Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
1Erant autem appropinquantes ei publicani, et peccatores ut audirent illum.
2And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
2Et murmurabant pharisæi, et scribæ, dicentes: Quia hic peccatores recipit, et manducat cum illis.
3¶ And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
3Et ait ad illos parabolam istam dicens:
4What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
4Quis ex vobis homo, qui habet centum oves, et si perdiderit unam ex illis, nonne dimittit nonaginta novem in deserto, et vadit ad illam quæ perierat, donec inveniat eam?
5And when he hath found it , he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
5Et cum invenerit eam, imponit in humeros suos gaudens:
6And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
6et veniens domum convocat amicos et vicinos, dicens illis: Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni ovem meam, quæ perierat.
7I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
7Dico vobis quod ita gaudium erit in cælo super uno peccatore pœnitentiam agente, quam super nonaginta novem justis, qui non indigent pœnitentia.
8¶ Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it ?
8Aut quæ mulier habens drachmas decem, si perdiderit drachmam unam, nonne accendit lucernam, et everrit domum, et quærit diligenter, donec inveniat?
9And when she hath found it , she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
9Et cum invenerit convocat amicas et vicinas, dicens: Congratulamini mihi, quia inveni drachmam quam perdideram.
10Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
10Ita, dico vobis, gaudium erit coram angelis Dei super uno peccatore pœnitentiam agente.
11¶ And he said, A certain man had two sons:
11Ait autem: Homo quidam habuit duos filios:
12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me . And he divided unto them his living.
12et dixit adolescentior ex illis patri: Pater, da mihi portionem substantiæ, quæ me contingit. Et divisit illis substantiam.
13And 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.
13Et non post multos dies, congregatis omnibus, adolescentior filius peregre profectus est in regionem longinquam, et ibi dissipavit substantiam suam vivendo luxuriose.
14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
14Et postquam omnia consummasset, facta est fames valida in regione illa, et ipse cœpit egere.
15And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
15Et abiit, et adhæsit uni civium regionis illius: et misit illum in villam suam ut pasceret porcos.
16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
16Et cupiebat implere ventrem suum de siliquis, quas porci manducabant: et nemo illi dabat.
17And 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!
17In se autem reversus, dixit: Quanti mercenarii in domo patris mei abundant panibus, ego autem hic fame pereo !
18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
18surgam, et ibo ad patrem meum, et dicam ei: Pater, peccavi in cælum, et coram te:
19And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
19jam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus: fac me sicut unum de mercenariis tuis.
20And 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.
20Et surgens venit ad patrem suum. Cum autem adhuc longe esset, vidit illum pater ipsius, et misericordia motus est, et accurrens cecidit super collum ejus, et osculatus est eum.
21And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
21Dixitque ei filius: Pater, peccavi in cælum, et coram te: jam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus.
22But 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:
22Dixit autem pater ad servos suos: Cito proferte stolam primam, et induite illum, et date annulum in manum ejus, et calceamenta in pedes ejus:
23And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it ; and let us eat, and be merry:
23et adducite vitulum saginatum, et occidite, et manducemus, et epulemur:
24For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
24quia hic filius meus mortuus erat, et revixit: perierat, et inventus est. Et cœperunt epulari.
25Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
25Erat autem filius ejus senior in agro: et cum veniret, et appropinquaret domui, audivit symphoniam et chorum:
26And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
26et vocavit unum de servis, et interrogavit quid hæc essent.
27And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
27Isque dixit illi: Frater tuus venit, et occidit pater tuus vitulum saginatum, quia salvum illum recepit.
28And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
28Indignatus est autem, et nolebat introire. Pater ergo illius egressus, cœpit rogare illum.
29And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
29At ille respondens, dixit patri suo: Ecce tot annis servio tibi, et numquam mandatum tuum præterivi: et numquam dedisti mihi hædum ut cum amicis meis epularer.
30But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
30Sed postquam filius tuus hic, qui devoravit substantiam suam cum meretricibus, venit, occidisti illi vitulum saginatum.
31And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
31At ipse dixit illi: Fili, tu semper mecum es, et omnia mea tua sunt:
32It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
32epulari autem, et gaudere oportebat, quia frater tuus hic mortuus erat, et revixit; perierat, et inventus est.
