浪子的比喻

11 耶稣又说:“一个人有两个儿子。 12 小儿子对父亲说:‘父亲,请你把我应得的家业分给我。’他父亲就把财产分给他们。 13 过了不多几天,小儿子把他一切所有的都收拾起来,往远方去了。在那里,他任意放荡,浪费钱财。 14 他耗尽了一切所有的,又恰逢那地方有大饥荒,就穷困起来。 15 于是他去投靠当地的一个居民,那人打发他到田里去放猪。 16 他恨不得拿猪所吃的豆荚充饥,也没有人给他什么吃的。 17 他醒悟过来,就说:‘我父亲有多少雇工,粮食有余,我倒在这里饿死吗? 18 我要起来,到我父亲那里去,对他说:父亲!我得罪了天,又得罪了你, 19 从今以后,我不配称为你的儿子,把我当作一个雇工吧。’ 20 于是他起来,往他父亲那里去。相离还远,他父亲看见,就动了慈心,跑去拥抱着他,连连亲他。 21 儿子对他说:‘父亲!我得罪了天,又得罪了你,从今以后,我不配称为你的儿子。’ 22 父亲却吩咐仆人:‘快把那上好的袍子拿出来给他穿,把戒指戴在他指头上,把鞋穿在他脚上, 23 把那肥牛犊牵来宰了,我们来吃喝庆祝; 24 因为我这个儿子是死而复活,失而复得的。’他们就开始庆祝。

25 “那时,大儿子正在田里。他回来,离家不远时,听见奏乐跳舞的声音, 26 就叫一个僮仆来,问是什么事。 27 僮仆对他说:‘你弟弟回来了,你父亲因为他无灾无病地回来,把肥牛犊宰了。’ 28 大儿子就生气,不肯进去,他父亲出来劝他。 29 他对父亲说:‘你看,我服侍你这么多年,从来没有违背过你的命令,而你从来没有给我一只小山羊,叫我和朋友们一同快乐。 30 但你这个儿子和娼妓吃光了你的财产,他一回来,你倒为他宰了肥牛犊。’ 31 父亲对他说:‘儿啊!你常和我同在,我所有的一切都是你的; 32 可是你这个弟弟是死而复活,失而复得的,所以我们理当欢喜庆祝。’”

11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:

12 And 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.

13 And 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.

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

15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

17 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!

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

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

20 And 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.

21 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.

22 But 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:

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

24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

27 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.

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

29 And 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:

30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

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

32 It 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.
