< Luke 15 >

1 And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming nigh to him, to hear him,
A LAILA hele aku la io na la ka poe lunaauhau a pau, a me ka poe hewa e hoolohe ia ia.
2 and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying — This one doth receive sinners, and doth eat with them.'
A ohumu iho la ka poe Parisaio a me ka poe kakauolelo, i ae la, Ua hoolauna oia nei me ka poe hewa, a ua ai pu no hoi me lakou.
3 And he spake unto them this simile, saying,
Olelo mai la oia i keia olelonane ia lakou, i mai la,
4 'What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost one out of them, doth not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go on after the lost one, till he may find it?
Owai ke kanaka iwaena o oukou he poe hipa kana hookahi haneri, a nalowale kekahi o lakou, aole anei ia i waiho aku i na hipa he kanaiwakumamaiwa ma ka waonahele, a imi aku i ka mea i nalowale a loaa ia ia ia?
5 and having found, he doth lay [it] on his shoulders rejoicing,
A loaa, alaila e kau ia ia ma kona poohiwi me ka olioli?
6 and having come to the house, he doth call together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep — the lost one.
A hiki mai ia i ka hale, houlunlu oia i na hoaaloha a me na hoalauna, me ka olelo ia lakou, E hauoli pu mai me au; no ka mea, ua loaa ia'u kuu wahi hipa i nalowale.
7 'I say to you, that so joy shall be in the heaven over one sinner reforming, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men, who have no need of reformation.
Ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, ua oi aku ka olioli ma ka lani no ke kanaka hewa hookahi e mihi ana, mamua o na kanaka maikai he kanaiwakumamaiwa aole pono ia lakou ke mihi.
8 'Or what woman having ten drachms, if she may lose one drachm, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully till that she may find?
A owai la hoi ka wahine he mau hapawalu kana he umi, a i nalowale kekahi, aole ia e kuni i ke kukui a kahili i ka hale, a imi ikaika a loaa ia ia ia?
9 and having found, she doth call together the female friends and the neighbours, saying, Rejoice with me, for I found the drachm that I lost.
A loaa, e houluulu no ia i na hoaaloha a me na hoalauna, a olelo aku, E hauoli pu mai me au; no ka mea, ua loaa ia'u ka hapawalu i nalowale.
10 'So I say to you, joy doth come before the messengers of God over one sinner reforming.'
Pela hoi, ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, He olioli no imua o ke alo o ko ke Akua poe anela i ke kanaka hewa hookahi e mihi ana.
11 And he said, 'A certain man had two sons,
I mai la hoi ia, O kekahi kanaka elua ana keiki.
12 and the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the portion of the substance falling to [me], and he divided to them the living.
Olelo aku la ke kaikaina i kona makuakane, E ka makua, e haawi mai oe ia'u i ko'u puu o ka waiwai. A mahele iho la oia i ka waiwai no lana,
13 'And not many days after, having gathered all together, the younger son went abroad to a far country, and there he scattered his substance, living riotously;
Aole nui na la mahope iho houluulu mai ke keiki pokii i kana a pau, hele aku la ia i ka aina loihi aku: a malaila ia i hoomaunauna aku ai i kana waiwai e noho uhauha ana.
14 and he having spent all, there came a mighty famine on that country, and himself began to be in want;
A hoopau aku la oia i kana a pau, nui aku la ka wi o kela aina, a nele iho la ia.
15 and having gone on, he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him to the fields to feed swine,
Hele ae la hoi ia a hoopili aku me kekahi kamaaina o ua aina la: a hoouna ae la oia ia ia i kona mau aina e hanai puaa.
16 and he was desirous to fill his belly from the husks that the swine were eating, and no one was giving to him.
A e ake no ia e hoopiha i kona opu me na hua keratio a na puaa i ai ai, aole hoi mea nana i haawi ia ia.
17 'And having come to himself, he said, How many hirelings of my father have a superabundance of bread, and I here with hunger am perishing!
A loaa oia ia ia iho, i iho la ia. He nui ka poe paaua a ko'u makuakane, he ai ka lakou e maona ai a koe aku, a e make ana hoi au i ka pololi!
