Luke 15
1 Tax collectors and other “sinners” often used to come and listen to Jesus.
Nagsisilapit nga sa kaniya ang lahat ng mga maniningil ng buwis at makasalanan upang makinig sa kaniya.
2 As a result the Pharisees and the religious teachers complained, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
At ang mga Fariseo at gayon din ang mga eskriba ay nangagbubulongbulungan, na nangagsasabi, Tinatanggap ng taong ito ang mga makasalanan, at sumasalo sa kanila.
3 So Jesus told them this story as an illustration.
At sinalita niya sa kanila ang talinghagang ito, na sinasabi,
4 “Imagine a man who had a hundred sheep lost one of them. Wouldn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture, and search for the one that's lost until he finds it?
Aling tao sa inyo, na kung mayroong isang daang tupa, at mawala ang isa sa mga yaon ay hindi iiwan ang siyam na pu't siyam sa ilang, at hahanapin ang nawala, hanggang sa ito'y kaniyang masumpungan?
5 When he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders.
At pagka nasumpungan niya, ay pinapasan niya sa kaniyang balikat, na natutuwa.
6 Once he gets home, he calls his friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Come and celebrate with me! I've found my lost sheep!’
At paguwi niya sa tahanan, ay titipunin niya ang kaniyang mga kaibigan at ang kaniyang mga kapitbahay, na sasabihin sa kanila, Makipagkatuwa kayo sa akin, sapagka't nasumpungan ko ang aking tupang nawala.
7 I tell you that there's more joy in heaven over a sinner that repents than over ninety-nine good people who don't need to repent.
Sinasabi ko sa inyo, na gayon din magkakatuwa sa langit dahil sa isang makasalanang nagsisisi, kay sa siyam na pu't siyam na taong matutuwid na di nangagkakailangang magsipagsisi.
8 Imagine a woman who has ten silver coins, and loses one of them. Wouldn't she light a lamp and sweep the house, carefully searching until she finds it?
O aling babae na may sangpung putol na pilak, na kung mawalan siya ng isang putol, ay hindi baga magpapaningas ng isang ilawan, at wawalisan ang bahay, at hahanaping masikap hanggang sa ito'y masumpungan niya?
9 When she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Come and celebrate with me! I've found the silver coin that I lost.’
At pagka nasumpungan niya, ay titipunin niya ang kaniyang mga kaibigan at mga kapitbahay, na sinasabi, Makipagkatuwa kayo sa akin, sapagka't nasumpungan ko ang isang putol na nawala sa akin.
10 I tell you there is joy in the presence of God's angels over one sinner that repents.
Gayon din, sinasabi ko sa inyo, na may tuwa sa harapan ng mga anghel ng Dios, dahil sa isang makasalanang nagsisisi.
11 Once there was a man who had two sons,” Jesus explained.
At sinabi niya, May isang tao na may dalawang anak na lalake:
12 “The younger one told his father, ‘Father, give me my inheritance now.’ So the man divided his property between them.
At sinabi sa kaniyang ama ng bunso, Ama, ibigay mo sa akin ang bahagi ng iyong kayamanang nauukol sa akin. At binahagi niya sa kanila ang kaniyang pagkabuhay.
13 A few days later the younger son packed up what he had and left for a distant country. Here he wasted all his money living a reckless life.
At hindi nakaraan ang maraming araw, ay tinipong lahat ng anak na bunso ang ganang kaniya, at naglakbay sa isang malayong lupain; at doo'y inaksaya ang kaniyang kabuhayan sa palunging pamumuhay.
14 After he'd spent everything, the country was hit by a severe famine and he was starving.
At nang magugol na niyang lahat, ay nagkaroon ng isang malaking kagutom sa lupaing yaon; at siya'y nagpasimulang mangailangan.
15 So he went and took a job with one of the farmers there who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
At pumaroon siya at nakisama sa isa sa mga mamamayan sa lupaing yaon; at sinugo niya siya sa kaniyang mga parang, upang magpakain ng mga baboy.
16 He was so hungry that he would have eaten even the pig food, but no one gave him anything.
At ibig sana niyang mabusog ang kaniyang tiyan ng mga ipa na kinakain ng mga baboy: at walang taong magbigay sa kaniya.
