< Luke 15 >
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
lino avasongesia songo na vahosi avange vakisa kwa Yesu na kukumpulikisia uYesu.
2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
avaFarisayi vooni navalembi vakajing'ulasia viiti,” umuunhu uju ikuvupila avanya sambi nambe kulia navo.
3 He told them this parable:
uYesu akajova ikighwani iki kuvanave akati,
4 “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
“ghweveni kulyumue, ndeve ali ning'olo kilundo neke jimonga jisova, ikusileka isingi sila fijigho budikalubale na budika lubale na kuluta kulonda jino jisovile kuhanga ajaghe?
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
ghwope kya ajaghile akujipinda pamavegha kumo ahovwike.
6 When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’
angafike pakaja, ikuvakemhela avamanyani na vabadingani vake pe ikuvavula kuuti, hovokagha palikimo nune, ulwakuva ing'olo jango jino jikasovile nijaghile.
7 I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
vule vule nikuvavula kuuti luliiva lukelo kukyanya pano umuhosi jumo ilaata inyivi, kukila vwimila avaanhu fijigho budikalubale na budika lubale, avagholofu avasila vufumbue vwa kulaata.
8 “Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
nambe kwale umukijuuva veni juno ali ni ndalama kijigho, neke angasovelue nu lutalama lumo, kya ikunga itaala nakufyaghila inyumba na kulonda kungufu sooni kuhanga ikulwagha?
9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’
kyande alyaghile ikuvakemhela avamanyani na vabading'ani vake na kukuvavula hovokagha palikimo nune, ulwakuva ulutalama lwango luno lukasovile nilwaghile.
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
nambe ndikio nikuvavula,” pwelule ulukelo pa vulongolo pa vanyaMhola va Nguluve vwimila unyasambi jumo juno ilaata.
11 He said, “A certain man had two sons.
na ju Yesu akati,” umuunhu jumonga alyale na v vaaswambe vavili,
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
un'debe jula akam'bua uviise ghwake akati, baba umhele uvuhasi vwango neke akaghava ikyuma kyake kuveene.
13 Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and travelled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
ifighono nafinga, un'debe jula akakong'ania foni fino finoghile akaluta ku iisi ija kuvutali, ukuo akalia fivi indalama sa mwene, akaghulila ni finu fino nailonda, akavombela fivi indalama samwene kunyivi.
14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
ghwope ye amalile fyoni ilijala likingila mu isi jila pe umwene akatengula kuva mulondi.
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
akaluta kwa muunhu jumonga ghwa mu iisi jila, ghwope akan'twala kumughunda ghwake ku suvila ingube.
16 He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
akava inoghelua kulia amabandu ghano ingube salisagha ulwakuva nakwale umuunhu juno akampelile ikinu kyokyoni alie.
17 But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!
pe un'debe jula akasagha mu mwojo ghwake akati, ava vombi valingi ava baba ghwango vilia filingi ifyakukwilana najune pwenile apa nifua ni n'jala!
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
nivuka niluta kwa baba ghwango na kukumbula,” Baba nihokile kwa Nguluve na pa maaso ghako.
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
naninoghile kukemhelua n'swambo kange, um'bike nive mumo muvavombi vako.
20 “He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
pepano akaluta kwa viise ghwake. ye akyale kutali uviise ghwake akamwagha akam'bonela ikisa akaluta luvilo akamuyayila na kumunonela.
21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
u mwana jula akam'bula akati,” Baba nihoile kukyanya kwa Nguluve na pa vulongolo pa maaso ghako, naninoghile kukemhelua n'swambo.
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
uviise jula akavavula avavombi vake; mulete ng'hani ng'ahi umwenda unono kyongo mun'fwasie. Mun'fwasie ni pele mu kyove ni filatu mumaghulu.
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
kange mulete ing'ombe jino jinonile muhinje tulie na kuhovoka.
24 for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
ulwakuva umwanango alyale afwile mwope mwumi. alyasovile ghwope avonike vakatengula kululutila.
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
pe baho umwanake um'baha jula alyale kumughunda. akatile ikwisa alipipi ni nyumba akapulika ilisio ilya nyimbo na kuseja.
26 He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
akan'kemhela um'bombi jumonga akam'posia agha kwe kuti kiki?
27 He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
um'bombi akam'bula akati,” ununavo isile ubaba ghako amuhijile ing'ombe jino jinonile ulwakuva agomwika n'kafu.
28 But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
un'swambe um'baha akakalala akasita kukwingila mun'kate pe uviise akahuma kunjikumpelepesia.
29 But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
neke akamwamula iviise ghwake akati,” lola une nikuvombile amaka minga nambe nanipunisivue indaghilo sako, neke numhelile nambe kapene kuuti, nihovoke navamanyani vango.
30 But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
neke atile isile un'swambo uju juno alile fivi ikyuma kyako palikimo na vaghenda mwalu umuhinjile ing'ombe jino jinonile.
31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
uviise akam'bula akati,” n'swambango, ulipalikimo nune ifighono fyoni, ni fyoni fino nilinafyo fye fyako.
32 But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
lino lunoghile kulyusue kuvomba ikikulukulu na kuhovoka, unyalukolo ghwako uju hwene akafwile na lino mwumi; akasovile ghwope avonike.
