< Lucas 15 >

1 Ngayon, ang lahat ng mga maniningil ng buwis at iba pang mga makasalanan ay lumalapit kay Jesus upang makinig sa kaniya.
Many [HYP] tax collectors and [others whom people considered to be] habitual sinners kept coming to Jesus to listen to him teach.
2 Nagbulung-bulungan ang mga Pariseo at mga eskriba sa isa't isa, sinasabi, “Malugod na tinatanggap ng taong ito ang mga makasalanan, at kumakain pa kasama nila.”
The Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws [who were there] [SYN] began to grumble, saying, “This man welcomes sinners and he also [defiles himself by eating] with them!”
3 Sinabi ni Jesus ang talinghagang ito sa kanila, sinasabi,
So Jesus told them this parable:
4 “Sino sa inyo, kung mayroon siyang isang daang tupa at pagkatapos nawala ang isa sa kanila, ang hindi iiwanan ang siyamnapu't siyam sa ilang, at hahanapin ang nawawala hanggang sa matagpuan niya ito?
“Suppose that one of you had 100 sheep. If one of them were lost, (you [(sg)] would certainly leave the 99 sheep in the pasture, and go and search for the one lost sheep until you found it./would you not leave the 99 sheep in the pasture, and go and search for the one lost sheep until you found it?) [RHQ]
5 Pagkatapos, kapag natagpuan niya ito, pinapasan niya ito sa kaniyang mga balikat at nagagalak.
When you [(sg)] found it, you would put it on your shoulders and be happy.
6 Pagdating niya sa bahay, tinitipon niya ang kaniyang mga kaibigan at mga kapitbahay, sinasabi sa kanila, 'Makisaya kayo sa akin, sapagkat natagpuan ko ang aking nawawalang tupa.'
When you brought it home, you would call together your friends and neighbors and say to them, ‘Be happy with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost!’
7 Sinasabi ko sa inyo na gayon din, magkakaroon ng kagalakan sa langit sa isang makasalanang nagsisisi, higit pa sa siyamnapu't siyam na taong matuwid na hindi kailangang magsisi.
I tell you [(pl)] that similarly [God] will be very happy about each and every sinner who turns from doing evil. God is not happy about 99 people who [think that they] are [IRO] righteous and think that they do not need to turn from doing evil.
8 O sinong babaing may sampung pilak na barya, kung mawalan siya ng isang barya, ang hindi magsisindi ng ilawan, magwawalis sa bahay, at masikap na maghahanap hanggang sa matagpuan niya ito?
Or, suppose that a woman has ten [very valuable] silver coins. If she loses one of them, (she will certainly light a lamp and sweep the floor and search carefully until she finds it!/will she not light a lamp and sweep the floor and search carefully until she finds it?) [RHQ]
9 At kapag natagpuan niya ito, tinitipon niya ang kaniyang mga kaibigan at mga kapitbahay, sinasabi, 'Makisaya kayo sa akin, sapagkat natagpuan ko ang baryang nawala ko.'
When she finds it, she will call together her friends and neighbors and say, ‘Be happy with me, [because] I have found the coin that I lost!’
10 Gayon din, sinasabi ko sa inyo, may kagalakan sa kinaroroonan ng mga anghel ng Diyos sa isang makasalanang nagsisisi.
I tell you that similarly the angels will be happy about [even just] one sinner who turns from doing evil.”
11 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Jesus, “May isang lalaking may dalawang lalaking anak,
Then [Jesus told them this parable to compare what the Pharisees and teachers of the Jewish law thought about those who turn from their sinful behavior with what God thinks about such people]. He said, “A certain man had two sons.
12 at sinabi ng nakababata sa kanila sa kaniyang ama, 'Ama, ibigay mo na sa akin ngayon ang ari-arian na nararapat na manahin ko.' Kaya hinati niya ang kaniyang kayamanan sa pagitan nila.
One day the younger son said to his father, ‘Father, [I do not want to wait until you(sg) die]. Give me now the share of your property that belongs to me!’ So the man divided his property between his two sons.
13 Pagkaraan ng ilang mga araw, tinipon ng nakababatang anak ang lahat ng kaniyang pag-aari at pumunta sa isang malayong bansa, at doon ay winaldas niya ang kaniyang pera sa pagbili ng mga bagay na hindi niya kailangan, at pag-aaksaya ng kaniyang pera sa masamang pamumuhay.
A few days later, the younger son [sold his share]. He gathered his money and other things together and went to a country far away. There he spent all his money foolishly in reckless/wild living.
14 Ngayon, nang naubos na niya ang lahat, matinding taggutom ang lumaganap sa buong bansang iyon, at siya ay nagsimulang mangailangan.
After he had spent all his money, there was a great famine throughout that country. And soon he did not have enough [food to] eat.
15 Siya ay pumunta at namasukan sa isa sa mga mamamayan ng bansang iyon, na nagpapunta sa kaniya sa kaniyang bukirin upang magpakain ng mga baboy.
So he went to one of the landowners in that area and asked for work. The man sent him to work taking care of the pigs in his field.
16 At nais na sana niyang kainin ang mga balat ng buto na kinakain ng mga baboy dahil walang nagbigay sa kaniya ng anumang makakain.
[Because he was very hungry], he would have been glad to eat the bean pods that the pigs ate. But no one gave him anything to eat.
