Luka 15
1 Lyubha limo, bhakamula koli na bhaatendanga yambi bhabhagwinji bhashinkwiyangana kukwaapilikanishiya a Yeshu.
Then resorted vnto him all the Publicanes and sinners, to heare him.
2 Mapalishayo na bhaajiganya bha shalia gubhatandubhenje kuinginika, “Mwalolanje abha bhandubha! Bhanakwaashemanga bhakwetenje yambi, na bhanalya nabhonji.”
Therefore the Pharises and Scribes murmured, saying, Hee receiueth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 A Yeshu gubhaatanjilenje lutango.
Then spake hee this parable to them, saying,
4 “Ibhaga, munkumbi gwenunji mundu akolaga ngondolo makumi kumi, jumo aobhaga, bhuli, akaalekanga makumi tisha na tisha bhala pakonde, nikwenda kunnoleya aobhile jula mpaka ampate?
What man of you hauing an hundreth sheepe, if hee lose one of them, doeth not leaue ninetie and nine in the wildernesse, and goe after that which is lost, vntill he finde it?
5 Ampataga, apinga kunnjigala pashilembele alikwiinonyela.
And when he hath found it, he laieth it on his shoulders with ioye.
6 Aikaga kumui, apinga kwaashemanga ashaambwiga ajakwe nikwaalugulilanga, ‘Twinonyele tubhowe, pabha nimpatile ngondolo jwangu aobhile.’
And when he commeth home, he calleth together his friendes and neighbours, saying vnto them, Reioyce with mee: for I haue founde my sheepe which was lost.
7 Nneyo peyo ngunakummalanjilanga, pwiipingabha kwiinonyela kunnungu, kwa ligongo lya kwiipeta mundu jumo akwete yambi, kupunda bhandu makumi tisha na tisha bhakwetenje aki, bhakaapinjikwanga kwiipeta.”
I say vnto you, that likewise ioy shall be in heauen for one sinner that conuerteth, more then for ninetie and nine iust men, which neede none amendment of life.
8 “Eu nkubhonanga bhuli? Tujile jwankongwe jumo akwete ela likumi limo, aobhyaga jimo, shatende nndi? Shakoleye kandili nipejila nyumba nisheimba kuloleya mpaka ajibhone.
Either what woman hauing ten groates, if she lose one groate, doth not light a candle, and sweepe the house, and seeke diligently till shee finde it?
9 Ajipataga, shabhashemanje ashaambwiga ajakwe na ashaatami ajakwe alinkuti, ‘Twinonyele, pabha ela jangu jaobhile jila nijibhweni.’
And when shee hath found it, shee calleth her friendes, and neighbours, saying, Reioyce with me: for I haue found the groate which I had lost.
10 Nneyo peyo ngunakunnugulilanga, shiikutibha a nng'angalo kwa ashimalaika bha a Nnungu, kwa ligongo lya mundu jumo akwete yambi akwiipeta.”
Likewise I say vnto you, there is ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, for one sinner that conuerteth.
11 A Yeshu gubhapundile kubheleketa, Bhashinkupagwa bhandu bhamo bhaakwete bhashanda bhabhili.
He sayde moreouer, A certaine man had two sonnes.
12 Jwannung'una jula akwaabhalanjilaga ainagwe. “Atati mmbe ulishi gwangu.” Na bhalabho gubhaagabhanishiyenje mali gabho.
And the yonger of them sayde to his father, Father, giue mee the portion of the goods that falleth to mee. So he deuided vnto them his substance.
13 Gakapiteje mobha gashoko, jwannung'una jula gwaushiye ulishi gwakwe, gwapite kushilambo sha talika na ela yakwe ila, gwajonenje nkulabhalabha.
So not many daies after, when the yonger sonne had gathered all together, hee tooke his iourney into a farre countrey, and there hee wasted his goods with riotous liuing.
14 Akamaliyeje indu yowe, gushikoposhele shibhanga shapunda nshilambo mula, gwatandwibhe kulaga.
Nowe when hee had spent all, there arose a great dearth throughout that land, and he began to be in necessitie.
15 Gwajujile liengo kukanshilambo jumo jwa kweneko, jwalakwe gwampeleshe kunngunda gwakwe kuliya ngulubhe.
Then hee went and claue to a citizen of that conntrey, and hee sent him to his farme, to feede swine.
