Lucas 15
1 Itatta, amin dagiti agsingsingir ti buis ken dadduma pay nga managbasol ket um-umayda ken ni Hesus tapno agdengngeg kenkuana.
Now the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners were everywhere in the habit of coming close to Him to listen to Him;
2 Dagiti Fariseo ken Eskriba ket agtatanabutobda iti tunggal maysa, a kunada, “Awaten met daytoy a tao dagiti managbasol, ken makipangan pay kadakuada.”
and this led the Pharisees and the Scribes indignantly to complain, saying, "He gives a welcome to notorious sinners, and joins them at their meals!"
3 Sinarita ni Hesus daytoy a pangngarig kadakuada a kinunana,
So in figurative language He asked them,
4 “Siasino kadakayo, no bilang adda sangagasut a karnerona ket napukaw ti maysa kadagitoy, ti saan a mangpanaw kadagiti siam a pulo ket siam idiay let-ang, ken mapanna sapulen ti napukaw a maysa agingga a masarakanna daytoy?
"Which of you men, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in their pasture and go in search of the lost one till he finds it?
5 Ket inton nasarakanna daytoyen, baklayenna daytoy ken agragsak.
And when he has found it, he lifts it on his shoulder, glad at heart.
6 Inton addan iti balay, ayabanna dagiti gagayyem ken kaarubana, a kunana kadakuada, “Umaykayo makipagraksak kaniak, ta nasapulak ti napukaw a karnerok.'
Then coming home he calls his friends and neighbours together, and says, 'Congratulate me, for I have found my sheep--the one I had lost.'
7 Ibagak kadakayo nga ad-adda pay ti panagrag-o idiay langit iti maysa nga agbabawi, ngem iti sanga pulo ket siam nga nalinteg a tattao nga saan a masapul nga agbabawi.
I tell you that in the same way there will be rejoicing in Heaven over one repentant sinner--more rejoicing than over ninety-nine blameless persons who have no need of repentance.
8 Wenno siasinno ti babai nga addaan sangapulo a pirak, no bilang ta mapukawna iti maysa nga pirak, ti saan nga mangsindian iti pagsilawan, walisanna iti balay, ken sapulenna a naimbag agingga a masarakanna daytoy?
"Or what woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully till she finds it?
9 Ket inton nasarakanna daytoyen, ayabanna dagiti gagayyem ken kaarubana, a kunana, 'Umay kayo makipagragsak kaniak, ta nasapulak ti pirak a napukawko.'
And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, and says, "'Congratulate me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.'
10 Kasta met, ibagak kadakayo, adda panagragsak iti presensya dagiti angel ti Dios gapu iti maysa a managbasol nga agbabawi.”
"I tell you that in the same way there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one repentant sinner."
11 Ket kinuna ni Jesus, “Adda maysa a lalaki nga addaan dua nga annak a lallaki,
He went on to say, "There was a man who had two sons.
12 ket kinuna ti inaudi nga anak, 'Ama, itedmo itan ti sanikua a naituding a tawidek.' Ket biningayna ngarud ti kinabaknangna kadakuada.
The younger of them said to his father, "'Father, give me the share of the property that comes to me.' "So he divided his wealth between them.
13 Kalpasan ti saan unay nga adu nga aldaw, nagrubwat ti inaudi nga anak ket nagdalyasat a napan iti adayo a pagilian, ket idiay binusbosna amin a tawidna iti nalabes unay a panagbiag.
No long time afterwards the younger son got all together and travelled to a distant country, where he wasted his money in debauchery and excess.
14 Idi awanen ti kuartana, adda dakkel nga panagbisin a napasamak iti dayta a pagilian, ket mangrugin nga agksapulan isuna.
At last, when he had spent everything, there came a terrible famine throughout that country, and he began to feel the pinch of want.
15 Napan isuna ket nagpatangdan iti maysa kadagiti tattao iti dayta a pagilian, nga nangibaon kenkuana idiay taltalon tapno agpakan kadagiti baboy.
So he went and hired himself to one of the inhabitants of that country, who sent him on to his farm to tend swine;
16 Ket ragragsakenna kuma payen nga kanen dagiti taraon ti baboy, gapu ta awan ti mangted ti uray ania nga kanenna.
and he longed to make a hearty meal of the pods the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
17 Ngem idi nakapagpanpanunot ti inaudi nga anak, kinunana, 'Nagadu kadagiti tatangdanan nga adipen ni amak iti aglaplapusanan ti taraonna, idinto a addaak ditoy nga matmatay iti bisin!
