1Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him.
1Y SE llegaban á él todos los publicanos y pecadores á oirle.
2And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
2Y murmuraban los Fariseos y los escribas, diciendo: Este á los pecadores recibe, y con ellos come.
3And he spoke to them this parable, saying:
3Y él les propuso esta parábola, diciendo:
4What man of you that hath an hundred sheep: and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which was lost, until he find it?
4¿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?
5And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing:
5Y hallada, la pone sobre sus hombros gozoso;
6And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost?
6Y viniendo á casa, junta á los amigos y á los vecinos, diciéndoles: Dadme el parabién, porque he hallado mi oveja que se había perdido.
7I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.
7Os 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.
8Or what woman having ten groats; if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?
8¿O qué mujer que tiene diez dracmas, si perdiere una dracma, no enciende el candil, y barre la casa, y busca con diligencia hasta hallarla?
9And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost.
9Y cuando la hubiere hallado, junta las amigas y las vecinas, diciendo: Dadme el parabién, porque he hallado la dracma que había perdido.
10So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.
10Así os digo que hay gozo delante de los ángeles de Dios por un pecador que se arrepiente.
11And he said: A certain man had two sons:
11Y dijo: Un hombre tenía dos hijos;
12And the younger of them said to his father: Father, give me the portion of substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his substance.
12Y el menor de ellos dijo á su padre: Padre, dame la parte de la hacienda que me pertenece: y les repartió la hacienda.
13And not many days after, the younger son, gathering all together, went abroad into a far country: and there wasted his substance, living riotously.
13Y no muchos días después, juntándolo todo el hijo menor, partió lejos á una provincia apartada; y allí desperdició su hacienda viviendo perdidamente.
14And after he had spent all, there came a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
14Y cuando todo lo hubo malgastado, vino una grande hambre en aquella provincia, y comenzóle á faltar.
15And he went and cleaved to one of the citizens of that country. And he sent him into his farm to feed swine.
15Y fué y se llegó á uno de los ciudadanos de aquella tierra, el cual le envió á su hacienda para que apacentase los puercos.
16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him.
16Y deseaba henchir su vientre de las algarrobas que comían los puercos; mas nadie se las daba.
17And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my father’s house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger?
17Y volviendo en sí, dijo: ¡Cuántos jornaleros en casa de mi padre tienen abundancia de pan, y yo aquí perezco de hambre!
18I will arise, and will go to my father, and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee:
18Me levantaré, é iré á mi padre, y le diré: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo, y contra ti;
19I am not worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
19Ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo; hazme como á uno de tus jornaleros.
20And rising up he came to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and running to him fell upon his neck, and kissed him.
20Y 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.
21And the son said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, I am not now worthy to be called thy son.
21Y el hijo le dijo: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo, y contra ti, y ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo.
22And the father said to his servants: Bring forth quickly the first robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
22Mas el padre dijo á sus siervos: Sacad el principal vestido, y vestidle; y poned un anillo en su mano, y zapatos en sus pies.
23And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
23Y traed el becerro grueso, y matadlo, y comamos, y hagamos fiesta:
24Because this my son was dead, and is come to life again: was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
24Porque este mi hijo muerto era, y ha revivido; habíase perdido, y es hallado. Y comenzaron á regocijarse.
25Now his elder son was in the field, and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing:
25Y su hijo el mayor estaba en el campo; el cual como vino, y llegó cerca de casa, oyó la sinfonía y las danzas;
26And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
26Y llamando á uno de los criados, preguntóle qué era aquello.
27And he said to him: Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe.
27Y él le dijo: Tu hermano ha venido; y tu padre ha muerto el becerro grueso, por haberle recibido salvo.
28And he was angry, and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat him.
28Entonces se enojó, y no quería entrar. Salió por tanto su padre, y le rogaba que entrase .
29And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee, and I have never transgressed thy commandment, and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends:
29Mas él respondiendo, dijo al padre: He aquí tantos años te sirvo, no habiendo traspasado jamás tu mandamiento, y nunca me has dado un cabrito para gozarme con mis amigos:
30But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
30Mas cuando vino éste tu hijo, que ha consumido tu hacienda con rameras, has matado para él el becerro grueso.
31But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me, and all I have is thine.
31El entonces le dijo: Hijo, tú siempre estás conmigo, y todas mis cosas son tuyas.
32But it was fit that we should make merry and be glad, for this thy brother was dead and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found.
32Mas era menester hacer fiesta y holgar nos , porque este tu hermano muerto era, y ha revivido; habíase perdido, y es hallado.
