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

¹Približevali pa so se mu vsi cestninarji in grešniki, da bi ga poslušali.

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

²In godrnjali so farizeji in pismarji, govoreč: Ta sprejema grešnike in ž njimi jé.

³And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

³A on jim pove tole priliko, govoreč:

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?

⁴Kateri človek izmed vas, ki ima sto ovac in izgubi eno izmed njih, ne pusti devetindevetdeseterih v puščavi, pa gre za izgubljeno, dokler je ne najde?

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

⁵In ko jo najde, jo zadene vesel na rame svoje,

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.

⁶in ko pride domov, skliče prijatelje in sosede ter jim reče: Radujte se z menoj! zakaj našel sem ovco svojo, ki se je bila izgubila.

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.

⁷Pravim vam, da tako bode radost v nebesih večja nad enim grešnikom, ki se izpokori, nego nad devetindevetdeseterimi pravičnimi, katerim ni treba pokore.

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?

⁸Ali katera žena, ki ima deset srebrnikov, če izgubi en srebrnik, ne prižge sveče in ne pomete hiše ter išče skrbno, dokler ga ne najde?

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.

⁹In ko ga najde, skliče prijateljice in sosedinje in reče: Radujte se z menoj! zakaj našla sem srebrnik, ki sem ga bila izgubila.

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

¹⁰Tako, pravim vam, je tudi radost pred angeli Božjimi nad enim grešnikom, ki se izpokori.

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

¹¹In reče: Neki človek je imel dva sina.

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.

¹²In mlajši reče očetu: Oče, daj mi del premoženja, ki mi pripada. In razdeli jima premoženje.

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.

¹³In čez nekoliko dni zbere mlajši sin vse in odpotuje v daljno deželo, in tu raztrosi premoženje svoje, živeč samopašno.

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

¹⁴In ko je bil vse potratil, nastane huda lakota v tisti deželi, in on začne stradati.

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

¹⁵In gre in se pridruži enemu izmed meščanov te dežele; in ta ga pošlje na svoje polje svinje past.

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

¹⁶In želel se je nasititi z rožiči, ki so jih svinje jedle, ali nihče mu jih ni dal.

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!

¹⁷Ko pa pride sam v se, reče: Koliko najemnikov očeta mojega ima obilo kruha, jaz pa tu lakote pogibljem!

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

¹⁸Vstanem, pojdem k očetu svojemu in mu porečem: Oče, grešil sem zoper nebo in pred teboj!

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

¹⁹nisem več vreden, da bi se sin tvoj imenoval: naredi me kakor enega najemnikov svojih.

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.

²⁰In vstane in gre k očetu svojemu. A ko je bil še daleč, ga ugleda oče njegov in se mu v srce zasmili ter priteče in se oklene vratu njegovega in ga poljublja.

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.

²¹A sin mu reče: Oče, grešil sem zoper nebo in pred teboj, in nisem več vreden, da bi se sin tvoj imenoval.

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:

²²Oče pa veli hlapcem svojim: Hitro prinesite najlepšo suknjo in oblecite ga; in denite mu prstan na roko in obuvalo na noge;

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

²³in pripeljite tele pitano in ga zakoljite, in jejmo in se veselimo:

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

²⁴zakaj ta sin moj je bil mrtev, in je oživel, in izgubljen je bil, in se je našel. In začno se veseliti.

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

²⁵A starejši sin njegov je bil na polju; in ko se gredoč približa hiši, zasliši godbo in ples

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

²⁶ter pokliče enega hlapcev in vpraša, kaj bi to bilo.

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.

²⁷On mu pa reče: Brat tvoj je prišel, in oče tvoj je zaklal tele pitano, ker ga je zopet dobil zdravega.

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

²⁸On pa se razjezi in noče iti noter. Tedaj pride ven oče njegov ter ga prosi.

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:

²⁹On pa odgovori in reče očetu svojemu: Glej, toliko let ti služim in nikoli nisem prestopil zapovedi tvoje, a meni nisi dal nikoli kozliča, da bi se s prijatelji svojimi razveselil.

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

³⁰Ko je pa prišel ta sin tvoj, ki je zažrl premoženje tvoje z vlačugami, si mu zaklal tele pitano.

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

³¹On mu pa reče: Sin, ti si vsekdar pri meni, in vse moje je tvoje.Treba pa se je bilo veseliti in radovati, ker je bil ta brat tvoj mrtev in je oživel, in izgubljen je bil in se je našel.

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.

³²Treba pa se je bilo veseliti in radovati, ker je bil ta brat tvoj mrtev in je oživel, in izgubljen je bil in se je našel.
