Lucas 15
1 E chegavam-se a ele todos os publicanos e pecadores para o ouvir.
And publicans and sinners came to him, to hear him.
2 E os fariseus e os escribas murmuravam, dizendo: Este recebe pecadores, e come com eles.
And the Scribes and Pharisees murmured, and said: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 E ele lhes propôs esta parábola, dizendo:
And Jesus spoke to them this similitude:
4 Que homem dentre vós, tendo cem ovelhas, e perdendo uma delas, não deixa no deserto as noventa e nove, e não vai após a perdida até que venha a acha-la?
What man among you, that hath a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the desert, and go and seek for that which is lost, until he find it?
5 E, achando-a, a põe sobre seus ombros, gostoso;
And when he findeth it, he rejoiceth, and taketh it upon his shoulders;
6 E, chegando a casa, convoca os amigos e vizinhos, dizendo-lhes: alegrai-vos comigo, porque já achei a minha ovelha perdida.
and he cometh home, and he calleth together his friends and neighbors, and saith to them: Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep that was lost.
7 Digo-vos que assim haverá mais alegria no céu sobre um pecador que se arrependa do que sobre noventa e nove justos que não necessitam de arrependimento.
I say to you, that there will thus be joy in heaven, over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just ones, to whom repentance was not necessary.
8 Ou qual a mulher que, tendo dez dracmas, se perder uma dracma, não acende a candeia, e não varre a casa, e não busca com diligência até a achar?
Or what woman is there, who, if she have ten drachmas, and lose one of them, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search for it carefully, until she find it?
9 E, achando-a, convoca as amigas e vizinhas, dizendo: alegrai-vos comigo, porque já achei a dracma perdida.
And when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, and saith to them: Rejoice with me, for I have found my drachma that was lost.
10 Assim vos digo que há alegria diante dos anjos de Deus sobre um pecador que se arrepende.
I say to you, That there will thus be joy, before the angels of God, over one sinner that repenteth.
11 E disse: Um certo homem tinha dois filhos;
And Jesus said to them again: A certain man had two sons.
12 E o mais moço deles disse ao pai: pai, dá-me a parte da fazenda que me pertence. E ele lhes repartiu a fazenda.
And his younger son said to him: My father, give me the portion that falleth to me from thy house. And he divided to them his property.
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 after a few days, the younger son collected together all that fell to him, and went to a distant place and there squandered his property, by living in dissipation.
14 E, havendo ele já gastado tudo, houve naquela terra uma grande fome, e começou a padecer necessidade.
And when he had consumed all that he had, there occurred a great famine in that place; and he began to be in want.
15 E foi, e chegou-se a um dos cidadãos daquela 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 place: and he sent him into the field to tend swine.
16 E desejava saciar o seu estômago com as bolotas que os porcos comiam, e ninguém lhe dava nada.
And he longed to fill his belly with those pods which the swine ate: and no one gave to him.
17 E, tornando em si, disse: Quantos jornaleiros de meu pai tem abundância de pão, e eu pereço de fome!
And when he came to himself, he said: How many hired servants are now at my father's house, who have bread enough, and I am here perishing with hunger.
18 Levantar-me-ei, e irei ter com meu pai, e dir-lhe-ei: pai, pequei contra o céu e perante ti;
I will arise and go to my father, and say to him: My 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 am no longer worthy to be called thy son. Make me like one of thy hired servants.
20 E, levantando-se, foi para seu pai; e, quando ainda estava longe, viu-o seu pai, e se moveu de intima compaixão, e, correndo, lançou-se-lhe ao pescoço e o beijou.
And he arose and went towards his father. And he was yet at a distance, when his father saw him; and he pitied him, and ran, and fell upon his neck and kissed him.
21 E o filho lhe disse: pai, pequei contra o céu e perante ti, e já não sou digno de ser chamado teu filho.
And his son said to him: My father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am not worthy to be called thy son.
22 Mas o pai disse aos seus servos: Trazei depressa o vestido melhor, e vesti-lho, e ponde-lhe um anel na mão, e alparcas nos pés;
But his father said to his servants: Bring forth the best robe, and clothe him, and put a ring on his hand, and supply him with shoes.
23 E trazei o bezerro cevado, e matai-o; e comamos, e alegremo-nos;
And bring forth and slay the fatted bullock; and let us eat, and be merry.
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; he was lost and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 E o seu filho mais velho estava no campo; e quando veio, e chegou perto de casa, ouviu a música e as danças.
But his elder son was in the field; and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard the sound of the singing of many.
26 E, chamando um dos servos, perguntou-lhe que era aquilo.
And he called to one of the boys, and asked him what it meant.
27 E ele lhe disse: veio teu irmão; e teu pai matou o bezerro cevado, porquanto o recuperou são e salvo.
And he said to him: Thy brother hath come; and thy father hath killed the fatted bullock, because he hath received him in health.
28 Indignou-se, porém, ele, e não queria entrar. E, saindo o pai, o rogava.
And he was angry, and would not go in: and his father went out and entreated him.
29 Mas, respondendo ele, disse ao pai: Eis que te sirvo há tantos anos, e nunca transgredi o teu mandamento, e nunca me deste um cabrito para alegrar-me com os meus amigos;
And he said to his father: Lo, these many years have I labored in thy service, and never transgressed thy command; and thou never gavest me 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 for this thy son, when he had dissipated thy property with harlots, and came home, thou hast slain the fatted bullock for him.
31 E ele lhe disse: Filho, tu sempre estás comigo, e todas as minhas coisas são tuas;
His father said to him: My son, thou hast been ever with me, and all that I have, is 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 proper for us to be merry, and to rejoice; because this thy brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.
