Luke 15
1 And all the publicans and the sinners were drawing near to him, to hear him.
Lishaka limu watoza kodi wavua pamuwera na wanavidoda wiziti kumpikinira Yesu,
2 And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth 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 parable, saying,
Su Yesu kawagambira mfanu agu,
4 What man of you having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth 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 when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Pagumwona hagunemeleli nentu na hagumpapi mumakombi mwaku
6 And when he hath come home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.
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 in like manner there will be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of repentance.
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 pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search carefully till she findeth it?
“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 when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which 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 I say to you, that thus there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Nankuwagambira nakaka ndo hera hangu, wantumintumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu hawanemeleri toziya ya muntu yumu yakatenda vidoda pakaleka vidoda vyakatenditi.”
11 He said also, 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 his father, Father, give me the portion of the property that falleth to me. And he divided to them his living.
Muhasha kamgambiriti tati gwakuwi, ‘Tati gunupi vinu uhala wangu.’ Su muntu ulii kawagawira sawa wana wakuwi awili.
13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, and went abroad into a far country; and there wasted his substance in riotous living.
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 when he had spent all, there arose a great famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
Kamaliriti kila shintu shakaweriti nashi. Su ilawira njala na kueneya muisi yoseri, na yomberi kaweriti kahera shintu.
15 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Su kagenditi kutenda lihengu kwa muntu yumu gwa isi ilii, mweni kamtuliti mulirambu lyakuwi kuwalolera wamtumbi.
16 And he longed to fill himself with the husks that the swine ate; and no one gave to him.
Kafiriti kuliya viboga vyawalekiti wamtumbi, toziya kwahera muntu yakamupiti shintu shakuliya.
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 here with hunger!
Upeleru kanjiti kulihola mumoyu na kutakula, ‘Wantumintumi wa tati gwangu waliya viboga mpaka waleka, pahala panu neni nankufuwa njala!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before thee;
Hambuyi kwa tati gwangu na kulonga, Tati, ntenda vitendu vifaa ndiri kwa Mlungu na kwaku viraa.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants.
Neni nfaa ndiri kushemwa mwana gwaku, guntendi neni gambira yumu gwa wantumintumi waku.’
20 And he arose, and went to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran and 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 have sinned against Heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.
Mwana ulii kamgambira tati gwakuwi, ‘Tati, neni numkosera Mlungu na gwenga viraa. Nfaa ndiri kunshema namwana gwaku.’
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his 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 bring the fatted calf; kill it, and let us eat and make merry.
Shakapanu mgendi mkamlikatuli ndama kaherepa tuliyi, na tunemeleli mumsambu!
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to make merry.
Toziya mwana gwangu kahowiti, kumbiti vinu kazyuka, kaweriti kagamila, kumbiti leru kawoneka.’ Su wanjiti kuvina msambu.
25 Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came and 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 calling one of the servants, he inquired what these things meant.
Su kamshemiti yumu gwa wantumitumi na kamkosiya, ‘Kwana shishi pakaya panu?’
27 And he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
Ntumintumi ulii kamwankula, ‘Mlongu gwaku kawuya pakaya panu, su tati gwaku kamshinjira lindama likulukulu, toziya kamwona kankali mkomu.’
28 But he was angry, and would not go in; and his father came out, and entreated him.
“Su muntemba mkulu ulii kakalariti nentu, kalemiti kwingira mnumba, su tati gwakuwi kalawiti kunja na kamgambira kingiri.
29 And he answering said to his father, Lo! for so many years have I served thee, and never transgressed thy command; and yet to me thou never gavest 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 as soon as this thy son came, who devoured thy living with harlots, thou didst kill for 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, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
Tati gwakuwi kamwankula, ‘Mwana gwangu, gwenga gulikala pahala panu na neni mashaka goseri, vinu vintu vyoseri vyanwera navyi ndo vya gwenga.
32 It was meet that we should make merry and be glad; for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.
Kumbiti tufiruwa tuvini msambu na kunemelera, toziya mlongu gwaku kahowiti, kumbiti vinu kazyuka, kaweriti kagamila, kumbiti vinu kawoneka.’”
