Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
Hene niropak’ am’ Iesoà amy zao o mpamory vili-lohao rekets’ o bey hakeoo hijanjiñe aze.
2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
Le hoe ty fitreontreo’ o Fariseoo naho o mpanoki-dilio: Mandrambe mpanan-tahiñe t’indaty tia vaho mitrao-pilintseñe ama’e.
3 He told them this parable:
Aa le nirazaña’e ty hoe:
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?
Ia ama’ areo aman’ añondry zato, ie rereke ty raike, ty tsy hienga i sivampolo sive’ amby rey an-tameañe ey heike, hihitrihitry hitsoeke i motsoy ampara’ te tendreke?
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Ie isa’e, le anoe’e ega vaho ifalea’e,
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!’
le ie pok’ añ’ anjomba’e ao, atonto’e o rañe’eo naho o marineo vaho anoe’e ty hoe: Antao hitrao-kaehak’ amako, fa nitreako i añondriko nimotsoy.
7 I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
Itaroñako te hirebeke ty andindiñe ao ami’ty bei-hakeo misoloho te ami’ty maren-tane sivampolo sive’ amby tsy aman-kisolohoa’e.
8 “Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
Ia ka ty rakemba aman-tsanganolo folo, ie motso ty raike ro tsy handrehetse jiro, hipio anjomba hikodebe ampara’ te isa’e?
9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’
Ie zoe’e ro mamory o rañe’eo naho o mpifankarine ama’eo hanao ty hoe: Antao hitrao pinembanembañ’ amako; fa nitreako i tsanganolo nimotsoy.
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
Itaroñako te firebehañe ty añatrefa’ o anjelin’ Añahareo ami’ty fibaboha’ ty mpanan-tahiñe raike.
11 He said, “A certain man had two sons.
Tinovo’e ty hoe: Teo t’indaty aman’anadahy roe.
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
Le hoe ty zai’e aman-drae’e: O aba, atoloro ahy ty anjara lovako. Le zinara’e am’ iereo ty fiveloma’e.
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.
Ie modo ty andro tsy ampeampe le hene natonton-jai’e naho nifokofoko mb’an-tsietoitane añe vaho nirite’e ami’ty hatsivokarañe o fanaña’eo.
14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
Ie nikapioke, nitondroke ty san-kerè mena amy taney vaho nirota.
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
Aa le niavotse re, noly amy t’indaty tompo-tane nañirak’ aze hiara-dambo an-tete’e añe.
16 He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
Le naìna’e te ho nañatseke ty tro’e amo hara’e fihanen-damboo, fe tsy eo ty namahañe aze.
17 But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!
Ie nitombalin-dre, le hoe ty fisafiri’e: Firefire amo mpikarama aman-draeko añeo ro tsy enen-kaneñe, zaho mifeake ty kerè atoy!
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
Hiavotse raho himpoly mb’ aman-draeko añe, le hanoeko ty hoe: Ry aba, aman-kakeo andindìñey naho ama’o raho
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
le tsy mañev’ ahy te hatao ana’o, ehe apoho ho mpiamo tsimañaja’oo.
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, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Aa le niongake re nimpoly mb’ aman-drae’e añe. Ie mbe eñe te nitalaken-drae’e naho niferenaiña’e; vaho nihitrihitry mb’ ama’e mb’eo nametreke ty fititia’e naho norofa’e.
21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
Fa hoe ty nanoa’ i ana’ey: O aba, aman-tahiñe andindìñey naho ama’o raho, tsy mañeva ahy ty hatao ty hoe ana’o ka.
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
Fe hoe ty rae’e amo mpitoro’eo: Hitrifo masika kirahe i sarimbo soay le isaroño; añombeo bange o taña’eo naho hana o tombo’eo
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
le endeso atoy i ana-bosy vinondrakey, lentao; naho antao hikama vaho hifale.
24 for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
Amy te nihomake ty anako toy naho nivañom-beloñe, nimotso vaho nitrea. Aa le nifale iereo.
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Tan-tetek’ añe i zoke’ey; aa ie nañarine i anjombay, le nahatsanom-peon-kafaleañe naho tsinjake.
26 He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
Le tsinikao’e ty mpitoroñe, naho nañontane ty foto’ o raha zao.
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.’
Le hoe ty nanoa’ i mpitoroñey: Nivotrak’ atoy i rahalahi’oy; aa kanao nijaranjaiñe i anadahi’ey, le vinonon-drae’o i ana-bosy vinondrakey.
28 But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
Nioroñoroñe amy zao re nifoneñe tsy hizilik’ ao; aa le niakatse ty rae’e hañohò aze.
29 But he answered his 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.
Fe hoe re aman-drae’e: Hete, fa haehae ty nitoroñako azo, le tsy nililareko ndra mbia’ mbia o lili’oo; fe mbe lia’e tsy nitolara’o ndra ty vi’e hifalefaleako amo rañekoo.
30 But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
Ie niloneake eo i ana-dahi’o nampianto ty harea’o amo tsimirirañeoy, le linenta’o i temboay vinondrakey.
31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
Aa hoe ty saontsin-drae’e tama’e: O anake, toe amako etoañe nainai’e rehe; fonga azo o hanañakoo.
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.’”
Fe evàe’e t’ie mifale naho mirebeke; amy te nihomake i rahalahi’oy f’ie nibodañe, nirereke fe nitendreke.
