路加福音 15
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
迷失的羊
15 許多稅吏和罪人都來聽耶穌講道, 2 法利賽人和律法教師埋怨說:「這個人竟和罪人來往,還跟他們一起吃飯。」
3 耶穌給他們講了一個比喻: 4 「如果你們有人有一百隻羊,走失了一隻,難道他不暫時把那九十九隻留在草場上,去找那隻迷失的羊,一直到找著為止嗎? 5 他找到後,會歡歡喜喜地把那隻羊扛回家, 6 並邀來朋友鄰居,說,『我走失的羊找到了,來和我一同慶祝吧!』 7 我告訴你們,同樣,一個罪人悔改,在天上也要這樣為他歡喜,甚至比有九十九個不用悔改的義人還歡喜。
丟錢的比喻
8 「又比如一個婦人有十塊錢,不小心弄丟了一塊,難道她不點亮燈,打掃房子,仔細尋找一直到找著為止嗎? 9 她找到後,會邀朋友鄰居來,說,『我丟的錢找到了,來和我一同慶祝吧!』 10 我告訴你們,同樣,一個罪人悔改,上帝的眾天使也會這樣為他歡喜。」
浪子回頭
11 耶穌又說:「某人有兩個兒子。 12 小兒子對父親說,『父親,請你把我應得的家產分給我。』父親就把財產分給了兩個兒子。
13 「沒過幾天,小兒子帶著他所有的財物出門遠遊去了。他終日在外花天酒地,揮金如土, 14 很快囊空如洗,又遇到嚴重的饑荒,就陷入困境, 15 只好投靠一個當地人。那人派他到田裡去放豬, 16 他餓到恨不得拿餵豬的豆莢充饑,可是連這些也沒有人給他。 17 最後,他醒悟過來,心想,『在我父親家裡,連僱工的口糧都綽綽有餘,我現在卻要在這裡餓死嗎? 18 我要動身回到我父親身邊,對他說,父親,我得罪了天,也得罪了你, 19 今後,我再也不配作你的兒子,請把我當作僱工看待吧。』 20 於是他動身回家。
「他父親遠遠地看見他,就動了慈心,跑上前去抱著他連連親吻。 21 小兒子說,『父親,我得罪了天,也得罪了你,今後,我再也不配作你的兒子。』
22 「父親卻對奴僕說,『趕快拿最好的袍子來給他穿上,給他戴上戒指,穿上鞋, 23 把那隻肥牛犢牽來宰了,讓我們一同歡宴慶祝! 24 因我這兒子是死而復活、失而復得的。』於是他們歡宴慶祝。
25 「那時,大兒子正在田間。當他回來還沒到門口,就聽見家裡傳出奏樂跳舞的聲音。 26 他叫來一個奴僕問個究竟。
27 「奴僕回答說,『你弟弟回來了!你父親因他無災無難地回來,特地宰了那隻肥牛犢。』 28 大兒子很生氣,不肯進去。父親就出來勸他。
29 「他對父親說,『你看,我伺候你這麼多年,從來沒有違背過你的命令,可是你沒有給過我一隻羊羔,讓我和朋友一同歡宴。 30 但你這個兒子在娼妓身上耗盡家財,一回來,你倒為他宰了肥牛犢!』
31 「父親對他說,『孩子啊!你一直在我身邊,我所有的一切都是你的。 32 可是你弟弟是死而復活、失而復得的,所以我們應該歡喜快樂。』」

Con Chiên Lạc
(Mat 18:12-14)
15 Khi ấy tất cả những người thu thuế và những kẻ tội lỗi đến gần Ngài để nghe Ngài giảng dạy. 2 Thấy vậy những người Pha-ri-si và các thầy dạy giáo luật lầm bầm rằng, “Người này tiếp những kẻ tội lỗi và ăn uống với chúng.” 3 Vì vậy Ngài kể cho họ ngụ ngôn này:
4 “Ai trong các ngươi có một trăm con chiên, nếu bị mất một con, mà không để chín mươi chín con kia trong đồng, và đi tìm con bị mất cho đến khi tìm được chăng? 5 Khi đã tìm được rồi, người ấy vui mừng vác nó lên vai mang về. 6 Khi về đến nhà, người ấy mời bạn bè và láng giềng đến và nói, ‘Xin chung vui với tôi, vì tôi đã tìm được con chiên bị mất.’
