Luka 15
1 Linu vatelisi vonse ni vamwi vaezalivi vavakezite kwa Jesu kukuteka kwali.
Then resorted vnto him all the Publicanes and sinners, to heare him.
2 vonse vafalisi ni vañoli vava kuñuñu, nivati, “Uzu mukwame u tambula vaezalivi, mi mane ulya navo.”
Therefore the Pharises and Scribes murmured, saying, Hee receiueth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Jesus avawambi iyi inguli kuvali, nati,
Then spake hee this parable to them, saying,
4 “Njeni kwenu, haiva wina imberere zina makumi ekumi imi yonke izova, kete usiye imberere zina makumi akwana iyanza ni makumi one kuvika zikwana iyanza ni zone mwinkanda, nikwichilila ya zova haisi hokayiwana?
What man of you hauing an hundreth sheepe, if hee lose one of them, doeth not leaue ninetie and nine in the wildernesse, and goe after that which is lost, vntill he finde it?
5 Linu cwale hayiwana, u yi kulika hamaheta ni kusanga.
And when he hath found it, he laieth it on his shoulders with ioye.
6 Hakeza kwi nzuvo, usumpa valikani ni niva vambane nivo, nati kuvali, musange nime, nakawana imberere se izovete.'
And when he commeth home, he calleth together his friendes and neighbours, saying vnto them, Reioyce with mee: for I haue founde my sheepe which was lost.
7 Niwamba kwenu nihakuva vulyo, mukuve nikusanga mwi ulu nihaiva muezalivi yenke halitekula, kuhita vantu vena makumi akwana iyanza ni one kuvika vakwana iyanza ni vone vasiyeme vasa lili kulitekula.
I say vnto you, that likewise ioy shall be in heauen for one sinner that conuerteth, more then for ninetie and nine iust men, which neede none amendment of life.
8 Kapa zuna mwanakazi yavena muwayawaya we silivela i kwana ikumi, kuti azovelwe hateni yonke, kete a munike i lambi, kufiyela inzuvo, kungana kavutali kutwala chawana muwayawaya.
Either what woman hauing ten groates, if she lose one groate, doth not light a candle, and sweepe the house, and seeke diligently till shee finde it?
9 Mi linu hauwana, u sumpa balikani ni vekala he mbali yakwe, nati, musange name, nawana muwayawaya wangu se uzovete.
And when shee hath found it, shee calleth her friendes, and neighbours, saying, Reioyce with me: for I haue found the groate which I had lost.
10 nihakuba vulyo, niwamba kwenu, kwina kusanga mukuva kwa mangeloi e Reeza muezalivi yenke ha litekula.
Likewise I say vnto you, there is ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, for one sinner that conuerteth.
11 Linu Jesu chati, mukwame zumwi avena vanaswisu vovele,
He sayde moreouer, A certaine man had two sonnes.
12 mi wachinini cha wambila isi, 'Ita, munihe chanda cha chifumu chiwila kwangu,' chava kauhanyeza zibya zakwe.
And the yonger of them sayde to his father, Father, giue mee the portion of the goods that falleth to mee. So he deuided vnto them his substance.
13 Kena kuvahiti mazuba mangi, wachinini cha kunganya zibya zakwe zonse hamwina zavayoli ni kuya kwinkanda imwi kule, mi uko avaka sinyi mashelinyi akwe, cha kaula zintu zisena itunso, avashinyi mashelenyi akwe muzintu zenkanda.
So not many daies after, when the yonger sonne had gathered all together, hee tooke his iourney into a farre countrey, and there hee wasted his goods with riotous liuing.
14 Linu hanu hashinya zintu zonse, inzala ikando ibatasezi inkanda yonse, mi chava ni ntakazo.
Nowe when hee had spent all, there arose a great dearth throughout that land, and he began to be in necessitie.
15 Cha yenda ni ku kaseveza ku zumwi yava kuhala mweyo inkanda, yava mutumi kuluwa ku kaha ziguluve zilyo.
Then hee went and claue to a citizen of that conntrey, and hee sent him to his farme, to feede swine.
