Luke 15
1 But all the tax-collectors and the sinners were, unto him, drawing near, to be hearkening unto him;
Loino boonse basimutelo abamwi basizibi bakalikuza kuzoswiilizya Jesu.
2 and both the Pharisees and the Scribes were murmuring, saying, This man, unto sinners, giveth welcome, and eateth with them.
Bloonse baFalisi abalembi bakatongooka chabo chabo, kabaamba kuti, “Ooyu mwaalumi ulatambula basizibi, alimwi ulalya ambabo.”
3 And he spake unto them this parable, saying—
Jesu wakabaambila chikozyanisyo eechi, wakati,
4 What man from among you, having a hundred sheep, and losing, from among them, one, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go his way after the lost one, until he find it?
“Ngwani aakati kenu uunga ulaba aambelele zilimwaanda mpawo yomwe yasweekwa, aleke kusiya zili makumi musanu amakumi one alamusanu azine mulusaka, akuya kukuyanduula yomwe mane akayibone?
5 And, finding it, he layeth it upon his shoulders, rejoicing;
Mpawo nayijana uyooyipika aamakuko akubotelwa
6 and, coming unto his house, calleth together the friends and the neighbours, saying unto them—Rejoice with me! because I have found my sheep that was lost!
Naaboola kumuunzi wiita benziinyina ambayakilene aabo, akubaambila kuti, 'Amubotelwe antoomwe andime, nkaambo ndayibona mbelele yangu yakasweekede.'
7 I say unto you—Thus, joy in heaven, will there be, over one sinner repenting, rather than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who indeed have, no need, of repentance.
Ndiliikumwaambila kuti nikuba boobo, kuyooba lukondo kujulu aatala asizibi omwe wasanduka, kwiinda aabo balimakumi miusanu amakumi one alamusanu abane basandukide kale.
8 Or, what woman, having, ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully, until she find it?
Nakuti ngwani wachikayintu ulangodo zya siliva zilikumi, kuti kwasweeka yomwe, uunga ulaleka kumunika, kuyiila ng'anda akuyanduula loko mane akiijane?
9 And, having found it, she calleth together her female friends and neighbours, saying—Rejoice with me! because I have found the piece of silver which I had lost.
Nayijana ulayita beenzinyina ambayakilene aabo kaamba kuti, 'Amuboole tubotelwe nkaambo ndayibona nsiliva yandisweekede.'
10 Thus, I say unto you, there ariseth joy in presence of the messengers of God, over one sinner repenting.
Nikuba boobo ndikumwaambila kuti kuli kukondwa kunembo lyabangelo ba Leza aatala asizibi omwe uusanduka.”
11 And he said—A certain man, had two sons.
Mpawo Jesu wakati, “Kwakali mwaalumi wakali aabana balombe babili,
12 And the younger of them said unto the father—Father! give me the share that falleth to me, of what there is. And, he, divided unto them the living.
aawo mwana muniini wakati kuli wisi, “Ndeende, ndipe buvubi mumweelwe uulangene aandime.” Mpawo wakaaba buvubi aakati kabo.
13 And, after not many days, the younger son, gathering all together, left home for a country far away, and, there, squandered his substance with riotous living.
Kakutanayiknda mazuba miingi, mwana muniini wakabungania buvubi bwakwe wiinka aabo kunyika iilikule ooko wakakunyonyoona buvubi bwakwe mukupana bunjaka.
14 And, when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine throughout that country, —and, he, began to be in want.
Lino nakamaninsya zyoonse kwakaba nzala mpati munyika yoonse, mpawo wakatalika kubula.
15 And he went his way, and joined himself unto one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to be feeding swine.
Wakayinka kuyolipeda kubelekela umwi wabantu bamuchisi eecho, wakakumutuma kusanina ngulube mumuunda wakwe.
16 And he used to long to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and, no man, was giving unto him.
Wakalikunoonga wajana kukondwa naalya tukuli twakali kuligwa ngulube nkaambo taakwe wakalikumupa chakulya.
17 But coming, to himself, he said—How many hired servants of my father, have bread enough and to spare, whereas, I, with famine, here, am perishing!
