Luke 15
1 And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming near to him to hear him;
Bai batoza ushuru boti ni benge bene sambi baichile kwa Yesu ni kumpekania.
2 and the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This [man] receives sinners and eats with them.
Mafarisayo ni baandishi batinung'unika kababaya, mundu yoo hubakaribisha bene sambi ni lya nabo.”
3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying,
Yesu kabaya mfano wono kwabe, kabaya,
4 What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness and go after that which is lost, until he find 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 having found it, he lays it upon his own shoulders, rejoicing;
Ni ywewmbe maite mpatike umbeka mulipamba lyake ni pulaika.
6 and being come to the house, calls together the friends and the neighbours, saying to 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 I say unto you, that thus there shall be joy in heaven for one repenting sinner, [more] than for ninety and nine righteous who have no need of repentance.
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 having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek carefully till she find 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 having found it she calls together the friends and neighbours, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.
Ni paibona hubakema mbwiga kwaa yake majirani bake kuwabakia mpurahi pamope ni nee, kwa kuwa niipatike sarafu yango yaniobite.
10 Thus, I say unto you, there is joy before the angels of God for one repenting sinner.
Hata nyoo nindakuwabakiya ibile puraha nnonge ya malaika wa Nnongo kwaajili ya mwene sambi yumo tubu.”
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons;
Ni Yesu atibaya, “mundu yumo abile ni bana abele
12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give to me the share of the property that falls [to me]. And he divided to them what he was possessed of.
Yolo nchunu atikum'bakiya tate bake, tate unipei sehemu ya mali yango yoti kuirithi. Nga atibagana mali yake kati yabo.
13 And after not many days the younger son gathering all together went away into a country a long way off, and there dissipated his property, living in debauchery.
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 But when he had spent all there arose a violent famine throughout that country, and he began to be in want.
Naye pabweni ayomwile tumiya yoti njala kolo itiyingya pakilambo chelo nayembe atumbwile panga abi na uhitaji.
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.
Atiyenda ni kuajiri mwene kwa yumo wa raia wa kilambo chelo, ni yembe atikumpeleka kumng'unda wake lisha magobe.
16 And he longed to fill his belly with the husks which the swine were eating; and no one gave to him.
Ni atitamani kuishibisha kwa maakapi yabalile kwa sababu ntopo mundu ywampei kilebe chochoti cha lya.
17 And coming to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have abundance of bread, and I perish here by famine.
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 rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee;
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 thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
Nistahilli kwaa kemelwa mwana wako kae, unipange kati yumo wa atumwa bako.”
20 And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.
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 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.
“Tate nikosite kunani ya maunde ni nnonge ya minyo gako nistaili kwaa kemelwa mwana wako.'
22 But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in [it], and put a ring on his hand 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 and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
Boka po munileti ndama yolo yanonite nakumchinja uliye ni kupurai.
24 for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry.
Kwa kuwa mwana wango atiwaa naywembe abi hai. Ati oba nakwe atibonekana batumbwile shangilia.
25 And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming [up], he drew nigh to 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 And having called one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be.
Amkemite mtumishi yumo nakumlokiya makowe gano maana yake namani”
27 And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well.
Mtumishi akam'bakiya mnunako haichile ni tate bako atikumchinjia ndama yanenipe kwasababu atibuya salama,'
28 But he became angry and would not go in. And his father went out and besought him.
Mwana mpendo atikasirika akani jingiya nkati ni tate bake apitike panja kumpembeya.
29 But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry 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 thy son, who has devoured thy substance with harlots, is come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
Lakini paichile yono mwana wako watapakinye mali yako yoti pamope ni makahaba atikunchinjia ndama yanenipe.
31 But he said to him, Child, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.
Tate akabakiya,'mwana wango, wenga u pamope ni nenga kila machoba goti ni vyoti yanibile vyo vyako wenga.
32 But it was right to make merry and rejoice, because this thy brother was dead and has come to life again, and was lost and has been found.
Ila yapangite vyema kwitu kumpangiya sherehe ni purai, yono mbwiga wako atiwaa, nanambeambe abi nkoti, ni atioba ni ywembe apatikine.”
