11 Yesu kagendelela kulonga, "Kukala na munhu imoja yakalile na wana wabili. 12 Ija imdodo kamulongela tatake, ‘Tata, nigwelele uhazi wangu sambi.’ Avo munhu ija kawagolela uhazi wao wanage awo wabili. 13 Hazibitile siku nyingi, ija imdodo kachuuza uhazi wake. Abaho kafunga mwanza na sente ziyapatile, kachola isi ya kutali, ako kazinanga sente zose ziyapatile. 14 Kamambukiza kila kinhu kiyakalile nacho. Abaho lufilili lwa nzala lulawilila mwiisi ija, nayo kakala kabule kinhu chochose kisigale. 15 Avo kachola kusang’hana kibaluwa kwa munhu imoja wa isi ija, munhu ayo kamtuma mumgunda wake yasusile nguluwe. 16 Kakala kosulukila kuja maganda gawadile nguluwe, lakini kuduhu munhu yamgwelele kinhu chochose chakuja. 17 Abaho kagelegeza na kulonga, ‘Tatangu kana wasang’hanaji wengi, oja mbaka osigaza na niye hano nofa na nzala! 18 Nosegela na kuchola kwa tatangu na kumulongela, Tata, nimtenda Imulungu nzambi, na vivija nikutendela gweye nzambi. 19 Sifaya kukemigwa mwanago. Nhende kamba imoja wa wasang’hanaji zako.’ 20 Avo kafunga mwanza wa kubwela kwa tatake.

"Viyakalile yang’hali kutali, tatake kamona. Kamonela bazi mwanage, avo kamkimbilila, kamuhagatila na kamnonela. 21 Mwanage kamulongela, ‘Tata, nimtenda Imulungu nzambi, na vivija nikutendela gweye. Sifaya kukemigwa mwanago.’ 22 Lakini tatake kawakema wasang’hanaji zake. Kawalongela, ‘Lopoleni! Galeni kiwalo kinogile mumvaze. Mvazeni pete mkidole chake na vilatu mmagulu gake. 23 Abaho choleni mdigale bofu da ng’ombe dinonile mudichinje, wose tuje na kudeng’helela! 24 Kwavija mwanangu ino kakala yafile lakini sambi mgima. Kakala yapotele lakini sambi koneka.’ Avo wasonga kudeng’helela.

25 "Kipindi acho mwanage imkulu kakala kumgunda. Viyakalile behi na ing’anda, kahulika nyila na wanhu ocheza. 26 Avo kamkema msang’hanaji imoja, kamuuza, ‘Ako kuna choni?’ 27 Msang’hanaji ayo kamwidika, ‘Mdodo wako kabwela ukae, na tatako kamchinjila bofu da ng’ombe dinonile, kwavija kabwela mgima!’

28 "Ija imwana mkulu kagevuzika ng’hani, avo kalema kwingila mng’anda. Tatake kalawa kunze na kumpula yengile mng’anda. 29 Lakini kamwidika tatake, ‘Lola, miyaka yose ino niye nokusang’hanila kamba msang’hanaji, na silemile lagizo jako jojose. Kungwaa choni? Hunigwelele hata mbuzi nideng’helele na mbwiga zangu! 30 Lakini mwanago ino kananga vinhu vako mbuli ya ugoni, na viyabwelile ukae kumchinjila bofu da ng’ombe dinonile!’ 31 Tatake kamwidika, ‘Mwanangu, kipindi chose kukala na niye, na vinhu vose vinilinavo vako. 32 Lakini tolondigwa tudeng’helele na kusekelela, kwavija mdodo wako kakala yafile lakini sambi mgima, kakala yapotele lakini sambi koneka!’ "
