PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Entonces muchos publicanos y pecadores se acercaban para oírlo.
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
1 Ἦσαν δὲ ἐγγίζοντες αὐτῷ πάντες οἱ τελῶναι καὶ [οἱ] ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ.
2 Los fariseos y los escribas refunfuñaban: Éste recibe a pecadores y come con ellos.
2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
2 καὶ διεγόγγυζον οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς λέγοντες ὅτι οὗτος ἁμαρτωλοὺς προσδέχεται καὶ συνεσθίει αὐτοῖς.
3 Entonces les presentó esta parábola:
3 He told them this parable:
3 εἶπε δὲ πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην λέγων·
4 ¿Cuál hombre de ustedes que tenga 100 ovejas, y pierda una, no deja las 99 en un lugar solitario y va tras la perdida, hasta que la halle?
4 “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?
4 τίς ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὑμῶν ἔχων ἑκατὸν πρόβατα, καὶ ἀπολέσας ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν, οὐ καταλείπει τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τὸ ἀπολωλὸς ἕως οὗ εὕρῃ αὐτό;
5 Y después de hallarla, se regocija y [la] pone sobre sus hombros.
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
5 καὶ εὑρὼν ἐπιτίθησιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὤμους αὐτοῦ χαίρων,
6 Al regresar a casa, reúne a los amigos y vecinos, y les dice: ¡Regocíjense conmigo, porque hallé mi oveja perdida!
6 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!’
6 καὶ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὸν οἶκον συγκαλεῖ τοὺς φίλους καὶ τοὺς γείτονας λέγων αὐτοῖς· συγχάρητέ μοι ὅτι εὗρον τὸ πρόβατόν μου τὸ ἀπολωλός.
7 Les digo que así habrá [más] gozo en el cielo por un pecador que cambia de mente que por 99 justos que no tienen necesidad de cambio de mente.
7 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.
7 λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὕτω χαρὰ ἔσται ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἐπὶ ἑνὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ μετανοοῦντι ἢ ἐπὶ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα δικαίοις, οἵτινες οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσι μετανοίας.
8 ¿O cuál mujer que tiene diez dracmas, cuando pierda una, no enciende una lámpara, barre la casa y busca cuidadosamente hasta que [la] halla?
8 “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?
8 Ἢ τίς γυνὴ δραχμὰς ἔχουσα δέκα, ἐὰν ἀπολέσῃ δραχμὴν μίαν, οὐχὶ ἅπτει λύχνον καὶ σαροῖ τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ ζητεῖ ἐπιμελῶς ἕως ὅτου εὕρῃ;
9 Cuando la halla, reúne a las amigas y vecinas y les dice: ¡Regocíjense conmigo! ¡Hallé la dracma que había perdido!
9 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!’
9 καὶ εὑροῦσα συγκαλεῖ τὰς φίλας καὶ τὰς γείτονας λέγουσα· συγχάρητέ μοι ὅτι εὗρον τὴν δραχμὴν ἣν ἀπώλεσα.
10 Así les digo, habrá gozo delante de los ángeles de Dios por un pecador que cambia de mente.
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
10 οὕτω, λέγω ὑμῖν, χαρὰ γίνεται ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπὶ ἑνὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ μετανοοῦντι.
11 También dijo: Un hombre tenía dos hijos.
11 He said, “A certain man had two sons.
11 Εἶπε δέ· ἄνθρωπός τις εἶχε δύο υἱούς.
12 El menor dijo al padre: Padre, dame la parte de la hacienda que me corresponde. Y él les repartió la propiedad.
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
12 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ νεώτερος αὐτῶν τῷ πατρί· πάτερ, δός μοι τὸ ἐπιβάλλον μέρος τῆς οὐσίας. καὶ διεῖλεν αὐτοῖς τὸν βίον.
13 Unos pocos días más tarde, el hijo menor recogió sus cosas, salió hacia una región lejana y allí malgastó sus bienes en una vida perdida.
13 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.
13 καὶ μετ᾽ οὐ πολλὰς ἡμέρας συναγαγὼν ἅπαντα ὁ νεώτερος υἱὸς ἀπεδήμησεν εἰς χώραν μακράν, καὶ ἐκεῖ διεσκόρπισε τὴν οὐσίαν αὐτοῦ ζῶν ἀσώτως.
14 Después de malgastar todo, llegó una hambruna severa en aquella región, y él comenzó a tener necesidad.
14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
14 δαπανήσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ πάντα ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἰσχυρὸς κατὰ τὴν χώραν ἐκείνην, καὶ αὐτὸς ἤρξατο ὑστερεῖσθαι.
15 Fue y se arrimó a uno de los ciudadanos de aquella región, quien [lo] envió a sus campos a apacentar cerdos.
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
15 καὶ πορευθεὶς ἐκολλήθη ἑνὶ τῶν πολιτῶν τῆς χώρας ἐκείνης, καὶ ἔπεμψεν αὐτὸν εἰς τοὺς ἀγροὺς αὐτοῦ βόσκειν χοίρους.
16 Ansiaba saciarse con las algarrobas que comían los cerdos, pero nadie se las daba.
16 He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
16 καὶ ἐπεθύμει γεμίσαι τὴν κοιλίαν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν κερατίων ὧν ἤσθιον οἱ χοῖροι, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδίδου αὐτῷ.
