Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
1眾稅吏和罪人都挨近耶穌，要聽他 講道 。
2So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
2法利賽人和文士私下議論說：「這個人接待罪人，又同他們吃飯。」
3Then Jesus told them this parable:
3耶穌就用比喻說：
4“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
4「你們中間誰有一百隻羊失去一隻，不把這九十九隻撇在曠野、去找那失去的羊，直到找着呢？
5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
5找着了，就歡歡喜喜地扛在肩上，回到家裏，
6comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
6就請朋友鄰舍來，對他們說：『我失去的羊已經找着了，你們和我一同歡喜吧！』
7In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent.
7我告訴你們，一個罪人悔改，在天上也要這樣為他歡喜，較比為九十九個不用悔改的義人歡喜更大。」
8Or what woman who has ten silver coins and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her house, and search carefully until she finds it?
8「或是一個婦人有十塊錢，若失落一塊，豈不點上燈，打掃屋子，細細地找，直到找着嗎？
9And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’
9找着了，就請朋友鄰舍來，對他們說：『我失落的那塊錢已經找着了，你們和我一同歡喜吧！』
10In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
10我告訴你們，一個罪人悔改，在上帝的使者面前也是這樣為他歡喜。」
11Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
11耶穌又說：「一個人有兩個兒子。
12The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
12小兒子對父親說：『父親，請你把我應得的家業分給我。』他父親就把產業分給他們。
13After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.
13過了不多幾日，小兒子就把他一切所有的都收拾起來，往遠方去了。在那裏任意放蕩，浪費資財。
14After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
14既耗盡了一切所有的，又遇着那地方大遭饑荒，就窮苦起來。
15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
15於是去投靠那地方的一個人；那人打發他到田裏去放豬。
16He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
16他恨不得拿豬所吃的豆莢充飢，也沒有人給他。
17Finally he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food? But here I am, starving to death!
17他醒悟過來，就說：『我父親有多少的雇工，口糧有餘，我倒在這裏餓死嗎？
18I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
18我要起來，到我父親那裏去，向他說：父親！我得罪了天，又得罪了你；
19I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
19從今以後，我不配稱為你的兒子，把我當作一個雇工吧！』
20So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still in the distance, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.
20於是起來，往他父親那裏去。相離還遠，他父親看見，就動了慈心，跑去抱着他的頸項，連連與他親嘴。
21The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
21兒子說：『父親！我得罪了天，又得罪了你；從今以後，我不配稱為你的兒子。』
22But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
22父親卻吩咐僕人說：『把那上好的袍子快拿出來給他穿；把戒指戴在他指頭上；把鞋穿在他腳上；
23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
23把那肥牛犢牽來宰了，我們可以吃喝快樂；
24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
24因為我這個兒子是死而復活，失而又得的。』他們就快樂起來。
25Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
25那時，大兒子正在田裏。他回來，離家不遠，聽見作樂跳舞的聲音，
26So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
26便叫過一個僕人來，問是甚麼事。
27‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’
27僕人說：『你兄弟來了；你父親因為得他無災無病地回來，把肥牛犢宰了。』
28The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
28大兒子卻生氣，不肯進去；他父親就出來勸他。
29But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
29他對父親說：『我服事你這多年，從來沒有違背過你的命，你並沒有給我一隻山羊羔，叫我和朋友一同快樂。
30But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
30但你這個兒子和娼妓吞盡了你的產業，他一來了，你倒為他宰了肥牛犢。』
31‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
31父親對他說：『兒啊！你常和我同在，我一切所有的都是你的；
32But it was fitting to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
32只是你這個兄弟是死而復活、失而又得的，所以我們理當歡喜快樂。』」
