1 ತದಾ ಕರಸಞ್ಚಾಯಿನಃ ಪಾಪಿನಶ್ಚ ಲೋಕಾ ಉಪದೇಶ್ಕಥಾಂ ಶ್ರೋತುಂ ಯೀಶೋಃ ಸಮೀಪಮ್ ಆಗಚ್ಛನ್|
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
2 ತತಃ ಫಿರೂಶಿನ ಉಪಾಧ್ಯಾಯಾಶ್ಚ ವಿವದಮಾನಾಃ ಕಥಯಾಮಾಸುಃ ಏಷ ಮಾನುಷಃ ಪಾಪಿಭಿಃ ಸಹ ಪ್ರಣಯಂ ಕೃತ್ವಾ ತೈಃ ಸಾರ್ದ್ಧಂ ಭುಂಕ್ತೇ|
The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
3 ತದಾ ಸ ತೇಭ್ಯ ಇಮಾಂ ದೃಷ್ಟಾನ್ತಕಥಾಂ ಕಥಿತವಾನ್,
He told them this parable:
4 ಕಸ್ಯಚಿತ್ ಶತಮೇಷೇಷು ತಿಷ್ಠತ್ಮು ತೇಷಾಮೇಕಂ ಸ ಯದಿ ಹಾರಯತಿ ತರ್ಹಿ ಮಧ್ಯೇಪ್ರಾನ್ತರಮ್ ಏಕೋನಶತಮೇಷಾನ್ ವಿಹಾಯ ಹಾರಿತಮೇಷಸ್ಯ ಉದ್ದೇಶಪ್ರಾಪ್ತಿಪರ್ಯ್ಯನತಂ ನ ಗವೇಷಯತಿ, ಏತಾದೃಶೋ ಲೋಕೋ ಯುಷ್ಮಾಕಂ ಮಧ್ಯೇ ಕ ಆಸ್ತೇ?
“Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
5 ತಸ್ಯೋದ್ದೇಶಂ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ಯ ಹೃಷ್ಟಮನಾಸ್ತಂ ಸ್ಕನ್ಧೇ ನಿಧಾಯ ಸ್ವಸ್ಥಾನಮ್ ಆನೀಯ ಬನ್ಧುಬಾನ್ಧವಸಮೀಪವಾಸಿನ ಆಹೂಯ ವಕ್ತಿ,
When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 ಹಾರಿತಂ ಮೇಷಂ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ತೋಹಮ್ ಅತೋ ಹೇತೋ ರ್ಮಯಾ ಸಾರ್ದ್ಧಮ್ ಆನನ್ದತ|
When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbours, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’
7 ತದ್ವದಹಂ ಯುಷ್ಮಾನ್ ವದಾಮಿ, ಯೇಷಾಂ ಮನಃಪರಾವರ್ತ್ತನಸ್ಯ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನಂ ನಾಸ್ತಿ, ತಾದೃಶೈಕೋನಶತಧಾರ್ಮ್ಮಿಕಕಾರಣಾದ್ ಯ ಆನನ್ದಸ್ತಸ್ಮಾದ್ ಏಕಸ್ಯ ಮನಃಪರಿವರ್ತ್ತಿನಃ ಪಾಪಿನಃ ಕಾರಣಾತ್ ಸ್ವರ್ಗೇ ಽಧಿಕಾನನ್ದೋ ಜಾಯತೇ|
I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
8 ಅಪರಞ್ಚ ದಶಾನಾಂ ರೂಪ್ಯಖಣ್ಡಾನಾಮ್ ಏಕಖಣ್ಡೇ ಹಾರಿತೇ ಪ್ರದೀಪಂ ಪ್ರಜ್ವಾಲ್ಯ ಗೃಹಂ ಸಮ್ಮಾರ್ಜ್ಯ ತಸ್ಯ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ತಿಂ ಯಾವದ್ ಯತ್ನೇನ ನ ಗವೇಷಯತಿ, ಏತಾದೃಶೀ ಯೋಷಿತ್ ಕಾಸ್ತೇ?
“Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
9 ಪ್ರಾಪ್ತೇ ಸತಿ ಬನ್ಧುಬಾನ್ಧವಸಮೀಪವಾಸಿನೀರಾಹೂಯ ಕಥಯತಿ, ಹಾರಿತಂ ರೂಪ್ಯಖಣ್ಡಂ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ತಾಹಂ ತಸ್ಮಾದೇವ ಮಯಾ ಸಾರ್ದ್ಧಮ್ ಆನನ್ದತ|
When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’
10 ತದ್ವದಹಂ ಯುಷ್ಮಾನ್ ವ್ಯಾಹರಾಮಿ, ಏಕೇನ ಪಾಪಿನಾ ಮನಸಿ ಪರಿವರ್ತ್ತಿತೇ, ಈಶ್ವರಸ್ಯ ದೂತಾನಾಂ ಮಧ್ಯೇಪ್ಯಾನನ್ದೋ ಜಾಯತೇ|
Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
11 ಅಪರಞ್ಚ ಸ ಕಥಯಾಮಾಸ, ಕಸ್ಯಚಿದ್ ದ್ವೌ ಪುತ್ರಾವಾಸ್ತಾಂ,
He said, “A certain man had two sons.
12 ತಯೋಃ ಕನಿಷ್ಠಃ ಪುತ್ರಃ ಪಿತ್ರೇ ಕಥಯಾಮಾಸ, ಹೇ ಪಿತಸ್ತವ ಸಮ್ಪತ್ತ್ಯಾ ಯಮಂಶಂ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ಸ್ಯಾಮ್ಯಹಂ ವಿಭಜ್ಯ ತಂ ದೇಹಿ, ತತಃ ಪಿತಾ ನಿಜಾಂ ಸಮ್ಪತ್ತಿಂ ವಿಭಜ್ಯ ತಾಭ್ಯಾಂ ದದೌ|
The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
13 ಕತಿಪಯಾತ್ ಕಾಲಾತ್ ಪರಂ ಸ ಕನಿಷ್ಠಪುತ್ರಃ ಸಮಸ್ತಂ ಧನಂ ಸಂಗೃಹ್ಯ ದೂರದೇಶಂ ಗತ್ವಾ ದುಷ್ಟಾಚರಣೇನ ಸರ್ವ್ವಾಂ ಸಮ್ಪತ್ತಿಂ ನಾಶಯಾಮಾಸ|
Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and travelled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
14 ತಸ್ಯ ಸರ್ವ್ವಧನೇ ವ್ಯಯಂ ಗತೇ ತದ್ದೇಶೇ ಮಹಾದುರ್ಭಿಕ್ಷಂ ಬಭೂವ, ತತಸ್ತಸ್ಯ ದೈನ್ಯದಶಾ ಭವಿತುಮ್ ಆರೇಭೇ|
When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
15 ತತಃ ಪರಂ ಸ ಗತ್ವಾ ತದ್ದೇಶೀಯಂ ಗೃಹಸ್ಥಮೇಕಮ್ ಆಶ್ರಯತ; ತತಃ ಸತಂ ಶೂಕರವ್ರಜಂ ಚಾರಯಿತುಂ ಪ್ರಾನ್ತರಂ ಪ್ರೇಷಯಾಮಾಸ|
He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16 ಕೇನಾಪಿ ತಸ್ಮೈ ಭಕ್ಷ್ಯಾದಾನಾತ್ ಸ ಶೂಕರಫಲವಲ್ಕಲೇನ ಪಿಚಿಣ್ಡಪೂರಣಾಂ ವವಾಞ್ಛ|
He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
17 ಶೇಷೇ ಸ ಮನಸಿ ಚೇತನಾಂ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ಯ ಕಥಯಾಮಾಸ, ಹಾ ಮಮ ಪಿತುಃ ಸಮೀಪೇ ಕತಿ ಕತಿ ವೇತನಭುಜೋ ದಾಸಾ ಯಥೇಷ್ಟಂ ತತೋಧಿಕಞ್ಚ ಭಕ್ಷ್ಯಂ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ನುವನ್ತಿ ಕಿನ್ತ್ವಹಂ ಕ್ಷುಧಾ ಮುಮೂರ್ಷುಃ|
But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!
18 ಅಹಮುತ್ಥಾಯ ಪಿತುಃ ಸಮೀಪಂ ಗತ್ವಾ ಕಥಾಮೇತಾಂ ವದಿಷ್ಯಾಮಿ, ಹೇ ಪಿತರ್ ಈಶ್ವರಸ್ಯ ತವ ಚ ವಿರುದ್ಧಂ ಪಾಪಮಕರವಮ್
I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.

