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;
Lino beshikusonkesha musonko ne bantu nabambi balikubula kukonka Milawo, balesa kwambeti banyumfwe mulumbe wa 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!"
Lino Bafalisi ne beshikwiyisha ba Milawo balatatika kudandaula ne kwambeti, “Uyu muntu latambulungeconi bantu babwipishi, nekulya nabo.”
3 So in figurative language He asked them,
Lino Yesu walabambila mukoshanyo eti,
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?
“Na umbi pali amwe kakute mbelele shili mwanda, lino imo itaika sena nkela kushiya mbelele shili makumi asanu ne ana ne shisanu ne shina ne kuya kulangaula kushikila wicana?
5 And when he has found it, he lifts it on his shoulder, glad at heart.
Lino na layicana ukute kukondwa ne kwinyamuna pamafushi
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.'
nekwitwala kung'anda. Lino ukute kukuwa banendi ne beshikamukowa nekubambileti, katukondwani pamo pakwinga mbelele yakame yanga yataika ndaicana,
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.
ndamwambilingeti, nakoyo kwilu nikukabe kukondwa pamuntu umo wabwipishi lasanduku kubwipishi, kupita bantu bali makumi asanu ne ana ne basanu ne bana balulama batasuni kusanduka.”
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?
“Na mutukashi umbi nkakute mali amasilifa likumi, na imo itaika ngawinseconi? Sena nte ukute kumunika lampi nekupyanga mung'anda yakendi nekulangaula cena monse kushikila wicana?
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.'
Alicana ukute kukuwa banendi ne beshikamukowa nekubambileti, ‘Katukondwani pamo pakwinga lyali lyakame lyanga lyataika ndalicana.’”
10 "I tell you that in the same way there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one repentant sinner."
Yesu walabambileti, “Ndamwambilinga ne kwilu encobakute kwinsa bangelo ba Lesa bakute kukondwa na muntu umo weshi kwinsa bwipishi lasanduku mubyaipa.”
11 He went on to say, "There was a man who had two sons.
Yesu kayi walabambileti, “Kwalikuba mutuloba naumbi walikukute bana batuloba babili.
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.
Lino kanike bantu walabambila baisheti, ‘Ta, kamumpani buboni mbomwela kunjabilako ame mumpele limo.’ Nabo bameshabo balabayabanya buboni bwabo.
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.
Kapatana papita masuba angi, kanike bantu uyo walolisha buboni bwakendi nekumanta mali kuya pabulwendo kucishi ca kutali uko nkwalaya akononga mali akendi onse mubwikalo bwaipa.
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.
Mpwalapwisha mali akendi onse, mucishi umo mwalaba nsala inene, lino walatatika kupenga.
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;
Lino walaya kumuntu naumbi wa mucishi umo. Lino muntu uyo walamupa incito yakwembela ne kusanina nkumba.
16 and he longed to make a hearty meal of the pods the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
Mutuloba uyo walatatika kukumbwa bufufu bwamusekese mboshali kulya nkumba. Nomba kuliya nambi muntu umo walikumupa byakulya.”
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!
“Lino mpwalekalikana mano mumoyo wakendi walambeti, basebenshi bonse ba bata bakute byakulya bingi balekutunga, lino ame kuno ndayandanga kufwa kunsala.
18 I will rise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you:
Ndanyamukunga njenga kuli bata njengambeti, Ta, ndalepisha kuli Lesa ne kuli njamwe.
19 I no longer deserve to be called a son of yours: treat me as one of your hired men.'
Nkandelela kukwiweti mwanenu, nsombi munsuminishe nsanduke musebenshi wenu.”
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.
Lino walanyamuka nekubwelela kuli baishi. “Nkacili patali baishi balamubona, lino bamunyumfwila inkumbo, ne kumukonka akumukumbata ne kumumyanguta mwakukondwa.
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 uyo walabambila baisheti, ta, ndalepisha kuli Lesa ne kuli amwe. Nkandelelela kukwiweti mwanenu.
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.
Nomba baishi balambila basebenshi babo eti, ‘Kamufwambanani mulete byakufwala byaina afwale. Mumufwalike likosa kumunwe ne nkwabilo kumyendo.
23 Fetch the fat calf and kill it, and let us feast and enjoy ourselves;
Salaniponi ng'ombe yansuka inene mushine kwambeti tulye tukondwe.
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.
Pakwinga uyu mwaname wanga wafwa, lino laba muyumi kayi wanga wataika lino lacaniki.’ Pacindici balatatika kusekelela.”
25 "Now his elder son was out on the farm; and when he returned and came near home, he heard music and dancing.
Pacindico mukulene bantu walikuba kulibala. Lino mpwalashika pepi ne ng'anda, walanyumfwa bantu bali kabembila ne kushana ne kulubisha.
26 Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant.
Walakuwa musebenshi umo nekumwipusheti, “cilenshikinga kuno nicani?”
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.'
Musebenshi walakumbuleti, “Mukwenu lesa neco baiso bamushinini ng'ombe yansuka inene pakwinga lesa nkali muyumi.”
28 "Then he was angry and would not go in. But his father came out and entreated him.
Mpwalanyumfweco popelapo walakalala kayi walakana nekwingila mung'anda. Nomba baishi balapula pansa kuya kumukombeleleti engile mung'anda.
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;
Nendi walakumbula baishi eti, kamubonani! byaka kufula mbyondamusebensele eti ndemusha kayi ndiyawa kumwipishilapo nambi pang'ana nomba muliya kumpapo nambi kapongo konka kwambeti kondwepo nebaname.
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.'
Nsombi mwanenu uyu walononga buboni bwenu mubatukashi bapombo, mpwalesa kung'anda, mulamushinini ng'ombe yansuka!
31 "'You my dear son,' said the father, 'are always with me, and all that is mine is also yours.
Baishi balamwambileti, “Omwaname, obe uli nenjame cindi conse kayi bintu byonse mbyonkute nibyakobe.
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.'"
Nsombi lino katukondwa nekusekelela pakwinga kanike wakobe walikuba wafwa, lino nimuyumi, walikuba wataika, lino lacaniki.”
