Lioka 15
1 Ary ny mpamory hetra rehetra sy ny mpanota nanatona hihaino an’ i Jesosy.
And all the publicans and the sinners were drawing near to him, to hear him.
2 Dia nimonomonona ny Fariseo sy ny mpanora-dalàna ka nanao hoe: Ilehity mandray ny mpanota ka miara-mihinana aminy.
And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Fa Izy nanao izao fanoharana izao taminy hoe:
And he spoke to them this parable, saying,
4 Iza moa no olona aminareo, izay manana ondry zato, ka very ny anankiray, no tsy mandao ny sivy amby sivi-folo any an-efitra ka mandeha hitady ilay very mandra-pahitany azy?
What man of you having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth it?
5 ary rehefa hitany iny, dia ataony eo an-tsorony, ka dia faly izy;
And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 ary rehefa tonga ao an-trano izy, dia mamory ny sakaizany sy ny namany ka manao aminy hoe: Avia hiara-mifaly amiko; fa efa hitako ilay ondriko very.
And when he hath come home, he calleth together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 Lazaiko aminareo fa hisy fifaliana toy izany any an-danitra ny amin’ ny mpanota iray izay mibebaka noho ny amin’ ny olona marina sivy amby sivi-folo, izay tsy misy tokony hibebahany.
I say to you, that in like manner there will be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of repentance.
8 Ary iza moa no vehivavy manana farantsakely folo, ka very ny anankiray, no tsy mampirehitra jiro ka mifafa trano sy mitady fatratra mandra-pahitany azy?
Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search carefully till she findeth it?
9 Ary raha hitany iny, dia mamory ny vehivavy sakaizany sy ny namany izy ka manao hoe: Avia hiara-mifaly amiko; fa efa hitako ny farantsakely izay very.
And when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I lost.
10 Lazaiko aminareo fa misy fifaliana toy izany eo anatrehan’ ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra ny amin’ ny mpanota iray izay mibebaka.
I say to you, that thus there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11 Ary hoy Jesosy: Nisy lehilahy anankiray nanana zanaka mirahalahy.
He said also, A certain man had two sons.
12 Ary hoy ilay zandriny tamin-drainy: Raiko, omeo ahy ny anjara-fananana tokony ho ahy. Dia nozarainy tamin’ izy mirahalahy ny fananany.
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of the property that falleth to me. And he divided to them his living.
13 Ary nony afaka kelikely, dia nangonin’ ilay zandriny ny fananany rehetra, ka lasa nankany an-tany lavitra izy, dia nandany ny fananany tamin’ ny fiveloman-dratsy tany.
And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, and went abroad into a far country; and there wasted his substance in riotous living.
14 Ary rehefa laniny avokoa ny fananany rehetra, dia nisy mosary mafy tamin’ izany tany izany, ka nahantra izy.
And when he had spent all, there arose a great famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
15 Dia nandeha izy ka niankina tamin’ ny tompon-tany anankiray tamin’ izany tany izany, ary dia nirahiny tany an-tsahany hiandry kisoa.
And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 Ary satriny hameno ny kibony tamin’ ny voan-kazo fihinan’ ny kisoa, fa tsy nisy nanome azy.
And he longed to fill himself with the husks that the swine ate; and no one gave to him.
17 Ary raha nody ny sainy, dia hoy izy: Indrisy maro ny olona karamain’ ny raiko manan-kanina be dia be, fa izaho kosa maty mosary eto!
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger!
18 Hiainga aho, dia hody any amin’ ny raiko ka hanao aminy hoe: Raiko ô, efa nanota tamin’ ny lanitra sy teo anatrehanao aho
I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before thee;
19 ka tsy miendrika hatao hoe zanakao intsony; fa ataovy tahaka ny anankiray amin’ ny olona karamainao aho.
I am no longer worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 Dia niainga izy ka nankany amin-drainy. Fa raha mbola lavitra izy, dia tazan-drainy, ary onena azy izy ka nihazakazaka, dia namihina ny vozony sady nanoroka azy.
And he arose, and went to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 Ary ilay zanany nanao taminy hoe: Raiko ô, efa nanota tamin’ ny lanitra sy teo anatrehanao aho ka tsy miendrika hatao hoe zanakao intsony.
And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.
22 Fa rainy kosa nanao tamin’ ny ankizilahiny hoe: Alao haingana ny akanjo tsara indrindra ka ampiakanjoy azy; ary asio peratra ny tànany sy kapa ny tongony;
But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet.
23 ary ento ny zanak’ omby nafahy, ka vonoy; ary aoka isika hihinana sy hifaly;
And bring the fatted calf; kill it, and let us eat and make merry.
24 fa ity zanako ity efa maty, fa velona indray, ary efa very, fa hita indray. Dia nifaly izy.
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to make merry.
25 Fa tany an-tsaha ny zanany lahimatoa; ary nony nody izy ka mby teo akaiky ny trano, dia nandre zava-maneno sy dihy.
Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 Ary niantso ankizilahy anankiray izy ka nanontany azy izay anton’ izany zavatra izany.
And calling one of the servants, he inquired what these things meant.
27 Ary hoy ilay ankizilahy taminy: Tonga ny rahalahinao, ka namono ny zanak’ omby nafahy ny rainao, satria efa tafaverina soa aman-tsara ato aminy izy.
And he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28 Dia tezitra izy ka tsy nety niditra; ary nivoaka rainy ka nampandroso azy.
But he was angry, and would not go in; and his father came out, and entreated him.
29 Fa izy namaly ka nanao tamin-drainy hoe: Indro, izay ela izay aho no efa nanompo anao ka tsy mbola nandika ny didinao na dia indray mandeha akory aza; nefa izaho tsy mbola nomenao na dia zanak’ osy aza mba hifaliako amin’ ny sakaizako;
And he answering said to his father, Lo! for so many years have I served thee, and never transgressed thy command; and yet to me thou never gavest a kid, that I might make merry with my friends.
30 fa raha vao tonga kosa io zanakao io, izay efa nandany ny fanananao tamin’ ny vehivavy janga, dia namono ho azy ny zanak’ omby nafahy ianao.
But as soon as this thy son came, who devoured thy living with harlots, thou didst kill for him the fatted calf.
31 Ary hoy rainy taminy: Anaka, ianao eto amiko mandrakariva, ary anao avokoa izay rehetra ananako.
And he said to him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 Fa mety ny mifaly sy miravoravo; fa ity rahalahinao ity efa maty, fa velona indray, ary efa very, fa hita indray.
It was meet that we should make merry and be glad; for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.