17 Entonces reflexionaba y decía: ¡Cuántos jornaleros de mi padre tienen superabundancia de pan, y yo aquí me muero de hambre!
17 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!
17 εἰς ἑαυτὸν δὲ ἐλθὼν εἶπε· πόσοι μίσθιοι τοῦ πατρός μου περισσεύουσιν ἄρτων, ἐγὼ δὲ λιμῷ ἀπόλλυμαι!
18 Me levantaré, iré a mi padre y le diré: Padre, pequé contra el cielo y contra ti.
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
18 ἀναστὰς πορεύσομαι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ ἐρῶ αὐτῷ· πάτερ, ἥμαρτον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐνώπιόν σου.
19 No soy digno de que me llames tu hijo. Recíbeme como uno de tus jornaleros.
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
19 οὐκέτι εἰμὶ ἄξιος κληθῆναι υἱός σου· ποίησόν με ὡς ἕνα τῶν μισθίων σου.
20 Se levantó y regresó a su padre. Cuando él estaba aún muy distante, su padre lo vio y tuvo compasión de él. Corrió, lo abrazó y lo besó.
20 “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.
20 καὶ ἀναστὰς ἦλθε πρὸς τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ. ἔτι δὲ αὐτοῦ μακρὰν ἀπέχοντος εἶδεν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη, καὶ δραμὼν ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν.
21 El hijo le habló: Padre, pequé contra el cielo y contra ti. No soy digno de que me llames tu hijo.
21 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.’
21 εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ υἱός· πάτερ, ἥμαρτον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐνώπιόν σου, καὶ οὐκέτι εἰμὶ ἄξιος κληθῆναι υἱός σου.
22 Pero el padre ordenó a sus esclavos: ¡Saquen pronto la mejor ropa y vístanlo, y pongan un anillo en su mano y sandalias en sus pies!
22 “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.
22 εἶπε δὲ ὁ πατὴρ πρὸς τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ· ἐξενέγκατε τὴν στολὴν τὴν πρώτην καὶ ἐνδύσατε αὐτόν, καὶ δότε δακτύλιον εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ὑποδήματα εἰς τοὺς πόδας,
23 ¡Traigan el becerro gordo y mátenlo! ¡Comamos y regocijémonos!
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
23 καὶ ἐνέγκαντες τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτὸν θύσατε, καὶ φαγόντες εὐφρανθῶμεν,
24 Porque este hijo mío estaba muerto y revivió. Estaba perdido y fue hallado. Y comenzaron a regocijarse.
24 for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
24 ὅτι οὗτος ὁ υἱός μου νεκρὸς ἦν καὶ ἀνέζησε, καὶ ἀπολωλὼς ἦν καὶ εὑρέθη. καὶ ἤρξαντο εὐφραίνεσθαι.
25 Cuando el hijo mayor regresaba del campo, se acercó a la casa y oyó música y danza.
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
25 Ἦν δὲ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ πρεσβύτερος ἐν ἀγρῷ· καὶ ὡς ἐρχόμενος ἤγγισε τῇ οἰκίᾳ, ἤκουσε συμφωνίας καὶ χορῶν,
26 Llamó a uno de los esclavos y le preguntó qué ocurría.
26 He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
26 καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος ἕνα τῶν παίδων ἐπυνθάνετο τί εἴη ταῦτα.
27 Él le contestó: Tu hermano regresó, y tu padre sacrificó el becerro gordo, porque lo recibió sano.
27 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.’
27 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὅτι ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἥκει καὶ ἔθυσεν ὁ πατήρ σου τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν, ὅτι ὑγιαίνοντα αὐτὸν ἀπέλαβεν.
28 Entonces se enojó y no quería entrar. Así que su padre salió y le rogaba.
28 But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
28 ὠργίσθη δὲ καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν εἰσελθεῖν. ὁ οὖν πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐξελθὼν παρεκάλει αὐτόν.
29 Él respondió: Mira, padre, te he servido muchos años como esclavo y jamás te desobedecí, y nunca me diste un cabrito para disfrutarlo con mis amigos,
29 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.
29 ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπε τῷ πατρί· ἰδοὺ τοσαῦτα ἔτη δουλεύω σοι καὶ οὐδέποτε ἐντολήν σου παρῆλθον, καὶ ἐμοὶ οὐδέποτε ἔδωκας ἔριφον ἵνα μετὰ τῶν φίλων μου εὐφρανθῶ·
30 pero cuando vino este hijo tuyo quien consumió tu hacienda con prostitutas, le mataste el becerro gordo.
30 But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
30 ὅτε δὲ ὁ υἱός σου οὗτος, ὁ καταφαγών σου τὸν βίον μετὰ πορνῶν, ἦλθεν, ἔθυσας αὐτῷ τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν.
31 Entonces él le contestó: Hijo, tú siempre estás conmigo, y todas mis cosas son tuyas.
31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
31 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· τέκνον, σὺ πάντοτε μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ εἶ, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐμὰ σά ἐστιν·
32 Pero era necesario regocijarnos, porque este hermano tuyo estaba muerto y revivió, estaba perdido y se halló.
32 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.’”
32 εὐφρανθῆναι δὲ καὶ χαρῆναι ἔδει, ὅτι ὁ ἀδελφός σου οὗτος νεκρὸς ἦν καὶ ἀνέζησε, καὶ ἀπολωλὼς ἦν καὶ εὑρέθη.

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 …
