Luke 15
1 Then resorted vnto him all the Publicanes and sinners, to heare him.
Bafutisi mpako mpe bato ya masumu bapusanaki bango nyonso pene ya Yesu mpo na koyoka Ye.
2 Therefore the Pharises and Scribes murmured, saying, Hee receiueth sinners, and eateth with them.
Kasi Bafarizeo mpe balakisi ya Mobeko bazalaki koyimayima mpe koloba: — Moto oyo azali koyamba bato ya masumu mpe kolia mesa moko elongo na bango.
3 Then spake hee this parable to them, saying,
Bongo Yesu alobaki na bango lisese oyo:
4 What man of you hauing an hundreth sheepe, if hee lose one of them, doeth not leaue ninetie and nine in the wildernesse, and goe after that which is lost, vntill he finde it?
— Soki moko kati na bino azali na bameme nkama moko, bongo moko kati na yango ebungi; boni, akotika te bameme tuku libwa na libwa kati na esobe mpo na kokende koluka moko oyo ewuti kobunga kino amona yango?
5 And when he hath found it, he laieth it on his shoulders with ioye.
Mpe tango akomona yango, akotia yango na mapeka na ye, na esengo.
6 And when he commeth home, he calleth together his friendes and neighbours, saying vnto them, Reioyce with mee: for I haue founde my sheepe which was lost.
Bongo, tango kaka akokoma na ndako na ye, akobengisa balingami mpe baninga na ye, akoloba na bango: « Bosepela na ngai elongo, pamba te namoni meme na ngai, oyo ebungaki! »
7 I say vnto you, that likewise ioy shall be in heauen for one sinner that conuerteth, more then for ninetie and nine iust men, which neede none amendment of life.
Na nzela yango, nazali koloba na bino: esengo oyo ekozala kati na Likolo mpo na mosumuki moko kaka oyo abongoli motema, eleki esengo mpo na bato ya sembo tuku libwa na libwa oyo bazali na posa te ya kobongola mitema.
8 Either what woman hauing ten groates, if she lose one groate, doth not light a candle, and sweepe the house, and seeke diligently till shee finde it?
Soki mwasi azali na mbongo ya bibende zomi mpe abungisi moko kati na yango, boni, apelisaka mwinda te, akombaka ndako te mpo na koluka yango malamu kino amona yango?
9 And when shee hath found it, shee calleth her friendes, and neighbours, saying, Reioyce with me: for I haue found the groate which I had lost.
Bongo soki amoni yango, abengisaka balingami na ye elongo na baninga na ye, mpe alobaka na bango: « Bosepela na ngai elongo, pamba te namoni mbongo na ngai, oyo ebungaki! »
10 Likewise I say vnto you, there is ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, for one sinner that conuerteth.
Na nzela yango, nazali koloba na bino: ba-anjelu ya Nzambe basepelaka mpo na mosumuki moko oyo abongoli motema.
11 He sayde moreouer, A certaine man had two sonnes.
Yesu alobaki lisusu: — Mobali moko azalaki na bana mibali mibale.
12 And the yonger of them sayde to his father, Father, giue mee the portion of the goods that falleth to mee. So he deuided vnto them his substance.
Leki alobaki na tata na ye: « Tata, pesa ngai eteni na ngai ya libula. » Mpe tata akabolelaki bango biloko na ye.
13 So not many daies after, when the yonger sonne had gathered all together, hee tooke his iourney into a farre countrey, and there hee wasted his goods with riotous liuing.
Sima na mwa mikolo, leki azwaki biloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango, akendeki na mboka moko ya mosika. Kuna, asakanaki na bozwi na ye, abikaki bomoi ya mobulu.
14 Nowe when hee had spent all, there arose a great dearth throughout that land, and he began to be in necessitie.
Sima na ye kosakana na bozwi na ye nyonso, nzala makasi ekotaki kati na mboka yango mobimba, mpe akomaki kokelela.
15 Then hee went and claue to a citizen of that conntrey, and hee sent him to his farme, to feede swine.
Boye akendeki komikomisa lokola mosali epai ya moto moko ya mboka yango. Moto yango atindaki ye na bilanga na ye mpo na koleisa bangulu.
16 And hee would faine haue filled his bellie with the huskes, that the swine ate: but no man gaue them him.
Mwana alukaki ata kolia bilei ya bangulu, kasi moto ata moko te apesaki ye yango.
