11 또 가라사대 어떤 사람이 두 아들이 있는데

12 그 둘째가 아비에게 말하되 아버지여 재산 중에서 내게 돌아올 분깃을 내게 주소서 하는지라 아비가 그 살림을 각각 나눠 주었더니

13 그 후 며칠이 못되어 둘째 아들이 재산을 다 모아 가지고 먼 나라에 가 거기서 허랑방탕하여 그 재산을 허비하더니

14 다 없이한 후 그 나라에 크게 흉년이 들어 저가 비로소 궁핍한지라

15 가서 그 나라 백성 중 하나에게 붙여 사니 그가 저를 들로 보내어 돼지를 치게 하였는데

16 저가 돼지 먹는 쥐엄 열매로 배을 채우고자 하되 주는 자가 없는지라

17 이에 스스로 돌이켜 가로되 내 아버지에게는 양식이 풍족한 품군이 얼마나 많은고 나는 여기서 주려 죽는구나

18 내가 일어나 아버지께 가서 이르기를 아버지여 내가 하늘과 아버지께 죄를 얻었사오니

19 지금부터는 아버지의 아들이라 일컬음을 감당치 못하겠나이다 나를 품군의 하나로 보소서 하리라 하고

20 이에 일어나서 아버지께 돌아 가니라 아직도 상거가 먼데 아버지가 저를 보고 측은히 여겨 달려가 목을 안고 입을 맞추니

21 아들이 가로되 아버지여 내가 하늘과 아버지께 죄를 얻었사오니 지금부터는 아버지의 아들이라 일컬음을 감당치 못하겠나이다 하나

22 아버지는 종들에게 이르되 제일 좋은 옷을 내어다가 입히고 손에 가락지를 끼우고 발에 신을 신기라

23 그리고 살진 송아지를 끌어다가 잡으라 우리가 먹고 즐기자

24 이 내 아들을 죽었다가 다시 살아났으며 내가 잃었다가 다시 얻었노라 하니 저희가 즐거워하더라

25 맏아들은 밭에 있다가 돌아와 집에 가까왔을 때에 풍류와 춤추는 소리를 듣고

26 한 종을 불러 이 무슨 일인가 물은대

27 대답하되 당신의 동생이 돌아왔으매 당신의 아버지가 그의 건강한 몸을 다시 맞아 들이게 됨을 인하여 살진 송아지를 잡았나이다 하니

28 저가 노하여 들어가기를 즐겨 아니하거늘 아버지가 나와서 권한대

29 아버지께 대답하여 가로되 내가 여러 해 아버지를 섬겨 명을 어김이 없거늘 내게는 염소 새끼라도 주어 나와 내 벗으로 즐기게 하신 일이 없더니

30 아버지의 살림을 창기와 함께 먹어버린 이 아들이 돌아오매 이를 위하여 살진 송아지를 잡으셨나이다

31 아버지가 이르되 얘 너는 항상 나와 함께 있으니 내 것이 다 네 것이로되

32 이 네 동생은 죽었다가 살았으며 내가 잃었다가 얻었기로 우리가 즐거워하고 기뻐하는 것이 마땅하다' 하니라

11 And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish here with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: 19 I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20 And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23 and bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry: 24 for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might be. 27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. 28 But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father came out, and entreated him. 29 But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine; and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: 30 but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf. 31 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine. 32 But it was meet to make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
