Luka 15
1 Okupljahu se oko njega svi carinici i grešnici da ga slušaju.
Now all the tax-gatherers and sinners continued to draw near him, and to listen to him.
2 Stoga farizeji i pismoznanci mrmljahu: “Ovaj prima grešnike, i blaguje s njima.”
And the Pharisees and Scribes began to complain, saying, "He is welcoming sinners and eating with them!"
3 Nato im Isus kaza ovu prispodobu:
And he told them a parable.
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?
"Which one of you men, if he has a hundred sheep, and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it?
5 A kad je nađe, stavi je na ramena sav radostan
"And after he has found it, he lays it on his shoulder, rejoicing.
6 pa došavši kući, sazove prijatelje i susjede i rekne im: 'Radujte se sa mnom! Nađoh ovcu svoju izgubljenu.'
"When he gets home he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying, "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 even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons who need no 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, again, suppose a woman has ten coins. If she loses one, does she not light a lamp and sweep the house, and search anxiously 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 has found it, she calls together her woman friends and neighbors and say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.’
10 Tako, kažem vam, biva radost pred anđelima Božjim zbog jednog obraćena grešnika.”
"Even so I tell you there is joy in the presence of the angels for God over one sinner who repents."
11 I nastavi: “Čovjek neki imao dva sina.
And he said. "There was a man who had two sons.
12 Mlađi reče ocu: 'Oče, daj mi dio dobara koji mi pripada.' I razdijeli im imanje.
"The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of your property which is coming to me.’ So he divided his means among them.
13 Nakon nekoliko dana mlađi sin pokupi sve, otputova u daleku zemlju i ondje potrati svoja dobra živeći razvratno.”
"Not many days after that the younger son gathered everything together and took his journey into a distant country; and there he wasted his money on living unsavingly.
14 “Kad sve potroši, nasta ljuta glad u onoj zemlji te on poče oskudijevati.
"After he had spent everything there came a terrible famine in the land, and he began to be in want.
15 Ode i pribi se kod jednoga žitelja u onoj zemlji. On ga posla na svoja polja pasti svinje.
"So he went and hired to one of the citizens of that land, who sent him out into the fields to feed swine.
16 Želio se nasititi rogačima što su ih jele svinje, ali mu ih nitko nije davao.”
"And he was longing to be filled with the husks which the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
17 “Došavši k sebi, reče: 'Koliki najamnici oca moga imaju kruha napretek, a ja ovdje umirem od gladi!
"When he came to himself he said. "‘How many of my father’s hired men have bread enough and to spare, while I am perishing of hunger!
18 Ustat ću, poći svomu ocu i reći mu: 'Oče, sagriješih protiv Neba i pred tobom!
"‘I will rise and go to my father, and say to him. "Father, I have sinned against Heaven and in your sight,
19 Nisam više dostojan zvati se sinom tvojim. Primi me kao jednog od svojih najamnika.'”
"‘"I am no more worthy to be called your son; only make me like one of your hired men."‘
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 arose and went to his father; but while 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 A sin će mu: 'Oče! Sagriješih protiv Neba i pred tobom! Nisam više dostojan zvati se sinom tvojim.'
"The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight and am no more 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!
"‘Fetch the best robe, quick,’ said the father to his slaves, ‘and put it on him, and give him a ring on his finger, and shoes on his feet.
23 Tele ugojeno dovedite i zakoljite, pa da se pogostimo i proveselimo
"‘Bring that fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry,
24 jer sin mi ovaj bijaše mrtav i oživje, izgubljen bijaše i nađe se!' I stadoše se veseliti.”
"‘for this son of mine was dead and is alive again - he was lost and is found.’
25 “A stariji mu sin bijaše u polju. Kad se na povratku približio kući, začu svirku i igru
"So they began to make merry. But his elder son was in the field, and as he drew near to the house he heard music and dancing,
26 pa dozva jednoga slugu da se raspita što je to.
"and he summoned one of the slaves, and began to inquire of him what all this meant.
27 A ovaj će mu: 'Došao tvoj brat pa otac tvoj zakla tele ugojeno što sina zdrava dočeka.'
"‘Your brother is come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has him safe and sound.’
28 A on se rasrdi i ne htjede ući. Otac tada iziđe i stane ga nagovarati.
"But he was angry and would not go in; so his father came out, and attempted to plead with him; but he said to his father.
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.
"‘All these years I have been slaving for you and never disobeyed a command of yours. Yet you never gave me even a kid so that I might make merry 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 property with harlots, you have killed him the fatted calf.’
31 Nato će mu otac: 'Sinko, ti si uvijek sa mnom i sve moje - tvoje je.
"‘My dear son,’ answered his father, ‘you are always with me and all that is mine is yours.
32 No trebalo se veseliti i radovati jer ovaj brat tvoj bijaše mrtav i oživje, izgubljen i nađe se!'”
"‘But it was fitting that we should make merry and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and is alive; he was lost and is found.’"
