1 And all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to Him, to hear Him,
1 Y SE llegaban á él todos los publicanos y pecadores á oirle.
2 and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying, “This One receives sinners, and eats 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 allegory, saying,
3 Y él les propuso esta parábola, diciendo:
4 “What man of you having one hundred sheep, and having lost one out of them, does not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go on after the lost one, until he may 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 having found, he lays [it] on his shoulders rejoicing,
5 Y hallada, la pone sobre sus hombros gozoso;
6 and having come into the house, he calls together the friends and the neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep—the lost one.
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 [more] joy will be in Heaven over one sinner converting, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of conversion.
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 drachmas, if she may lose one drachma, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully until she may find?
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 having found, she calls together the female friends and the neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I found the drachma that I 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, joy comes before the messengers of God over one sinner converting.”
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 the father, Father, give me the portion of the substance falling to [me], and he divided to them the living.
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, having gathered all together, the younger son went abroad to a far country, and there he scattered 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 he having spent all, there came a mighty famine on that country, and himself 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 having gone on, he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into the fields to feed pigs,
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 was desirous to fill his belly from the husks that the pigs were eating, and no one was giving to him.
16 Y deseaba henchir su vientre de las algarrobas que comían los puercos; mas nadie se [las] daba.
17 And having come to himself, he said, How many hired workers of my father have a superabundance of bread, and I am perishing here 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 Having risen, I will go on to my father, and will say to him, Father, I sinned—to Heaven, and before you,
18 Me levantaré, é iré á mi padre, y le diré: Padre, he pecado contra el cielo, y contra ti;
19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired workers.
19 Ya no soy digno de ser llamado tu hijo; hazme como á uno de tus jornaleros.
20 And having risen, he went to his own father, and he being yet far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and having ran he fell on 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 sinned—to Heaven, and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your 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 the foremost robe, and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and sandals for the 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 having brought the fatted calf, kill [it], and having eaten, we may be merry,
23 Y traed el becerro grueso, y matadlo, y comamos, y hagamos fiesta:
24 because this son of mine was dead, and lived again, and he was lost, and was 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 And his elder son was in a field, and as, coming, he drew near 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 having called near one of the young men, he was inquiring what these things might be,
26 Y llamando á uno de los criados, preguntóle qué era aquello.
27 and he said to him, Your brother has arrived, and your father killed the fatted calf, because he received him back in health.
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, therefore his father, having come forth, was pleading 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 the father, Behold, so many years I serve you, and never did I transgress your command, and you never gave to me a kid that I might 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 when your son—this one who devoured your living with prostitutes—came, you killed to 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 And he said to him, Child, you are always with me, and all my things are yours;
31 El entonces le dijo: Hijo, tú siempre estás conmigo, y todas mis cosas son tuyas.
32 but to be merry, and to be glad, it was necessary, because this your brother was dead, and lived again, he was lost, and was 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 …
