Luke 15
1 Then drew near to him all the publicans and sinners to hear him.
tadā karasañcāyinaḥ pāpinaśca lōkā upadēśkathāṁ śrōtuṁ yīśōḥ samīpam āgacchan|
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
tataḥ phirūśina upādhyāyāśca vivadamānāḥ kathayāmāsuḥ ēṣa mānuṣaḥ pāpibhiḥ saha praṇayaṁ kr̥tvā taiḥ sārddhaṁ bhuṁktē|
3 And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
tadā sa tēbhya imāṁ dr̥ṣṭāntakathāṁ kathitavān,
4 What man of you having a hundred sheep, if he loseth one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth it?
kasyacit śatamēṣēṣu tiṣṭhatmu tēṣāmēkaṁ sa yadi hārayati tarhi madhyēprāntaram ēkōnaśatamēṣān vihāya hāritamēṣasya uddēśaprāptiparyyanataṁ na gavēṣayati, ētādr̥śō lōkō yuṣmākaṁ madhyē ka āstē?
5 And when he hath found [it], he layeth [it] on his shoulders, rejoicing.
tasyōddēśaṁ prāpya hr̥ṣṭamanāstaṁ skandhē nidhāya svasthānam ānīya bandhubāndhavasamīpavāsina āhūya vakti,
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together [his] friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
hāritaṁ mēṣaṁ prāptōham atō hētō rmayā sārddham ānandata|
7 I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, who need no repentance.
tadvadahaṁ yuṣmān vadāmi, yēṣāṁ manaḥparāvarttanasya prayōjanaṁ nāsti, tādr̥śaikōnaśatadhārmmikakāraṇād ya ānandastasmād ēkasya manaḥparivarttinaḥ pāpinaḥ kāraṇāt svargē 'dhikānandō jāyatē|
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loseth one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she findeth [it]?
aparañca daśānāṁ rūpyakhaṇḍānām ēkakhaṇḍē hāritē pradīpaṁ prajvālya gr̥haṁ sammārjya tasya prāptiṁ yāvad yatnēna na gavēṣayati, ētādr̥śī yōṣit kāstē?
9 And when she hath found [it], she calleth [her] friends and [her] neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
prāptē sati bandhubāndhavasamīpavāsinīrāhūya kathayati, hāritaṁ rūpyakhaṇḍaṁ prāptāhaṁ tasmādēva mayā sārddham ānandata|
10 Likewise, I say to you, There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
tadvadahaṁ yuṣmān vyāharāmi, ēkēna pāpinā manasi parivarttitē, īśvarasya dūtānāṁ madhyēpyānandō jāyatē|
11 And 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 goods that falleth [to me]. And he divided to them [his] living.
tayōḥ kaniṣṭhaḥ putraḥ pitrē kathayāmāsa, hē pitastava sampattyā yamaṁśaṁ prāpsyāmyahaṁ vibhajya taṁ dēhi, tataḥ pitā nijāṁ sampattiṁ vibhajya tābhyāṁ dadau|
13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
katipayāt kālāt paraṁ sa kaniṣṭhaputraḥ samastaṁ dhanaṁ saṁgr̥hya dūradēśaṁ gatvā duṣṭācaraṇēna sarvvāṁ sampattiṁ nāśayāmāsa|
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
tasya sarvvadhanē vyayaṁ gatē taddēśē mahādurbhikṣaṁ babhūva, tatastasya dainyadaśā bhavitum ārēbhē|
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
tataḥ paraṁ sa gatvā taddēśīyaṁ gr̥hasthamēkam āśrayata; tataḥ sataṁ śūkaravrajaṁ cārayituṁ prāntaraṁ prēṣayāmāsa|
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat; and no man gave to him.
kēnāpi tasmai bhakṣyādānāt sa śūkaraphalavalkalēna piciṇḍapūraṇāṁ vavāñcha|
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger!
śēṣē sa manasi cētanāṁ prāpya kathayāmāsa, hā mama pituḥ samīpē kati kati vētanabhujō dāsā yathēṣṭaṁ tatōdhikañca bhakṣyaṁ prāpnuvanti kintvahaṁ kṣudhā mumūrṣuḥ|
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
ahamutthāya pituḥ samīpaṁ gatvā kathāmētāṁ vadiṣyāmi, hē pitar īśvarasya tava ca viruddhaṁ pāpamakaravam
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
tava putra̮iti vikhyātō bhavituṁ na yōgyōsmi ca, māṁ tava vaitanikaṁ dāsaṁ kr̥tvā sthāpaya|
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
paścāt sa utthāya pituḥ samīpaṁ jagāma; tatastasya pitātidūrē taṁ nirīkṣya dayāñcakrē, dhāvitvā tasya kaṇṭhaṁ gr̥hītvā taṁ cucumba ca|
21 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
tadā putra uvāca, hē pitar īśvarasya tava ca viruddhaṁ pāpamakaravaṁ, tava putra̮iti vikhyātō bhavituṁ na yōgyōsmi 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 shoes on [his] feet:
kintu tasya pitā nijadāsān ādidēśa, sarvvōttamavastrāṇyānīya paridhāpayatainaṁ hastē cāṅgurīyakam arpayata pādayōścōpānahau samarpayata;
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill [it]; and let us eat, and be merry:
puṣṭaṁ gōvatsam 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.
yatō mama putrōyam amriyata punarajīvīd hāritaśca labdhōbhūt tatasta ānanditum ārēbhirē|
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
tatkālē tasya jyēṣṭhaḥ putraḥ kṣētra āsīt| atha sa nivēśanasya nikaṭaṁ āgacchan nr̥tyānāṁ vādyānāñca śabdaṁ śrutvā
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
dāsānām ēkam āhūya papraccha, kiṁ kāraṇamasya?
27 And he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him in health.
tataḥ sōvādīt, tava bhrātāgamat, tava tātaśca taṁ suśarīraṁ prāpya puṣṭaṁ gōvatsaṁ māritavān|
28 And he was angry, and would not go in; therefore his father came out, and entreated him.
tataḥ sa prakupya nivēśanāntaḥ pravēṣṭuṁ na sammēnē; tatastasya pitā bahirāgatya taṁ sādhayāmāsa|
29 And he answering, said to [his] father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither have I at any time transgressed thy commandment; and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
tataḥ sa pitaraṁ pratyuvāca, paśya tava kāñcidapyājñāṁ na vilaṁghya bahūn vatsarān ahaṁ tvāṁ sēvē tathāpi mitraiḥ sārddham utsavaṁ karttuṁ kadāpi chāgamēkamapi mahyaṁ nādadāḥ;
30 But as soon as this thy son had come, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
kintu tava yaḥ putrō vēśyāgamanādibhistava sampattim apavyayitavān tasminnāgatamātrē tasyaiva nimittaṁ puṣṭaṁ gōvatsaṁ māritavān|
31 And he said to him, Son, thou art ever with me: and all that I have is thine.
tadā tasya pitāvōcat, hē putra tvaṁ sarvvadā mayā sahāsi tasmān mama yadyadāstē tatsarvvaṁ tava|
32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
kintu tavāyaṁ bhrātā mr̥taḥ punarajīvīd hāritaśca bhūtvā prāptōbhūt, ētasmāt kāraṇād utsavānandau karttum ucitamasmākam|
