Luke 15
1 Mme bakgethisi ba ba sa ikanyegeng le baleofi ba ne ba tla gantsi go reetsa dithero tsa ga Jesu,
Kwasekusondela kuye bonke abathelisi lezoni, ukumuzwa.
2 mme mo ga tsosa dingongorego mo baeteledingpele ba tumelo ya Sejuta le bomaitseanape ba melao ya Sejuta ka gore o na a tsalane le baleofi ba ba ntseng jalo, ebile aa ja le bone!
AbaFarisi lababhali basebesola besithi: Lo wemukela izoni, adle lazo.
3 Hong Jesu a dirisa setshwantsho se: “Fa o na le dinku di le lekgolo mme nngwe ya tsone ya bo e ya le naga, e timela a ga o ka ke wa tlogela tse di masome a ferabongwe le metso e fera bongwe wa latela e e timetseng go fitlhelela o e bona?
Wasebatshela lumfanekiso, esithi:
Nguwuphi umuntu kini ongathi elezimvu ezilikhulu, abeselahlekelwa ngenye yazo, ongazitshiyi ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye egangeni, alandele elahlekileyo, aze ayithole?
5 Mme o tlaa e baya mo magetleng o ya gae ka boitumelo.
Njalo athi eseyitholile ayetshate ethokoza.
6 Ere fa o goroga o phuthe ditsala tsa gago le ba o agileng nabo go itumela le wena ka gore o bonye nku e e neng e timetse.
Esefikile ekhaya, abizele ndawonye abangane labomakhelwane, esithi kubo: Thokozani lami, ngoba ngithole imvu yami ebilahlekile.
7 “Go ntse fela jalo, legodimo le tlaa itumelela moleofi a le mongwe yo o sokologelang mo Modimong go na le ba ba masome a ferabongwe le metso e ferabongwe, ba ba neng ba sa timela!
Ngithi kini: Ngokunjalo kuzakuba khona intokozo ezulwini ngesoni esisodwa esiphendukayo, kulabalungileyo abangamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye, abangasweli ukuphenduka.
8 “Setshwantsho se sengwe ke se: Mosadi o na le diselefera di le lesome tsa madi mme a bo a latlhegelwa ke e le nngwe. A ga a ka ke a tshuba lobone go sekaseka mo dihukung tsa ntlo le go feela mo dikgokgotshwaneng le mo diphatlheng go fitlhelela a e bona.
Loba nguwuphi umfazi othi elenhlamvu zesiliva ezilitshumi, uba elahlekelwa luhlamvu olulodwa lwesiliva, angalumathisi isibane, athanyele indlu, adingisise aze aluthole?
9 A mme ga a ka ke a bitsa ditsala tsa gagwe ba a agileng nabo go itumela nae?
Njalo nxa eselutholile ubizela ndawonye abangane labomakhelwane, athi: Thokozani lami, ngoba sengilutholile uhlamvu lwesiliva ebengilahlekelwe yilo.
10 Fela jalo go na le boitumelo fa pele ga baengele ba Modimo fa moleofi a le mongwe a sokologa.” Go tshwantsha ntlha e ka botlalo, a ba bolelela polelo e:
Ngokunjalo, ngithi kini, ikhona intokozo phambi kwezingilosi zikaNkulunkulu ngesoni esisodwa esiphendukayo.
11 “Monna o ne a na le bomorwawe ba le babedi.
Wasesithi: Umuntu othile wayelamadodana amabili;
12 Ya re yo mmotlana a raya rraagwe a re, ‘Ke batla seabe sa boswa jwa gago gompieno, go na le go letela go fitlhelela o swa!’ Rraagwe a dumela go kgaoganyetsa bomorwawe ba babedi khumo ya gagwe.
encinyane yawo yasisithi kuyise: Baba, nginika isabelo sempahla esiqondene lami. Wasewehlukanisela impahla.
13 “E rile morago ga malatsi a se kae morwawe yo mmotlana a phutha dilwana tsa gagwe a etela kwa lefatsheng le le kgakala, koo a feta a senya madi a gagwe mo medirong le mo boakeng.
Njalo kungelansuku ezinengi emva kwalokhu indodana encinyane yabutha konke yasuka yahamba yaya elizweni elikhatshana, njalo lapho yachitha khona impahla yayo, iphila okobuhlanya.
14 Mme ya re mo lobakeng lo madi a gagwe a neng a fedile ka lone, leuba, le legolo la wela lefatshe, mme a simolola go bolawa ke tlala.
Yathi isichithile konke, kwavela indlala enkulu kulelolizwe, yona yasiqala ukuswela.
15 A tshwenya morui mongwe wa lefatshe leo gore a mo hire go otla dikolobe tsa gagwe.
Yasisuka yazihlanganisa lesinye sezakhamizi zalelolizwe; njalo sayithuma emasimini aso ukuze yeluse izingulube.
16 Mosimane o ne a bolawa ke tlala mo a neng a bona le tsone dijo tsa dikolobe di mo siametse. Mme ga seka ga nna le ope yo o mo nayang sepe.
Yasifisa ukugcwalisa isisu sayo ngamakhasi ingulube eziwadlayo; njalo kwakungelamuntu oyinika ulutho.
