Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
Lishaka limu watoza kodi wavua pamuwera na wanavidoda wiziti kumpikinira Yesu,
2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
Wamafalisayu na wafunda wa Malagaliru wanjiti kung'ong'a, mumoyu mwawu, walonga, “Muntu ayu kuwashemera wanavidoda na ata kuliya pamuwera na womberi!”
3 He told them this parable:
Su Yesu kawagambira mfanu agu,
4 “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
“Yumu pakati penu pakawera na wakondolu miya na pagwerewa yumu kagamila, hagutendi ashi? Haguwaleki walii wakondolu malongu tisa na tisa kuntundu na kugenda kumsakula kondolu ulii yakagamiliti mpaka gumwoni.
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Pagumwona hagunemeleli nentu na hagumpapi mumakombi mwaku
6 When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’
na kuuya nayu ukaya. Shakapanu pagusoka ukaya, haguwashemi waganja waku na wapakwegera pamuwera na kuwagambira, ‘Nana shereku shereku nentu toziya numwona kondolu gwangu yakagamiliti. Su tunemeleli pamuwera!’
7 I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
Ndo ntambu ira ayi, nukugambirani haiweri nemeru nentu kumpindi kwa yakatenda vidoda yumu pakaleka vidoda vyakatenditi kuliku wantu malongu tisa na tisa yawamfiriziya Mlungu, ndoweni yawalihola wahera vidoda vyakuleka.
8 “Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, would not light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
“Ama payiwera mdala yumu yakawera na magwala lilongu limu na ligwala limu paliyagamila, su hakatendi ashi? Hakawashi shikoloboyi, hakafyagili numba yakuwi na kusakula weri kila pahala mpaka kaliwoni.
9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’
Handa pakayiwona kala, ndo hakawashemi waganja wakuwi na wapakwegera pamuwera na kuwagambira, ‘Nana nemeli nentu toziya mona mpiya yaiyagamiliti. Su tunemeleli pamuwera!’
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
Nankuwagambira nakaka ndo hera hangu, wantumintumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu hawanemeleri toziya ya muntu yumu yakatenda vidoda pakaleka vidoda vyakatenditi.”
11 He said, “A certain man had two sons.
Yesu kendereyiti kulonga, “Kwanaga muntu yumu yakaweriti na wana wawili wapalu.
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
Muhasha kamgambiriti tati gwakuwi, ‘Tati gunupi vinu uhala wangu.’ Su muntu ulii kawagawira sawa wana wakuwi awili.
13 Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
Gapita ndiri mashaka gavuwa muhasha ulii kawuza uhala wakuwi woseri, shakapanu kawuka ukaya kagenda zakuwi na mpiya zakapatiti. Kagenditi isi ya kutali kweni aku su katumiyiti mpiya zilii vuluvulu.
14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
Kamaliriti kila shintu shakaweriti nashi. Su ilawira njala na kueneya muisi yoseri, na yomberi kaweriti kahera shintu.
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
Su kagenditi kutenda lihengu kwa muntu yumu gwa isi ilii, mweni kamtuliti mulirambu lyakuwi kuwalolera wamtumbi.
16 He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
Kafiriti kuliya viboga vyawalekiti wamtumbi, toziya kwahera muntu yakamupiti shintu shakuliya.
17 But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I am dying with hunger!
Upeleru kanjiti kulihola mumoyu na kutakula, ‘Wantumintumi wa tati gwangu waliya viboga mpaka waleka, pahala panu neni nankufuwa njala!
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
Hambuyi kwa tati gwangu na kulonga, Tati, ntenda vitendu vifaa ndiri kwa Mlungu na kwaku viraa.
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
Neni nfaa ndiri kushemwa mwana gwaku, guntendi neni gambira yumu gwa wantumintumi waku.’
20 “He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Su kanjiti mwanja kuwuya ukaya kwa tati gwakuwi.” “Pakaweriti kankali kakutali kulawa ukaya, kumbiti tati gwakuwi kamwoniti kala, su moyu gwakuwi gumwoniliti lusungu, su kumtugira na kamkisikira mwana gwakuwi na kumnonera.
21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
Mwana ulii kamgambira tati gwakuwi, ‘Tati, neni numkosera Mlungu na gwenga viraa. Nfaa ndiri kunshema namwana gwaku.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
Kumbiti tati gwakuwi kawashemiti wantumintumi wakuwi na kawagambira, ‘Kanongola! Mtoli nguwu ziherepa nentu mumvalisiyi na pete mvalisiyi mushyala na mumvalisiyi vilwatu mumagulu.
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
Shakapanu mgendi mkamlikatuli ndama kaherepa tuliyi, na tunemeleli mumsambu!
24 for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
Toziya mwana gwangu kahowiti, kumbiti vinu kazyuka, kaweriti kagamila, kumbiti leru kawoneka.’ Su wanjiti kuvina msambu.
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
“Shipindi shilii mkulu gwakuwi kaweriti kankali keniwuyi kulirambu. Pakaweriti munjira pakwegera na ukaya kwakuwi kankuwuya, kapikaniriti zilaa shereku na ng'oma.
26 He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
Su kamshemiti yumu gwa wantumitumi na kamkosiya, ‘Kwana shishi pakaya panu?’
27 He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
Ntumintumi ulii kamwankula, ‘Mlongu gwaku kawuya pakaya panu, su tati gwaku kamshinjira lindama likulukulu, toziya kamwona kankali mkomu.’
28 But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
“Su muntemba mkulu ulii kakalariti nentu, kalemiti kwingira mnumba, su tati gwakuwi kalawiti kunja na kamgambira kingiri.
29 But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
Kumbiti yomberi kamwankula tati gwakuwi, ‘Guloli, mivinja yoseri ayi nukutendera lihengu gambira ntumintumi, na ng'enda ndiri shinyumi na lilagaliru lyaku. Gunupa shishi neni? Pota na kunupa mbuzi ntendi msambu pamuwera na waganja wangu!
30 But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
Kumbiti leru kiza mwana gwaku ayu yakatumiyiti ulunda waku woseri pamuwera na wandiyandiya, na pakawuyiti pakaya panu, gwenga gumshinjira ula ndama likulukulu!’
31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
Tati gwakuwi kamwankula, ‘Mwana gwangu, gwenga gulikala pahala panu na neni mashaka goseri, vinu vintu vyoseri vyanwera navyi ndo vya gwenga.
32 But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
Kumbiti tufiruwa tuvini msambu na kunemelera, toziya mlongu gwaku kahowiti, kumbiti vinu kazyuka, kaweriti kagamila, kumbiti vinu kawoneka.’”
