1 Basi bhatoza ushuru bhoha ni bhangi bhenye dhambi bhahidili kwa Yesu ni kump'elekesya.
Kwasekusondela kuye bonke abathelisi lezoni, ukumuzwa.
2 Mafarisayo ni bhaandishi bhanung'uniki bhakajobha, “Munu ojho akabhakaribisya bhenye dhambi na ilya nabhu.”
AbaFarisi lababhali basebesola besithi: Lo wemukela izoni, adle lazo.
3 Yesu akajobha mfano obho kwa bhene, akajobha
Wasebatshela lumfanekiso, esithi:
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?
Nguwuphi umuntu kini ongathi elezimvu ezilikhulu, abeselahlekelwa ngenye yazo, ongazitshiyi ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye egangeni, alandele elahlekileyo, aze ayithole?
5 Ni mwene akamalayi kun'kabha akambeka mumabega pa muene ni kufurahela.
Njalo athi eseyitholile ayetshate ethokoza.
6 Bhoafikili mu nyumba, akabhakuta marafiki zake ni majirani bha muene akabhajobhela muhobhokayi pamonga ni nene, kwa kujha nikabhili kondoo jha akajhag'heli.'
Esefikile ekhaya, abizele ndawonye abangane labomakhelwane, esithi kubo: Thokozani lami, ngoba ngithole imvu yami ebilahlekile.
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.
Ngithi kini: Ngokunjalo kuzakuba khona intokozo ezulwini ngesoni esisodwa esiphendukayo, kulabalungileyo abangamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye, abangasweli ukuphenduka.
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?
Loba nguwuphi umfazi othi elenhlamvu zesiliva ezilitshumi, uba elahlekelwa luhlamvu olulodwa lwesiliva, angalumathisi isibane, athanyele indlu, adingisise aze aluthole?
9 Na akamalayi kujhibhona akabhakuta marafiki zake ni majirani zake kubhajobhela muhobhokayi pamonga ni nene, kwa kujha nijhikabhili kabhele sarafu jha nijhasili.
Njalo nxa eselutholile ubizela ndawonye abangane labomakhelwane, athi: Thokozani lami, ngoba sengilutholile uhlamvu lwesiliva ebengilahlekelwe yilo.
10 Hata hivyo nikabhajobhela kujhe ni furaha palongolo pa malaika bha K'yara kwa ndabha jha mwenye dhambi mmonga jha ibeta kutubu.
Ngokunjalo, ngithi kini, ikhona intokozo phambi kwezingilosi zikaNkulunkulu ngesoni esisodwa esiphendukayo.
11 Ni Yesu akajobha, “Munu mmonga ajhe ni bhana bhabhele
Wasesithi: Umuntu othile wayelamadodana amabili;
12 y'ola n'debe akan'jobhela dadimunu, Dadi nipelayi sehemu jha mali jhanistahili kujhirithi. Hivyo agawenye mali sya muene kati jha bhene.
encinyane yawo yasisithi kuyise: Baba, nginika isabelo sempahla esiqondene lami. Wasewehlukanisela impahla.
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.
Njalo kungelansuku ezinengi emva kwalokhu indodana encinyane yabutha konke yasuka yahamba yaya elizweni elikhatshana, njalo lapho yachitha khona impahla yayo, iphila okobuhlanya.
14 Ni muene bho atumili fyoha njala mbaha jhajhingili mu nchi jhela ni muene akajhanda kujha mu uhitaji.
Yathi isichithile konke, kwavela indlala enkulu kulelolizwe, yona yasiqala ukuswela.
15 Akalota ni kujiajiri muene kwa mmonga ghwa raia bhwa nchi jhela, ni muene akampeleke kun'gonda kulisya maghorobhi.
Yasisuka yazihlanganisa lesinye sezakhamizi zalelolizwe; njalo sayithuma emasimini aso ukuze yeluse izingulube.
16 Na akajha inoghela kwishibisya kwa, maganda ghaghalijheghe maghorobhi kwandabha ajhelepi munu jha ampelili khenu kyokyoha khela abhwesya kulya.
Yasifisa ukugcwalisa isisu sayo ngamakhasi ingulube eziwadlayo; njalo kwakungelamuntu oyinika ulutho.
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!
