Na mfise pete mukyala na makobasi mumagulu gyake! 23 Mumuhinje senga yeanonile, tugite lihungu na kukeduka! 24 Kwakuva uyu mwana vangu, akali ngita afuwe, nonde nde uwumi, akali ayagile na nonde awonike.’ Navo vavangile kugita lihungu.

25 "Luhungu pelikali likwendelela mwana vake mkomi akali have kumgunda. Peakali ewuya pepi na kufikila pakaye, akapulike vanu vesomola na kukina. 26 Akamkemela yumwi va vachulila, akamuhucha, ‘Kuna liki baha?’ 27 Yula mnyigendwa akamuhigile, ‘Lukolo vako awuyile kukaye, daada vako amuhinjile senga yeanonile kwakuva awuyile akiva mumi.’ 28 Uyo mdimi mkomi akavipile akalema kwingila mukaye lyao. Baho daada vake akahumile kwivala na kumsuka aingile mugati. 29 Mdimi yula akamuhigile daada vake, ‘Lole! Myaka gyonda igi ndikugundamikie na hata kigono kimwi sendilekile kuginya malagicho gyako. Unigavile liki? Seunigavile hata mene yumwi ndikagite lihungu pamwi na vaganja vangu! 30 Ila mwana vako uyu ayaganiche uhala vake pamwi na vagoni, peawuyile hela, umuhinjile senga yeanonile.’ 31 Daada vake akamuhigile, ‘Mwana vangu, veve ugehe pamwi na nene figono fyonda, finu fyonda fyendinafyo ndi fyako. 32 Ila tutakilwe tugite lihungu na kukeduka, kwakuva uyo lukolo vako akali ngita afuwe, nonde agehe mumi, akali ayagile, ila nonde awonikile.’"

Kwakuva munu yeyonda yeakujigita mkomi ivecha mdodo na yeakijigita mdodo ivecha mkomi."

Mleke ahele kuvalongela, vabahile kugita sambi, neke vabihile kwacha baha pono pamagudo.’ 29 Ibulahimu akamuhingie, ‘Ukoya kwevagehe lukolo vako, vagehe na malagicho gya Musa na Vavichi va Nguluvi, valeke vavapulike havo.’ 30 Ila mmosi akalongie, ‘Hamu, daada Ibulahimu. Ila ngita munu ichulubuka kuhuma mu inyi lya vanu vevafuwe na kuvahelelea davileka sambi na kumuwuyila Nguluvi.’ 31 Ibulahimu akamlongela, ‘Ngita sevidikila malagilicho gya Musa na vavichi va Nguluvi, sevidikila hata munu yeachulubuke kuhuma mu inyi lya vevafuwe.’"

Chipindi icho ndikuvalongela vabenaji. Mulundase tandi mitendya na mugawope filundofilundo na kunyanywa. Ila mipunga muilundase mkaivike mulusanja vangu.’"
