Luke 15
1 Then all the tax collectors and ‘sinners’ were getting close to Him to hear Him.
Were now to Him drawing near all the tax collectors and the sinners to hear Him.
2 Well the Pharisees and the scribes started complaining, saying, “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 So He told them this parable, saying:
He spoke then to them parable this saying;
4 “What man among you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not abandon the ninety-nine in the wild and go after the lost one 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 upon finding it he joyfully puts it on his shoulders.
And having found [it] he lays [it] on the shoulders (of him *N+kO) rejoicing,
6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that 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 to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who have no need of repentance.
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 having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the 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 saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I lost!’
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 Just so, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Thus I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner repenting.
11 Then He said: “A certain man had two sons.
He said then; A man certain had two sons.
12 And the younger one said to the father, ‘Father, give me the appropriate share of the estate.’ So he divided the 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 Not many days later the younger son, having converted it all, journeyed to a distant country; and there he squandered his wealth living dissolutely.
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 But when he had spent it all, there was a severe famine throughout 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 Then he went and attached himself to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed 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 would gladly have filled his stomach with the carob pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
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 But when he came to himself he said: ‘How many of my father's hired servants have an abundance of bread, while I am dying of hunger!
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 to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and before 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 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as 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 own father. But while he was still a good ways off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion—he ran and fell on his neck 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 Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and 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 slaves: ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand 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 And bring in and kill the fatted calf, and let us eat and celebrate;
and (do bring *N+kO) the calf fattened, do kill [it], and having eaten let us be merry,
24 because this son of mine was dead and came to life; 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 “Now his older son was in the field; and as he came approaching 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 these things meant.
And having called near one of the servants (of him *k) he was inquiring what (maybe *no) would be these things.
27 He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received 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 So he became angry and refused to go in. Then his father came out and began to plead 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 in answer he said to the father: ‘Just look at how many years I have been serving you without ever transgressing your commandment; yet you never gave me even a young goat that I might 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 came, who has devoured your livelihood with prostitutes, you killed the fatted 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 So he said to him: ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have 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 right that we celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and came to life; 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.