17 “E rile kwa morago a tlelwa ke tlhaloganyo, a ithaya a re, ‘Kana le bone tota banna ba ba hirilweng kwa gaetsho ba na le dijo tse di lekanyeng, di bo di sala, mme nna fano, ke bolawa ke tlala!
Kwathi ingqondo yayo isibuyile yathi: Zingaki izisebenzi zikababa eziqhatshiweyo ezilezinkwa ezinengi kakhulu, kanti mina ngiyafa yindlala;
18 Ke tlaa ya gae kwa go rre ke re, “Rra, ke leofetse legodimo le wena.”
ngizasukuma ngiye kubaba, ngithi kuye: Baba, ngonile ezulwini, laphambi kwakho;
19 Mme ga ke tlhole ke tshwanetse go bidiwa morwao. Tswee-tswee mma ke nne modiredi wa gago.’
njalo kangisafanelanga ukubizwa ngithiwe ngiyindodana yakho; ngenza ngibe njengomunye wezisebenzi zakho eziqhatshiweyo.
20 “Jalo a boela gae kwa go rraagwe. Mme e rile a sa le kgakala, rraagwe a mmona a tla, mme a mo tlhomogela pelo ka lorato a taboga a mo tlamparela a bo a mo atla.
Yasisukuma yaya kuyise. Kodwa kuthe isesekhatshana, uyise wayibona, waba lesihelo, wagijima wawela entanyeni yayo, wayanga.
21 “Morwawe a mo raya a re, ‘Rra, ke leofetse legodimo le wena, mme ga ke na tshwanelo ya go bidiwa morwao—’
Indodana yasisithi kuye: Baba, ngonile ezulwini laphambi kwakho, futhi kangisafanelanga ukubizwa ngokuthi ngiyindodana yakho.
22 Mme rraagwe a raya batlhanka a re, ‘Itlhaganeleng! Tlisang seaparo se se ntle mo tlung lo mo apese. Le mhitshana wa botlhokwa go o rwala mo monwaneng wa gagwe le ditlhako.
Kodwa uyise wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Khuphani lilethe isembatho esihle kakhulu liyigqokise, lifake indandatho esandleni sayo, lamanyathela enyaweni zayo;
23 Mme lo bolaye kgongwana e e nonneng e re nang nayo mo sakeng. Re tshwanetse go dira mokete,
lilethe ithole elinonisiweyo lilihlabe, njalo sidle sithokoze;
24 gonne morwaake yo, o ne a sule mme o rudile. O ne a timetse mme o bonywe!’ Hong modiro wa simologa.
ngoba indodana yami le ibifile, isibuye yaphila; ibilahlekile, itholiwe; basebeqala ukuthokoza.
25 “Ka nako eo, morwawe yo mo tona o ne a dira mo tshimong, erile fa a boela gae a utlwa moopelo wa mmino o tswa mo tlung;
Kodwa indodana yakhe endala yayisensimini; yathi isiza isondela endlini, yezwa ukuhlabelela lokusina.
26 mme a botsa mongwe wa batlhanka gore go diregang?
Yasibizela kuyo omunye wezinceku, yabuza ukuthi zitshoni lezizinto.
27 “A mo raya a re, ‘Monnao o buile mme rrago o bolaile kgongwana e e nonneng o baakantse modiro o mogolo wa go itumelela go boa ga gagwe a sa bolaisega gope’.
Yasisithi kuyo: Umfowenu ufikile; loyihlo uhlabile ithole elinonisiweyo, ngoba ememukele ephila.
28 “Mogolowe a shakgala thata a bo a se ka a tsena mo teng. Rraagwe a tswela kwa ntle a mo rapela,
Kodwa yathukuthela, ayizange ifune ukungena; ngakho uyise waphuma wayincenga.
29 mme a fetola a re, ‘Mo dingwageng tse tsotlhe ke go diretse thata mme ga ke ise nke ke gane go dira sepe se o neng o re ke se dire; mme mo lobakeng loo lotlhe ga o ise o ke o nneye le fa e le potsane go dira modiro le ditsala tsa me.
Kodwa yaphendula yathi kuyise: Khangela, iminyaka engaka ngikusebenzela, kangizange ngeqe umlayo wakho, kodwa kawuzange unginike lazinyane lembuzi, ukuze ngijabule kanye labangane bami.
30 Le fa go ntse jalo ngwana yo wa gago yo o boileng a sena go senya madi mo boakeng, o mo itumeletse ka go mo tlhabela kgongwana e e nonneng e re neng re na nayo mo sakeng’.
Kodwa kuthe isifikile lindodana yakho eyachitha impahla yakho lezifebe, wayihlabela ithole elinonisiweyo.
31 “Mme rraagwe a mo raya a re, ‘Bona morwaaka yo o rategang, wena le nna re atamalane thata, sengwe le sengwe se ke nang naso ke sa gago.
Wasesithi kuyo: Ndodana, wena uhlezi ulami, futhi konke okungokwami kungokwakho.
32 Mme go tshwanetse go dirwa modiro. Gonne ke monnao; yo o neng a sule mme o rudile, yo o neng a timetse mme o bonywe.’”
Kodwa bekufanele ukujabula lokuthokoza; ngoba umfowenu lo owayefile, usebuye waphila; wayelahlekile, utholiwe.
