Luke 15
1 Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him.
Ligono limonga vatola kodi na vevambudila Chapanga vamahele vahambili kumuyuwanila Yesu.
2 And both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
Vafalisayu na vawula va malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa vakatumbula kung'ung'uta, “Mumlola mundu mwenuyu, akuvakemela vandu vevambudila Chapanga na kavili ilya nawu!”
3 And he spake unto them this parable, saying,
Yesu akavajovela luhumu ulu,
4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
“Ngati mmonga winu avi na mambelele, miya yimonga na akamanya kuvya mmonga pagati yavi ayagili, yati ikita kyani? Yati akugaleka mambelele tisini na tisa gala kulugangatu na kuhamba kulonda yila yeyiyagili mbaka ampatayi.
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Ngati amuwona yati akuyigega mumavega kwa luheku.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and his neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.
Peihika panyumba, Yati akuvakemela vamukozi vaki na veitama nawu papipi na kuvajovela, ‘Tivyai na luheku pamonga na nene ndava niliweni limbelele langu lelayagili.’
7 I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, [more] than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance.
Mewawa nikuvajovela, yati kwivya na luheku kunani kwa Chapanga, mundu mmonga mweakumbudila Chapanga, paileka kubuda, kuliku vandu tisini na tisa vabwina na viganikwa lepi kumuwuyila Chapanga.”
8 Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?
“Amala mdala yoki mweavi na mashonga kumi, limonga likamyaga, yati ikita wuli? Nakupambika hahi, na kutyanyila nyumba na kuilonda neju mbaka ayilola?
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost.
Akamala kuipata, akuvakemela vankozi vaki na veitama nawu papipi na kuvajovela, ‘Mvya na luheku pamonga na nene muni nilipatili lishonga langu lelayagili!’
10 Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Mewawa nikuvajovela, ndi chavivya na luheku vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga, ndava ya mundu mmonga mweambudili Chapanga, paileka kubudila Chapanga.”
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Yesu akayendelela kujova. Kwavili na mundu mmonga mweavi na vana vasongolo vavili.
12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of [thy] substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
Mdebe yula akamjovela dadi waki, Dadi, nipelayi uhali wa vindu vyeviganikiwa kupewa, Dadi waki akavagavanisila vindu vyaki.
13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living.
Gapitili lepi Magono gamahele, mwana mdebe yula akagulisa vindu vyaki vyoha, na kuwuka na mashonga geapewili, akahamba kumulima wa kutali, kwenuko akazipomondana kwa mambu ga ukemi mashonga gala.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
Peamalili kila chindu cheavili nachu, ndi yikahumila njala yivaha pamulima wenuwo na mwene akatumbula kung'ahika.
15 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Akahamba kwa mkolonjinji mmonga, wa mulima wenuwo na kuyupa lihengu, mwene akampela lihengu la kudima maguluvi kumgunda waki.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
Anogili kulya chakulya cha maguluvi gala, nambu kawaka mundu mweampeli chindu cha kulya.
17 But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger!
Mumbele luhala lwamuyili akajova mumtima waki. Kuvi na vana lihengu, valinga kwa Dadi wangu, vevilya na kusigalisa chakulya na nene nifwa penapa na njala!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight:
Yati niwuya kwa dadi wangu na kumjovela, Dadi, nimbudili Chapanga na nikubudili veve mewa.
19 I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
Niganikiwa lepi kavili kukemelewa, mwana waku, unikita ngati mmonga wa vana lihengu vaku.
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Ndi akatumbula lugendu kuwuya kwa dadi waki. “Mwene peavili cha kutali, dadi waki amuweni, kwa mtima wa lipyana amjumbalili na kumjambusa cha uganu.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son.
Mwana yula akamjovela, ‘Dadi, nimbudili Chapanga, na nikubudili veve mewa. Nene niganikiwa lepi kavili kukemelewa mwana waku.’
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
Nambu dadi waki akavajovela vanalihengu vaki, ‘Kanyata!’ Muleta nyula yabwina mumuwalika. Mumuwalika na pete pamonga na champali!
23 and bring the fatted calf, [and] kill it, and let us eat, and make merry:
Mukatola mpapakasi wa mweakulupi mukahinja, tilyayi na kuselebuka!
24 for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Ndava muni mwana vangu uyu kwa nene avi ngati afwili, nambu hinu akona mumi, ayagili hinu awonikini. Vakatumbula kuselebuka.”
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
“Lukumbi lwenulo muhaja waki avi akona kumgunda. Ndi peawuyayi kuhegelela panyumba, akayuwana vilulu na vandu vikina ng'oma.
26 And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might be.
Akamkemela mmonga wa mtumisi kumkota, ‘Chivii kyani kwenuko?’
27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
Mtumisi yula akayangula, ‘Mlongo waku awuyili kunyumba, na dadi waku amuhinjili mpapakasi mweakulupili, muni ampatili akona mumi.’”
28 But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father came out, and entreated him.
“Nambu mvaha yula akavya na ligoga na kubela kuyingila mugati. Ndi dadi waki akahuma kuvala na kumuyupa neju ayingila mugati.
29 But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine; and [yet] thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
Nambu mwene akamyangula dadi waki, ‘Lola, Nikuhengili mahengu Miyaka yoha iyi ngati mvanda changabela malagizu gaku hati padebe. Unipeli kyani? Unipeli lepi hati kamene kadebe na nene nganiselebwiki na vankozi vangu.
30 but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf.
Nambu mwana waku uyu mwepomondini mashonga gaku pamonga na vakemi, peabweli umuhinji mpapakasi mweakulupili!’
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.
Dadi waki akamyangula, ‘Mwana vangu, veve uvi pamonga na nene magono goha na vindu vyoha vyenivi navyu vyaku.
32 But it was meet to make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive [again]; and [was] lost, and is found.
Nambu yatiganili kukita mselebuko na luheku ndava mlongo waku mweavi ngati afwili, hinu akona mumi, mweayagili nambu hinu awonikini.’”
