< Luke 15 >

1 Many [HYP] tax collectors and [others whom people considered to be] habitual sinners kept coming to Jesus to listen to him teach.
Karon ang tanan nga mga maniningil ug buhis ug ang ubang makasasala niadto kang Jesus aron maminaw kaniya.
2 The Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws [who were there] [SYN] began to grumble, saying, “This man welcomes sinners and he also [defiles himself by eating] with them!”
Ang Pariseo ug ang mga manunulat nagbagulbol sa usag usa, unya miingon, “Kining tawhana gadawat ug mga makasasala, ug gakaon pa gayod kauban nila.”
3 So Jesus told them this parable:
Nagsugilon si Jesus ug sambingay kanila,
4 “Suppose that one of you had 100 sheep. If one of them were lost, (you [(sg)] would certainly leave the 99 sheep in the pasture, and go and search for the one lost sheep until you found it./would you not leave the 99 sheep in the pasture, and go and search for the one lost sheep until you found it?) [RHQ]
“Kinsa kaninyo, kung kamo adunay 100 nga nating karnero unya nawala ang isa, dili ba ninyo biyaan ang 99 sa kamingawan, aron pangitaon ang isa nga nawala hangtod nga makaplagan ninyo kini?
5 When you [(sg)] found it, you would put it on your shoulders and be happy.
Unya sa dihang makaplagan na ninyo kini, pas-anon ninyo kini ug ibutang sa inyong abaga ug magmalipayon.”
6 When you brought it home, you would call together your friends and neighbors and say to them, ‘Be happy with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost!’
Sa dihang pag-abot ninyo sa balay, tawagon ninyo ang tanan ninyong mga higala ug silingan, ug moingon kanila, 'Pagmalipayon kamo uban kanako, tungod kay nakaplagan ko na ang akong karnero nga nawala.'
7 I tell you [(pl)] that similarly [God] will be very happy about each and every sinner who turns from doing evil. God is not happy about 99 people who [think that they] are [IRO] righteous and think that they do not need to turn from doing evil.
Ako moingon kaninyo sa sama nga paagi, nga mas aduna pa'y kalipay sa langit tungod sa isa ka makasasala nga naghinulsol, kaysa sa 99 ka matarong nga mga tawo nga dili na kinahanglan maghinulsol.
8 Or, suppose that a woman has ten [very valuable] silver coins. If she loses one of them, (she will certainly light a lamp and sweep the floor and search carefully until she finds it!/will she not light a lamp and sweep the floor and search carefully until she finds it?) [RHQ]
O kinsa nga babaye ang adunay pulo ka sinsilyo, kung mawala niya ang isa niini, dili ba niya dagkotan ang lampara, silhigan ang balay, ug makugihon nga mangita hangtod nga makaplagan niya kini?
9 When she finds it, she will call together her friends and neighbors and say, ‘Be happy with me, [because] I have found the coin that I lost!’
Ug sa dihang makaplagan na niya kini, tawagon niya ang iyang mga higala ug silingan, ug moingon, 'Pagmalipayon kamo uban kanako, tungod kay nakaplagan ko na ang isa ka sinsilyo nga akong nawala, '
10 I tell you that similarly the angels will be happy about [even just] one sinner who turns from doing evil.”
Ug sama usab, ako moingon kaninyo, adunay kalipay sa presensya sa mga anghel sa Dios alang sa isa ka makasasala nga naghinulsol.”
11 Then [Jesus told them this parable to compare what the Pharisees and teachers of the Jewish law thought about those who turn from their sinful behavior with what God thinks about such people]. He said, “A certain man had two sons.
Unya miingon si Jesus, “Ang usa ka tawo adunay duha ka lalaki nga anak,
12 One day the younger son said to his father, ‘Father, [I do not want to wait until you(sg) die]. Give me now the share of your property that belongs to me!’ So the man divided his property between his two sons.
ug ang kamanghoran miingon sa ilang amahan, 'Amahan, ihatag na kanako karon ang akong panulondon nga katigayonan.” Mao nga gibahin sa amahan ang iyang kabtangan tali kanila.
13 A few days later, the younger son [sold his share]. He gathered his money and other things together and went to a country far away. There he spent all his money foolishly in reckless/wild living.
Sa wala pa milabay ang pipila ka adlaw, ang kamanghoran nga anak, namutos ug naglakaw ngadto sa layo nga lugar, ug giusik-usikan niya ang iyang salapi sa abunda nga pagpuyo.
14 After he had spent all his money, there was a great famine throughout that country. And soon he did not have enough [food to] eat.
Ug pagkahuman niyag gasto niining tanan, adunay dakong kagutom ang nahitabo sa maong lugar, mao nga nahiabot siya sa kawalad-on.
15 So he went to one of the landowners in that area and asked for work. The man sent him to work taking care of the pigs in his field.
Milakaw siya ug nagtrabaho sa isa ka lungsoranon sa maong kaumahan, unya iya siyang gisugo ngadto sa iyang uma aron magpakaon sa mga baboy.
16 [Because he was very hungry], he would have been glad to eat the bean pods that the pigs ate. But no one gave him anything to eat.
Ug gusto unta siya mokaon ug panit sa mga liso tungod kay wala gayoy naghatag kaniya ug bisan unsa nga pagkaon.
