Luka 15
1 Basi bhatoza ushuru bhoha ni bhangi bhenye dhambi bhahidili kwa Yesu ni kump'elekesya.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were approaching him to hear him.
2 Mafarisayo ni bhaandishi bhanung'uniki bhakajobha, “Munu ojho akabhakaribisya bhenye dhambi na ilya nabhu.”
And the Pharisees and the scholars murmured, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them.
3 Yesu akajobha mfano obho kwa bhene, akajobha
And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
4 “Niani kwa muenga, kama ajhe ni kondoo mia moja ni akajhaghayi mmonga bhabhi akabhaleka bhala tisini na tisa mu nyika, ni kulota kulonda jhola jha ajhaghili hadi ambonayi?
What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go for that which was lost until he finds it?
5 Ni mwene akamalayi kun'kabha akambeka mumabega pa muene ni kufurahela.
And when he finds it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 Bhoafikili mu nyumba, akabhakuta marafiki zake ni majirani bha muene akabhajobhela muhobhokayi pamonga ni nene, kwa kujha nikabhili kondoo jha akajhag'heli.'
And when he comes to the house, he calls together his men friends and his men neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.
7 Nikabhajobhela mebhu kubetakujha ni furaha kumbinguni kwandabha jhe mwenye dhambi mmonga jhaitubu, zaidi jha bhenye haki tisini na tisa ambabho bhajhelepi ni hajha jha kutubu.
I say to you, that thus there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of repentance.
8 Aajhe n'dala gani mwenye sarafu kumi sya hela, akajha ghibhwayi ni sarafu jhimonga, ibetakubhwasya lepi taa ni kufyaghila nyumba ni kulonda kwa bidii hadi paibetakujhikabha?
Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she finds it?
9 Na akamalayi kujhibhona akabhakuta marafiki zake ni majirani zake kubhajobhela muhobhokayi pamonga ni nene, kwa kujha nijhikabhili kabhele sarafu jha nijhasili.
And when she has found it, she calls together her lady friends and lady neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, because I found the drachma that I lost.
10 Hata hivyo nikabhajobhela kujhe ni furaha palongolo pa malaika bha K'yara kwa ndabha jha mwenye dhambi mmonga jha ibeta kutubu.
Thus I say to you, there becomes joy in the presence of the agents of God over one sinner who repents.
11 Ni Yesu akajobha, “Munu mmonga ajhe ni bhana bhabhele
And he said, A certain man had two sons,
12 y'ola n'debe akan'jobhela dadimunu, Dadi nipelayi sehemu jha mali jhanistahili kujhirithi. Hivyo agawenye mali sya muene kati jha bhene.
and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his living.
13 Magono mingilepi n'debe jhola akabhonganiya fyohe fyeimiliki akalota nchi jha patali, ni okhu akatapanya mali ni hela sya muene, kwa kuhemela fenu fyefilondekeghe lepi, ni kutabhwanya hela sya muene kwa anasa.
And not many days after, the younger son, having gathered all together, journeyed into a distant country, and there he squandered his wealth living recklessly.
14 Ni muene bho atumili fyoha njala mbaha jhajhingili mu nchi jhela ni muene akajhanda kujha mu uhitaji.
And when he spent all, a mighty famine developed in that country, and he began to be in want.
15 Akalota ni kujiajiri muene kwa mmonga ghwa raia bhwa nchi jhela, ni muene akampeleke kun'gonda kulisya maghorobhi.
And having gone, he was joined to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 Na akajha inoghela kwishibisya kwa, maganda ghaghalijheghe maghorobhi kwandabha ajhelepi munu jha ampelili khenu kyokyoha khela abhwesya kulya.
And he longed to fill his belly from the husks that the swine ate, and no man gave to him.
17 Ila jhola muana n'debe bho azingatili mu muoyo bhwa muene, ajobhili 'Ni bhatumishi bhalenga bha dadijhangu bhajhe ni kyakulya kingi kya kutosha ni nene nijhe apa nifwa ni njala!
