¹Okupljahu se oko njega svi carinici i grešnici da ga slušaju.

¹And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming near to him to hear him;

²Stoga farizeji i pismoznanci mrmljahu: "Ovaj prima grešnike, i blaguje s njima."

²and the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This [man] receives sinners and eats with them.

³Nato im Isus kaza ovu prispodobu:

³And he spoke to them this parable, saying,

⁴"Tko to od vas, ako ima sto ovaca pa izgubi jednu od njih, ne ostavi onih devedeset i devet u pustinji te pođe za izgubljenom dok je ne nađe?

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

⁵A kad je nađe, stavi je na ramena sav radostan

⁵and having found it, he lays it upon his own shoulders, rejoicing;

⁶pa došavši kući, sazove prijatelje i susjede i rekne im: 'Radujte se sa mnom! Nađoh ovcu svoju izgubljenu.'

⁶and being come to the house, calls together the friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.

⁷Kažem vam, tako će na nebu biti veća radost zbog jednog obraćena grešnika nego li zbog devedeset i devet pravednika kojima ne treba obraćenja."

⁷I say unto you, that thus there shall be joy in heaven for one repenting sinner, [more] than for ninety and nine righteous who have no need of repentance.

⁸"Ili koja to žena, ima li deset drahma pa izgubi jednu drahmu, ne zapali svjetiljku, pomete kuću i brižljivo pretraži dok je ne nađe?

⁸Or, what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek carefully till she find it?

⁹A kad je nađe, pozove prijateljice i susjede pa će im: 'Radujte se sa mnom! Nađoh drahmu što je bijah izgubila.'

⁹and having found it she calls together the friends and neighbours, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost.

¹⁰Tako, kažem vam, biva radost pred anđelima Božjim zbog jednog obraćena grešnika."

¹⁰Thus, I say unto you, there is joy before the angels of God for one repenting sinner.

¹¹I nastavi: "Čovjek neki imao dva sina.

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

¹²Mlađi reče ocu: 'Oče, daj mi dio dobara koji mi pripada.' I razdijeli im imanje.

¹²and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give to me the share of the property that falls [to me]. And he divided to them what he was possessed of.

¹³Nakon nekoliko dana mlađi sin pokupi sve, otputova u daleku zemlju i ondje potrati svoja dobra živeći razvratno."

¹³And after not many days the younger son gathering all together went away into a country a long way off, and there dissipated his property, living in debauchery.

¹⁴"Kad sve potroši, nasta ljuta glad u onoj zemlji te on poče oskudijevati.

¹⁴But when he had spent all there arose a violent famine throughout that country, and he began to be in want.

¹⁵Ode i pribi se kod jednoga žitelja u onoj zemlji. On ga posla na svoja polja pasti svinje.

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

¹⁶Želio se nasititi rogačima što su ih jele svinje, ali mu ih nitko nije davao."

¹⁶And he longed to fill his belly with the husks which the swine were eating; and no one gave to him.

¹⁷"Došavši k sebi, reče: 'Koliki najamnici oca moga imaju kruha napretek, a ja ovdje umirem od gladi!

¹⁷And coming to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have abundance of bread, and *I* perish here by famine.

¹⁸Ustat ću, poći svomu ocu i reći mu: 'Oče, sagriješih protiv Neba i pred tobom!

¹⁸I will rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee;

¹⁹Nisam više dostojan zvati se sinom tvojim. Primi me kao jednog od svojih najamnika.'"

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

²⁰"Usta i pođe svom ocu. Dok je još bio daleko, njegov ga otac ugleda, ganu se, potrča, pade mu oko vrata i izljubi ga.

²⁰And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.

²¹A sin će mu: 'Oče! Sagriješih protiv Neba i pred tobom! Nisam više dostojan zvati se sinom tvojim.'

²¹And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee; I am no longer worthy to be called thy son.

²²A otac reče slugama: 'Brzo iznesite haljinu najljepšu i obucite ga! Stavite mu prsten na ruku i obuću na noge!

²²But the father said to his bondmen, Bring out the best robe and clothe him in [it], and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;

²³Tele ugojeno dovedite i zakoljite, pa da se pogostimo i proveselimo

²³and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:

²⁴jer sin mi ovaj bijaše mrtav i oživje, izgubljen bijaše i nađe se!' I stadoše se veseliti."

²⁴for this my son was dead and has come to life, was lost and has been found. And they began to make merry.

²⁵"A stariji mu sin bijaše u polju. Kad se na povratku približio kući, začu svirku i igru

²⁵And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming [up], he drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.

²⁶pa dozva jednoga slugu da se raspita što je to.

²⁶And having called one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be.

²⁷A ovaj će mu: 'Došao tvoj brat pa otac tvoj zakla tele ugojeno što sina zdrava dočeka.'

²⁷And he said to him, Thy brother is come, and thy father has killed the fatted calf because he has received him safe and well.

²⁸A on se rasrdi i ne htjede ući. Otac tada iziđe i stane ga nagovarati.

²⁸But he became angry and would not go in. And his father went out and besought him.

²⁹A on će ocu: 'Evo toliko ti godina služim i nikada ne prestupih tvoju zapovijed, a nikad mi ni jareta nisi dao da se s prijateljima proveselim.

²⁹But he answering said to his father, Behold, so many years I serve thee, and never have I transgressed a commandment of thine; and to me hast thou never given a kid that I might make merry with my friends:

³⁰A kada dođe ovaj sin tvoj koji s bludnicama proždrije tvoje imanje, ti mu zakla ugojeno tele.'

³⁰but when this thy son, who has devoured thy substance with harlots, is come, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

³¹Nato će mu otac: 'Sinko, ti si uvijek sa mnom i sve moje - tvoje je.

³¹But he said to him, Child, *thou* art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.

³²No trebalo se veseliti i radovati jer ovaj brat tvoj bijaše mrtav i oživje, izgubljen i nađe se!'"

³²But it was right to make merry and rejoice, because this thy brother was dead and has come to life again, and was lost and has been found.
