< Luke 15 >

1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
Bai batoza ushuru boti ni benge bene sambi baichile kwa Yesu ni kumpekania.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
Mafarisayo ni baandishi batinung'unika kababaya, mundu yoo hubakaribisha bene sambi ni lya nabo.”
3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
Yesu kabaya mfano wono kwabe, kabaya,
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth 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 when he hath found [it], he layeth [it] on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Ni ywewmbe maite mpatike umbeka mulipamba lyake ni pulaika.
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together [his] friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
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 likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no 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 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently 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 when she hath found [it], she calleth [her] friends and [her] neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
Ni paibona hubakema mbwiga kwaa yake majirani bake kuwabakia mpurahi pamope ni nee, kwa kuwa niipatike sarafu yango yaniobite.
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
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 me the portion of goods that falleth [to me]. And he divided unto them [his] living.
Yolo nchunu atikum'bakiya tate bake, tate unipei sehemu ya mali yango yoti kuirithi. Nga atibagana mali yake kati yabo.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
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 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; 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 a citizen 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 would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
Ni atitamani kuishibisha kwa maakapi yabalile kwa sababu ntopo mundu ywampei kilebe chochoti cha lya.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
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 arise and go to my father, and will say unto 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 And am no more 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 arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
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 unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more 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 servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put [it] on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes 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 hither the fatted calf, and kill [it]; and let us eat, and be merry:
Boka po munileti ndama yolo yanonite nakumchinja uliye ni kupurai.
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Kwa kuwa mwana wango atiwaa naywembe abi hai. Ati oba nakwe atibonekana batumbwile shangilia.
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
Bai yolo mwana wake mpendo abile kumngunda. Pabayowine ni karibia kunyumba ayowine malobe ya nyambo ni ng'anda.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
Amkemite mtumishi yumo nakumlokiya makowe gano maana yake namani”
27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
Mtumishi akam'bakiya mnunako haichile ni tate bako atikumchinjia ndama yanenipe kwasababu atibuya salama,'
28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
Mwana mpendo atikasirika akani jingiya nkati ni tate bake apitike panja kumpembeya.
29 And he answering said to [his] father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me 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 as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
Lakini paichile yono mwana wako watapakinye mali yako yoti pamope ni makahaba atikunchinjia ndama yanenipe.
31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
Tate akabakiya,'mwana wango, wenga u pamope ni nenga kila machoba goti ni vyoti yanibile vyo vyako wenga.
32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
Ila yapangite vyema kwitu kumpangiya sherehe ni purai, yono mbwiga wako atiwaa, nanambeambe abi nkoti, ni atioba ni ywembe apatikine.”
