Ya m’Bukhu la Luka 15:1-32
15 Anyakukhomesa mtsonkho wentse na anyapikado, akhatsonkhana mwakuzungulira Jezu kuti abve mafala yace.
2 Ndipo Afarizeu pabodzi na anembi akhambang’ung’udzika kuti: “Munthuyu ambatambira bwino anyapikado ndipo ambadya nawo pabodzi.”
3 Tenepo, Jezu adawauza ciratizo ici:
4 “Mbani pakati pa imwepo acikhala na mabira 100, ndipo bira m’bodzi acitaika, angasiye lini mabira 99 kubusa,* aciyenda kukanyang’ana bira m’bodzi wakutaikayo mpaka kumugumana?
5 Ndipo akamugumana, iye ambakomedwa acim’kupika pa phewa.
6 Ndipo akafika kumui, iye ambacemera axamwali wace na omwe ambakhala nawo pafupi, aciwauza kuti: ‘Kondwani nande, thangwe ndagumana bira wangu omwe akhadataika ule.’
7 Inepano ndikukuuzani kuti: mwa njira ibodzi-bodziyi, kudzulu kun’dzakhala na cikondweso cikulu thangwe ra kukungula kwa munthu m’bodzi wa pikado, kuposa anyakulungama 99 omwe an’funikira lini kukungula.
8 “Ayai ni mkazi uponi omwe acikhala na madrakima* yace khumi, tsono ibodzi icitaika, angaleke kugasa kandiyero acipsaira m’nyumba mwace mwentse aciinyang’ana bwino-bwino mpaka kuigumana?
9 Ndipo akaigumana, iye ambacemera axamwali* wace na omwe ambakhala nawo pafupi, aciwauza kuti: ‘Kondwani nande, thangwe ndagumana drakima yangu yomwe ikhadataika ire.’
10 Mwa njira ibodzi-bodziyi, ndikukuuzani kuti: Anjo wa Mulungu ambakomedwa kwene-kwene nyapikado m’bodzi akakungula.”
11 Patsogolo pace, Jezu adati: “Munthu munango akhana wana awiri wacimuna.
12 Tsono mng’onoyo adauza pai wace kuti: ‘Pai, ndipaseniletu mbali ya utaka bwangu.’ Tenepo, paiyo adagawa utaka bwa wana awiriwo.
13 Pomwe padapita ntsiku zing’ono-ng’ono, mwana mng’ono ule adatenga bzinthu bzace bzentse aciyenda ku dziko lakutali, ndipo kumweko, iye adakhala na makhalidwe yakuipa acidzonga cuma cace centse.
14 Pomwe iye adamala kudzonga bzinthu bzace bzentse, m’dzikomo mudagwa njala ikulu, ndipo iye adayamba kubonera kwene-kwene na njalayo.
15 Iye adayenda kukapita basa kwa munthu munango wa m’dzikolo, ndipo munthuyo adamutumiza kumunda kwace kuti ambakadyese nkhumba.
16 Iye akhasirira cakudya ca nkhumbazo, tsono palibe munthu omwe akhamupasa cinthu ciri-centse.
17 “Pomwe nzeru zidamubwerera, iye adati: ‘Pai wangu ana anyabasa azinji ndipo iwo ana cakudya cizinji, tsono ine kuno ndikufa na njala!
18 Nin’bwerera kumui kwa pai wangu, ndicikawauza kuti: “Pai, ndaphonyera Mulungu* ndipo ndaphonyerambo imwepo.
19 Ndipo nin’themera lini pomwe kucemeredwa mwana wanu. Ndiwoneni ninga m’bodzi wa anyabasa wanuwa.”’
20 Tenepo, iye adayendadi kwa pai wacewo. Pomwe pai wacewo adamuwona na patali, adamubvera ntsisi ndipo adamuthamangira, acikamukumbatira* na kumumpsompsona mwa lufoyi.
21 Patsogolo pace, mwanayo adauza pai wacewo kuti: ‘Pai, ndaphonyera Mulungu ndipo ndaphonyerambo imwepo. Ndipo nin’themera lini pomwe kucemeredwa mwana wanu.’
22 Tsono pai wacewo adauza akapolo wace kuti: ‘Fulumizani! Bweresani cakubvala citali, cabwino kwene-kwene mudzamubvazike, ndipo mubvazikenimbo mphete* ku cala cace na xango ku nzayo zace.
23 Ndipo bweresanimbo kamwana kang’ombe kakunenepa bwino, mucikapha kuti tidye, ticipfatsa,
24 pakuti mwananguyu akhadafa, koma tsapano ana moyo, iye akhadataika ndipo tsapano wagumanika.’ Tenepo, iwo adayamba kukondwa.
25 “Koma pa nthawe imweyi, mkulu wace akhali kumunda, ndipo pomwe adabwerera acifika pafupi na pamuipo, iye adabva nyimbo na kubzina.
26 Tenepo, iye adacemera mtumiki m’bodzi, acimubvunza bzomwe bzikhacitika.
27 Mtumikiyo adamuuza kuti: ‘M’bale wanu wabwera, ndipo pai wanu amuphera kamwana ka ng’ombe kakunenepa bwino, thangwe iye wabwerera na moyo.’
28 Tsono iye adakalipa kwene-kwene ndipo adalamba kupita m’nyumbamo. Tenepo, pai wace adabula m’nyumbamo, acimudandaulira kuti apite.
29 Pakutawira, mwanayo adauza pai wacewo kuti: ‘Ndakuphatirani basa kwa magole mazinji ninga kapolo ndipo ndikhambakubverani. Napo bziri tenepoyo, palibe ntsiku ne na ibodziyo yomwe imwepo mudandipasambo kale kambuzi kuti ndicite phwando na axamwali wangu.
30 Tsono pomwe wandofika mwana wanuyu, omwe wadzonga cuma canu na maputa, imwepo mwamuphera kamwana kang’ombe kakunenepa bwino.’
31 Na tenepo paiyo adati: ‘Mwanangu, iwepo wakhala nande nthawe zentse, ndipo bzinthu bzangu bzentse mpsako.
32 Tsono ifepano tandofuna kucita phwando ticikondwa, thangwe m’bale wako akhadafa koma tsapano ana moyo, ndipo akhadataika, koma tsapano wagumanika.’”
