Luke 15

1Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him.

ησαν δε εγγιζοντες αυτω παντες οι τελωναι και [οι] αμαρτωλοι ακουειν αυτου.

2And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, 'This Man receives sinners and eats with them.'

και διεγογγυζον οι φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεις λεγοντες οτι ουτος αμαρτωλους προσδεχεται και συνεσθιει αυτοις.

3So He spoke this parable to them, saying:

ειπεν δε προς αυτους την παραβολην ταυτην λεγων·

4'What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?

τις ανθρωπος εξ υμων εχων εκατον προβατα, και απολεσας εν εξ αυτων, ου καταλειπει τα ενενηκοντα εννεα εν τη ερημω και πορευεται επι το απολωλος εως ου ευρη αυτο;

5And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

και ευρων επιτιθησιν επι τους ωμους αυτου χαιρων,

6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'

και ελθων εις τον οικον συγκαλει τους φιλους και τους γειτονας λεγων αυτοις· συγχαρητε μοι οτι ευρον το προβατον μου το απολωλος.

7I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

λεγω υμιν οτι ουτως χαρα εσται εν τω ουρανω επι ενι αμαρτωλω μετανοουντι η επι ενενηκοντα εννεα δικαιοις, οιτινες ου χρειαν εχουσιν μετανοιας.

8'Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?

η τις γυνη δραχμας εχουσα δεκα, εαν απολεση δραχμην μιαν, ουχι απτει λυχνον και σαροι την οικιαν και ζητει επιμελως εως οτου ευρη;

9And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!'

και ευρουσα συγκαλει τας φιλας και τας γειτονας λεγουσα· συγχαρητε μοι οτι ευρον την δραχμην ην απωλεσα.

10Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.'

ουτως, λεγω υμιν, χαρα γινεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του θεου επι ενι αμαρτωλω μετανοουντι.

11Then He said: 'A certain man had two sons.

ειπεν δε· ανθρωπος τις ειχεν δυο υιους.

12And the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.' So he divided to them his livelihood.

και ειπεν ο νεωτερος αυτων τω πατρι· πατερ, δος μοι το επιβαλλον μερος της ουσιας. και διειλεν αυτοις τον βιον.

13And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.

και μετ ου πολλας ημερας συναγαγων απαντα ο νεωτερος υιος απεδημησεν εις χωραν μακραν, και εκει διεσκορπισεν την ουσιαν αυτου ζων ασωτως.

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

δαπανησαντος δε αυτου παντα εγενετο λιμος ισχυρος κατα την χωραν εκεινην, και αυτος ηρξατο υστερεισθαι.

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

και πορευθεις εκολληθη ενι των πολιτων της χωρας εκεινης, και επεμψεν αυτον εις τους αγρους αυτου βοσκειν χοιρους.

16And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.

και επεθυμει γεμισαι την κοιλιαν αυτου απο των κερατιων ων ησθιον οι χοιροι, και ουδεις εδιδου αυτω.

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

εις εαυτον δε ελθων ειπεν· ποσοι μισθιοι του πατρος μου περισσευουσιν αρτων, εγω δε λιμω απολλυμαι!

18I will arise and go to my father, and 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·

19and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.' '

ουκετι ειμι αξιος κληθηναι υιος σου· ποιησον με ως ενα των μισθιων σου.

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

και αναστας ηλθεν προς τον πατερα αυτου. ετι δε αυτου μακραν απεχοντος ειδεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου και εσπλαγχνισθη, και δραμων επεπεσεν επι τον τραχηλον αυτου και κατεφιλησεν αυτον.

21And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

ειπεν δε αυτω ο υιος· πατερ, ημαρτον εις τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου, και ουκετι ειμι αξιος κληθηναι υιος σου.

22'But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on 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,

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

και ενεγκαντες τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον θυσατε, και φαγοντες ευφρανθωμεν,

24for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was 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'Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and 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,

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

και προσκαλεσαμενος ενα των παιδων επυνθανετο τι ειη ταυτα.

27And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.'

ο δε ειπεν αυτω οτι ο αδελφος σου ηκει και εθυσεν ο πατηρ σου τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον, οτι υγιαινοντα αυτον απελαβεν.

28'But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him.

ωργισθη δε και ουκ ηθελεν εισελθειν. ο ουν πατηρ αυτου εξελθων παρεκαλει αυτον.

29So he answered and said to his father, 'Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends.

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·

30But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.'

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 are always with me, and all that I have is yours.

ο δε ειπεν αυτω· τεκνον, συ παντοτε μετ εμου ει, και παντα τα εμα σα εστιν·

32It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.' '

ευφρανθηναι δε και χαρηναι εδει, οτι ο αδελφος σου ουτος νεκρος ην και ανεζησεν, και απολωλως ην και ευρεθη.
