BSB
BSB:
So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

Then Jesus told them this parable:
4
BOU
“Inga, yumwe yenu akawa na ngoto makumi kumi, akamanya kuwa yumwe yao kaga, enda agosoe mbwai? Enda awabade wada makumi kenda na kenda uisi na kuita kumuondeza yuda ekwagaye hadi amuwone.”
BSB
BSB:
“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
BOU
Naye akabinda kumuwona, enda amwenue kwa nyemi mwe mawega yakwe.
BSB
BSB:
And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
6
BOU
Endaoabue kaya, enda awetange wambuya na wantu wa hehi yakwe na kuwamba, “Muwe na nyemi hamwe na mie kwaajii khimuwona yuda ngoto yangu ekwagaye.”
BSB
BSB:
comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
7
BOU
Nawambeni ivyoivyo, kundakuwe na nyemi muno uko uwanga kwa Muungu kwaajii ya mwenye mavigaviga yumwe kuhituka, kusima kwa wada wedi makumi kenda na kenda ambao khawakunda kubada mavigaviga.
BSB
BSB:
I tell you that in the same way 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
BOU
Yesu akawamba msimo mtuhu akamba, “Tambe mvyee yumwe ana senti kumi dimwe, akaza mwenga, enda atende mbwai? Enda awashe taa, enda aihagie ida nyumba phahoephahoe hadi aiyone.
BSB
BSB:
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
BOU
Akaipata, enda awetange wambuya na wantu wa hehi yakwe na kuwamba, ‘Kuwani na nyemi hamwe nami, kwaajii khiipata ida senti yangu yekuwayo yaga.’
BSB
BSB:
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
BOU
Nawambeni, Nee wendavyo wawe na nyemi wandima wa uko uwanga kwa Muungu kwaajii ya mwenye mavigaviga yumwe haitukae na kumuuiya Muungu.”
BSB
BSB:
In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
11
BOU

BSB

Then Jesus said,
“There was a man who had two sons.
12

BSB
BSB:
The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
13
BOU
Bada ya misi micheche, yuda mdodo akataga vintu vyake, akatamba na hea ekupatazo akaita si ya hae na hea zose akazibananga kwa wekazi wa mavigaviga.
BSB
BSB:
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
BOU
Ekubindaho kutumia kia kintu kukalawiiya saa khai mwe si ida, naye akavoka kuangadika.
BSB
BSB:
After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
15
BOU
Akaombeza ndima kwa mntu yumwe wa si ida, nae akamwegaa mwe mnda wakwe awaise nguuwe.
BSB
BSB:
So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
16
BOU
Mbwanga yuda nee ana nsaa muno, akatamiwa kuda makoa wekudayo wada nguuwe, iya khahana mntu ekumwekhaye khande.
BSB
BSB:
He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
17
BOU
Badae akamamakhanya mwe moyo wakwe, ‘Kaya kuna wandima wangi wa tate yangu wadao khande na kubada phugutio, na miye nafa na saa?’
BSB
BSB:
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
BOU
Nenda niuye kwa tate yangu na kumwamba, ‘Tate, khimgosoea mavigaviga Muungu ekuwaye uwanga na khikukoa masa na weye.
BSB
BSB:
I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
19
BOU
Khifaa hata kwetangwa mwanao, nigosoe inga yumwe wa wandima wako.’
BSB
BSB:
I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
20
BOU
Ndiho akavoka kutamba kuuya kwa tati yakwe.” “Ekuwaho yuke hae, tati yakwe ekumuonaho, na kwa moyo wa mbazi akamguukia, na kumuumbatia kwa ukundiso.
BSB
BSB:
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
BOU
Mwanawe akamwamba, ‘Tate, khimgosoea mavigaviga Muungu ekuwae uwanga, na khikukoa masa na wee, khifaa kwetangwa mwanao.’
BSB
BSB:
The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22
BOU
Akini tati yakwe akawetanga wandima wakwe akawamba, ‘Etani gwanda tana mkamvike kinyio! Mvikeni phete mwe chaa chakwe na sabana mwe miundi yakwe.
BSB
BSB:
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

Mdumueni singo ng'ombe mwe kunona, tide na kuwa na nyemi!
BSB
BSB:
Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
24

Kwaajii uyu mwanangu inga nee kauya na nyuma na isasa yu mgima, nee kaga, akini isasa khaoneka’ wakavoka kuwa na nyemi.”

For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

BSB
BSB:
Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26
BOU
Akamwetanga mndima yumwe, na kumuuza, ‘Kuna mbwai hanu?’
BSB
BSB:
So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
27
BOU
Uyo mndima akamtambaisa, ‘Nduguyo kauya kaya na tati yako kamdumuiya ng'ombe mwe kunona kwaviya kampata yuke mgima.’
BSB
BSB:
‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’
28
BOU
Uyo mwana mkuu akakimwa muno akaemea kwengia gati, ndiho tati yakwe akaawa chongoi na kumhembeeza engiye gati.
BSB
BSB:
The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
29
BOU
Akini yee akamtambaisa tati yakwe, ‘Kauwa myaka yose inu nee nikakugosoea ndima na hata msi umwe shekubada kukutegeeza mwiko, akini khuzati kunekha hata mbuzi nitamiwe na wambuya wangu.
BSB
BSB:
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
BOU
Akini mwanao uyu mwekutumia vintu vyako hamwe na wakianga, ekwezaho du kumdumuiya singo ng'ombe mwe kunona.’
BSB
BSB:
But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31

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.’”
