Luka 15
1 Okupljahu se oko njega svi carinici i grešnici da ga slušaju.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
2 Stoga farizeji i pismoznanci mrmljahu: “Ovaj prima grešnike, i blaguje s njima.”
The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
3 Nato im Isus kaza ovu prispodobu:
He told them this 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 of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
5 A kad je nađe, stavi je na ramena sav radostan
When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 pa došavši kući, sazove prijatelje i susjede i rekne im: 'Radujte se sa mnom! Nađoh ovcu svoju izgubljenu.'
When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which 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 tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people 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 what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
9 A kad je nađe, pozove prijateljice i susjede pa će im: 'Radujte se sa mnom! Nađoh drahmu što je bijah izgubila.'
When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma 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 of God over one sinner repenting.”
11 I nastavi: “Čovjek neki imao dva sina.
He said, “A certain man 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 my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
13 Nakon nekoliko dana mlađi sin pokupi sve, otputova u daleku zemlju i ondje potrati svoja dobra živeći razvratno.”
Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
14 “Kad sve potroši, nasta ljuta glad u onoj zemlji te on poče oskudijevati.
When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in 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.
He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he 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 wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
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 hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with 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 will tell 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. 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.
“He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, 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. 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 servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
23 Tele ugojeno dovedite i zakoljite, pa da se pogostimo i proveselimo
Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
24 jer sin mi ovaj bijaše mrtav i oživje, izgubljen bijaše i nađe se!' I stadoše se veseliti.”
for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
25 “A stariji mu sin bijaše u polju. Kad se na povratku približio kući, začu svirku i igru
“Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 pa dozva jednoga slugu da se raspita što je to.
He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
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 fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
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. Therefore his father came out and begged 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 he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a 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 your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
31 Nato će mu otac: 'Sinko, ti si uvijek sa mnom i sve moje - tvoje je.
“He said to him, ‘Son, 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 appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
