Luke 15

New Century Version NCV

1 The tax collectors and sinners all came to listen to Jesus.

2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to complain: "Look, this man welcomes sinners and even eats with them."

3 Then Jesus told them this story:

4 "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep but loses one of them. Then he will leave the other ninety-nine sheep in the open field and go out and look for the lost sheep until he finds it.

5 And when he finds it, he happily puts it on his shoulders

6 and goes home. He calls to his friends and neighbors and says, 'Be happy with me because I found my lost sheep.'

7 In the same way, I tell you there is more joy in heaven over one sinner who changes his heart and life, than over ninety-nine good people who don't need to change.

8 "Suppose a woman has ten silver coins, but loses one. She will light a lamp, sweep the house, and look carefully for the coin until she finds it.

9 And when she finds it, she will call her friends and neighbors and say, 'Be happy with me because I have found the coin that I lost.'

10 In the same way, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God when one sinner changes his heart and life."

11 Then Jesus said, "A man had two sons.

12 The younger son said to his father, 'Give me my share of the property.' So the father divided the property between his two sons.

13 Then the younger son gathered up all that was his and traveled far away to another country. There he wasted his money in foolish living.

14 After he had spent everything, a time came when there was no food anywhere in the country, and the son was poor and hungry.

15 So he got a job with one of the citizens there who sent the son into the fields to feed pigs.

16 The son was so hungry that he wanted to eat the pods the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

17 When he realized what he was doing, he thought, 'All of my father's servants have plenty of food. But I am here, almost dying with hunger.

18 I will leave and return to my father and say to him, "Father, I have sinned against God and have done wrong to you.

19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son, but let me be like one of your servants."'

20 So the son left and went to his father. "While the son was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt sorry for his son. So the father ran to him and hugged and kissed him.

21 The son said, 'Father, I have sinned against God and have done wrong to you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

22 But the father said to his servants, 'Hurry! Bring the best clothes and put them on him. Also, put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

23 And get our fat calf and kill it so we can have a feast and celebrate.

24 My son was dead, but now he is alive again! He was lost, but now he is found!' So they began to celebrate.

25 "The older son was in the field, and as he came closer to the house, he heard the sound of music and dancing.

26 So he called to one of the servants and asked what all this meant.

27 The servant said, 'Your brother has come back, and your father killed the fat calf, because your brother came home safely.'

28 The older son was angry and would not go in to the feast. So his father went out and begged him to come in.

29 But the older son said to his father, 'I have served you like a slave for many years and have always obeyed your commands. But you never gave me even a young goat to have at a feast with my friends.

30 But your other son, who wasted all your money on prostitutes, comes home, and you kill the fat calf for him!'

31 The father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.

32 We had to celebrate and be happy because your brother was dead, but now he is alive. He was lost, but now he is found.'"

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 erant autem adpropinquantes ei publicani et peccatores ut audirent illum

2 et murmurabant Pharisaei et scribae dicentes quia hic peccatores recipit et manducat cum illis

3 et ait ad illos parabolam istam dicens

4 quis ex vobis homo qui habet centum oves et si perdiderit unam ex illis nonne dimittit nonaginta novem in deserto et vadit ad illam quae perierat donec inveniat illam

5 et cum invenerit eam inponit in umeros suos gaudens

6 et veniens domum convocat amicos et vicinos dicens illis congratulamini mihi quia inveni ovem meam quae perierat

7 dico vobis quod ita gaudium erit in caelo super uno peccatore paenitentiam habente quam super nonaginta novem iustis qui non indigent paenitentia

8 aut quae mulier habens dragmas decem si perdiderit dragmam unam nonne accendit lucernam et everrit domum et quaerit diligenter donec inveniat

9 et cum invenerit convocat amicas et vicinas dicens congratulamini mihi quia inveni dragmam quam perdideram

10 ita dico vobis gaudium erit coram angelis Dei super uno peccatore paenitentiam agente

11 ait autem homo quidam habuit duos filios

12 et dixit adulescentior ex illis patri pater da mihi portionem substantiae quae me contingit et divisit illis substantiam

13 et non post multos dies congregatis omnibus adulescentior filius peregre profectus est in regionem longinquam et ibi dissipavit substantiam suam vivendo luxuriose

14 et postquam omnia consummasset facta est fames valida in regione illa et ipse coepit egere

15 et abiit et adhesit uni civium regionis illius et misit illum in villam suam ut pasceret porcos

16 et cupiebat implere ventrem suum de siliquis quas porci manducabant et nemo illi dabat

17 in se autem reversus dixit quanti mercennarii patris mei abundant panibus ego autem hic fame pereo

18 surgam et ibo ad patrem meum et dicam illi pater peccavi in caelum et coram te

19 et iam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus fac me sicut unum de mercennariis tuis

20 et surgens venit ad patrem suum cum autem adhuc longe esset vidit illum pater ipsius et misericordia motus est et adcurrens cecidit supra collum eius et osculatus est illum

21 dixitque ei filius pater peccavi in caelum et coram te iam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus

22 dixit autem pater ad servos suos cito proferte stolam primam et induite illum et date anulum in manum eius et calciamenta in pedes

23 et adducite vitulum saginatum et occidite et manducemus et epulemur

24 quia hic filius meus mortuus erat et revixit perierat et inventus est et coeperunt epulari

25 erat autem filius eius senior in agro et cum veniret et adpropinquaret domui audivit symphoniam et chorum

26 et vocavit unum de servis et interrogavit quae haec essent

27 isque dixit illi frater tuus venit et occidit pater tuus vitulum saginatum quia salvum illum recepit

28 indignatus est autem et nolebat introire pater ergo illius egressus coepit rogare illum

29 at ille respondens dixit patri suo ecce tot annis servio tibi et numquam mandatum tuum praeterii et numquam dedisti mihi hedum ut cum amicis meis epularer

30 sed postquam filius tuus hic qui devoravit substantiam suam cum meretricibus venit occidisti illi vitulum saginatum

31 at ipse dixit illi fili tu semper mecum es et omnia mea tua sunt

32 epulari autem et gaudere oportebat quia frater tuus hic mortuus erat et revixit perierat et inventus est
