SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:1–7: Jesus told a parable about a man looking for his lost sheep

In Luke 15 Jesus welcomed sinful people, and many listened to him. However, the Pharisees criticized Jesus for welcoming people like that. Then Jesus told the three parables in this chapter. Each parable tells about something that was lost and the joy of the one who found it. The things that were lost represent sinful people. They need help to be restored to God. The parables illustrate that God feels great joy when even one sinful person repents and is restored to a good relationship with him. In the Notes each parable will be described in a separate section.

The parable in this section is about a sheep that went away from its shepherd. The sheep did not know how to find the shepherd again. When the shepherd noticed that this one sheep was missing, he searched for it diligently until he found it. He then invited his friends and neighbors to rejoice with him that he had found the lost sheep. Another heading for this section is:

The Lost Sheep (GW)

A shepherd was happy to find his lost sheep

There is a parallel passage for this section in Matthew 18:12–14. However, the context and some of the details are different.

15:5

And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,

And after you^(plur) have found it, you will be very happy, and you will carry it on your shoulders
Then when he finds it, he happily puts it on his shoulders

when he finds it: This clause is very similar to the phrase “until he finds it” in 15:4c. In some languages it may not be natural to repeat the idea of finding the sheep so soon after its mention in the previous verse part. In those languages you may need to leave it implied or use a conjunction like “Then.”

puts it on his shoulders: The shepherd would have carried the sheep by putting it across both his shoulders. Its stomach would be against the back of his neck, with the feet held or tied in front. If your language has a specific verb for carrying an animal in this way, you may use it here. If people in your language area do not carry an animal in this way or your language uses a different word in this context, you may:

Use a more general expression. For example:
picks it up and carries it
Use a natural expression in your language for carrying a sheep. For example:
carries it in his arms

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

καὶ εὑρὼν, ἐπιτίθησιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὤμους αὐτοῦ χαίρων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εὑρών ἐπιτίθησιν ἐπί τούς ὤμους αὐτοῦ χαίρων)

If you decided in the previous verse that your language would continue this parable in the second person, use the second person here as well. Alternate translation: [Once you found it, you would very happily lay it across your shoulders]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπιτίθησιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὤμους αὐτοῦ

˱he˲_˓is˒_laying_on_‹it› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εὑρών ἐπιτίθησιν ἐπί τούς ὤμους αὐτοῦ χαίρων)

This is the way a shepherd carries a sheep. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [he lays it across his shoulders to carry it home]
