Luke 15 (HAW1868)

1A LAILA hele aku la io na la ka poe lunaauhau a pau, a me ka poe hewa e hoolohe ia ia.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2A ohumu iho la ka poe Parisaio a me ka poe kakauolelo, i ae la, Ua hoolauna oia nei me ka poe hewa, a ua ai pu no hoi me lakou.So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Olelo mai la oia i keia olelonane ia lakou, i mai la,Then Jesus told them this parable:

4Owai ke kanaka iwaena o oukou he poe hipa kana hookahi haneri, a nalowale kekahi o lakou, aole anei ia i waiho aku i na hipa he kanaiwakumamaiwa ma ka waonahele, a imi aku i ka mea i nalowale a loaa ia ia ia?“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?

5A loaa, alaila e kau ia ia ma kona poohiwi me ka olioli?And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

6A hiki mai ia i ka hale, houlunlu oia i na hoaaloha a me na hoalauna, me ka olelo ia lakou, E hauoli pu mai me au; no ka mea, ua loaa ia'u kuu wahi hipa i nalowale.comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7Ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, ua oi aku ka olioli ma ka lani no ke kanaka hewa hookahi e mihi ana, mamua o na kanaka maikai he kanaiwakumamaiwa aole pono ia lakou ke mihi.I tell you that in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent.

8A owai la hoi ka wahine he mau hapawalu kana he umi, a i nalowale kekahi, aole ia e kuni i ke kukui a kahili i ka hale, a imi ikaika a loaa ia ia ia?Or what woman who has ten silver coins and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her house, and search carefully until she finds it?

9A loaa, e houluulu no ia i na hoaaloha a me na hoalauna, a olelo aku, E hauoli pu mai me au; no ka mea, ua loaa ia'u ka hapawalu i nalowale.And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Pela hoi, ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, He olioli no imua o ke alo o ko ke Akua poe anela i ke kanaka hewa hookahi e mihi ana.In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11I mai la hoi ia, O kekahi kanaka elua ana keiki.Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Olelo aku la ke kaikaina i kona makuakane, E ka makua, e haawi mai oe ia'u i ko'u puu o ka waiwai. A mahele iho la oia i ka waiwai no lana,The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13Aole nui na la mahope iho houluulu mai ke keiki pokii i kana a pau, hele aku la ia i ka aina loihi aku: a malaila ia i hoomaunauna aku ai i kana waiwai e noho uhauha ana.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14A hoopau aku la oia i kana a pau, nui aku la ka wi o kela aina, a nele iho la ia.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Hele ae la hoi ia a hoopili aku me kekahi kamaaina o ua aina la: a hoouna ae la oia ia ia i kona mau aina e hanai puaa.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16A e ake no ia e hoopiha i kona opu me na hua keratio a na puaa i ai ai, aole hoi mea nana i haawi ia ia.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17A loaa oia ia ia iho, i iho la ia. He nui ka poe paaua a ko'u makuakane, he ai ka lakou e maona ai a koe aku, a e make ana hoi au i ka pololi!Finally he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food, but here I am, starving to death!

18E ku au a e hele aku i kuu makuakane, a e olelo aku au ia ia, E kuu makua, ua hana hewa aku wau i ka lani a ia oe;I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19Aole au e pono ke kapa hou ia mai he keiki nau; e hoohalike mai oe ia'u me kekahi o kau poe paaua.I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20A en ae la ia a hele mai i kona makuakane: a ia ia i kahi loihi aku, ike aku la kona makuakane ia ia, hu ae la kona aloha, holo aku la ia, apo aku la i kona a-i, a honi aku la ia ia.So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still in the distance, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.

21I mai la ke keiki ia ia, E ka makua, ua hana hewa aku wau i ka lani, a ia oe, aole e pono ke kapa hou ia mai he keiki nau.The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22Aka, i aku la ka makua i kana mau kauwa, E lawe mai i ka aahu maikai loa, a e hoaahu ae ia ia; a e hookomo i ke komolima ma kona lima, a me na kamaa ma kona mau wawae;But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

23A e lawe mai hoi i ke keiki bipi i kupaluia, e kalua; a e ai kakou me ka olioli;Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

24No ka mea, ua make keia keiki a'u, a na ola hou mai nei; nalowale aku la hoi ia, a ua loaa mai net A ahaaina iho la lakou me ka olioli.For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

25A o kana keiki hiapo, aia no ia ma ka waena; a i kona hele ana mai a kokoke i ka hale, lohe iho la ia i ka hula a me ka haa ana.Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26Kahea mai la ia i kekahi o ka poe kauwa, ninau mai la i ke ano o ia mau mea.So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27Hai aku la hoi oia ia ia, Ua hiki mai kou kaikaina; a ua kalua iho nei kou makuakane i ke keiki bipi i kupaluia, no ka mea, ua loaa mai nei oia ia ia e ola ana.‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28Huhu iho la ia, aole i makemako e komo iloko. Nolai la i hele aku ai kona makuakane iwaho, a nonoi aku ia ia.The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29Olelo mai la ia i kona makuakane, Eia hoi, he nui no neia mau makahiki a'u i malama aku ai ia oe, aole hoi au i hoohala iki i kau olelo; aole loa hoi oe i haawi mai i wahi keiki kao na'u e ahaaina olioli pu ai au me ko'u mau honaloha;But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

30Aka hoi, i ka hoi ana mai o keia keiki au ka mea i hokai aku i kou waiwai me na wahine hookamakama, ua kalua koke no oe nana i ke keiki bipi i kupaluia.But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31A i aku la oia ia ia, E ka'u keiki, ua noho mau oe me au, a o na mea a pau a'u, o kau no ia.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32He mea pono no kakou e ahaaina olioli a me ka hauoli; no ka mea, o kou kaikaina nei, ua make no ia, a na ola hou mai nei; nalowale aku la ia, a ua loaa mai nei.But it was fitting to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
