1 Ngalesosikhathi kwasekubuthana kuye abathelisi lezoni ukuzokuzwa imfundiso yakhe.
Da bi, towgyefo ne nnebɔneyɛfo pii baa Yesu nkyɛn betiee no.
2 Kodwa abaFarisi labafundisi bomthetho bakhonona bathi, “Umuntu lo wemukela izoni adle lazo.”
Farisifo ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no huu eyi no, wonwiinwii kae se, “Saa ɔbarima yi gye nnebɔneyɛfo, san ne wɔn to nsa didi.”
3 UJesu wasebatshela umzekeliso lo, wathi:
Saa asɛm a wɔkaa no ma obuu wɔn bɛ bi se,
4 “Ake kuthiwe omunye wenu ulezimvu ezilikhulu besekulahleka eyodwa kuzo. Kazukuzitshiya yini lezo ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye khonale egangeni ayidinge leyo elahlekileyo aze ayithole na?
“Mo mu hena na sɛ ɔwɔ nguan ɔha na wɔn mu baako yera a, ɔrennyaw aduɔkron akron no hɔ nkokyinkyin sare so nhwehwɛ nea wayera no kosi sɛ obehu no?
5 Kuthi lapho eseyitholile ayithwale emahlombe ngokuthokoza
Na sɛ ohu no a, ɔde no abɔ ne kɔn ho, de anigye de no aba.
6 aye layo ekhaya. Abesebiza abangane bakhe labomakhelwane athi, ‘Thokozani lami; sengiyitholile imvu yami ebilahlekile.’
Na sɛ odu fie a, wafrɛfrɛ ne nnamfo ne nʼafipamfo nyinaa aka akyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Momma yennye yɛn ani, efisɛ mahu me guan a ɔyerae no.’
7 Ngilitshela ukuthi ngaleyondlela kuzakuba lokuthokoza ezulwini ngokuphenduka kwesoni esisodwa okudlula labobantu abalungileyo abangamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lasificamunwemunye abangakudingiyo ukuphenduka.”
Saa ara nso na sɛ ɔdebɔneyɛni baako sakra nʼadwene a, ɔsorofo nyinaa ani gye sen sɛ atreneefo aduɔkron akron wɔ hɔ a adwensakra ho nhia wɔn no.
8 “Kumbe kuthi owesifazane elenhlamvu zesiliva ezilitshumi kulahleke uhlamvu olulodwa. Kalumathisi yini isibane, athanyele endlini, adingisise kuhle aze aluthole na?
“Anaasɛ ɔbea bɛn na sɛ ne sika mpɔw du mu baako yera a, ɔrensɔ kanea mprapra ne dan mu, nhwehwɛ kosi sɛ obehu.
9 Kuthi eselutholile abize abangane bakhe labomakhelwane, athi kubo, ‘Thokozani lami; sengilutholile uhlamvu lwami lwesiliva obelulahlekile.’
Na sɛ ohu a, ɔremfrɛfrɛ ne nnamfo ne nʼafipamfo nyinaa nka nkyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Momma yɛn ani nnye, efisɛ mahu me sika mpɔw a ɛyerae no.’
10 Ngiyalitshela ukuthi ngaleyondlela kulokuthokoza phambi kwezingilosi zikaNkulunkulu ngokuphenduka kwesoni esisodwa.”
Saa ara nso na sɛ ɔdebɔneyɛni baako sakra nʼadwene a, Onyankopɔn abɔfo ani gye ara ne no.”
11 UJesu waqhubeka wathi: “Kwakukhona indoda eyayilamadodana amabili.
Yesu san buu wɔn ɔyera ho bɛ bi se, “Ɔbarima bi wɔ hɔ a na ɔwɔ mmabarima baanu.
12 Encinyane yathi kuyise, ‘Baba, ngipha esami isabelo selifa.’ Ngakho uyise wabehlukanisela impahla yakhe bobabili.
Wɔn mu akumaa no ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya no se, ‘Mʼagya, fa me kyɛfa a mewɔ wɔ wʼagyapade mu no ma me!’ Ɔbarima no kyɛɛ nʼagyapade mu de ne ba no kyɛfa maa no.
13 Ngemva kwesikhatshana indodana encane yabutha konke okungokwayo yasuka yaya elizweni elikhatshana, yafika khonale yayichitha inotho yayo ngempilo yokuxhwala.
“Nna tiaa bi akyi no, ne ba kumaa yi boaboaa nʼahode nyinaa ano tuu kwan kɔɔ akyirikyiri asase bi so kɔbɔɔ ahohwi bra hweree nʼahode nyinaa.
14 Isitshaye yachitha konke, kwaba lendlala enkulu kulolonke ilizwe, yasiswela kakhulu.
Ɛno akyi no, ɔkɔm kɛse bi baa asase no so maa ne ho kyeree no.
15 Yasisiyadinga umsebenzi komunye umuntu wakulelolizwe owayisa esiqintini sakhe ukuyagcina ingulube.
Ɛbaa saa no, ɔde ne ho kɔdan kuroni bi a ɔma ɔkɔhwɛɛ ne mprako so.
16 Yabona kungcono kuyo ukuthi ixotshe iphango ngokudla okwakudliwa zingulube, kodwa kayizange iphiwe lutho langubani.
Ɔwɔ hɔ no, ɔkɔm dee no maa ne kɔn dɔɔ sɛ anka obenya aduan a mprako no di no bi mpo adi, nanso wannya.
