Luke 15
1 Then drew near to him the publicans and sinners to hear him.
Ligono limonga vatola kodi na vevambudila Chapanga vamahele vahambili kumuyuwanila Yesu.
2 And the Sophree and Pharishee murmured, and said, This (man) receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
Vafalisayu na vawula va malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa vakatumbula kung'ung'uta, “Mumlola mundu mwenuyu, akuvakemela vandu vevambudila Chapanga na kavili ilya nawu!”
3 And Jeshu spake to them this parable:
Yesu akavajovela luhumu ulu,
4 What man of you, who hath a hundred sheep, if he shall lose one from them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and, going, seeketh that which was lost until he shall have found it?
“Ngati mmonga winu avi na mambelele, miya yimonga na akamanya kuvya mmonga pagati yavi ayagili, yati ikita kyani? Yati akugaleka mambelele tisini na tisa gala kulugangatu na kuhamba kulonda yila yeyiyagili mbaka ampatayi.
5 And when he hath found it, he rejoiceth and carrieth it upon his shoulders.
Ngati amuwona yati akuyigega mumavega kwa luheku.
6 And, coming to his house, he calleth his friends and his neighbours, and saith to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found the sheep which was lost.
Peihika panyumba, Yati akuvakemela vamukozi vaki na veitama nawu papipi na kuvajovela, ‘Tivyai na luheku pamonga na nene ndava niliweni limbelele langu lelayagili.’
7 I say to you, that thus shall there be joy in heaven over one sinner who repenteth, more than over the ninety and nine just ones who have no need of repentance.
Mewawa nikuvajovela, yati kwivya na luheku kunani kwa Chapanga, mundu mmonga mweakumbudila Chapanga, paileka kubuda, kuliku vandu tisini na tisa vabwina na viganikwa lepi kumuwuyila Chapanga.”
8 Or, who is the woman that hath ten zuzis, and shall lose one of them, (and) does not light a lamp and sweep the house, and seek it diligently, until she shall have found it?
“Amala mdala yoki mweavi na mashonga kumi, limonga likamyaga, yati ikita wuli? Nakupambika hahi, na kutyanyila nyumba na kuilonda neju mbaka ayilola?
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours, and saith to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my zuzi that I had lost.
Akamala kuipata, akuvakemela vankozi vaki na veitama nawu papipi na kuvajovela, ‘Mvya na luheku pamonga na nene muni nilipatili lishonga langu lelayagili!’
10 I say to you, that so shall there be joy before the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Mewawa nikuvajovela, ndi chavivya na luheku vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga, ndava ya mundu mmonga mweambudili Chapanga, paileka kubudila Chapanga.”
11 AND Jeshu said to them again, A certain man had two sons;
Yesu akayendelela kujova. Kwavili na mundu mmonga mweavi na vana vasongolo vavili.
12 and his minor son said to him, My father, give to me my division of the goods of thy house. And he divided to them his substance.
Mdebe yula akamjovela dadi waki, Dadi, nipelayi uhali wa vindu vyeviganikiwa kupewa, Dadi waki akavagavanisila vindu vyaki.
13 And after a few days the minor son gathered together his all whatsoever, and went into a distant country, and there dispersed his substance in living profusely.
Gapitili lepi Magono gamahele, mwana mdebe yula akagulisa vindu vyaki vyoha, na kuwuka na mashonga geapewili, akahamba kumulima wa kutali, kwenuko akazipomondana kwa mambu ga ukemi mashonga gala.
14 And when every thing he had was finished, there was a great famine in that country; and he began to want.
Peamalili kila chindu cheavili nachu, ndi yikahumila njala yivaha pamulima wenuwo na mwene akatumbula kung'ahika.
15 And he went and joined himself to one of the sons of the city of that place; and he sent him into the field to tend the swine.
Akahamba kwa mkolonjinji mmonga, wa mulima wenuwo na kuyupa lihengu, mwene akampela lihengu la kudima maguluvi kumgunda waki.
16 And he had a desire to fill his belly with those karubs which the swine did eat; and no man gave to him.
Anogili kulya chakulya cha maguluvi gala, nambu kawaka mundu mweampeli chindu cha kulya.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hirelings are there now in my father's house, who have abundance of bread, and I here with hunger am perishing!
