路15

路加福音-Luke 第 15 章

15:1	眾稅吏和罪人都挨近耶穌，要聽祂。 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to Him to hear Him.
15:2	法利賽人和經學家紛紛的唧咕議論說，這個人接待罪人，又同他們吃飯。 And both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured among themselves, saying, This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.
15:3	耶穌就對他們講了這個比喻說， And He told them this parable, saying,
15:4	你們中間誰有一百隻羊，失去其中的一隻，不把這九十九隻撇在曠野，去找那失去的，直到找著麼？ Which man of you, who has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?
15:5	找著了，就歡歡喜喜的扛在自己肩上，回到家裏， And when he finds it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
15:6	召齊朋友、鄰舍，對他們說，和我一同歡喜吧，因為我失去的那隻羊已經找著了。 And when he comes into his house, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.
15:7	我告訴你們，一個罪人悔改，在天上也要這樣為他歡喜，比為九十九個不用悔改的義人歡喜更大。 I tell you that in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner repenting than over ninety-nine righteous persons who have no need of repentance.
15:8	或是一個婦人有十個銀幣，若失落一個，豈不點上燈，打掃屋子，細細的找，直到找著麼？ Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one silver coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek carefully until she finds it?
15:9	找著了，就召齊朋友、鄰舍，說，和我一同歡喜吧，因為我失落的那個銀幣已經找著了。 And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost.
15:10	我告訴你們，一個罪人悔改，在神的使者麵前，也是這樣為他歡喜。 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.
15:11	耶穌又說，一個人有兩個兒子。 And He said, A certain man had two sons.
15:12	小的對父親說，父親，請把歸我的那一分家產給我。他父親就把產業分給他們。 And the younger of them said to the father, Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me. And he distributed to them his living.
15:13	過了不多幾日，小兒子就收拾一切，起身往遠方去了，在那裏生活放蕩，揮霍家產。 And not many days after, the younger son, having gathered everything together, went abroad to a distant country and there squandered his estate by living dissolutely.
15:14	既耗盡了一切，又遇著那地方大遭饑荒，就窮乏起來。 And when he had spent all, a severe famine occurred throughout that country, and he began to be in want.
15:15	於是去投靠那地方的一個居民，那人打發他到自己的田裏去放豬。 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed hogs.
15:16	他恨不得拿豬所吃的豆莢充饑，也沒有人給他。 And he longed to be satisfied with the carob pods which the hogs were eating, and no one gave him anything.
15:17	他醒悟過來，就說，我父親有多少的雇工，口糧有餘，我倒在這裏餓死麼？ But when he came to himself, he said, How many of my father's hired servants abound in bread, but I am perishing here in famine!
15:18	我要起來，到我父親那裏去，向他說，父親，我犯罪得罪了天，並得罪了你。 I will rise up and go to my father, and I will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.
15:19	我不配再稱為你的兒子，把我當作一個雇工吧。 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.
15:20	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，跑去抱著他的頸項，熱切的與他親嘴。 And he rose up and came to his own father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him affectionately.
15:21	兒子說，父親，我犯罪得罪了天，並得罪了你。我不配再稱為你的兒子。 And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.
15:22	父親卻吩咐奴仆說，快把那上好的袍子拿出來給他穿，把戒指戴在他手上，把鞋穿在他腳上， But the father said to his slaves, Bring out quickly the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
15:23	把那肥牛犢牽來宰了，讓我們吃喝快樂。 And bring the fattened calf; slaughter it, and let us eat and be merry,
15:24	因為我這個兒子是死而複活，失而又得的。他們就快樂起來。 Because this son of mine was dead and lives again; he was lost and has been found. And they began to be merry.
15:25	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， Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing,
15:26	便叫過一個仆人來，查問是什麼事。 And calling to him one of the servants, he inquired what these things might be.
15:27	仆人說，你兄弟來了，你父親因為得他無災無病的回來，把肥牛犢宰了。 And he said to him, Your brother has come, and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has received him back healthy.
15:28	大兒子就生氣，不肯進去，他父親就出來勸他。 But he became angry and was not willing to enter. And his father came out and entreated him.
15:29	他對父親說，看哪，我像奴仆服事你這麼多年，從來沒有違背過你的命令，你並沒有給我一隻山羊羔，叫我和朋友一同快樂。 But he answered and said to his father, Behold, so many years I have been slaving for you and have never neglected a command of yours, and you have never given me a goat that I might be merry with my friends;
15:30	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。 But when this son of yours came, who devoured your living with harlots, you slaughtered for him the fattened calf.
15:31	父親對他說，孩子，你始終和我同在，我一切所有的都是你的。 And he said to him, Child, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
15:32	隻是你這個兄弟是死而複活，失而又得的，所以我們理當歡喜快樂。 But we had to be merry and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life, and he was lost and has been found.
