Lucas 15
1 E chegavam-se a elle todos os publicanos e peccadores para o ouvir.
THEN drew nigh unto him all the tax-farmers and the sinners to hear him.
2 E os phariseos e os escribas murmuravam, dizendo: Este recebe peccadores, e come com elles.
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man entertains sinners, and eateth with them.
3 E elle lhes propoz esta parabola, dizendo:
Then spake he unto them this parable, saying,
4 Que homem d'entre vós, tendo cem ovelhas, e perdendo uma d'ellas, não deixa no deserto as noventa e nove, e não vae após a perdida até que venha a achal-a?
What man is there of you, possessing an hundred sheep, though he lose but one of them, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5 E, achando-a, a põe sobre seus hombros, gostoso;
and when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 E, chegando a casa, convoca os amigos e visinhos, dizendo-lhes: Alegrae-vos comigo, porque já achei a minha ovelha perdida.
And coming home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Congratulate me; for I have found that sheep of mine which was lost.
7 Digo-vos que assim haverá mais alegria no céu sobre um peccador que se arrependa do que sobre noventa e nove justos que não necessitam de arrependimento.
I tell you, that just so will there be joy in heaven over one repentant sinner, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who hold not their need of repentance.
8 Ou qual a mulher que, tendo dez drachmas, se perder uma drachma, não accende a candeia, e não varre a casa, e não busca com diligencia até a achar?
Or what woman having ten pieces of silver coin, if she lose one of them, doth she not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and make diligent search until she find it?
9 E, achando-a, convoca as amigas e visinhas, dizendo: Alegrae-vos comigo, porque já achei a drachma perdida.
And having found it, she calleth her female friends and neighbours together, saying, Congratulate me; for I have found the silver piece I had lost.
10 Assim vos digo que ha alegria diante dos anjos de Deus sobre um peccador que se arrepende.
Even so, I tell you, there is joy among the angels of God, over one repentant sinner.
11 E disse: Um certo homem tinha dois filhos;
Then he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 E o mais moço d'elles disse ao pae: Pae, dá-me a parte da fazenda que me pertence. E elle lhes repartiu a fazenda.
and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of substance which falls to my share. And he divided with them his fortune.
13 E, poucos dias depois, o filho mais novo, ajuntando tudo, partiu para uma terra mui longe, e ali desperdiçou a sua fazenda, vivendo dissolutamente.
And not many days after, the younger son, collecting his all, travelled into a far distant country, and there dissipated his substance in a life of debauchery.
14 E, havendo elle já gastado tudo, houve n'aquella terra uma grande fome, e começou a padecer necessidade.
But when he had spent all, there came a terrible famine in that region; and he began to know want.
15 E foi, e chegou-se a um dos cidadãos d'aquella terra, o qual o mandou para os seus campos a apascentar os porcos.
And he went and connected himself with one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 E desejava saciar o seu estomago com as bolotas que os porcos comiam, e ninguem lhe dava nada.
And he eagerly longed to fill his belly with the charob berries which the swine did eat: and no person gave him a morsel.
17 E, tornando em si, disse: Quantos jornaleiros de meu pae teem abundancia de pão, e eu pereço de fome!
Then coming to himself, he said, How many hirelings of my father abound with loaves of bread, and I am pining away with famine!
18 Levantar-me-hei, e irei ter com meu pae, e dir-lhe-hei: Pae, pequei contra o céu e perante ti;
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 Já não sou digno de ser chamado teu filho; faze-me como um dos teus jornaleiros.
and I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hirelings.
20 E, levantando-se, foi para seu pae; e, quando ainda estava longe, viu-o seu pae, e se moveu de intima compaixão, e, correndo, lançou-se-lhe ao pescoço e o beijou.
And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet at a considerable distance, his father discovered him, and was moved with compassion, and running, fell on his neck, and kissed him again and again.
21 E o filho lhe disse: Pae, pequei contra o céu e perante ti, e já não sou digno de ser chamado teu filho.
Then said the son unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 Mas o pae disse aos seus servos: Trazei depressa o vestido melhor, e vesti-lh'o, e ponde-lhe um annel na mão, e alparcas nos pés;
But the father said to his servants, Bring out the best robe, and clothe him; and put a ring on his hand, and sandals on his feet:
23 E trazei o bezerro cevado, e matae-o; e comamos, e alegremo-nos;
and bring hither the stall-fed steer, and kill it; and let us eat, and be joyous.
24 Porque este meu filho era morto, e reviveu, tinha-se perdido, e é achado. E começaram a alegrar-se.
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. And they began to be joyous.
25 E o seu filho mais velho estava no campo; e quando veiu, e chegou perto de casa, ouviu a musica e as danças.
Now his elder brother had been in the field: and when coming home he drew near the house, he heard a concert of music, and the chorus.
26 E, chamando um dos servos, perguntou-lhe que era aquillo.
And calling one of the servants, he inquired what these things meant.
27 E elle lhe disse: Veiu teu irmão; e teu pae matou o bezerro cevado, porquanto o recuperou são e salvo.
And he said, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed for him the stall-fed steer, because he hath received him in health.
28 Indignou-se, porém, elle, e não queria entrar. E, saindo o pae, o rogava.
Then he was in great wrath, and would not enter the doors: therefore his father came out, and entreated him.
29 Mas, respondendo elle, disse ao pae: Eis que te sirvo ha tantos annos, e nunca transgredi o teu mandamento, e nunca me déste um cabrito para alegrar-me com os meus amigos;
But he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years I am serving thee, and never have transgressed thy command: yet to me thou hast never once given a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
30 Vindo, porém, este teu filho, que desperdiçou a tua fazenda com as meretrizes, mataste-lhe o bezerro cevado.
but no sooner is this son of thine come, who hath devoured thy substance with whores, than thou hast killed for him the stall-fed steer.
31 E elle lhe disse: Filho, tu sempre estás comigo, e todas as minhas coisas são tuas;
And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all my possessions are thine.
32 Portanto era justo alegrarmo-nos e folgarmos, porque este teu irmão era morto, e reviveu; e tinha-se perdido, e achou-se.
But it was right that we should rejoice, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
