잃은 아들을 되찾은 아버지 비유

• 11또 이르시되 어떤 사람에게 두 아들이 있는데
• 12그 둘째가 아버지에게 말하되 아버지여 재산 중에서 내게 돌아올 분깃을 내게 주소서 하는지라 아버지가 그 살림을 각각 나눠 주었더니
• 13그 후 며칠이 안 되어 둘째 아들이 재물을 다 모아 가지고 먼 나라에 가 거기서 허랑방탕하여 그 재산을 낭비하더니
• 14다 없앤 후 그 나라에 크게 흉년이 들어 그가 비로소 궁핍한지라
• 15가서 그 나라 백성 중 한 사람에게 붙여 사니 그가 그를 들로 보내어 돼지를 치게 하였는데
• 16그가 돼지 먹는 쥐엄 열매로 배를 채우고자 하되 주는 자가 없는지라
• 17이에 스스로 돌이켜 이르되 내 아버지에게는 양식이 풍족한 품꾼이 얼마나 많은가 나는 여기서 주려 죽는구나
• 18내가 일어나 아버지께 가서 이르기를 아버지 내가 하늘과 아버지께 죄를 지었사오니
• 19지금부터는 아버지의 아들이라 일컬음을 감당하지 못하겠나이다 나를 품꾼의 하나로 보소서 하리라 하고
• 20이에 일어나서 아버지께로 돌아가니라 아직도 거리가 먼데 아버지가 그를 보고 측은히 여겨 달려가 목을 안고 입을 맞추니
• 21아들이 이르되 아버지 내가 하늘과 아버지께 죄를 지었사오니 지금부터는 아버지의 아들이라 일컬음을 감당하지 못하겠나이다 하나
• 22아버지는 종들에게 이르되 제일 좋은 옷을 내어다가 입히고 손에 가락지를 끼우고 발에 신을 신기라
• 23그리고 살진 송아지를 끌어다가 잡으라 우리가 먹고 즐기자
• 24이 내 아들은 죽었다가 다시 살아났으며 내가 잃었다가 다시 얻었노라 하니 그들이 즐거워하더라

• 11Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons.
• 12The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
• 13“Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living.
• 14After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need.
• 15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
• 16He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
• 17“When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!
• 18I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
• 19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’
• 20So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
• 21“The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
• 22“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
• 23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.
• 24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