Kwathi ingqondo yayo isibuyile yathi: Zingaki izisebenzi zikababa eziqhatshiweyo ezilezinkwa ezinengi kakhulu, kanti mina ngiyafa yindlala;
18 Nibhoka ni kulota kwa dadijhangu, ni kun'jobhela, “Dadi nikukosili juu jha mbingu ni palongolo pa mihu jhobhi.
ngizasukuma ngiye kubaba, ngithi kuye: Baba, ngonile ezulwini, laphambi kwakho;
19 Nikastahili lepi kukutibhwa mwanabhu kabhele; nifwanyajhi kama mmonga ghwa bhatumishi bha jhobhi.”
njalo kangisafanelanga ukubizwa ngithiwe ngiyindodana yakho; ngenza ngibe njengomunye wezisebenzi zakho eziqhatshiweyo.
20 Ndipo akabhoka akalota kwa dadi munu. Bho ajhe patali dadi munu ambwene akambonela huruma akalota mbio ni kun'kumbatila ni kumbusu.
Yasisukuma yaya kuyise. Kodwa kuthe isesekhatshana, uyise wayibona, waba lesihelo, wagijima wawela entanyeni yayo, wayanga.
21 Mwana jhola akan'jobhela, “dadi nikosili juu jha mbingu ni palongolo pa mihu gha bhebhe nikastahili lepi kukutibhwa mwanabhu.'
Indodana yasisithi kuye: Baba, ngonile ezulwini laphambi kwakho, futhi kangisafanelanga ukubizwa ngokuthi ngiyindodana yakho.
22 Dadi munu jhola abhajobhili bhatumishi bha muene, muliletayi livazi lyalijhele linofu, mukamfwekayi mufwatikayi ni pete mu kikonji ni filatu mu magolo.
Kodwa uyise wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Khuphani lilethe isembatho esihle kakhulu liyigqokise, lifake indandatho esandleni sayo, lamanyathela enyaweni zayo;
23 Kisha mundetayi jhola jhaanenipi mukan'chinjayi tulieyi ni kuhobhoka.
lilethe ithole elinonisiweyo lilihlabe, njalo sidle sithokoze;
24 Kwa kujha mwanabhangu afuili ni muene ajhe hai. Ajhele ajhaghili ni muene abhonekene bhakajhanda kushangilila.
ngoba indodana yami le ibifile, isibuye yaphila; ibilahlekile, itholiwe; basebeqala ukuthokoza.
25 Basi jhola mwanamunu mbaha ajhele kun'gonda. Bho ihida ni kukaribila pa nyumba ap'eliki ny'embu ni michezo.
Kodwa indodana yakhe endala yayisensimini; yathi isiza isondela endlini, yezwa ukuhlabelela lokusina.
26 Akan'kuta mtumishi mmonga ni kun'kota mambo agha maana yake kiki?
Yasibizela kuyo omunye wezinceku, yabuza ukuthi zitshoni lezizinto.
27 Mtumishi akan'jobhela mbenabhu ahidili ni dadi waku an'chinjili litoli jha anonili kwandabha akerebhuiki kinofu.'
Yasisithi kuyo: Umfowenu ufikile; loyihlo uhlabile ithole elinonisiweyo, ngoba ememukele ephila.
28 Mwana mbaha akadada akabela kujhingila mgati ni dadimunu akahoma kwibhala kumsihi. Ila akan'jibu dadimunu akajobha, 'Langayi
Kodwa yathukuthela, ayizange ifune ukungena; ngakho uyise waphuma wayincenga.
29 nene nikutumikili kwa miaka ghimehele, wala nikosilepi amri jha jhobhi, unipelili lepi mwana mene, ili nisherehekelayi ni marafiki zangu.
Kodwa yaphendula yathi kuyise: Khangela, iminyaka engaka ngikusebenzela, kangizange ngeqe umlayo wakho, kodwa kawuzange unginike lazinyane lembuzi, ukuze ngijabule kanye labangane bami.
30 Lakini bho ahidili ojho mwanabhu jhaa tapenye mali gha jhobhi ghoha pamonga ni makahaba un'chinjili litoli lya linenepi.
Kodwa kuthe isifikile lindodana yakho eyachitha impahla yakho lezifebe, wayihlabela ithole elinonisiweyo.
31 Dadimunu akan'jobhela, 'Mwanabhangu, bhebhe ujhele pamonga ni nene magono ghoha ni fyoha fyanijhe nafu ndo fyajhobhi.
Wasesithi kuyo: Ndodana, wena uhlezi ulami, futhi konke okungokwami kungokwakho.
32 Ila jhajhele kinofu kwa tete kubhomba sherehe ni kubhoka, ndongobhu ojho afuili, ni henu muomi; ajhele ajhele ajhaghili ni muene abhonekene.”
Kodwa bekufanele ukujabula lokuthokoza; ngoba umfowenu lo owayefile, usebuye waphila; wayelahlekile, utholiwe.
