Luka 15:1-23

¹Lisu'ba limo, alonga koli na bene sambi baingi baayi'i kumpi'kania Yesu.

²Mafalisayo na balimu ba salya baatumbwi ku'ku'li'ka, “Munninguli mundu yu'! Aakemya bene sambi, no lya nabo nkungu gumo.”

³Yesu aayangwi kwa lukongo,

⁴“Ati', mundu yumo kati yinu mana abile na ngondolo mya, mana aobite yumo, alu'a panga buli? Aaleka balu' tisini na kenda mmwitu, no yenda kumpala yu'lu' ywaobite mpaka ammone.

⁵Mana amweni, alu'a kumpu'twa palipamba kwo napusika.

⁶Paaika kasake, aakema mambwigalye na kwabakia, ‘Munapusike pamope na nenga kwa mwanjaa yu'lu' ngondolo ywangu' ywaobite nimweni.’”

⁷Yesu aayendeli longela, “Mwenga nendakumakia, kwalu'a baa na pulaa kunani kwa mundu yumo mwene sambi buyangania kwa Nnu'ngu', kulikoni bandu tisini na kenda bene aki bapalilwali kummuyangania Nnu'ngu'.”

⁸“Au' mwibona buli? Tubaye nnwawa nsi'si' abi na ela ku'mi ya mapeni, mana aobiye yimo, alu'a panga buli? Alu'a koya lumuli na kwipyagya nyumba yoti ku'no kalolekeya mpaka aibone.

⁹Mana aibweni, aakema mambwiga na bandu ba papipi nakwe no baya, ‘Munapusike pamope na nenga kwa mwanjaa niibweni yi'lu' ela yangu' yayaobite.’

¹⁰Na mwenga nendakummakia, ngamo baanapusika malaika ba Nnu'ngu' kwa kummona mwene sambi yumo kammuyangania Nnu'ngu'.”

¹¹Yesu aayendeli longela, “Kwai na mundu yumo aabile na bana abi'li' analu'me.

¹²Yu'lu' nnuna aabakie tati' bake, ‘Tati', mumbei ulisi wangu'.’ Nembe ayi'ki'ti kwabagana mali yake.

¹³Gaapite masu'ba bai, yu'lu' nnuna aapi'miye ulisi wake no yabwa mwanja wa nni'ma wa kuutalu na yi'lu' mbanje yaapatike. Akwo, aatikwinyamana yi'lu' mbanje.

¹⁴Payomwi tumya kila kikowe, kwapitike njala ngali' kunni'ma wu'lu', nembe ngatumbwa auka kwo pala kilyo.

¹⁵Aalu'bike kibalua kwa mundu yumo ywa kunni'ma wo, nembe aampei lyengo lyo kwapeya yakulya magu'be kunng'unda wake.

¹⁶Aminyikiage ata lya makabanda gabalyage magu'be mwanjaa, aabile ntu'pu' mundu ywa kumpeya kilyo sosoti.

¹⁷Paapatike malango aatigania, ‘Mboni kwa tati' bangu' kubile na apangakasi baingi babalya no igaya, nenga niwaa njala?

¹⁸Nilu'a buyangania kwa tati' bangu' na kwabakia, Tati', ninkosile Nnu'ngu' na mwenga.

¹⁹Nili'nganili ata kemelwa na mwana winu. Munipange kati yumo ywa apangakasi binu.’

²⁰Bai, ngatumbwa mwanja wo buyangania kwa tati' bake. Kaegelya pakaya tati' pabamweni mwana, bammi'ki kiya, ngabammutukya kunkumbatya na kunnonia.

²¹“Mwana aabakie tati' bake, ‘Tati', ninkosile Nnu'ngu' na mwenga. Nili'nganili ata kemelwa na mwana winu.’

²²Lakini tati' bake ngaabakia apangakasi bake, ‘Kiyu'ngu'ya! Mulete ngu'bo inannoga mukang'walike! Mung'walike lupete na ilatu.

²³Musinje likinda lyalinenipe tulye no panga si'li'ku'si'li'ku'!
