Luke 15
1 Then drew near to him all the tax collectors and sinners to hear him.
Loino boonse basimutelo abamwi basizibi bakalikuza kuzoswiilizya Jesu.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
Bloonse baFalisi abalembi bakatongooka chabo chabo, kabaamba kuti, “Ooyu mwaalumi ulatambula basizibi, alimwi ulalya ambabo.”
3 And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
Jesu wakabaambila chikozyanisyo eechi, wakati,
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he loseth one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth 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 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Mpawo nayijana uyooyipika aamakuko akubotelwa
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, 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 say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, 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 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loseth one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she findeth it?
Nakuti ngwani wachikayintu ulangodo zya siliva zilikumi, kuti kwasweeka yomwe, uunga ulaleka kumunika, kuyiila ng'anda akuyanduula loko mane akiijane?
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
Nayijana ulayita beenzinyina ambayakilene aabo kaamba kuti, 'Amuboole tubotelwe nkaambo ndayibona nsiliva yandisweekede.'
10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Nikuba boobo ndikumwaambila kuti kuli kukondwa kunembo lyabangelo ba Leza aatala asizibi omwe uusanduka.”
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Mpawo Jesu wakati, “Kwakali mwaalumi wakali aabana balombe babili,
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided to them his living.
aawo mwana muniini wakati kuli wisi, “Ndeende, ndipe buvubi mumweelwe uulangene aandime.” Mpawo wakaaba buvubi aakati kabo.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
Kakutanayiknda mazuba miingi, mwana muniini wakabungania buvubi bwakwe wiinka aabo kunyika iilikule ooko wakakunyonyoona buvubi bwakwe mukupana bunjaka.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
Lino nakamaninsya zyoonse kwakaba nzala mpati munyika yoonse, mpawo wakatalika kubula.
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Wakayinka kuyolipeda kubelekela umwi wabantu bamuchisi eecho, wakakumutuma kusanina ngulube mumuunda wakwe.
16 And he was longing to fill his belly with the husks that the swine ate: and no man gave to him.
Wakalikunoonga wajana kukondwa naalya tukuli twakali kuligwa ngulube nkaambo taakwe wakalikumupa chakulya.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing 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 arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
Ndilanyampuka aano ndiye kuli ndeende ndikatedi, “Ndeende ndakabisizya julu anduwe.
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
Nsichikwe bulemu bwakwiitwa kuti mndimwana wako; ndichite kuti ndibe uumwi wanbabelesi bako.'”
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and 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 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy 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 forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
Wisi wakati kubabelesi bakwe, 'Mufwambaamne mwee te jansi bbotu kwiindilila, mumusasike, alimwi mubikke nweenwe kukuboko kwakwe, ansangu kumawulu aakwe.
23 And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
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. And they began to be merry.
Nkaambo mwana wangu wakalisweekede, lino waboneka.' Mpawo bakatalika kubotelwa
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Lino mwana wakwe mupati wakachili kumuunda. Aawo naakaboola akusika afwiifwi amuunzi, wakamvwa miimbo akuzyana.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
Wakayita umwi mubelesi wabuzya kuti zyaambanzi eezi.
27 And he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
Mubelesi wakamwaambila kuti, 'Mwanike wako waboola kumuunzi alimwi wuso wajaya mwana wang'ombe uuneneede nkaambo waboola kali muumi.'
28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore his father came out, and entreated him.
Mwana mupati wakanyema alimwi taakanjila pe mukati, wisi wakazwa aanze, kuzo mukombelezya.
29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither have I at any time transgressed thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry 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 as soon as this thy son had come, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
Pesi mbaboola, ooyo wakakulya lubono lwako abasi bwaamu, wamujiila mwana wangombe uneneede.'
31 And he said to him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
Wisi wakamusandula kuti, “Mwanaangu ukkede koli aandime chiindi choonse, alimwi choonse changu nchichako.
32 It was right that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
Pesi chali chibotu kuti tubotelwe nkaambo mwanike wako ooyu wakalifwide; lino wapona; wakali sweekede alimwi waboneka.'”
