Lucas 15

1E Chegavam-se a ele todos os publicanos e pecadores para o ouvir.

1Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

2E os fariseus e os escribas murmuravam, dizendo: Este recebe pecadores, e come com eles.

2And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

3E ele lhes propôs esta parábola, dizendo:

3And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4Que homem dentre vós, tendo cem ovelhas, e perdendo uma delas, não deixa no deserto as noventa e nove, e vai após a perdida até que venha a achá-la?

4What 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?

5E achando-a, a põe sobre os seus ombros, jubiloso;

5And when he hath found {it}, he layeth {it} on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6E, chegando a casa, convoca os amigos e vizinhos, dizendo-lhes: Alegrai-vos comigo, porque já achei a minha ovelha perdida.

6And 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.

7Digo-vos que assim haverá alegria no céu por um pecador que se arrepende, mais do que por noventa e nove justos que não necessitam de arrependimento.

7I 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.

8Ou qual a mulher que, tendo dez dracmas, se perder uma dracma, não acende a candeia, e varre a casa, e busca com diligência até a achar?

8Either 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}? {pieces...: drachma, here translated a piece of silver, is the eighth part of an ounce, which cometh to seven pence halfpenny, and is equal to the Roman penny}

9E achando-a, convoca as amigas e vizinhas, dizendo: Alegrai-vos comigo, porque já achei a dracma perdida.

9And 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.

10Assim vos digo que há alegria diante dos anjos de Deus por um pecador que se arrepende.

10Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

11E disse: Um certo homem tinha dois filhos;

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

12E o mais moço deles disse ao pai: Pai, dá-me a parte dos bens que me pertence. E ele repartiu por eles a fazenda.

12And 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.

13E, poucos dias depois, o filho mais novo, ajuntando tudo, partiu para uma terra longínqua, e ali desperdiçou os seus bens, vivendo dissolutamente.

13And 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.

14E, havendo ele gastado tudo, houve naquela terra uma grande fome, e começou a padecer necessidades.

14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

15E foi, e chegou-se a um dos cidadãos daquela terra, o qual o mandou para os seus campos, a apascentar porcos.

15And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

16E desejava encher o seu estômago com as bolotas que os porcos comiam, e ninguém lhe dava nada.

16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

17E, tornando em si, disse: Quantos jornaleiros de meu pai têm abundância de pão, e eu aqui pereço de fome!

17And 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!

18Levantar-me-ei, e irei ter com meu pai, e dir-lhe-ei: Pai, pequei contra o céu e perante ti;

18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

19Já não sou digno de ser chamado teu filho; faze-me como um dos teus jornaleiros.

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

20E, levantando-se, foi para seu pai; e, quando ainda estava longe, viu-o seu pai, e se moveu de íntima compaixão e, correndo, lançou-se-lhe ao pescoço e o beijou.

20And 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.

21E o filho lhe disse: Pai, pequei contra o céu e perante ti, e já não sou digno de ser chamado teu filho.

21And 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.

22Mas o pai disse aos seus servos: Trazei depressa a melhor roupa; e vesti-lho, e ponde-lhe um anel na mão, e alparcas nos pés;

22But 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:

23E trazei o bezerro cevado, e matai-o; e comamos, e alegremo-nos;

23And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill {it}; and let us eat, and be merry:

24Porque este meu filho estava morto, e reviveu, tinha-se perdido, e foi achado. E começaram a alegrar-se.

24For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

25E o seu filho mais velho estava no campo; e quando veio, e chegou perto de casa, ouviu a música e as danças.

25Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

26E, chamando um dos servos, perguntou-lhe que era aquilo.

26And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

27E ele lhe disse: Veio teu irmão; e teu pai matou o bezerro cevado, porque o recebeu são e salvo.

27And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

28Mas ele se indignou, e não queria entrar.

28And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

29E saindo o pai, instava com ele. Mas, respondendo ele, disse ao pai: Eis que te sirvo há tantos anos, sem nunca transgredir o teu mandamento, e nunca me deste um cabrito para alegrar-me com os meus amigos;

29And 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:

30Vindo, porém, este teu filho, que desperdiçou os teus bens com as meretrizes, mataste-lhe o bezerro cevado.

30But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

31E ele lhe disse: Filho, tu sempre estás comigo, e todas as minhas coisas são tuas;

31And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

32Mas era justo alegrarmo-nos e folgarmos, porque este teu irmão estava morto, e reviveu; e tinha-se perdido, e achou-se.

32It 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.
