Luke 15
1 And pupplicans and synful men weren neiyynge to him, to here hym.
Basi watoza ushuru na wenye dhambi wote walikuwa wanakusanyika ili wapate kumsikiliza Yesu.
2 And the Farisees and scribis grutchiden, seiynge, For this resseyueth synful men, and etith with hem.
Lakini Mafarisayo na walimu wa sheria wakanungʼunika wakisema, “Huyu mtu anawakaribisha wenye dhambi na kula nao.”
3 And he spak to hem this parable,
Ndipo Yesu akawaambia mfano huu:
4 and seide, What man of you that hath an hundrith scheep, and if he hath lost oon of hem, whethir he leeueth not nynti and nyne in desert, and goith to it that perischide, til he fynde it?
“Ikiwa mmoja wenu ana kondoo mia moja, naye akapoteza mmoja wao, je, hawaachi wale tisini na tisa nyikani na kwenda kumtafuta huyo aliyepotea mpaka ampate?
5 And whanne he hath foundun it, he ioieth, and leyith it on hise schuldris; and he cometh hoom,
Naye akishampata, humbeba mabegani mwake kwa furaha
6 and clepith togidir hise freendis and neiyboris, and seith to hem, Be ye glad with me, for Y haue founde my scheep, that hadde perischid.
na kwenda nyumbani. Kisha huwaita rafiki zake na majirani, na kuwaambia, ‘Furahini pamoja nami; nimempata kondoo wangu aliyepotea.’
7 And Y seie to you, so ioye schal be in heuene on o synful man doynge penaunce, more than on nynti and nyne iuste, that han no nede to penaunce.
Nawaambieni, vivyo hivyo kutakuwa na furaha zaidi mbinguni kwa sababu ya mwenye dhambi mmoja atubuye, kuliko kwa wenye haki tisini na tisa ambao hawana haja ya kutubu.”
8 Or what womman hauynge ten besauntis, and if sche hath lost oo besaunt, whether sche teendith not a lanterne, and turneth vpsodoun the hows, and sekith diligentli, til that sche fynde it?
“Au ikiwa mwanamke ana sarafu za fedha kumi, naye akapoteza moja, je, hawashi taa na kufagia nyumba na kuitafuta kwa bidii mpaka aipate?
9 And whanne sche hath foundun, sche clepith togidir freendis and neiyboris, and seith, Be ye glad with me, for Y haue founde the besaunt, that Y hadde lost.
Naye akiisha kuipata, huwaita rafiki zake na majirani na kuwaambia, ‘Furahini pamoja nami; nimeipata ile sarafu yangu ya fedha iliyopotea.’
10 So Y seie to you, ioye schal be bifor aungels of God on o synful man doynge penaunce.
Vivyo hivyo, nawaambia, kuna furaha mbele ya malaika wa Mungu juu ya mwenye dhambi mmoja atubuye.”
11 And he seide, A man hadde twei sones;
Yesu akaendelea kusema: “Kulikuwa na mtu mmoja aliyekuwa na wana wawili.
12 and the yonger of hem seide to the fadir, Fadir, yyue me the porcioun of catel, that fallith to me. And he departide to hem the catel.
Yule mdogo akamwambia baba yake, ‘Baba, nipe urithi wangu.’ Hivyo akawagawia wanawe mali yake.
13 And not aftir many daies, whanne alle thingis weren gederid togider, the yonger sone wente forth in pilgrymage in to a fer cuntre; and there he wastide hise goodis in lyuynge lecherously.
“Baada ya muda mfupi, yule mdogo akakusanya vitu vyote alivyokuwa navyo, akaenda nchi ya mbali, na huko akaitapanya mali yake kwa maisha ya anasa.
14 And aftir that he hadde endid alle thingis, a strong hungre was maad in that cuntre, and he bigan to haue nede.
Baada ya kutumia kila kitu alichokuwa nacho, kukawa na njaa kali katika nchi ile yote, naye akawa hana chochote.
15 And he wente, and drouy hym to oon of the citeseyns of that cuntre. And he sente hym in to his toun, to fede swyn.
Kwa hiyo akaenda akaajiriwa na mwenyeji mmoja wa nchi ile ambaye alimpeleka shambani kwake kulisha nguruwe.
16 And he coueitide to fille his wombe of the coddis that the hoggis eeten, and no man yaf hym.
Akatamani kujishibisha kwa maganda waliyokula wale nguruwe, wala hakuna mtu aliyempa chochote.
17 And he turnede ayen to hym silf, and seide, Hou many hirid men in my fadir hous han plente of looues; and Y perische here thorouy hungir.
