Luka 15
1 Da bi, towgyefo ne nnebɔneyɛfo pii baa Yesu nkyɛn betiee no.
Kwasekusondela kuye bonke abathelisi lezoni, ukumuzwa.
2 Farisifo ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no huu eyi no, wonwiinwii kae se, “Saa ɔbarima yi gye nnebɔneyɛfo, san ne wɔn to nsa didi.”
AbaFarisi lababhali basebesola besithi: Lo wemukela izoni, adle lazo.
3 Saa asɛm a wɔkaa no ma obuu wɔn bɛ bi se,
Wasebatshela lumfanekiso, esithi:
4 “Mo mu hena na sɛ ɔwɔ nguan ɔha na wɔn mu baako yera a, ɔrennyaw aduɔkron akron no hɔ nkokyinkyin sare so nhwehwɛ nea wayera no kosi sɛ obehu no?
Nguwuphi umuntu kini ongathi elezimvu ezilikhulu, abeselahlekelwa ngenye yazo, ongazitshiyi ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye egangeni, alandele elahlekileyo, aze ayithole?
5 Na sɛ ohu no a, ɔde no abɔ ne kɔn ho, de anigye de no aba.
Njalo athi eseyitholile ayetshate ethokoza.
6 Na sɛ odu fie a, wafrɛfrɛ ne nnamfo ne nʼafipamfo nyinaa aka akyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Momma yennye yɛn ani, efisɛ mahu me guan a ɔyerae no.’
Esefikile ekhaya, abizele ndawonye abangane labomakhelwane, esithi kubo: Thokozani lami, ngoba ngithole imvu yami ebilahlekile.
7 Saa ara nso na sɛ ɔdebɔneyɛni baako sakra nʼadwene a, ɔsorofo nyinaa ani gye sen sɛ atreneefo aduɔkron akron wɔ hɔ a adwensakra ho nhia wɔn no.
Ngithi kini: Ngokunjalo kuzakuba khona intokozo ezulwini ngesoni esisodwa esiphendukayo, kulabalungileyo abangamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye, abangasweli ukuphenduka.
8 “Anaasɛ ɔbea bɛn na sɛ ne sika mpɔw du mu baako yera a, ɔrensɔ kanea mprapra ne dan mu, nhwehwɛ kosi sɛ obehu.
Loba nguwuphi umfazi othi elenhlamvu zesiliva ezilitshumi, uba elahlekelwa luhlamvu olulodwa lwesiliva, angalumathisi isibane, athanyele indlu, adingisise aze aluthole?
9 Na sɛ ohu a, ɔremfrɛfrɛ ne nnamfo ne nʼafipamfo nyinaa nka nkyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Momma yɛn ani nnye, efisɛ mahu me sika mpɔw a ɛyerae no.’
Njalo nxa eselutholile ubizela ndawonye abangane labomakhelwane, athi: Thokozani lami, ngoba sengilutholile uhlamvu lwesiliva ebengilahlekelwe yilo.
10 Saa ara nso na sɛ ɔdebɔneyɛni baako sakra nʼadwene a, Onyankopɔn abɔfo ani gye ara ne no.”
Ngokunjalo, ngithi kini, ikhona intokozo phambi kwezingilosi zikaNkulunkulu ngesoni esisodwa esiphendukayo.
11 Yesu san buu wɔn ɔyera ho bɛ bi se, “Ɔbarima bi wɔ hɔ a na ɔwɔ mmabarima baanu.
Wasesithi: Umuntu othile wayelamadodana amabili;
12 Wɔn mu akumaa no ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya no se, ‘Mʼagya, fa me kyɛfa a mewɔ wɔ wʼagyapade mu no ma me!’ Ɔbarima no kyɛɛ nʼagyapade mu de ne ba no kyɛfa maa no.
encinyane yawo yasisithi kuyise: Baba, nginika isabelo sempahla esiqondene lami. Wasewehlukanisela impahla.
13 “Nna tiaa bi akyi no, ne ba kumaa yi boaboaa nʼahode nyinaa ano tuu kwan kɔɔ akyirikyiri asase bi so kɔbɔɔ ahohwi bra hweree nʼahode nyinaa.
Njalo kungelansuku ezinengi emva kwalokhu indodana encinyane yabutha konke yasuka yahamba yaya elizweni elikhatshana, njalo lapho yachitha khona impahla yayo, iphila okobuhlanya.
14 Ɛno akyi no, ɔkɔm kɛse bi baa asase no so maa ne ho kyeree no.
Yathi isichithile konke, kwavela indlala enkulu kulelolizwe, yona yasiqala ukuswela.
15 Ɛbaa saa no, ɔde ne ho kɔdan kuroni bi a ɔma ɔkɔhwɛɛ ne mprako so.
Yasisuka yazihlanganisa lesinye sezakhamizi zalelolizwe; njalo sayithuma emasimini aso ukuze yeluse izingulube.
16 Ɔwɔ hɔ no, ɔkɔm dee no maa ne kɔn dɔɔ sɛ anka obenya aduan a mprako no di no bi mpo adi, nanso wannya.
Yasifisa ukugcwalisa isisu sayo ngamakhasi ingulube eziwadlayo; njalo kwakungelamuntu oyinika ulutho.
