Lukas 15
1 Eta hurbiltzen ciraden harengana publicano eta gende vicitze gaichtotaco guciac, hura ençun leçatençát.
Then all the tax collectors and ‘sinners’ were getting close to Him to hear Him.
2 Eta murmuratzen çutén Phariseuéc eta Scribéc, cioitela, hunec gende vicitze gaichtotacoac recebitzen ditu, eta iaten du hequin.
Well the Pharisees and the scribes started complaining, saying, “This man welcomes ‘sinners’ and eats with them.”
3 Baina harc erran ciecén comparatione haur, cioela,
So He told them this parable, saying:
4 Cein guiçonec çuetaric ehun ardi dituela eta hetaric bat galtzen duela, eztitu vtziten lauroguey eta hemeretziac desertuan eta ezta ioaiten galduaren ondoan, hura eriden deçaqueno?
“What man among you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not abandon the ninety-nine in the wild and go after the lost one until he finds it?
5 Eta eriden duenean eçarten du bere sorbaldén gainean alegueraric.
And upon finding it he joyfully puts it on his shoulders.
6 Guero ethorriric etchera, deitzen ditu adisquideac eta auçoac, diostela, Aleguera çaitezte enequin: ecen eriden dut neure ardi galdua.
And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost!’
7 Erraiten drauçuet ecen hala bozcario içanen dela ceruän bekatore emendatzen den baten
I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who have no need of repentance.
8 Edo cein emazte hamar drachma dituenec, baldin gal badeça drachmabat, eztu arguia vizten eta etchea escobatzen, eta bilhatzen diligentqui hura eriden deçaqueno?
“Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
9 Eta eriden duenean, deitzen ditu emazte adisquideac eta auçoac, dioela, Aleguera çaitezte enequin: ecen eriden dut galdu nuen drachmá.
And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I lost!’
10 Hala, diotsuet, bozcario içanen dela Iaincoaren Aingueruén aitzinean, bekatore emendatzen den baten gainean.
Just so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
11 Halaber erran ceçan, Guiçon batec cituen bi seme:
Then He said: “A certain man had two sons.
12 Eta hetaric gaztenac erran cieçón aitári, Aitá, indac onhassunetic niri heltzen çaitadan partea. Eta parti cietzén onac.
And the younger one said to the father, ‘Father, give me the appropriate share of the estate.’ So he divided the property between them.
13 Eta egun gutiren buruän, guciac bilduric seme gaztenor ioan cedin herri vrrun batetara: eta han irion ceçan bere onhassuna, prodigoqui vici içanez.
Not many days later the younger son, having converted it all, journeyed to a distant country; and there he squandered his wealth living dissolutely.
14 Gucia despendatu vkan çuenean, eguin içan cen gossete gogorbat herri hartan, eta hura has cedin behar içaten:
But when he had spent it all, there was a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need.
15 Eta ioanic leku hartaco burgés batequin iar cedin, eta harc igor ceçan bere possessionetara vrdén bazcatzera.
Then he went and attached himself to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16 Eta desir çuen vrdéc iaten çuten maguinchetaric bere sabelaren bethatzera: eta nehorc etzeraucan emaiten.
He would gladly have filled his stomach with the carob pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 Eta bere buruäri ohart cequionean, erran ceçan, Cembat alocacer diraden ene aitaren etchean oguia frango dutenic, eta ni gossez hiltzen bainaiz!
But when he came to himself he said: ‘How many of my father's hired servants have an abundance of bread, while I am dying of hunger!
18 Iaiquiric ioanen naiz neure aitagana, eta erranen draucat, Aitá, huts eguin diat ceruären contra, eta hire aitzinean.
I will get up and go to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,
19 Eta guehiagoric eznauc digne hire seme deitzeco: eguin neçac eure alocaceretaric bat beçala.
and I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired servants.’
20 Iaiquiric bada ethor cedin bere aitagana. Eta hura oraino vrrun cela, ikus ceçan bere aitac, eta compassione har ceçan, eta laster eguinic egotz ceçan bere buruä haren leppora, eta pot eguin cieçon.
“So he got up and went to his own father. But while he was still a good ways off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion—he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him!
21 Eta erran cieçón semeac, Aitá, huts eguin diat ceruären contra, eta hire aitzinean, eta guehiagoric eznauc digne hire seme deitzeco.
Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 Orduan erran ciecén aitác bere cerbitzariey, Ekarçue arropa principalena, eta iaunz eçoçue: eta emoçue erhaztumbat bere escura, eta çapatac oinetara:
But the father said to his slaves: ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
23 Eta ekarriric aretze guicena, hil eçaçue: eta iaten dugula atseguin har deçagun.
And bring in and kill the fatted calf, and let us eat and celebrate;
24 Ecen ene seme haur hil cen, eta harçara viztu da: galdu cen, eta eriden da. Eta has citecen atseguin hartzen.
because this son of mine was dead and came to life; he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
25 Eta cen haren seme çaharrena landán, eta ethorten cela etcheari hurbildu çayonean, ençun citzan melodiá eta dançác.
“Now his older son was in the field; and as he came approaching the house he heard music and dancing.
26 Eta deithuric cerbitzarietaric bat, interroga ceçan hura cer cen.
So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.
27 Eta harc erran cieçón, hire anaye ethorri içan duc, eta hil vkan dic hire aitac aretze guicembat, ceren ossoric hura recebitu duen.
He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’
28 Eta asserre cedin: eta etzén sarthu nahi içan: bere aitác bada ilkiric othoitz eguin cieçon.
So he became angry and refused to go in. Then his father came out and began to plead with him.
29 Baina harc ihardesten çuela erran cieçón bere aitari, Huná, hambat vrthe dic cerbitzatzen audala, eta egundano hire manuric eztiat iragan, eta egundano pitinabat eztrautac eman neure adisquidequin atseguin hartzeco.
But in answer he said to the father: ‘Just look at how many years I have been serving you without ever transgressing your commandment; yet you never gave me even a young goat that I might celebrate with my friends.
30 Baina hire seme haur, ceinec iretsi vkan baitu hire onhassun gucia putéquin, ethorri içan denean, hil vkan draucac huni aretze guicena.
But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!’
31 Eta harc erran cieçón, Semé, hi bethi enequin aiz, eta ene gucia hire duc:
So he said to him: ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.
32 Eta atseguin hartu behar çuán eta alegueratu, ceren hire anaye haur hil baitzén, eta viztu baita, galdu baitzén, eta eriden baita.
But it was right that we celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and came to life; he was lost and is found.’”
