Lioka 15
1 Ary ny mpamory hetra rehetra sy ny mpanota nanatona hihaino an’ i Jesosy.
Then resorted vnto him all the Publicanes and sinners, to heare him.
2 Dia nimonomonona ny Fariseo sy ny mpanora-dalàna ka nanao hoe: Ilehity mandray ny mpanota ka miara-mihinana aminy.
Therefore the Pharises and Scribes murmured, saying, Hee receiueth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Fa Izy nanao izao fanoharana izao taminy hoe:
Then spake hee this parable to them, saying,
4 Iza moa no olona aminareo, izay manana ondry zato, ka very ny anankiray, no tsy mandao ny sivy amby sivi-folo any an-efitra ka mandeha hitady ilay very mandra-pahitany azy?
What man of you hauing an hundreth sheepe, if hee lose one of them, doeth not leaue ninetie and nine in the wildernesse, and goe after that which is lost, vntill he finde it?
5 ary rehefa hitany iny, dia ataony eo an-tsorony, ka dia faly izy;
And when he hath found it, he laieth it on his shoulders with ioye.
6 ary rehefa tonga ao an-trano izy, dia mamory ny sakaizany sy ny namany ka manao aminy hoe: Avia hiara-mifaly amiko; fa efa hitako ilay ondriko very.
And when he commeth home, he calleth together his friendes and neighbours, saying vnto them, Reioyce with mee: for I haue founde my sheepe which was lost.
7 Lazaiko aminareo fa hisy fifaliana toy izany any an-danitra ny amin’ ny mpanota iray izay mibebaka noho ny amin’ ny olona marina sivy amby sivi-folo, izay tsy misy tokony hibebahany.
I say vnto you, that likewise ioy shall be in heauen for one sinner that conuerteth, more then for ninetie and nine iust men, which neede none amendment of life.
8 Ary iza moa no vehivavy manana farantsakely folo, ka very ny anankiray, no tsy mampirehitra jiro ka mifafa trano sy mitady fatratra mandra-pahitany azy?
Either what woman hauing ten groates, if she lose one groate, doth not light a candle, and sweepe the house, and seeke diligently till shee finde it?
9 Ary raha hitany iny, dia mamory ny vehivavy sakaizany sy ny namany izy ka manao hoe: Avia hiara-mifaly amiko; fa efa hitako ny farantsakely izay very.
And when shee hath found it, shee calleth her friendes, and neighbours, saying, Reioyce with me: for I haue found the groate which I had lost.
10 Lazaiko aminareo fa misy fifaliana toy izany eo anatrehan’ ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra ny amin’ ny mpanota iray izay mibebaka.
Likewise I say vnto you, there is ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, for one sinner that conuerteth.
11 Ary hoy Jesosy: Nisy lehilahy anankiray nanana zanaka mirahalahy.
He sayde moreouer, A certaine man had two sonnes.
12 Ary hoy ilay zandriny tamin-drainy: Raiko, omeo ahy ny anjara-fananana tokony ho ahy. Dia nozarainy tamin’ izy mirahalahy ny fananany.
And the yonger of them sayde to his father, Father, giue mee the portion of the goods that falleth to mee. So he deuided vnto them his substance.
13 Ary nony afaka kelikely, dia nangonin’ ilay zandriny ny fananany rehetra, ka lasa nankany an-tany lavitra izy, dia nandany ny fananany tamin’ ny fiveloman-dratsy tany.
So not many daies after, when the yonger sonne had gathered all together, hee tooke his iourney into a farre countrey, and there hee wasted his goods with riotous liuing.
14 Ary rehefa laniny avokoa ny fananany rehetra, dia nisy mosary mafy tamin’ izany tany izany, ka nahantra izy.
Nowe when hee had spent all, there arose a great dearth throughout that land, and he began to be in necessitie.
15 Dia nandeha izy ka niankina tamin’ ny tompon-tany anankiray tamin’ izany tany izany, ary dia nirahiny tany an-tsahany hiandry kisoa.
Then hee went and claue to a citizen of that conntrey, and hee sent him to his farme, to feede swine.
16 Ary satriny hameno ny kibony tamin’ ny voan-kazo fihinan’ ny kisoa, fa tsy nisy nanome azy.
And hee would faine haue filled his bellie with the huskes, that the swine ate: but no man gaue them him.
