路加福音 15

眾稅吏和罪人都挨近耶穌，要聽他講道。

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.

法利賽人和文士私下議論說：「這個人接待罪人，又同他們吃飯。」

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.”

耶穌就用比喻說：

yē sū jiù yòng bǐ yù shuō ：

He told them this parable:

「你們中間誰有一百隻羊失去一隻，不把這九十九隻撇在曠野、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，就歡歡喜喜地扛在肩上，回到家裏，

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.

就請朋友鄰舍來，對他們說：『我失去的羊已經找着了，你們和我一同歡喜吧！』

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!’

我告訴你們，一個罪人悔改，在天上也要這樣為他歡喜，較比為九十九個不用悔改的義人歡喜更大。」

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.

「或是一個婦人有十塊錢，若失落一塊，豈不點上燈，打掃屋子，細細地找，直到找着嗎？

「 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，就請朋友鄰舍來，對他們說：『我失落的那塊錢已經找着了，你們和我一同歡喜吧！』

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!’

我告訴你們，一個罪人悔改，在上帝的使者面前也是這樣為他歡喜。」

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.”

耶穌又說：「一個人有兩個兒子。

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

He said, “A certain man had two sons.

小兒子對父親說：『父親，請你把我應得的家業分給我。』他父親就把產業分給他們。

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.

過了不多幾日，小兒子就把他一切所有的都收拾起來，往遠方去了。在那裏任意放蕩，浪費資財。

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.

既耗盡了一切所有的，又遇着那地方大遭饑荒，就窮苦起來。

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.

於是去投靠那地方的一個人；那人打發他到田裏去放豬。

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.

他恨不得拿豬所吃的豆莢充飢，也沒有人給他。

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.

他醒悟過來，就說：『我父親有多少的雇工，口糧有餘，我倒在這裏餓死嗎？

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!

我要起來，到我父親那裏去，向他說：父親！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.

從今以後，我不配稱為你的兒子，把我當作一個雇工吧！』

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.”’

於是起來，往他父親那裏去。相離還遠，他父親看見，就動了慈心，跑去抱着他的頸項，連連與他親嘴。

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.

兒子說：『父親！我得罪了天，又得罪了你；從今以後，我不配稱為你的兒子。』

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.’

父親卻吩咐僕人說：『把那上好的袍子快拿出來給他穿；把戒指戴在他指頭上；把鞋穿在他腳上；

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.

把那肥牛犢牽來宰了，我們可以吃喝快樂；

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;

因為我這個兒子是死而復活，失而又得的。』他們就快樂起來。

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.

那時，大兒子正在田裏。他回來，離家不遠，聽見作樂跳舞的聲音，

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.

便叫過一個僕人來，問是甚麼事。

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.

僕人說：『你兄弟來了；你父親因為得他無災無病地回來，把肥牛犢宰了。』

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.’

大兒子卻生氣，不肯進去；他父親就出來勸他。

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.

他對父親說：『我服事你這多年，從來沒有違背過你的命，你並沒有給我一隻山羊羔，叫我和朋友一同快樂。

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.

但你這個兒子和娼妓吞盡了你的產業，他一來了，你倒為他宰了肥牛犢。』

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.’

父親對他說：『兒啊！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.

只是你這個兄弟是死而復活、失而又得的，所以我們理當歡喜快樂。』」

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.’”
