Lucas 15
Biblia del Jubileo
15 ¶ Y se llegaban a él todos los publicanos y pecadores a oírle.
2 Y murmuraban los fariseos y los escribas, diciendo: Este a los pecadores recibe, y con ellos come.
3 Y él les refirió esta parábola, diciendo:
4 ¿Qué hombre de vosotros, teniendo cien ovejas, si perdiere una de ellas, no deja las noventa y nueve en el desierto, y va a la que se perdió, hasta que la halle?
5 Y hallada, la pone sobre sus hombros gozoso;
6 y viniendo a casa, junta a los amigos y a los vecinos, diciéndoles: Regocijad conmigo, porque he hallado mi oveja que se había perdido.
7 Os digo, que así habrá más gozo en el cielo de un pecador que se enmienda, que de noventa y nueve justos, que no tienen necesidad de enmendarse.
8 ¿O qué mujer que tiene diez dracmas, si perdiere una dracma, no enciende la lámpara, y barre la casa, y busca con diligencia hasta hallarla?
9 Y cuando la hubiere hallado, junta las amigas y las vecinas, diciendo: Regocijad conmigo, porque he hallado la dracma que había perdido.
10 Así os digo que hay gozo delante de los ángeles de Dios por un pecador que se enmienda.
11 ¶ Y dijo: Un hombre tenía dos hijos;
12 y el menor de ellos dijo a su padre: Padre, dame la parte de la hacienda que me pertenece; y les repartió su sustento.
13 Y no muchos días después, juntándolo todo el hijo menor, partió lejos a una provincia apartada; y allí desperdició su hacienda viviendo perdidamente.
14 Y cuando todo lo hubo malgastado, vino una gran hambre en aquella provincia, y le comenzó a faltar.
15 Y fue y se llegó a uno de los ciudadanos de aquella tierra, el cual le envió a su hacienda para que apacentara los puercos.
16 Y deseaba llenar su vientre de las algarrobas que comían los puercos; mas nadie se las daba.
17 Y volviendo en sí, dijo: ¡Cuántos jornaleros en casa de mi padre tienen abundancia de pan, y yo aquí perezco de hambre!
18 Me levantaré, e iré a mi padre, y le diré: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo y delante de ti;
19 ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo; hazme como a uno de tus jornaleros.
20 Y levantándose, vino a su padre. Y como aún estuviera lejos, lo vio su padre, y fue movido a misericordia, y corrió, y se echó sobre su cuello, y le besó.
21 Y el hijo le dijo: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo, y delante de ti, y ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo.
22 Mas el padre dijo a sus esclavos: Sacad el principal vestido, y vestidle; y poned un anillo en su mano, y zapatos en sus pies.
23 Y traed el becerro grueso, y matadlo, y comamos, y hagamos banquete;
24 porque éste mi hijo muerto era, y ha revivido; se había perdido, y es hallado. Y comenzaron a hacer banquete.
25 Y su hijo mayor estaba en el campo; el cual cuando vino, y llegó cerca de casa, oyó la sinfonía y las danzas;
26 y llamando a uno de los criados, le preguntó qué era aquello.
27 Y él le dijo: Tu hermano ha venido; y tu padre ha matado el becerro grueso, por haberle recibido salvo.
28 Entonces se enojó, y no quería entrar. Salió por tanto su padre, y le rogaba que entrara.
29 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 hacer banquete con mis amigos;
30 Mas cuando vino éste tu hijo, que ha consumido tu sustento con rameras, has matado para él el becerro grueso.
31 El entonces le dijo: Hijo, tú siempre estás conmigo, y todas mis cosas son tuyas.
32 mas era necesario hacer banquete y regocijarnos, porque éste tu hermano estaba muerto, y ha revivido; se había perdido, y es hallado.
Luke 15
English Standard Version
The Parable of the Lost Sheep
15 Now (A)the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes (B)grumbled, saying, (C)“This man receives sinners and (D)eats with them.”
3 So he told them this parable: 4 (E)“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, (F)if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine (G)in the open country, and (H)go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, (I)he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for (J)I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who (K)repents than over ninety-nine (L)righteous persons who need no repentance.
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or what woman, having ten silver coins,[a] if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ 10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy before (M)the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
The Parable of the Prodigal Son
11 And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. 12 And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me (N)the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided (O)his property between them. 13 Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in (P)reckless living. 14 And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to[b] one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. 16 And he (Q)was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything.
17 “But (R)when he (S)came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, (T)I have sinned against (U)heaven and before you. 19 (V)I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’ 20 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and (W)ran and (X)embraced him and (Y)kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. (Z)I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’[c] 22 But the father said to his servants,[d] ‘Bring quickly (AA)the best robe, and put it on him, and put (AB)a ring on his hand, and (AC)shoes on his feet. 23 And bring (AD)the fattened calf and kill it, and (AE)let us eat and celebrate. 24 For this my son (AF)was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.
25 “Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’ 28 But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, 29 but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might (AG)celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours came, (AH)who has devoured (AI)your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’ 31 And he said to him, ‘Son, (AJ)you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. 32 It was fitting (AK)to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother (AL)was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”
