Luke 15
1 Now the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners were everywhere in the habit of coming close to Him to listen to Him;
Ligono limonga vatola kodi na vevambudila Chapanga vamahele vahambili kumuyuwanila Yesu.
2 and this led the Pharisees and the Scribes indignantly to complain, saying, "He gives a welcome to notorious sinners, and joins them at their meals!"
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 So in figurative language He asked them,
Yesu akavajovela luhumu ulu,
4 "Which of you men, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in their pasture and go in search of the lost one till he finds 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 has found it, he lifts it on his shoulder, glad at heart.
Ngati amuwona yati akuyigega mumavega kwa luheku.
6 Then coming home he calls his friends and neighbours together, and says, 'Congratulate me, for I have found my sheep--the one I had 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 tell you that in the same way there will be rejoicing in Heaven over one repentant sinner--more rejoicing than over ninety-nine blameless persons 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 what woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully till she finds 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 has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, and says, "'Congratulate me, for I have found the coin which 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 tell you that in the same way there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one repentant sinner."
Mewawa nikuvajovela, ndi chavivya na luheku vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga, ndava ya mundu mmonga mweambudili Chapanga, paileka kubudila Chapanga.”
11 He went on to say, "There was a man who had two sons.
Yesu akayendelela kujova. Kwavili na mundu mmonga mweavi na vana vasongolo vavili.
12 The younger of them said to his father, "'Father, give me the share of the property that comes to me.' "So he divided his wealth between them.
Mdebe yula akamjovela dadi waki, Dadi, nipelayi uhali wa vindu vyeviganikiwa kupewa, Dadi waki akavagavanisila vindu vyaki.
13 No long time afterwards the younger son got all together and travelled to a distant country, where he wasted his money in debauchery and excess.
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 At last, when he had spent everything, there came a terrible famine throughout that country, and he began to feel the pinch of want.
Peamalili kila chindu cheavili nachu, ndi yikahumila njala yivaha pamulima wenuwo na mwene akatumbula kung'ahika.
15 So he went and hired himself to one of the inhabitants of that country, who sent him on to his farm to tend swine;
Akahamba kwa mkolonjinji mmonga, wa mulima wenuwo na kuyupa lihengu, mwene akampela lihengu la kudima maguluvi kumgunda waki.
16 and he longed to make a hearty meal of the pods the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
Anogili kulya chakulya cha maguluvi gala, nambu kawaka mundu mweampeli chindu cha kulya.
17 "But on coming to himself he said, "'How many of my father's hired men have more bread than they want, while I here am dying of hunger!
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 rise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you:
Yati niwuya kwa dadi wangu na kumjovela, Dadi, nimbudili Chapanga na nikubudili veve mewa.
19 I no longer deserve to be called a son of yours: treat me as one of your hired men.'
Niganikiwa lepi kavili kukemelewa, mwana waku, unikita ngati mmonga wa vana lihengu vaku.
20 "So he rose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and pitied him, and ran and threw his arms round his neck and kissed him tenderly.
Ndi akatumbula lugendu kuwuya kwa dadi waki. “Mwene peavili cha kutali, dadi waki amuweni, kwa mtima wa lipyana amjumbalili na kumjambusa cha uganu.
21 "'Father,' cried the son, 'I have sinned against Heaven and before you: no longer do I deserve to be called a son of yours.'
Mwana yula akamjovela, ‘Dadi, nimbudili Chapanga, na nikubudili veve mewa. Nene niganikiwa lepi kavili kukemelewa mwana waku.’
22 "But the father said to his servants, "'Fetch a good coat quickly--the best one--and put it on him; and bring a ring for his finger and shoes for his feet.
Nambu dadi waki akavajovela vanalihengu vaki, ‘Kanyata!’ Muleta nyula yabwina mumuwalika. Mumuwalika na pete pamonga na champali!
23 Fetch the fat calf and kill it, and let us feast and enjoy ourselves;
Mukatola mpapakasi wa mweakulupi mukahinja, tilyayi na kuselebuka!
24 for my son here was dead and has come to life again: he was lost and has been found.' "And they began to be merry.
Ndava muni mwana vangu uyu kwa nene avi ngati afwili, nambu hinu akona mumi, ayagili hinu awonikini. Vakatumbula kuselebuka.”
25 "Now his elder son was out on the farm; and when he returned and came near home, he heard music and dancing.
“Lukumbi lwenulo muhaja waki avi akona kumgunda. Ndi peawuyayi kuhegelela panyumba, akayuwana vilulu na vandu vikina ng'oma.
26 Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant.
Akamkemela mmonga wa mtumisi kumkota, ‘Chivii kyani kwenuko?’
27 "'Your brother has come,' he replied; 'and your father has had the fat calf killed, because he has got him home safe and sound.'
Mtumisi yula akayangula, ‘Mlongo waku awuyili kunyumba, na dadi waku amuhinjili mpapakasi mweakulupili, muni ampatili akona mumi.’”
28 "Then he was angry and would not go in. But his father came out and entreated him.
“Nambu mvaha yula akavya na ligoga na kubela kuyingila mugati. Ndi dadi waki akahuma kuvala na kumuyupa neju ayingila mugati.
29 "'All these years,' replied the son, 'I have been slaving for you, and I have never at any time disobeyed any of your orders, and yet you have never given me so much as a kid, for me to enjoy myself 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 now that this son of yours is come who has eaten up your property among his bad women, you have killed the fat calf for him.'
Nambu mwana waku uyu mwepomondini mashonga gaku pamonga na vakemi, peabweli umuhinji mpapakasi mweakulupili!’
31 "'You my dear son,' said the father, 'are always with me, and all that is mine is also yours.
Dadi waki akamyangula, ‘Mwana vangu, veve uvi pamonga na nene magono goha na vindu vyoha vyenivi navyu vyaku.
32 We are bound to make merry and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life, he was lost and has been found.'"
Nambu yatiganili kukita mselebuko na luheku ndava mlongo waku mweavi ngati afwili, hinu akona mumi, mweayagili nambu hinu awonikini.’”
