< Luke 15 >
1 Were now to Him drawing near all the tax collectors and the sinners to hear Him.
ησαν δε εγγιζοντες αυτω παντες οι τελωναι και οι αμαρτωλοι ακουειν αυτου
2 And were grumbling the (both *no*) Pharisees and the scribes saying that This [man] sinners receives and he eats with them.
και διεγογγυζον οι φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεις λεγοντες οτι ουτος αμαρτωλους προσδεχεται και συνεσθιει αυτοις
3 He spoke then to them parable this saying;
ειπεν δε προς αυτους την παραβολην ταυτην λεγων
4 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?
τις ανθρωπος εξ υμων εχων εκατον προβατα και απολεσας εν εξ αυτων ου καταλειπει τα εννενηκονταεννεα εν τη ερημω και πορευεται επι το απολωλος εως ευρη αυτο
5 And having found [it] he lays [it] on the shoulders (of him *N(k)O*) rejoicing,
και ευρων επιτιθησιν επι τους ωμους εαυτου χαιρων
6 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!
και ελθων εις τον οικον συγκαλει τους φιλους και τους γειτονας λεγων αυτοις συγχαρητε μοι οτι ευρον το προβατον μου το απολωλος
7 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.
λεγω υμιν οτι ουτως χαρα εσται εν τω ουρανω επι ενι αμαρτωλω μετανοουντι η επι εννενηκονταεννεα δικαιοις οιτινες ου χρειαν εχουσιν μετανοιας
8 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?
η τις γυνη δραχμας εχουσα δεκα εαν απολεση δραχμην μιαν ουχι απτει λυχνον και σαροι την οικιαν και ζητει επιμελως εως οτου ευρη
9 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.
και ευρουσα συγκαλειται τας φιλας και τας γειτονας λεγουσα συγχαρητε μοι οτι ευρον την δραχμην ην απωλεσα
10 Thus I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner repenting.
ουτως λεγω υμιν χαρα γινεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του θεου επι ενι αμαρτωλω μετανοουντι
11 He said then; A man certain had two sons.
ειπεν δε ανθρωπος τις ειχεν δυο υιους
12 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.
και ειπεν ο νεωτερος αυτων τω πατρι πατερ δος μοι το επιβαλλον μερος της ουσιας και διειλεν αυτοις τον βιον
13 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.
και μετ ου πολλας ημερας συναγαγων απαντα ο νεωτερος υιος απεδημησεν εις χωραν μακραν και εκει διεσκορπισεν την ουσιαν αυτου ζων ασωτως
14 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.
δαπανησαντος δε αυτου παντα εγενετο λιμος ισχυρος κατα την χωραν εκεινην και αυτος ηρξατο υστερεισθαι
15 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.
και πορευθεις εκολληθη ενι των πολιτων της χωρας εκεινης και επεμψεν αυτον εις τους αγρους αυτου βοσκειν χοιρους
16 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.
και επεθυμει γεμισαι την κοιλιαν αυτου απο των κερατιων ων ησθιον οι χοιροι και ουδεις εδιδου αυτω
17 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!
εις εαυτον δε ελθων ειπεν ποσοι μισθιοι του πατρος μου περισσευουσιν αρτων εγω δε λιμω απολλυμαι
18 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;
αναστας πορευσομαι προς τον πατερα μου και ερω αυτω πατερ ημαρτον εις τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου
19 (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.
και ουκετι ειμι αξιος κληθηναι υιος σου ποιησον με ως ενα των μισθιων σου
20 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.
και αναστας ηλθεν προς τον πατερα εαυτου ετι δε αυτου μακραν απεχοντος ειδεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου και εσπλαγχνισθη και δραμων επεπεσεν επι τον τραχηλον αυτου και κατεφιλησεν αυτον
21 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*)
ειπεν δε αυτω ο υιος πατερ ημαρτον εις τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου και ουκετι ειμι αξιος κληθηναι υιος σου
22 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,
ειπεν δε ο πατηρ προς τους δουλους αυτου εξενεγκατε την στολην την πρωτην και ενδυσατε αυτον και δοτε δακτυλιον εις την χειρα αυτου και υποδηματα εις τους ποδας
23 and (do bring *N(k)O*) the calf fattened, do kill [it], and having eaten let us be merry,
και ενεγκαντες τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον θυσατε και φαγοντες ευφρανθωμεν
24 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.
οτι ουτος ο υιος μου νεκρος ην και ανεζησεν και απολωλως ην και ευρεθη και ηρξαντο ευφραινεσθαι
25 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.
ην δε ο υιος αυτου ο πρεσβυτερος εν αγρω και ως ερχομενος ηγγισεν τη οικια ηκουσεν συμφωνιας και χορων
26 And having called near one of the servants (of him *k*) he was inquiring what (maybe *no*) would be these things.
και προσκαλεσαμενος ενα των παιδων αυτου επυνθανετο τι ειη ταυτα
27 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.
ο δε ειπεν αυτω οτι ο αδελφος σου ηκει και εθυσεν ο πατηρ σου τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον οτι υγιαινοντα αυτον απελαβεν
28 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.
ωργισθη δε και ουκ ηθελεν εισελθειν ο ουν πατηρ αυτου εξελθων παρεκαλει αυτον
29 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.
ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν τω πατρι ιδου τοσαυτα ετη δουλευω σοι και ουδεποτε εντολην σου παρηλθον και εμοι ουδεποτε εδωκας εριφον ινα μετα των φιλων μου ευφρανθω
30 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.
οτε δε ο υιος σου ουτος ο καταφαγων σου τον βιον μετα πορνων ηλθεν εθυσας αυτω τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον
31 And he said to him; Son, you yourself always with me are, and all that [is] mine yours is.
ο δε ειπεν αυτω τεκνον συ παντοτε μετ εμου ει και παντα τα εμα σα εστιν
32 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.
ευφρανθηναι δε και χαρηναι εδει οτι ο αδελφος σου ουτος νεκρος ην και ανεζησεν και απολωλως ην και ευρεθη