17 Kwathi lapho ingqondo yayo isicabanga kuhle, yathi, ‘Kambe zingaki izinceku zikababa ezidla zizezitshiye kodwa nanku mina ngifa ngendlala!
“Nʼani baa ne ho so no, ɔkae se, ‘Apaafo a wɔwɔ mʼagya fi didi mee, ma bi ka ma wɔtow gu. Adɛn na mete ha na ɔkɔm rekum me yi!
18 Ngizasuka ngibuyele kubaba ngifike ngithi kuye: Baba, ngenze isono phambi kwezulu lakuwe.
Mɛsɔre akɔ mʼagya nkyɛn na maka akyerɛ no se, Agya, mayɛ ɔsoro ne wo bɔne,
19 Kangisafanelanga ukuthiwa ngiyindodana yakho; ngenza ngibe njengomunye wezinceku zakho.’
na memfata sɛ wɔfrɛ me wo ba bio; fa me yɛ wʼapaafo no mu baako.’
20 Ngakho yaphakama yaya kuyise. Kodwa yathi isesebucwala uyise wayibona wayizwela isihawu; wagijimela kuyo indodana yakhe, wayigona, wayanga.
Osii mu sɛ ɔresan aba nʼagya nkyɛn. “Ɔnam kwan so akyirikyiri reba no, nʼagya no huu no, enti ɔde ayamhyehye yɛɛ ntɛm kohyiaa no, bam no, yɛɛ no atuu.
21 Indodana yathi kuye, ‘Baba, ngenze isono phambi kwezulu lakuwe. Kangisafanelanga ukuthiwa ngiyindodana yakho.’
“Aberante yi ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya no se, ‘Agya, mayɛ ɔsoro ne wo bɔne, na memfata sɛ wofrɛ me wo ba bio.’
22 Kodwa uyise wathi ezincekwini zakhe, ‘Phangisani! Lethani isembatho esihle ukwedlula ezinye limgqokise. Lifake indandatho emunweni wakhe, limgqokise lamanyathela ezinyaweni zakhe.
“Nʼano ansi koraa na nʼagya no frɛɛ nʼasomfo ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, ‘Monka mo ho nkɔfa ntama pa mmefura no na monhyɛ no pɛtea ne mpaboa a ɛyɛ fɛ.
23 Beseliletha ithole elinonisiweyo lilihlabe. Asenzeni idili sithokoze.
Afei munkokum nantwi ba a wadɔ srade no mfa nyɛ aduan, na yennidi, nnom, nnye yɛn ani,
24 Ngoba indodana yami le yayisifile, kodwa isiphila njalo; yayilahlekile manje isifunyenwe.’ Waqalisa manje umkhosi wokujabula.
efisɛ na misusuw sɛ me ba yi awu, sɛɛ na ɔte ase; ɔyerae, nanso wasan aba.’ Wofii ase gyee wɔn ani.
25 Sonke lesisikhathi indodana endala yayisensimini. Yathi isibanga endlini yezwa kuhlatshelelwa njalo kugidwa.
“Ne ba panyin a na ofi afum reba no duu afikyiri no, ɔtee nnwonto ne ahurusidi wɔ fie hɔ.
26 Yasibiza omunye wezinceku yambuza ukuthi kwakusenzakalani.
Ɛno nti ɔfrɛɛ asomfo no mu baako bisaa no nea ɛrekɔ so wɔ fie hɔ.
27 Waphendula wathi, ‘Umfowenu usebuyile, ngakho uyihlo usemhlabele ithole elinonisiweyo ngoba ubuye ephilile, ephelele.’
Ɔsomfo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Wo nua no asan aba a biribiara anyɛ no enti, wʼagya akum nantwi ba a wadɔ srade no ama no.’
28 Umnewabo wazonda kakhulu, wala ukungena ngekhaya. Uyise wasephuma esiya kuye ukuyamncenga.
“Ɔtee saa no, ne bo fuwii, enti ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrenkɔ fie hɔ. Nʼagya tee no, ofii adi baa ne nkyɛn bɛsrɛɛ no.
29 Kodwa waphendula uyise wathi, ‘Khangela! Iminyaka yonke le bengikusebenzela kanzima njalo kangizange ngeqe imilayo yakho. Kodwa kawuzange ungiphe lokulizinyane kodwa lokhu ukuthi lami kengithokoze labangane bami.
Ne ba no de awerɛhow buaa no se, ‘Agya, masom wo mfe dodow yi nyinaa a nea wobɛka biara mitie, nanso wommaa me oguan ba mpo da sɛ minkum na me ne me nnamfonom mfa nnye yɛn ani.
30 Kodwa lokhu kuthi nxa indodana yakho le esitshaye yathintitha inotho yakho lezifebe, isibuyile ekhaya uyihlabele ithole elinonisiweyo!’
Nanso wo ba a ɔkɔbɔɔ ahohwi no bae yi de, woakum nantwi ba a wadɔ srade no ama no.’
31 Uyise wathi, ‘Ndodana yami, uhlezi ulami sonke isikhathi njalo konke engilakho ngokwakho.
“Nʼagya buaa no se, ‘Me ba, me ne wo na ɛte ha. Biribiara a mewɔ nso yɛ wo dea.
32 Kodwa bekufanele sithokoze sijabule ngoba umfowenu lo wayesefile, manje usephila njalo; ubelahlekile, usefunyenwe.’”
Ɛsɛ sɛ yegye yɛn ani, efisɛ na misusuw sɛ wo nua yi awu, sɛɛ na ɔte ase; ɔyerae, nanso wasan aba.’”
