Luke 15

众税吏和罪人都挨近耶稣，要听他讲道。

zhòng shuì lì hé zuì rén dōu āi jìn yē sū ， yào tīng tā jiǎng dào 。

Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.

法利赛人和文士私下议论说：「这个人接待罪人，又同他们吃饭。」

fǎ lì sài rén hé wén shì sī xià yì lùn shuō ：「 zhè ge rén jiē dài zuì rén ， yòu tóng tā men chī fàn 。」

The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”

耶稣就用比喻说：

yē sū jiù yòng bǐ yù shuō ：

He told them this parable:

「你们中间谁有一百只羊失去一只，不把这九十九只撇在旷野、去找那失去的羊，直到找着呢？

「 nǐ men zhōng jiān shuí yǒu yì bǎi zhī yáng shī qù yì zhī ， bù bǎ zhè jiǔ shí jiǔ zhī piě zài kuàng yě 、 qù zhǎo nà shī qù de yáng ， zhí dào zhǎo zhe ne ？

“Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?

找着了，就欢欢喜喜地扛在肩上，回到家里，

zhǎo zhe le ， jiù huān huān xǐ xǐ dì káng zài jiān shàng ， huí dào jiā lǐ ，

When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

就请朋友邻舍来，对他们说：『我失去的羊已经找着了，你们和我一同欢喜吧！』

jiù qǐng péng yǒu lín shè lái ， duì tā men shuō ：『 wǒ shī qù de yáng yǐ jīng zhǎo zhe le ， nǐ men hé wǒ yì tóng huān xǐ ba ！』

When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’

我告诉你们，一个罪人悔改，在天上也要这样为他欢喜，较比为九十九个不用悔改的义人欢喜更大。」

wǒ gào sù nǐ men ， yí gè zuì rén huǐ gǎi ， zài tiān shàng yě yào zhè yàng wèi tā huān xǐ ， jiào bǐ wèi jiǔ shí jiǔ gè bú yòng huǐ gǎi de yì rén huān xǐ gèng dà 。」

I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.

「或是一个妇人有十块钱，若失落一块，岂不点上灯，打扫屋子，细细地找，直到找着吗？

「 huò shì yí gè fù rén yǒu shí kuài qián ， ruò shī luò yí kuài ， qǐ bù diǎn shàng dēng ， dǎ sǎo wū zi ， xì xì dì zhǎo ， zhí dào zhǎo zhe ma ？

“Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?

找着了，就请朋友邻舍来，对他们说：『我失落的那块钱已经找着了，你们和我一同欢喜吧！』

zhǎo zhe le ， jiù qǐng péng yǒu lín shè lái ， duì tā men shuō ：『 wǒ shī luò de nà kuài qián yǐ jīng zhǎo zhe le ， nǐ men hé wǒ yì tóng huān xǐ ba ！』

When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’

我告诉你们，一个罪人悔改，在 神的使者面前也是这样为他欢喜。」

wǒ gào sù nǐ men ， yí gè zuì rén huǐ gǎi ， zài shén de shǐ zhě miàn qián yě shì zhè yàng wèi tā huān xǐ 。」

Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”

耶稣又说：「一个人有两个儿子。

yē sū yòu shuō ：「 yí gè rén yǒu liǎng gè ér zi 。

He said, “A certain man had two sons.

小儿子对父亲说：『父亲，请你把我应得的家业分给我。』他父亲就把产业分给他们。

xiǎo ér zi duì fù qīn shuō ：『 fù qīn ， qǐng nǐ bǎ wǒ yīng dé de jiā yè fēn gěi wǒ 。』 tā fù qīn jiù bǎ chǎn yè fēn gěi tā men 。

The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.

过了不多几日，小儿子就把他一切所有的都收拾起来，往远方去了。在那里任意放荡，浪费资财。

guò le bù duō jǐ rì ， xiǎo ér zi jiù bǎ tā yí qiè suǒ yǒu de dōu shōu shí qǐ lái ， wǎng yuǎn fāng qù le 。 zài nà lǐ rèn yì fàng dàng ， làng fèi zī cái 。

Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.

既耗尽了一切所有的，又遇着那地方大遭饥荒，就穷苦起来。

jì hào jìn le yí qiè suǒ yǒu de ， yòu yù zhe nà dì fāng dà zāo jī huāng ， jiù qióng kǔ qǐ lái 。

When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.

于是去投靠那地方的一个人；那人打发他到田里去放猪。

yú shì qù tóu kào nà dì fāng de yí gè rén ； nà rén dǎ fā tā dào tián lǐ qù fàng zhū 。

He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.

他恨不得拿猪所吃的豆荚充饥，也没有人给他。

tā hèn bù dé ná zhū suǒ chī de dòu jiá chōng jī ， yě méi yǒu rén gěi tā 。

He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.

