Lukas 15
1 Eta hurbiltzen ciraden harengana publicano eta gende vicitze gaichtotaco guciac, hura ençun leçatençát.
The tax collectors and the outcasts were all drawing near to Jesus to listen to him;
2 Eta murmuratzen çutén Phariseuéc eta Scribéc, cioitela, hunec gende vicitze gaichtotacoac recebitzen ditu, eta iaten du hequin.
but the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law found fault. “This man always welcomes outcasts, and takes meals with them!” they complained.
3 Baina harc erran ciecén comparatione haur, cioela,
So 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?
“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 Eta eriden duenean eçarten du bere sorbaldén gainean alegueraric.
And, when he has found it, he puts in on his shoulders rejoicing;
6 Guero ethorriric etchera, deitzen ditu adisquideac eta auçoac, diostela, Aleguera çaitezte enequin: ecen eriden dut neure ardi galdua.
and, on reaching home, he calls his friends and his neighbors together, and says ‘Come and rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.’
7 Erraiten drauçuet ecen hala bozcario içanen dela ceruän bekatore emendatzen den baten
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 Edo cein emazte hamar drachma dituenec, baldin gal badeça drachmabat, eztu arguia vizten eta etchea escobatzen, eta bilhatzen diligentqui hura eriden deçaqueno?
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 Eta eriden duenean, deitzen ditu emazte adisquideac eta auçoac, dioela, Aleguera çaitezte enequin: ecen eriden dut galdu nuen drachmá.
And, when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, and says ‘Come and rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost.’
10 Hala, diotsuet, bozcario içanen dela Iaincoaren Aingueruén aitzinean, bekatore emendatzen den baten gainean.
So, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of God’s angels over one outcast who repents.”
11 Halaber erran ceçan, Guiçon batec cituen bi seme:
Then Jesus continued, “A 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 of them said to his father ‘Father, give me my share of the inheritance.’ So the father 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.
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 Gucia despendatu vkan çuenean, eguin içan cen gossete gogorbat herri hartan, eta hura has cedin behar içaten:
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 Eta ioanic leku hartaco burgés batequin iar cedin, eta harc igor ceçan bere possessionetara vrdén bazcatzera.
So he went and engaged himself to one of the people of that country, who sent him into his fields to tend pigs.
16 Eta desir çuen vrdéc iaten çuten maguinchetaric bere sabelaren bethatzera: eta nehorc etzeraucan emaiten.
He even longed to satisfy his hunger with the bean-pods on which the pigs were feeding; and 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 more bread than they can eat, while here am I 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 to my father, and say to him “Father, I sinned against heaven and against you;
19 Eta guehiagoric eznauc digne hire seme deitzeco: eguin neçac eure alocaceretaric bat beçala.
I am no longer fit to be called your son; make me 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.
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 around 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.
‘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 Orduan erran ciecén aitác bere cerbitzariey, Ekarçue arropa principalena, eta iaunz eçoçue: eta emoçue erhaztumbat bere escura, eta çapatac oinetara:
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 Eta ekarriric aretze guicena, hil eçaçue: eta iaten dugula atseguin har deçagun.
and bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry;
24 Ecen ene seme haur hil cen, eta harçara viztu da: galdu cen, eta eriden da. Eta has citecen atseguin hartzen.
for here is my son who was dead, and is alive again, was lost, and is found.’ So they began making merry.
25 Eta cen haren seme çaharrena landán, eta ethorten cela etcheari hurbildu çayonean, ençun citzan melodiá eta dançác.
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 Eta deithuric cerbitzarietaric bat, interroga ceçan hura cer cen.
and he called one of the servants and asked what it all meant.
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 come back,’ the servant told him, ‘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.
This made him angry, and he would not go in. But his father came out and begged him to do so.
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.
‘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 Baina hire seme haur, ceinec iretsi vkan baitu hire onhassun gucia putéquin, ethorri içan denean, hil vkan draucac huni aretze guicena.
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 Eta harc erran cieçón, Semé, hi bethi enequin aiz, eta ene gucia hire duc:
‘Child,’ the father answered, ‘you are always with me, and everything 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.
We could but make merry and rejoice, for here is your brother who was dead, and is alive; who was lost, and is found.’”
