Mwana wátota amana wumoniki

11 Yesu kázimbula hika: «Mutu mosi wákala yi bana bodi ba bayakala. 12 Amana wuna wa muleki kuluta wázimbula kwena tata wandi: "Tata, pheka ndambu ya kimvwama yina pfwani yibonga." Hanga tata wukabisi kuvwa kwandi kwena bawu. 13 Amana kunima koma ka bilumbu, mwana wuna wa muleki, wábalula mu makuta bima byosu bina kakala byawu, amana wénda ku tsi yimosi ya kyana. Kwakuna, wázanga kimvwama kyandi mu luzingu lwa kisaka-saka. 14 Buna kámanisa byosu, nzala ya lawu yákota muna tsi meni yana, amana wáyandika kukonda mu byosu. 15 Wádikotisa ku kisalu kya mutu mosi, wa ku tsi meni yayina, wámutuma muna bilanga byandi mu kuhungula bangulu. 16 Amana kázola bwabuna ndangu kayukutaka mu bibundu bina bakala dya bangulu, kaasi keti mutu kámuhekabyoku. 17 Muna kati dya yandi meni, kádizimbwala: "Bakwa, basadi ba tata wama, benina yi mapha malutuki, amana meni, haha, mbati fwa ku nzala? 18 Yitélama, yikwénda kwena tata wama amana yimúzimbwala: Tata, yísumuka ku thwala Nzambi yi ku thwala ngeyi. 19 Pfwaniku hika mu kuthela mwana waku. Mbongila hanga mosi wa basadi baku." 20 Amana wátelama mu kukwenda kwena tata wandi.

«Buna kákala kuna kyana, tata wandi mumoni amana wuyuki kiwayi kya lawu: wénda thinu, wámubumbakana amana wámuyamba phi. 21 Mwana kámuzimbwala: "Tata, yísumuka ku thwala Nzambi yi ku thwala ngeyi. Pfwaniku hika kukala hanga mwana waku wa kubuta." 22 Kaasi tata wázimbula kwena basadi bandi: "Natenu tswatsu mvwela yina yiluti bukheti amana muvwatisenuya; musyenu ndamba yimosi kuna mulembu yi tsabatu kuna malu. 23 Natenu mwana ngombi wa senga, muhondenu phi; tudyenu, twata mukinzi, 24 mukuma, mwana wama yandu kadikini wafwa, amana wuvutwakidi luzingu; kákadiki wátota, amana wusengumuki." Amana báyandika kuta mukinzi.

25 «Kinga, mwana wa tsomi, ku bilanga kákala. Buna kávutuka, amana wátula bela-bela yi nzu, wáyuka kizamba yi makinu. 26 Wátela mosi wa basadi mu kumuhyula mambu mana mákala luta. 27 Amana yandu wámuzimbwala: "Myaki waku wuvutuki, amana tata waku wumuhondisidi mwana ngombi wa mafuta, kikuma kamuvutwakidi yi lutu lwa ngolu." 28 Kaasi mbuta wáfunga khabu; kázolaku kukota. Tata wandi wálubuka mu kumubokwadila. 29 Hanga wuvutudi kwena tata wandi: "Mvula za lawu kedi tsadi kikuma kya ngeyi hanga musadi, yisalaku kolama ku mitsiku myaku. Amana wasalaku pheka keti mwana phunda ndangu yita mukinzi yi banduku bama. 30 Kaasi tangwa kisi vutuka, mwana waku yandu wénda fwasa kuvwa kwaku yi bakhetu ba bandumba; kikuma kya yandi wumuhondisidi mwana ngombi wa mafuta!" 31 Tata wámuzimbwala: "Ngeyi, mwana wama, wenina bilumbu byosu yi meni, amana kyosu kyenina kya meni, kyenina phi kya ngeyi. 32 Kaasi bulungiki twata bukheti mukinzi yi kusangwala, mukuma myaki waku yandu wumoni, kákadiki wafwa, amana wuvutwakidi luzingu; kákadiki watota amana wusengumuki!"»

Nzambi, yikuvutwadi matondu kikuma yeku hanga bayakala bahika, bena befi yi batu bakonda sungama, bita-mbongi; holo hanga kalaki ka phaku yandi. 12 Yisi zila kudya, mbala zodi muna phosa, yisi futa kimosi kya kumi kya bima byama byosu." 13 Kalaki ka phaku, yandi, kákala watelama kuna kyana; kálendaku kuvumbula mesu ku zilu, kaasi kákala bunda hana thulu yi kuzonzaka: "Ah! Nzambi, ngyukila kyadi, musumuki yenina." 14 Kyedika yiluzimbwadibwa, yandu-yandu wákulumuka hika ku nzu yandi, mu ndonga yi Nzambi; kaasi ka wuna ku mukwawu.

Buthwena bwabu, kwaku, yandi kena walembwa, kaasi ngeyi wubati nyokuka. 26 Amana mu byana byosu, mbenga mosi ya mbuta basya ha kati dya betu yi benu, ndangu bana bazóla kuluta tuka kwaku yi kuna lwena benu, balendaku salabwa; amana ni balábukaku phi tuka kuna lwena benu yi kwena betu." 27 Mvwama wázimbula: "Yikubokwadidi ngeyi tata mu kutuma Lasalu muna nzu ya tata wama; 28 mukuma yena yi baphangi batanu.
