Luke 15
1 Then drew near to him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
Y SE llegaban á él todos los publicanos y pecadores á oirle.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receives sinners, and eats with them.
Y murmuraban los Fariséos y los escribas, diciendo: Este á los pecadores recibe, y con ellos come.
3 And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
Y él les propuso esta parábola, diciendo:
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
¿Qué hombre de vosotros, teniendo cien ovejas, si perdiere una de ellas, no deja las noventa y nueve en el desierto, y va á la que se perdió, hasta que la halle?
5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Y hallada, [la] pone sobre sus hombros gozoso;
6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
Y viniendo á casa junta á los amigos y á los vecinos, diciéndoles: Dadme el parabien: porque he hallado mi oveja que se habia perdido.
7 I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Os digo, que así habrá [más] gozo en el cielo de un pecador que se arrepiente, que de noventa y nueve justos, que no necesitan arrepentimiento.
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, does not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
¿O qué mujer que tiene diez dracmas, si perdiere una dracma, no enciende el candil y barre la casa. y busca con diligencia hasta hallar[la?]
9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
Y cuando [la] hubiere hallado, junta las amigas y las vecinas, diciendo: Dadme el parabien, porque he hallado la dracma que habia perdido.
10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.
Así os digo que hay gozo delante de los ángeles de Dios por un pecador que se arrepiente.
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Y dijo: Un hombre tenia dos hijos;
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his living.
Y el menor de ellos dijo á su padre: Padre, dáme la parte de la hacienda que [me] pertenece: y [él] les repartió la hacienda.
13 And 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.
Y no muchos dias despues, juntándolo todo el hijo menor, partió lejos á una provincia apartada, y allí desperdició su hacienda viviendo perdidamente.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
Y cuando todo lo hubo malgastado, vino una grande hambre en aquella provincia, y comenzóle á faltar.
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Y fué, y se llegó á uno de los ciudadanos de aquella tierra, el cual le envió á su hacienda para que apacentase los puercos.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave to him.
Y deseaba henchir su vientre de las algarrobas que comian los puercos; mas nadie se [las] daba.
17 And 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!
Y volviendo en sí, dijo: ¡Cuántos jornaleros en casa de mi padre tienen abundancia de pan, y yo aquí perezco de hambre!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you,
Me levantaré, é iré á mi padre, y le diré: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo, y contra tí;
19 And am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants.
Ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo; hazme como á uno de tus jornaleros.
20 And 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.
Y levantándose, vino á su padre. Y como aun estuviese lejos, viólo su padre, y fué movido á misericordia, y corrió, y echóse sobre su cuello, y besóle.
21 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and am no more worthy to be called your son.
Y el hijo le dijo: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo, y contra tí, y ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo.
22 But 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:
Mas el padre dijo á sus siervos: Sacad el principal vestido, y vestidle, y poned un anillo en su mano, y zapatos en sus piés;
23 And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
Y traed el becerro grueso, y matad[lo, ] y comamos, y hagamos fiesta.
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Porque este mi hijo muerto era, y ha revivido; habíase perdido, y es hallado. Y comenzaron á regocijarse.
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Y su hijo el mayor estaba en el campo; el cual como vino, y llegó cerca de casa, oyó la sinfonía y las danzas;
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
Y llamando uno de los criados, preguntóle qué era aquello.
27 And he said to him, Your brother is come; and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound.
Y él le dijo: Tu hermano ha venido; y tu padre ha muerto el becerro grueso, por haberle recibido salvo.
28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him.
Entónces [él] se enojó, y no queria entrar. Salió por tanto su padre, y le rogaba [que entrase.]
29 And he answering said to his father, See, these many years do I serve you, neither transgressed I at any time your commandment: and yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
Mas él respondiendo, dijo al padre: Hé aquí, tantos años [há que] te sirvo, no habiendo traspasado jamás tu mandamiento, y nunca me has dado un cabrito para gozarme con mis amigos.
30 But as soon as this your son was come, which has devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf.
Mas cuando vino este tu hijo, que ha consumido tu hacienda con rameras has matado para él el becerro grueso.
31 And he said to him, Son, you are ever with me, and all that I have is yours.
El entónces le dijo: Hijo, tú siempre estás conmigo, y todas mis cosas son tuyas.
32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this your brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
Mas era menester hacer fiesta y holgar[nos, ] porque este tu hermano muerto era, y ha revivido; habíase perdido, y es hallado.
