This metaphor speaks of the brother being gone as if he were dead. See how you translated this phrase in [Luke 15:24](../15/24.md). Alternate translation: "it was as if this brother of yours were dead and became alive again" or "this brother of yours had died, but he is now alive" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

This metaphor speaks of the son being gone as if he were lost. See how you translated this phrase in [Luke 15:24](../15/24.md). Alternate translation: "it is as if he were lost and now I found him" or "he was lost and has returned home" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
