Ardi galduaren parabola

(Mt 18,12-14)

1 Zergalari eta bekatarit guztiak Jesusengana bildu ohi ziren hari entzutera,t

2 eta fariseuak eta lege-maisuak marmarrean ari ziren esanez: «Horrek harrera ona egiten die bekatariei, baita beraiekin jan ere!»
3 Jesusek parabola hau esan zien: 4 «Zuetako nor, ehun ardi izan eta bat galtzen bazaio, ez da, beste laurogeita hemeretziak larrean utzirik, galduaren bila joaten aurkitu arte?t 5 Eta aurkitzen duenean, lepoan hartzen du poz-pozik 6 eta, etxeratzean, adiskideak eta auzokoak bildu eta esaten die: “Egin festa nirekin, aurkitu baitut galdutako ardia!”t

7 Egia esan, Jainkoak ere poz handiagoa hartzen dut bihozberritzen den bekatari batengatik, bihozberritu beharrik ez duten laurogeita hemeretzi zintzoengatik baino.t

Txanpon galduaren parabola

10 Egia esan, berdin pozten da Jainkoa ere bere aingeruekin bihozberritzen den bekatari batengatik».

Aita errukitsuaren eta bi semeen parabola

12 Gazteenak esan zion aitari: “Aita, emadazu dagokidan senipartea”. Eta aitak ondasunak banatu zizkien.
13 «Handik egun gutxira, seme gazteenak, zituen guztiak bildurik, urrutiko herrialde batera alde egin zuen eta han, galdukerian biziz, ondasun guztiak jan. 14 Dena xahutu zuenean, gosete ikaragarria gertatu zen inguru hartan eta estu aurkitzen hasi zen. 15 Orduan, herrialde hartako gizon batengana joan zen morroi, eta hark bere sailetara bidali zuen txerrizaint.t 16 Txerriek jaten zuten ezkurrez asetzeko gogoa ematen zion, ez baitzion inork jaten ematen. 17 Orduan, pentsatzen jarririk, bere baitan esan zuen: “Zenbat langile gure aitarenean nahi adina ogi eta gehiago dutela, eta ni hemen goseak hiltzen! 18 Jaiki, aitarengana joan eta esango diot: Aita, bekatu egin dut Jainkoarent eta zure kontra.

19 Ez dut gehiago seme-izenik merezi. Har nazazu zeure langileetako bat bezala”.
20 «Jaiki eta aitaren etxera abiatu zen. Oraindik urruti zegoela, ikusi zuen aitak eta errukitu egin zen; eta, lasterka joanik, besarkatu eta musuka hasi zitzaion.t 21 Semeak esan zion: “Aita, bekatu egin dut Jainkoaren eta zure kontra. Ez dut gehiago zure seme-izenik merezi… ”. 22 Aitak, ordea, esan zien morroiei: “Ekarri bizkor jantzirik onena eta jantziozue, ipiniozue eraztuna eta jantzi oinetakoakt; 23 ekarri zekor gizendua eta hil; egin dezagun festa-otordua;

24 zeren seme hau hilda bainuen eta piztu egin zait, galdua nuen eta aurkitu egin dut”. Eta festa hasi zuten.t
25 «Seme zaharrena soroan zen. Etxerakoan, hurbildu ahala, soinua eta dantzak sumatu zituen. 26 Eta, morroi bati deiturik, zer gertatzen zen galdetu zion. 27 Hark erantzun: “Zure anaia etorri da eta zekor gizendua hiltzeko agindu du zuen aitak, semea onik bereganatu duelako”. 28 Biziki haserretu zen anaia eta ez zuen sartu nahi. Atera zen aita eta erreguka hasi zitzaion. 29 Baina hark erantzun zion aitari: “Hainbeste urte da zure agindu bat ere sekula huts egin gabe zerbitzatzen zaitudala, eta ez didazu egundaino antxume bat ere eman, lagunekin festa egiteko; 30 eta, horko zure seme hori, zure ondasunak emagalduekin jan dituen hori, etorri dela eta, zekor gizendua hil duzu”. 31 Aitak erantzun zion: “Seme, zu beti nirekin zaude, eta nire guztia zeurea duzu! 32 Baina egoki zen poztu eta festa egitea, zure anaia hau hilda baikenuen eta piztu egin zaigu, galdua genuen eta aurkitu egin dugu!”»

Luke 15

The Parable of the Lost Sheep and Coin

1 Now all the tax collectorss and sinners were comingt to hear him.

2 Butt the Phariseess and the experts in the lawt were complaining,t “This man welcomest sinners and eats with them.”
3 Sot Jesust told thems this parable:t4 “Which onet of you, if he has a hundreds sheep and loses one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasturet and go look fort the one that is lost until he finds it?s5 Thent when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing.6 Returningt home, he calls togethers hist friends and neighbors, telling them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.’

7 I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinners who repents than over ninety-nine righteous peoplet who have no need to repent.t
8 “Or what woman, if she has ten silver coinss and losest one of them,t does not light a lamp, sweept the house, and search thoroughly until she finds it?9 Thent when she has found it, she calls together hert friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoices with me, for I have found the coint that I had lost.’

10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angelss over one sinner who repents.”

The Parable of the Compassionate Father

11 Thent Jesust said, “A man had two sons.12 Thet younger of them said to hist father, ‘Father, give me the share of the estatet that will belongt to me.’ Sot he divided hist assets between them.s13 Aftert a few days,t the younger son gathered together all he had and left on a journey to a distant country, and there he squanderedt his wealtht with a wild lifestyle.14 Thent after he had spent everything, a severe famine took place in that country, and he began to be in need.15 So he went and worked fort one of the citizens of that country, whot sent him to his fields to feed pigs.s16 Het was longing to eatt the carob podst the pigs were eating, butt no one gave him anything.17 But when he came to his sensest he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have foodt enough to spare, but here I am dying from hunger!18 I will get up and go to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinneds against heavens and againstt you.19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat met like one of your hired workers.”’20 Sot he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way from homet his father saw him, and his heart went out to him;ts he ran and huggedt his sont and kissed him.21 Thent his son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heavens and against you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’s22 But the father said to his slaves,t ‘Hurry! Bring the best robe,s and put it on him! Put a ring on his fingert and sandalss on his feet!23 Bringt the fattened calft and kill it! Let us eatt and celebrate,

24 because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again – he was lost and is found!’s Sot they began to celebrate.
25 “Now his older son was in the field. Ast he came and approached the house, he heard musics and dancing.26 Sot he called one of the slavest and asked what was happening.27 The slave replied,t ‘Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fattened calft because he got his sont back safe and sound.’28 But the older sont became angryt and refuseds to go in. His father came out and appealed to him,29 but he answeredt his father, ‘Look! These many years I have worked like a slavet for you, and I never disobeyed your commands. Yett you never gave me even a goats so that I could celebrate with my friends!30 But when this son of yourss came back, who has devoureds your assets with prostitutes,s you killed the fattened calfs for him!’31 Thent the fathert said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and everything that belongs to me is yours.

32 It was appropriatet to celebrate and be glad, for your brothers was dead, and is alive; he was lost and is found.’”s
