Lukka 15
1 Awo abasolooza b’omusolo n’abakozi b’ebibi ne bakuŋŋaanira eri Yesu okumuwuliriza.
Then drew near to him the publicans and sinners to hear him.
2 Naye Abafalisaayo n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne beemulugunya nga bagamba nti Yesu akolagana n’abantu abalina ebibi, n’okulya n’alya nabo.
And the Sophree and Pharishee murmured, and said, This (man) receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Yesu n’alyoka abagerera olugero luno ng’agamba nti,
And Jeshu spake to them this parable:
4 “Singa omu ku mmwe abadde alina endiga kikumi, naye emu n’emubulako, taleka ziri ekyenda mu omwenda ku ttale n’agenda anoonya eri ebuze okutuusa Lw’agiraba?
What man of you, who hath a hundred sheep, if he shall lose one from them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and, going, seeketh that which was lost until he shall have found it?
5 Bw’agiraba, agisitula ku bibegabega bye n’agitwala eka ng’ajaguza.
And when he hath found it, he rejoiceth and carrieth it upon his shoulders.
6 Bw’atuuka eka ayita mikwano gye ne baliraanwa be bajje ng’agamba nti, ‘Munsanyukireko kubanga endiga yange eyabadde ebuze, erabise.’
And, coming to his house, he calleth his friends and his neighbours, and saith to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found the sheep which was lost.
7 Mu ngeri y’emu, mbagamba nti mu ggulu eribaayo essanyu lingi nnyo olw’omwonoonyi omu eyeenenyezza okusinga ekyenda mu omwenda abatuukirivu abateetaaga kwenenya.”
I say to you, that thus shall there be joy in heaven over one sinner who repenteth, more than over the ninety and nine just ones who have no need of repentance.
8 “Oba mukazi ki alina ennoso ze kkumi, emu n’emubulako, atakoleeza ttaala n’anoonya mu buli kasonda konna ak’ennyumba, n’ayera n’ebuziizi yenna okutuusa lw’agiraba?
Or, who is the woman that hath ten zuzis, and shall lose one of them, (and) does not light a lamp and sweep the house, and seek it diligently, until she shall have found it?
9 Bw’agiraba, ayita mikwano gye ne baliraanwa be n’abagamba nti, ‘Munsanyukireko, ennoso yange eyabadde ebuze ngirabye.’
And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours, and saith to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my zuzi that I had lost.
10 Mbategeeza nti mu ngeri y’emu omukozi w’ebibi omu bwe yeenenya, bamalayika ba Katonda bajjula essanyu.”
I say to you, that so shall there be joy before the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11 Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Waaliwo omusajja eyalina batabani be babiri.
AND Jeshu said to them again, A certain man had two sons;
12 Omuto n’agamba kitaawe nti, ‘Kitange, nkusaba ompe omugabo gwange ku bintu byo ogunsaanidde.’ Kitaawe n’abagabanyiza ebintu byabwe.
and his minor son said to him, My father, give to me my division of the goods of thy house. And he divided to them his substance.
13 “Waayitawo ennaku ntono, omwana omuto n’asibako ebintu bye byonna ne yeetambulira, n’agenda mu nsi ey’ewala. Bwe yatuuka eyo n’asaasaanya ebintu bye ne yeemalira mu binyumu.
And after a few days the minor son gathered together his all whatsoever, and went into a distant country, and there dispersed his substance in living profusely.
14 Mu kiseera ekyo we yamalirawo ebintu bye byonna, n’enjala nnyingi we yagwira mu nsi omwo mwe yali, n’asiibanga era n’asulanga enjala.
And when every thing he had was finished, there was a great famine in that country; and he began to want.
15 N’agenda abeere ew’omwami omu ow’omu nsi omwo n’amusaba amuwe omulimu, n’amusindika gye yalundiranga embizzi azirabirirenga.
And he went and joined himself to one of the sons of the city of that place; and he sent him into the field to tend the swine.
16 Omulenzi ne yeegombanga okulyanga ebikuta by’embizzi, naye ne watabaawo amuwa kantu konna.
And he had a desire to fill his belly with those karubs which the swine did eat; and no man gave to him.
