Luke 15
1 Then resorted vnto him all the Publicanes and sinners, to heare him.
Were now to Him drawing near all the tax collectors and the sinners to hear Him.
2 Therefore the Pharises and Scribes murmured, saying, Hee receiueth sinners, and eateth with them.
And were grumbling the (both *no*) Pharisees and the scribes saying that This [man] sinners receives and he eats with them.
3 Then spake hee this parable to them, saying,
He spoke then to them parable this saying;
4 What man of you hauing an hundreth sheepe, if hee lose one of them, doeth not leaue ninetie and nine in the wildernesse, and goe after that which is lost, vntill he finde it?
What man of you having a hundred sheep and (having lost *NK(o)*) of them one not leaves the ninety nine in the open field and goes after the [one] having been lost until he may find it?
5 And when he hath found it, he laieth it on his shoulders with ioye.
And having found [it] he lays [it] on the shoulders (of him *N(k)O*) rejoicing,
6 And when he commeth home, he calleth together his friendes and neighbours, saying vnto them, Reioyce with mee: for I haue founde my sheepe which was lost.
And having come to the house he calls together the friends and the neighbours saying to them; do rejoice with me, for I have found the sheep of mine the [one] having been lost!
7 I say vnto you, that likewise ioy shall be in heauen for one sinner that conuerteth, more then for ninetie and nine iust men, which neede none amendment of life.
I say to you that in the same way joy in heaven there will be over one sinner repenting rather than over ninety nine righteous ones who no need have of repentance.
8 Either what woman hauing ten groates, if she lose one groate, doth not light a candle, and sweepe the house, and seeke diligently till shee finde it?
Or what woman drachmas having ten, if she may lose drachma one, surely she lights a lamp and she sweeps the house and she seeks carefully until (it *N(k)O*) she may find?
9 And when shee hath found it, shee calleth her friendes, and neighbours, saying, Reioyce with me: for I haue found the groate which I had lost.
And having found [it] (she calls together *N(k)O*) the friends and (*k*) neighbours saying; do rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma that I lost.
10 Likewise I say vnto you, there is ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, for one sinner that conuerteth.
Thus I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner repenting.
11 He sayde moreouer, A certaine man had two sonnes.
He said then; A man certain had two sons.
12 And the yonger of them sayde to his father, Father, giue mee the portion of the goods that falleth to mee. So he deuided vnto them his substance.
And said the younger of them to the father; Father, do give to me what is due [to me] portion of the property. (*no*) (then *N(k)O*) he divided between them the property.
13 So not many daies after, when the yonger sonne had gathered all together, hee tooke his iourney into a farre countrey, and there hee wasted his goods with riotous liuing.
And after not many days having gathered together (all [things] *N(k)O*) the younger son went away into a country distant and there he wasted the estate of him living prodigally.
14 Nowe when hee had spent all, there arose a great dearth throughout that land, and he began to be in necessitie.
When was spending however he everything there arose a famine (severe *N(k)O*) throughout the country that, and he himself began to be in need.
15 Then hee went and claue to a citizen of that conntrey, and hee sent him to his farme, to feede swine.
And having gone he joined himself to one of the citizens the country of that, and he sent him into the fields of him to feed pigs.
16 And hee would faine haue filled his bellie with the huskes, that the swine ate: but no man gaue them him.
And he was longing (to be fed *N(k)O*) (the *ko*) (stomach of him *KO*) (from *N(k)O*) the pods that were eating the pigs, and no [one] was giving to him.
17 Then he came to him selfe, and said, Howe many hired seruaunts at my fathers haue bread ynough, and I die for hunger?
To himself however having come (he was saying; *N(k)O*) How many hired servants of the father of mine (have abundance *N(k)O*) of bread, I myself however with hunger (here *NO*) am perishing!
18 I wil rise and goe to my father, and say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heaue, and before thee,
Having risen up I will go to the father of mine and I will say to him; Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you;
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants.
(and *k*) no longer no longer am I worthy to be called son of you. do make me like one of the servants of you.
20 So hee arose and came to his father, and when hee was yet a great way off, his father sawe him, and had compassion, and ranne and fell on his necke, and kissed him.
And having risen up he went to the father (of himself *NK(o)*) Still now he far being distant he saw him the father of him and was moved with compassion, and having run he fell upon the neck of him and he kissed him.
21 And the sonne sayde vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen, and before thee, and am no more worthie to be called thy sonne.
Said then the son to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; (and *k*) no longer no longer am I worthy to be called son of you (do make me as one of the servants of you. *O*)
22 Then the father said to his seruaunts, Bring foorth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feete,
Said then the father to the servants of him; (Quickly *NO*) do bring out (*k*) robe the best and do clothe him and do give a ring for the hand of him and sandals for [his] feet,
23 And bring the fat calfe, and kill him, and let vs eate, and be merie:
and (do bring *N(k)O*) the calf fattened, do kill [it], and having eaten let us be merry,
24 For this my sonne was dead, and is aliue againe: and he was lost, but he is found. And they began to be merie.
For this the son of mine dead was and is alive again, (and *k*) he was having been lost and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 Nowe the elder brother was in the fielde, and when he came and drewe neere to the house, he heard melodie, and dauncing,
Was now the son of him the elder in [the] field. and while coming [up] he drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 And called one of his seruaunts, and asked what those things meant.
And having called near one of the servants (of him *k*) he was inquiring what (maybe *no*) would be these things.
27 And hee sayde vnto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatte calfe, because he hath receiued him safe and sound.
And he said to him that The brother of you is come, and has killed the father of you the calf fattened, because in good health him he has received.
28 Then he was angry, and would not goe in: therefore came his father out and entreated him.
He was angry however and not he was willing to go in. (And *N(K)O*) the father of him having gone he was begging him.
29 But he answered and said to his father, Loe, these many yeeres haue I done thee seruice, neither brake I at any time thy commadement, and yet thou neuer gauest mee a kidde that I might make merie with my friends.
And answering he said to the [the] father of him; Behold so many years I serve you and never a commandment of you I disobeyed, and to me myself never did you give a young goat that with the friends of mine I may make merry.
30 But when this thy sonne was come, which hath deuoured thy good with harlots, thou hast for his sake killed the fat calfe.
When however the son of you this the [one] having devoured your living with (*o*) prostitutes came, you have killed for him the fattened (*k*) calf.
31 And he said vnto him, Sonne, thou art euer with me, and al that I haue, is thine.
And he said to him; Son, you yourself always with me are, and all that [is] mine yours is.
32 It was meete that we shoulde make merie, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is aliue againe: and hee was lost, but he is found.
To make merry however and to rejoice it was fitting, because the brother of you this dead was and (is alive, *N(K)O*) and having been lost (was *k*) and is found.
