Lukas 15
Schlachter 1951
Das Gleichnis vom verlorenen Schaf
15 Es pflegten ihm aber alle Zöllner und Sünder zu nahen, um ihn zu hören. 2 Und die Pharisäer und Schriftgelehrten murrten und sprachen: Dieser nimmt die Sünder an und ißt mit ihnen!
3 Er sagte aber zu ihnen dieses Gleichnis und sprach: 4 Welcher Mensch ist unter euch, der hundert Schafe hat und eins von ihnen verliert, der nicht die neunundneunzig in der Wüste läßt und dem verlornen nachgeht, bis er es findet? 5 Und wenn er es gefunden hat, nimmt er es auf seine Schulter mit Freuden; 6 und wenn er nach Hause kommt, ruft er die Freunde und Nachbarn zusammen und spricht zu ihnen: Freuet euch mit mir; denn ich habe mein Schaf gefunden, das verloren war! 7 Ich sage euch, also wird Freude sein im Himmel über einen Sünder, der Buße tut, mehr als über neunundneunzig Gerechte, die der Buße nicht bedürfen.
Das Gleichnis von der verlorenen Drachme
8 Oder welche Frau, die zehn Drachmen[a] hat, wenn sie eine Drachme verliert, zündet nicht ein Licht an und kehrt das Haus und sucht mit Fleiß, bis sie sie findet? 9 Und wenn sie sie gefunden hat, ruft sie die Freundinnen und Nachbarinnen zusammen und spricht: Freuet euch mit mir; denn ich habe die Drachme gefunden, die ich verloren hatte! 10 Also, sage ich euch, ist Freude vor den Engeln Gottes über einen Sünder, der Buße tut.
Das Gleichnis vom verlorenen Sohn
11 Und er sprach: Ein Mensch hatte zwei Söhne. 12 Und der jüngere sprach zum Vater: Gib mir, Vater, den Teil des Vermögens, der mir zufällt! Und er teilte ihnen das Gut.
13 Und nicht lange darnach packte der jüngere Sohn alles zusammen und reiste in ein fernes Land, und dort verschleuderte er sein Vermögen mit liederlichem Leben. 14 Nachdem er aber alles aufgebraucht hatte, kam eine gewaltige Hungersnot über jenes Land, und auch er fing an, Mangel zu leiden. 15 Da ging er hin und hängte sich an einen Bürger jenes Landes; der schickte ihn auf seinen Acker, die Schweine zu hüten. 16 Und er begehrte, sich zu sättigen mit den Schoten, welche die Schweine fraßen; und niemand gab sie ihm.
17 Er kam aber zu sich selbst[b] und sprach: Wie viele Tagelöhner meines Vaters haben Brot im Überfluß, ich aber verderbe hier vor Hunger! 18 Ich will mich aufmachen und zu meinem Vater gehen und zu ihm sagen: Vater, ich habe gesündigt gegen den Himmel und vor dir, 19 ich bin nicht mehr wert, dein Sohn zu heißen; mache mich zu einem deiner Tagelöhner! 20 Und er machte sich auf und ging zu seinem Vater.
Als er aber noch fern war, sah ihn sein Vater und hatte Erbarmen, lief, fiel ihm um den Hals und küßte ihn.
21 Der Sohn aber sprach zu ihm: Vater, ich habe gesündigt gegen den Himmel und vor dir, ich bin nicht mehr wert, dein Sohn zu heißen!
22 Aber der Vater sprach zu seinen Knechten: Bringet eilends das beste Feierkleid her und ziehet es ihm an, und gebet ihm einen Ring an die Hand und Schuhe an die Füße; 23 und bringet das gemästete Kalb her und schlachtet es; lasset uns essen und fröhlich sein! 24 Denn dieser mein Sohn war tot und ist wieder lebendig geworden; er war verloren und ist wiedergefunden worden. Und sie fingen an, fröhlich zu sein. -
25 Aber sein älterer Sohn war auf dem Felde; und als er kam und sich dem Hause näherte, hörte er Musik und Tanz. 26 Und er rief einen der Knechte herbei und erkundigte sich, was das sei. 27 Der sprach zu ihm: Dein Bruder ist gekommen, und dein Vater hat das gemästete Kalb geschlachtet, weil er ihn gesund wiedererhalten hat.
28 Da ward er zornig und wollte nicht hineingehen. Sein Vater aber ging hinaus und redete ihm zu. 29 Er aber antwortete und sprach zum Vater: Siehe, so viele Jahre diene ich dir und habe nie dein Gebot übertreten; und mir hast du nie einen Bock gegeben, damit ich mit meinen Freunden fröhlich wäre. 30 Da aber dieser dein Sohn gekommen ist, der dein Gut mit Dirnen verschlungen hat, hast du ihm das gemästete Kalb geschlachtet!
31 Er aber sprach zu ihm: Mein Sohn, du bist allezeit bei mir, und alles, was mein ist, das ist dein. 32 Man mußte aber fröhlich sein und sich freuen; denn dieser dein Bruder war tot und ist wieder lebendig geworden, er war verloren und ist wiedergefunden worden!

King James Version
15 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
4 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?
5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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?
9 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.
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
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.