18 having risen, I will go on unto my father, and will say to him, Father, I did sin — to the heaven, and before thee,
E ku au a e hele aku i kuu makuakane, a e olelo aku au ia ia, E kuu makua, ua hana hewa aku wau i ka lani a ia oe;
19 and no more am I worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hirelings.
Aole au e pono ke kapa hou ia mai he keiki nau; e hoohalike mai oe ia'u me kekahi o kau poe paaua.
20 'And having risen, he went unto his own father, and he being yet far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having ran he fell upon his neck and kissed him;
A en ae la ia a hele mai i kona makuakane: a ia ia i kahi loihi aku, ike aku la kona makuakane ia ia, hu ae la kona aloha, holo aku la ia, apo aku la i kona a-i, a honi aku la ia ia.
21 and the son said to him, Father, I did sin — to the heaven, and before thee, and no more am I worthy to be called thy son.
I mai la ke keiki ia ia, E ka makua, ua hana hewa aku wau i ka lani, a ia oe, aole e pono ke kapa hou ia mai he keiki nau.
22 'And the father said unto his servants, Bring forth the first robe, and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and sandals for the feet;
Aka, i aku la ka makua i kana mau kauwa, E lawe mai i ka aahu maikai loa, a e hoaahu ae ia ia; a e hookomo i ke komolima ma kona lima, a me na kamaa ma kona mau wawae;
23 and having brought the fatted calf, kill [it], and having eaten, we may be merry,
A e lawe mai hoi i ke keiki bipi i kupaluia, e kalua; a e ai kakou me ka olioli;
24 because this my son was dead, and did live again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.
No ka mea, ua make keia keiki a'u, a na ola hou mai nei; nalowale aku la hoi ia, a ua loaa mai net A ahaaina iho la lakou me ka olioli.
25 'And his elder son was in a field, and as, coming, he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing,
A o kana keiki hiapo, aia no ia ma ka waena; a i kona hele ana mai a kokoke i ka hale, lohe iho la ia i ka hula a me ka haa ana.
26 and having called near one of the young men, he was inquiring what these things might be,
Kahea mai la ia i kekahi o ka poe kauwa, ninau mai la i ke ano o ia mau mea.
27 and he said to him — Thy brother is arrived, and thy father did kill the fatted calf, because in health he did receive him back.
Hai aku la hoi oia ia ia, Ua hiki mai kou kaikaina; a ua kalua iho nei kou makuakane i ke keiki bipi i kupaluia, no ka mea, ua loaa mai nei oia ia ia e ola ana.
28 'And he was angry, and would not go in, therefore his father, having come forth, was entreating him;
Huhu iho la ia, aole i makemako e komo iloko. Nolai la i hele aku ai kona makuakane iwaho, a nonoi aku ia ia.
29 and he answering said to the father, Lo, so many years I do serve thee, and never thy command did I transgress, and to me thou didst never give a kid, that with my friends I might make merry;
Olelo mai la ia i kona makuakane, Eia hoi, he nui no neia mau makahiki a'u i malama aku ai ia oe, aole hoi au i hoohala iki i kau olelo; aole loa hoi oe i haawi mai i wahi keiki kao na'u e ahaaina olioli pu ai au me ko'u mau honaloha;
30 but when thy son — this one who did devour thy living with harlots — came, thou didst kill to him the fatted calf.
Aka hoi, i ka hoi ana mai o keia keiki au ka mea i hokai aku i kou waiwai me na wahine hookamakama, ua kalua koke no oe nana i ke keiki bipi i kupaluia.
31 'And he said to him, Child, thou art always with me, and all my things are thine;
A i aku la oia ia ia, E ka'u keiki, ua noho mau oe me au, a o na mea a pau a'u, o kau no ia.
32 but to be merry, and to be glad, it was needful, because this thy brother was dead, and did live again, he was lost, and was found.'
He mea pono no kakou e ahaaina olioli a me ka hauoli; no ka mea, o kou kaikaina nei, ua make no ia, a na ola hou mai nei; nalowale aku la ia, a ua loaa mai nei.