17 Ngunit nang nakapag-isip-isip ang nakababatang anak, sinabi niya, 'Napakaraming mga upahang utusan ng aking ama ang may higit pa sa sapat na pagkain, at ako ay nandito, namamatay sa gutom!
Finally he thought clearly about what he had done. He said to himself, ‘All of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food! They have more [SYN] than they can eat, but here I am dying because I do not have anything to eat [HYP]!
18 Aalis ako rito at pupunta sa aking ama, at sasabihin ko sa kaniya, “Ama, ako ay nagkasala laban sa langit at sa iyong paningin.
So I will leave here and go back to my father. I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against God [MTY, EUP] and against you [(sg)].
19 Hindi na ako karapat-dapat na tawaging anak mo; gawin mo akong isa sa iyong mga upahang utusan.'”
I am no longer worthy to be called {of [you] calling me} your son. Just hire me to be like one of the other hired servants.”’
20 Kaya umalis ang nakababatang anak at pumunta sa kaniyang ama. Habang siya ay malayo pa, nakita siya ng kaniyang ama, at siya ay nahabag, at tumakbo, at niyakap at hinagkan siya.
So he left there and went back to his father’s house. But while he was still some distance from the house, his father saw him. He pitied him. He ran to his son and embraced him and kissed him [on the cheek].
21 Sinabi ng anak sa kaniya, “Ama, ako ay nagkasala laban sa langit at sa iyong paningin. Hindi ako karapat-dapat na tawaging anak mo.”
His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against God [MTY/EUP] and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called {of [you] calling me} your son.’
22 Sinabi ng ama sa kaniyang mga utusan, 'Kunin ninyo kaagad ang pinakamagandang balabal, at isuot sa kaniya, at lagyan ng sing-sing ang kaniyang kamay, at sandalyas ang kaniyang mga paa.
But his father said to his servants, ‘Go quickly and bring to me the best robe [in the house]! Then put it on my son. Put a ring on his finger [to show that I am honoring him again as my son]! Put sandals on his feet [to show that I do not consider him to be a slave]!
23 Pagkatapos, dalhin ninyo dito ang pinatabang guya at katayin. Tayo ay magsikain at magdiwang.
Then bring the fat calf and kill it [and cook it]. We [(inc)] must eat and celebrate,
24 Sapagkat ang anak ko ay namatay, at ngayon siya ay nabuhay. Siya ay nawala, at ngayon siya ay natagpuan.' At sila ay nagsimulang magdiwang.
because my son has returned! [It is as though] [MET] he was dead and is alive again! [It is as though] he was lost and now has been found!’ So they did that, and they all began to celebrate.
25 Sa panahong iyon, ang kaniyang nakatatandang anak ay nasa bukid. Nang siya ay dumating at palapit na sa bahay, narinig niya ang tugtugan at sayawan.
While all that was happening, the man’s older son was out [working] in the field. When he came near to the house, he heard [people playing] music and dancing.
26 Tinawag niya ang isa sa mga utusan at tinanong kung ano ang mga bagay na ito.
He called one of the servants and asked what was happening.
27 Sinabi ng utusan sa kaniya, 'Dumating ang iyong kapatid at nagpakatay ang iyong ama ng pinatabang guya, dahil nakabalik siya nang ligtas.'
The servant said to him, ‘Your [younger] brother has come [home] Your father has [told us to] kill the fat calf [to celebrate] because your brother has returned safe and healthy.’
28 Nagalit ang nakatatandang anak, at ayaw niyang pumasok, at lumabas ang kaniyang ama, at pinakiusapan siya.
[But] the older brother was angry. He refused to enter [the house]. So his father came out and pleaded with him [to come in].
29 Ngunit sumagot ang nakatatandang anak at sinabi sa kaniyang ama, 'Tingnan mo, nagpa-alipin ako sa iyo sa loob ng maraming taon, at kailanman ay hindi ako sumuway sa iyong utos, ngunit kailanman ay hindi mo ako binigyan ng isang batang kambing upang magdiwang ako kasama ng aking mga kaibigan,
But he replied to his father, ‘Listen to me! For many years I have worked for you like a slave. I always obeyed everything you told me to do. But you never even gave me a young goat, so that I could [kill it and cook it and] celebrate with my friends.
30 ngunit nang dumating ang iyong anak, na umubos ng iyong kabuhayan sa mga babaing nagbebenta ng aliw, nagpakatay ka ng pinatabang guya para sa kaniya.'
But this son of yours spent all the [money he got from] what you gave him. He spent it [to pay for sleeping with] prostitutes! Yes, now he has returned home, [but it is not fair that] you have told your [servants] to kill the fat calf [and cook it] for him!’
31 Sinabi ng ama sa kaniya, 'Anak, lagi kitang kasama, at lahat ng sa akin ay sa iyo.
But his father said to him, ‘My son, you have always been with me, and all my property [that I did not give to your brother] has been yours.
32 Ngunit dapat lang na tayo ay magdiwang at maging masaya, sapagkat ang kapatid mong ito ay namatay, at ngayon ay nabuhay; siya ay nawala, at ngayon ay natagpuan.'”
But [it is as though] [MET] your brother was dead and is alive again! [It is as though] he was lost and now he has been found! So it is appropriate for us to be happy and celebrate!’”
