Lukas 15
1 Eta hurbiltzen ciraden harengana publicano eta gende vicitze gaichtotaco guciac, hura ençun leçatençát.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
2 Eta murmuratzen çutén Phariseuéc eta Scribéc, cioitela, hunec gende vicitze gaichtotacoac recebitzen ditu, eta iaten du hequin.
So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3 Baina harc erran ciecén comparatione haur, cioela,
Then Jesus told them this parable:
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, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
5 Eta eriden duenean eçarten du bere sorbaldén gainean alegueraric.
And when he finds 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.
comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
7 Erraiten drauçuet ecen hala bozcario içanen dela ceruän bekatore emendatzen den baten
In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent.
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 who has ten silver coins and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her 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 to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’
10 Hala, diotsuet, bozcario içanen dela Iaincoaren Aingueruén aitzinean, bekatore emendatzen den baten gainean.
In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
11 Halaber erran ceçan, Guiçon batec cituen bi seme:
Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
12 Eta hetaric gaztenac erran cieçón aitári, Aitá, indac onhassunetic niri heltzen çaitadan partea. Eta parti cietzén onac.
The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his 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.
After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.
14 Gucia despendatu vkan çuenean, eguin içan cen gossete gogorbat herri hartan, eta hura has cedin behar içaten:
After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through 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.
So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
16 Eta desir çuen vrdéc iaten çuten maguinchetaric bere sabelaren bethatzera: eta nehorc etzeraucan emaiten.
He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
17 Eta bere buruäri ohart cequionean, erran ceçan, Cembat alocacer diraden ene aitaren etchean oguia frango dutenic, eta ni gossez hiltzen bainaiz!
Finally he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food? But here I am, starving to death!
18 Iaiquiric ioanen naiz neure aitagana, eta erranen draucat, Aitá, huts eguin diat ceruären contra, eta hire aitzinean.
I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
19 Eta guehiagoric eznauc digne hire seme deitzeco: eguin neçac eure alocaceretaric bat beçala.
I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like 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 father. But while he was still in the distance, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.
21 Eta erran cieçón semeac, Aitá, huts eguin diat ceruären contra, eta hire aitzinean, eta guehiagoric eznauc digne hire seme deitzeco.
The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 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 servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
23 Eta ekarriric aretze guicena, hil eçaçue: eta iaten dugula atseguin har deçagun.
Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
24 Ecen ene seme haur hil cen, eta harçara viztu da: galdu cen, eta eriden da. Eta has citecen atseguin hartzen.
For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! 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.
Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached 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 was going on.
27 Eta harc erran cieçón, hire anaye ethorri içan duc, eta hil vkan dic hire aitac aretze guicembat, ceren ossoric hura recebitu duen.
‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’
28 Eta asserre cedin: eta etzén sarthu nahi içan: bere aitác bada ilkiric othoitz eguin cieçon.
The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded 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 he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could 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 returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31 Eta harc erran cieçón, Semé, hi bethi enequin aiz, eta ene gucia hire duc:
‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine 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 fitting to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
