Luke 15
1 And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming nigh to him, to hear him,
Pu avasonga songo voni na vange avatula nogwa valutile khwa Yisu nu khupulihincha.
2 and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying — This one doth receive sinners, and doth eat with them.'
Pu Avikhwandikha vavipile nukhunchova, “Umunu uyu ikhuvahegelencha avanyasambi nu khulya paniniye na vene.”
3 And he spake unto them this simile, saying,
Puu uYisu akhanchova ikhihwani khuvene akhanchova akhata
4 'What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one out of them, doth not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go on after the lost one, till he may 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 having found, he doth lay [it] on his shoulders rejoicing,
Nu mwene wayiwene pu ikhumibikha palivega nu khuhovokha.
6 and having come to the house, he doth call together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep — the lost one.
Nifikha khunjengo, ikhuvilanga avanine na avabadihine akhavavula akhata muhovokhage paniniye nune, ukhuva niyiwene ing'osi yango iyi khayagile.
7 'I say to you, that so joy shall be in the heaven over one sinner reforming, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men, who have no need of reformation.
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 drachms, if she may lose one drachm, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully till that she may find?
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 having found, she doth call together the female friends and the neighbours, saying, Rejoice with me, for I found the drachm that I 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, joy doth come before the messengers of God over one sinner reforming.'
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 the father, Father, give me the portion of the substance falling to [me], and he divided to them the living.
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, having gathered all together, the younger son went abroad to a far country, and there he scattered 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 he having spent all, there came a mighty famine on that country, and himself began to be in want;
Umwene vualile ikyuma kyooni, inchala imbaha yikhingila ikhilunga khila pu akhava ne njela imbaha.
15 and having gone on, he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him to the fields to feed swine,
Akhaluta khulonda imbombo khu munu uva khilunga khila, nu mwene akhang'ilikha khukyalo khya mwene ukhudima ingube.
16 and he was desirous to fill his belly from the husks that the swine were eating, and no one was giving to him.
Pu alikhunogwa ukhulya nu khwiguta na makhandi aganchisinche ingube, ulwakhuva, asikhuli umunu uvi apile ikyakhulya.
17 'And having come to himself, he said, How many hirelings of my father have a superabundance of bread, and I here with hunger am perishing!
Pu umwana udebe akhasaga munumbula ya mwene, akhanchova va vombi, akhanchova vavombi valingi khwa dada vilya nu khunywa ifingi nune nifwa ne nchala!
18 having risen, I will go on unto my father, and will say to him, Father, I did sin — to the heaven, and before thee,
Nune nihega nilutakhwa dada vango, nukhumbula, “Dada usyikhile khukyanya na pa khilunga na khumiho gakho.
19 and no more am I worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hirelings.
Sanenogile ukhuta neve mwana vakho; umbikhe ndumbomba mbombo vakho.”
20 'And having risen, he went unto his own father, and he being yet far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having ran he 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 did sin — to the heaven, and before thee, and no more am I 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 unto his servants, Bring forth the first robe, and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and sandals for the feet;
Pu udada akhavavula avavombi va mwene, mulote umwenda unonu mufwali nche, pete nu khufwa lincha ifilato mumalende.
23 and having brought the fatted calf, kill [it], and having eaten, we may be merry,
Pu mukhatole isenga iyi dutwive mubude tulye nu khuhekhela.
24 because this my son was dead, and did live again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.
Ulwakhuva umwana vango afyulelino mwuoni. Ayagile lino avonikhe pu vakhatengula ukhuhekhela.
25 'And his elder son was in a field, and as, coming, he 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 having called near one of the young men, he was inquiring what these things might be,
Akhilanga uveimbombo yumo akhambuncha, khulikhikhi khukhuta khikhi?
27 and he said to him — Thy brother is arrived, and thy father did kill the fatted calf, because in health he did receive him back.
Umbomba mbombo akhata uvuvavo iuchile nu dada vakho abudile isenga iyidutwive ulwakhuva avuyile vunonu.'
28 'And he was angry, and would not go in, therefore his father, having come forth, was entreating him;
Umwana umbaha avipile ukhulutilila, akhabela nu khwingila mnyumba gati nu dada akhabembelesya ingile.
29 and he answering said to the father, Lo, so many years I do serve thee, and never thy command did I transgress, and to me thou didst never give a kid, that with my friends I might make merry;
Pu akhambula udadaye, 'Lola une, nekhuvombili imiakha gimingi, nu khwibata indagilo nchoni sugele ukhuma mwenamene, ukhuta ne hekhele na vayango.
30 but when thy son — this one who did devour thy living with harlots — came, thou didst kill to him the fatted calf.
Ulwakhuva, vuinchile umwana vakho uve avangile ikhyama kyakho kyoni nu khulya ne valiguubudile igwada iyedutwive.
31 'And he said to him, Child, thou art always with me, and all my things are thine;
Udada akhambula akhata, 'Mwana vango, uve ukhale nune isikhu nchoni, nune vyoni ifi nelinafyo vyakho.
32 but to be merry, and to be glad, it was needful, because this thy brother was dead, and did live again, he was lost, and was found.'
Pu yikhale lunonu khulyufwe ukhuhekhela nu khuhovokha, vu ulukhololwu avonikhe vu akhayagile, akhafyule lino alikhuwumi; na avonikhe.”
