Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and other sinners were coming to Jesus to listen to him.
Y SE llegaban á él todos los publicanos y pecadores á oirle.
2 Both the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled to each other, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and even eats with them.”
Y murmuraban los Fariséos y los escribas, diciendo: Este á los pecadores recibe, y con ellos come.
3 Jesus spoke this parable to them, saying,
Y él les propuso esta parábola, diciendo:
4 “Which one of you, if he has a hundred sheep and then loses one of them, will not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the lost one until he finds 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 Then when he has found it, he lays it across his shoulders and rejoices.
Y hallada, [la] pone sobre sus hombros gozoso;
6 When he comes to the house, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.'
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 even so, there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
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 Or what woman who has ten silver coins, if she were to lose one coin, would not light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she has found 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 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I 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 Even so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Así os digo que hay gozo delante de los ángeles de Dios por un pecador que se arrepiente.
11 Then Jesus 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 the wealth that falls to me.' So he divided his property between them.
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 Not many days later, the younger son gathered together all he owned and went to a country far away, and there he wasted all his wealth by living recklessly.
Y no muchos dias despues, juntándolo todo el hijo menor, partió lejos á una provincia apartada, y allí desperdició su hacienda viviendo perdidamente.
14 Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine spread through that country, and he began to be in need.
Y cuando todo lo hubo malgastado, vino una grande hambre en aquella provincia, y comenzóle á faltar.
15 He went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
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 He would gladly have eaten the carob pods that the pigs ate, because no one gave him anything.
Y deseaba henchir su vientre de las algarrobas que comian los puercos; mas nadie se [las] daba.
17 But when the young son came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough food, and I am here, dying from 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 leave here and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
Me levantaré, é iré á mi padre, y le diré: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo, y contra tí;
19 I am no longer 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 So the young son left and came toward his father. While he was still far away, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and he ran and embraced him 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 The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer 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 The father said to his servants, 'Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and sandals 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 Then bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us celebrate with a feast!
Y traed el becerro grueso, y matad[lo, ] y comamos, y hagamos fiesta.
24 For my son was dead, and now he is alive. He was lost, and now he is found.' Then they began to celebrate.
Porque este mi hijo muerto era, y ha revivido; habíase perdido, y es hallado. Y comenzaron á regocijarse.
25 Now his older son was out in the field. As he came and approached 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 He called to one of the servants and asked what these things might be.
Y llamando uno de los criados, preguntóle qué era aquello.
27 The servant said to him, 'Your brother has come home and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has returned safely.'
Y él le dijo: Tu hermano ha venido; y tu padre ha muerto el becerro grueso, por haberle recibido salvo.
28 The older son was angry and would not go in, and his father came out and begged him.
Entónces [él] se enojó, y no queria entrar. Salió por tanto su padre, y le rogaba [que entrase.]
29 But the older son answered and said to his father, 'Look, these many years I slaved for you, and I never broke a rule of yours, and yet you never gave me a young goat that I might celebrate 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 when your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed for him the fattened calf.'
Mas cuando vino este tu hijo, que ha consumido tu hacienda con rameras has matado para él el becerro grueso.
31 The father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
El entónces le dijo: Hijo, tú siempre estás conmigo, y todas mis cosas son tuyas.
32 But it was proper for us to feast and be happy, for this brother of yours was dead, and is now alive; he was lost, and has now been found.'”
Mas era menester hacer fiesta y holgar[nos, ] porque este tu hermano muerto era, y ha revivido; habíase perdido, y es hallado.
