¹An holl bublikaned hag an dud a vuhez fall a dostae ouzh Jezuz evit e glevout.

¹Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.

²Ar farizianed hag ar skribed a grozmole, o lavarout: Hemañ a zegemer an dud a vuhez fall hag a zebr ganto.

²The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”

³Met eñ a lavaras dezho ar barabolenn-mañ:

³He told them this parable.

⁴Pehini ac'hanoc'h, mar en deus kant dañvad, ha mar deu da goll unan anezho, ne lez ket an naontek ha pevar-ugent all el lec'h distro, evit mont da glask an hini a zo kollet, betek m'en deus e gavet?

⁴ “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?

⁵Ha piv, o vezañ e gavet, n'en laka war e zivskoaz gant levenez,

⁵ When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

⁶hag, o vezañ deuet d'ar gêr, ne c'halv e vignoned hag e amezeien, ha ne lavar dezho: En em laouenait ganin, rak kavet em eus va dañvad a oa kollet?

⁶ When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’

⁷Me a lavar deoc'h, e vo muioc'h a levenez en neñv evit ur pec'her hepken hag en deus keuz, eget na vo evit naontek ha pevar-ugent ha n'o deus ket ezhomm a geuzidigezh.

⁷ I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.

⁸Pe, piv eo ar wreg, o kaout dek pezh arc'hant, mar koll unan anezho, n'enaou ket ur c'houlaouenn, ne skub ket he zi, ha ne glask ket gant evezh anezhañ betek ma deu d'e gavout,

⁸ Or what woman, if she had ten drachma A drachma coin was worth about 2 days wages for an agricultural laborer. coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?

⁹hag, o vezañ kavet anezhañ, ne c'halv he mignonezed hag hec'h amezegezed, ha ne lavar dezho: En em laouenait ganin, rak kavet em eus ar pezh arc'hant am boa kollet?

⁹ When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.’

¹⁰Me a lavar deoc'h, ez eus levenez dirak aeled Doue evit ur pec'her hepken hag en deus keuz.

¹⁰ Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”

¹¹Lavarout a reas dezho c'hoazh: Un den en devoa daou vab.

¹¹He said, “A certain man had two sons.

¹²An hini yaouankañ a lavaras d'e dad: Va zad, ro din al lodenn eus ar madoù a zle degouezhout din. Hag an tad a lodennas dezho e vadoù.

¹² The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ He divided his livelihood between them.

¹³Un nebeut deizioù goude, ar mab yaouankañ o vezañ dastumet kement en devoa, a yeas d'ur vro bell hag a zispignas enni e vadoù, o vevañ en diroll.

¹³ Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.

¹⁴Goude m'en devoa dispignet holl, e teuas un naonegezh vras er vro-se, hag en em gavas en dienez.

¹⁴ When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.

¹⁵O vezañ aet, en em lakaas e servij unan eus tud ar vro-se; kaset e voe gantañ en e zouaroù da vesa ar moc'h.

¹⁵ He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

¹⁶Hag en dije karet leuniañ e gof gant ar c'hlosoù a zebre ar moc'h; met den ne roe dezhañ.

¹⁶ He wanted to fill his belly with the husks that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.

¹⁷O vezañ eta deuet ennañ e-unan, e lavaras: Pegement a vevelien a zo gopraet gant va zad hag o deus bara e-leizh, ha me a varv gant an naon!

¹⁷ But when he came to himself he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!

¹⁸Sevel a rin hag ez in da gavout va zad, hag e lavarin dezhañ: Va zad, pec'het em eus a-enep an neñv hag a-enep dit,

¹⁸ I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight.

¹⁹n'on ken din da vezañ galvet da vab; degemer ac'hanon evel unan eus da vevelien.

¹⁹ I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’

²⁰Mont a reas eta hag e teuas da gavout e dad. Evel ma oa c'hoazh pell, e dad a welas anezhañ hag en devoe truez outañ, hag, o redek d'e gavout, e lamas d'e c'houzoug hag e pokas dezhañ.

²⁰ “He arose, and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

²¹E vab a lavaras dezhañ: Va zad, pec'het em eus a-enep an neñv hag a-enep dit, n'on ken din da vezañ galvet da vab.

²¹ The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

²²Met an tad a lavaras d'e vevelien: degasit ar sae gaerañ, hag he gwiskit dezhañ; lakait ur walenn war e viz, ha botoù en e dreid.

²² “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe, and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.

²³Degasit al leue lart ha lazhit anezhañ; debromp hag en em laouenaomp,

²³ Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat, and celebrate;

²⁴rak ar mab-mañ din a oa marv, hag eo distroet d'ar vuhez; kollet e oa, hag eo adkavet. Hag en em lakajont d'en em laouenaat.

²⁴ for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’ They began to celebrate.

²⁵Ar mab henañ a oa er parkeier. Pa zistroas ha pa dostaas ouzh an ti, e klevas ar sonerezh hag an dañsoù.

²⁵ “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.

²⁶Gervel a reas unan eus ar servijerien, hag e c'houlennas digantañ petra a oa kement-se.

²⁶ He called one of the servants to him, and asked what was going on.

²⁷Ar servijer a lavaras dezhañ: Da vreur a zo distro, ha da dad en deus lazhet al leue lart, abalamour ma'z eo distroet yac'h.

²⁷ He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’

²⁸Met hemañ a yeas droug ennañ, ha ne felle ket dezhañ mont en ti. E dad a zeuas er-maez hag en pedas da vont e-barzh.

²⁸ But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore his father came out, and begged him.

²⁹Met eñ a respontas d'e dad: Setu, ez eus kement a vloazioù abaoe ma servijan ac'hanout hep bezañ biskoazh manket da'z kourc'hemenn, ha ne'c'h eus biskoazh roet din ur c'havrig evit en em laouenaat gant va mignoned.

²⁹ But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.

³⁰Ha pa'z eo deuet ar mab-mañ dit, an hini en deus debret da vadoù gant merc'hed fall, ec'h eus lakaet lazhañ al leue lart evitañ!

³⁰ But when this, your son, came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’

³¹E dad a lavaras dezhañ: Va mab, te a zo bepred ganin, ha kement am eus a zo dit.

³¹ “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.

³²Met ret mat e oa en em laouenaat hag en em sederaat, rak da vreur amañ a oa marv, hag deuet eo d'ar vuhez en-dro; kollet e oa, met adkavet eo.

³² But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
