Lukas 15
1 Men alle Toldere og Syndere holdt sig nær til ham for at høre ham.
And publicans and sinners came to him, to hear him.
2 Og både Farisæerne og de skriftkloge knurrede og sagde: "Denne tager imod Syndere og spiser med dem."
And the Scribes and Pharisees murmured, and said: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Men han talte denne Lignelse til dem og sagde:
And Jesus spoke to them this similitude:
4 "Hvilket Menneske af eder, som har hundrede Får og har mistet eet af dem, forlader ikke de ni og halvfemsindstyve i Ørkenen og går ud efter det, han har mistet, indtil han finder det?
What man among you, that hath a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the desert, and go and seek for that which is lost, until he find it?
5 Og når han har fundet det, lægger han det på sine Skuldre med Glæde.
And when he findeth it, he rejoiceth, and taketh it upon his shoulders;
6 Og når han kommer hjem, sammenkalder han sine Venner og Naboer og siger til dem: Glæder eder med mig; thi jeg har fundet mit Får, som jeg havde mistet.
and he cometh home, and he calleth together his friends and neighbors, and saith to them: Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep that was lost.
7 Jeg siger eder: Således skal der være Glæde i Himmelen over een Synder, som omvender sig, mere end over ni og halvfemsindstyve retfærdige, som ikke trænge til Omvendelse.
I say to you, that there will thus be joy in heaven, over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just ones, to whom repentance was not necessary.
8 Eller hvilken Kvinde, som har ti Drakmer og taber een Drakme, tænder ikke Lys og fejer Huset og søger med Flid, indtil hun finder den?
Or what woman is there, who, if she have ten drachmas, and lose one of them, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search for it carefully, until she find it?
9 Og når hun har fundet den, sammenkalder hun sine Veninder og Naboersker og siger: Glæder eder med mig; thi jeg har fundet den Drakme, som jeg havde tabt.
And when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, and saith to them: Rejoice with me, for I have found my drachma that was lost.
10 Således, siger jeg eder, bliver der Glæde hos Guds Engle over een Synder, som omvender sig."
I say to you, That there will thus be joy, before the angels of God, over one sinner that repenteth.
11 Men han sagde: "En Mand havde to Sønner.
And Jesus said to them again: A certain man had two sons.
12 Og den yngste af dem sagde til Faderen: Fader! giv mig den Del af Formuen, som tilfalder mig. Og han skiftede Godset imellem dem.
And his younger son said to him: My father, give me the portion that falleth to me from thy house. And he divided to them his property.
13 Og ikke mange Dage derefter samlede den yngste Søn alt sit og drog udenlands til et fjernt Land og ødte der sin Formue i et ryggesløst Levned.
And after a few days, the younger son collected together all that fell to him, and went to a distant place and there squandered his property, by living in dissipation.
14 Men da han havde sat alt til, blev der en svær Hungersnød i det samme Land; og han begyndte at lide Mangel.
And when he had consumed all that he had, there occurred a great famine in that place; and he began to be in want.
15 Og han gik hen og holdt sig til en af Borgerne der i Landet, og denne sendte ham ud på sine Marker for at vogte Svin.
And he went and connected himself with one of the citizens of that place: and he sent him into the field to tend swine.
16 Og han attråede at fylde sin Bug med de Bønner, som Svinene åde; og ingen gav ham noget.
And he longed to fill his belly with those pods which the swine ate: and no one gave to him.
17 Men han gik i sig selv og sagde: Hvor mange Daglejere hos min Fader have ikke Brød i Overflødighed? men jeg omkommer her af Hunger.
And when he came to himself, he said: How many hired servants are now at my father's house, who have bread enough, and I am here perishing with hunger.
18 Jeg vil stå op og gå til min Fader og sige til ham: Fader! jeg har syndet imod Himmelen og over for dig,
I will arise and go to my father, and say to him: My father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee;
19 jeg er ikke længer værd at kaldes din Søn, gør mig som en af dine Daglejere!
and am no longer worthy to be called thy son. Make me like one of thy hired servants.
20 Og han stod op og kom til sin Fader. Men da han endnu var langt borte, så hans Fader ham og ynkedes inderligt, og han løb til og faldt ham om Halsen og kyssede ham.
And he arose and went towards his father. And he was yet at a distance, when his father saw him; and he pitied him, and ran, and fell upon his neck and kissed him.
21 Men Sønnen sagde til ham: Fader! jeg har syndet imod Himmelen og over for dig, jeg er ikke længer værd at kaldes din Søn.
And his son said to him: My father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am not worthy to be called thy son.
22 Men Faderen sagde til sine Tjenere: Henter det bedste Klædebon frem, og ifører ham det, og giver ham en Ring på hans Hånd og Sko på Fødderne;
But his father said to his servants: Bring forth the best robe, and clothe him, and put a ring on his hand, and supply him with shoes.
23 og henter Fedekalven og slagter den, og lader os spise og være lystige!
And bring forth and slay the fatted bullock; and let us eat, and be merry.
24 Thi denne min Søn var død og er bleven levende igen, han var fortabt og er funden. Og de begyndte at være lystige!
For, this my son was dead, and is alive; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 Men hans ældste Søn var på Marken, og da han kom og nærmede sig Huset, hørte han Musik og Dans.
But his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard the sound of the singing of many.
26 Og han kaldte en af Karlene til sig og spurgte, hvad dette var?
And he called to one of the boys, and asked him what it meant.
27 Men han sagde til ham: Din Broder er kommen, og din Fader har slagtet Fedekalven, fordi han har fået ham sund igen.
And he said to him: Thy brother hath come; and thy father hath killed the fatted bullock, because he hath received him in health.
28 Men han blev vred og vilde ikke gå ind. Men hans Fader gik ud og bad ham.
And he was angry, and would not go in: and his father went out and entreated him.
29 Men han svarede og sagde til Faderen: Se, så mange År har jeg tjent dig, og aldrig har jeg overtrådt noget af dine Bud, og du har aldrig givet mig et Kid, for at jeg kunde være lystig med mine Venner.
And he said to his father: Lo, these many years have I labored in thy service, and never transgressed thy command; and thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends.
30 Men da denne din Søn kom, som har fortæret dit Gods med Skøger, slagtede du Fedekalven til ham.
But for this thy son, when he had dissipated thy property with harlots, and came home, thou hast slain the fatted bullock for him.
31 Men han sagde til ham: Barn! du er altid hos mig, og alt mit er dit.
His father said to him: My son, thou hast been ever with me, and all that I have, is thine.
32 Men man burde være lystig og glæde sig, fordi denne din Broder var død og er bleven levende og var fortabt og er funden."
But it was proper for us to be merry, and to rejoice; because this thy brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.