他醒悟过来，就说：『我父亲有多少的雇工，口粮有余，我倒在这里饿死吗？

tā xǐng wù guò lái ， jiù shuō ：『 wǒ fù qīn yǒu duō shǎo de gù gōng ， kǒu liáng yǒu yú ， wǒ dǎo zài zhè lǐ è sǐ ma ？

But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!

我要起来，到我父亲那里去，向他说：父亲！我得罪了天，又得罪了你；

wǒ yào qǐ lái ， dào wǒ fù qīn nà lǐ qù ， xiàng tā shuō ： fù qīn ！ wǒ dé zuì le tiān ， yòu dé zuì le nǐ ；

I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.

从今以后，我不配称为你的儿子，把我当作一个雇工吧！』

cóng jīn yǐ hòu ， wǒ bú pèi chēng wéi nǐ de ér zi ， bǎ wǒ dàng zuò yí gè gù gōng ba ！』

I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’

于是起来，往他父亲那里去。相离还远，他父亲看见，就动了慈心，跑去抱着他的颈项，连连与他亲嘴。

yú shì qǐ lái ， wǎng tā fù qīn nà lǐ qù 。 xiāng lí hái yuǎn ， tā fù qīn kàn jiàn ， jiù dòng le cí xīn ， pǎo qù bào zhe tā de jǐng xiàng ， lián lián yǔ tā qīn zuǐ 。

“He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.

儿子说：『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。』

ér zi shuō ：『 fù qīn ！ wǒ dé zuì le tiān ， yòu dé zuì le nǐ ； cóng jīn yǐ hòu ， wǒ bú pèi chēng wéi nǐ de ér zi 。』

The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

父亲却吩咐仆人说：『把那上好的袍子快拿出来给他穿；把戒指戴在他指头上；把鞋穿在他脚上；

fù qīn què fēn fù pú rén shuō ：『 bǎ nà shàng hǎo de páo zǐ kuài ná chū lái gěi tā chuān ； bǎ jiè zhǐ dài zài tā zhǐ tou shàng ； bǎ xié chuān zài tā jiǎo shàng ；

“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.

把那肥牛犊牵来宰了，我们可以吃喝快乐；

bǎ nà féi niú dú qiān lái zǎi le ， wǒ men kě yǐ chī hē kuài lè ；

Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;

因为我这个儿子是死而复活，失而又得的。』他们就快乐起来。

yīn wèi wǒ zhè ge ér zi shì sǐ ér fù huó ， shī ér yòu dé de 。』 tā men jiù kuài lè qǐ lái 。

for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.

那时，大儿子正在田里。他回来，离家不远，听见作乐跳舞的声音，

nà shí ， dà ér zǐ zhèng zài tián lǐ 。 tā huí lái ， lí jiā bù yuǎn ， tīng jiàn zuò lè tiào wǔ de shēng yīn ，

“Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.

便叫过一个仆人来，问是什么事。

biàn jiào guò yí gè pú rén lái ， wèn shì shén me shì 。

He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.

仆人说：『你兄弟来了；你父亲因为得他无灾无病地回来，把肥牛犊宰了。』

pú rén shuō ：『 nǐ xiōng dì lái le ； nǐ fù qīn yīn wèi dé tā wú zāi wú bìng dì huí lái ， bǎ féi niú dú zǎi le 。』

He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’

大儿子却生气，不肯进去；他父亲就出来劝他。

dà ér zi què shēng qì ， bù kěn jìn qù ； tā fù qīn jiù chū lái quàn tā 。

But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.

他对父亲说：『我服事你这多年，从来没有违背过你的命，你并没有给我一只山羊羔，叫我和朋友一同快乐。

tā duì fù qīn shuō ：『 wǒ fú shì nǐ zhè duō nián ， cóng lái méi yǒu wéi bèi guò nǐ de mìng ， nǐ bìng méi yǒu gěi wǒ yì zhī shān yáng gāo ， jiào wǒ hé péng yǒu yì tóng kuài lè 。

But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.

但你这个儿子和娼妓吞尽了你的产业，他一来了，你倒为他宰了肥牛犊。』

dàn nǐ zhè ge ér zi hé chāng jì tūn jìn le nǐ de chǎn yè ， tā yì lái le ， nǐ dǎo wèi tā zǎi le féi niú dú 。』

But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’

父亲对他说：『儿啊！你常和我同在，我一切所有的都是你的；

fù qīn duì tā shuō ：『 ér a ！ nǐ cháng hé wǒ tóng zài ， wǒ yí qiè suǒ yǒu de dōu shì nǐ de ；

“He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.

只是你这个兄弟是死而复活、失而又得的，所以我们理当欢喜快乐。』」

zhǐ shì nǐ zhè ge xiōng dì shì sǐ ér fù huó 、 shī ér yòu dé de ， suǒ yǐ wǒ men lǐ dāng huān xǐ kuài lè 。』」

But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