“Lakini alipozingatia moyoni mwake, akasema, ‘Ni watumishi wangapi walioajiriwa na baba yangu ambao wana chakula cha kuwatosha na kusaza, bali mimi hapa nakufa kwa njaa!
18 Y schal rise vp, and go to my fadir, and Y schal seie to hym, Fadir, Y haue synned in to heuene, and bifor thee;
Nitaondoka na kurudi kwa baba yangu na kumwambia: Baba, nimetenda dhambi mbele za Mungu na mbele yako.
19 and now Y am not worthi to be clepid thi sone, make me as oon of thin hirid men.
Sistahili tena kuitwa mwanao; nifanye kama mmoja wa watumishi wako.’
20 And he roos vp, and cam to his fadir. And whanne he was yit afer, his fadir saiy hym, and was stirrid bi mercy. And he ran, and fel on his necke, and kisside hym.
Basi akaondoka, akaenda kwa baba yake. “Lakini alipokuwa bado yuko mbali, baba yake akamwona, moyo wake ukajawa na huruma. Akamkimbilia mwanawe, akamkumbatia na kumbusu.
21 And the sone seide to hym, Fadir, Y haue synned in to heuene, and bifor thee; and now Y am not worthi to be clepid thi sone.
“Yule mwana akamwambia baba yake, ‘Baba, nimekosa mbele za Mungu na mbele yako. Sistahili kuitwa mwanao tena.’
22 And the fadir seide to hise seruauntis, Swithe brynge ye forth the firste stoole, and clothe ye hym, and yyue ye a ryng in his hoond,
“Lakini baba yake akawaambia watumishi, ‘Leteni upesi joho lililo bora sana, tieni pete kidoleni mwake na viatu miguuni mwake.
23 and schoon on hise feet; and brynge ye a fat calf, and sle ye, and ete we, and make we feeste.
Leteni ndama aliyenona, mkamchinje ili tuwe na karamu, tule na kufurahi.
24 For this my sone was deed, and hath lyued ayen; he perischid, and is foundun. And alle men bigunnen to ete.
Kwa maana huyu mwanangu alikuwa amekufa na sasa yu hai tena; alikuwa amepotea na sasa amepatikana!’ Nao wakaanza kufanya tafrija.
25 But his eldere sone was in the feeld; and whanne he cam, and neiyede to the hous, he herde a symfonye and a croude.
“Wakati huo, yule mwana mkubwa alikuwa shambani. Alipokaribia nyumbani, akasikia sauti ya nyimbo na watu wakicheza.
26 And he clepide oon of the seruauntis, and axide, what these thingis weren.
Akamwita mmoja wa watumishi na kumuuliza, ‘Kuna nini?’
27 And he seide to hym, Thi brother is comun, and thi fadir slewe a fat calf, for he resseyuede hym saaf.
Akamwambia, ‘Ndugu yako amekuja, naye baba yako amemchinjia ndama aliyenona kwa sababu mwanawe amerudi nyumbani akiwa salama na mzima.’
28 And he was wrooth, and wolde not come in. Therfor his fadir wente out, and bigan to preye hym.
“Yule mwana mkubwa akakasirika, akakataa kuingia ndani. Basi baba yake akatoka nje na kumsihi.
29 And he answerde to his fadir, and seide, Lo! so many yeeris Y serue thee, and Y neuer brak thi comaundement; and thou neuer yaf to me a kidde, that Y with my freendis schulde haue ete.
Lakini yeye akamjibu baba yake, ‘Tazama! Miaka yote hii nimekutumikia na hata siku moja sijaacha kutii amri zako, lakini hujanipa hata mwana-mbuzi ili nifurahi na rafiki zangu.
30 But aftir that this thi sone, that hath deuourid his substaunce with horis, cam, thou hast slayn to hym a fat calf.
Lakini huyu mwanao ambaye ametapanya mali yako kwa makahaba aliporudi nyumbani, wewe umemchinjia ndama aliyenona!’
31 And he seide to hym, Sone, thou art euer more with me, and alle my thingis ben thine.
“Baba yake akamjibu, ‘Mwanangu, umekuwa nami siku zote na vyote nilivyo navyo ni vyako.
32 But it bihofte for to make feeste, and to haue ioye; for this thi brother was deed, and lyuede ayen; he perischide, and is foundun.
Lakini ilitubidi tufurahi na kushangilia kwa sababu huyu ndugu yako alikuwa amekufa na sasa yu hai; alikuwa amepotea naye amepatikana.’”
