Luke 15
1 Were now to Him drawing near all the tax collectors and the sinners to hear Him.
And pupplicans and synful men weren neiyynge to him, to here hym.
2 And were grumbling the (both *no) Pharisees and the scribes saying that This [man] sinners receives and he eats with them.
And the Farisees and scribis grutchiden, seiynge, For this resseyueth synful men, and etith with hem.
3 He spoke then to them parable this saying;
And he spak to hem this parable,
4 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?
and seide, What man of you that hath an hundrith scheep, and if he hath lost oon of hem, whethir he leeueth not nynti and nyne in desert, and goith to it that perischide, til he fynde it?
5 And having found [it] he lays [it] on the shoulders (of him *N+kO) rejoicing,
And whanne he hath foundun it, he ioieth, and leyith it on hise schuldris; and he cometh hoom,
6 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!
and clepith togidir hise freendis and neiyboris, and seith to hem, Be ye glad with me, for Y haue founde my scheep, that hadde perischid.
7 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.
And Y seie to you, so ioye schal be in heuene on o synful man doynge penaunce, more than on nynti and nyne iuste, that han no nede to penaunce.
8 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?
Or what womman hauynge ten besauntis, and if sche hath lost oo besaunt, whether sche teendith not a lanterne, and turneth vpsodoun the hows, and sekith diligentli, til that sche fynde it?
9 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.
And whanne sche hath foundun, sche clepith togidir freendis and neiyboris, and seith, Be ye glad with me, for Y haue founde the besaunt, that Y hadde lost.
10 Thus I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner repenting.
So Y seie to you, ioye schal be bifor aungels of God on o synful man doynge penaunce.
11 He said then; A man certain had two sons.
And he seide, A man hadde twei sones;
12 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.
and the yonger of hem seide to the fadir, Fadir, yyue me the porcioun of catel, that fallith to me. And he departide to hem the catel.
13 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.
And not aftir many daies, whanne alle thingis weren gederid togider, the yonger sone wente forth in pilgrymage in to a fer cuntre; and there he wastide hise goodis in lyuynge lecherously.
14 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.
And aftir that he hadde endid alle thingis, a strong hungre was maad in that cuntre, and he bigan to haue nede.
15 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.
And he wente, and drouy hym to oon of the citeseyns of that cuntre. And he sente hym in to his toun, to fede swyn.
16 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.
And he coueitide to fille his wombe of the coddis that the hoggis eeten, and no man yaf hym.
17 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!
And he turnede ayen to hym silf, and seide, Hou many hirid men in my fadir hous han plente of looues; and Y perische here thorouy hungir.
18 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;
Y schal rise vp, and go to my fadir, and Y schal seie to hym, Fadir, Y haue synned in to heuene, and bifor thee;
19 (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.
and now Y am not worthi to be clepid thi sone, make me as oon of thin hirid men.
20 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.
And he roos vp, and cam to his fadir. And whanne he was yit afer, his fadir saiy hym, and was stirrid bi mercy. And he ran, and fel on his necke, and kisside hym.
21 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)
And the sone seide to hym, Fadir, Y haue synned in to heuene, and bifor thee; and now Y am not worthi to be clepid thi sone.
22 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,
And the fadir seide to hise seruauntis, Swithe brynge ye forth the firste stoole, and clothe ye hym, and yyue ye a ryng in his hoond,
23 and (do bring *N+kO) the calf fattened, do kill [it], and having eaten let us be merry,
and schoon on hise feet; and brynge ye a fat calf, and sle ye, and ete we, and make we feeste.
24 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.
For this my sone was deed, and hath lyued ayen; he perischid, and is foundun. And alle men bigunnen to ete.
25 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.
But his eldere sone was in the feeld; and whanne he cam, and neiyede to the hous, he herde a symfonye and a croude.
26 And having called near one of the servants (of him *k) he was inquiring what (maybe *no) would be these things.
And he clepide oon of the seruauntis, and axide, what these thingis weren.
27 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.
And he seide to hym, Thi brother is comun, and thi fadir slewe a fat calf, for he resseyuede hym saaf.
28 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.
And he was wrooth, and wolde not come in. Therfor his fadir wente out, and bigan to preye hym.
29 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.
And he answerde to his fadir, and seide, Lo! so many yeeris Y serue thee, and Y neuer brak thi comaundement; and thou neuer yaf to me a kidde, that Y with my freendis schulde haue ete.
30 When however the son of you this the [one] having devoured your living with prostitutes came, you have killed for him the fattened calf.
But aftir that this thi sone, that hath deuourid his substaunce with horis, cam, thou hast slayn to hym a fat calf.
31 And he said to him; Son, you yourself always with me are, and all that [is] mine yours is.
And he seide to hym, Sone, thou art euer more with me, and alle my thingis ben thine.
32 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.
But it bihofte for to make feeste, and to haue ioye; for this thi brother was deed, and lyuede ayen; he perischide, and is foundun.
