1 Now the publicans and sinners drew near unto him to hear him.
1 Y SE llegaban á él todos los publicanos y pecadores á oirle.
2 And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying: This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
2 Y murmuraban los Fariseos y los escribas, diciendo: Este á los pecadores recibe, y con ellos come.
3 And he spoke to them this parable, saying:
3 Y él les propuso esta parábola, diciendo:
4 What man of you that hath an hundred sheep: and if he shall lose one of them, doth he not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go after that which was lost, until he find it?
4 ¿Qué hombre de vosotros, teniendo cien ovejas, si perdiere una de ellas, no deja las noventa y nueve en el desierto, y va á la que se perdió, hasta que la halle?
5 And when he hath found it, lay it upon his shoulders, rejoicing:
5 Y hallada, la pone sobre sus hombros gozoso;
6 And coming home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost?
6 Y viniendo á casa, junta á los amigos y á los vecinos, diciéndoles: Dadme el parabién, porque he hallado mi oveja que se había perdido.
7 I say to you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety-nine just who need not penance.
7 Os digo, que así habrá [más] gozo en el cielo de un pecador que se arrepiente, que de noventa y nueve justos, que no necesitan arrepentimiento.
8 Or what woman having ten groats; if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?
8 ¿O qué mujer que tiene diez dracmas, si perdiere una dracma, no enciende el candil, y barre la casa, y busca con diligencia hasta hallarla?
9 And when she hath found it, call together her friends and neighbours, saying: Rejoice with me, because I have found the groat which I had lost.
9 Y cuando la hubiere hallado, junta las amigas y las vecinas, diciendo: Dadme el parabién, porque he hallado la dracma que había perdido.
10 So I say to you, there shall be joy before the angels of God upon one sinner doing penance.
10 Así os digo que hay gozo delante de los ángeles de Dios por un pecador que se arrepiente.
11 And he said: A certain man had two sons:
11 Y dijo: Un hombre tenía dos hijos;
12 And the younger of them said to his father: Father, give me the portion of substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his substance.
12 Y el menor de ellos dijo á su padre: Padre, dame la parte de la hacienda que me pertenece: y les repartió la hacienda.
13 And not many days after, the younger son, gathering all together, went abroad into a far country: and there wasted his substance, living riotously.
13 Y no muchos días después, juntándolo todo el hijo menor, partió lejos á una provincia apartada; y allí desperdició su hacienda viviendo perdidamente.
14 And after he had spent all, there came a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.
14 Y cuando todo lo hubo malgastado, vino una grande hambre en aquella provincia, y comenzóle á faltar.
15 And he went and cleaved to one of the citizens of that country. And he sent him into his farm to feed swine.
15 Y fué y se llegó á uno de los ciudadanos de aquella tierra, el cual le envió á su hacienda para que apacentase los puercos.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him.
16 Y deseaba henchir su vientre de las algarrobas que comían los puercos; mas nadie se [las] daba.
17 And returning to himself, he said: How many hired servants in my father’s house abound with bread, and I here perish with hunger?
17 Y volviendo en sí, dijo: ¡Cuántos jornaleros en casa de mi padre tienen abundancia de pan, y yo aquí perezco de hambre!
18 I will arise, and will go to my father, and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee:
18 Me levantaré, é iré á mi padre, y le diré: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo, y contra ti;
19 I am not worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
19 Ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo; hazme como á uno de tus jornaleros.
20 And rising up he came to his father. And when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and running to him fell upon his neck, and kissed him.
20 Y levantándose, vino á su padre. Y como aun estuviese lejos, viólo su padre, y fué movido á misericordia, y corrió, y echóse sobre su cuello, y besóle.
21 And the son said to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, I am not now worthy to be called thy son.
21 Y el hijo le dijo: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo, y contra ti, y ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo.
22 And the father said to his servants: Bring forth quickly the first robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
22 Mas el padre dijo á sus siervos: Sacad el principal vestido, y vestidle; y poned un anillo en su mano, y zapatos en sus pies.
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat and make merry:
23 Y traed el becerro grueso, y matadlo, y comamos, y hagamos fiesta:
24 Because this my son was dead, and is come to life again: was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
24 Porque este mi hijo muerto era, y ha revivido; habíase perdido, y es hallado. Y comenzaron á regocijarse.
25 Now his elder son was in the field, and when he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing:
25 Y su hijo el mayor estaba en el campo; el cual como vino, y llegó cerca de casa, oyó la sinfonía y las danzas;
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
26 Y llamando á uno de los criados, preguntóle qué era aquello.
27 And he said to him: Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe.
27 Y él le dijo: Tu hermano ha venido; y tu padre ha muerto el becerro grueso, por haberle recibido salvo.
28 And he was angry, and would not go in. His father therefore coming out began to entreat him.
28 Entonces se enojó, y no quería entrar. Salió por tanto su padre, y le rogaba [que entrase].
29 And he answering, said to his father: Behold, for so many years do I serve thee, and I have never transgressed thy commandment, and yet thou hast never given me a kid to make merry with my friends:
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 gozarme con mis amigos:
30 But as soon as this thy son is come, who hath devoured his substance with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
30 Mas cuando vino éste tu hijo, que ha consumido tu hacienda con rameras, has matado para él el becerro grueso.
31 But he said to him: Son, thou art always with me, and all I have is thine.
31 El entonces le dijo: Hijo, tú siempre estás conmigo, y todas mis cosas son tuyas.
32 But it was fit that we should make merry and be glad, for this thy brother was dead and is come to life again; he was lost, and is found.
32 Mas era menester hacer fiesta y holgar[nos], porque este tu hermano muerto era, y ha revivido; habíase perdido, y es hallado.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
In the same way they oracularly declare, that one power having departed also from the Duodecad, has perished; and this was represented by the woman who lost the drachma, and, lighting a lamp, again found it.
Far, indeed, was I wandering away from Thee, being even shut out from the very husks of the swine, whom with husks I fed. For how much better, then, are the fables of the grammarians and poets than these snares!

But Luke saith, that He even brought it on his shoulders, and that "There was greater joy over one sinner that repenteth, than over ninety and nine just persons." And from His forsaking those that were saved for it, and from His taking more pleasure in this one, He showed His earnestness about it to be great.

… Christ, as yet by calling only, but ere long by grace also, make you a new heart and a new spirit, that there may be gladness among the inhabitants of heaven: for if over one sinner that repenteth there is joy, according to the Gospel, how much more shall the salvation of so many souls move the inhabitants of …

… no repentance." And with much joyfulness do we hear, whenever we hear, how the lost sheep is brought home again on the Shepherd's shoulders, while the angels rejoice, and the drachma is restored to Thy treasury, the neighhours rejoicing with the woman who found it; and the joy of the solemn service of Thy house constraineth to tears, when in …
