Lukha 15
1 Pu avasonga songo voni na vange avatula nogwa valutile khwa Yisu nu khupulihincha.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
2 Pu Avikhwandikha vavipile nukhunchova, “Umunu uyu ikhuvahegelencha avanyasambi nu khulya paniniye na vene.”
So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3 Puu uYisu akhanchova ikhihwani khuvene akhanchova akhata
Then Jesus told them this parable:
4 “Veni khulyumwe uvi alining'osi “100” nchingayage yimo, pu sakhahege khulonda yila yimo iyiyagile sikhunchilekha “99” iluta khulonda yila yimo, iluta khulonda iyi yagile nu khuyivona?
“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
5 Nu mwene wayiwene pu ikhumibikha palivega nu khuhovokha.
And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
6 Nifikha khunjengo, ikhuvilanga avanine na avabadihine akhavavula akhata muhovokhage paniniye nune, ukhuva niyiwene ing'osi yango iyi khayagile.
comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
7 nikhuvavula vulevule ukhuta khulava nu khuhovokha umo unyasambi vuipela nu khukhuta, ukhulutilila avanyavulwel vala “99” avu vene vanchila khusita khupela
In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent.
8 Khwale veni udala uvi iyancha ihela “10” nu khuyancha ihela yimo sa khatole ikhisikhi nukhumwemwesya nukhuhuma ukhulonda na makha goni nukhupata ihela yimo?
Or what woman who has ten silver coins and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her house, and search carefully until she finds it?
9 Vu awene iyiwene ihela ya mwene ikhuvilonga avanine nu khuvilanga avanine nukhuvilanga avabadihine nukhuta muhovokhage panine nune ukhuva niyiwene ihela iyikhayagile.
And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’
10 Pu nikhuvavula nita khukhule ukhuhovokha khuvulongolo khunsuhwa nu Nguluve ulwakhuva unyasambi yumo apelile.”
In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
11 Nu Yisu akhanchova, “Umunu umo ale na vana vavili
Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
12 umwana udebe akhambula udadaye, Dada ume iligavo ilya vuhele uwa kyuma iyinogilwe khulyione nu vuhale. Pu akhagava ikyuma mugati imbene.
The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
13 Pu isikhu nchi nyingi umwana udebe akhalundamana fyoni ifyalinafyo akhaluta khukhilunga ikya khuvutali nukhu, akha khinila ihela nchoni, nu khugula ifinu ifipelwapelwa, ifi vivi nu khutaganiya ikyuma nu khuhovokha ne khilunga.
After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.
14 Umwene vualile ikyuma kyooni, inchala imbaha yikhingila ikhilunga khila pu akhava ne njela imbaha.
After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
15 Akhaluta khulonda imbombo khu munu uva khilunga khila, nu mwene akhang'ilikha khukyalo khya mwene ukhudima ingube.
So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
16 Pu alikhunogwa ukhulya nu khwiguta na makhandi aganchisinche ingube, ulwakhuva, asikhuli umunu uvi apile ikyakhulya.
He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
17 Pu umwana udebe akhasaga munumbula ya mwene, akhanchova va vombi, akhanchova vavombi valingi khwa dada vilya nu khunywa ifingi nune nifwa ne nchala!
Finally he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food? But here I am, starving to death!
18 Nune nihega nilutakhwa dada vango, nukhumbula, “Dada usyikhile khukyanya na pa khilunga na khumiho gakho.
I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
19 Sanenogile ukhuta neve mwana vakho; umbikhe ndumbomba mbombo vakho.”
I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
20 Pu akhahega akhaluta khwa dada va mwene. Vu anchige khuvutali udada va mwene akhambona nu khuvona ikhisa akhaluta na mbivoi nu khunyila nu khukhumbata nu khubusu.
So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still in the distance, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.
21 Pu umwana ula akhambula akhata, 'dada nelimalunde gakho, usikhile khukyanya na pasi apa na khuvulongolo khumiho gakho savinogile ukhwilangiwa ukhuta neli mwana wako.'
The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 Pu udada akhavavula avavombi va mwene, mulote umwenda unonu mufwali nche, pete nu khufwa lincha ifilato mumalende.
But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
23 Pu mukhatole isenga iyi dutwive mubude tulye nu khuhekhela.
Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
24 Ulwakhuva umwana vango afyulelino mwuoni. Ayagile lino avonikhe pu vakhatengula ukhuhekhela.
For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
25 Pu lino umwanaumbaha ale khukyalo, vu ikhwincha nu khuhegelela khukyaya akhapulikha inyimbo nu khwovela nu khukhina.
Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Akhilanga uveimbombo yumo akhambuncha, khulikhikhi khukhuta khikhi?
So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
27 Umbomba mbombo akhata uvuvavo iuchile nu dada vakho abudile isenga iyidutwive ulwakhuva avuyile vunonu.'
‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’
28 Umwana umbaha avipile ukhulutilila, akhabela nu khwingila mnyumba gati nu dada akhabembelesya ingile.
The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
29 Pu akhambula udadaye, 'Lola une, nekhuvombili imiakha gimingi, nu khwibata indagilo nchoni sugele ukhuma mwenamene, ukhuta ne hekhele na vayango.
But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
30 Ulwakhuva, vuinchile umwana vakho uve avangile ikhyama kyakho kyoni nu khulya ne valiguubudile igwada iyedutwive.
But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31 Udada akhambula akhata, 'Mwana vango, uve ukhale nune isikhu nchoni, nune vyoni ifi nelinafyo vyakho.
‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
32 Pu yikhale lunonu khulyufwe ukhuhekhela nu khuhovokha, vu ulukhololwu avonikhe vu akhayagile, akhafyule lino alikhuwumi; na avonikhe.”
But it was fitting to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