Mumbele luhala lwamuyili akajova mumtima waki. Kuvi na vana lihengu, valinga kwa Dadi wangu, vevilya na kusigalisa chakulya na nene nifwa penapa na njala!
18 I will arise, go to my father, and say to him, My father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee,
Yati niwuya kwa dadi wangu na kumjovela, Dadi, nimbudili Chapanga na nikubudili veve mewa.
19 and am no more worthy thy son to be called: make me as one of thy hirelings.
Niganikiwa lepi kavili kukemelewa, mwana waku, unikita ngati mmonga wa vana lihengu vaku.
20 And he arose, (and) went to his father. And while he was (yet) afar, his father saw him, and had compassion upon him, and ran, fell upon his neck, and kissed him.
Ndi akatumbula lugendu kuwuya kwa dadi waki. “Mwene peavili cha kutali, dadi waki amuweni, kwa mtima wa lipyana amjumbalili na kumjambusa cha uganu.
21 And his son said to him, My father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and am not worthy thy son to be called.
Mwana yula akamjovela, ‘Dadi, nimbudili Chapanga, na nikubudili veve mewa. Nene niganikiwa lepi kavili kukemelewa mwana waku.’
22 But his father said to his servants, Bring forth the first robe to clothe him, and put a ring upon his hand, and let him be, shod with sandals,
Nambu dadi waki akavajovela vanalihengu vaki, ‘Kanyata!’ Muleta nyula yabwina mumuwalika. Mumuwalika na pete pamonga na champali!
23 and bring, kill the calf that is fat, and let us eat and be glad;
Mukatola mpapakasi wa mweakulupi mukahinja, tilyayi na kuselebuka!
24 for this my son was dead, and he is alive; he was lost, and is found. And they began to rejoice.
Ndava muni mwana vangu uyu kwa nene avi ngati afwili, nambu hinu akona mumi, ayagili hinu awonikini. Vakatumbula kuselebuka.”
25 But he, the elder son, was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard the voice of music;
“Lukumbi lwenulo muhaja waki avi akona kumgunda. Ndi peawuyayi kuhegelela panyumba, akayuwana vilulu na vandu vikina ng'oma.
26 and he called one of the youths, and asked him what this was.
Akamkemela mmonga wa mtumisi kumkota, ‘Chivii kyani kwenuko?’
27 He said to him, Thy brother hath come, and thy father hath killed the calf that was fat, because he hath received him well.
Mtumisi yula akayangula, ‘Mlongo waku awuyili kunyumba, na dadi waku amuhinjili mpapakasi mweakulupili, muni ampatili akona mumi.’”
28 And he was angry, and would not go in. And his father came forth and besought him.
“Nambu mvaha yula akavya na ligoga na kubela kuyingila mugati. Ndi dadi waki akahuma kuvala na kumuyupa neju ayingila mugati.
29 But he said to his father, Behold, how many years have I wrought thee service, and never have I transgressed thy commandment: yet never hast thou given me a kid, that I might feast with my friends.
Nambu mwene akamyangula dadi waki, ‘Lola, Nikuhengili mahengu Miyaka yoha iyi ngati mvanda changabela malagizu gaku hati padebe. Unipeli kyani? Unipeli lepi hati kamene kadebe na nene nganiselebwiki na vankozi vangu.
30 But this thy son, when he hath wasted thy substance with harlots, and hath come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
Nambu mwana waku uyu mwepomondini mashonga gaku pamonga na vakemi, peabweli umuhinji mpapakasi mweakulupili!’
31 His father saith to him, My son, thou in all time art with me, and every thing that I have is thine.
Dadi waki akamyangula, ‘Mwana vangu, veve uvi pamonga na nene magono goha na vindu vyoha vyenivi navyu vyaku.
32 But to rejoice it behoves us, and to be glad, because this thy brother was dead, and is alive; and was lost, and is found.
Nambu yatiganili kukita mselebuko na luheku ndava mlongo waku mweavi ngati afwili, hinu akona mumi, mweayagili nambu hinu awonikini.’”
