Lucas 15

BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Todos los publicanos y los pecadores se acercaban a él para oírle,	1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
2 y los fariseos y los escribas murmuraban, diciendo: «Este acoge a los pecadores y come con ellos».	2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 Entonces les dijo esta parábola.	3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
4 «¿Quién de vosotros que tiene cien ovejas, si pierde una de ellas, no deja las 99 en el desierto, y va a buscar la que se perdió hasta que la encuentra?	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 Y cuando la encuentra, la pone contento sobre sus hombros;	5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 y llegando a casa, convoca a los amigos y vecinos, y les dice: “Alegraos conmigo, porque he hallado la oveja que se me había perdido.”	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 Os digo que, de igual modo, habrá más alegría en el cielo por un solo pecador que se convierta que por 99 justos que no tengan necesidad de conversión.	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 «O, ¿qué mujer que tiene diez dracmas, si pierde una, no enciende una lámpara y barre la casa y busca cuidadosamente hasta que la encuentra?	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 Y cuando la encuentra, convoca a las amigas y vecinas, y dice: “Alegraos conmigo, porque he hallado la dracma que había perdido.”	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 Del mismo modo, os digo, se produce alegría ante los ángeles de Dios por un solo pecador que se convierta».	10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
11 Dijo: «Un hombre tenía dos hijos;	11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 y el menor de ellos dijo al padre: “Padre, dame la parte de la hacienda que me corresponde.” Y él les repartió la hacienda.	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 Pocos días después el hijo menor lo reunió todo y se marchó a un país lejano donde malgastó su hacienda viviendo como un libertino.	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 «Cuando hubo gastado todo, sobrevino un hambre extrema en aquel país, y comenzó a pasar necesidad.	14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 Entonces, fue y se ajustó con uno de los ciudadanos de aquel país, que le envió a sus fincas a apacentar puercos.	15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 Y deseaba llenar su vientre con las algarrobas que comían los puercos, pero nadie se las daba.	16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17 Y entrando en sí mismo, dijo: “¡Cuántos jornaleros de mi padre tienen pan en abundancia, mientras que yo aquí me muero de hambre!	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 Me levantaré, iré a mi padre y le diré: Padre, pequé contra el cielo y ante ti.	18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 Ya no merezco ser llamado hijo tuyo, trátame como a uno de tus jornaleros.”	19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 Y, levantándose, partió hacia su padre. «Estando él todavía lejos, le vió su padre y, conmovido, corrió, se echó a su cuello y le besó efusivamente.	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 El hijo le dijo: “Padre, pequé contra el cielo y ante ti; ya no merezco ser llamado hijo tuyo.”	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 Pero el padre dijo a sus siervos: “Traed aprisa el mejor vestido y vestidle, ponedle un anillo en su mano y unas sandalias en los pies.	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 Traed el novillo cebado, matadlo, y comamos y celebremos una fiesta,	23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 porque este hijo mío estaba muerto y ha vuelto a la vida; estaba perdido y ha sido hallado.” Y comenzaron la fiesta.	24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 «Su hijo mayor estaba en el campo y, al volver, cuando se acercó a la casa, oyó la música y las danzas;	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 y llamando a uno de los criados, le preguntó qué era aquello.	26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 El le dijo: “Ha vuelto tu hermano y tu padre ha matado el novillo cebado, porque le ha recobrado sano.”	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 El se irritó y no quería entrar. Salió su padre, y le suplicaba.	28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
29 Pero él replicó a su padre: “Hace tantos años que te sirvo, y jamás dejé de cumplir una orden tuya, pero nunca me has dado un cabrito para tener una fiesta con mis amigos;	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 y ¡ahora que ha venido ese hijo tuyo, que ha devorado tu hacienda con prostitutas, has matado para él el novillo cebado!”	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 «Pero él le dijo: “Hijo, tú siempre estás conmigo, y todo lo mío es tuyo;	31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 pero convenía celebrar una fiesta y alegrarse, porque este hermano tuyo estaba muerto, y ha vuelto a la vida; estaba perdido, y ha sido hallado.”»	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.
