< Luke 15 >

1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
Were now to Him drawing near all the tax collectors and the sinners to hear Him.
2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
And were grumbling the (both *no) Pharisees and the scribes saying that This [man] sinners receives and he eats with them.
3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
He spoke then to them parable this saying;
4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find 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 hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
And having found [it] he lays [it] on the shoulders (of him *N+kO) rejoicing,
6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which 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 unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no 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 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find 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 hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had 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 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Thus I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner repenting.
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
He said then; A man certain had two sons.
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
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 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous 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 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
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 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
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 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
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 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with 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 arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
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 am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy 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 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and 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 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy 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, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes 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 hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
and (do bring *N+kO) the calf fattened, do kill [it], and having eaten let us be merry,
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
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 elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick 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 And 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 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him 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 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated 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 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry 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 as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
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 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
And he said to him; Son, you yourself always with me are, and all that [is] mine yours is.
32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and 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.
