Lūkas Evaņg̒elijs 15
1 Un visādi muitnieki un grēcinieki steidzās pie Viņa, gribēdami Viņu dzirdēt.
The tax collectors and the outcasts were all drawing near to Jesus to listen to him;
2 Un tie farizeji un rakstu mācītāji kurnēja un sacīja: “Šis uzņem grēciniekus un ēd ar tiem.”
but the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law found fault. ‘This man always welcomes outcasts, and takes meals with them!’ they complained.
3 Bet Viņš tiem šo līdzību stāstīja un sacīja:
So Jesus told them this parable –
4 “Ja kādam cilvēkam jūsu starpā ir simts avis, un tam viena no tām pazūd, vai tas neatstāj tās deviņdesmit deviņas tuksnesī un nenoiet pēc tās pazudušās, tiekams to atrod?
‘Who among you who has a hundred sheep, and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine out in the open country, and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?
5 Un to atradis, viņš līksmodamies to ceļ uz saviem pleciem.
And, when he has found it, he puts in on his shoulders rejoicing;
6 Un mājās pārnācis viņš sasauc savus draugus un kaimiņus, uz tiem sacīdams: priecājaties ar mani, es savu avi esmu atradis, kas bija pazudusi.
and, on reaching home, he calls his friends and his neighbours together, and says “Come and rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.”
7 Es jums saku: tā arī debesīs būs vairāk līksmības par vienu pašu grēcinieku, kas atgriežas no grēkiem, nekā par deviņdesmit deviņiem taisniem, kam atgriešanās no grēkiem nevajag.
So, I tell you, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one outcast who repents, than over ninety-nine religious people, who have no need to repent.
8 Jeb ja kādai sievai ir desmit graši un viens tai nozūd, vai tā neiededzina sveci un nemēž namu, rūpīgi meklēdama, kamēr to atrod?
Or again, what woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
9 Un to atradusi, tā sasauc savas draudzenes un kaimiņienes sacīdama: priecājaties ar mani, jo es savu grasi atkal esmu atradusi, kas man bija nozudis.
And, when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbours together, and says “Come and rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost.”
10 Tā, Es jums saku, būs arī līksmība pie Dieva eņģeļiem par vienu pašu grēcinieku, kas atgriežas no grēkiem.”
So, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of God’s angels over one outcast who repents.’
11 Un Viņš sacīja: “Vienam cilvēkam bija divi dēli.
Then Jesus continued, ‘A man had two sons;
12 Un tas jaunākais no tiem sacīja uz tēvu: tēvs, dod man manu tiesu no tās mantas, kas man nākas; un viņš tiem to mantu dalīja.
and the younger of them said to his father “Father, give me my share of the inheritance.” So the father divided the property between them.
13 Un pēc necik ilga laika tas jaunākais, visu saņēmis kopā, aizgāja uz tālu zemi un tur savu mantu izšķērdēja, negodīgi dzīvodams.
A few days later the younger son got together all that he had, and went away into a distant land; and there he squandered his inheritance by leading a dissolute life.
14 Kad nu tas visu savu mantu bija iztērējis, tad liels bads nāca tanī zemē, un tam iesāka pietrūkt.
After he has spent all that he had, there was a severe famine through all that country, and he began to be in actual want.
15 Tad viņš gāja un pieķērās turpat pie viena namnieka; tas to sūtīja uz savu tīrumu, cūkas ganīt.
So he went and engaged himself to one of the people of that country, who sent him into his fields to tend pigs.
16 Un viņš gribēja savu vēderu pildīt ar sēnalām, ko cūkas ēda, bet neviens ne tās tam nedeva.
He even longed to satisfy his hunger with the bean-pods on which the pigs were feeding; and no one gave him anything.
17 Tad viņš pie atzīšanas nācis sacīja: cik algādžu manam tēvam, kam maizes papilnam, un es mirstu badu!
But, when he came to himself, he said “How many of my father’s hired servants have more bread than they can eat, while here am I starving to death!
18 Es celšos un iešu pie sava tēva un sacīšu uz viņu: tēvs, es esmu grēkojis pret debesīm un pret tevi,
I will get up and go to my father, and say to him ‘Father, I sinned against heaven and against you;
19 Un vairs neesmu cienīgs, ka mani sauc par tavu dēlu; dari mani par vienu no taviem algādžiem.
I am no longer fit to be called your son; make me one of your hired servants.’”
20 Un viņš cēlās un gāja pie sava tēva. Bet kad tas vēl bija tālu, tad viņa tēvs to redzēja, un viņš iežēlojās par to un skrēja un krita tam ap kaklu un to skūpstīja.
And he got up and went to his father. But, while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was deeply moved; he ran and threw his arms round his neck and kissed him.
21 Un dēls sacīja uz viņu: tēvs, es esmu grēkojis pret debesi un pret tevi un neesmu vairs cienīgs, ka mani sauc par tavu dēlu.
“Father,” the son said, “I sinned against heaven and against you; I am no longer fit to be called your son; make me one of your hired servants.”
22 Bet tēvs sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: atnesiet tās viskrāšņākās drēbes un ģērbiet to un dodiet tam gredzenu rokā un kurpes kājās.
But the father turned to his servants and said “Be quick and fetch a robe – the very best – and put it on him; give him a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet;
23 Un atnesat treknu teļu un nokaujiet to, lai ēdam un līksmojamies.
and bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry;
24 Jo šis mans dēls bija nomiris un atkal tapis dzīvs; viņš bija pazudis un ir atrasts. Un tie sāka līksmoties.
for here is my son who was dead, and is alive again, was lost, and is found.” So they began making merry.
25 Bet vecākais dēls bija uz lauka, un pārnākdams tuvu pie mājām viņš dzirdēja to dziedāšanu un diešanu.
Meanwhile the elder son was out in the fields; but, on coming home, when he got near the house, he heard music and dancing,
26 Un vienu no tiem kalpiem pasaucis, viņš jautāja, kas tas esot?
and he called one of the servants and asked what it all meant.
27 Un šis sacīja uz viņu: tavs brālis ir pārnācis, un tavs tēvs ir nokāvis treknu teļu, tāpēc ka viņš to veselu atdabūjis.
“Your brother has come back,” the servant told him, “and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.”
28 Tad viņš apskaitās un negribēja ieiet. Bet viņa tēvs gāja ārā un to lūdza iekšā.
This made him angry, and he would not go in. But his father came out and begged him to do so.
29 Bet viņš atbildēja un sacīja uz tēvu: redzi, tik daudz gadus es tev kalpoju un nekad vēl neesmu pārkāpis tavu bausli, un tomēr man tu vēl nekad ne kazlēnu neesi devis, ka es būtu līksmojies ar saviem draugiem.
“No,” he said to his father, “look at all the years I have been serving you, without ever once disobeying you, and yet you have never given me even a young goat, so that I might have a party with my friends.
30 Bet kad nu šis tavs dēls ir atnācis, kas tavu mantu aprijis ar maukām, tad tu viņam esi nokāvis barotu teļu.
But, no sooner has this son of yours come, who has eaten up your property in the company of prostitutes, than you have killed the fattened calf for him.”
31 Un viņš sacīja uz to: dēls, tu pie manis esi vienmēr un viss, kas mans, tas ir arī tavs.
“Child,” the father answered, “you are always with me, and everything that I have is yours.
32 Bet tev bija būt līksmam un priecīgam, jo šis tavs brālis bija nomiris un ir atkal tapis dzīvs, viņš bija pazudis un ir atrasts.”
We could but make merry and rejoice, for here is your brother who was dead, and is alive; who was lost, and is found.”’
