Lucas 15
1 Nagsisilapit nga sa kaniya ang lahat ng mga maniningil ng buwis at makasalanan upang makinig sa kaniya.
Then all the tax collectors and ‘sinners’ were getting close to Him to hear Him.
2 At ang mga Fariseo at gayon din ang mga eskriba ay nangagbubulongbulungan, na nangagsasabi, Tinatanggap ng taong ito ang mga makasalanan, at sumasalo sa kanila.
Well the Pharisees and the scribes started complaining, saying, “This man welcomes ‘sinners’ and eats with them.”
3 At sinalita niya sa kanila ang talinghagang ito, na sinasabi,
So He told them this parable, saying:
4 Aling tao sa inyo, na kung mayroong isang daang tupa, at mawala ang isa sa mga yaon ay hindi iiwan ang siyam na pu't siyam sa ilang, at hahanapin ang nawala, hanggang sa ito'y kaniyang masumpungan?
“What man among you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not abandon the ninety-nine in the wild and go after the lost one until he finds it?
5 At pagka nasumpungan niya, ay pinapasan niya sa kaniyang balikat, na natutuwa.
And upon finding it he joyfully puts it on his shoulders.
6 At paguwi niya sa tahanan, ay titipunin niya ang kaniyang mga kaibigan at ang kaniyang mga kapitbahay, na sasabihin sa kanila, Makipagkatuwa kayo sa akin, sapagka't nasumpungan ko ang aking tupang nawala.
And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost!’
7 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, na gayon din magkakatuwa sa langit dahil sa isang makasalanang nagsisisi, kay sa siyam na pu't siyam na taong matutuwid na di nangagkakailangang magsipagsisi.
I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who have no need of repentance.
8 O aling babae na may sangpung putol na pilak, na kung mawalan siya ng isang putol, ay hindi baga magpapaningas ng isang ilawan, at wawalisan ang bahay, at hahanaping masikap hanggang sa ito'y masumpungan niya?
“Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
9 At pagka nasumpungan niya, ay titipunin niya ang kaniyang mga kaibigan at mga kapitbahay, na sinasabi, Makipagkatuwa kayo sa akin, sapagka't nasumpungan ko ang isang putol na nawala sa akin.
And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I lost!’
10 Gayon din, sinasabi ko sa inyo, na may tuwa sa harapan ng mga anghel ng Dios, dahil sa isang makasalanang nagsisisi.
Just so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
11 At sinabi niya, May isang tao na may dalawang anak na lalake:
Then He said: “A certain man had two sons.
12 At sinabi sa kaniyang ama ng bunso, Ama, ibigay mo sa akin ang bahagi ng iyong kayamanang nauukol sa akin. At binahagi niya sa kanila ang kaniyang pagkabuhay.
And the younger one said to the father, ‘Father, give me the appropriate share of the estate.’ So he divided the property between them.
13 At hindi nakaraan ang maraming araw, ay tinipong lahat ng anak na bunso ang ganang kaniya, at naglakbay sa isang malayong lupain; at doo'y inaksaya ang kaniyang kabuhayan sa palunging pamumuhay.
Not many days later the younger son, having converted it all, journeyed to a distant country; and there he squandered his wealth living dissolutely.
14 At nang magugol na niyang lahat, ay nagkaroon ng isang malaking kagutom sa lupaing yaon; at siya'y nagpasimulang mangailangan.
But when he had spent it all, there was a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need.
15 At pumaroon siya at nakisama sa isa sa mga mamamayan sa lupaing yaon; at sinugo niya siya sa kaniyang mga parang, upang magpakain ng mga baboy.
Then he went and attached himself to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16 At ibig sana niyang mabusog ang kaniyang tiyan ng mga ipa na kinakain ng mga baboy: at walang taong magbigay sa kaniya.
He would gladly have filled his stomach with the carob pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 Datapuwa't nang siya'y makapagisip ay sinabi niya, Ilang mga alilang upahan ng aking ama ang may sapat at lumalabis na pagkain, at ako rito'y namamatay ng gutom?
But when he came to himself he said: ‘How many of my father's hired servants have an abundance of bread, while I am dying of hunger!
18 Magtitindig ako at paroroon sa aking ama, at aking sasabihin sa kaniya, Ama, nagkasala ako laban sa langit, at sa iyong paningin:
I will get up and go to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,
19 Hindi na ako karapatdapat na tawaging anak mo: gawin mo akong tulad sa isa sa iyong mga alilang upahan.
and I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired servants.’
20 At siya'y nagtindig, at pumaroon sa kaniyang ama. Datapuwa't samantalang nasa malayo pa siya, ay natanawan na siya ng kaniyang ama, at nagdalang habag, at tumakbo, at niyakap siya sa leeg, at siya'y hinagkan.
“So he got up and went to his own father. But while he was still a good ways off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion—he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him!
21 At sinabi ng anak sa kaniya, Ama, nagkasala ako laban sa langit, at sa iyong paningin: hindi na ako karapatdapat na tawaging anak mo.
Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 Datapuwa't sinabi ng ama sa kaniyang mga alipin, Dalhin ninyo ritong madali ang pinakamabuting balabal, at isuot ninyo sa kaniya; at lagyan ninyo ng singsing ang kaniyang kamay, at mga panyapak ang kaniyang mga paa:
But the father said to his slaves: ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
23 At kunin ninyo ang pinatabang guya, at inyong patayin, at tayo'y magsikain, at mangagkatuwa:
And bring in and kill the fatted calf, and let us eat and celebrate;
24 Sapagka't patay na ang anak kong ito, at muling nabuhay; siya'y nawala, at nasumpungan. At sila'y nangagpasimulang mangagkatuwa.
because this son of mine was dead and came to life; he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
25 Nasa bukid nga ang anak niyang panganay: at nang siya'y dumating at malapit sa bahay, ay narinig niya ang tugtugan at ang sayawan.
“Now his older son was in the field; and as he came approaching the house he heard music and dancing.
26 At pinalapit niya sa kaniya ang isa sa mga alipin, at itinanong kung ano kaya ang mga bagay na yaon.
So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.
27 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Dumating ang kapatid mo; at pinatay ng iyong ama ang pinatabang guya, dahil sa siya'y tinanggap niya na ligtas at magaling.
He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’
28 Datapuwa't nagalit siya, at ayaw pumasok: at lumabas ang kaniyang ama, at siya'y namanhik sa kaniya.
So he became angry and refused to go in. Then his father came out and began to plead with him.
29 Datapuwa't siya'y sumagot at sinabi sa kaniyang ama, Narito, maraming taon nang kita'y pinaglilingkuran, at kailan ma'y hindi ako sumuway sa iyong utos; at gayon ma'y hindi mo ako binigyan kailan man ng isang maliit na kambing, upang ipakipagkatuwa ko sa aking mga kaibigan:
But in answer he said to the father: ‘Just look at how many years I have been serving you without ever transgressing your commandment; yet you never gave me even a young goat that I might celebrate with my friends.
30 Datapuwa't nang dumating itong anak mong umubos ng iyong pagkabuhay sa mga patutot, ay ipinagpatay mo siya ng pinatabang guya.
But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!’
31 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Anak, ikaw ay palaging nasa akin, at iyo ang lahat ng akin.
So he said to him: ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.
32 Datapuwa't karapatdapat mangagkatuwa at mangagsaya tayo: sapagka't patay ang kapatid mong ito, at muling nabuhay; at nawala, at nasumpungan.
But it was right that we celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and came to life; he was lost and is found.’”
