¹Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

¹A približovali sa k nemu všetci publikáni a hriešnici, aby ho počuli.

²And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

²A farizeovia a zákonníci reptali a vraveli: Tento prijíma hriešnikov a jie s nimi.

³And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

³A on im povedal toto podobenstvo a riekol:

⁴What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

⁴Kto z vás je taký človek, ktorý má sto oviec a keď ztratí jednu z nich nezanechá tých deväťdesiatdeväť na púšti a nejde za tou ztratenou, dokiaľ jej nenajde?

⁵And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

⁵A keď najde, vezme na svoje plecia a raduje sa.

⁶And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

⁶A keď prijde domov, svolá priateľov a súsedov a povie im: Radujte sa so mnou, lebo som našiel svoju ovcu, ktorá sa bola ztratila.

⁷I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

⁷Hovorím vám, že tak bude radosť v nebi nad jedným hriešnikom, činiacim pokánie, väčšia ako nad deväťdesiatdeväť spravedlivými, ktorí nepotrebujú pokánia.

⁸Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?

⁸Alebo ktorá žena, ktorá má desať grošov, keby ztratila jeden groš, nezažne sviece a nezametá domu a nehľadá bedlive, dokiaľ nenajde?

⁹And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.

⁹A keď najde, svolá priateľky a súsedy a povie: Radujte sa so mnou, lebo som našla groš, ktorý som bola ztratila.

¹⁰Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

¹⁰Tak, hovorím vám, býva radosť pred anjelmi Božími nad jedným hriešnikom, činiacim pokánie.

¹¹And he said, A certain man had two sons:

¹¹A povedal: Nejaký človek mal dvoch synov.

¹²And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

¹²A mladší z nich povedal otcovi: Otče, daj mi pripádajúci diel imania! A on im rozdelil majetok.

¹³And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

¹³A po nie mnohých dňoch shromaždil všetko ten mladší syn a odcestoval do ďalekej krajiny. A tam rozmrhal svoje imanie žijúc prostopašne.

¹⁴And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

¹⁴Keď potom všetko strovil, nastal veliký hlad v tej krajine, a on začal trpieť núdzou.

¹⁵And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

¹⁵A išiel a pripojil sa ktorémusi z občanov tej krajiny, a ten ho poslal na svoje polia pásť svine.

¹⁶And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

¹⁶A žiadal si môcť naplniť svoje brucho mlátom, ktoré žraly svine, ale mu ho nikto nedával.

¹⁷And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

¹⁷No, potom vstúpil do seba a povedal: Koľko nájomníkov mojeho otca má hojnosť chleba, a ja tu hyniem hladom!

¹⁸I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

¹⁸Vstanem a pojdem k svojmu Otcovi a poviem mu: Otče, zhrešil som proti nebu i pred tebou,

¹⁹And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

¹⁹takže už viacej nie som hoden volať sa tvojím synom; učiň ma jako jedného zo svojich nájomníkov.

²⁰And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

²⁰A vstal a prišiel k svojmu otcovi. A ešte keď bol ďaleko, uvidel ho jeho otec a bol pohnutý milosrdenstvom. A bežal a padol mu okolo krku a bozkával ho.

²¹And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

²¹A syn mu povedal: Otče, zhrešil som proti nebu i pred tebou a nie som viacej hoden volať sa tvojím synom.

²²But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

²²Vtedy povedal otec svojim sluhom: Vyneste rýchle to prvé rúcho a oblečte ho a dajte prsteň na jeho ruku a sandále na nohy

²³And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

²³a doveďte to krmné teľa a zabite, a jedzme a veseľme sa,

²⁴For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

²⁴lebo tento môj syn bol mŕtvy a ožil; bol ztratený a našiel sa. A začali sa veseliť.

²⁵Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

²⁵A jeho starší syn bol na poli. A jako tak išiel a priblížil sa domu, počul hudbu a kolotanec.

²⁶And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

²⁶A zavolajúc si ktoréhosi zo sluhov vypytoval sa, čo je to.

²⁷And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

²⁷A on mu povedal: Tvoj brat prišiel, a tvoj otec zabil to krmné teľa, že ho zdravého prijal.

²⁸And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

²⁸A on sa nahneval a nechcel vojsť. Vtedy vyšiel jeho otec a prosil ho.

²⁹And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

²⁹Ale on odpovedal a riekol svojmu otcovi: Hľa, tak mnoho rokov ti slúžim a nikdy som neprestúpil tvojho prikázania, a mne si nikdy nedal ani len kozľaťa, aby som sa poveselil so svojimi priateľmi.

³⁰But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

³⁰No, keď prišiel tento tvoj syn, ktorý so smilnicami prežral tvoj majetok, zabil si mu to krmné teľa.

³¹And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

³¹A on povedal: Dieťa, ty si vždycky so mnou, a všetko moje je tvoje;

³²It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

³²ale veseliť a radovať sa patrilo, lebo tento tvoj brat bol mŕtvy a ožil, bol ztratený a našiel sa.
