11 Yinsa khurutela theenya yoori: “Aarivo mwinyi mmote aariina aanaawe awiri. 12 Otu nttiitthi aya khumuuza papaawe yoori: ‘Paapa, mwikinkhe lifunku la erathi yaka.’ Papaawe khuwaawanyela maali epile aanaawe.

13 Oviriyeevo wakathi vattitthiiru, mwaana otule nttiitthi khuthuula maali zawe epile aawanyeliweezo khulawa tuniya kiina ya woolepawo. Ottuukho khuharipu maali zawe epile khwa mwentto woololo. 14 N'ooharipu zooshi khupuwa jala ya waatta mmuti mwaya mphule, ye khusala ahankayikha. 15 Khulankha mpakha wa mwinyi mmote wa tuniya ethiitile khunvekela khaazi, ye khumwinkha oshukisa kuluwe zawe ntthuttu. 16 Ye aari ohithajiya oja vitthu epile zaari ojiwaazo pi kuluwe na khaavo aari omwinkhaaye etthu-yoojiwa.

17 Khujipayini khuri: ‘Anakhaazi a paapa ana etthu-yoojiwa yoowaafiyela, miiyo kiri okhuno entta okikhola jala. 18 Kintta olankha kilawe wa paapa khamuuze yoori: Paapa, kakosa mmakhono wa Nnyizinku na mmakhono mwenu. 19 Akinsuhi theenya wiitthiwa yoori ki mwanenu, mwikipokherele nkhama mmote wa anakhaazi enu.’ 20 Khulankha khusala alawa mpakha wa papaawe.

Nalelo ari peetiwene papaawe khumoona, khwiiyana huruma khuluyeene khusala antthirela khulawa khumpatikha na khumpejari.

21 Attaaphale mwaana otule khumuuza papaawe yoori: ‘Paapa, kakosa mmakhono wa Nnyizinku na mmakhono mwenu. Akinsuhi wiitthiwa yoori ki mwanenu.’

22 Ila papaawe khuwooza akarumeya awe yoori: ‘Mwaakuve, mwitiise kuwo zooziti oshapweya mwinwalise. Na peetthe mwinwalise nzaala mwawe na shapattho mmoolu mwawe. 23 Mwilawe onzizi mwanthuule mwaana wa mompe otule eesheliyeeyo oneneva mwite mwishije, nirette njampo la furaha. 24 Mwaasa yoori mwanaka otu aafwiiye apha ori haayi; aashikhiye apha apattikhana.’ Khwaaziwa njampo.

25 Epo zaari orettikhana mwaana otule nwulu ari omashapa. Khuta mpakha kharipu na vaje, khusala asiila koma zeettaka ovuma na atthu eettaka wiina. 26 Aphano ye khunkhuwela karumeya mmote wa vaje attaaphale khumuuzela niini yaari orettikhanaaye. 27 Ye khumuuza yoori: ‘Ttwiiyo ti ye arutiyeeyo, papaawo khunshijela mwaana wa mompe otule eesheliyeeyo oneneva, mwaasa wompokherela ari haayi.’

28 Mwaana otule nwulu khwiiphiiriwa khuhisala atakha oviramo. Attaaphale papaawe khusaruwa khusala ankhanyarela. 29 Ila ye khumuuza papaawe yoori: ‘Moone! Nyaakha za waatta kuurumeyelakani, wala akinakhijilele hatha nttakhuzi lenu limote. Ila khamwinakinkhe hatha puuzi moote yoori kirette njampo na ashirikha aka. 30 Arutiyeevo mwanenu oto aharipwiyeeyo vitthu zenu na amalempe, mwanshijela mwaana wa mompe otule wooneneva aya.’

31 Aphano papaawe khumuuza yoori: ‘Mwanaka! Wakhula siikhu oniiya vamote na-miyo, wakhula etile kiriina ti yaawo. 32 Ila yaari ohithajiya oretta njampo la furaha, mwaasa yoori ttwiiyo aafwiiye apha ori haayi, aashikhiye apha apattikhana.’ ”