17 Ary raha nody ny sainy, dia hoy izy: Indrisy maro ny olona karamain’ ny raiko manan-kanina be dia be, fa izaho kosa maty mosary eto!
Then he came to him selfe, and said, Howe many hired seruaunts at my fathers haue bread ynough, and I die for hunger?
18 Hiainga aho, dia hody any amin’ ny raiko ka hanao aminy hoe: Raiko ô, efa nanota tamin’ ny lanitra sy teo anatrehanao aho
I wil rise and goe to my father, and say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heaue, and before thee,
19 ka tsy miendrika hatao hoe zanakao intsony; fa ataovy tahaka ny anankiray amin’ ny olona karamainao aho.
And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants.
20 Dia niainga izy ka nankany amin-drainy. Fa raha mbola lavitra izy, dia tazan-drainy, ary onena azy izy ka nihazakazaka, dia namihina ny vozony sady nanoroka azy.
So hee arose and came to his father, and when hee was yet a great way off, his father sawe him, and had compassion, and ranne and fell on his necke, and kissed him.
21 Ary ilay zanany nanao taminy hoe: Raiko ô, efa nanota tamin’ ny lanitra sy teo anatrehanao aho ka tsy miendrika hatao hoe zanakao intsony.
And the sonne sayde vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen, and before thee, and am no more worthie to be called thy sonne.
22 Fa rainy kosa nanao tamin’ ny ankizilahiny hoe: Alao haingana ny akanjo tsara indrindra ka ampiakanjoy azy; ary asio peratra ny tànany sy kapa ny tongony;
Then the father said to his seruaunts, Bring foorth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feete,
23 ary ento ny zanak’ omby nafahy, ka vonoy; ary aoka isika hihinana sy hifaly;
And bring the fat calfe, and kill him, and let vs eate, and be merie:
24 fa ity zanako ity efa maty, fa velona indray, ary efa very, fa hita indray. Dia nifaly izy.
For this my sonne was dead, and is aliue againe: and he was lost, but he is found. And they began to be merie.
25 Fa tany an-tsaha ny zanany lahimatoa; ary nony nody izy ka mby teo akaiky ny trano, dia nandre zava-maneno sy dihy.
Nowe the elder brother was in the fielde, and when he came and drewe neere to the house, he heard melodie, and dauncing,
26 Ary niantso ankizilahy anankiray izy ka nanontany azy izay anton’ izany zavatra izany.
And called one of his seruaunts, and asked what those things meant.
27 Ary hoy ilay ankizilahy taminy: Tonga ny rahalahinao, ka namono ny zanak’ omby nafahy ny rainao, satria efa tafaverina soa aman-tsara ato aminy izy.
And hee sayde vnto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatte calfe, because he hath receiued him safe and sound.
28 Dia tezitra izy ka tsy nety niditra; ary nivoaka rainy ka nampandroso azy.
Then he was angry, and would not goe in: therefore came his father out and entreated him.
29 Fa izy namaly ka nanao tamin-drainy hoe: Indro, izay ela izay aho no efa nanompo anao ka tsy mbola nandika ny didinao na dia indray mandeha akory aza; nefa izaho tsy mbola nomenao na dia zanak’ osy aza mba hifaliako amin’ ny sakaizako;
But he answered and said to his father, Loe, these many yeeres haue I done thee seruice, neither brake I at any time thy commadement, and yet thou neuer gauest mee a kidde that I might make merie with my friends.
30 fa raha vao tonga kosa io zanakao io, izay efa nandany ny fanananao tamin’ ny vehivavy janga, dia namono ho azy ny zanak’ omby nafahy ianao.
But when this thy sonne was come, which hath deuoured thy good with harlots, thou hast for his sake killed the fat calfe.
31 Ary hoy rainy taminy: Anaka, ianao eto amiko mandrakariva, ary anao avokoa izay rehetra ananako.
And he said vnto him, Sonne, thou art euer with me, and al that I haue, is thine.
32 Fa mety ny mifaly sy miravoravo; fa ity rahalahinao ity efa maty, fa velona indray, ary efa very, fa hita indray.
It was meete that we shoulde make merie, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is aliue againe: and hee was lost, but he is found.