16 Mi navatavi kukalya zilyo ziva kuliwa ziguluve kakuti kakwina yava kumuha zilyo.
And hee would faine haue filled his bellie with the huskes, that the swine ate: but no man gaue them him.
17 Kono mwan'a swisu wa munini ha ka volelwa ingana, cha wamba, vongayi kuvahikana vaseveza kuva ndanda vena zilyo zingi luli, mi nina kunu, nini fwa inzala!
Then he came to him selfe, and said, Howe many hired seruaunts at my fathers haue bread ynough, and I die for hunger?
18 Munizwe kunu mi ni yende kuva ndanda, mi mu ni kawambe kuvali, “Ita, ni bafosekezi iwulu, ni mu menso enu.
I wil rise and goe to my father, and say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heaue, and before thee,
19 Kaniswaneli kusumpwa kuti ni mwanenu, mu ni pange feela nibe ni muhikana wenu.
And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants.
20 Cwale mwan'a swisu wamu nini cha katuka, ni kukeza mubusu bwe isi, ha ba kusina kule, isi cha mu vona, mi chali zuwa masisi, mi cha mutilila ni ku mutula manza ni ku muchunchuna.
So hee arose and came to his father, and when hee was yet a great way off, his father sawe him, and had compassion, and ranne and fell on his necke, and kissed him.
21 mwan'a swisu chati kwali, Ita, ni vafosekezi muvuso weulu ni ha menso enu. Ka ni swaneli kuti ni sumpwe kuti ni mwana nenu.
And the sonne sayde vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen, and before thee, and am no more worthie to be called thy sonne.
22 Isi chati kuva hikana vakwe, 'Mulete kapilipili inguvo indende indotu, mu mu zwatike, mi mu mu zwatike iseka kumunwe, mu mu zwatike ni nsangu kuma tende.
Then the father said to his seruaunts, Bring foorth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feete,
23 Linu mulete inamani inunite twi ihaye. Tu lye mukiti!
And bring the fat calfe, and kill him, and let vs eate, and be merie:
24 Kakuti mwanangu wa mususwi ava fwile. mi hanu u hala, ava zovete, hanu cha wanika. mi chi va sangwa.
For this my sonne was dead, and is aliue againe: and he was lost, but he is found. And they began to be merie.
25 Linu mwana swisu wa mu kulwana avena kuluwa, ha sika hafuhi ni munzi, ava zuwi inzimbo nikuzana,
Nowe the elder brother was in the fielde, and when he came and drewe neere to the house, he heard melodie, and dauncing,
26 Cha sumpa zumwi wa va hikana ni ku muvuza kuti izi zintu zi wola kuva chinzi.
And called one of his seruaunts, and asked what those things meant.
27 Muhikana cha mu wambila, mwancako weza mi veso vamwi haila inkomwana inunite, kakuti wa kavola na liketete.
And hee sayde vnto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatte calfe, because he hath receiued him safe and sound.
28 Mwan'a swisu wa mukulwana ava vengi, mi kana avayendi mukati, mi vesi va vakezi hanze, ni kwiza ku ku mu kombelela,
Then he was angry, and would not goe in: therefore came his father out and entreated him.
29 Kona che tava isi chati, vone, zonse izi zilimo zi ni va kusevelezi, mi kena ni vacholi mulao wako, mi nahanu kowini ku niha ni haiva kampene kanini kuti nilitavise ni valikani vangu.
But he answered and said to his father, Loe, these many yeeres haue I done thee seruice, neither brake I at any time thy commadement, and yet thou neuer gauest mee a kidde that I might make merie with my friends.
30 Kono mwanako heza, ya vaali chifumu ni vanakazi va mahule, u va mwi hayili inkomwana inunite.
But when this thy sonne was come, which hath deuoured thy good with harlots, thou hast for his sake killed the fat calfe.
31 Vesi chiva wamba kwali, 'Mwanangu, wina name inako yonse, mi chonse cheli changu nji chako,
And he said vnto him, Sonne, thou art euer with me, and al that I haue, is thine.
32 Kono ni kwava hande kuti tusange ni kutava, kakuti mwancako ava fwile mi hanu chahala; ava zovete, mi hanu cha wanika.
It was meete that we shoulde make merie, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is aliue againe: and hee was lost, but he is found.