Mpawo aawo mwana muniini ooyu nakaboola kumizeezo yakwe, wakati, 'Mbangane babelesi ba ndeende balikulya chakulya chizulila, mpawo me ndaano ndikufwa aanzala!
18 I will arise, and go unto my father, and will say unto him—Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee:
Ndilanyampuka aano ndiye kuli ndeende ndikatedi, “Ndeende ndakabisizya julu anduwe.
19 No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, —Make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came unto his own father.
Nsichikwe bulemu bwakwiitwa kuti mndimwana wako; ndichite kuti ndibe uumwi wanbabelesi bako.'”
20 Now, while yet he was holding afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and, running, fell upon his neck, and tenderly kissed him.
Mpawo mwana miniini ooyo wakazwa kunyika nkwaakabede waboola kuli wisi. Aawo naakachili kulele kule alimwi wisi wakamubona wabotelwa, walkachijaana, wakumumbungatila akumumyonta.
21 And the son said unto him—Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee: No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, —[make me as one of thy hired servants.]
Mwana wakati kuli nguwe, 'Ndeende, ndakabisizya julu anduwe, nsichikwe bulemu bwakwiitwa kuti ndili mwana wako.'
22 But the father said unto his servants—Quick! bring forth a robe—the best! and put on him, and get out a ring for his hand, and sandals for his feet.
Wisi wakati kubabelesi bakwe, 'Mufwambaamne mwee te jansi bbotu kwiindilila, mumusasike, alimwi mubikke nweenwe kukuboko kwakwe, ansangu kumawulu aakwe.
23 And be bringing the fatted calf, sacrifice! and let us eat and make merry:
Mpawo mweete mwana wan'gombe uneneede mumujaye. Atupobole tubotelwe!
24 Because, this my son, was, dead, and hath come to life again, was lost, and is found. And they began to be making merry.
Nkaambo mwana wangu wakalisweekede, lino waboneka.' Mpawo bakatalika kubotelwa
25 But his elder son was in a field; and, as, in coming, he drew near unto the house, he heard music and dancing, —
Lino mwana wakwe mupati wakachili kumuunda. Aawo naakaboola akusika afwiifwi amuunzi, wakamvwa miimbo akuzyana.
26 and, calling near one of the youths, he inquired what these things, could be.
Wakayita umwi mubelesi wabuzya kuti zyaambanzi eezi.
27 And, he, said unto him, —Thy brother, hath come, and thy father hath sacrificed the fatted calf, because, safe and sound, hath he received him back.
Mubelesi wakamwaambila kuti, 'Mwanike wako waboola kumuunzi alimwi wuso wajaya mwana wang'ombe uuneneede nkaambo waboola kali muumi.'
28 But he was provoked to anger, and would not go in. And, his father, coming out, began to entreat him.
Mwana mupati wakanyema alimwi taakanjila pe mukati, wisi wakazwa aanze, kuzo mukombelezya.
29 But, he, answering said unto his father—Lo! so many years as these, do I serve thee, and, at no time, a commandment of thine, have I transgressed, —And, unto me, at no time, hast thou given a kid, that, with my friends, I might make merry;
Pesi mwana mupati wakasandula wisi wati, “Langa, eeyi minyaka myiingi yoonse ndakubelekela chabuzike, alimwi taakwe nindakatyola nuuba omwe mulawu wako, pesi taakwe nwakandipa mwana wampongo kuti ndibotelwe abeenzuma.
30 But, when, this thy son, who had devoured thy living with harlots, came, thou didst sacrifice, for him, the fatted calf;
Pesi mbaboola, ooyo wakakulya lubono lwako abasi bwaamu, wamujiila mwana wangombe uneneede.'
31 But, he, said unto him—Child! thou, always, art, with me, and, all that is mine, is, thine;
Wisi wakamusandula kuti, “Mwanaangu ukkede koli aandime chiindi choonse, alimwi choonse changu nchichako.
32 But, to make merry and rejoice, there was need, because, this thy brother—was, dead, and hath come to life again, and was lost, and is found.
Pesi chali chibotu kuti tubotelwe nkaambo mwanike wako ooyu wakalifwide; lino wapona; wakali sweekede alimwi waboneka.'”
