Luke 15
1 Then resorted vnto him all the Publicanes and sinners, to heare him.
Mme bakgethisi ba ba sa ikanyegeng le baleofi ba ne ba tla gantsi go reetsa dithero tsa ga Jesu,
2 Therefore the Pharises and Scribes murmured, saying, Hee receiueth sinners, and eateth with them.
mme mo ga tsosa dingongorego mo baeteledingpele ba tumelo ya Sejuta le bomaitseanape ba melao ya Sejuta ka gore o na a tsalane le baleofi ba ba ntseng jalo, ebile aa ja le bone!
3 Then spake hee this parable to them, saying,
Hong Jesu a dirisa setshwantsho se: “Fa o na le dinku di le lekgolo mme nngwe ya tsone ya bo e ya le naga, e timela a ga o ka ke wa tlogela tse di masome a ferabongwe le metso e fera bongwe wa latela e e timetseng go fitlhelela o e bona?
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?
5 And when he hath found it, he laieth it on his shoulders with ioye.
Mme o tlaa e baya mo magetleng o ya gae ka boitumelo.
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.
Ere fa o goroga o phuthe ditsala tsa gago le ba o agileng nabo go itumela le wena ka gore o bonye nku e e neng e timetse.
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.
“Go ntse fela jalo, legodimo le tlaa itumelela moleofi a le mongwe yo o sokologelang mo Modimong go na le ba ba masome a ferabongwe le metso e ferabongwe, ba ba neng ba sa timela!
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?
“Setshwantsho se sengwe ke se: Mosadi o na le diselefera di le lesome tsa madi mme a bo a latlhegelwa ke e le nngwe. A ga a ka ke a tshuba lobone go sekaseka mo dihukung tsa ntlo le go feela mo dikgokgotshwaneng le mo diphatlheng go fitlhelela a e bona.
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.
A mme ga a ka ke a bitsa ditsala tsa gagwe ba a agileng nabo go itumela nae?
10 Likewise I say vnto you, there is ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, for one sinner that conuerteth.
Fela jalo go na le boitumelo fa pele ga baengele ba Modimo fa moleofi a le mongwe a sokologa.” Go tshwantsha ntlha e ka botlalo, a ba bolelela polelo e:
11 He sayde moreouer, A certaine man had two sonnes.
“Monna o ne a na le bomorwawe ba le babedi.
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.
Ya re yo mmotlana a raya rraagwe a re, ‘Ke batla seabe sa boswa jwa gago gompieno, go na le go letela go fitlhelela o swa!’ Rraagwe a dumela go kgaoganyetsa bomorwawe ba babedi khumo ya gagwe.
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.
“E rile morago ga malatsi a se kae morwawe yo mmotlana a phutha dilwana tsa gagwe a etela kwa lefatsheng le le kgakala, koo a feta a senya madi a gagwe mo medirong le mo boakeng.
14 Nowe when hee had spent all, there arose a great dearth throughout that land, and he began to be in necessitie.
Mme ya re mo lobakeng lo madi a gagwe a neng a fedile ka lone, leuba, le legolo la wela lefatshe, mme a simolola go bolawa ke tlala.
15 Then hee went and claue to a citizen of that conntrey, and hee sent him to his farme, to feede swine.
A tshwenya morui mongwe wa lefatshe leo gore a mo hire go otla dikolobe tsa gagwe.
16 And hee would faine haue filled his bellie with the huskes, that the swine ate: but no man gaue them him.
Mosimane o ne a bolawa ke tlala mo a neng a bona le tsone dijo tsa dikolobe di mo siametse. Mme ga seka ga nna le ope yo o mo nayang sepe.
17 Then he came to him selfe, and said, Howe many hired seruaunts at my fathers haue bread ynough, and I die for hunger?
“E rile kwa morago a tlelwa ke tlhaloganyo, a ithaya a re, ‘Kana le bone tota banna ba ba hirilweng kwa gaetsho ba na le dijo tse di lekanyeng, di bo di sala, mme nna fano, ke bolawa ke tlala!
18 I wil rise and goe to my father, and say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heaue, and before thee,
Ke tlaa ya gae kwa go rre ke re, “Rra, ke leofetse legodimo le wena.”
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants.
Mme ga ke tlhole ke tshwanetse go bidiwa morwao. Tswee-tswee mma ke nne modiredi wa gago.’
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.
“Jalo a boela gae kwa go rraagwe. Mme e rile a sa le kgakala, rraagwe a mmona a tla, mme a mo tlhomogela pelo ka lorato a taboga a mo tlamparela a bo a mo atla.
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.
“Morwawe a mo raya a re, ‘Rra, ke leofetse legodimo le wena, mme ga ke na tshwanelo ya go bidiwa morwao—’
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,
Mme rraagwe a raya batlhanka a re, ‘Itlhaganeleng! Tlisang seaparo se se ntle mo tlung lo mo apese. Le mhitshana wa botlhokwa go o rwala mo monwaneng wa gagwe le ditlhako.
23 And bring the fat calfe, and kill him, and let vs eate, and be merie:
Mme lo bolaye kgongwana e e nonneng e re nang nayo mo sakeng. Re tshwanetse go dira mokete,
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.
gonne morwaake yo, o ne a sule mme o rudile. O ne a timetse mme o bonywe!’ Hong modiro wa simologa.
25 Nowe the elder brother was in the fielde, and when he came and drewe neere to the house, he heard melodie, and dauncing,
“Ka nako eo, morwawe yo mo tona o ne a dira mo tshimong, erile fa a boela gae a utlwa moopelo wa mmino o tswa mo tlung;
26 And called one of his seruaunts, and asked what those things meant.
mme a botsa mongwe wa batlhanka gore go diregang?
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.
“A mo raya a re, ‘Monnao o buile mme rrago o bolaile kgongwana e e nonneng o baakantse modiro o mogolo wa go itumelela go boa ga gagwe a sa bolaisega gope’.
28 Then he was angry, and would not goe in: therefore came his father out and entreated him.
“Mogolowe a shakgala thata a bo a se ka a tsena mo teng. Rraagwe a tswela kwa ntle a mo rapela,
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.
mme a fetola a re, ‘Mo dingwageng tse tsotlhe ke go diretse thata mme ga ke ise nke ke gane go dira sepe se o neng o re ke se dire; mme mo lobakeng loo lotlhe ga o ise o ke o nneye le fa e le potsane go dira modiro le ditsala tsa me.
30 But when this thy sonne was come, which hath deuoured thy good with harlots, thou hast for his sake killed the fat calfe.
Le fa go ntse jalo ngwana yo wa gago yo o boileng a sena go senya madi mo boakeng, o mo itumeletse ka go mo tlhabela kgongwana e e nonneng e re neng re na nayo mo sakeng’.
31 And he said vnto him, Sonne, thou art euer with me, and al that I haue, is thine.
“Mme rraagwe a mo raya a re, ‘Bona morwaaka yo o rategang, wena le nna re atamalane thata, sengwe le sengwe se ke nang naso ke sa gago.
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.
Mme go tshwanetse go dirwa modiro. Gonne ke monnao; yo o neng a sule mme o rudile, yo o neng a timetse mme o bonywe.’”
