Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
Were now to Him drawing near all the tax collectors and the sinners to hear Him.
2 So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats 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 Jesus told them this parable:
He spoke then to them parable this saying;
4 “What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds 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 finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
And having found [it] he lays [it] on the shoulders (of him *N+kO) rejoicing,
6 comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
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 In the same way, I tell you that there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent.
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 Or what woman who has ten silver coins and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her house, and search carefully until she finds 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+kO) she may find?
9 And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’
And having found [it] (she calls together *N+kO) the friends and neighbours saying; do rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma that I lost.
10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
Thus I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner repenting.
11 Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
He said then; A man certain had two sons.
12 The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
And said the younger of them to the father; Father, do give to me what is due [to me] portion of the property. (then *N+kO) he divided between them the property.
13 After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.
And after not many days having gathered together (all [things] *N+kO) the younger son went away into a country distant and there he wasted the estate of him living prodigally.
14 After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
When was spending however he everything there arose a famine (severe *N+kO) throughout the country that, and he himself began to be in need.
15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
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 He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
And he was longing (to be fed *N+kO) (the *ko) (stomach of him *KO) (from *N+kO) the pods that were eating the pigs, and no [one] was giving to him.
17 Finally he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food? But here I am, starving to death!
To himself however having come (he was saying; *N+kO) How many hired servants of the father of mine (have abundance *N+kO) of bread, I myself however with hunger (here *NO) am perishing!
18 I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
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 I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
(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 he got up and went to his father. But while he was still in the distance, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him, 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 The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
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 But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
Said then the father to the servants of him; (Quickly *NO) do bring out robe the best and do clothe him and do give a ring for the hand of him and sandals for [his] feet,
23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
and (do bring *N+kO) the calf fattened, do kill [it], and having eaten let us be merry,
24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
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 Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
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 So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
And having called near one of the servants (of him *k) he was inquiring what (maybe *no) would be these things.
27 ‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back 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 The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
He was angry however and not he was willing to go in. (And *N+KO) the father of him having gone he was begging him.
29 But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate 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 son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
When however the son of you this the [one] having devoured your living with prostitutes came, you have killed for him the fattened calf.
31 ‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
And he said to him; Son, you yourself always with me are, and all that [is] mine yours is.
32 But it was fitting to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
To make merry however and to rejoice it was fitting, because the brother of you this dead was and (is alive, *N+KO) and having been lost (was *k) and is found.