16 Atendaga lokolila shalya sha ngulubhe, ikabhe jwakwapi mundu ampele shindu.
And hee would faine haue filled his bellie with the huskes, that the swine ate: but no man gaue them him.
17 Ikabheje akalumatileje muntima gwakwe gwashite, bhatumishi bhalingwa kwa atati kula, bhalyanganga nilepela, akuno nne niliwa shibhanga?
Then he came to him selfe, and said, Howe many hired seruaunts at my fathers haue bread ynough, and I die for hunger?
18 Shimuje kwa atati ngaabhalanjile kuti, atati, njilebha Kunnungu na kwenu mmwe.
I wil rise and goe to my father, and say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heaue, and before thee,
19 Ngapinjikwa kushemwa kabhili mwanagwenu. Nndende mbuti ntumishi jwenu.
And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants.
20 Bhai gwajabhwile kubhuja kwa ainagwe. “Ikabheje ali kwaataliya, ainagwe gubhamweni, nikummonela shiya gubhammutushile kukunnyambatila akuno bhalikunnambanga.
So hee arose and came to his father, and when hee was yet a great way off, his father sawe him, and had compassion, and ranne and fell on his necke, and kissed him.
21 Mwanamundu gwashite. Atati njikwaalebhela a Nnungu, na njikunnebhela na mmwe. Ngapinjikwa kabhili kushemwa namwanagwenu.
And the sonne sayde vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen, and before thee, and am no more worthie to be called thy sonne.
22 Ikabheje ainagwe gubhaalugulilenje bhatumishi bhabho, ‘Shangu! Ntolanje nngubho ya mmbone munng'washanje! Munng'washanje lupete na ilatu!
Then the father said to his seruaunts, Bring foorth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feete,
23 Munng'inganje ng'ombe jwa mmbone jwa jimbala, tulye na tuangalile!
And bring the fat calfe, and kill him, and let vs eate, and be merie:
24 Pabha kwangu nne mwananguju aawile, mbena jwankoto ashinkuobha, ikabheje nnaino abhoneshe.’ Gubhatandubhenje kuangalila.
For this my sonne was dead, and is aliue againe: and he was lost, but he is found. And they began to be merie.
25 “Gene malangago nkulugwe jula, paliji akanabhebhuja kunngunda. Pabhujaga alibhandishila kumui, gwapilikene nyimbo na iindo ya ina.
Nowe the elder brother was in the fielde, and when he came and drewe neere to the house, he heard melodie, and dauncing,
26 Gwanshemile ntumishi jumo, gwammushiye, ‘Shipali nndi?’
And called one of his seruaunts, and asked what those things meant.
27 Ntumishi jula gwannjangwile, ‘Mpwako abhujile, na ainago bhashikunng'injila ng'ombe jwa mmbone jwa jimbala, pabha bhampatile mwana gwabho ali jwankoto.’
And hee sayde vnto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatte calfe, because he hath receiued him safe and sound.
28 “Nshanda jwankulu jula guinshimile, gwakanile kujinjila nnyumba. Ainagwe gubhakopweshe palanga kukunshondelesheya ajinjile.
Then he was angry, and would not goe in: therefore came his father out and entreated him.
29 Ikabheje jwalakwe gwabhajangwile, ‘Nnole! Yaka yowei nne njikuntumishila na nganabhekana amuli yenu wala lyubha limo. Ikabheje nkanabhemba nkali mwana jwa mmbui jumo, ng'angalale na ashaambwiga ajangu!
But he answered and said to his father, Loe, these many yeeres haue I done thee seruice, neither brake I at any time thy commadement, and yet thou neuer gauest mee a kidde that I might make merie with my friends.
30 Ikabheje mwana gwenu ajonenje indu yenu na majajana, akabhujeje shangupe nshikunng'injila ng'ombe jwa mmbone jwa jimbala.’
But when this thy sonne was come, which hath deuoured thy good with harlots, thou hast for his sake killed the fat calfe.
31 Ainagwe gubhannjangwile, ‘Mwanangu, ugwe puli na nne mobha gowega, na indu yowe ingwete nne yako.
And he said vnto him, Sonne, thou art euer with me, and al that I haue, is thine.
32 Ikabheje tushipinjikwa kuangalila nkwinonyela pabha mpwako awile jula, mbena jwankoto, ashinkuobha, nnaino abhoneshe.’”
It was meete that we shoulde make merie, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is aliue againe: and hee was lost, but he is found.
