Luke 15
1 And all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to Him, to hear Him,
Linu vatelisi vonse ni vamwi vaezalivi vavakezite kwa Jesu kukuteka kwali.
2 and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying, “This One receives sinners, and eats with them.”
vonse vafalisi ni vañoli vava kuñuñu, nivati, “Uzu mukwame u tambula vaezalivi, mi mane ulya navo.”
3 And He spoke to them this allegory, saying,
Jesus avawambi iyi inguli kuvali, nati,
4 “What man of you having one hundred sheep, and having lost one out of them, does not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go on after the lost one, until he may find it?
“Njeni kwenu, haiva wina imberere zina makumi ekumi imi yonke izova, kete usiye imberere zina makumi akwana iyanza ni makumi one kuvika zikwana iyanza ni zone mwinkanda, nikwichilila ya zova haisi hokayiwana?
5 And having found, he lays [it] on his shoulders rejoicing,
Linu cwale hayiwana, u yi kulika hamaheta ni kusanga.
6 and having come into the house, he calls together the friends and the neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep—the lost one.
Hakeza kwi nzuvo, usumpa valikani ni niva vambane nivo, nati kuvali, musange nime, nakawana imberere se izovete.'
7 I say to you that [more] joy will be in Heaven over one sinner converting, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of conversion.
Niwamba kwenu nihakuva vulyo, mukuve nikusanga mwi ulu nihaiva muezalivi yenke halitekula, kuhita vantu vena makumi akwana iyanza ni one kuvika vakwana iyanza ni vone vasiyeme vasa lili kulitekula.
8 Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she may lose one drachma, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully until she may find?
Kapa zuna mwanakazi yavena muwayawaya we silivela i kwana ikumi, kuti azovelwe hateni yonke, kete a munike i lambi, kufiyela inzuvo, kungana kavutali kutwala chawana muwayawaya.
9 And having found, she calls together the female friends and the neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I found the drachma that I lost.
Mi linu hauwana, u sumpa balikani ni vekala he mbali yakwe, nati, musange name, nawana muwayawaya wangu se uzovete.
10 So I say to you, joy comes before the messengers of God over one sinner converting.”
nihakuba vulyo, niwamba kwenu, kwina kusanga mukuva kwa mangeloi e Reeza muezalivi yenke ha litekula.
11 And He said, “A certain man had two sons,
Linu Jesu chati, mukwame zumwi avena vanaswisu vovele,
12 and the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of the substance falling to [me], and he divided to them the living.
mi wachinini cha wambila isi, 'Ita, munihe chanda cha chifumu chiwila kwangu,' chava kauhanyeza zibya zakwe.
13 And not many days after, having gathered all together, the younger son went abroad to a far country, and there he scattered his substance, living riotously;
Kena kuvahiti mazuba mangi, wachinini cha kunganya zibya zakwe zonse hamwina zavayoli ni kuya kwinkanda imwi kule, mi uko avaka sinyi mashelinyi akwe, cha kaula zintu zisena itunso, avashinyi mashelenyi akwe muzintu zenkanda.
14 and he having spent all, there came a mighty famine on that country, and himself began to be in want;
Linu hanu hashinya zintu zonse, inzala ikando ibatasezi inkanda yonse, mi chava ni ntakazo.
15 and having gone on, he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into the fields to feed pigs,
Cha yenda ni ku kaseveza ku zumwi yava kuhala mweyo inkanda, yava mutumi kuluwa ku kaha ziguluve zilyo.
16 and he was desirous to fill his belly from the husks that the pigs were eating, and no one was giving to him.
Mi navatavi kukalya zilyo ziva kuliwa ziguluve kakuti kakwina yava kumuha zilyo.
17 And having come to himself, he said, How many hired workers of my father have a superabundance of bread, and I am perishing here with hunger!
Kono mwan'a swisu wa munini ha ka volelwa ingana, cha wamba, vongayi kuvahikana vaseveza kuva ndanda vena zilyo zingi luli, mi nina kunu, nini fwa inzala!
18 Having risen, I will go on to my father, and will say to him, Father, I sinned—to Heaven, and before you,
Munizwe kunu mi ni yende kuva ndanda, mi mu ni kawambe kuvali, “Ita, ni bafosekezi iwulu, ni mu menso enu.
19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired workers.
Kaniswaneli kusumpwa kuti ni mwanenu, mu ni pange feela nibe ni muhikana wenu.
20 And having risen, he went to his own father, and he being yet far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having ran he fell on his neck and kissed him;
Cwale mwan'a swisu wamu nini cha katuka, ni kukeza mubusu bwe isi, ha ba kusina kule, isi cha mu vona, mi chali zuwa masisi, mi cha mutilila ni ku mutula manza ni ku muchunchuna.
21 and the son said to him, Father, I sinned—to Heaven, and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son.
mwan'a swisu chati kwali, Ita, ni vafosekezi muvuso weulu ni ha menso enu. Ka ni swaneli kuti ni sumpwe kuti ni mwana nenu.
22 And the father said to his servants, Bring forth the foremost robe, and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and sandals for the feet;
Isi chati kuva hikana vakwe, 'Mulete kapilipili inguvo indende indotu, mu mu zwatike, mi mu mu zwatike iseka kumunwe, mu mu zwatike ni nsangu kuma tende.
23 and having brought the fatted calf, kill [it], and having eaten, we may be merry,
Linu mulete inamani inunite twi ihaye. Tu lye mukiti!
24 because this son of mine was dead, and lived again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.
Kakuti mwanangu wa mususwi ava fwile. mi hanu u hala, ava zovete, hanu cha wanika. mi chi va sangwa.
25 And his elder son was in a field, and as, coming, he drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing,
Linu mwana swisu wa mu kulwana avena kuluwa, ha sika hafuhi ni munzi, ava zuwi inzimbo nikuzana,
26 and having called near one of the young men, he was inquiring what these things might be,
Cha sumpa zumwi wa va hikana ni ku muvuza kuti izi zintu zi wola kuva chinzi.
27 and he said to him, Your brother has arrived, and your father killed the fatted calf, because he received him back in health.
Muhikana cha mu wambila, mwancako weza mi veso vamwi haila inkomwana inunite, kakuti wa kavola na liketete.
28 And he was angry, and would not go in, therefore his father, having come forth, was pleading him;
Mwan'a swisu wa mukulwana ava vengi, mi kana avayendi mukati, mi vesi va vakezi hanze, ni kwiza ku ku mu kombelela,
29 and he answering said to the father, Behold, so many years I serve you, and never did I transgress your command, and you never gave to me a kid that I might make merry with my friends;
Kona che tava isi chati, vone, zonse izi zilimo zi ni va kusevelezi, mi kena ni vacholi mulao wako, mi nahanu kowini ku niha ni haiva kampene kanini kuti nilitavise ni valikani vangu.
30 but when your son—this one who devoured your living with prostitutes—came, you killed to him the fatted calf.
Kono mwanako heza, ya vaali chifumu ni vanakazi va mahule, u va mwi hayili inkomwana inunite.
31 And he said to him, Child, you are always with me, and all my things are yours;
Vesi chiva wamba kwali, 'Mwanangu, wina name inako yonse, mi chonse cheli changu nji chako,
32 but to be merry, and to be glad, it was necessary, because this your brother was dead, and lived again, he was lost, and was found.”
Kono ni kwava hande kuti tusange ni kutava, kakuti mwancako ava fwile mi hanu chahala; ava zovete, mi hanu cha wanika.
