Luke 15 (TDX) · Opened

1Hene niropak’ am’ Iesoà amy zao o mpamory vili-lohao rekets’ o bey hakeoo hijanjiñe aze.Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.

2Le hoe ty fitreontreo’ o Fariseoo naho o mpanoki-dilio: Mandrambe mpanan-tahiñe t’indaty tia vaho mitrao-pilintseñe ama’e.So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

3Aa le nirazaña’e ty hoe:Then Jesus told them this parable:

4Ia ama’ areo aman’ añondry zato, ie rereke ty raike, ty tsy hienga i sivampolo sive’ amby rey an-tameañe ey heike, hihitrihitry hitsoeke i motsoy ampara’ te tendreke?“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?

5Ie isa’e, le anoe’e ega vaho ifalea’e,And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

6le ie pok’ añ’ anjomba’e ao, atonto’e o rañe’eo naho o marineo vaho anoe’e ty hoe: Antao hitrao-kaehak’ amako, fa nitreako i añondriko nimotsoy.comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’

7Itaroñako te hirebeke ty andindiñe ao ami’ty bei-hakeo misoloho te ami’ty maren-tane sivampolo sive’ amby tsy aman-kisolohoa’e.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.

8Ia ka ty rakemba aman-tsanganolo folo, ie motso ty raike ro tsy handrehetse jiro, hipio anjomba hikodebe ampara’ te isa’e?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?

9Ie zoe’e ro mamory o rañe’eo naho o mpifankarine ama’eo hanao ty hoe: Antao hitrao pinembanembañ’ amako; fa nitreako i tsanganolo nimotsoy.And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’

10Itaroñako te firebehañe ty añatrefa’ o anjelin’ Añahareo ami’ty fibaboha’ ty mpanan-tahiñe raike.In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”

11Tinovo’e ty hoe: Teo t’indaty aman’anadahy roe.Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.

12Le hoe ty zai’e aman-drae’e: O aba, atoloro ahy ty anjara lovako. Le zinara’e am’ iereo ty fiveloma’e.The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

13Ie modo ty andro tsy ampeampe le hene natonton-jai’e naho nifokofoko mb’an-tsietoitane añe vaho nirite’e ami’ty hatsivokarañe o fanaña’eo.After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.

14Ie nikapioke, nitondroke ty san-kerè mena amy taney vaho nirota.After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.

15Aa le niavotse re, noly amy t’indaty tompo-tane nañirak’ aze hiara-dambo an-tete’e añe.So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.

16Le naìna’e te ho nañatseke ty tro’e amo hara’e fihanen-damboo, fe tsy eo ty namahañe aze.He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.

17Ie nitombalin-dre, le hoe ty fisafiri’e: Firefire amo mpikarama aman-draeko añeo ro tsy enen-kaneñe, izaho mifeake ty kerè atoy!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!

18Hiavotse iraho himpoly mb’ aman-draeko añe, le hanoeko ty hoe: Ry aba, aman-kakeo andindìñey naho ama’o rahoI will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

19le tsy mañev’ ahy te hatao ana’o, ehe apoho ho mpiamo tsimañaja’oo.I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’

20Aa le niongake re nimpoly mb’ aman-drae’e añe. Ie mbe eñe te nitalaken-drae’e naho niferenaiña’e; vaho nihitrihitry mb’ ama’e mb’eo nametreke ty fititia’e naho norofa’e.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.

21Fa hoe ty nanoa’ i ana’ey: O aba, aman-tahiñe andindìñey naho ama’o iraho, tsy mañeva ahy ty hatao ty hoe ana’o ka.The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22Fe hoe ty rae’e amo mpitoro’eo: Hitrifo masika kirahe i sarimbo soay le isaroño; añombeo bange o taña’eo naho hana o tombo’eoBut 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.

23le endeso atoy i ana-bosy vinondrakey, lentao; naho antao hikama vaho hifale.Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.

24Amy te nihomake ty anako toy naho nivañom-beloñe, nimotso vaho nitrea. Aa le nifale iereo.For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.

25Tan-tetek’ añe i zoke’ey; aa ie nañarine i anjombay, le nahatsanom-peon-kafaleañe naho tsinjake.Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

26Le tsinikao’e ty mpitoroñe, naho nañontane ty foto’ o raha zao.So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.

27Le hoe ty nanoa’ i mpitoroñey: Nivotrak’ atoy i rahalahi’oy; aa kanao nijaranjaiñe i anadahi’ey, le vinonon-drae’o i ana-bosy vinondrakey.‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’

28Nioroñoroñe amy zao re nifoneñe tsy hizilik’ ao; aa le niakatse ty rae’e hañohò aze.The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.

29Fe hoe re aman-drae’e: Hete, fa haehae ty nitoroñako azo, le tsy nililareko ndra mbia’ mbia o lili’oo; fe mbe lia’e tsy nitolara’o ndra ty vi’e hifalefaleako amo rañekoo.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.

30Ie niloneake eo i ana-dahi’o nampianto ty harea’o amo tsimirirañeoy, le linenta’o i temboay vinondrakey.But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31Aa hoe ty saontsin-drae’e tama’e: O anake, toe amako etoañe nainai’e irehe; fonga azo o hanañakoo.‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.

32Fe evàe’e t’ie mifale naho mirebeke; amy te nihomake i rahalahi’oy f’ie nibodañe, nirereke fe nitendreke.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.’”