But when he came to himself, he said, How many hired men of my father's have abundance of loaves, but I am perishing with hunger.
18 Nibhoka ni kulota kwa dadijhangu, ni kun'jobhela, “Dadi nikukosili juu jha mbingu ni palongolo pa mihu jhobhi.
After rising, I will go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight.
19 Nikastahili lepi kukutibhwa mwanabhu kabhele; nifwanyajhi kama mmonga ghwa bhatumishi bha jhobhi.”
I am no more worthy to be called thy son. Make me as one of thy hired men.
20 Ndipo akabhoka akalota kwa dadi munu. Bho ajhe patali dadi munu ambwene akambonela huruma akalota mbio ni kun'kumbatila ni kumbusu.
And having risen, he went to his father. But while he was still distant, afar off, his father saw him and felt compassion. And having ran, he fell on his neck, and kissed him much.
21 Mwana jhola akan'jobhela, “dadi nikosili juu jha mbingu ni palongolo pa mihu gha bhebhe nikastahili lepi kukutibhwa mwanabhu.'
And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight. I am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 Dadi munu jhola abhajobhili bhatumishi bha muene, muliletayi livazi lyalijhele linofu, mukamfwekayi mufwatikayi ni pete mu kikonji ni filatu mu magolo.
But the father said to his bondmen, Bring forth the best robe and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and shoes for his feet.
23 Kisha mundetayi jhola jhaanenipi mukan'chinjayi tulieyi ni kuhobhoka.
And having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we will be cheerful,
24 Kwa kujha mwanabhangu afuili ni muene ajhe hai. Ajhele ajhaghili ni muene abhonekene bhakajhanda kushangilila.
because this my son was dead, and became alive again. And he was lost, and is found. And they began to be cheerful.
25 Basi jhola mwanamunu mbaha ajhele kun'gonda. Bho ihida ni kukaribila pa nyumba ap'eliki ny'embu ni michezo.
But his elder son was in a field. And while coming, having approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Akan'kuta mtumishi mmonga ni kun'kota mambo agha maana yake kiki?
And having summoned one of the boys, he inquired what these things might be.
27 Mtumishi akan'jobhela mbenabhu ahidili ni dadi waku an'chinjili litoli jha anonili kwandabha akerebhuiki kinofu.'
And he said to him, Thy brother arrived, and thy father has killed the fatted calf, because he received him back healthy.
28 Mwana mbaha akadada akabela kujhingila mgati ni dadimunu akahoma kwibhala kumsihi. Ila akan'jibu dadimunu akajobha, 'Langayi
But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore, his father having come out, he called him.
29 nene nikutumikili kwa miaka ghimehele, wala nikosilepi amri jha jhobhi, unipelili lepi mwana mene, ili nisherehekelayi ni marafiki zangu.
But having answered, he said to his father, Lo, so many years do I serve thee, and I never passed by a commandment of thine, and yet thou never gave me a goat that I might be merry with my friends.
30 Lakini bho ahidili ojho mwanabhu jhaa tapenye mali gha jhobhi ghoha pamonga ni makahaba un'chinjili litoli lya linenepi.
But when this thy son came, who has devoured thy living with harlots, thou killed for him the fatted calf.
31 Dadimunu akan'jobhela, 'Mwanabhangu, bhebhe ujhele pamonga ni nene magono ghoha ni fyoha fyanijhe nafu ndo fyajhobhi.
And he said to him, Child, thou are always with me, and all my things are yours.
32 Ila jhajhele kinofu kwa tete kubhomba sherehe ni kubhoka, ndongobhu ojho afuili, ni henu muomi; ajhele ajhele ajhaghili ni muene abhonekene.”
But it was needful to make merry and be glad, because this thy brother was dead, and became alive again, and was lost, and was found.
