¹Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

¹Aga kõik tölnerid ja patused lähenesid Jeesusele teda kuulama.

²And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

²Ja variserid ja kirjatundjad nurisesid, öeldes: 'Tema võtab vastu patuseid ja sööb koos nendega!'

³And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

³Siis ta rääkis neile selle tähendamissõna:

⁴What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

⁴'Missugune inimene teie seast, kui tal on sada lammast ja ta ühe neist kaotab, ei jäta neid üheksatkümmend üheksat kõrbe ega lähe kadunule järele, kuni ta tema leiab?

⁵And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

⁵Ja kui ta on tema leidnud, siis ta võtab tema rõõmuga oma õlgadele

⁶And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

⁶ja kutsub koju jõudes kokku sõbrad ja naabrid, öeldes neile: 'Rõõmustage koos minuga, sest ma olen leidnud oma kadunud lamba!'

⁷I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

⁷Ma ütlen teile, nõnda on taevas ühe meeltparandanud patuse pärast rohkem rõõmu kui üheksakümne üheksa õige pärast, kellele ei ole vaja meeleparandust.

⁸Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

⁸Või milline naine, kellel on kümme drahmi ja kui ta ühe drahmi on ära kaotanud, ei läida lampi ega pühi maja ega otsi hoolega, kuni ta selle leiab?

⁹And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

⁹Ja kui ta selle on leidnud, kutsub ta kokku sõbrad ja naabrid, öeldes: 'Rõõmustage koos minuga, sest ma olen leidnud oma drahmi, mille kaotasin!'

¹⁰Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

¹⁰Nõnda, ma ütlen teile, tõuseb rõõm Jumala inglite ees ühe patuse pärast, kes meelt parandab.'

¹¹And he said, A certain man had two sons:

¹¹Jeesus ütles: 'Ühel inimesel oli kaks poega.

¹²And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

¹²Ja noorem neist ütles isale: 'Isa, anna mulle kätte see osa varandusest, mis saab minule!' Ja isa jagaski varanduse nende vahel.

¹³And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

¹³Ja juba mõne päeva pärast kogus noorem poeg kõik kokku ning reisis kaugele maale, ja seal pillas ta ära oma vara, elades ohjeldamatult.

¹⁴And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

¹⁴Aga kui ta oli kõik ära kulutanud, tuli sellele maale kange nälg, ja puudus hakkas temalegi kätte tulema.

¹⁵And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

¹⁵Ja ta läks ja poetas enda ühe sealtmaa kodaniku juurde ning see saatis ta oma väljadele sigu hoidma.

¹⁶And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

¹⁶Ja ta püüdis oma kõhtu täita kõtradest, mida sead sõid, ja ükski ei andnud talle.

¹⁷And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

¹⁷Aga kui ta mõttesse jäi, siis ta ütles: 'Kui palju palgalisi on mu isal ja neil on leiba küllalt, aga mina suren siin nälga!

¹⁸I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

¹⁸Ma tõusen ja lähen oma isa juurde ja ütlen talle: 'Isa, ma olen pattu teinud taeva vastu ja sinu ees,

¹⁹And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

¹⁹ma ei ole enam väärt, et mind su pojaks hüütaks! Pea mind nagu üht oma palgalistest!''

²⁰And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

²⁰Ja ta tõusis ja asus teele oma isa juurde. Aga kui ta alles kaugel oli, nägi isa teda ja tal hakkas hale ning ta jooksis ja langes poja kaela ja andis talle suud.

²¹And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

²¹Aga poeg ütles isale: 'Isa, ma olen pattu teinud taeva vastu ja sinu ees, ma ei ole enam väärt, et mind su pojaks hüütaks!'

²²But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

²²Ent isa ütles oma sulastele: 'Tooge kiiresti kõige kallim kuub ja pange talle selga ja andke talle sõrmus sõrme ja jalatsid jalga

²³And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

²³ja tooge nuumvasikas, tapke see ja söögem ning olgem rõõmsad,

²⁴For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

²⁴sest see mu poeg oli surnud, ja on jälle saanud elavaks, ta oli kadunud, ja on leitud!' Ja nad hakkasid rõõmsasti pidutsema.

²⁵Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

²⁵Aga tema vanem poeg oli väljal ja kui ta sealt tulles jõudis maja lähedale, kuulis ta pilli ja tantsimist,

²⁶And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

²⁶ja ta kutsus ühe sulastest enda juurde ja päris, mis see võiks olla.

²⁷And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

²⁷See ütles temale: 'Sinu vend on tulnud ja su isa on tapnud nuumvasika, sest ta on saanud tema tagasi täies tervises.'

²⁸And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

²⁸Ent tema vihastas ega tahtnud sisse minna. Siis tuli isa õue ja palus teda.

²⁹And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

²⁹Tema aga vastas isale: 'Vaata, nii palju aastaid olen mina sind orjanud ega ole kunagi astunud üle sinu käsust, ent sina ei ole mulle kunagi andnud üht sikkugi, et ma oleksin võinud rõõmsasti pidutseda oma sõpradega.

³⁰But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

³⁰Aga kui see su poeg, kes su vara on hooradega nahka pannud, tuli tagasi, siis sa tapsid temale nuumvasika!'

³¹And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

³¹Isa ütles talle: 'Poeg, sina oled alati minu juures, ja kõik, mis on minu, on sinu oma.

³²It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

³²Nüüd aga oli tarvis pidutseda ja rõõmutseda, sest see su vend oli surnud ja on jälle saanud elavaks, ning oli kadunud ja on leitud.''
