SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:11–32: Jesus told about a father welcoming his sinful son home

In this parable Jesus told about a young man who left his father’s home and wasted the money that his father had given him. Then Jesus told how the young man returned to his father, and how his father welcomed him home. The young man had an older brother who was not happy at all when his father welcomed his younger brother. This story illustrates what God is like. He is ready to forgive anyone who truly turns from his sins and begins to obey him. It also warns people not to be like the older son, who did not want to forgive his brother.

Some other headings for this section are:

The Lost Son (GNT)

The Son Who Left Home (NCV)

A son who wasted his share of the inheritance

A father was happy when his son returned home

Before you decide on a heading for this section, think about a natural way in your language to describe a child who deliberately left home and foolishly wasted his money. In some languages a word such as “lost” can only be used to describe someone who doesn’t know where he is. If that is true in your language, you will want to use a more appropriate expression for this context.

15:14a

After he had spent all he had,

After he had spent all he had: The clause After he had spent all he had means that the young man had used up all his money. Other ways to translate this are:

In this way he spent all his money

He had nothing left when… (GW)

15:14b

a severe famine swept through that country,

a severe famine swept through that country: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as a severe famine swept through that country is literally “there-came a severe famine.” Languages have different ways to describe the start or spread of a famine. Some other ways to translate this clause are:

a time came when there was no food anywhere in the country (NCV)

a bad famine spread through that whole land (CEV)

that country experienced a severe famine (NJB)

a severe famine: The phrase a severe famine refers to a time when there was little food available for humans or animals to eat.

15:14c

and he began to be in need.

and he began to be in need: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as he began to be in need indicates that the younger son no longer had any money. He could not buy food, so he began to go hungry. Other ways to translate this clause are:

Soon he had nothing to eat. (CEV)

He had nothing to live on. (GW)

he began to starve (NLT)

uW Translation Notes:

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: δαπανήσαντος Δέ αὐτοῦ παντᾶ ἐγένετο λιμός ἰσχυρά κατά τήν χώραν ἐκείνην καί αὐτός ἤρξατο ὑστερεῖσθαι)

Jesus uses the word Andto introduce background information that will help his listeners understand what happens next in the parable. Alternate translation: [Now]

ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἰσχυρὰ κατὰ τὴν χώραν ἐκείνην

˱there˲_became (Some words not found in SR-GNT: δαπανήσαντος Δέ αὐτοῦ παντᾶ ἐγένετο λιμός ἰσχυρά κατά τήν χώραν ἐκείνην καί αὐτός ἤρξατο ὑστερεῖσθαι)

Alternate translation: [something happened so that the entire country did not have enough food]

ὑστερεῖσθαι

˓to_be_being˒_deficient

Alternate translation: [to lack what he needed] or [not to have enough to live on]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

15:1-32 Chapter 15 contains three related parables of things lost and found: a sheep (15:1-7), a coin (15:8-10), and a son (15:11-32). The loss of something loved causes deep sorrow, whereas finding it brings great joy. There is great rejoicing in heaven when lost sinners return to their heavenly Father.
