¹Aga kõik tölnerid ja patused lähenesid Jeesusele teda kuulama.

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

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

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

³Siis ta rääkis neile selle tähendamissõna:

³He told them this parable.

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?

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?

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

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

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

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!’

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

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.

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?

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?

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

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.’

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

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

¹¹Jeesus ütles: 'Ühel inimesel oli kaks poega.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.’

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.’

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.’”
