아버지의 은혜를 잊은 맏아들

• 25맏아들은 밭에 있다가 돌아와 집에 가까이 왔을 때에 풍악과 춤추는 소리를 듣고
• 26한 종을 불러 이 무슨 일인가 물은대
• 27대답하되 당신의 동생이 돌아왔으매 당신의 아버지가 건강한 그를 다시 맞아들이게 됨으로 인하여 살진 송아지를 잡았나이다 하니
• 28그가 노하여 들어가고자 하지 아니하거늘 아버지가 나와서 권한대
• 29아버지께 대답하여 이르되 내가 여러 해 아버지를 섬겨 명을 어김이 없거늘 내게는 염소 새끼라도 주어 나와 내 벗으로 즐기게 하신 일이 없더니
• 30아버지의 살림을 창녀들과 함께 삼켜 버린 이 아들이 돌아오매 이를 위하여 살진 송아지를 잡으셨나이다
• 31아버지가 이르되 얘 너는 항상 나와 함께 있으니 내 것이 다 네 것이로되
• 32이 네 동생은 죽었다가 살아났으며 내가 잃었다가 얻었기로 우리가 즐거워하고 기뻐하는 것이 마땅하다 하니라

• 25“Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing.
• 26So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on.
• 27‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
• 28“The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him.
• 29But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
• 30But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
• 31“ ‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.
• 32But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’
