Lucas 15
1 Nagsisilapit nga sa kaniya ang lahat ng mga maniningil ng buwis at makasalanan upang makinig sa kaniya.
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
2 At ang mga Fariseo at gayon din ang mga eskriba ay nangagbubulongbulungan, na nangagsasabi, Tinatanggap ng taong ito ang mga makasalanan, at sumasalo sa kanila.
The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them."
3 At sinalita niya sa kanila ang talinghagang ito, na sinasabi,
He told them this parable.
4 Aling tao sa inyo, na kung mayroong isang daang tupa, at mawala ang isa sa mga yaon ay hindi iiwan ang siyam na pu't siyam sa ilang, at hahanapin ang nawala, hanggang sa ito'y kaniyang masumpungan?
"Which one of you, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
5 At pagka nasumpungan niya, ay pinapasan niya sa kaniyang balikat, na natutuwa.
When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 At paguwi niya sa tahanan, ay titipunin niya ang kaniyang mga kaibigan at ang kaniyang mga kapitbahay, na sasabihin sa kanila, Makipagkatuwa kayo sa akin, sapagka't nasumpungan ko ang aking tupang nawala.
When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.'
7 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, na gayon din magkakatuwa sa langit dahil sa isang makasalanang nagsisisi, kay sa siyam na pu't siyam na taong matutuwid na di nangagkakailangang magsipagsisi.
I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
8 O aling babae na may sangpung putol na pilak, na kung mawalan siya ng isang putol, ay hindi baga magpapaningas ng isang ilawan, at wawalisan ang bahay, at hahanaping masikap hanggang sa ito'y masumpungan niya?
Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, would not light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
9 At pagka nasumpungan niya, ay titipunin niya ang kaniyang mga kaibigan at mga kapitbahay, na sinasabi, Makipagkatuwa kayo sa akin, sapagka't nasumpungan ko ang isang putol na nawala sa akin.
When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.'
10 Gayon din, sinasabi ko sa inyo, na may tuwa sa harapan ng mga anghel ng Dios, dahil sa isang makasalanang nagsisisi.
Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."
11 At sinabi niya, May isang tao na may dalawang anak na lalake:
He said, "A certain man had two sons.
12 At sinabi sa kaniyang ama ng bunso, Ama, ibigay mo sa akin ang bahagi ng iyong kayamanang nauukol sa akin. At binahagi niya sa kanila ang kaniyang pagkabuhay.
The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of your property.' He divided his livelihood between them.
13 At hindi nakaraan ang maraming araw, ay tinipong lahat ng anak na bunso ang ganang kaniya, at naglakbay sa isang malayong lupain; at doo'y inaksaya ang kaniyang kabuhayan sa palunging pamumuhay.
Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
14 At nang magugol na niyang lahat, ay nagkaroon ng isang malaking kagutom sa lupaing yaon; at siya'y nagpasimulang mangailangan.
When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
15 At pumaroon siya at nakisama sa isa sa mga mamamayan sa lupaing yaon; at sinugo niya siya sa kaniyang mga parang, upang magpakain ng mga baboy.
He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
16 At ibig sana niyang mabusog ang kaniyang tiyan ng mga ipa na kinakain ng mga baboy: at walang taong magbigay sa kaniya.
And he wanted to fill himself with the carob pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
17 Datapuwa't nang siya'y makapagisip ay sinabi niya, Ilang mga alilang upahan ng aking ama ang may sapat at lumalabis na pagkain, at ako rito'y namamatay ng gutom?
But when he came to himself he said, 'How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough to spare, and I'm dying here with hunger.
18 Magtitindig ako at paroroon sa aking ama, at aking sasabihin sa kaniya, Ama, nagkasala ako laban sa langit, at sa iyong paningin:
I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight.
19 Hindi na ako karapatdapat na tawaging anak mo: gawin mo akong tulad sa isa sa iyong mga alilang upahan.
I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants."'
20 At siya'y nagtindig, at pumaroon sa kaniyang ama. Datapuwa't samantalang nasa malayo pa siya, ay natanawan na siya ng kaniyang ama, at nagdalang habag, at tumakbo, at niyakap siya sa leeg, at siya'y hinagkan.
"He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 At sinabi ng anak sa kaniya, Ama, nagkasala ako laban sa langit, at sa iyong paningin: hindi na ako karapatdapat na tawaging anak mo.
The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
22 Datapuwa't sinabi ng ama sa kaniyang mga alipin, Dalhin ninyo ritong madali ang pinakamabuting balabal, at isuot ninyo sa kaniya; at lagyan ninyo ng singsing ang kaniyang kamay, at mga panyapak ang kaniyang mga paa:
"But the father said to his servants, 'Quickly, bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.
23 At kunin ninyo ang pinatabang guya, at inyong patayin, at tayo'y magsikain, at mangagkatuwa:
Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate;
24 Sapagka't patay na ang anak kong ito, at muling nabuhay; siya'y nawala, at nasumpungan. At sila'y nangagpasimulang mangagkatuwa.
for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.' They began to celebrate.
25 Nasa bukid nga ang anak niyang panganay: at nang siya'y dumating at malapit sa bahay, ay narinig niya ang tugtugan at ang sayawan.
"Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 At pinalapit niya sa kaniya ang isa sa mga alipin, at itinanong kung ano kaya ang mga bagay na yaon.
He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on.
27 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Dumating ang kapatid mo; at pinatay ng iyong ama ang pinatabang guya, dahil sa siya'y tinanggap niya na ligtas at magaling.
He said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.'
28 Datapuwa't nagalit siya, at ayaw pumasok: at lumabas ang kaniyang ama, at siya'y namanhik sa kaniya.
But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore his father came out, and pleaded with him.
29 Datapuwa't siya'y sumagot at sinabi sa kaniyang ama, Narito, maraming taon nang kita'y pinaglilingkuran, at kailan ma'y hindi ako sumuway sa iyong utos; at gayon ma'y hindi mo ako binigyan kailan man ng isang maliit na kambing, upang ipakipagkatuwa ko sa aking mga kaibigan:
But he answered his father, 'Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
30 Datapuwa't nang dumating itong anak mong umubos ng iyong pagkabuhay sa mga patutot, ay ipinagpatay mo siya ng pinatabang guya.
But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'
31 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Anak, ikaw ay palaging nasa akin, at iyo ang lahat ng akin.
"He said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
32 Datapuwa't karapatdapat mangagkatuwa at mangagsaya tayo: sapagka't patay ang kapatid mong ito, at muling nabuhay; at nawala, at nasumpungan.
But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this brother of yours was dead and is alive; and he was lost, and is found.'"