17 When he came to his senses, he said to himself, ‘All of my father's workers have more than enough to eat—why am I dying from hunger here?
Datapuwa't nang siya'y makapagisip ay sinabi niya, Ilang mga alilang upahan ng aking ama ang may sapat at lumalabis na pagkain, at ako rito'y namamatay ng gutom?
18 I'm going home to my father! I'll tell him, Father, I've sinned against heaven and against you.
Magtitindig ako at paroroon sa aking ama, at aking sasabihin sa kaniya, Ama, nagkasala ako laban sa langit, at sa iyong paningin:
19 I'm no longer worthy to be called your son. Please treat me as one of your hired workers.’
Hindi na ako karapatdapat na tawaging anak mo: gawin mo akong tulad sa isa sa iyong mga alilang upahan.
20 So he left and went home to his father. Even though he was still far away in the distance, his father saw him coming, and his heart went out to his son. The father ran to his son, hugging and kissing him.
At siya'y nagtindig, at pumaroon sa kaniyang ama. Datapuwa't samantalang nasa malayo pa siya, ay natanawan na siya ng kaniyang ama, at nagdalang habag, at tumakbo, at niyakap siya sa leeg, at siya'y hinagkan.
21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I've sinned against heaven and against you. I'm no longer worthy to be called your son.’
At sinabi ng anak sa kaniya, Ama, nagkasala ako laban sa langit, at sa iyong paningin: hindi na ako karapatdapat na tawaging anak mo.
22 But the father told his servants, ‘Quick—bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
Datapuwa't sinabi ng ama sa kaniyang mga alipin, Dalhin ninyo ritong madali ang pinakamabuting balabal, at isuot ninyo sa kaniya; at lagyan ninyo ng singsing ang kaniyang kamay, at mga panyapak ang kaniyang mga paa:
23 Bring the calf we've been fattening and kill it. Let's have a feast to celebrate
At kunin ninyo ang pinatabang guya, at inyong patayin, at tayo'y magsikain, at mangagkatuwa:
24 because this is my son who was dead, but who has returned alive; he was lost but now he's found.’ So they started celebrating.
Sapagka't patay na ang anak kong ito, at muling nabuhay; siya'y nawala, at nasumpungan. At sila'y nangagpasimulang mangagkatuwa.
25 Now the older son was working out in the fields. As he walked towards the house, he heard music and dancing.
Nasa bukid nga ang anak niyang panganay: at nang siya'y dumating at malapit sa bahay, ay narinig niya ang tugtugan at ang sayawan.
26 So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
At pinalapit niya sa kaniya ang isa sa mga alipin, at itinanong kung ano kaya ang mga bagay na yaon.
27 ‘Your brother is back,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he's come home safe and sound.’
At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Dumating ang kapatid mo; at pinatay ng iyong ama ang pinatabang guya, dahil sa siya'y tinanggap niya na ligtas at magaling.
28 The brother became angry. He refused to go in. So his father came out to plead with him.
Datapuwa't nagalit siya, at ayaw pumasok: at lumabas ang kaniyang ama, at siya'y namanhik sa kaniya.
29 He told his father, ‘Look, all these years I've served you, and never disobeyed you, but you never once gave me even a young goat so I could have a party with my friends.
Datapuwa't siya'y sumagot at sinabi sa kaniyang ama, Narito, maraming taon nang kita'y pinaglilingkuran, at kailan ma'y hindi ako sumuway sa iyong utos; at gayon ma'y hindi mo ako binigyan kailan man ng isang maliit na kambing, upang ipakipagkatuwa ko sa aking mga kaibigan:
30 Now this son of yours comes back, having spent your money on prostitutes, and you kill the fattened calf for him!’
Datapuwa't nang dumating itong anak mong umubos ng iyong pagkabuhay sa mga patutot, ay ipinagpatay mo siya ng pinatabang guya.
31 ‘Son,’ the father replied, ‘you are always here with me. Everything I have is yours.
At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Anak, ikaw ay palaging nasa akin, at iyo ang lahat ng akin.
32 But we should be happy and celebrate! This is your brother who was dead, but who has returned alive; he was lost but now he's found!’”
Datapuwa't karapatdapat mangagkatuwa at mangagsaya tayo: sapagka't patay ang kapatid mong ito, at muling nabuhay; at nawala, at nasumpungan.