17 “Naye bwe yeddamu n’agamba nti, ‘Eka ewaffe, abasajja abapakasi aba kitange bafuna emmere nnyingi ne balya ne balemwa, naye nze ndi wano nfiira wano enjala!
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hirelings are there now in my father's house, who have abundance of bread, and I here with hunger am perishing!
18 Nnaagenda eri kitange, mugambe nti, Kitange, nnyonoonye eri eggulu ne mu maaso go,
I will arise, go to my father, and say to him, My father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee,
19 era sikyasaanira na kuyitibwa mwana wo. Nfunira omulimu mbeere ng’abapakasi bo.’
and am no more worthy thy son to be called: make me as one of thy hirelings.
20 Bw’atyo n’asitula n’addayo ewa kitaawe. “Naye bwe yali ng’akyaliko wala n’awaka, kitaawe n’amulengera ng’ajja, n’amusaasira nnyo. Kitaawe ng’ajjudde amaziga n’amusisinkana, n’amugwa mu kifuba n’amunywegera.
And he arose, (and) went to his father. And while he was (yet) afar, his father saw him, and had compassion upon him, and ran, fell upon his neck, and kissed him.
21 Omwana n’agamba kitaawe nti, ‘Kitange, nnyonoonye eri eggulu ne mu maaso go. Sikyasaanira kuyitibwa mwana wo.’
And his son said to him, My father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and am not worthy thy son to be called.
22 “Naye kitaawe n’alagira abaddu be nti, ‘Mwanguwe mangu! Muleete ekkanzu esinga obulungi mugimwambaze. Mumunaanike empeta ku ngalo ye, mumwambaze n’engatto!
But his father said to his servants, Bring forth the first robe to clothe him, and put a ring upon his hand, and let him be, shod with sandals,
23 Era mugende mutte ennyana eya ssava. Tufumbe embaga nnene tujaguze.
and bring, kill the calf that is fat, and let us eat and be glad;
24 Kubanga mutabani wange ono yali afudde kaakano mulamu, yali azaaye laba wuuno azaawuse.’ Embaga n’etandika.
for this my son was dead, and he is alive; he was lost, and is found. And they began to rejoice.
25 “Mu kiseera ekyo omwana omukulu yali ali mu nnimiro. Awo bwe yali akomawo eka ng’asemberedde ennyumba, n’awulira ennyimba ez’amazina.
But he, the elder son, was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard the voice of music;
26 N’ayita omu ku baweereza n’amubuuza bwe bibadde.
and he called one of the youths, and asked him what this was.
27 Omuweereza n’amutegeeza nti, ‘Muganda wo akomyewo, era kitammwe amuttidde ennyana eya ssava olwokubanga muganda wo akomyewo nga mulamu bulungi.’
He said to him, Thy brother hath come, and thy father hath killed the calf that was fat, because he hath received him well.
28 “Muganda we omukulu n’anyiiga, n’okuyingira n’atayingira mu nnyumba. Naye kitaawe n’ajja n’amwegayirira ayingire,
And he was angry, and would not go in. And his father came forth and besought him.
29 naye omwana n’amuddamu nti, ‘Emyaka gino gyonna nkukoledde, era tewali mulundi na gumu Lwe wali ondagidde ne nkujeemera. Naye tompangayo wadde akabuzi akato neesanyuseeko ne mikwano gyange.
But he said to his father, Behold, how many years have I wrought thee service, and never have I transgressed thy commandment: yet never hast thou given me a kid, that I might feast with my friends.
30 Naye kale mutabani wo olukomyewo ng’ebintu byo bye wamuwa amaze okubimalira mu bamalaaya, n’omuttira ennyana ensava.’
But this thy son, when he hath wasted thy substance with harlots, and hath come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 “Kitaawe n’amuddamu nti, ‘Laba mwana wange, tuli ffenna bulijjo, era byonna bye nnina bibyo.
His father saith to him, My son, thou in all time art with me, and every thing that I have is thine.
32 Kaakano kituufu okusanyuka n’okujaguza. Kubanga muganda wo, yali afudde, kaakano mulamu! Yali azaaye, wuuno azaawuse!’”
But to rejoice it behoves us, and to be glad, because this thy brother was dead, and is alive; and was lost, and is found.
