Luka 15
1 Lyuŵa limo, ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵajinji ni ŵa sambi ŵajinji ŵaiche ku Che Yesu kukwapilikanila.
And all the publicans and the sinners came near to him to hear him.
2 Mafalisayo ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga che Musa ŵatandite kunyinyita achitiji, “Munnole mundu ju! Akwapochela ŵaali ni sambi, sooni akulya nawo pamo.”
And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receives sinners, and eats with them.
3 Che Yesu ŵaasalile chitagu chati,
And he spoke this parable to them, saying:
4 “Ana jwapi mwa ŵanyamwe akolaga ngondolo mia moja, amanyililaga kuti jisoŵile jimo, ngakusileka asila tisini na tisa mwitinji ni kwaula kukujisosa jajisoŵile jila mpaka patajione?
What man of you that has a hundred sheep, and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which is lost, till he find it?
5 Ni patajione chajijigale mmakoyo, achisangalalaga.
And when he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 Pakwika kumangwao, chachaŵilanga achambusanga ŵao ni ŵapachiŵandi pao kwasalila, ‘Nsangalale pamo ni une, pakuŵa ngondolo jangu jijasoŵile jila najipatile.
And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, and says to them., Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.
7 Ngunsalila kuti kwati iyoyo peyo ni kutichiŵa sangalala kwinani kwa ligongo lya mundu jumo jwali ni sambi kuleka sambi, kupunda ŵandu ŵakupanganya yaili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu tisini na tisa ŵangakusaka kuleka sambi.
I say to you, That thus there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety-nine just persons, who need no repentance.
8 “Atamuno tujile, jwankongwe jumpepe jwana mbiya likumi, asoyesyaga mbiya jimo, ngaapamba lumuli ni kupyajila nyuumba achisosaga uchenene mpaka ajisimane?
Or, what woman that has ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search carefully till she find it?
9 Ajisimanaga, chachaŵilanga achambusanga ŵao ni ŵapachiŵandi pao ni kuti, ‘Nsangalale pamo ni une, pakuŵa mbiya jangu jijasoŵile jila najiweni.’
And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma that I lost.
10 Ngunsalila, kwati iyoyo peyo ni yakuti pakusangalala achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵa Akunnungu ligongo lya jumo jwalesile sambi.”
So, I say to you, There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.
11 Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta kwa chitagu achitiji, “Jwapali mundu jumo juŵakwete achachanda ŵaŵili.
Then he said: A certain man had two sons.
12 Jwannung'una jula ŵansalile atatigwe kuti, ‘Atati mumbe chigaŵanyo cha ipanje chachikung'wilila une.’ Nombewo ŵagaŵanyichisye wose ŵaŵili ipanje iŵakwete.
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of the property that falls to me. And he divided his estate between them.
13 Pangakaŵa moŵa, jwannung'una jula ŵajigele yakwe ila ni kwaula kuchilambo cha kutalika ni kweleko ŵatumie ipanje yakwe yose kwa wamba.
And not many days after, the younger son, taking with him all that was his, left home for a distant country, and there wasted his property in riotous living.
14 Payamalile yose, kwatyochele sala jajikulungwa mchilambo mo ni ŵatandite kuchenjeuka pakuŵa nganakola chindu.
When he had spent all, there was a great famine throughout that country, and he began to be in want.
15 Ŵajawile kwa mundu jumo jwa mwele mchilambo kukuŵenda masengo, nombewo ŵanjawisye kungunda ŵao kukugagosa maguluŵe.
And he went and attached himself to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 Ŵalajile kulya chakulya cha maguluŵe gala nambo ngapagwa mundu juŵampele chindu.
And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods which the swine did eat. And no one gave to him.
17 Paŵaimanyilile iŵaliji ŵakuloŵela kundanda ŵatite, ‘Ana kwana ŵamasengo ŵalingwa kwa atati ŵangu ŵakulyanga ni kusigasya, none ligongo chi nguwa sala?
But when he came to himself, he said, How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger!
18 Chimujile kwa atati ŵangu ni kwasalila, Atati une naleŵele Akunnungu ni nanneŵele nomwe ŵakwe.
I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight,
19 Nganguŵajilwa sooni kuŵilanjikwa mwanagwenu. Mundende mpela jumo jwa ŵamasengo ŵenu.’
and am no longer worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants.
20 Ŵatandite ulendo kuuja kwa atati ŵao. “Paŵaliji kwakutalichila kanandi, atatigwe ŵambweni ni kunkolela chanasa ni ŵammutuchile ni kwakomasya kwa unonyelo.
And he arose, and came to his father. And while he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion on him, and ran and fell upon his neck, and kissed him.
21 Mwanagwao jula ŵansalile, ‘Atati, une naleŵele Akunnungu ni nanneŵele nomwe ŵakwe. Nganguŵajilwa sooni kuŵilanjikwa mwanagwenu.’
But his son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.
22 Nambo atatigwe ŵaasalile achikapolo ŵao kuti, ‘Njanguye! Nkajigale chiwalo chambone mumwasye! Mumwasye pete ni italawanda!
But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet.
23 Nkajijigale ng'ombe jamwana jakunakana jila njisikite, tulye ni kusangalala pamo!
And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and be merry;
24 Pakuŵa mwanangu ju kwangu une ŵaliji mpela jwamwe, nambo ali jwanjumi, ŵaliji asoŵile nambo sambano awoneche.’ Ni ŵatandite kusangalala pamo.
for this my son was dead, and is alive again: he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 “Kele katemako mwanagwao jwankulungwa jula ŵaliji ku ngunda. Paŵaujaga ni kuŵandichila kumangwao, ŵakupikene kwimba ni kutyala.
But his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Ŵambilasile jwakutumichila jumo ni ŵambusisye kuti, ‘Ana kwana chichi?’
And he called to him one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 Ni kapolo jula ŵanjanjile, ‘Apwenu ausile pamusi ni atati ŵenu asikite ng'ombe jamwana jakunakana ligongo lya ŵelewo pakuŵa ampochele ali jwanjumi.’
And he said to him, Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him in health.
28 “Nambo nchanda jwankulungwa jo ŵatumbile ni ŵakanile kwinjila nkati. Nipele atatigwe ŵakopweche ni kunchondelela kuti ajinjile.
And he was angry, and would not go in. Then his father went out and entreated him.
29 Nambo ŵelewo ŵanjanjile atatigwe kuti, ‘Nnole! Yaka yejinji i nantumichile mpela kapolo ni nganingane kunjitichisya makanyo genu. Mumbele chichi? Nganimumba atamuno kambusi kuti sangalale pamo ni achambusanga ŵangu!
But he answered and said to his father, Behold, for so many years do I serve you, and never have I transgressed your commandment, and yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends.
30 Nambo paŵaiche aju mwanagwenu jwajonasile chipanje chenu kwa kulaŵalaŵa, munsikitile jwelejo ng'ombe jamwana jakunakana jila.’
But as soon as this your son has come, Who has eaten up your estate with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf.
31 Atatigwe ŵanjanjile kuti, ‘Mwanangu, mmwe nndi pamo none moŵa gose ni yose ingwete ili yenu.
And he said to him, Son, you are ever with me, and all that I have is yours.
32 Kwa yele yatuŵajile kutenda chindimba ni kusangalala, ligongo mpwenuju, kwanguune ŵaliji mpela jwamwe nambo sambano ali jwanjumi ni ŵaliji asoŵile nambo sambano awoneche.’”
But it became us to make merry and rejoice; for this your brother was dead, and is alive again: was lost, and is found.
