Luka 15:18-24

Ngiyakusuka, ngiye kubaba, ngithi kuye: Baba, ngonile kulo izulu naphambi kwakho; Angisafanele ukuthiwa indodana yakho; ngenze ngibe njengomunye wabaqashwa bakho. Yasuka, yaya kuyise. Kuthe isekude, uyise wayibona, waba nesihe, wagijima, wawa entanyeni yakhe, wayanga. Indodana yathi kuye: ‘Baba, ngonile kulo izulu naphambi kwakho, angisafanele ukuthiwa indodana yakho.’ Kodwa uyise wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Khuphani nikhiphe ingubo enhle kunazo zonke, niyembathise; wafaka indandatho esandleni sakhe, nezicathulo ezinyaweni zakhe; Nilethe ithole elikhuluphalisiwe, nilihlabe; futhi asidle, sijabule; Ngokuba le ndodana yami ibifile, isiyaphila futhi; ubelahlekile, usetholakele. Basebeqala ukujabula.
