Luke 15
1 And all the publicans and the sinners came near to him to hear him.
tadā karasañcāyinaḥ pāpinaśca lokā upadeśkathāṁ śrotuṁ yīśoḥ samīpam āgacchan|
2 And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receives sinners, and eats with them.
tataḥ phirūśina upādhyāyāśca vivadamānāḥ kathayāmāsuḥ eṣa mānuṣaḥ pāpibhiḥ saha praṇayaṁ kṛtvā taiḥ sārddhaṁ bhuṁkte|
3 And he spoke this parable to them, saying:
tadā sa tebhya imāṁ dṛṣṭāntakathāṁ kathitavān,
4 What man of you that has a hundred sheep, and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which is lost, till he find it?
kasyacit śatameṣeṣu tiṣṭhatmu teṣāmekaṁ sa yadi hārayati tarhi madhyeprāntaram ekonaśatameṣān vihāya hāritameṣasya uddeśaprāptiparyyanataṁ na gaveṣayati, etādṛśo loko yuṣmākaṁ madhye ka āste?
5 And when he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
tasyoddeśaṁ prāpya hṛṣṭamanāstaṁ skandhe nidhāya svasthānam ānīya bandhubāndhavasamīpavāsina āhūya vakti,
6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, and says to them., Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.
hāritaṁ meṣaṁ prāptoham ato heto rmayā sārddham ānandata|
7 I say to you, That thus there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety-nine just persons, who need no repentance.
tadvadahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, yeṣāṁ manaḥparāvarttanasya prayojanaṁ nāsti, tādṛśaikonaśatadhārmmikakāraṇād ya ānandastasmād ekasya manaḥparivarttinaḥ pāpinaḥ kāraṇāt svarge 'dhikānando jāyate|
8 Or, what woman that has ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search carefully till she find it?
aparañca daśānāṁ rūpyakhaṇḍānām ekakhaṇḍe hārite pradīpaṁ prajvālya gṛhaṁ sammārjya tasya prāptiṁ yāvad yatnena na gaveṣayati, etādṛśī yoṣit kāste?
9 And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma that I lost.
prāpte sati bandhubāndhavasamīpavāsinīrāhūya kathayati, hāritaṁ rūpyakhaṇḍaṁ prāptāhaṁ tasmādeva mayā sārddham ānandata|
10 So, I say to you, There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.
tadvadahaṁ yuṣmān vyāharāmi, ekena pāpinā manasi parivarttite, īśvarasya dūtānāṁ madhyepyānando jāyate|
11 Then he said: A certain man had two sons.
aparañca sa kathayāmāsa, kasyacid dvau putrāvāstāṁ,
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of the property that falls to me. And he divided his estate between them.
tayoḥ kaniṣṭhaḥ putraḥ pitre kathayāmāsa, he pitastava sampattyā yamaṁśaṁ prāpsyāmyahaṁ vibhajya taṁ dehi, tataḥ pitā nijāṁ sampattiṁ vibhajya tābhyāṁ dadau|
13 And not many days after, the younger son, taking with him all that was his, left home for a distant country, and there wasted his property in riotous living.
katipayāt kālāt paraṁ sa kaniṣṭhaputraḥ samastaṁ dhanaṁ saṁgṛhya dūradeśaṁ gatvā duṣṭācaraṇena sarvvāṁ sampattiṁ nāśayāmāsa|
14 When he had spent all, there was a great famine throughout that country, and he began to be in want.
tasya sarvvadhane vyayaṁ gate taddeśe mahādurbhikṣaṁ babhūva, tatastasya dainyadaśā bhavitum ārebhe|
15 And he went and attached himself to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed swine.
tataḥ paraṁ sa gatvā taddeśīyaṁ gṛhasthamekam āśrayata; tataḥ sataṁ śūkaravrajaṁ cārayituṁ prāntaraṁ preṣayāmāsa|
16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods which the swine did eat. And no one gave to him.
