Luuka 15
1 Maksukogujad ja teised „patused“tulid sageli Jeesust kuulama.
Now all the tax collectors and other sinners were coming to Jesus to listen to him.
2 Selletõttu kurtsid variserid ja vaimulikud õpetajad: „See mees võtab patuseid vastu ja sööb koos nendega.“
Both the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled to each other, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and even eats with them.”
3 Seega jutustas Jeesus neile näitlikustamiseks selle loo.
Jesus spoke this parable to them, saying,
4 „Kujutage ette meest, kel oli sada lammast ja ta kaotas ühe neist. Kas ta ei jätaks üheksakümmend üheksa karjamaale ega läheks otsima seda üht, kes on kadunud, kuni ta tema leiab?
“Which one of you, if he has a hundred sheep and then loses one of them, will not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the lost one until he finds it?
5 Kui ta lamba leiab, paneb ta lamba rõõmsalt oma õlgadele.
Then when he has found it, he lays it across his shoulders and rejoices.
6 Kui ta koju jõuab, kutsub ta kokku oma sõbrad ja naabrid ning ütleb: „Tulge tähistage koos minuga! Ma leidsin oma kadunud lamba!“
When he comes to the house, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.'
7 Ma ütlen teile, et taevas on ühe meelt parandava patuse üle suurem rõõm kui üheksakümne üheksa hea inimese üle, kel ei ole meeleparandust vaja.
I say to you that even so, there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
8 Kujutage ette naist, kel on kümme hõbemünti, ja ta kaotab neist ühe. Kas ta ei süütaks lampi ega pühiks maja, otsides hoolikalt, kuni ta mündi leiab?
Or what woman who has ten silver coins, if she were to lose one coin, would not light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she has found it?
9 Kui ta selle leiab, kutsub ta oma sõbrad ja naabrid kokku ning ütleb: „Tulge tähistage koos minuga! Ma leidsin hõbemündi, mille ma ära kaotasin.“
When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost.'
10 Ma ütlen teile, et Jumala inglite juures on rõõm ühe patuse üle, kes meelt parandab.
Even so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
11 Elas kord üks mees, kellel oli kaks poega, “rääkis Jeesus.
Then Jesus said, “A certain man had two sons,
12 „Noorem poeg ütles isale: „Isa, anna mu pärandus kohe kätte.“Nõnda jagas siis mees oma vara poegade vahel.
and the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the portion of the wealth that falls to me.' So he divided his property between them.
13 Mõne päeva pärast pani noorem poeg kokku kõik, mis tal oli, ja läks kaugele maale. Seal raiskas ta mõtlematut elu elades kogu raha ära.
Not many days later, the younger son gathered together all he owned and went to a country far away, and there he wasted all his wealth by living recklessly.
14 Pärast seda, kui ta kõik oli ära kulutanud, tabas seda maad raske näljahäda ja ta jäi nälga.
Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine spread through that country, and he began to be in need.
15 Nii läks ta ja sai tööd ühe talumehe juures, kes saatis ta põllule sigu karjatama.
He went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16 Tema kõht oli nii tühi, et ta oleks söönud kas või sigade toitu, aga keegi ei andnud talle midagi.
He would gladly have eaten the carob pods that the pigs ate, because no one gave him anything.
17 Kui ta mõtlema hakkas, ütles ta endamisi: „Kõigil mu isa töölistel on süüa rohkem kui küllalt, miks mina siin näljast suremas olen?
But when the young son came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough food, and I am here, dying from hunger!
18 Ma lähen oma isa juurde! Ma ütlen talle: isa, ma olen pattu teinud taeva ja sinu vastu.
I will leave here and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
19 Ma ei ole enam väärt, et mind su pojaks nimetatakse. Palun kohtle mind nagu üht oma palgatöölistest.“
I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired servants.”'
20 Nii ta siis lahkus ja läks koju oma isa juurde. Kuigi ta oli alles kaugel, nägi isa teda tulemas ja tema süda sai liigutatud. Ta jooksis pojale vastu, kallistas ja suudles teda.
So the young son left and came toward his father. While he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and he ran and embraced him and kissed him.
21 Poeg ütles talle: „Isa, ma olen pattu teinud taeva ja sinu vastu. Ma ei ole enam väärt, et mind su pojaks nimetatakse.“
The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
22 Kuid isa ütles oma sulastele: „Ruttu! Tooge parim kuub ja pange talle selga. Pange talle sõrmus sõrme ja sandaalid jalga.
The father said to his servants, 'Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet.
23 Tooge vasikas, keda oleme nuumanud, ning tapke see. Korraldame tähistamiseks pidusöögi,
Then bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us celebrate with a feast!
24 sest see on minu poeg, kes oli surnud, kuid ärkas ellu; ta oli kadunud, aga nüüd on ta leitud.“Niisiis hakkasid nad tähistama.
For my son was dead, and now he is alive. He was lost, and now he is found.' Then they began to celebrate.
25 Vanem poeg aga oli väljas põllul tööl. Kui ta maja poole kõndis, kuulis ta muusikat ja tantsimist.
Now his older son was out in the field. As he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Seepärast kutsus ta ühe sulastest ja küsis, mis toimub.
He called to one of the servants and asked what these things might be.
27 „Su vend on tagasi, “vastas sulane, „ja su isa on tapnud nuumvasika, sest su vend on elusa ja tervena kodus.“
The servant said to him, 'Your brother has come home and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has returned safely.'
28 Vend sai pahaseks ja keeldus sisse minemast. Siis tuli isa välja, et teda ümber veenda.
The older son was angry and would not go in, and his father came out and begged him.
29 Ta ütles isale: „Vaata, kõik need aastad olen ma sind teeninud, ma pole kunagi sõnakuulmatu olnud, aga sa pole mulle kunagi andnud kitsetallegi, et oleksin saanud oma sõpradega peo teha.
But the older son answered and said to his father, 'Look, these many years I slaved for you, and I never broke a rule of yours, and yet you never gave me a young goat that I might celebrate with my friends,
30 Nüüd tuleb see sinu poeg tagasi, kui ta on sinu raha prostituutidele kulutanud, ja sina tapad tema jaoks nuumvasika!“
but when your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed for him the fattened calf.'
31 „Poeg, “vastas isa, „sa oled alati siin minu juures. Kõik, mis on minu oma, on ka sinu oma.
The father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
32 Aga me peaksime olema rõõmsad ja tähistama! See on sinu vend, kes oli surnud, kuid ärkas ellu; ta oli kadunud, aga nüüd on ta leitud!““
But it was proper for us to feast and be happy, for this brother of yours was dead, and is now alive; he was lost, and has now been found.'”
