4b Does he not leave the ninety-nine [sheep] in the field and go in search of the lost sheep until he finds it?
4b ¿No deja las noventa y nueve en el campo y va en busca de la oveja perdida hasta encontrarla?
9b “Rejoice with me; I have finally found the coin that had been lost to me”.
9b “Alégrense conmigo; ya encontré la moneda que se me había perdido”.
12b “Father, give me my portion of the inheritance.”
12b “Papá, dame lo que me toca de la herencia.”
14 [Referring to ‘the money’ and ‘a distant country’] After he had spent it all, a severe famine came upon that region, and he began to be in need.
14 Cuando ya lo había gastado todo, sobrevino una gran escasez en la región y él comenzó a pasar necesidad.
16 He was so hungry that he would have liked to fill his stomach with the food they were giving to the pigs, but even so no one gave him anything.
16 Tanta hambre tenía que hubiera querido llenarse el estómago con la comida que daban a los cerdos, pero aun así nadie le daba nada.

16 Tanta hambre tenía que hubiera querido llenarse el estómago con la comida que daban a los cerdos, pero aun así nadie le daba nada.
17 Finally he came to his senses and said to himself:
17 Por fin recapacitó y se dijo
19 I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as if I were one of your day labourers.
19 Ya no merezco que se me llame tu hijo; trátame como si fuera uno de tus jornaleros.
20b He was still a long way off when his father saw him and felt compassion for him; he ran out to meet him, embraced him, and kissed him.
20b Todavía estaba lejos cuando su padre lo vio y se compadeció de él; salió corriendo a su encuentro, lo abrazó y lo besó.
24 For this son of mine was dead, but now has come back to life; he had been lost, but has been found.
24 Porque este hijo mío estaba muerto, pero ahora ha vuelto a la vida; se había perdido, pero ha sido hallado.
28b So his father went out and pleaded with him to do it [enter the house].
28b Así que su padre salió a suplicarle que lo hiciera.
