Luka 15:7-14

⁷Uchocho, na mwenu nìnnyaulilanga kuva, uvila njo chivambehangalala aneko kulihunde ing'anya ya nkútenda masambi yumo alekîle kutenda masambi. Vàmbennyangalalila namene aneyo munu kupunda vanu tisini na tisa valyôna kuva vambone, na vakálembelewa kuleka masambi.”

⁸“Dachi, ikàva mmahe yumo àvele na dihela kumi dya nnyoyo, nkunnyahika imo, àmbetenda dachi? Àmbechacha chibatali, apyaile ing'ande yammalele waitaha mpaka ayone.

⁹Akàyona aneyo hela, àmbevachema ayanjavake na avandikani mwave na kuvahaulila kuchidoni, ‘Hangalala pamo na nangu ing'anya hela yangu inayahike ǹniyona!’

¹⁰Uchocho na mwenu nìnnyaulilanga kuva, uvila njo chivahangalala malaika va Nnungu ing'anya ya munu yumo alekîle masambi.”

¹¹Yesu nkuhweneha kuvahaulila kuchidoni, “Pávele na munu yumo ánavele na vana vavili vachilume.

¹²Ayula mwana n'joko nkunnyaulila atatake kuchidoni, ‘Atata, ning'e mapala langu.’ Bahi atata wavo nkuvayavanyija.

¹³Palapite maduva kadiki, ayula n'joko nkusumisanga mapala lake lammalele nkuuka kuhwena chilambo cha kulehu, aneko nkudyondonga dihela dyake kwa maisha la uwaamba.

¹⁴Pamalidile kila chinu chanavenacho, nkuhaloka indala ing'ulungwa nchilambo achila chammalele, nanang'e nkulindamuka kubanika.
