लूकः 15
1 तदा करसञ्चायिनः पापिनश्च लोका उपदेश्कथां श्रोतुं यीशोः समीपम् आगच्छन्।
THEN drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2 ततः फिरूशिन उपाध्यायाश्च विवदमानाः कथयामासुः एष मानुषः पापिभिः सह प्रणयं कृत्वा तैः सार्द्धं भुंक्ते।
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 तदा स तेभ्य इमां दृष्टान्तकथां कथितवान्,
And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
4 कस्यचित् शतमेषेषु तिष्ठत्मु तेषामेकं स यदि हारयति तर्हि मध्येप्रान्तरम् एकोनशतमेषान् विहाय हारितमेषस्य उद्देशप्राप्तिपर्य्यनतं न गवेषयति, एतादृशो लोको युष्माकं मध्ये क आस्ते?
What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 तस्योद्देशं प्राप्य हृष्टमनास्तं स्कन्धे निधाय स्वस्थानम् आनीय बन्धुबान्धवसमीपवासिन आहूय वक्ति,
And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 हारितं मेषं प्राप्तोहम् अतो हेतो र्मया सार्द्धम् आनन्दत।
And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7 तद्वदहं युष्मान् वदामि, येषां मनःपरावर्त्तनस्य प्रयोजनं नास्ति, तादृशैकोनशतधार्म्मिककारणाद् य आनन्दस्तस्माद् एकस्य मनःपरिवर्त्तिनः पापिनः कारणात् स्वर्गे ऽधिकानन्दो जायते।
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
8 अपरञ्च दशानां रूप्यखण्डानाम् एकखण्डे हारिते प्रदीपं प्रज्वाल्य गृहं सम्मार्ज्य तस्य प्राप्तिं यावद् यत्नेन न गवेषयति, एतादृशी योषित् कास्ते?
Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
9 प्राप्ते सति बन्धुबान्धवसमीपवासिनीराहूय कथयति, हारितं रूप्यखण्डं प्राप्ताहं तस्मादेव मया सार्द्धम् आनन्दत।
And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
10 तद्वदहं युष्मान् व्याहरामि, एकेन पापिना मनसि परिवर्त्तिते, ईश्वरस्य दूतानां मध्येप्यानन्दो जायते।
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11 अपरञ्च स कथयामास, कस्यचिद् द्वौ पुत्रावास्तां,
And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 तयोः कनिष्ठः पुत्रः पित्रे कथयामास, हे पितस्तव सम्पत्त्या यमंशं प्राप्स्याम्यहं विभज्य तं देहि, ततः पिता निजां सम्पत्तिं विभज्य ताभ्यां ददौ।
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13 कतिपयात् कालात् परं स कनिष्ठपुत्रः समस्तं धनं संगृह्य दूरदेशं गत्वा दुष्टाचरणेन सर्व्वां सम्पत्तिं नाशयामास।
And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14 तस्य सर्व्वधने व्ययं गते तद्देशे महादुर्भिक्षं बभूव, ततस्तस्य दैन्यदशा भवितुम् आरेभे।
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 ततः परं स गत्वा तद्देशीयं गृहस्थमेकम् आश्रयत; ततः सतं शूकरव्रजं चारयितुं प्रान्तरं प्रेषयामास।
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 केनापि तस्मै भक्ष्यादानात् स शूकरफलवल्कलेन पिचिण्डपूरणां ववाञ्छ।
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17 शेषे स मनसि चेतनां प्राप्य कथयामास, हा मम पितुः समीपे कति कति वेतनभुजो दासा यथेष्टं ततोधिकञ्च भक्ष्यं प्राप्नुवन्ति किन्त्वहं क्षुधा मुमूर्षुः।
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 with hunger!
18 अहमुत्थाय पितुः समीपं गत्वा कथामेतां वदिष्यामि, हे पितर् ईश्वरस्य तव च विरुद्धं पापमकरवम्
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 तव पुत्रइति विख्यातो भवितुं न योग्योस्मि च, मां तव वैतनिकं दासं कृत्वा स्थापय।
And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 पश्चात् स उत्थाय पितुः समीपं जगाम; ततस्तस्य पितातिदूरे तं निरीक्ष्य दयाञ्चक्रे, धावित्वा तस्य कण्ठं गृहीत्वा तं चुचुम्ब च।
And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 तदा पुत्र उवाच, हे पितर् ईश्वरस्य तव च विरुद्धं पापमकरवं, तव पुत्रइति विख्यातो भवितुं न योग्योस्मि च।
And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 किन्तु तस्य पिता निजदासान् आदिदेश, सर्व्वोत्तमवस्त्राण्यानीय परिधापयतैनं हस्ते चाङ्गुरीयकम् अर्पयत पादयोश्चोपानहौ समर्पयत;
But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23 पुष्टं गोवत्सम् आनीय मारयत च तं भुक्त्वा वयम् आनन्दाम।
And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 यतो मम पुत्रोयम् अम्रियत पुनरजीवीद् हारितश्च लब्धोभूत् ततस्त आनन्दितुम् आरेभिरे।
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 तत्काले तस्य ज्येष्ठः पुत्रः क्षेत्र आसीत्। अथ स निवेशनस्य निकटं आगच्छन् नृत्यानां वाद्यानाञ्च शब्दं श्रुत्वा
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
26 दासानाम् एकम् आहूय पप्रच्छ, किं कारणमस्य?
And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 ततः सोवादीत्, तव भ्रातागमत्, तव तातश्च तं सुशरीरं प्राप्य पुष्टं गोवत्सं मारितवान्।
And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28 ततः स प्रकुप्य निवेशनान्तः प्रवेष्टुं न सम्मेने; ततस्तस्य पिता बहिरागत्य तं साधयामास।
And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
29 ततः स पितरं प्रत्युवाच, पश्य तव काञ्चिदप्याज्ञां न विलंघ्य बहून् वत्सरान् अहं त्वां सेवे तथापि मित्रैः सार्द्धम् उत्सवं कर्त्तुं कदापि छागमेकमपि मह्यं नाददाः;
And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30 किन्तु तव यः पुत्रो वेश्यागमनादिभिस्तव सम्पत्तिम् अपव्ययितवान् तस्मिन्नागतमात्रे तस्यैव निमित्तं पुष्टं गोवत्सं मारितवान्।
But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
31 तदा तस्य पितावोचत्, हे पुत्र त्वं सर्व्वदा मया सहासि तस्मान् मम यद्यदास्ते तत्सर्व्वं तव।
And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 किन्तु तवायं भ्राता मृतः पुनरजीवीद् हारितश्च भूत्वा प्राप्तोभूत्, एतस्मात् कारणाद् उत्सवानन्दौ कर्त्तुम् उचितमस्माकम्।
It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
