Luke 15
1 The tax-gatherers and the outcasts were all drawing near to Jesus to listen to him;
Bai batoza ushuru boti ni benge bene sambi baichile kwa Yesu ni kumpekania.
2 but the Pharisees and the Teachers of the Law found fault. “This man always welcomes outcasts, and takes meals with them!” they complained.
Mafarisayo ni baandishi batinung'unika kababaya, mundu yoo hubakaribisha bene sambi ni lya nabo.”
3 So Jesus told them this parable —
Yesu kabaya mfano wono kwabe, kabaya,
4 “What man among you who has a hundred sheep, and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine out in the open country, and go after the lost sheep till he finds it?
“Nyai kwinu, kati abi ni ngondolo mia jimo ni mei teo anobite yumo kati yabo, apala kuwaleka balo tisini na tisa mupongote, ni ayende kumpala yolo ywanobite mpaka kumbona?
5 And, when he has found it, he puts in on his shoulders rejoicing;
Ni ywewmbe maite mpatike umbeka mulipamba lyake ni pulaika.
6 and, on reaching home, he calls his friends and his neighbours together, and says ‘Come and rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.’
Paika kunyumba, ubakema mbwiga kwa yango ni jirani yake nakuwabakiya mupurahi pamope ni nee, kwa kuwa nimpatike ngondolo ywango ywaobite.'
7 So, I tell you, there will be more rejoicing in Heaven over one outcast that repents, than over ninety-nine religious men, who have no need to repent.
Nindakuwabakia nyonyonyo kupabaa ni puraha kumaunde kwaajili ya mwene sambi yumo yatubu, zaidi ya bene haki tisini na tisa babile ntopo hoha ya tubu.
8 Or again, what woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
Au kuna nnwawa gani ywabile ni sarafu komi za mbanje, payaobite ni sarafu jimo, hapa washa taa ni pyaya nyumba ni kuipala kwa bidii hadi kuipata?
9 And, when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbours together, and says ‘Come and rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost.’
Ni paibona hubakema mbwiga kwaa yake majirani bake kuwabakia mpurahi pamope ni nee, kwa kuwa niipatike sarafu yango yaniobite.
10 So, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of God’s angels over one outcast that repents.”
Hata nyoo nindakuwabakiya ibile puraha nnonge ya malaika wa Nnongo kwaajili ya mwene sambi yumo tubu.”
11 Then Jesus continued: “A man had two sons;
Ni Yesu atibaya, “mundu yumo abile ni bana abele
12 and the younger of them said to his father ‘Father, give me my share of the inheritance.’ So the father divided the property between them.
Yolo nchunu atikum'bakiya tate bake, tate unipei sehemu ya mali yango yoti kuirithi. Nga atibagana mali yake kati yabo.
13 A few days later the younger son got together all that he had, and went away into a distant land; and there he squandered his inheritance by leading a dissolute life.
Machoba ganambone kwaa yolo nchunu atokusanya vyoti anavyomiliki naboka kilambo cha mbale, na kwoo atitapanya mbanje yake, kwa pema ilebe yaipalite kwaa, na tapanya mbanje yake kwa anasa,
14 After he has spent all that he had, there was a severe famine through all that country, and he began to be in actual want.
Naye pabweni ayomwile tumiya yoti njala kolo itiyingya pakilambo chelo nayembe atumbwile panga abi na uhitaji.
15 So he went and engaged himself to one of the people of that country, who sent him into his fields to tend pigs.
Atiyenda ni kuajiri mwene kwa yumo wa raia wa kilambo chelo, ni yembe atikumpeleka kumng'unda wake lisha magobe.
16 He even longed to satisfy his hunger with the bean-pods on which the pigs were feeding; and no one gave him anything.
Ni atitamani kuishibisha kwa maakapi yabalile kwa sababu ntopo mundu ywampei kilebe chochoti cha lya.
17 But, when he came to himself, he said ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more bread than they can eat, while here am I starving to death!
Ila yolo mwana nchunu patambwile mwoyoni mwake, abaite ni atumishi alenga wa tate bango bana chakulya chanambone cha tosha ni nenga nibile pano, ni waa na njala!
18 I will get up and go to my father, and say to him “Father, I sinned against Heaven and against you;
Nipala boka ni yenda kwa tate bango, ni umbakiya, “Tate nikosite kunani ya maunde ni nnongi ya minyo gako.
19 I am no longer fit to be called your son; make me one of your hired servants.”’
Nistahilli kwaa kemelwa mwana wako kae, unipange kati yumo wa atumwa bako.”
20 And he got up and went to his father. But, while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was deeply moved; he ran and threw his arms round his neck and kissed him.
Ndipo atiboka ni yenda kwa tate bake, pabile angaliu palipite napatate bake amweni akiya ayei lubela ni kumkumbatiya ni kumnoniya. Yolo mwana atikum'bakiya,
21 ‘Father,’ the son said, ‘I sinned against Heaven and against you; I am no longer fit to be called your son; make me one of your hired servants.’
“Tate nikosite kunani ya maunde ni nnonge ya minyo gako nistaili kwaa kemelwa mwana wako.'
22 But the father turned to his servants and said ‘Be quick and fetch a robe — the very best — and put it on him; give him a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet;
Yolo tate atikuwabakiya atumishi bake,'mulileti upesi nganju ya ibile bora, mukamuwalike mujei ni pete mu'ingonji ni ilatu mumagolo.
23 and bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry;
Boka po munileti ndama yolo yanonite nakumchinja uliye ni kupurai.
24 for here is my son who was dead, and is alive again, was lost, and is found.’ So they began making merry.
Kwa kuwa mwana wango atiwaa naywembe abi hai. Ati oba nakwe atibonekana batumbwile shangilia.
25 Meanwhile the elder son was out in the fields; but, on coming home, when he got near the house, he heard music and dancing,
Bai yolo mwana wake mpendo abile kumngunda. Pabayowine ni karibia kunyumba ayowine malobe ya nyambo ni ng'anda.
26 and he called one of the servants and asked what it all meant.
Amkemite mtumishi yumo nakumlokiya makowe gano maana yake namani”
27 ‘Your brother has come back,’ the servant told him, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’
Mtumishi akam'bakiya mnunako haichile ni tate bako atikumchinjia ndama yanenipe kwasababu atibuya salama,'
28 This made him angry, and he would not go in. But his father came out and begged him to do so.
Mwana mpendo atikasirika akani jingiya nkati ni tate bake apitike panja kumpembeya.
29 ‘No,’ he said to his father, ‘look at all the years I have been serving you, without ever once disobeying you, and yet you have never given me even a kid, so that I might have a merry-making with my friends.
Ila atikuyangwa tate bake baya, “lola nenga nitikutumikiya miaka yanambone, wala nikosite kwaa amri yako, lakini unipei kwaa mwana mbui lenga niweche sherekea ni rafiki zango.
30 But, no sooner has this son of yours come, who has eaten up your property in the company of prostitutes, than you have killed the fattened calf for him.’
Lakini paichile yono mwana wako watapakinye mali yako yoti pamope ni makahaba atikunchinjia ndama yanenipe.
31 ‘Child,’ the father answered, ‘you are always with me, and everything that I have is yours.
Tate akabakiya,'mwana wango, wenga u pamope ni nenga kila machoba goti ni vyoti yanibile vyo vyako wenga.
32 We could but make merry and rejoice, for here is your brother who was dead, and is alive; who was lost, and is found.’”
Ila yapangite vyema kwitu kumpangiya sherehe ni purai, yono mbwiga wako atiwaa, nanambeambe abi nkoti, ni atioba ni ywembe apatikine.”
