< Luka 15 >

1 Lyuŵa limo, ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ŵajinji ni ŵa sambi ŵajinji ŵaiche ku Che Yesu kukwapilikanila.
And publicans and sinners came 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 Scribes and Pharisees murmured, and said: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Che Yesu ŵaasalile chitagu chati,
And Jesus spoke to them this similitude:
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 among you, that hath a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the desert, and go and seek for that which is lost, until he find it?
5 Ni patajione chajijigale mmakoyo, achisangalalaga.
And when he findeth it, he rejoiceth, and taketh it upon his shoulders;
6 Pakwika kumangwao, chachaŵilanga achambusanga ŵao ni ŵapachiŵandi pao kwasalila, ‘Nsangalale pamo ni une, pakuŵa ngondolo jangu jijasoŵile jila najipatile.
and he cometh home, and he calleth together his friends and neighbors, and saith 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 there will thus be joy in heaven, over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just ones, to whom repentance was not necessary.
8 “Atamuno tujile, jwankongwe jumpepe jwana mbiya likumi, asoyesyaga mbiya jimo, ngaapamba lumuli ni kupyajila nyuumba achisosaga uchenene mpaka ajisimane?
Or what woman is there, who, if she have ten drachmas, and lose one of them, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search for it carefully, until 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 hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, and saith to them: Rejoice with me, for I have found my drachma that was lost.
10 Ngunsalila, kwati iyoyo peyo ni yakuti pakusangalala achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵa Akunnungu ligongo lya jumo jwalesile sambi.”
I say to you, That there will thus be joy, before the angels of God, over one sinner that repenteth.
11 Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta kwa chitagu achitiji, “Jwapali mundu jumo juŵakwete achachanda ŵaŵili.
And Jesus said to them again: 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 his younger son said to him: My father, give me the portion that falleth to me from thy house. And he divided to them his property.
13 Pangakaŵa moŵa, jwannung'una jula ŵajigele yakwe ila ni kwaula kuchilambo cha kutalika ni kweleko ŵatumie ipanje yakwe yose kwa wamba.
And after a few days, the younger son collected together all that fell to him, and went to a distant place and there squandered his property, by living in dissipation.
14 Payamalile yose, kwatyochele sala jajikulungwa mchilambo mo ni ŵatandite kuchenjeuka pakuŵa nganakola chindu.
And when he had consumed all that he had, there occurred a great famine in that place; 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 connected himself with one of the citizens of that place: and he sent him into the field to tend swine.
16 Ŵalajile kulya chakulya cha maguluŵe gala nambo ngapagwa mundu juŵampele chindu.
And he longed to fill his belly with those pods which the swine ate: 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?
And when he came to himself, he said: How many hired servants are now at my father's house, who have bread enough, and I am here 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 say to him: My father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee;
19 Nganguŵajilwa sooni kuŵilanjikwa mwanagwenu. Mundende mpela jumo jwa ŵamasengo ŵenu.’
and am no longer worthy to be called thy son. Make me like one of thy 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 went towards his father. And he was yet at a distance, when his father saw him; and he pitied 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.’
And his son said to him: My father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am not worthy to be called thy son.
22 Nambo atatigwe ŵaasalile achikapolo ŵao kuti, ‘Njanguye! Nkajigale chiwalo chambone mumwasye! Mumwasye pete ni italawanda!
But his father said to his servants: Bring forth the best robe, and clothe him, and put a ring on his hand, and supply him with shoes.
23 Nkajijigale ng'ombe jamwana jakunakana jila njisikite, tulye ni kusangalala pamo!
And bring forth and slay the fatted bullock; 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; 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 the sound of the singing of many.
26 Ŵambilasile jwakutumichila jumo ni ŵambusisye kuti, ‘Ana kwana chichi?’
And he called to one of the boys, and asked him what it 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: Thy brother hath come; and thy father hath killed the fatted bullock, because he hath 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: and 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!
And he said to his father: Lo, these many years have I labored in thy service, and never transgressed thy command; and thou never gavest 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 for this thy son, when he had dissipated thy property with harlots, and came home, thou hast slain the fatted bullock for him.
31 Atatigwe ŵanjanjile kuti, ‘Mwanangu, mmwe nndi pamo none moŵa gose ni yose ingwete ili yenu.
His father said to him: My son, thou hast been ever with me, and all that I have, is thine.
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 proper for us to be merry, and to rejoice; because this thy brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.