"But on coming to himself he said, "'How many of my father's hired men have more bread than they want, while I here am dying of hunger!
18 Pumanawak ditoy ket mapanak ken ni amak, ket ibagak kenkuana, “Ama, nagbasolak iti langit ken iti imatangmo.
I will rise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you:
19 Saanakon a maikari nga maawagan nga anakmo; aramidennak laengen kas maysa kadagiti tangtangdanan nga adipenmo.”'
I no longer deserve to be called a son of yours: treat me as one of your hired men.'
20 Pimmanaw ngarud ti inaudi nga anak, ket nagsubli ken amana. Idi adayo paylaeng isuna, nakita ti amana ket naasian. Iti kasta, nagtaray a simmabat ket inarakup ken inagkanna ti anakna.
"So he rose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and pitied him, and ran and threw his arms round his neck and kissed him tenderly.
21 Ket ti anak a lalaki kinunana, 'Ama, nakabasolak iti langit ken iti imatangmo. Saanakun a maikari nga maawagan nga anakmo.'
"'Father,' cried the son, 'I have sinned against Heaven and before you: no longer do I deserve to be called a son of yours.'
22 Kinuna ti ama kadagiti babaunenna, 'Iyegyo a dagus ti kapipintasan a pagan-anay ket ikawesyo kenkuana, singsinganyo ti imana ken sapatosanyo dagiti sakana.
"But the father said to his servants, "'Fetch a good coat quickly--the best one--and put it on him; and bring a ring for his finger and shoes for his feet.
23 Alaenyo pay ti napalukmeg a baka ket partienyo. Mangan ken agrambak tayo.
Fetch the fat calf and kill it, and let us feast and enjoy ourselves;
24 Ta natay ngem nagbiag daytoy anakko, napukaw ngem nasarakan met laeng.' Ket rinugianda ngarud ti nagrambak.
for my son here was dead and has come to life again: he was lost and has been found.' "And they began to be merry.
25 Iti dayta a kanito, adda ti inauna nga anak iti talon. Idi makaasideg iti balay, nakangngeg iti tukar ken salsala.
"Now his elder son was out on the farm; and when he returned and came near home, he heard music and dancing.
26 Inayabanna ti maysa kadagiti babaunen ket sinaludsodna kenkuana no ania ti kaipapanan dagitoy a banbanag.
Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant.
27 Kinuna ti babaunen kenkuana, 'Simmangpeten ti kabsatmo ket nagpaparti ti amam iti napalukmeg a baka, gapu ta simmangpet a sitatalged.'
"'Your brother has come,' he replied; 'and your father has had the fat calf killed, because he has got him home safe and sound.'
28 Nakapungtot ti inauna nga anak, ken saan a sumrek, ket rimmuar ti amana, ken nagpakpakaasi kenkuana.
"Then he was angry and would not go in. But his father came out and entreated him.
29 Ngem ti inauna nga anak, simmungbat ket kinunana iti ama na, “Kitaem, nagpatagaboak kadakayo iti adu a tawtawen, ket saanko a pulos nga linabsing ti paglinteganyo, ngem saandak manlang nga inikkan iti urbon a kalding tapno agrambak kami kuma met kadagiti gagayemko,
"'All these years,' replied the son, 'I have been slaving for you, and I have never at any time disobeyed any of your orders, and yet you have never given me so much as a kid, for me to enjoy myself with my friends;
30 ngem idi simmangpet ti anakyo, a nangbusbos ti kinabaknangyo kadagiti balangkantis, pinartiyo para kenkuana ti napalukmeg a baka.'
but now that this son of yours is come who has eaten up your property among his bad women, you have killed the fat calf for him.'
31 Kinuna ti ama kenkuana, “Anakko, addaka nga kanayon iti dennak, ken amin a kukuak ket kukuammet.
"'You my dear son,' said the father, 'are always with me, and all that is mine is also yours.
32 Ngem rumbeng laeng para kadatayo nga agrambak ken agragsak, agsipud ta iti kabsatmo ket natay, ket ita sibibiag; napukaw isuna ngem ita nasarakan.'”
We are bound to make merry and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life, he was lost and has been found.'"