Parábola de la oveja perdida
15 Todos los recaudadores de impuestos[a](A) y los pecadores se acercaban para oír a Jesús. 2 Y los fariseos y los escribas murmuraban: «Este recibe a los pecadores y come con ellos(B)».
3 Entonces Jesús les dijo esta parábola: 4 «¿(C)Qué hombre de ustedes, si tiene cien ovejas y una de ellas se pierde, no deja las noventa y nueve en el campo[b]y va tras la que está perdida hasta que la halla? 5 Al encontrarla, la pone sobre sus hombros, gozoso. 6 Cuando llega a su casa, reúne a los amigos y a los vecinos, diciéndoles: “Alégrense conmigo, porque he hallado mi oveja que se había perdido”. 7 Les digo que de la misma manera, habrá más gozo en el cielo por un pecador que se arrepiente que por noventa y nueve justos que no necesitan arrepentimiento.
Parábola de la moneda perdida
8 »¿O qué mujer, si tiene diez monedas de plata[c] y pierde una moneda, no enciende una lámpara y barre la casa y busca con cuidado hasta hallarla? 9 Cuando la encuentra, reúne a las amigas y vecinas, diciendo: “Alégrense conmigo porque he hallado la moneda que había perdido”. 10 De la misma manera, les digo, hay gozo en la presencia de los ángeles de Dios por un pecador que se arrepiente(D)».
Parábola del hijo pródigo
11 Jesús añadió: «Cierto hombre tenía dos hijos; 12 y el menor de ellos le dijo al padre: “Padre, dame la parte de la hacienda que me corresponde(E)”. Y él les repartió sus bienes[d](F). 13 No muchos días después, el hijo menor, juntándolo todo, partió a un país lejano, y allí malgastó su hacienda viviendo perdidamente.
14 »Cuando lo había gastado todo, vino una gran hambre en aquel país, y comenzó a pasar necesidad. 15 Entonces fue y se acercó[e]a uno de los ciudadanos de aquel país, y él lo mandó a sus campos a apacentar cerdos. 16 Y deseaba llenarse el estómago[f]de[g]las algarrobas que comían los cerdos, pero nadie le daba nada. 17 Entonces, volviendo en sí, dijo: “¡Cuántos de los trabajadores de mi padre tienen pan de sobra, pero yo aquí perezco de hambre! 18 Me levantaré e iré a mi padre, y le diré: ‘Padre, he pecado contra el cielo y ante ti; 19 ya no soy digno de ser llamado hijo tuyo; hazme como uno de tus trabajadores’”».
20 «Levantándose, fue a su padre. Cuando todavía estaba lejos, su padre lo vio y sintió compasión por él, y corrió, se echó sobre su cuello y lo besó[h](G) . 21 Y el hijo le dijo: “Padre, he pecado contra el cielo y ante ti; ya no soy digno de ser llamado hijo tuyo[i]”. 22 Pero el padre dijo a sus siervos: “Pronto; traigan la mejor ropa y vístanlo(H); pónganle un anillo en su mano(I)y sandalias en los pies. 23 Traigan el becerro engordado, mátenlo, y comamos y regocijémonos; 24 porque este hijo mío estaba muerto y ha vuelto a la vida; estaba perdido y ha sido hallado(J)”. Y comenzaron a regocijarse.
25 »Su hijo mayor estaba en el campo, y cuando vino y se acercó a la casa, oyó música y danzas. 26 Llamando a uno de los criados, le preguntó qué era todo aquello. 27 Y él le dijo: “Tu hermano ha venido, y tu padre ha matado el becerro engordado, porque lo ha recibido sano y salvo”.
28 »Entonces él se enojó y no quería entrar. Salió su padre y le rogaba que entrara. 29 Pero él le dijo al padre: “Mira, por tantos años te he servido y nunca he desobedecido ninguna orden tuya, y sin embargo, nunca me has dado un cabrito para regocijarme con mis amigos; 30 pero cuando vino este hijo tuyo, que ha consumido tus bienes[j]con rameras(K), mataste para él el becerro engordado”. 31 Y su padre le dijo: “Hijo mío, tú siempre has estado[k]conmigo, y todo lo mío es tuyo. 32 Pero era necesario hacer fiesta y regocijarnos, porque este, tu hermano, estaba muerto y ha vuelto a la vida; estaba perdido y ha sido hallado(L)”».

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)

The Parable of the Lost Sheep(A)
15 Then (B)all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. 2 And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, “This Man [a]receives sinners (C)and eats with them.” 3 So He spoke this parable to them, saying:
4 (D)“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, (E)‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep (F)which was lost!’ 7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents (G)than over ninety-nine [b]just persons who (H)need no repentance.
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or what woman, having ten silver [c]coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’ 10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
The Parable of the Lost Son
11 Then 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 falls to me.’ So he divided to them (I)his livelihood. 13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with [d]prodigal living. 14 But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. 15 Then 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 gladly have filled his stomach with the [e]pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.
17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, (J)I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’
20 “And he arose and came to his father. But (K)when he was still 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 to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven (L)and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, [f]‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23 And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 (M)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 older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.’

31 “And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. 32 It was right that we should make merry and be glad, (N)for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’ ”
