12 Mwana wa ng'ono alonga tenepa kuna baba wace: ‘Baba, ndipaseni cincino, phindi yanga ya unthaka.’ Na tenepo, iye aagawaniza anace awiri ene mpfuma yace.

15 Na thangwi eneyo, asaka basa kwa munthu m'bodzi wa kweneku, munthu unowu mbamuendesa kumunda kwace kuti akhadyese nkhumba.
16 Kweneko, na njala ikakhala na iye, akhafuna kuti adye pyace pikhadya nkhumba, mbwenye na penepyo pyene nkhabe akhampasa.
17 Ekha-ekha, anyerezera tenepa: ‘Mbangasi anyabasa a baba ana phoso ya kukwana, ine ndiri kuno mbandifa na njala!’
18 Ndinalamuka mbandibwerera kuna baba wanga, ndikhampange tenepa: ‘Baba, ndadawa kudzulu na kuna imwe.
19 Sidakwana kucemerwa pontho mwana wanu tayu. Nditambireni ninga m'bodzi wa nyabasa wanu.’
20 Buluka penepo alamuka mbabwerera pontho kuna baba wace. Mbali kutali, baba wace amuona. Na ntsisi zikulu na mwana wace, anthamangira mbankhumbatira na kumpsompsona.
21 Mwana alonga tenepa. ‘Baba, ndadawa kudzulu na kuna imwe. Sidakwana kuti mundicemera pontho mwana wanu.’
22 Mbwenye baba apanga anyabasa ace tenepa: ‘Cimbizani! Bweresani nguwo zadidi kakamwe mumbvazike. Muikheni mphete ibodzi n'cala mwace, mbamumbvazika ntsapato m'myendo mwace.
23 Bweresani pontho mwana ng'ombe wa kunenepa, mumuphe ticite phwandu pontho tisekere.
24 Thangwi mwana wanga uyu akhadafa, lero alamuka. Akhadataika, lero agumanika.’ Mbatoma kucita phwandu yawo.
25 Mukhacitwa penepi, mwana wa nkulu akhali ku munda. Mudabwerera iye mbafika dhuzi na pa nyumba, abva anthu ali kuimba mbakhabvina.
26 Na tenepo, acemera nyabasa m'bodzi mbambvundza kuti: ‘Ndi ninji pinacitika?’
27 Nyabasa atawira tenepa: ‘M'bale wako abwera. Baba wako apha mwana ng'ombe wa kunenepa, thangwi antambira wa m'maso pontho na manungo ace a kuwanga.’
28 Mwana wa nkulu aipirwa pikulu kakamwe, mbakhonda na kupita kwene. Na tenepo, baba wace abuluka kunja mbakhankakamiza kuti apite.
29 Mbwenye iye atawira tenepa: ‘Ndina pyaka pizinji mbandikuphatirani basa ninga bichu mbandikhonda kupwaza mwambo ubodzi wanu. Na tenepo, mudzati kundipasambo mbuzi ene ibodzi, toera ine ndicitembo phwandu na axamwali anga.
30 Mbwenye mwana wanu uyu adamala kubvunga pyanu pyonsene, na akazi anyalukwali, lero abwera, imwe mwamphera mwana ng'ombe wa kunenepa!’
31 Baba antawira tenepa: ‘Mwananga, iwe usakhala na ine ntsiku zonsene, pontho pyonsene pina ine mphyakombo.
32 Mbwenye tikhafunika ticite phwandu toera kupangiza kukomerwa kwathu. Thangwi m'bale wako uyu akhadafa, lero alamuka. Akhadataika, lero agumanika.’ ”