7 Cũng vậy, Ta nói với các ngươi, trên thiên đàng sẽ vui mừng về một người tội lỗi ăn năn hơn về chín mươi chín người ngay lành không cần ăn năn.”
Ðồng Bạc Mất
8 “Hoặc có người phụ nữ nào có mười đồng bạc, [a] nếu bị mất một đồng mà lại không thắp đèn, quét nhà, và tìm kiếm kỹ càng cho đến khi tìm được chăng? 9 Khi đã tìm được rồi, người ấy mời bạn bè và láng giềng đến và nói, ‘Xin chung vui với tôi, vì tôi đã tìm được đồng bạc bị mất.’
10 Cũng vậy, Ta nói với các ngươi, sẽ có vui mừng trước mặt các thiên sứ của Ðức Chúa Trời về một người tội lỗi ăn năn.”
Ðứa Con Phóng Ðãng
11 Ngài lại nói, “Một người kia có hai con trai. 12 Người con thứ nói với cha, ‘Thưa cha, xin cha cho con phần gia tài sẽ thuộc về con.’ Người cha chia gia tài cho hai con. 13 Chẳng bao lâu sau đó, người con thứ tóm thâu tất cả những gì thuộc về mình và lên đường đi phương xa. Ở đó anh tiêu xài phung phí tài sản của mình và sống rất phóng đãng. 14 Sau khi anh đã tiêu sạch mọi sự mình có, cả xứ gặp phải một nạn đói rất trầm trọng, và anh bắt đầu lâm vào cảnh túng thiếu. 15 Anh xin đi làm thuê cho một người bản xứ. Người ấy sai anh ra đồng chăn heo. 16 Anh ao ước được lấy vỏ đậu của heo ăn để ăn cho no, nhưng người ta không cho. 17 Bấy giờ anh mới giác ngộ và nói, ‘Bao nhiêu người làm thuê ở nhà cha ta có cơm bánh ăn không hết, còn ta ở đây lại bị chết đói thể này.’ 18 Ta sẽ đứng dậy, trở về với cha ta, và thưa với cha ta rằng, ‘Thưa cha, con đã phạm tội với Trời và với cha. 19 Con không xứng đáng được gọi là con của cha nữa. Xin cha cho con được như một người làm thuê của cha.’
20 Ðoạn anh đứng dậy và trở về với cha anh. Trong khi anh còn ở đàng xa, người cha đã trông thấy và động lòng thương xót. Ông chạy đến ôm lấy anh và hôn anh. 21 Người con nói với ông, ‘Thưa cha, con đã phạm tội với Trời và với cha. Con không xứng đáng được gọi là con của cha nữa.’ 22 Nhưng người cha bảo các đầy tớ của ông, ‘Hãy mau mau lấy áo choàng tốt nhất mặc cho cậu, hãy đeo nhẫn vào ngón tay cậu, hãy lấy giày mang vào chân cậu, 23 và hãy bắt một bò con mập làm thịt để chúng ta ăn mừng, 24 vì con của tôi đây tưởng đã chết mà bây giờ còn sống, tưởng đã mất mà bây giờ đã tìm lại được.’ Thế là họ bắt đầu ăn mừng.
25 Lúc ấy người con cả của ông đang ở ngoài đồng. Khi anh về gần đến nhà và nghe có tiếng đàn ca nhảy múa, 26 anh gọi một đầy tớ đến và hỏi xem trong nhà có chuyện gì. 27 Người ấy đáp, ‘Em cậu vừa trở về. Cha cậu đã bắt bò con mập làm thịt, vì thấy cậu ấy trở về bình an mạnh khỏe.’ 28 Người con cả liền nổi giận và không chịu vào nhà; vì thế cha anh đi ra và khuyên anh. 29 Nhưng anh trả lời và nói với cha anh, ‘Cha xem đó, bao nhiêu năm nay con phục vụ cha, con không bao giờ làm trái lệnh cha, nhưng chưa bao giờ cha cho con một con dê con để con vui vẻ với bạn bè. 30 Nhưng khi thằng con ấy của cha, đứa đã phung phí gia tài của cha với phường đĩ điếm, trở về thì cha làm thịt bò con mập ăn mừng!’