“He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 ತದಾ ಪುತ್ರ ಉವಾಚ, ಹೇ ಪಿತರ್ ಈಶ್ವರಸ್ಯ ತವ ಚ ವಿರುದ್ಧಂ ಪಾಪಮಕರವಂ, ತವ ಪುತ್ರಇತಿ ವಿಖ್ಯಾತೋ ಭವಿತುಂ ನ ಯೋಗ್ಯೋಸ್ಮಿ ಚ|
The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 ಕಿನ್ತು ತಸ್ಯ ಪಿತಾ ನಿಜದಾಸಾನ್ ಆದಿದೇಶ, ಸರ್ವ್ವೋತ್ತಮವಸ್ತ್ರಾಣ್ಯಾನೀಯ ಪರಿಧಾಪಯತೈನಂ ಹಸ್ತೇ ಚಾಙ್ಗುರೀಯಕಮ್ ಅರ್ಪಯತ ಪಾದಯೋಶ್ಚೋಪಾನಹೌ ಸಮರ್ಪಯತ;
“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
23 ಪುಷ್ಟಂ ಗೋವತ್ಸಮ್ ಆನೀಯ ಮಾರಯತ ಚ ತಂ ಭುಕ್ತ್ವಾ ವಯಮ್ ಆನನ್ದಾಮ|
Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;

for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
25 ತತ್ಕಾಲೇ ತಸ್ಯ ಜ್ಯೇಷ್ಠಃ ಪುತ್ರಃ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರ ಆಸೀತ್| ಅಥ ಸ ನಿವೇಶನಸ್ಯ ನಿಕಟಂ ಆಗಚ್ಛನ್ ನೃತ್ಯಾನಾಂ ವಾದ್ಯಾನಾಞ್ಚ ಶಬ್ದಂ ಶ್ರುತ್ವಾ
“Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 ದಾಸಾನಾಮ್ ಏಕಮ್ ಆಹೂಯ ಪಪ್ರಚ್ಛ, ಕಿಂ ಕಾರಣಮಸ್ಯ?
He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
27 ತತಃ ಸೋವಾದೀತ್, ತವ ಭ್ರಾತಾಗಮತ್, ತವ ತಾತಶ್ಚ ತಂ ಸುಶರೀರಂ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ಯ ಪುಷ್ಟಂ ಗೋವತ್ಸಂ ಮಾರಿತವಾನ್|
He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
28 ತತಃ ಸ ಪ್ರಕುಪ್ಯ ನಿವೇಶನಾನ್ತಃ ಪ್ರವೇಷ್ಟುಂ ನ ಸಮ್ಮೇನೇ; ತತಸ್ತಸ್ಯ ಪಿತಾ ಬಹಿರಾಗತ್ಯ ತಂ ಸಾಧಯಾಮಾಸ|
But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
29 ತತಃ ಸ ಪಿತರಂ ಪ್ರತ್ಯುವಾಚ, ಪಶ್ಯ ತವ ಕಾಞ್ಚಿದಪ್ಯಾಜ್ಞಾಂ ನ ವಿಲಂಘ್ಯ ಬಹೂನ್ ವತ್ಸರಾನ್ ಅಹಂ ತ್ವಾಂ ಸೇವೇ ತಥಾಪಿ ಮಿತ್ರೈಃ ಸಾರ್ದ್ಧಮ್ ಉತ್ಸವಂ ಕರ್ತ್ತುಂ ಕದಾಪಿ ಛಾಗಮೇಕಮಪಿ ಮಹ್ಯಂ ನಾದದಾಃ;
But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
30 ಕಿನ್ತು ತವ ಯಃ ಪುತ್ರೋ ವೇಶ್ಯಾಗಮನಾದಿಭಿಸ್ತವ ಸಮ್ಪತ್ತಿಮ್ ಅಪವ್ಯಯಿತವಾನ್ ತಸ್ಮಿನ್ನಾಗತಮಾತ್ರೇ ತಸ್ಯೈವ ನಿಮಿತ್ತಂ ಪುಷ್ಟಂ ಗೋವತ್ಸಂ ಮಾರಿತವಾನ್|
But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
31 ತದಾ ತಸ್ಯ ಪಿತಾವೋಚತ್, ಹೇ ಪುತ್ರ ತ್ವಂ ಸರ್ವ್ವದಾ ಮಯಾ ಸಹಾಸಿ ತಸ್ಮಾನ್ ಮಮ ಯದ್ಯದಾಸ್ತೇ ತತ್ಸರ್ವ್ವಂ ತವ|
“He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
32 ಕಿನ್ತು ತವಾಯಂ ಭ್ರಾತಾ ಮೃತಃ ಪುನರಜೀವೀದ್ ಹಾರಿತಶ್ಚ ಭೂತ್ವಾ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ತೋಭೂತ್, ಏತಸ್ಮಾತ್ ಕಾರಣಾದ್ ಉತ್ಸವಾನನ್ದೌ ಕರ್ತ್ತುಮ್ ಉಚಿತಮಸ್ಮಾಕಮ್|
But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
