3 And he made a story for them, saying,

4 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if one of them gets loose and goes away, will not let the ninety-nine be in the waste land by themselves, and go after the wandering one, till he sees where it is?

5 And when he has got it again, he takes it in his arms with joy.

6 And when he gets back to his house, he sends for his neighbours and friends, saying to them, Be glad with me, for I have got back my sheep which had gone away.

7 I say to you that even so there will be more joy in heaven when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing, than for ninety-nine good men, who have no need of a change of heart.

3 耶稣就对他们讲了这个比喻， 说：

4 "你们中间谁有一百只羊， 失去一只， 不把九十九只留下在旷野， 去寻找那失落的， 直到找着呢？

5 既找着了， 就欢欢喜喜地放在肩上，

6 回到家里， 请朋友邻舍来， 对他们说： ‘请大家和我一同欢乐， 因为我失去的羊已经找到了！ ’

7 我告诉你们， 因为一个罪人悔改， 天上也要这样为他欢乐， 比为九十九个不用悔改的义人欢乐更大。
