Luke 15
1 Now the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners were everywhere in the habit of coming close to Him to listen to Him;
Eta hurbiltzen ciraden harengana publicano eta gende vicitze gaichtotaco guciac, hura ençun leçatençát.
2 and this led the Pharisees and the Scribes indignantly to complain, saying, "He gives a welcome to notorious sinners, and joins them at their meals!"
Eta murmuratzen çutén Phariseuéc eta Scribéc, cioitela, hunec gende vicitze gaichtotacoac recebitzen ditu, eta iaten du hequin.
3 So in figurative language He asked them,
Baina harc erran ciecén comparatione haur, cioela,
4 "Which of you men, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in their pasture and go in search of the lost one till he finds it?
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?
5 And when he has found it, he lifts it on his shoulder, glad at heart.
Eta eriden duenean eçarten du bere sorbaldén gainean alegueraric.
6 Then coming home he calls his friends and neighbours together, and says, 'Congratulate me, for I have found my sheep--the one I had lost.'
Guero ethorriric etchera, deitzen ditu adisquideac eta auçoac, diostela, Aleguera çaitezte enequin: ecen eriden dut neure ardi galdua.
7 I tell you that in the same way there will be rejoicing in Heaven over one repentant sinner--more rejoicing than over ninety-nine blameless persons who have no need of repentance.
Erraiten drauçuet ecen hala bozcario içanen dela ceruän bekatore emendatzen den baten
8 "Or 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 till she finds it?
Edo cein emazte hamar drachma dituenec, baldin gal badeça drachmabat, eztu arguia vizten eta etchea escobatzen, eta bilhatzen diligentqui hura eriden deçaqueno?
9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, and says, "'Congratulate me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.'
Eta eriden duenean, deitzen ditu emazte adisquideac eta auçoac, dioela, Aleguera çaitezte enequin: ecen eriden dut galdu nuen drachmá.
10 "I tell you that in the same way there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one repentant sinner."
Hala, diotsuet, bozcario içanen dela Iaincoaren Aingueruén aitzinean, bekatore emendatzen den baten gainean.
11 He went on to say, "There was a man who had two sons.
Halaber erran ceçan, Guiçon batec cituen bi seme:
12 The younger of them said to his father, "'Father, give me the share of the property that comes to me.' "So he divided his wealth between them.
Eta hetaric gaztenac erran cieçón aitári, Aitá, indac onhassunetic niri heltzen çaitadan partea. Eta parti cietzén onac.
13 No long time afterwards the younger son got all together and travelled to a distant country, where he wasted his money in debauchery and excess.
Eta egun gutiren buruän, guciac bilduric seme gaztenor ioan cedin herri vrrun batetara: eta han irion ceçan bere onhassuna, prodigoqui vici içanez.
14 At last, when he had spent everything, there came a terrible famine throughout that country, and he began to feel the pinch of want.
Gucia despendatu vkan çuenean, eguin içan cen gossete gogorbat herri hartan, eta hura has cedin behar içaten:
15 So he went and hired himself to one of the inhabitants of that country, who sent him on to his farm to tend swine;
Eta ioanic leku hartaco burgés batequin iar cedin, eta harc igor ceçan bere possessionetara vrdén bazcatzera.
16 and he longed to make a hearty meal of the pods the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
Eta desir çuen vrdéc iaten çuten maguinchetaric bere sabelaren bethatzera: eta nehorc etzeraucan emaiten.
17 "But on coming to himself he said, "'How many of my father's hired men have more bread than they want, while I here am dying of hunger!
Eta bere buruäri ohart cequionean, erran ceçan, Cembat alocacer diraden ene aitaren etchean oguia frango dutenic, eta ni gossez hiltzen bainaiz!
18 I will rise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you:
Iaiquiric ioanen naiz neure aitagana, eta erranen draucat, Aitá, huts eguin diat ceruären contra, eta hire aitzinean.
19 I no longer deserve to be called a son of yours: treat me as one of your hired men.'
Eta guehiagoric eznauc digne hire seme deitzeco: eguin neçac eure alocaceretaric bat beçala.
20 "So he rose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and pitied him, and ran and threw his arms round his neck and kissed him tenderly.
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.
21 "'Father,' cried the son, 'I have sinned against Heaven and before you: no longer do I deserve to be called a son of yours.'
Eta erran cieçón semeac, Aitá, huts eguin diat ceruären contra, eta hire aitzinean, eta guehiagoric eznauc digne hire seme deitzeco.
22 "But the father said to his servants, "'Fetch a good coat quickly--the best one--and put it on him; and bring a ring for his finger and shoes for his feet.
Orduan erran ciecén aitác bere cerbitzariey, Ekarçue arropa principalena, eta iaunz eçoçue: eta emoçue erhaztumbat bere escura, eta çapatac oinetara:
23 Fetch the fat calf and kill it, and let us feast and enjoy ourselves;
Eta ekarriric aretze guicena, hil eçaçue: eta iaten dugula atseguin har deçagun.
24 for my son here was dead and has come to life again: he was lost and has been found.' "And they began to be merry.
Ecen ene seme haur hil cen, eta harçara viztu da: galdu cen, eta eriden da. Eta has citecen atseguin hartzen.
25 "Now his elder son was out on the farm; and when he returned and came near home, he heard music and dancing.
Eta cen haren seme çaharrena landán, eta ethorten cela etcheari hurbildu çayonean, ençun citzan melodiá eta dançác.
26 Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant.
Eta deithuric cerbitzarietaric bat, interroga ceçan hura cer cen.
27 "'Your brother has come,' he replied; 'and your father has had the fat calf killed, because he has got him home safe and sound.'
Eta harc erran cieçón, hire anaye ethorri içan duc, eta hil vkan dic hire aitac aretze guicembat, ceren ossoric hura recebitu duen.
28 "Then he was angry and would not go in. But his father came out and entreated him.
Eta asserre cedin: eta etzén sarthu nahi içan: bere aitác bada ilkiric othoitz eguin cieçon.
29 "'All these years,' replied the son, 'I have been slaving for you, and I have never at any time disobeyed any of your orders, and yet you have never given me so much as a kid, for me to enjoy myself with my friends;
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.
30 but now that this son of yours is come who has eaten up your property among his bad women, you have killed the fat calf for him.'
Baina hire seme haur, ceinec iretsi vkan baitu hire onhassun gucia putéquin, ethorri içan denean, hil vkan draucac huni aretze guicena.
31 "'You my dear son,' said the father, 'are always with me, and all that is mine is also yours.
Eta harc erran cieçón, Semé, hi bethi enequin aiz, eta ene gucia hire duc:
32 We are bound to make merry and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life, he was lost and has been found.'"
Eta atseguin hartu behar çuán eta alegueratu, ceren hire anaye haur hil baitzén, eta viztu baita, galdu baitzén, eta eriden baita.