17 Finally he thought clearly about what he had done. He said to himself, ‘All of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food! They have more [SYN] than they can eat, but here I am dying because I do not have anything to eat [HYP]!
Apan sa dihang ang kamanghoran nga anak nakahunahuna sa iyang kaugalingon, siya miingon, 'Pila ka sulugoon sa akong amahan ang adunay sakto nga pagkaon, unya ako ania, mamatay na sa ka gutom!
18 So I will leave here and go back to my father. I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against God [MTY, EUP] and against you [(sg)].
Mohawa ko ngari ug moadto sa akong amahan, ug sultihan ko siya, “Amahan, nakasala ako batok sa langit, ug sa imong panan-aw.
19 I am no longer worthy to be called {of [you] calling me} your son. Just hire me to be like one of the other hired servants.”’
Dili na gayod ako takos nga tawagon nga imong anak; himoa na lang ko nga isa sa imong mga sulugoon.”
20 So he left there and went back to his father’s house. But while he was still some distance from the house, his father saw him. He pitied him. He ran to his son and embraced him and kissed him [on the cheek].
Mao nga ang kamanghoran nga anak mipahawa ug miadto sa iyang amahan. Samtang layo pa siya, nakita siya sa iyang amahan, ug natandog sa tumang kaluoy, midagan, migakos ug mihalok kaniya.
21 His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against God [MTY/EUP] and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called {of [you] calling me} your son.’
Ang anak miingon, 'Amahan, nakasala ako batok sa langit, ug sa imong panan-aw. Dili na gayod ako takos nga tawagon nga imong anak.”
22 But his father said to his servants, ‘Go quickly and bring to me the best robe [in the house]! Then put it on my son. Put a ring on his finger [to show that I am honoring him again as my son]! Put sandals on his feet [to show that I do not consider him to be a slave]!
Ang amahan miingon sa iyang mga sulugoon, 'Dad-a karon dayon ang labing maayo nga kupo ug ipasul-ob kini kaniya, sul-obi iyang tudlo ug sing-sing, ug hatagi siyag sandalyas saiyang tiil.
23 Then bring the fat calf and kill it [and cook it]. We [(inc)] must eat and celebrate,
Unya dad-a ang tambok nga nating baka ug ihawa kini. Mangaon kita ug magkumbira.
24 because my son has returned! [It is as though] [MET] he was dead and is alive again! [It is as though] he was lost and now has been found!’ So they did that, and they all began to celebrate.
Tungod kay ang akong anak namatay na, ug karon nabuhi. Siya nawala, apan karon nakaplagan.' Unya nagsugod na sila ug kumbira.
25 While all that was happening, the man’s older son was out [working] in the field. When he came near to the house, he heard [people playing] music and dancing.
Karon ang iyang kamagulangan nga anak tua sa uma. Sa dihang duol na siya sa balay, nakadungog siya ug sonata ug panagsayaw.
26 He called one of the servants and asked what was happening.
Mitawag siya sa usa ka sulugoon ug nangutana kung unsa ang pasabot niining mga butanga.
27 The servant said to him, ‘Your [younger] brother has come [home] Your father has [told us to] kill the fat calf [to celebrate] because your brother has returned safe and healthy.’
Ang sulugoon mitubag, 'Ang imong igsoon mibalik na sa balay ug gipaihaw sa imong amahan ang tambok nga nating baka, tungod kay siya nibalik nga luwas.
28 [But] the older brother was angry. He refused to enter [the house]. So his father came out and pleaded with him [to come in].
Ang kamagulangan nga anak nasuko, ug wala gayod misulod, apan ang iyang amahan nigawas ug gihangyo siya.
29 But he replied to his father, ‘Listen to me! For many years I have worked for you like a slave. I always obeyed everything you told me to do. But you never even gave me a young goat, so that I could [kill it and cook it and] celebrate with my friends.
Mitubag ang kamagulangan nga anak, 'Paminaw, sa pila ka tuig nga ako nagpakaulipon diha kanimo, ug wala gayod ako nagsupak sa imong balaod, apan bisag nating kanding wala mo man lang ako gihatagan aron makalipay-lipay ako kauban ang akong mga higala,
30 But this son of yours spent all the [money he got from] what you gave him. He spent it [to pay for sleeping with] prostitutes! Yes, now he has returned home, [but it is not fair that] you have told your [servants] to kill the fat calf [and cook it] for him!’
apan sa dihang niabot ang imong anak, nga maoy nagguba sa imong pagpamuyo uban sa mga babaye nga gabaligya ug dungog, giihaw nimo alang kaniya ang tambok nga nating baka.'
31 But his father said to him, ‘My son, you have always been with me, and all my property [that I did not give to your brother] has been yours.
Ang amahan miingon kaniya, 'Anak, kanunay kang anaa kanako, ug ang tanan nga akoang gipanag-iyahan imuha usab.
32 But [it is as though] [MET] your brother was dead and is alive again! [It is as though] he was lost and now he has been found! So it is appropriate for us to be happy and celebrate!’”
Apan kinahanglan gayod nga kita magkumbira ug maglipay, tungod kay kining imong igsoon namatay, unya nabuhi; siya nawala, ug karon nakaplagan.''
