< Luke 15 >
1 Were now to Him drawing near all the tax collectors and the sinners to hear Him.
2 And were grumbling the (both *no) Pharisees and the scribes saying that This [man] sinners receives and he eats with them.
3 He spoke then to them parable this saying;
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?
5 And having found [it] he lays [it] on the shoulders (of him *N+kO) rejoicing,
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!
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.
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?
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.
10 Thus I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner repenting.
11 He said then; A man certain had two sons.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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;
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.
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.
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)
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,
23 and (do bring *N+kO) the calf fattened, do kill [it], and having eaten let us be merry,
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.
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.
26 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 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 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 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 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 to him; Son, you yourself always with me are, and all that [is] mine yours is.
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.
