Ang Nawala nga Karnero

(Mat. 18:12-14)

15 Daghang mga maniningil ug buhis ug uban pa nga mga tawo nga giila nga makasasala ang miduol kang Jesus aron sa pagpaminaw sa iyang mga pagpanudlo. Nagbagulbol ang mga Pariseo ug ang mga magtutudlo sa Kasugoan. Nagaingon sila, “Kining tawhana nagdawat sa mga makasasala, ug nakig-uban kanila sa pagpangaon!”

Busa gisultihan sila ni Jesus sa mga sambingay. Miingon siya, “Pananglitan, may tawo nga may 100 ka karnero. Nawala ang usa. Karon, unsa may iyang buhaton? Siyempre biyaan gayod una niya ang 99 sa sabsabanan ug pangitaon niya ang nawala hangtod nga makita kini. Kon makita na niya malipay gayod siya ug sung-ayon niya kini pauli. Pag-abot niya sa ilang balay panawgon dayon niya ang iyang mga amigo ug mga silingan ug moingon, ‘Dali kamo, maglipay kita, kay nakita ko na ang akong karnero nga nawala.’ ” Unya miingon si Jesus, “Sama usab niana didto sa langit. Mas dako ang kalipay tungod sa usa ka makasasala nga maghinulsol kaysa 99 nga mga matarong nga dili na kinahanglan nga maghinulsol.”

Ang Nawala nga Kuwarta

“O pananglitan may usa ka babaye nga may napulo ka sinsilyo. Unsa may iyang himuon kon mawala ang usa niini? Siyempre dagkotan niya ang suga, dayon silhigan ug maayo ang iyang balay aron pangitaon ang sinsilyo hangtod nga makita kini. Kon makita na niya kini, panawgon dayon niya ang iyang mga amiga ug mga silingan ug moingon, ‘Maglipay kita, kay nakita ko na ang akong sinsilyo nga nawala.’ ” 10 Unya miingon si Jesus, “Sama usab niana ang kalipay sa mga anghel sa Dios sa langit kon ang usa ka makasasala maghinulsol.”

Ang Nawala nga Anak

11 May usa pa gayod ka sambingay nga gisugilon ni Jesus. Miingon siya, “May usa ka tawo nga may duha ka anak nga lalaki. 12 Miingon ang manghod ngadto sa iyang amahan, ‘Tay, ihatag na kanako ang akong bahin sa katigayonan.’ Busa gibahin sa amahan ang iyang mga kabtangan ngadto sa ilang duha. 13 Paglabay sa pipila ka adlaw, gipamaligya sa manghod ang iyang bahin ug milakaw ngadto sa layong dapit. Ug didto nagpatuyang siya ug gasto sa iyang kuwarta sa walay kapuslanan. 14 Sa dihang nahurot na niya ug gasto ang iyang kuwarta, miabot ang dakong kagutom niadtong dapita. Naglisod gayod siya. 15 Busa mitrabaho na lang siya ingon nga tigbahog sa mga baboy sa uma sa tawo nga taga-didto. 16 Usahay gusto na lang niyang mokaon sa bahog sa mga baboy aron matambalan ang iyang kagutom, kay walay bisan usa nga naghatag kaniya ug pagkaon. 17 Sa kaulahian, nakaamgo siya sa iyang kahimtang. Nahinumdoman niya nga didto sa ilang balay nanobra ang pagkaon sa mga sulugoon sa iyang amahan. Apan siya hapit nang mamatay sa kagutom. 18 Busa miingon siya, ‘Maayo pa ug mopauli na lang ako didto sa akong amahan ug moingon kaniya, “Tay nakasala ako sa Dios ug kanimo. 19 Karon dili na ako angayng tawgon nga imong anak, isipa na lang ako nga usa sa imong mga sulugoon.” ’ 20 Busa mipauli siya. Samtang layo pa siya, nakita na siya sa iyang amahan. Nalooy gayod ang amahan sa iyang anak, busa midagan siya paingon sa iyang anak ug gigakos niya kini ug gihagkan. 21 Unya miingon ang iyang anak ngadto kaniya, ‘Tay, nakasala ako sa Dios ug kanimo. Dili na ako angayng tawgon nga imong anak. [Isipa na lang ako nga usa sa imong mga sulugoon.]’ 22 Gitawag sa amahan ang iyang mga sulugoon ug miingon, ‘Dali, dad-a ninyo dinhi ang pinakanindot nga bisti ug ipasul-ob kaniya. Sul-obi usab ninyo siya ug singsing ug sapatos. 23 Unya kuhaa ninyo ang toriyong baka nga gipatambok ug ihawa. Magkombira kita. 24 Tungod kay abi nako ug patay na kining akong anak, apan dako diayng buhi. Nawala siya apan karon ania na.’ Busa nagsugod sila sa ilang paglipay-lipay.

25 “Nahitabo kini samtang atua pa sa uma ang magulang nga anak. Sa iyang pagpauli, ug sa dihang nagkaduol na siya sa ilang balay, nadungog niya ang sonata ug panagsayaw. 26 Busa gitawag niya ang usa sa mga sulugoon ug nangutana, ‘Nagaunsa man mo diha sa balay?’ 27 Gisultihan siya sa sulugoon, ‘Ang imong manghod mipauli na ug maayo ang iyang panglawas ug wala maunsa, busa gipaihaw sa imong amahan ang gipatambok nga toriyong baka.’ 28 Pagkadungog niya niini nasuko siya ug dili na siya gustong mosulod sa balay. Busa migawas ang iyang amahan ug gialam-alaman siya. 29 Apan mitubag siya sa iyang amahan, ‘Hinumdomi ra gud kon pila na ka tuig ang akong pag-alagad kanimo. Wala gayod ako mosupak kanimo. Apan bisan kanding na lang wala mo gayod ako hatagi aron ako maglipay uban sa akong mga amigo. 30 Karon, pag-abot sa imong anak nga nagausik-usik sa imong kabtangan uban sa daotan nga mga babaye, gipaihawan mo pa siya sa gipatambok nga toriyong baka.’ 31 Apan mitubag ang iyang amahan, ‘Ikaw kanunayng ania uban kanako, ug ang tanan nga ako imo usab. 32 Angay kitang maglipay, kay abi nato ug patay na ang imong manghod, apan dako diayng buhi. Nawala siya apan karon ania na.’ ”

The Parable of the Lost Sheep(A)

15 Now the tax collectors(B) and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”(C)

Then Jesus told them this parable:(D) “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?(E) And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’(F) I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.(G)

The Parable of the Lost Coin

“Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’(H) 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”(I)

The Parable of the Lost Son

11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons.(J) 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’(K) So he divided his property(L) between them.

13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth(M) in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.(N) 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned(O) against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.(P)

21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.(Q) I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe(R) and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger(S) and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again;(T) he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.(U)

25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

28 “The older brother became angry(V) and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property(W) with prostitutes(X) comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”(Y)

  1. Luke 15:8 Greek ten drachmas, each worth about a day’s wages

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

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

And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

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?

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

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.

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.

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?

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.
