迷羊的比喻

15 當時,稅吏和罪人都接近耶穌,聽他講說。 法利賽人和經文士抱怨,說:「這個人歡迎罪人,又與他們一起吃飯。」

於是耶穌對他們講了這個比喻: 「你們當中的哪一個人擁有一百隻羊,而丟失其中的一隻,就不會把九十九隻留在曠野,去找那一隻丟失的,直到找到了牠呢? 一旦找到了,他就快快樂樂地扛在自己的肩上, 回到家裡請朋友和鄰居來,對他們說:『你們與我一同歡樂吧,因為我找到了那隻丟失的羊。』 我告訴你們:同樣,一個罪人的悔改,比九十九個不需要悔改的義人,會讓天上更有喜樂。

失錢的比喻

「或者,如果一個婦人有十個銀幣[a],丟失了一個,難道她不點上油燈,打掃屋子,仔細尋找,直到找到了它嗎? 一旦找到了,她就會請朋友和鄰居來,說:『你們與我一同歡樂吧,因為我找到了那個丟失的銀幣[b]。』 10 同樣,我告訴你們:一個罪人的悔改,會讓神的天使們面前有喜樂。」

浪子的比喻

11 耶穌又說:「某人有兩個兒子。 12 小兒子對父親說:『父親,請把我應得的那份家產給我。』父親就把財產分給兩個兒子。 13 沒過幾天,那小兒子就收拾了一切,往一個遙遠的地方去旅行了。他在那裡過著放蕩的生活,揮霍他的錢財。 14 當他花盡了自己的一切,那地方又發生了嚴重的饑荒,他就開始窮困起來。 15 於是他去投靠當地的一個居民,那人打發他到自己的田裡去放豬。 16 他就是渴望拿豬吃的豆莢來充飢[c],也沒有人給他。 17 可是他醒悟過來的時候,就說:『我父親那麼多的雇工都食物充足,我卻要在這裡餓死[d]嗎? 18 我要起來,到我父親那裡去,對他說:『父親,我對天犯了罪,也在你面前犯了罪。 19 我再也不配稱為你的兒子,請把我當做你的一個雇工吧。』 20 於是他起來往自己的父親那裡去。他離得還遠的時候,他父親就看到他,動了憐憫之心,跑上去摟住他的脖子親吻他。 21 兒子說:『父親,我對天犯了罪,也在你面前犯了罪。我再也不配稱為你的兒子。』

22 「父親卻對奴僕們說:『趕快[e]把那最好的袍子拿來給他穿上,把戒指戴在他手上,把鞋子穿在他腳上, 23 把那隻養肥的牛犢牽來宰殺了,讓我們吃喝、慶祝吧! 24 因為我這個兒子是死而復生、失而復得的。』於是他們開始慶祝。

25 「那時,大兒子正在田裡。當他往回走,快到家的時候,聽見音樂和跳舞的聲音, 26 就叫來一個僕人,問這些到底是什麼事。 27 僕人對他說:『你弟弟[f]回來了。你父親因他平安無恙地回來,就宰殺了那隻養肥的牛犢。』

28 「大兒子發怒,不肯進去,他父親就出來勸[g]他。 29 他回答父親,說:『你看,我服事你這麼多年,從來沒有違背過你的命令,可是你從來沒有給過我一隻小山羊,好讓我與朋友們一同慶祝。 30 而你這個兒子,這個與妓女們一起吞盡了你財產的,他一來了,你就為他宰殺了養肥的牛犢!』

31 「父親對他說:『孩子啊,你一直與我在一起,我的一切都是你的。 32 現在,我們應該慶祝、歡喜,因為你這個弟弟是死而復生、失而復得的。』」

The Parable of the Lost Sheep(A)

15 Now the tax collectors(B) and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”(C)

Then Jesus told them this parable:(D) “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?(E) And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’(F) I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.(G)

The Parable of the Lost Coin

“Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.’(H) 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”(I)

The Parable of the Lost Son

11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons.(J) 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’(K) So he divided his property(L) between them.

13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth(M) in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.(N) 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned(O) against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.(P)

21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.(Q) I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe(R) and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger(S) and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again;(T) he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.(U)

25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

28 “The older brother became angry(V) and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property(W) with prostitutes(X) comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”(Y)

31 「父親對他說:『孩子啊,你一直與我在一起,我的一切都是你的。 32 現在,我們應該慶祝、歡喜,因為你這個弟弟是死而復生、失而復得的。』」
