Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
ησαν δε εγγιζοντεσ αυτω παντεσ οι τελωναι και οι αμαρτωλοι ακουειν αυτου
2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
και διεγογγυζον οι φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεισ λεγοντεσ οτι ουτοσ αμαρτωλουσ προσδεχεται και συνεσθιει αυτοισ
3 He told them this parable:
ειπεν δε προσ αυτουσ την παραβολην ταυτην λεγων
4 “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found 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 ευρη αυτο
5 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
και ευρων επιτιθησιν επι τουσ ωμουσ εαυτου χαιρων
6 When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his 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
7 I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people 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, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
η τισ γυνη δραχμασ εχουσα δεκα εαν απολεση δραχμην μιαν ουχι απτει λυχνον και σαροι την οικιαν και ζητει επιμελωσ εωσ οτου ευρη
9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’
και ευρουσα συγκαλειται τασ φιλασ και τασ γειτονασ λεγουσα συγχαρητε μοι οτι ευρον την δραχμην ην απωλεσα
10 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of 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, “A certain man had two sons.
ειπεν δε ανθρωποσ τισ ειχεν δυο υιουσ
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
και ειπεν ο νεωτεροσ αυτων τω πατρι πατερ δοσ μοι το επιβαλλον μεροσ τησ ουσιασ και διειλεν αυτοισ τον βιον
13 Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
και μετ ου πολλασ ημερασ συναγαγων απαντα ο νεωτεροσ υιοσ απεδημησεν εισ χωραν μακραν και εκει διεσκορπισεν την ουσιαν αυτου ζων ασωτωσ
14 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
δαπανησαντοσ δε αυτου παντα εγενετο λιμοσ ισχυροσ κατα την χωραν εκεινην και αυτοσ ηρξατο υστερεισθαι
15 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
και πορευθεισ εκολληθη ενι των πολιτων τησ χωρασ εκεινησ και επεμψεν αυτον εισ τουσ αγρουσ αυτου βοσκειν χοιρουσ
16 He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
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 hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!
εισ εαυτον δε ελθων ειπεν ποσοι μισθιοι του πατροσ μου περισσευουσιν αρτων εγω δε λιμω απολλυμαι
18 I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
αναστασ πορευσομαι προσ τον πατερα μου και ερω αυτω πατερ ημαρτον εισ τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου
19 I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
και ουκετι ειμι αξιοσ κληθηναι υιοσ σου ποιησον με ωσ ενα των μισθιων σου
20 “He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, 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
21 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I 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. 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
23 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
και ενεγκαντεσ τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον θυσατε και φαγοντεσ ευφρανθωμεν
24 for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
οτι ουτοσ ο υιοσ μου νεκροσ ην και ανεζησεν και απολωλωσ ην και ευρεθη και ηρξαντο ευφραινεσθαι
25 “Now his elder son was in the field. As he came 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 He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
και προσκαλεσαμενοσ ενα των παιδων επυνθανετο τι ειη ταυτα
27 He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
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 begged him.
ωργισθη δε και ουκ ηθελεν εισελθειν ο ουν πατηρ αυτου εξελθων παρεκαλει αυτον
29 But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate 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
30 But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
οτε δε ο υιοσ σου ουτοσ ο καταφαγων σου τον βιον μετα πορνων ηλθεν εθυσασ αυτω τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον
31 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
ο δε ειπεν αυτω τεκνον συ παντοτε μετ εμου ει και παντα τα εμα σα εστιν
32 But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
ευφρανθηναι δε και χαρηναι εδει οτι ο αδελφοσ σου ουτοσ νεκροσ ην και ανεζησεν και απολωλωσ ην και ευρεθη
