1Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
1Y SE llegaban á él todos los publicanos y pecadores á oirle.
2The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
2Y murmuraban los Fariseos y los escribas, diciendo: Este á los pecadores recibe, y con ellos come.
3He told them this parable:
3Y él les propuso esta parábola, diciendo:
4“Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found 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?
5When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
5Y hallada, la pone sobre sus hombros gozoso;
6When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which 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 tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
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.
8“Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found 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?
9When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma 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.
10Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
10Así os digo que hay gozo delante de los ángeles de Dios por un pecador que se arrepiente.
11He said, “A certain man had two sons.
11Y dijo: Un hombre tenía dos hijos;
12The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
12Y el menor de ellos dijo á su padre: Padre, dame la parte de la hacienda que me pertenece: y les repartió la hacienda.
13Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
13Y no muchos días después, juntándolo todo el hijo menor, partió lejos á una provincia apartada; y allí desperdició su hacienda viviendo perdidamente.
14When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
14Y cuando todo lo hubo malgastado, vino una grande hambre en aquella provincia, y comenzóle á faltar.
15He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
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.
16He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
16Y deseaba henchir su vientre de las algarrobas que comían los puercos; mas nadie se las daba.
17But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying 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 get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
18Me levantaré, é iré á mi padre, y le diré: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo, y contra ti;
19I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
19Ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo; hazme como á uno de tus jornaleros.
20“He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on 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.
21The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your 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.
22“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals 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.
23Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
23Y traed el becerro grueso, y matadlo, y comamos, y hagamos fiesta:
24for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
24Porque 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. As he came near 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;
26He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
26Y llamando á uno de los criados, preguntóle qué era aquello.
27He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
27Y él le dijo: Tu hermano ha venido; y tu padre ha muerto el becerro grueso, por haberle recibido salvo.
28But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
28Entonces se enojó, y no quería entrar. Salió por tanto su padre, y le rogaba que entrase .
29But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate 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 when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
30Mas cuando vino éste tu hijo, que ha consumido tu hacienda con rameras, has matado para él el becerro grueso.
31“He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
31El entonces le dijo: Hijo, tú siempre estás conmigo, y todas mis cosas son tuyas.
32But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive 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.
