KAPTINA XV.
1 Edhe gjithë publikanët’ e fajtorët’ iu afruenë për me e ndëgjuem.
2 Edhe Fariseit’ e Shkruisitë murmurojshinë, tue thanë, se: Kyi pret fajtorë, edhe ha bashkë me ata.
3 Edhe ai u tha atyne këte parabullë, tue thanë:
4 Cilli nieri asht’ ai prei jush qi të ketë nji qind dhen, edhe ndë huptë nji prei atyneve, nukë le të nandë-dhet’ e nandatë ndë shkretinë, edhe vete me kërkuem ate qi ka hupunë, ngjysh sa ta gjejë?
5 Edhe si ta gjejë, e merr mbi krahat’ e vet tue u gëzuem.
6 Edhe kur vien ndë shtëpit, thërret miqt’ edhe fëqijtë, e u thot’ atyne: Gëzohi bashkë me mue, se gjeta delenë t’eme qi pat hupunë.
7 Po u thom juve, se kështu ka me qenunë gëzim edhe ndë qiell për nji fajtuer qi pendohetë, se për nandë-dhet’ e nandë të dreitë, të cillëtë s’kanë nevojë për pendesë.
8 A cilla grue asht’ ajo qi ka dhetë drehemë, ndë i huptë nji drehem, nukë ndes kandilin’, edhe mpshin shtëpinë, edhe kërkon me kujdes, ngjysh sa ta gjejë?
9 Edhe si ta gjejë, thërret mikneshat’ e fëqijtë, tue thanë: Gëzohi bashkë me mue, se gjeta dreheminë qi hupa.
10 Kështu, po u thom juve, bahetë gëzim përpara engjujvet Perëndisë për nji fajtuer qi pendohetë.
11 Për-së-ri tha: Nji nieri kishte dy bij;
12 edhe ma i vogëli prei asish i tha të i atit: Atë, më nep piesën’ e gjasë qi më bije me marrë . Edhe ai u dau gjanë atyne.
13 Edhe mbas pak ditsh ma i vogëli bir mbëloth gjithë se qish pat, edhe iku ndë dhe të huej, mbë nji vend të largë, edhe atie shpërdau gjan’ e vet, tue shkuem jetë si plank-prishës.
14 Edhe ai si prishi të gjitha, u ba nji zi e madhe mb’ate vend, edhe ai filloi me pasunë të mangutë.
15 Atëherë voiti e u ngjit mbas nji qytetari t’ati vendi; edhe ai e dërgoi nd’arat e veta me kullotunë thitë.
16 Edhe dëshëronte me mbushunë barkun’ e vet me harupat qi hajshinë thitë, por kurkushi s’i nepte.
17 - Edhe ai si erdhi mbë vetëvetëhenë, tha: Sa punëtorëve të t’im et u tepërojnë bukëtë; e unë po vdirem prei uniet!
18 Do të ngrihem e do të vete tek em atë, edhe do t’i thom: O Atë, fëjeva ndë qiell, edhe përpara tejet,
19 edhe nukë jam ma i vëjefshim me u queitunë biri yt: banmë porsi nji prei punëtorëvet tu.
20 Edhe u ngrit e erdhi tek i ati vet. Edhe ai kur ishte edhe lark, i ati e pa, edhe iu dhimti; edhe u tuerr e ra mbë shit t’ati, edhe e puthi.
21 Edhe i biri i tha: O Atë, fëjeva ndë qiell, edhe përpara tejet, edhe nukë jam ma i vëjefshim me u queitunë biri yt.
22 Por i ati u tha shërbëtorëvet vet: Nxirni jashtë stolin’ e parë, edhe ia veshni; edhe i veni unazënë n’dorë, edhe këpucëtë ndë kambët;
23 edhe bini viçin’ e ushqyeshim, edhe thernia; edhe le të ham’ e le të gëzohemi,
24 sepse kyi em bir qe i vdekun’, e u ngjall për-së-ri; edhe qe i hupun’, e u gjind. Edhe filluenë me u gëzuem.
25 Edhe i bir’ i ati ma i madhi ishte nd’arë; edhe kur erdhi e u afru ndë shtëpit, ndëgjoi kankë e valle.
26 Edhe thirri nji prei shërbëtorëvet, edhe e pyeste qish janë këto punë.
27 Edhe ai i tha, se: Ka ardhun yt vëlla. Edhe yt atë theri viçin’ e ushqyeshim, sepse e priti të shëndoshë.
28 Edhe ai u zemërue, edhe s’donte me hymë mbrenda. I ati pra duel, e i lutei.
29 Edhe ai u përgjeq, e i tha të i atit: Qe te po të shërbej kaqi viet, edhe as ndoni herë s’ta kapërceva urdhëniminë; edhe kurrë ndonji herë s’më dhe nji eth, qi të gëzohem bashkë me miqt e mi.
30 Por kur erdhi kyi yt bir qi hangër gjanë tande bashkë me kurvat, i there viçin’ e ushqyeshim.
31 Edhe ai i tha: O dial, ti je përherë bashkë me mue, edhe gjithë të miatë janë të tuatë.
32 Edhe duhei me u gazëmuem e me u gëzuem, sepse kyi yt vëlla qe i vdekun’, e u ngjall për-së-ri; edhe qe i hupun’ e u gjind.
1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 ¶ And he spake this parable unto them, saying, 4 What 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? 5 And when he hath found it , he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And 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. 7 I 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.
8 ¶ Either 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 ? 9 And 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. 10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11 ¶ And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 And 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. 13 And 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. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 And 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! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20 And 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. 21 And 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. 22 But 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: 23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it ; and let us eat, and be merry: 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. 26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. 28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. 29 And 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: 30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. 31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. 32 It 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.
