NWW
Linjubha limo, asumula sumu na bhanaulemwa bhoha bhakighenda kunnyihwa Yesu.
BSB
BSB:
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
2
NWW
Peni Akaafalisayo na ahunda bha malaghilo bhakinkukulikila Yesu pakalongela, “Mundu ayu kanguakingama bhanaulemwa na kangulyegha papamu nabho!”
BSB
BSB:
So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3
NWW
Ndo yesu kakiayanga kwa ndambulo ayi.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told them this parable:
4
NWW
“Handa yumoo ywenu kana mene mbinda maboko kumi na pakamanya kukita yumoo ywabhe kahobha. Hinu, katabhaleka ng'obhe bhala mbinda maboko tisa na tisa mu manyahi na kughenda kunpalaha yula ywakahobhite mbaka kakanpate?
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
NWW
Na mbole ya kunmona, katayelelwa na katanpapa mu makombi ghake,
BSB
BSB:
And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
6
NWW
na kughenda ku lubhagha lwake na kuakema aghanja bhake na agheghela na kuaghombela, ‘Nnyelelwe papamu na nenga, kiyaha nunmona mene ghwangu ywakahobhite.’
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
NWW
Ubhwabhu abhu ninguaghombela, kwaabhegha na uyelelo munu kunani kwa Chapanga kwakya yunaulemwa yumu ywakalipetula, kupitingana kwa bhandu mbinda mabhoko tisa na tisa bhanakulidumbila kukita bhene ndo bhangughatughila ghakaghapala Chapanga, na bhanga kulipetula.”
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
NWW
Yesu kakiaghombela ndambulo yingi, pakalongela, “Tulongele, nndala yumu kabha na njuluku mbinda mabhoko yimu, naywo kayihoha yimu, hinu kaatenda niki? Katakwata ng'obhe limbamba na kulupyaghila lubhagha na kuyipalaha mbaka kayibhone?
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
NWW
Na mbole ya kuyimokola, kataakema aghanja bhake na andamani bhake na kuaghombela, ‘Nnyelelwe papamu na nenga, kiyaha niyibhona yila njuluku yangu yiniihohite!’
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
NWW
Ubhwabhu abhu nunguaghombela, kwaabhegha na uyelelo muulongolo ghwa mahoka bha Chapanga kwa yunaulemwa yumu ywakalipetula na kunbhuyila Chapanga.”
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
NWW
Yesu kakighendelela kulongela, “Kukibhegha na mundu yumu ywakabheghite na bhana abhili alume.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus said,
“There was a man who had two sons.
12
NWW
Yula nndokwa kaking'ombela tate ghwake, ‘Tate, ghumbeghe kipalamande kyangu kya utopelo.’ Habhu kakiabhaghulila bhana bhake utopelo ghwake.
BSB
BSB:
The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
13
NWW
Mbole ya manjubha gha mandina, yula nndokwa kakikungana hilibhi hyoha hyakabheghite nahyo, na kakighenda kutama kunnima ghwa kutali na akwo kakighupwilingana utopelo ghwake kwa utyahe.
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
NWW
Mbole ya kuyomola kutumila hilibhi yake hyoha hyakabheghite naywo, lukibwituka lung'ahe lwa njala mu nnima ghula ghwoha, naywo kakibhegha ng'obhe na kyohele.
BSB
BSB:
After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
15
NWW
Ndo kakighenda kuyupa lihengo kwa nkolannima yumu ghwa nnima ghula naywo kakinnyegha ku nng'unda mundu aywo kualyegheha maghulubhe.
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
NWW
Nhongolo yula kakibha na njala munu na kakipalagha kulyegha manganju ghaalyeghiteghe bhala maghulubhe, kiyaha kahone mundu ywakanpeghite kilibhi.
BSB
BSB:
He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
17
NWW
Peni pakalihwachilite mumwoyo ghwake, kakilongela, ‘Bhabhegha andumindumi atangalo kwa tate ghwangu bhene angulyegha na bhanguleka mahighalo, na nenga nunguhwegha apa kwa njala!
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
NWW
Ndabhuka na kubhuya kwa tate ghwangu na kunng'ombela, Tate ndenda ulemwa kwa Chapanga kunani na nughuhokela ghwenga tate.
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
NWW
Yingunnoghela ng'obhe kukemwa mwana ghwako, ghundende handa yumoo ywa nndumindumi bhako.’
BSB
BSB:
I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
20
NWW
Hinu, kakiyinuka na kakiyanda kubhuya kwa tate ghwake.” “Peni pakabheghite kakali kutali, tate ghwake kakimmona, mwoyo ghwake ghukimemekwa luhungu, kakintughila, kakinnyubhatila kwa upalo.
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
NWW
Yula mwana kaking'ombela tate ghwake, ‘Tate, ndenda ulemwa kwa Chapanga kunani na nighuhokela ghwenga. Yingunnogha ng'obhe kukekwa mwana ghwako kangi.’
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
NWW
Peni tate ghwake kakiaghombela abhandwa bhake, ‘Munnyeghele lighwanda litandamaho linyelembite kya kuyumbatika na munhwalihe, munhwike pete mukikonji kyake na makobasi mumaghulu ghake.
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
NWW
Munnyeghe lyana lya senga ywakahatite na munhinje, ngati tubheghe na chekwa, tulyeghe na kuyelelwa.
BSB
BSB:
Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
24
NWW
Kiyaha ayu mwana ghwangu kakibhegha handa kahwegha, na hinu kangulama, kangi kakihobha, naywo kabhuya ukaya!’ Nabho bhakiyanda kutenda chekwa.”
BSB
BSB:
For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
25
NWW
“Mulisaa alyo yula mwana ghwake nkulu kakibhegha kunng'unda. Pakabheghite mukubhuya ugheghela na lubhagha lwabhe, kakiyihwa bhandu paayimba na kukina.
BSB
BSB:
Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26
NWW
Kakinkema yumoo ywa andumitumi na kakinkonya, ‘Kubhegha na niki apa?’
BSB
BSB:
So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
27
NWW
Yula ndumindumi Kakinnyanga, ‘Nnung'una ghwako kahika, naywo tate ghwako kanhinjila lyana lya senga ywakahatite kiyaha mwana ghwake kabhuya kakali kangulama.’
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
NWW
Yula mwana nkulu kakikalala na kakilema kuyingila mukitutubhi. Ndo tate ghwake kakighenda panje kunnyupa ngati kayingile munyumba.
BSB
BSB:
The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
29
NWW
Peni ywombe kakinnyanga tate ghwake, ‘Nnole! Mungungwa ahi hyoha nikighutendela lihengo na kyanga linjubha lyene linemite lilaghilo lyako, peni ghukimbegha ng'obhe nga likambako lyana lya mbuhi ngati nyelelwe papamu na aghanja bhangu.
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
NWW
Peni aywo nnung'una ghwangu mwana ghwako ywakapwilinganite utopelo ghwako kwa atyahe pakabhuyite ukaya ghwenga ghunhinjila lyana lya senga lyakahatite!’
BSB
BSB:
But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31
NWW
Tate ghwake kakinnyanga, ‘Mwana ghwangu, ghwenga ghubhegha na nenga manjubha ghoha na hyoha niibheghite nahyo ndo hyako.
BSB
BSB:
‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
32
NWW
Peni yingutunogha kuyelelwa kwa hilulu kiyaha aywo nnung'una ghwako kakihwegha hinu kahyuka, kakihobha hinu kabhuya kutama ukaya.’ ”
BSB
BSB:
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.’”