17 “Nʼani baa ne ho so no, ɔkae se, ‘Apaafo a wɔwɔ mʼagya fi didi mee, ma bi ka ma wɔtow gu. Adɛn na mete ha na ɔkɔm rekum me yi!
Kwathi ingqondo yayo isibuyile yathi: Zingaki izisebenzi zikababa eziqhatshiweyo ezilezinkwa ezinengi kakhulu, kanti mina ngiyafa yindlala;
18 Mɛsɔre akɔ mʼagya nkyɛn na maka akyerɛ no se, Agya, mayɛ ɔsoro ne wo bɔne,
ngizasukuma ngiye kubaba, ngithi kuye: Baba, ngonile ezulwini, laphambi kwakho;
19 na memfata sɛ wɔfrɛ me wo ba bio; fa me yɛ wʼapaafo no mu baako.’
njalo kangisafanelanga ukubizwa ngithiwe ngiyindodana yakho; ngenza ngibe njengomunye wezisebenzi zakho eziqhatshiweyo.
20 Osii mu sɛ ɔresan aba nʼagya nkyɛn. “Ɔnam kwan so akyirikyiri reba no, nʼagya no huu no, enti ɔde ayamhyehye yɛɛ ntɛm kohyiaa no, bam no, yɛɛ no atuu.
Yasisukuma yaya kuyise. Kodwa kuthe isesekhatshana, uyise wayibona, waba lesihelo, wagijima wawela entanyeni yayo, wayanga.
21 “Aberante yi ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya no se, ‘Agya, mayɛ ɔsoro ne wo bɔne, na memfata sɛ wofrɛ me wo ba bio.’
Indodana yasisithi kuye: Baba, ngonile ezulwini laphambi kwakho, futhi kangisafanelanga ukubizwa ngokuthi ngiyindodana yakho.
22 “Nʼano ansi koraa na nʼagya no frɛɛ nʼasomfo ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, ‘Monka mo ho nkɔfa ntama pa mmefura no na monhyɛ no pɛtea ne mpaboa a ɛyɛ fɛ.
Kodwa uyise wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Khuphani lilethe isembatho esihle kakhulu liyigqokise, lifake indandatho esandleni sayo, lamanyathela enyaweni zayo;
23 Afei munkokum nantwi ba a wadɔ srade no mfa nyɛ aduan, na yennidi, nnom, nnye yɛn ani,
lilethe ithole elinonisiweyo lilihlabe, njalo sidle sithokoze;
24 efisɛ na misusuw sɛ me ba yi awu, sɛɛ na ɔte ase; ɔyerae, nanso wasan aba.’ Wofii ase gyee wɔn ani.
ngoba indodana yami le ibifile, isibuye yaphila; ibilahlekile, itholiwe; basebeqala ukuthokoza.
25 “Ne ba panyin a na ofi afum reba no duu afikyiri no, ɔtee nnwonto ne ahurusidi wɔ fie hɔ.
Kodwa indodana yakhe endala yayisensimini; yathi isiza isondela endlini, yezwa ukuhlabelela lokusina.
26 Ɛno nti ɔfrɛɛ asomfo no mu baako bisaa no nea ɛrekɔ so wɔ fie hɔ.
Yasibizela kuyo omunye wezinceku, yabuza ukuthi zitshoni lezizinto.
27 Ɔsomfo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Wo nua no asan aba a biribiara anyɛ no enti, wʼagya akum nantwi ba a wadɔ srade no ama no.’
Yasisithi kuyo: Umfowenu ufikile; loyihlo uhlabile ithole elinonisiweyo, ngoba ememukele ephila.
28 “Ɔtee saa no, ne bo fuwii, enti ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrenkɔ fie hɔ. Nʼagya tee no, ofii adi baa ne nkyɛn bɛsrɛɛ no.
Kodwa yathukuthela, ayizange ifune ukungena; ngakho uyise waphuma wayincenga.
29 Ne ba no de awerɛhow buaa no se, ‘Agya, masom wo mfe dodow yi nyinaa a nea wobɛka biara mitie, nanso wommaa me oguan ba mpo da sɛ minkum na me ne me nnamfonom mfa nnye yɛn ani.
Kodwa yaphendula yathi kuyise: Khangela, iminyaka engaka ngikusebenzela, kangizange ngeqe umlayo wakho, kodwa kawuzange unginike lazinyane lembuzi, ukuze ngijabule kanye labangane bami.
30 Nanso wo ba a ɔkɔbɔɔ ahohwi no bae yi de, woakum nantwi ba a wadɔ srade no ama no.’
Kodwa kuthe isifikile lindodana yakho eyachitha impahla yakho lezifebe, wayihlabela ithole elinonisiweyo.
31 “Nʼagya buaa no se, ‘Me ba, me ne wo na ɛte ha. Biribiara a mewɔ nso yɛ wo dea.
Wasesithi kuyo: Ndodana, wena uhlezi ulami, futhi konke okungokwami kungokwakho.
32 Ɛsɛ sɛ yegye yɛn ani, efisɛ na misusuw sɛ wo nua yi awu, sɛɛ na ɔte ase; ɔyerae, nanso wasan aba.’”
Kodwa bekufanele ukujabula lokuthokoza; ngoba umfowenu lo owayefile, usebuye waphila; wayelahlekile, utholiwe.
