Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
tadaa karasa ncaayina. h paapina"sca lokaa upade"skathaa. m "srotu. m yii"so. h samiipam aagacchan|
2 The Pharisees [Separated] and the Torah-Teachers murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”

3 He told them this parable.
tadaa sa tebhya imaa. m d. r.s. taantakathaa. m kathitavaan,
4 “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?
kasyacit "satame. se. su ti. s.thatmu te. saameka. m sa yadi haarayati tarhi madhyepraantaram ekona"satame. saan vihaaya haaritame. sasya udde"sapraaptiparyyanata. m na gave. sayati, etaad. r"so loko yu. smaaka. m madhye ka aaste?
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
tasyodde"sa. m praapya h. r.s. tamanaasta. m skandhe nidhaaya svasthaanam aaniiya bandhubaandhavasamiipavaasina aahuuya vakti,
6 When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’
haarita. m me. sa. m praaptoham ato heto rmayaa saarddham aanandata|
7 I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who does teshuvah ·turn repent·, than over ninety-nine upright people who need no teshuvah ·complete repentance·.

8 Or what woman, if she had ten drachma [est. 0.35 oz; est. 10 g] coins, if she lost one drachma [est. 0.035 oz; est. 1 g] coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?

9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma [est. 0.035 oz; est. 1 g] which I had lost.’
praapte sati bandhubaandhavasamiipavaasiniiraahuuya kathayati, haarita. m ruupyakha. n.da. m praaptaaha. m tasmaadeva mayaa saarddham aanandata|
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner making teshuvah ·complete repentance·.”
tadvadaha. m yu. smaan vyaaharaami, ekena paapinaa manasi parivarttite, ii"svarasya duutaanaa. m madhyepyaanando jaayate|
11 He said, “A certain man had two sons.
apara nca sa kathayaamaasa, kasyacid dvau putraavaastaa. m,
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, give me my share of your property.’ He divided his livelihood between them.

13 Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.

14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
tasya sarvvadhane vyaya. m gate tadde"se mahaadurbhik. sa. m babhuuva, tatastasya dainyada"saa bhavitum aarebhe|
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
tata. h para. m sa gatvaa tadde"siiya. m g. rhasthamekam aa"srayata; tata. h sata. m "suukaravraja. m caarayitu. m praantara. m pre. sayaamaasa|
16 He wanted to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.

17 But when he came to himself he said, ‘How many hired servants of my Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!
"se. se sa manasi cetanaa. m praapya kathayaamaasa, haa mama pitu. h samiipe kati kati vetanabhujo daasaa yathe. s.ta. m tatodhika nca bhak. sya. m praapnuvanti kintvaha. m k. sudhaa mumuur. su. h|
18 I will get up and go to my Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, and will tell him, “Abba ·Father·, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight.
ahamutthaaya pitu. h samiipa. m gatvaa kathaametaa. m vadi. syaami, he pitar ii"svarasya tava ca viruddha. m paapamakaravam
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
tava putraiti vikhyaato bhavitu. m na yogyosmi ca, maa. m tava vaitanika. m daasa. m k. rtvaa sthaapaya|
20 “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, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
pa"scaat sa utthaaya pitu. h samiipa. m jagaama; tatastasya pitaatiduure ta. m niriik. sya dayaa ncakre, dhaavitvaa tasya ka. n.tha. m g. rhiitvaa ta. m cucumba ca|
21 The son said to him, ‘Abba ·Father·, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
tadaa putra uvaaca, he pitar ii"svarasya tava ca viruddha. m paapamakarava. m, tava putraiti vikhyaato bhavitu. m na yogyosmi ca|
22 “But the Abba father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.
kintu tasya pitaa nijadaasaan aadide"sa, sarvvottamavastraa. nyaaniiya paridhaapayataina. m haste caa"nguriiyakam arpayata paadayo"scopaanahau samarpayata;
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate;
pu. s.ta. m govatsam aaniiya maarayata ca ta. m bhuktvaa vayam aanandaama|
24 for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’ They began to celebrate.
yato mama putroyam amriyata punarajiiviid haarita"sca labdhobhuut tatasta aananditum aarebhire|
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.

26 He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on.
daasaanaam ekam aahuuya papraccha, ki. m kaara. namasya?
27 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.’
tata. h sovaadiit, tava bhraataagamat, tava taata"sca ta. m su"sariira. m praapya pu. s.ta. m govatsa. m maaritavaan|
28 But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore his father came out, and begged him.
tata. h sa prakupya nive"sanaanta. h prave. s.tu. m na sammene; tatastasya pitaa bahiraagatya ta. m saadhayaamaasa|
29 But he answered his Abba 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.
tata. h sa pitara. m pratyuvaaca, pa"sya tava kaa ncidapyaaj naa. m na vila. mghya bahuun vatsaraan aha. m tvaa. m seve tathaapi mitrai. h saarddham utsava. m karttu. m kadaapi chaagamekamapi mahya. m naadadaa. h;
30 But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’

31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
tadaa tasya pitaavocat, he putra tva. m sarvvadaa mayaa sahaasi tasmaan mama yadyadaaste tatsarvva. m tava|
32 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.’”
