Luke 15
1 Tax collectors and other “sinners” often used to come and listen to Jesus.
Awa neehangulya uushulu wehi nawa niangiza nianyamilandu aazile kung'wa Yesu kumutegeelya
2 As a result the Pharisees and the religious teachers complained, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
awa neandeka ikamulongela ikalunga “Umuntu uyu weakalibisha enyamilandu hangi welya neenso.”
3 So Jesus told them this story as an illustration.
U Yesu wikatambula mpyani eye kung'wao, nukulunga
4 “Imagine a man who had a hundred sheep lost one of them. Wouldn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture, and search for the one that's lost until he finds it?
Nyenyu kitanyu, angeze ukete nkolo mia moja angawalimigwe neng'wi ao, shanga ukualeka awa netisini na tisa, alongole kumeduma eye nelimie wameone?
5 When he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders.
Nung'wenso anga wamelije wemekenka mumaega akwe nukiloelya.
6 Once he gets home, he calls his friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Come and celebrate with me! I've found my lost sheep!’
Anga wapike munyumba, wiitanga eahumba auyanianyakisale akwe nukuaila iloelyi palung'wi nune kunsoko namepata enkolo ane nazelimie.
7 I tell you that there's more joy in heaven over a sinner that repents than over ninety-nine good people who don't need to repent.
Kumuila uu, uu, ikutula wiloelyo ukulu kilunde kunso umunyamilandu ung'wi nutubile.
8 Imagine a woman who has ten silver coins, and loses one of them. Wouldn't she light a lamp and sweep the house, carefully searching until she finds it?
Ang'wi ukole musunguke nukete sarafu ikumi niyahela, anga walimiligwe nesarafu eng'we, shanga ukakilane ntala nukupyagula munyumba nukumiduma kwangulu mpaka wamelije?
9 When she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Come and celebrate with me! I've found the silver coin that I lost.’
Angawamione weitanga eahumba ekwe neanyakisale akwe nukuaila iloelyi palung'wi nunene kunsoko namilija hangi esarafu ane eye naelimiie.
10 I tell you there is joy in the presence of God's angels over one sinner that repents.
Kuite kumuila, ukole wiloelyi ntongeela amalaika ang'wi Tunda, kunsoko amunyamilandu ung'wi nukutubu.”
11 Once there was a man who had two sons,” Jesus explained.
Nu Yesu akaaila, muntu ung'wi aukete ana abiile.
12 “The younger one told his father, ‘Father, give me my inheritance now.’ So the man divided his property between them.
Uyu numunino wikamuila tatakwe, Tata mpe une isalo lane nilengwie kusala. Ite wikaagawila insao yakwe, kati ao.
13 A few days later the younger son packed up what he had and left for a distant country. Here he wasted all his money living a reckless life.
Nsiku singa yedu uyu numunino wekilingila ehi naukete akalongola kesale kakule, nukung'wenso wekasapatilya impia yakwe nukuguli maintu nesingutakile, nukusapatilya impia yakwe kwa usambo.
14 After he'd spent everything, the country was hit by a severe famine and he was starving.
Nung'wenso naukondilye kitumila ehi enzala nkulu ekingila mihe nanso, nung'wenso akatula lompa.
15 So he went and took a job with one of the farmers there who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
Akalongola ung'wenso nukisalisa nukutula ung'wiao mihe nanso, nung'wenso wekamutala kumugunda wakwe kulesa ingulue.
16 He was so hungry that he would have eaten even the pig food, but no one gave him anything.
Wikatula ukete nsula akilesa emaganda naeikulya ingulue, kunsoko aetile anga muntu naumupee kintu nekakulya.
17 When he came to his senses, he said to himself, ‘All of my father's workers have more than enough to eat—why am I dying from hunger here?
Sunga uyu ung'wana naukimbule munkolo akwe, wikalunga atung'wa anga neang'wa tatane akete indya yedu ikondile unene nkole apa, kusha nanzala?
18 I'm going home to my father! I'll tell him, Father, I've sinned against heaven and against you.
Kulutya nongole kung'wa tatane, nekina, “Tata natumula migulya kilunde nukuntongeela amiho ako.
19 I'm no longer worthy to be called your son. Please treat me as one of your hired workers.’
Shainonee kitangwa neng'wako hange, ntende anga ning'wi wao watugwa ako.”
20 So he left and went home to his father. Even though he was still far away in the distance, his father saw him coming, and his heart went out to his son. The father ran to his son, hugging and kissing him.
Uu wekahega wikalongola kung'wa tata akwe. Aekele ukole kule utata akwe wikamuonela ukia wikamumankila nukumukumbasela nukumulungila.
21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I've sinned against heaven and against you. I'm no longer worthy to be called your son.’
Ung'wana nuanso wekamuila, “tata natumula migulya kilunde nukuntongela amiho ako singainonee nitangwe ning'wako.”
22 But the father told his servants, ‘Quick—bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
Utata akwe wikaaela atugwa akwe “kayi leti ung'wenda uyo numuza, mukumbi mumutugale ipete kushala niilatu kumegulu.
23 Bring the calf we've been fattening and kill it. Let's have a feast to celebrate
Hange muleti ung'wang'ombe uyu numugenu mumusinze kulye kiloelye.
24 because this is my son who was dead, but who has returned alive; he was lost but now he's found.’ So they started celebrating.
Kunsoko ung'wane waioka ukole mupanga. Aulimie nung'wenso wigela ikandya kilumbilya.
25 Now the older son was working out in the fields. As he walked towards the house, he heard music and dancing.
Ingi ung'wana numukulu aukole kumugunda naupembilye wikahumbela pito wikija nduli ya nyemboneakiginsa.
26 So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
Wikitanga mutugwa ung'wi wikamukolya imakani aya endogoelyo ntuni?
27 ‘Your brother is back,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he's come home safe and sound.’
Umutugwa wikamuela umunino ako waza nutata ako wamusinzila ung'wang'ombe numuginu kunsoko wasuka mupanga.”
28 The brother became angry. He refused to go in. So his father came out to plead with him.
Ung'wana numukulu wikabepelwa wikahita kingila munyumba nutataakwe wikapuma kunzi kumupepelya.
29 He told his father, ‘Look, all these years I've served you, and never disobeyed you, but you never once gave me even a young goat so I could have a party with my friends.
Sunga wikasusha kung'wa tatakwe nukulunga, “Goza unene nukitumie myaka edu, hange nkele ntumuile ilago lako, kuite ukele kumpa ung'wambuli nihume kiloelya neahumba eane.
30 Now this son of yours comes back, having spent your money on prostitutes, and you kill the fattened calf for him!’
Kuite nazuzile ung'wako uyu naewiginseye insao yako yehi palung'wi neasambo wamusenzila ung'ombe uyu numugenu.
31 ‘Son,’ the father replied, ‘you are always here with me. Everything I have is yours.
Utata wikamuila, “Ng'waane uewe ukole palung'wi nunene mahiku ehi hange ehi nenkete une ako.
32 But we should be happy and celebrate! This is your brother who was dead, but who has returned alive; he was lost but now he's found!’”
Inge aaukole iza kitaitu kitume sherehe nukiloelya, umulunako aewakule, nitungo ile, ukole mupanga, aewalimie wigela.
