Luka 15
1 Lyuŵa limo, ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵajinji ni ŵa sambi ŵajinji ŵaiche ku Che Yesu kukwapilikanila.
Now all the tax-gatherers and sinners continued to draw near him, and to listen to 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 Scribes began to complain, saying, "He is welcoming sinners and eating with them!"
3 Che Yesu ŵaasalile chitagu chati,
And he told them a parable.
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?
"Which one of you men, if he has a hundred sheep, and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it?
5 Ni patajione chajijigale mmakoyo, achisangalalaga.
"And after he has found it, he lays it on his shoulder, rejoicing.
6 Pakwika kumangwao, chachaŵilanga achambusanga ŵao ni ŵapachiŵandi pao kwasalila, ‘Nsangalale pamo ni une, pakuŵa ngondolo jangu jijasoŵile jila najipatile.
"When he gets home he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying, "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 even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety and 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, again, suppose a woman has ten coins. If she loses one, does she not light a lamp and sweep the house, and search anxiously until she finds it?
9 Ajisimanaga, chachaŵilanga achambusanga ŵao ni ŵapachiŵandi pao ni kuti, ‘Nsangalale pamo ni une, pakuŵa mbiya jangu jijasoŵile jila najiweni.’
"And when she has found it, she calls together her woman friends and neighbors and say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.’
10 Ngunsalila, kwati iyoyo peyo ni yakuti pakusangalala achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵa Akunnungu ligongo lya jumo jwalesile sambi.”
"Even so I tell you there is joy in the presence of the angels for God over one sinner who repents."
11 Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta kwa chitagu achitiji, “Jwapali mundu jumo juŵakwete achachanda ŵaŵili.
And he said. "There was a man who had two sons.
12 Jwannung'una jula ŵansalile atatigwe kuti, ‘Atati mumbe chigaŵanyo cha ipanje chachikung'wilila une.’ Nombewo ŵagaŵanyichisye wose ŵaŵili ipanje iŵakwete.
"The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of your property which is coming to me.’ So he divided his means among them.
13 Pangakaŵa moŵa, jwannung'una jula ŵajigele yakwe ila ni kwaula kuchilambo cha kutalika ni kweleko ŵatumie ipanje yakwe yose kwa wamba.
"Not many days after that the younger son gathered everything together and took his journey into a distant country; and there he wasted his money on living unsavingly.
14 Payamalile yose, kwatyochele sala jajikulungwa mchilambo mo ni ŵatandite kuchenjeuka pakuŵa nganakola chindu.
"After he had spent everything there came a terrible famine in the land, and he began to be in want.
15 Ŵajawile kwa mundu jumo jwa mwele mchilambo kukuŵenda masengo, nombewo ŵanjawisye kungunda ŵao kukugagosa maguluŵe.
"So he went and hired to one of the citizens of that land, who sent him out into the fields to feed swine.
16 Ŵalajile kulya chakulya cha maguluŵe gala nambo ngapagwa mundu juŵampele chindu.
"And he was longing to be filled with the husks which the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
17 Paŵaimanyilile iŵaliji ŵakuloŵela kundanda ŵatite, ‘Ana kwana ŵamasengo ŵalingwa kwa atati ŵangu ŵakulyanga ni kusigasya, none ligongo chi nguwa sala?
"When he came to himself he said. "‘How many of my father’s hired men have bread enough and to spare, while I am perishing of hunger!
18 Chimujile kwa atati ŵangu ni kwasalila, Atati une naleŵele Akunnungu ni nanneŵele nomwe ŵakwe.
"‘I will rise and go to my father, and say to him. "Father, I have sinned against Heaven and in your sight,
19 Nganguŵajilwa sooni kuŵilanjikwa mwanagwenu. Mundende mpela jumo jwa ŵamasengo ŵenu.’
"‘"I am no more worthy to be called your son; only make me like one of your hired men."‘
20 Ŵatandite ulendo kuuja kwa atati ŵao. “Paŵaliji kwakutalichila kanandi, atatigwe ŵambweni ni kunkolela chanasa ni ŵammutuchile ni kwakomasya kwa unonyelo.
"So he arose and went to his father; but while he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.
21 Mwanagwao jula ŵansalile, ‘Atati, une naleŵele Akunnungu ni nanneŵele nomwe ŵakwe. Nganguŵajilwa sooni kuŵilanjikwa mwanagwenu.’
"The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight and am no more worthy to be called your son.’
22 Nambo atatigwe ŵaasalile achikapolo ŵao kuti, ‘Njanguye! Nkajigale chiwalo chambone mumwasye! Mumwasye pete ni italawanda!
"‘Fetch the best robe, quick,’ said the father to his slaves, ‘and put it on him, and give him a ring on his finger, and shoes on his feet.
23 Nkajijigale ng'ombe jamwana jakunakana jila njisikite, tulye ni kusangalala pamo!
"‘Bring that fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry,
24 Pakuŵa mwanangu ju kwangu une ŵaliji mpela jwamwe, nambo ali jwanjumi, ŵaliji asoŵile nambo sambano awoneche.’ Ni ŵatandite kusangalala pamo.
"‘for this son of mine was dead and is alive again - he was lost and is found.’
25 “Kele katemako mwanagwao jwankulungwa jula ŵaliji ku ngunda. Paŵaujaga ni kuŵandichila kumangwao, ŵakupikene kwimba ni kutyala.
"So they began to make merry. But his elder son was in the field, and as he drew near to the house he heard music and dancing,
26 Ŵambilasile jwakutumichila jumo ni ŵambusisye kuti, ‘Ana kwana chichi?’
"and he summoned one of the slaves, and began to inquire of him what all this meant.
27 Ni kapolo jula ŵanjanjile, ‘Apwenu ausile pamusi ni atati ŵenu asikite ng'ombe jamwana jakunakana ligongo lya ŵelewo pakuŵa ampochele ali jwanjumi.’
"‘Your brother is come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has him safe and sound.’
28 “Nambo nchanda jwankulungwa jo ŵatumbile ni ŵakanile kwinjila nkati. Nipele atatigwe ŵakopweche ni kunchondelela kuti ajinjile.
"But he was angry and would not go in; so his father came out, and attempted to plead with him; but he said to his father.
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!
"‘All these years I have been slaving for you and never disobeyed a command of yours. Yet you never gave me even a kid so 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 when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with harlots, you have killed him the fatted calf.’
31 Atatigwe ŵanjanjile kuti, ‘Mwanangu, mmwe nndi pamo none moŵa gose ni yose ingwete ili yenu.
"‘My dear son,’ answered his father, ‘you are always with me and all that is mine 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 was fitting that we should make merry and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and is alive; he was lost and is found.’"
