1 Lisu'ba limo, alonga koli na bene sambi baingi baayi'i kumpi'kania Yesu. 2 Mafalisayo na balimu ba salya baatumbwi ku'ku'li'ka, “Munninguli mundu yu'! Aakemya bene sambi, no lya nabo nkungu gumo.” 3 Yesu 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. 5 Mana amweni, alu'a kumpu'twa palipamba kwo napusika. 6 Paaika kasake, aakema mambwigalye na kwabakia, ‘Munapusike pamope na nenga kwa mwanjaa yu'lu' ngondolo ywangu' ywaobite nimweni.’ ” 7 Yesu 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. 9 Mana aibweni, aakema mambwiga na bandu ba papipi nakwe no baya, ‘Munapusike pamope na nenga kwa mwanjaa niibweni yi'lu' ela yangu' yayaobite.’ 10 Na mwenga nendakummakia, ngamo baanapusika malaika ba Nnu'ngu' kwa kummona mwene sambi yumo kammuyangania Nnu'ngu'.”

11 Yesu aayendeli longela, “Kwai na mundu yumo aabile na bana abi'li' analu'me. 12 Yu'lu' nnuna aabakie tati' bake, ‘Tati', mumbei ulisi wangu'.’ Nembe ayi'ki'ti kwabagana mali yake. 13 Gaapite 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. 14 Payomwi tumya kila kikowe, kwapitike njala ngali' kunni'ma wu'lu', nembe ngatumbwa auka kwo pala kilyo. 15 Aalu'bike kibalua kwa mundu yumo ywa kunni'ma wo, nembe aampei lyengo lyo kwapeya yakulya magu'be kunng'unda wake. 16 Aminyikiage ata lya makabanda gabalyage magu'be mwanjaa, aabile ntu'pu' mundu ywa kumpeya kilyo sosoti. 17 Paapatike malango aatigania, ‘Mboni kwa tati' bangu' kubile na apangakasi baingi babalya no igaya, nenga niwaa njala? 18 Nilu'a buyangania kwa tati' bangu' na kwabakia, Tati', ninkosile Nnu'ngu' na mwenga. 19 Nili'nganili ata kemelwa na mwana winu. Munipange kati yumo ywa apangakasi binu.’ 20 Bai, 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.’ 22 Lakini tati' bake ngaabakia apangakasi bake, ‘Kiyu'ngu'ya! Mulete ngu'bo inannoga mukang'walike! Mung'walike lupete na ilatu. 23 Musinje likinda lyalinenipe tulye no panga si'li'ku'si'li'ku'! 24 Kwa mwanjaa ayu' mwana wangu' aatewaa, kumbe balo mwu'mi, aateoba, lakini nambi'yambi' abonekine.’ Batumbwi si'li'ku'si'li'ku'.

25 “Pagapangikage go, nku'we aai anagobwali bu'ka kunng'unda. Paabile mundi'la kaegelya pansengo, ngayu'wa ilulu na ngoma. 26 Ankemite mpangakasi yumo na kunnaluya, ‘Kubile na namani?’ 27 Aywo mpangakasi, aatikunnyangwa, ‘Nnunago agobwile na tati' binu bansinjili likinda lyalinenipe, kwa mwanjaa amweni abile salama salimini.’ 28 Aywo nku'we ngausika, aakani ata yingya nnyumba. Tati' bake pabaapiti panja na kuntebeya ayingi nnyumba. 29 Lakini ywembe annyangwi, ‘Linga! Myaka yoti nitekuntumikia kati nammanda winu, nati'kwanali amuli yinu ata lisu'ba limo! Munipei namani? Munanipeyali ata likinda lya mbwi yumo, nani nipange si'li'ku'si'li'ku' na mambwiga bangu'! 30 Lakini mwana winu yu', ywalile mali yinu kwo nyamana li'no isa bai munsinjile li'lu' likinda lyalinenipe!’ 31 Tati' bake batikunnyangwa, ‘Wamwana wangu', wenga ubile pamope na nenga masu'ba goti na kila sanibile naso sako. 32 Twaapalikwe tupange si'li'ku'si'li'ku' no napusika, kwa mwanjaa ayu' nnunago aatewaa, kumbe balo mwu'mi, aateoba, lakini nambi'yambi', abonekine.’ ”