17 Then he came to him selfe, and said, Howe many hired seruaunts at my fathers haue bread ynough, and I die for hunger?
Bongo akomaki kokanisa na tina na bomoi na ye, alobaki: « Basali boni tata na ngai azwa na mosala mpe bazali kolia ndenge balingi, mpe biloko ya kolia eleki kutu ebele; kasi ngai nazali kokufa awa na nzala!
18 I wil rise and goe to my father, and say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heaue, and before thee,
Nazwi mokano ya kobima mpe kozonga epai ya tata na ngai; nakoloba na ye: ‹ Tata, nasali masumu liboso ya Nzambe mpe liboso na yo.
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants.
Nabongi lisusu te kobengama mwana na yo; zwa ngai lokola moko kati na basali na yo! › »
20 So hee arose and came to his father, and when hee was yet a great way off, his father sawe him, and had compassion, and ranne and fell on his necke, and kissed him.
Boye, abimaki mpe azongaki epai ya tata na ye. Wana azalaki nanu mosika, tata na ye amonaki ye, ayokelaki ye mawa mingi; apotaki mbangu mpo na kokutana na mwana na ye, amibwakaki na nzoto na ye mpe ayambaki ye.
21 And the sonne sayde vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen, and before thee, and am no more worthie to be called thy sonne.
Mwana alobaki na tata na ye: « Tata, nasali masumu liboso ya Nzambe mpe liboso na yo, nabongi lisusu te kobengama mwana na yo. »
22 Then the father said to his seruaunts, Bring foorth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feete,
Kasi tata alobaki na basali na ye: « Bomema na lombangu nzambala oyo eleki kitoko mpe bolatisa ye yango; bolatisa ye lopete, na mosapi, mpe basandale, na makolo na ye.
23 And bring the fat calfe, and kill him, and let vs eate, and be merie:
Boya na mwana ngombe ya mafuta mpe boboma yango; tolia mpe tosala feti,
24 For this my sonne was dead, and is aliue againe: and he was lost, but he is found. And they began to be merie.
pamba te mwana na ngai, oyo bozali komona, akufaki, kasi azongi lisusu na bomoi; abungaki, kasi amonani! » Boye babandaki feti na esengo makasi.
25 Nowe the elder brother was in the fielde, and when he came and drewe neere to the house, he heard melodie, and dauncing,
Na tango yango, kulutu na ye azalaki nanu kati na bilanga. Tango akomaki pene ya ndako, ayokaki miziki mpe makelele ya mabina.
26 And called one of his seruaunts, and asked what those things meant.
Boye abengaki moko kati na basali mpe atunaki ye makambo oyo ezali koleka.
27 And hee sayde vnto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatte calfe, because he hath receiued him safe and sound.
Mosali azongisaki: « Ndeko na yo azongi! Tata na yo abomi mwana ngombe ya mafuta, pamba te amoni ye nzoto malamu mpe nzoto kolongono. »
28 Then he was angry, and would not goe in: therefore came his father out and entreated him.
Kulutu asilikaki makasi mpe aboyaki kokota. Boye tata na ye abimaki mpe abondelaki ye.
29 But he answered and said to his father, Loe, these many yeeres haue I done thee seruice, neither brake I at any time thy commadement, and yet thou neuer gauest mee a kidde that I might make merie with my friends.
Kasi azongiselaki tata na ye: « Tala! Mibu nyonso oyo nazalaki kosalela yo lokola mowumbu, natikalaki koboya te kotosa mitindo na yo. Nzokande, otikala nanu kopesa ngai te ata mwana ntaba mpo ete nasepela elongo na balingami na ngai.
30 But when this thy sonne was come, which hath deuoured thy good with harlots, thou hast for his sake killed the fat calfe.
Kasi tango mwana na yo, oyo ya mobali azongi na ndako, ye oyo asili kosakana na biloko na yo, na mobulu elongo na basi ya ndumba, obomi mwana ngombe ya mafuta mpo na ye! »
31 And he said vnto him, Sonne, thou art euer with me, and al that I haue, is thine.
Tata azongiselaki ye: « Mwana na ngai, ozalaka elongo na ngai tango nyonso, mpe biloko na ngai nyonso ezali ya yo.
32 It was meete that we shoulde make merie, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is aliue againe: and hee was lost, but he is found.
Kasi tosengelaki kaka kosala feti mpe kosepela, pamba te ndeko na yo, oyo ozali komona, akufaki, kasi azongi lisusu na bomoi; abungaki, kasi amonani! »
