Luka 15
1 Okupljahu se oko njega svi carinici i grešnici da ga slušaju.
Then all the tax collectors and ‘sinners’ were getting close to Him to hear Him.
2 Stoga farizeji i pismoznanci mrmljahu: “Ovaj prima grešnike, i blaguje s njima.”
Well the Pharisees and the scribes started complaining, saying, “This man welcomes ‘sinners’ and eats with them.”
3 Nato im Isus kaza ovu prispodobu:
So He told them this parable, saying:
4 “Tko to od vas, ako ima sto ovaca pa izgubi jednu od njih, ne ostavi onih devedeset i devet u pustinji te pođe za izgubljenom dok je ne nađe?
“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 A kad je nađe, stavi je na ramena sav radostan
And upon finding it he joyfully puts it on his shoulders.
6 pa došavši kući, sazove prijatelje i susjede i rekne im: 'Radujte se sa mnom! Nađoh ovcu svoju izgubljenu.'
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 Kažem vam, tako će na nebu biti veća radost zbog jednog obraćena grešnika nego li zbog devedeset i devet pravednika kojima ne treba obraćenja.”
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 “Ili koja to žena, ima li deset drahma pa izgubi jednu drahmu, ne zapali svjetiljku, pomete kuću i brižljivo pretraži dok je ne nađe?
“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 A kad je nađe, pozove prijateljice i susjede pa će im: 'Radujte se sa mnom! Nađoh drahmu što je bijah izgubila.'
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 Tako, kažem vam, biva radost pred anđelima Božjim zbog jednog obraćena grešnika.”
Just so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
11 I nastavi: “Čovjek neki imao dva sina.
Then He said: “A certain man had two sons.
12 Mlađi reče ocu: 'Oče, daj mi dio dobara koji mi pripada.' I razdijeli im imanje.
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 Nakon nekoliko dana mlađi sin pokupi sve, otputova u daleku zemlju i ondje potrati svoja dobra živeći razvratno.”
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 “Kad sve potroši, nasta ljuta glad u onoj zemlji te on poče oskudijevati.
But when he had spent it all, there was a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need.
15 Ode i pribi se kod jednoga žitelja u onoj zemlji. On ga posla na svoja polja pasti svinje.
Then he went and attached himself to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16 Želio se nasititi rogačima što su ih jele svinje, ali mu ih nitko nije davao.”
He would gladly have filled his stomach with the carob pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 “Došavši k sebi, reče: 'Koliki najamnici oca moga imaju kruha napretek, a ja ovdje umirem od gladi!
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 Ustat ću, poći svomu ocu i reći mu: 'Oče, sagriješih protiv Neba i pred tobom!
I will get up and go to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,
19 Nisam više dostojan zvati se sinom tvojim. Primi me kao jednog od svojih najamnika.'”
and I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired servants.’
20 “Usta i pođe svom ocu. Dok je još bio daleko, njegov ga otac ugleda, ganu se, potrča, pade mu oko vrata i izljubi ga.
“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 A sin će mu: 'Oče! Sagriješih protiv Neba i pred tobom! Nisam više dostojan zvati se sinom tvojim.'
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 A otac reče slugama: 'Brzo iznesite haljinu najljepšu i obucite ga! Stavite mu prsten na ruku i obuću na noge!
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 Tele ugojeno dovedite i zakoljite, pa da se pogostimo i proveselimo
And bring in and kill the fatted calf, and let us eat and celebrate;
24 jer sin mi ovaj bijaše mrtav i oživje, izgubljen bijaše i nađe se!' I stadoše se veseliti.”
because this son of mine was dead and came to life; he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
25 “A stariji mu sin bijaše u polju. Kad se na povratku približio kući, začu svirku i igru
“Now his older son was in the field; and as he came approaching the house he heard music and dancing.
26 pa dozva jednoga slugu da se raspita što je to.
So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.
27 A ovaj će mu: 'Došao tvoj brat pa otac tvoj zakla tele ugojeno što sina zdrava dočeka.'
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 A on se rasrdi i ne htjede ući. Otac tada iziđe i stane ga nagovarati.
So he became angry and refused to go in. Then his father came out and began to plead with him.
29 A on će ocu: 'Evo toliko ti godina služim i nikada ne prestupih tvoju zapovijed, a nikad mi ni jareta nisi dao da se s prijateljima proveselim.
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 A kada dođe ovaj sin tvoj koji s bludnicama proždrije tvoje imanje, ti mu zakla ugojeno tele.'
But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!’
31 Nato će mu otac: 'Sinko, ti si uvijek sa mnom i sve moje - tvoje je.
So he said to him: ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.
32 No trebalo se veseliti i radovati jer ovaj brat tvoj bijaše mrtav i oživje, izgubljen i nađe se!'”
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.’”
