Munichite ngati mmojhi wa mbowa zanu.’ 20 Ndiipo wadayamba ulendo wopita kwa atate wake. Nambho yapo wadali wakali patali, atate wake adamuona, adamlengela lisungu. Adamthamangila mwana wao ni kumkhumbatila kwa chisangalalo. 21 Mwana yujha wadaakambila atate wake, ‘Atate, nakuchimwilani imwe ni Mnungu. Sinifunikanjho kutanidwa mwana wanu.’ 22 Nambho atate wake adaakambila mbowa zake, ‘Pita chisanga katenge njhalu yabwino mumveke! Mvekeni pete ni malapasi ya mtengo waukulu! 23 Mkamtenge njinda ya ng’ombe wonona tichinje, tichite phwando ni tidye! 24 Chifuko mwanawangayu wadamwalila, nambho chipano wali wamoyo, wadataika, nambho wapatikana.’ Ndiipo adayamba kuchita phwando."

25 "Ndhawi imeneyo, mwana wamkulu yujha wadali wakali kumunda. Yapo wamabwela ni kuwandikila pakhomo pao, wadavela nyimbo ni ng’oma ni zibulidwa. 26 Wadamtana mmojhi wa mbowa ni kumfunjha, ‘Bwanji, kuli chiyani?’ 27 Yujha mbowa wadamuyangha, ‘Mphwako wabwela pakhomo, ni atate wako ampha njinda wonona ndande yake amlandila mphako wakali wamoyo.’ 28 Nambho mwana wamkulu yujha wadakwiya ni wadakana kulowa mnyumba. Ndiipo atate wake adatuluka kubwalo ni kumpempha kupunda. 29 Nambho iye wadayangha atate wake, ‘Vechelani! Nakutumikilani vyaka vonjhevi ni palibe siku ilo nakana kuchita icho munilamula, nambho simudanipachepo ata kamwana ka mbuzi kuti nichite phwando niachabwenji langa! 30 Nambho mwana wanu uyu uyo wawananga chuma chanu ni mahule, yapo wabwela pakhomo mwamphela njinda ya ng’ombe!’ 31 Atate wake adamuyangha, ‘Mwana wanga, iwe uli pamojhi nane masiku yonjheya, ni vindhu vonjhe ivo nilinavo ni vako. 32 Chimwecho, imafunika tichite phwando ni kukondwela, ndande mbale wakoyu wadamwalila, nambho chipano wali wamoyo ni wadataika nambho chipano wapatikana.’ "
