Luka 15
1 Mbe abhatobhesa bho obhushuru bhona na abhebhibhi abhandi bhejile ku Yesu okumutegelesha.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were approaching him to hear him.
2 Abhafarisayo bhona na abhandiki nibhalunduma nibhaika ati, “Omunu unu kakumilila abhebhibhi nakingila okulya nabho.”
And the Pharisees and the scholars murmured, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them.
3 Nio Yesu naika echijejekanyo chinu kubhene,
And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
4 “Niga unu mwimwe alina jinama egana akabhushako imwi, atakusiga ejindi makumi mwenda na mwenda ibhara, akaja okulonda inu yabhulile okukingila ao alaibhonela.
What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go for that which was lost until he finds it?
5 Akefula naibhona kaiyeka kumabhega Gaye nakondelelwa.
And when he finds it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 Akakinga mumusi, nabhilikila abhasani bhaye na abhekashanya bhaye nabhabhwila ati 'mukondelelwe lwakutyo anye nili, kulwokubha naibhona inama yani eyo yaliga ibhulile.'
And when he comes to the house, he calls together his men friends and his men neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.
7 Enibhabhwila kutya mulwire ubhubhayo obhukondelelwa kulwo omunu umwi oyokata ebhibhibhi, kukila abhalengelesi makumi mwenda na mwenda bhanu bhatali na mwoyo gwo ukuta ebhibhibhi.
I say to you, that thus there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of repentance.
8 Amo ni mugasiki unu ali na jiyela jomunyalaga ekumi, nabhusha imwi, atakukongesha itala nakukumba inyumba nokulonda kwa amanaga okukingila ao alaibhonela?
Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she finds it?
9 Akefula aibhwene kabhilikila abhasani bhaye na abhanyaluguyo bhaye nabhabhwila mukondelelwe lwa kutyo any nili, kulwokubha nasubha okubhona iyela yani eyonaliga nabhusishe.
And when she has found it, she calls together her lady friends and lady neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, because I found the drachma that I lost.
10 Kulwejo enibhabhwila ati bhulio obhukondelelwa imbele ya bhamalaika bha Nyamuanga kulwo omunu umwi unu kata ebhibhibhi.”
Thus I say to you, there becomes joy in the presence of the agents of God over one sinner who repents.
11 Nio Yesu naika ati, “Omunu umwi aliga ana bhana bhabhili.
And he said, A certain man had two sons,
12 Omulela nabhwila esemwene ati, 'Lata nana libhala lya imali yomwandu gunu enilya. Kulwejo esemwene nabhagabhila imali bhona bhabhili.
and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his living.
13 Jichali kulabhao nsiku nyafu uliya omulela nakumanya ebhyaye bhona nagenda muchalo chakula, ejile akinga eyo nabha wakulasa-lasa jiyela jaye, nagulaga ebhinu bhitali na mugaso, ejindi nalasa-lasa mubhunyamuke.
And not many days after, the younger son, having gathered all together, journeyed into a distant country, and there he squandered his wealth living recklessly.
14 Ejile amalao jiyela injala nituka muchalo echo namba okulapalapa.
And when he spent all, a mighty famine developed in that country, and he began to be in want.
15 Neya nagenda okwilondela emilimu ku mwikasi umwi owechalo echo, mbe namusila mwisambu lyaye okugabhila jimpunu jaika.
And having gone, he was joined to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 Nekumbulila okulya amasusu ganu galibhwaga jimpunu kulwokubha atabhaoga munu wokumuyana chonachona echokulya.
And he longed to fill his belly from the husks that the swine ate, and no man gave to him.
17 Ejile akeganilisha mumwoyo gwaye, nelomela ati, 'Abhagaya bha lata nibhalinga, abhalya nibheguta kanye nilyanu enifwa nomweko!
But when he came to himself, he said, How many hired men of my father's have abundance of loaves, but I am perishing with hunger.
18 Enisokanu nigende kulata nokumubhwila ati, “Lata nikaile mulwile na imbele ya ameso gao. Jiteile nibhilikilwe mwana wao
After rising, I will go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight.
19 lindi; nunteo Leo oumwi wa abhagaya bhao.'”
I am no more worthy to be called thy son. Make me as one of thy hired men.
20 Nio nemuka nagenda kwe esemwene. Achali kula esemwene amulolele naja namufwila chigongo nabhilima bhwangu namufumbela nokumunyunya.
And having risen, he went to his father. But while he was still distant, afar off, his father saw him and felt compassion. And having ran, he fell on his neck, and kissed him much.
21 Omwana uliya nabhwila esemwene ati, 'lata niyabhiye olwire na imbele ya ameso gao nitakwiya okubhilikilwa mwana wao.'
And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight. I am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 Esemwene nabhwila abhakosi bhaye ati, 'mulete bhwangu omwenda gwekisi, mumufwafye mumutulemo ipete muchala ne ebhilato mumagulu.
But the father said to his bondmen, Bring forth the best robe and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and shoes for his feet.
23 Mukamala mulete echinyara echinule muchinje chilye chikondelelwe.
And having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we will be cheerful,
24 Kulwokubha omwana wani aliga afuye olyanu ni muanga. Aliga abhulile nawe abhonekana, nibhamba okutela akaila.
because this my son was dead, and became alive again. And he was lost, and is found. And they began to be cheerful.
25 Mbe omwana waye omukulu aliga alimwisambu. Aliga achaja alebhelee ika nongwa obhulaka bhwa jinyimbo no obhwenywa.
But his elder son was in a field. And while coming, having approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Nabhilikila omugaya umwi namubhusha ati amagambo ago gana nsongaki?
And having summoned one of the boys, he inquired what these things might be.
27 Omugaya namubhwila ati omutoto wao aja lelo na esomwana amuchinjila echinyara chenule kulwokubha asubha ali muanga.'
And he said to him, Thy brother arrived, and thy father has killed the fatted calf, because he received him back healthy.
28 Omwana omukulu nabhiililwa nalema okwingila munju esemwene nasoka anja naja okumulembeleja.
But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore, his father having come out, he called him.
29 nawe nasubhya esemwene ati, “Lola anye nakukoleye myaka myafu, nchaliga okugaya amalagililo gao, nawe uchaliga kunana akanabhusi, koleleki ninyenyege na abhasani bhani.
But having answered, he said to his father, Lo, so many years do I serve thee, and I never passed by a commandment of thine, and yet thou never gave me a goat that I might be merry with my friends.
30 Nawe ajokuja omwana wao unu alasa-lasaga imali yao yona ali na abhasimbe bha muchilabho wamuchinjila echinyara echinule
But when this thy son came, who has devoured thy living with harlots, thou killed for him the fatted calf.
31 Esemwene namubhwila ati, 'mwana wani, awe uliamwi nanye nsiku jona na bhinu nilinabhyo bhyona ni bhyao.
And he said to him, Child, thou are always with me, and all my things are yours.
32 Tali jaliga jili jakisi kwise okukola olumula nokukondelelwa, omula wanyu unu aliga afuye, olyanu nimuanga; aliga abhulile na lelo abhoneka
But it was needful to make merry and be glad, because this thy brother was dead, and became alive again, and was lost, and was found.
