Luke 15 (KIZ) · Opened

1Basi bhatoza ushuru bhoha ni bhangi bhenye dhambi bhahidili kwa Yesu ni kump'elekesya.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Mafarisayo ni bhaandishi bhanung'uniki bhakajobha, “Munu ojho akabhakaribisya bhenye dhambi na ilya nabhu.”So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Yesu akajobha mfano obho kwa bhene, akajobhaThen Jesus told them this parable:

4“Niani kwa muenga, kama ajhe ni kondoo mia moja ni akajhaghayi mmonga bhabhi akabhaleka bhala tisini na tisa mu nyika, ni kulota kulonda jhola jha ajhaghili hadi ambonayi?“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?

5Ni mwene akamalayi kun'kabha akambeka mumabega pa muene ni kufurahela.And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

6Bhoafikili mu nyumba, akabhakuta marafiki zake ni majirani bha muene akabhajobhela muhobhokayi pamonga ni nene, kwa kujha nikabhili kondoo jha akajhag'heli.'comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7Nikabhajobhela mebhu kubetakujha ni furaha kumbinguni kwandabha jhe mwenye dhambi mmonga jhaitubu, zaidi jha bhenye haki tisini na tisa ambabho bhajhelepi ni hajha jha kutubu.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.

8Aajhe n'dala gani mwenye sarafu kumi sya hela, akajha ghibhwayi ni sarafu jhimonga, ibetakubhwasya lepi taa ni kufyaghila nyumba ni kulonda kwa bidii hadi paibetakujhikabha?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?

9Na akamalayi kujhibhona akabhakuta marafiki zake ni majirani zake kubhajobhela muhobhokayi pamonga ni nene, kwa kujha nijhikabhili kabhele sarafu jha nijhasili.And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Hata hivyo nikabhajobhela kujhe ni furaha palongolo pa malaika bha K'yara kwa ndabha jha mwenye dhambi mmonga jha ibeta kutubu.In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Ni Yesu akajobha, “Munu mmonga ajhe ni bhana bhabheleThen Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12y'ola n'debe akan'jobhela dadimunu, Dadi nipelayi sehemu jha mali jhanistahili kujhirithi. Hivyo agawenye mali sya muene kati jha bhene.The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13Magono mingilepi n'debe jhola akabhonganiya fyohe fyeimiliki akalota nchi jha patali, ni okhu akatapanya mali ni hela sya muene, kwa kuhemela fenu fyefilondekeghe lepi, ni kutabhwanya hela sya muene kwa anasa.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14Ni muene bho atumili fyoha njala mbaha jhajhingili mu nchi jhela ni muene akajhanda kujha mu uhitaji.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Akalota ni kujiajiri muene kwa mmonga ghwa raia bhwa nchi jhela, ni muene akampeleke kun'gonda kulisya maghorobhi.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16Na akajha inoghela kwishibisya kwa, maganda ghaghalijheghe maghorobhi kwandabha ajhelepi munu jha ampelili khenu kyokyoha khela abhwesya kulya.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17Ila jhola muana n'debe bho azingatili mu muoyo bhwa muene, ajobhili 'Ni bhatumishi bhalenga bha dadijhangu bhajhe ni kyakulya kingi kya kutosha ni nene nijhe apa nifwa ni njala!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!

18Nibhoka ni kulota kwa dadijhangu, ni kun'jobhela, “Dadi nikukosili juu jha mbingu ni palongolo pa mihu jhobhi.I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19Nikastahili lepi kukutibhwa mwanabhu kabhele; nifwanyajhi kama mmonga ghwa bhatumishi bha jhobhi.”I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20Ndipo akabhoka akalota kwa dadi munu. Bho ajhe patali dadi munu ambwene akambonela huruma akalota mbio ni kun'kumbatila ni kumbusu.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.

21Mwana jhola akan'jobhela, “dadi nikosili juu jha mbingu ni palongolo pa mihu gha bhebhe nikastahili lepi kukutibhwa mwanabhu.'The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22Dadi munu jhola abhajobhili bhatumishi bha muene, muliletayi livazi lyalijhele linofu, mukamfwekayi mufwatikayi ni pete mu kikonji ni filatu mu magolo.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.

23Kisha mundetayi jhola jhaanenipi mukan'chinjayi tulieyi ni kuhobhoka.Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

24Kwa kujha mwanabhangu afuili ni muene ajhe hai. Ajhele ajhaghili ni muene abhonekene bhakajhanda kushangilila.For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

25Basi jhola mwanamunu mbaha ajhele kun'gonda. Bho ihida ni kukaribila pa nyumba ap'eliki ny'embu ni michezo.Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26Akan'kuta mtumishi mmonga ni kun'kota mambo agha maana yake kiki?So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27Mtumishi akan'jobhela mbenabhu ahidili ni dadi waku an'chinjili litoli jha anonili kwandabha akerebhuiki kinofu.'‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28Mwana mbaha akadada akabela kujhingila mgati ni dadimunu akahoma kwibhala kumsihi. Ila akan'jibu dadimunu akajobha, 'LangayiThe older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29nene nikutumikili kwa miaka ghimehele, wala nikosilepi amri jha jhobhi, unipelili lepi mwana mene, ili nisherehekelayi ni marafiki zangu.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.

30Lakini bho ahidili ojho mwanabhu jhaa tapenye mali gha jhobhi ghoha pamonga ni makahaba un'chinjili litoli lya linenepi.But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31Dadimunu akan'jobhela, 'Mwanabhangu, bhebhe ujhele pamonga ni nene magono ghoha ni fyoha fyanijhe nafu ndo fyajhobhi.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32Ila jhajhele kinofu kwa tete kubhomba sherehe ni kubhoka, ndongobhu ojho afuili, ni henu muomi; ajhele ajhele ajhaghili ni muene abhonekene.”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.’”