31 Nhưng người cha nói với anh, ‘Con ơi, con luôn luôn ở với cha. Tất cả những gì của cha là của con. 32 Nhưng bây giờ chúng ta nên làm tiệc ăn mừng và vui vẻ, vì em con đây đã chết mà bây giờ lại sống, đã mất mà bây giờ đã tìm lại được.’”

New International Version
The Parable of the Lost Sheep(A)
15 Now the tax collectors(B) and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”(C)
3 Then Jesus told them this parable:(D) 4 “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) 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’(F) 7 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
8 “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? 9 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)

Contemporary English Version
One Sheep
(Matthew 18.12-14)
15 (A) Tax collectors[a] and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. 2 So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, “This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.”
3 Then Jesus told them this story:
4 If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? 5 And when you find it, you will be so glad that you will put it on your shoulder 6 and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, “Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.”
7 Jesus said, “In the same way there is more happiness in heaven because of one sinner who turns to God than over 99 good people who don't need to.”
One Coin
8 Jesus told the people another story:
What will a woman do if she has ten silver coins and loses one of them? Won't she light a lamp, sweep the floor, and look carefully until she finds it? 9 Then she will call in her friends and neighbors and say, “Let's celebrate! I've found the coin I lost.”
10 Jesus said, “In the same way God's angels are happy when even one person turns to him.”
Two Sons
11 Jesus told them yet another story:
Once a man had two sons. 12 The younger son said to his father, “Give me my share of the property.” So the father divided his property between his two sons.
13 Not long after that, the younger son packed up everything he owned and left for a foreign country, where he wasted all his money in wild living. 14 He had spent everything, when a bad famine spread through that whole land. Soon he had nothing to eat.
15 He went to work for a man in that country, and the man sent him out to take care of his pigs.[b] 16 He would have been glad to eat what the pigs were eating,[c] but no one gave him a thing.
17 Finally, he came to his senses and said, “My father's workers have plenty to eat, and here I am, starving to death! 18 I will go to my father and say to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against God in heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer good enough to be called your son. Treat me like one of your workers.’ ”
20 The younger son got up and started back to his father. But when he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt sorry for him. He ran to his son and hugged and kissed him.
21 The son said, “Father, I have sinned against God in heaven and against you. I am no longer good enough to be called your son.”
22 But his father said to the servants, “Hurry and bring the best clothes and put them on him. Give him a ring for his finger and sandals[d] for his feet. 23 Get the best calf and prepare it, so we can eat and celebrate. 24 This son of mine was dead, but has now come back to life. He was lost and has now been found.” And they began to celebrate.
25 The older son had been out in the field. But when he came near the house, he heard the music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants over and asked, “What's going on here?”
27 The servant answered, “Your brother has come home safe and sound, and your father ordered us to kill the best calf.” 28 The older brother got so angry that he would not even go into the house.
His father came out and begged him to go in. 29 But he said to his father, “For years I have worked for you like a slave and have always obeyed you. But you have never even given me a little goat, so that I could give a dinner for my friends. 30 This other son of yours wasted your money on prostitutes. And now that he has come home, you ordered the best calf to be killed for a feast.”
31 His father replied, “My son, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we should be glad and celebrate! Your brother was dead, but he is now alive. He was lost and has now been found.”
Footnotes
- 15.1 Tax collectors: See the note at 3.12.
- 15.15 pigs: The Jewish religion taught that pigs were not fit to eat or even to touch. A Jewish man would have felt terribly insulted if he had to feed pigs, much less eat with them.
- 15.16 what the pigs were eating: The Greek text has “(bean) pods,” which came from a tree in Palestine. These were used to feed animals. Poor people sometimes ate them too.
- 15.22 ring … sandals: These show that the young man's father fully accepted him as his son. A ring was a sign of high position in the family. Sandals showed that he was a son instead of a slave, since slaves did not usually wear sandals.
