Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
Bai batoza ushuru boti ni benge bene sambi baichile kwa Yesu ni kumpekania.
2 So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
Mafarisayo ni baandishi batinung'unika kababaya, mundu yoo hubakaribisha bene sambi ni lya nabo.”
3 Then Jesus told them this parable:
Yesu kabaya mfano wono kwabe, kabaya,
4 “What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
“Nyai kwinu, kati abi ni ngondolo mia jimo ni mei teo anobite yumo kati yabo, apala kuwaleka balo tisini na tisa mupongote, ni ayende kumpala yolo ywanobite mpaka kumbona?
5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
Ni ywewmbe maite mpatike umbeka mulipamba lyake ni pulaika.
6 comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
Paika kunyumba, ubakema mbwiga kwa yango ni jirani yake nakuwabakiya mupurahi pamope ni nee, kwa kuwa nimpatike ngondolo ywango ywaobite.'
7 In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent.
Nindakuwabakia nyonyonyo kupabaa ni puraha kumaunde kwaajili ya mwene sambi yumo yatubu, zaidi ya bene haki tisini na tisa babile ntopo hoha ya tubu.
8 Or what woman who has ten silver coins and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her house, and search carefully until she finds it?
Au kuna nnwawa gani ywabile ni sarafu komi za mbanje, payaobite ni sarafu jimo, hapa washa taa ni pyaya nyumba ni kuipala kwa bidii hadi kuipata?
9 And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’
Ni paibona hubakema mbwiga kwaa yake majirani bake kuwabakia mpurahi pamope ni nee, kwa kuwa niipatike sarafu yango yaniobite.
10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
Hata nyoo nindakuwabakiya ibile puraha nnonge ya malaika wa Nnongo kwaajili ya mwene sambi yumo tubu.”
11 Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
Ni Yesu atibaya, “mundu yumo abile ni bana abele
12 The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
Yolo nchunu atikum'bakiya tate bake, tate unipei sehemu ya mali yango yoti kuirithi. Nga atibagana mali yake kati yabo.
13 After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.
Machoba ganambone kwaa yolo nchunu atokusanya vyoti anavyomiliki naboka kilambo cha mbale, na kwoo atitapanya mbanje yake, kwa pema ilebe yaipalite kwaa, na tapanya mbanje yake kwa anasa,
14 After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
Naye pabweni ayomwile tumiya yoti njala kolo itiyingya pakilambo chelo nayembe atumbwile panga abi na uhitaji.
15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
Atiyenda ni kuajiri mwene kwa yumo wa raia wa kilambo chelo, ni yembe atikumpeleka kumng'unda wake lisha magobe.
16 He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
Ni atitamani kuishibisha kwa maakapi yabalile kwa sababu ntopo mundu ywampei kilebe chochoti cha lya.
17 Finally he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food? But here I am, starving to death!
Ila yolo mwana nchunu patambwile mwoyoni mwake, abaite ni atumishi alenga wa tate bango bana chakulya chanambone cha tosha ni nenga nibile pano, ni waa na njala!
18 I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
Nipala boka ni yenda kwa tate bango, ni umbakiya, “Tate nikosite kunani ya maunde ni nnongi ya minyo gako.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
Nistahilli kwaa kemelwa mwana wako kae, unipange kati yumo wa atumwa bako.”
20 So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still in the distance, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.
Ndipo atiboka ni yenda kwa tate bake, pabile angaliu palipite napatate bake amweni akiya ayei lubela ni kumkumbatiya ni kumnoniya. Yolo mwana atikum'bakiya,
21 The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
“Tate nikosite kunani ya maunde ni nnonge ya minyo gako nistaili kwaa kemelwa mwana wako.'
22 But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
Yolo tate atikuwabakiya atumishi bake,'mulileti upesi nganju ya ibile bora, mukamuwalike mujei ni pete mu'ingonji ni ilatu mumagolo.
23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
Boka po munileti ndama yolo yanonite nakumchinja uliye ni kupurai.
24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
Kwa kuwa mwana wango atiwaa naywembe abi hai. Ati oba nakwe atibonekana batumbwile shangilia.
25 Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
Bai yolo mwana wake mpendo abile kumngunda. Pabayowine ni karibia kunyumba ayowine malobe ya nyambo ni ng'anda.
26 So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
Amkemite mtumishi yumo nakumlokiya makowe gano maana yake namani”
27 ‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’
Mtumishi akam'bakiya mnunako haichile ni tate bako atikumchinjia ndama yanenipe kwasababu atibuya salama,'
28 The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
Mwana mpendo atikasirika akani jingiya nkati ni tate bake apitike panja kumpembeya.
29 But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
Ila atikuyangwa tate bake baya, “lola nenga nitikutumikiya miaka yanambone, wala nikosite kwaa amri yako, lakini unipei kwaa mwana mbui lenga niweche sherekea ni rafiki zango.
30 But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
Lakini paichile yono mwana wako watapakinye mali yako yoti pamope ni makahaba atikunchinjia ndama yanenipe.
31 ‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
Tate akabakiya,'mwana wango, wenga u pamope ni nenga kila machoba goti ni vyoti yanibile vyo vyako wenga.
32 But it was fitting to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
Ila yapangite vyema kwitu kumpangiya sherehe ni purai, yono mbwiga wako atiwaa, nanambeambe abi nkoti, ni atioba ni ywembe apatikine.”
