Lūkas Evaņg̒elijs 15
1 Un visādi muitnieki un grēcinieki steidzās pie Viņa, gribēdami Viņu dzirdēt.
Now the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners were everywhere in the habit of coming close to Him to listen to Him;
2 Un tie farizeji un rakstu mācītāji kurnēja un sacīja: “Šis uzņem grēciniekus un ēd ar tiem.”
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 Bet Viņš tiem šo līdzību stāstīja un sacīja:
So in figurative language He asked them,
4 “Ja kādam cilvēkam jūsu starpā ir simts avis, un tam viena no tām pazūd, vai tas neatstāj tās deviņdesmit deviņas tuksnesī un nenoiet pēc tās pazudušās, tiekams to atrod?
"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 Un to atradis, viņš līksmodamies to ceļ uz saviem pleciem.
And when he has found it, he lifts it on his shoulder, glad at heart.
6 Un mājās pārnācis viņš sasauc savus draugus un kaimiņus, uz tiem sacīdams: priecājaties ar mani, es savu avi esmu atradis, kas bija pazudusi.
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 Es jums saku: tā arī debesīs būs vairāk līksmības par vienu pašu grēcinieku, kas atgriežas no grēkiem, nekā par deviņdesmit deviņiem taisniem, kam atgriešanās no grēkiem nevajag.
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 Jeb ja kādai sievai ir desmit graši un viens tai nozūd, vai tā neiededzina sveci un nemēž namu, rūpīgi meklēdama, kamēr to atrod?
"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 Un to atradusi, tā sasauc savas draudzenes un kaimiņienes sacīdama: priecājaties ar mani, jo es savu grasi atkal esmu atradusi, kas man bija nozudis.
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 Tā, Es jums saku, būs arī līksmība pie Dieva eņģeļiem par vienu pašu grēcinieku, kas atgriežas no grēkiem.”
"I tell you that in the same way there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one repentant sinner."
11 Un Viņš sacīja: “Vienam cilvēkam bija divi dēli.
He went on to say, "There was a man who had two sons.
12 Un tas jaunākais no tiem sacīja uz tēvu: tēvs, dod man manu tiesu no tās mantas, kas man nākas; un viņš tiem to mantu dalīja.
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 Un pēc necik ilga laika tas jaunākais, visu saņēmis kopā, aizgāja uz tālu zemi un tur savu mantu izšķērdēja, negodīgi dzīvodams.
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 Kad nu tas visu savu mantu bija iztērējis, tad liels bads nāca tanī zemē, un tam iesāka pietrūkt.
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 Tad viņš gāja un pieķērās turpat pie viena namnieka; tas to sūtīja uz savu tīrumu, cūkas ganīt.
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 Un viņš gribēja savu vēderu pildīt ar sēnalām, ko cūkas ēda, bet neviens ne tās tam nedeva.
and he longed to make a hearty meal of the pods the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
17 Tad viņš pie atzīšanas nācis sacīja: cik algādžu manam tēvam, kam maizes papilnam, un es mirstu badu!
"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 Es celšos un iešu pie sava tēva un sacīšu uz viņu: tēvs, es esmu grēkojis pret debesīm un pret tevi,
I will rise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven and before you:
19 Un vairs neesmu cienīgs, ka mani sauc par tavu dēlu; dari mani par vienu no taviem algādžiem.
I no longer deserve to be called a son of yours: treat me as one of your hired men.'
20 Un viņš cēlās un gāja pie sava tēva. Bet kad tas vēl bija tālu, tad viņa tēvs to redzēja, un viņš iežēlojās par to un skrēja un krita tam ap kaklu un to skūpstīja.
"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 Un dēls sacīja uz viņu: tēvs, es esmu grēkojis pret debesi un pret tevi un neesmu vairs cienīgs, ka mani sauc par tavu dēlu.
"'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 Bet tēvs sacīja uz saviem kalpiem: atnesiet tās viskrāšņākās drēbes un ģērbiet to un dodiet tam gredzenu rokā un kurpes kājās.
"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 Un atnesat treknu teļu un nokaujiet to, lai ēdam un līksmojamies.
Fetch the fat calf and kill it, and let us feast and enjoy ourselves;
24 Jo šis mans dēls bija nomiris un atkal tapis dzīvs; viņš bija pazudis un ir atrasts. Un tie sāka līksmoties.
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 Bet vecākais dēls bija uz lauka, un pārnākdams tuvu pie mājām viņš dzirdēja to dziedāšanu un diešanu.
"Now his elder son was out on the farm; and when he returned and came near home, he heard music and dancing.
26 Un vienu no tiem kalpiem pasaucis, viņš jautāja, kas tas esot?
Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant.
27 Un šis sacīja uz viņu: tavs brālis ir pārnācis, un tavs tēvs ir nokāvis treknu teļu, tāpēc ka viņš to veselu atdabūjis.
"'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 Tad viņš apskaitās un negribēja ieiet. Bet viņa tēvs gāja ārā un to lūdza iekšā.
"Then he was angry and would not go in. But his father came out and entreated him.
29 Bet viņš atbildēja un sacīja uz tēvu: redzi, tik daudz gadus es tev kalpoju un nekad vēl neesmu pārkāpis tavu bausli, un tomēr man tu vēl nekad ne kazlēnu neesi devis, ka es būtu līksmojies ar saviem draugiem.
"'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 Bet kad nu šis tavs dēls ir atnācis, kas tavu mantu aprijis ar maukām, tad tu viņam esi nokāvis barotu teļu.
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 Un viņš sacīja uz to: dēls, tu pie manis esi vienmēr un viss, kas mans, tas ir arī tavs.
"'You my dear son,' said the father, 'are always with me, and all that is mine is also yours.
32 Bet tev bija būt līksmam un priecīgam, jo šis tavs brālis bija nomiris un ir atkal tapis dzīvs, viņš bija pazudis un ir atrasts.”
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.'"