kenāpi tasmai bhakṣyādānāt sa śūkaraphalavalkalena piciṇḍapūraṇāṁ vavāñcha|
17 But when he came to himself, he said, How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger!
śeṣe sa manasi cetanāṁ prāpya kathayāmāsa, hā mama pituḥ samīpe kati kati vetanabhujo dāsā yatheṣṭaṁ tatodhikañca bhakṣyaṁ prāpnuvanti kintvahaṁ kṣudhā mumūrṣuḥ|
18 I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight,
ahamutthāya pituḥ samīpaṁ gatvā kathāmetāṁ vadiṣyāmi, he pitar īśvarasya tava ca viruddhaṁ pāpamakaravam
19 and am no longer worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants.
tava putra̮iti vikhyāto bhavituṁ na yogyosmi ca, māṁ tava vaitanikaṁ dāsaṁ kṛtvā sthāpaya|
20 And he arose, and came to his father. And while he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion on him, and ran and fell upon his neck, and kissed him.
paścāt sa utthāya pituḥ samīpaṁ jagāma; tatastasya pitātidūre taṁ nirīkṣya dayāñcakre, dhāvitvā tasya kaṇṭhaṁ gṛhītvā taṁ cucumba ca|
21 But his son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.
tadā putra uvāca, he pitar īśvarasya tava ca viruddhaṁ pāpamakaravaṁ, tava putra̮iti vikhyāto bhavituṁ na yogyosmi ca|
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet.
kintu tasya pitā nijadāsān ādideśa, sarvvottamavastrāṇyānīya paridhāpayatainaṁ haste cāṅgurīyakam arpayata pādayoścopānahau samarpayata;
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and be merry;
puṣṭaṁ govatsam ānīya mārayata ca taṁ bhuktvā vayam ānandāma|
24 for this my son was dead, and is alive again: he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
yato mama putroyam amriyata punarajīvīd hāritaśca labdhobhūt tatasta ānanditum ārebhire|
25 But his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
tatkāle tasya jyeṣṭhaḥ putraḥ kṣetra āsīt| atha sa niveśanasya nikaṭaṁ āgacchan nṛtyānāṁ vādyānāñca śabdaṁ śrutvā
26 And he called to him one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
dāsānām ekam āhūya papraccha, kiṁ kāraṇamasya?
27 And he said to him, Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him in health.
tataḥ sovādīt, tava bhrātāgamat, tava tātaśca taṁ suśarīraṁ prāpya puṣṭaṁ govatsaṁ māritavān|
28 And he was angry, and would not go in. Then his father went out and entreated him.
tataḥ sa prakupya niveśanāntaḥ praveṣṭuṁ na sammene; tatastasya pitā bahirāgatya taṁ sādhayāmāsa|
29 But he answered and said to his father, Behold, for so many years do I serve you, and never have I transgressed your commandment, and yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends.
tataḥ sa pitaraṁ pratyuvāca, paśya tava kāñcidapyājñāṁ na vilaṁghya bahūn vatsarān ahaṁ tvāṁ seve tathāpi mitraiḥ sārddham utsavaṁ karttuṁ kadāpi chāgamekamapi mahyaṁ nādadāḥ;
30 But as soon as this your son has come, Who has eaten up your estate with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf.
kintu tava yaḥ putro veśyāgamanādibhistava sampattim apavyayitavān tasminnāgatamātre tasyaiva nimittaṁ puṣṭaṁ govatsaṁ māritavān|
31 And he said to him, Son, you are ever with me, and all that I have is yours.
tadā tasya pitāvocat, he putra tvaṁ sarvvadā mayā sahāsi tasmān mama yadyadāste tatsarvvaṁ tava|
32 But it became us to make merry and rejoice; for this your brother was dead, and is alive again: was lost, and is found.
kintu tavāyaṁ bhrātā mṛtaḥ punarajīvīd hāritaśca bhūtvā prāptobhūt, etasmāt kāraṇād utsavānandau karttum ucitamasmākam|
