And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This one accepts sinners and eats with them.”

Y murmuraban los Fariseos y los escribas, diciendo: Este á los pecadores recibe, y con ellos come.

And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”

And he told this parable to them, saying:

Y él les propuso esta parábola, diciendo:

And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

He told them this parable:

“What man among you, who has one hundred sheep, and if he will have lost one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the one whom he had lost, 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?

What 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?

“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?

And when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

Y hallada, la pone sobre sus hombros gozoso;

And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

And returning home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them: ‘Congratulate me! For I have found my sheep, which had been lost.’

Y viniendo á casa, junta á los amigos y á los vecinos, diciéndoles: Dadme el parabién, porque he hallado mi oveja que se había perdido.

And 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.

When 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!’

I say to you, that there will be so much more joy in heaven over one sinner repenting, than over the ninety-nine just, 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.

I 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.

I 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.

Or what woman, having ten drachmas, if she will have lost one drachma, would not light a candle, and sweep the house, and diligently search until she finds 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 hallarla?

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?

“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?

And when 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.’

Y cuando la hubiere hallado, junta las amigas y las vecinas, diciendo: Dadme el parabién, porque he hallado la dracma que había perdido.

And 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.

When 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!’

So I say to you, there will be joy before the Angels of God over even one sinner who is repentant.”

Así os digo que hay gozo delante de los ángeles de Dios por un pecador que se arrepiente.

Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”

And after not many days, the younger son, gathering it all together, set out on a long journey to a distant region. And there, he dissipated his substance, living in luxury.

And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.

And returning to his senses, he said: ‘How many hired hands in my father’s house have abundant bread, while I perish here in famine!

Y volviendo en sí, dijo: ¡Cuántos jornaleros en casa de mi padre tienen abundancia de pan, y yo aquí perezco de hambre!

And 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!

But 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!

I shall rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.

Me levantaré, é iré á mi padre, y le diré: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo, y contra ti;

I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.

I am not worthy to be called your son. Make me one of your hired hands.’

Ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo; hazme como á uno de tus jornaleros.

And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’

And 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.

The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

But the father said to his servants: ‘Quickly! Bring out the best robe, and clothe him with it. And put a ring on his hand and shoes 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 pies.

Y traed el becerro grueso, y matadlo, y comamos, y hagamos fiesta:

And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;

And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’

Then he became indignant, and he was unwilling to enter. Therefore, his father, going out, began to plead with him.

Entonces se enojó, y no quería entrar. Salió por tanto su padre, y le rogaba que entrase.

And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

And in response, he said to his father: ‘Behold, I have been serving you for so many years. And I have never transgressed your commandment. And yet, you have never given me even a young goat, so that I might feast with my friends.

Mas 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:

And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

“He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.

Mas era menester hacer fiesta y holgarnos, porque este tu hermano muerto era, y ha revivido; habíase perdido, y es hallado.
