Luke 15
1 And all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to Him, to hear Him,
Lishaka limu watoza kodi wavua pamuwera na wanavidoda wiziti kumpikinira Yesu,
2 and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying, “This One receives sinners, and eats with them.”
Wamafalisayu na wafunda wa Malagaliru wanjiti kung'ong'a, mumoyu mwawu, walonga, “Muntu ayu kuwashemera wanavidoda na ata kuliya pamuwera na womberi!”
3 And He spoke to them this allegory, saying,
Su Yesu kawagambira mfanu agu,
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?
“Yumu pakati penu pakawera na wakondolu miya na pagwerewa yumu kagamila, hagutendi ashi? Haguwaleki walii wakondolu malongu tisa na tisa kuntundu na kugenda kumsakula kondolu ulii yakagamiliti mpaka gumwoni.
5 And having found, he lays [it] on his shoulders rejoicing,
Pagumwona hagunemeleli nentu na hagumpapi mumakombi mwaku
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.
na kuuya nayu ukaya. Shakapanu pagusoka ukaya, haguwashemi waganja waku na wapakwegera pamuwera na kuwagambira, ‘Nana shereku shereku nentu toziya numwona kondolu gwangu yakagamiliti. Su tunemeleli pamuwera!’
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.
Ndo ntambu ira ayi, nukugambirani haiweri nemeru nentu kumpindi kwa yakatenda vidoda yumu pakaleka vidoda vyakatenditi kuliku wantu malongu tisa na tisa yawamfiriziya Mlungu, ndoweni yawalihola wahera vidoda vyakuleka.
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?
“Ama payiwera mdala yumu yakawera na magwala lilongu limu na ligwala limu paliyagamila, su hakatendi ashi? Hakawashi shikoloboyi, hakafyagili numba yakuwi na kusakula weri kila pahala mpaka kaliwoni.
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.
Handa pakayiwona kala, ndo hakawashemi waganja wakuwi na wapakwegera pamuwera na kuwagambira, ‘Nana nemeli nentu toziya mona mpiya yaiyagamiliti. Su tunemeleli pamuwera!’
10 So I say to you, joy comes before the messengers of God over one sinner converting.”
Nankuwagambira nakaka ndo hera hangu, wantumintumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu hawanemeleri toziya ya muntu yumu yakatenda vidoda pakaleka vidoda vyakatenditi.”
11 And He said, “A certain man had two sons,
Yesu kendereyiti kulonga, “Kwanaga muntu yumu yakaweriti na wana wawili wapalu.
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.
Muhasha kamgambiriti tati gwakuwi, ‘Tati gunupi vinu uhala wangu.’ Su muntu ulii kawagawira sawa wana wakuwi awili.
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;
Gapita ndiri mashaka gavuwa muhasha ulii kawuza uhala wakuwi woseri, shakapanu kawuka ukaya kagenda zakuwi na mpiya zakapatiti. Kagenditi isi ya kutali kweni aku su katumiyiti mpiya zilii vuluvulu.
14 and he having spent all, there came a mighty famine on that country, and himself began to be in want;
Kamaliriti kila shintu shakaweriti nashi. Su ilawira njala na kueneya muisi yoseri, na yomberi kaweriti kahera shintu.
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,
Su kagenditi kutenda lihengu kwa muntu yumu gwa isi ilii, mweni kamtuliti mulirambu lyakuwi kuwalolera wamtumbi.
16 and he was desirous to fill his belly from the husks that the pigs were eating, and no one was giving to him.
Kafiriti kuliya viboga vyawalekiti wamtumbi, toziya kwahera muntu yakamupiti shintu shakuliya.
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!
Upeleru kanjiti kulihola mumoyu na kutakula, ‘Wantumintumi wa tati gwangu waliya viboga mpaka waleka, pahala panu neni nankufuwa njala!
18 Having risen, I will go on to my father, and will say to him, Father, I sinned—to Heaven, and before you,
Hambuyi kwa tati gwangu na kulonga, Tati, ntenda vitendu vifaa ndiri kwa Mlungu na kwaku viraa.
19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired workers.
Neni nfaa ndiri kushemwa mwana gwaku, guntendi neni gambira yumu gwa wantumintumi waku.’
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;
Su kanjiti mwanja kuwuya ukaya kwa tati gwakuwi.” “Pakaweriti kankali kakutali kulawa ukaya, kumbiti tati gwakuwi kamwoniti kala, su moyu gwakuwi gumwoniliti lusungu, su kumtugira na kamkisikira mwana gwakuwi na kumnonera.
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.
Mwana ulii kamgambira tati gwakuwi, ‘Tati, neni numkosera Mlungu na gwenga viraa. Nfaa ndiri kunshema namwana gwaku.’
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;
Kumbiti tati gwakuwi kawashemiti wantumintumi wakuwi na kawagambira, ‘Kanongola! Mtoli nguwu ziherepa nentu mumvalisiyi na pete mvalisiyi mushyala na mumvalisiyi vilwatu mumagulu.
23 and having brought the fatted calf, kill [it], and having eaten, we may be merry,
Shakapanu mgendi mkamlikatuli ndama kaherepa tuliyi, na tunemeleli mumsambu!
24 because this son of mine was dead, and lived again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.
Toziya mwana gwangu kahowiti, kumbiti vinu kazyuka, kaweriti kagamila, kumbiti leru kawoneka.’ Su wanjiti kuvina msambu.
25 And his elder son was in a field, and as, coming, he drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing,
“Shipindi shilii mkulu gwakuwi kaweriti kankali keniwuyi kulirambu. Pakaweriti munjira pakwegera na ukaya kwakuwi kankuwuya, kapikaniriti zilaa shereku na ng'oma.
26 and having called near one of the young men, he was inquiring what these things might be,
Su kamshemiti yumu gwa wantumitumi na kamkosiya, ‘Kwana shishi pakaya panu?’
27 and he said to him, Your brother has arrived, and your father killed the fatted calf, because he received him back in health.
Ntumintumi ulii kamwankula, ‘Mlongu gwaku kawuya pakaya panu, su tati gwaku kamshinjira lindama likulukulu, toziya kamwona kankali mkomu.’
28 And he was angry, and would not go in, therefore his father, having come forth, was pleading him;
“Su muntemba mkulu ulii kakalariti nentu, kalemiti kwingira mnumba, su tati gwakuwi kalawiti kunja na kamgambira kingiri.
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;
Kumbiti yomberi kamwankula tati gwakuwi, ‘Guloli, mivinja yoseri ayi nukutendera lihengu gambira ntumintumi, na ng'enda ndiri shinyumi na lilagaliru lyaku. Gunupa shishi neni? Pota na kunupa mbuzi ntendi msambu pamuwera na waganja wangu!
30 but when your son—this one who devoured your living with prostitutes—came, you killed to him the fatted calf.
Kumbiti leru kiza mwana gwaku ayu yakatumiyiti ulunda waku woseri pamuwera na wandiyandiya, na pakawuyiti pakaya panu, gwenga gumshinjira ula ndama likulukulu!’
31 And he said to him, Child, you are always with me, and all my things are yours;
Tati gwakuwi kamwankula, ‘Mwana gwangu, gwenga gulikala pahala panu na neni mashaka goseri, vinu vintu vyoseri vyanwera navyi ndo vya gwenga.
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.”
Kumbiti tufiruwa tuvini msambu na kunemelera, toziya mlongu gwaku kahowiti, kumbiti vinu kazyuka, kaweriti kagamila, kumbiti vinu kawoneka.’”
