Luka 15:16-23

¹⁶Tsakasulukila kuja imibangu yawajile iwangubi, lekeni kuduhu imunu yamwing'ile ichijo.

¹⁷Tsimbutsi tsake hatsimuyile, keghutsa imwenyegho, ‘Aba wangu kana iwanu wengi we isang'ano iwakuja na kuleka ichijo, na nene nahano noghanzika kwe inzala!

¹⁸Nitsakwinuka na kuya kwa aba wangu na kumlongela, Aba, nimtendela Imulungu nzambi, na pfipfila nikutendela ghweghwe nzambi.’

¹⁹Sibamighwa bae kukemighwa imwanagho, unende niwe ka yumwe we iwanu wako we isang'ano.”

²⁰Apfo kenuka koya kwa aba wake. “Lekeni hang'ali kakutali, aba wake kamwona kamwonela libatsi; kamtsumila imwanaghe, kamkumbatila, na kamnonela.

²¹“Imwana kamlongela aba wake, ‘Aba wangu, nimtendela nzambi Imulungu na ghweghwe pfipfila. Sibamighwa bae kukemighwa mwanagho.’

²²Lekeni aba wake kawakema iwatumwa wake kawalongela, ‘Himahima! Mghalileni gholole linoghile mumpfatse. Na ipete mna ichidole chake ne imikwabatsa mmaghulu mwake.

²³Mumghale imwana we ing'ombe yanenehe. Leka tutende ichihungo na tudeng'elele.
