Luke 15
1 Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him.
Loino boonse basimutelo abamwi basizibi bakalikuza kuzoswiilizya Jesu.
2 And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
Bloonse baFalisi abalembi bakatongooka chabo chabo, kabaamba kuti, “Ooyu mwaalumi ulatambula basizibi, alimwi ulalya ambabo.”
3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying:
Jesu wakabaambila chikozyanisyo eechi, wakati,
4 What man of you that hath an hundred sheep: and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which was lost, until he find it?
“Ngwani aakati kenu uunga ulaba aambelele zilimwaanda mpawo yomwe yasweekwa, aleke kusiya zili makumi musanu amakumi one alamusanu azine mulusaka, akuya kukuyanduula yomwe mane akayibone?
5 And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing:
Mpawo nayijana uyooyipika aamakuko akubotelwa
6 And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost?
Naaboola kumuunzi wiita benziinyina ambayakilene aabo, akubaambila kuti, 'Amubotelwe antoomwe andime, nkaambo ndayibona mbelele yangu yakasweekede.'
7 I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.
Ndiliikumwaambila kuti nikuba boobo, kuyooba lukondo kujulu aatala asizibi omwe wasanduka, kwiinda aabo balimakumi miusanu amakumi one alamusanu abane basandukide kale.
8 Or what woman having ten groats; if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?
Nakuti ngwani wachikayintu ulangodo zya siliva zilikumi, kuti kwasweeka yomwe, uunga ulaleka kumunika, kuyiila ng'anda akuyanduula loko mane akiijane?
9 And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost.
Nayijana ulayita beenzinyina ambayakilene aabo kaamba kuti, 'Amuboole tubotelwe nkaambo ndayibona nsiliva yandisweekede.'
10 So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.
Nikuba boobo ndikumwaambila kuti kuli kukondwa kunembo lyabangelo ba Leza aatala asizibi omwe uusanduka.”
11 And he said: A certain man had two sons:
Mpawo Jesu wakati, “Kwakali mwaalumi wakali aabana balombe babili,
12 And the younger of them said to his father: Father, give me the portion of substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his substance.
aawo mwana muniini wakati kuli wisi, “Ndeende, ndipe buvubi mumweelwe uulangene aandime.” Mpawo wakaaba buvubi aakati kabo.
13 And not many days after, the younger son, gathering all together, went abroad into a far country: and there wasted his substance, living riotously.
Kakutanayiknda mazuba miingi, mwana muniini wakabungania buvubi bwakwe wiinka aabo kunyika iilikule ooko wakakunyonyoona buvubi bwakwe mukupana bunjaka.
14 And after he had spent all, there came a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
Lino nakamaninsya zyoonse kwakaba nzala mpati munyika yoonse, mpawo wakatalika kubula.
15 And he went and cleaved to one of the citizens of that country. And he sent him into his farm to feed swine.
Wakayinka kuyolipeda kubelekela umwi wabantu bamuchisi eecho, wakakumutuma kusanina ngulube mumuunda wakwe.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him.
Wakalikunoonga wajana kukondwa naalya tukuli twakali kuligwa ngulube nkaambo taakwe wakalikumupa chakulya.
17 And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my father’s house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger?
Mpawo aawo mwana muniini ooyu nakaboola kumizeezo yakwe, wakati, 'Mbangane babelesi ba ndeende balikulya chakulya chizulila, mpawo me ndaano ndikufwa aanzala!
18 I will arise, and will go to my father, and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee:
Ndilanyampuka aano ndiye kuli ndeende ndikatedi, “Ndeende ndakabisizya julu anduwe.
19 I am not worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
Nsichikwe bulemu bwakwiitwa kuti mndimwana wako; ndichite kuti ndibe uumwi wanbabelesi bako.'”
20 And rising up he came to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and running to him fell upon his neck, and kissed him.
Mpawo mwana miniini ooyo wakazwa kunyika nkwaakabede waboola kuli wisi. Aawo naakachili kulele kule alimwi wisi wakamubona wabotelwa, walkachijaana, wakumumbungatila akumumyonta.
21 And the son said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, I am not now worthy to be called thy son.
Mwana wakati kuli nguwe, 'Ndeende, ndakabisizya julu anduwe, nsichikwe bulemu bwakwiitwa kuti ndili mwana wako.'
22 And the father said to his servants: Bring forth quickly the first robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
Wisi wakati kubabelesi bakwe, 'Mufwambaamne mwee te jansi bbotu kwiindilila, mumusasike, alimwi mubikke nweenwe kukuboko kwakwe, ansangu kumawulu aakwe.
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
Mpawo mweete mwana wan'gombe uneneede mumujaye. Atupobole tubotelwe!
24 Because this my son was dead, and is come to life again: was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Nkaambo mwana wangu wakalisweekede, lino waboneka.' Mpawo bakatalika kubotelwa
25 Now his elder son was in the field, and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing:
Lino mwana wakwe mupati wakachili kumuunda. Aawo naakaboola akusika afwiifwi amuunzi, wakamvwa miimbo akuzyana.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
Wakayita umwi mubelesi wabuzya kuti zyaambanzi eezi.
27 And he said to him: Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe.
Mubelesi wakamwaambila kuti, 'Mwanike wako waboola kumuunzi alimwi wuso wajaya mwana wang'ombe uuneneede nkaambo waboola kali muumi.'
28 And he was angry, and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat him.
Mwana mupati wakanyema alimwi taakanjila pe mukati, wisi wakazwa aanze, kuzo mukombelezya.
29 And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee, and I have never transgressed thy commandment, and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends:
Pesi mwana mupati wakasandula wisi wati, “Langa, eeyi minyaka myiingi yoonse ndakubelekela chabuzike, alimwi taakwe nindakatyola nuuba omwe mulawu wako, pesi taakwe nwakandipa mwana wampongo kuti ndibotelwe abeenzuma.
30 But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
Pesi mbaboola, ooyo wakakulya lubono lwako abasi bwaamu, wamujiila mwana wangombe uneneede.'
31 But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me, and all I have is thine.
Wisi wakamusandula kuti, “Mwanaangu ukkede koli aandime chiindi choonse, alimwi choonse changu nchichako.
32 But it was fit that we should make merry and be glad, for this thy brother was dead and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found.
Pesi chali chibotu kuti tubotelwe nkaambo mwanike wako ooyu wakalifwide; lino wapona; wakali sweekede alimwi waboneka.'”
