gakwe ashimile.
6 Then he returns home and calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.’
Nafiha akhaya yakwe, abhakwizya arafiki bhakwe na jirani bhakwe abhabhore shimaji pandwemo nane, afwanaje enjajile engore yane yehatejire.'
7 I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.
embabhola shesho hwanyibha ashime amwanya kwajili ya bhibhi omo yaramba ashile abhinza tisini na tisa ambao sebhalamba
8 “Or what woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
Nu hulino she wele yali nesilinje kumi nkawatezya esilinje emo, sahwasya okhozyo n ahwose mnyumba na hwanze hubidii hata ayilole?
9 And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’
Na nkashile ayilole abhakwizya arafiki bhakwa na jirani bhakwe abhabhola shimaji pandwemo nane afwanaje enjajile esilinje ela yehatejire.
10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Embabhola shesho hulisongwe hwitagalila elya kuwa abha Ngolobhe kwajiri yola obhibhi omo yaramba.”
11 Then he said, “There was a man who had two sons.
Wayanga, “Omntu omo alinabhana bhabhele
12 The younger of the two said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that will belong to me.’ So his father divided his assets between the two sons.
ola ododo wabhola oyise, Baba mpele eshemu eye shoma yegwela. Wabhagabhila evintu vyakwe.
13 A few days later, the younger son gathered together all that he had and went on a journey to a distant country, and there he squandered his property by living recklessly.
Hata pitagalila ensiku senyinji ola ododo wabhonganya vyonti wasogora abhale ensi eya ohutari wanankanya eshoma shakwe ohwo humaisha ege uhuni.
14 When he had spent all that he had, a severe famine arose throughout that country, and he began to be in need.
Nawabha anankenye eshoma shonti enzala egosi ehinjiye mnsi ela omwahale wape wanda ahwanze.
15 So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
Wabhala wakhata nokhaya omo owensi ela, wape atwaliile hugonda gwakwe arere engorobhe.
16 He longed to fill his belly with the carob pods the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
Wabha atamari alya amakhondo gazyalyanga egorobhe wala nomo omntu yapanga ahantu.
17 When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired workers have an abundance of bread, while I perish with hunger!
Nawasebhelela humwoyo gwakwe ayanjila bhali bhalenga abhomba mbomba hwa babawane bhabhalya eshalye nasagazye nane epa efwa nenzala!
18 I will arise, go to my father, and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before yoʋ.
Embasogole embabhale hwa baba wane na hubhole, “Baba enkosile juu eye mwanya na hwitagalila lyaho.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called yoʋr son; make me like one of yoʋr hired workers.”’
Sehwanziwa akwiziwe mwana waho nantele; mbombo neshe abhombambo bhabho.”
20 So he arose and went to his father. But while he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with compassion. So he ran to his son, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him.
Wasogola wabhala hwa yise. Nalisa hutali oyise wakwe alolile walolela husajire wabhala sashembela wagwele msingo wayayila tee.
21 Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before yoʋ. I am no longer worthy to be called yoʋr son.’
Ola omwana wabhola, 'oyise enkosile juu yemwanya na hwitalila lyaho sehwanziwa akwiziwa mwana waho nantele.'
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.
Lelo oyise abhabholele abhombambombo bhakwe, 'leti nanali omwenda gawguli gwinza, mkwenesye peli nepete mshidole na virato.
23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us eat and celebrate.
Reti endama ela yenonile msizile nate tilye nashime.
24 For this son of mine was dead but is now alive again; he was lost but has now been found.’ And they began to celebrate.
Afwanaje ono omwana wane ali afwiye wape azyoshele. Ali atejira wape abhoneshe bhanda ashanjilile.
25 “Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Basi ola omwana wakwe ogosi ali hugonda. Nali ahwenza napalamile pakhaga ahovwezye amazu ege ngoma na shawa hwanga.
26 So he called one of the servants over and asked him what was happening.
Wakwizya obhomba mbombo omo wabhozya amambo ego geyenu?
27 The servant said to him, ‘Yoʋr brother has come, and yoʋr father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’
Wabhola oholo waho ayenzele no yise waho asinziye endama yenonile apwanje amwajile nantele ali mwomi.'
28 But the older son was angry and would not go in. So his father came out and began pleading with him.
Wavitwa wakhana ahwinjile mhati basi oyise wafumire hwonze walabha.
29 But he answered his father, ‘Behold, all these years I have served yoʋ and have never disobeyed yoʋr command, yet yoʋ have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends.
Wagalula oyise wakwe wayanga, 'Enya ane ebhombeye amaha galenga ega wala senkosile endajizyo zyaho wakati wawonti, lelo sompiye ane enya na ye mbuzi embombe ashime na rafiki bhane.
30 But when this son of yoʋrs came, who has devoured yoʋr assets with prostitutes, yoʋ killed the fattened calf for him.’
Lelo nawenza ono omwana waho yaliye vintu vyaho pandwemo na malaya asinziye omwahale endama yenonile.
31 The father said to him, ‘Son, yoʋ are always with me, and everything I have is yoʋrs.
Wabhola, 'Mwana wane, awe olipandwemo nane ensiku zyonti vyendi navyo vya huliwe.
32 But it was proper to celebrate and rejoice, for yoʋr brother was dead but is now alive again; he was lost but has now been found.’”
Antele abhombe ashima ne shangwe ehali yelazima afwanaje; ali atejile wape abhoneshe.”
