Luke 15
1 The tax-gatherers and the outcasts were all drawing near to Jesus to listen to him;
ⲁ̅ⲛⲁⲩϧⲱⲛⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ ⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
2 but the Pharisees and the Teachers of the Law found fault. “This man always welcomes outcasts, and takes meals with them!” they complained.
ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩ⳿ⲭⲣⲉⲙⲣⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲥⲁϧ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
3 So Jesus told them this parable —
ⲅ̅ⲁϥϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
4 “What man among you who has a hundred sheep, and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine out in the open country, and go after the lost sheep till he finds it?
ⲇ̅ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲉϥ ⲣ̅ ⲛ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲧⲁⲕⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁϥⲭⲁ ⲡⲓϥ̅ⲑ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϣⲁϥⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲫⲏ ⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥϫⲉⲙϥ.
5 And, when he has found it, he puts in on his shoulders rejoicing;
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛϫⲉⲙϥ ϣⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲟϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲟϯ ⲉϥⲣⲁϣⲓ.
6 and, on reaching home, he calls his friends and his neighbours together, and says ‘Come and rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.’
ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲏⲓ ϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϥ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥⲑⲉϣⲉⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓϫⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ.
7 So, I tell you, there will be more rejoicing in Heaven over one outcast that repents, than over ninety-nine religious men, who have no need to repent.
ⲍ̅ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲛ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϥ̅ⲑ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
8 Or again, what woman who has ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
ⲏ̅ⲓⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲩⲟⲛⲧⲉⲥ ⲓ̅ ⳿ⲛϫⲉⲥⲕⲓϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲥϣⲁⲛⲧⲁⲕⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥϭⲉⲣⲉ ⲟⲩϧⲏⲃⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲥⲁⲣϩ ⲡⲓⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲕⲱϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲩϥⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩϣ ϣⲁⲧⲉⲥϫⲉⲙⲥ.
9 And, when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbours together, and says ‘Come and rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I lost.’
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲥϣⲁⲛϫⲉⲙⲥ ϣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲥ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲥⲑⲉϣⲉⲩ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ϫⲉ ⲓϫⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϫⲉⲥⲕⲓϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲧⲁⲕⲟ.
10 So, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of God’s angels over one outcast that repents.”
ⲓ̅ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲓ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲩⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲛ.
11 Then Jesus continued: “A man had two sons;
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲉϥ ϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
12 and the younger of them said to his father ‘Father, give me my share of the inheritance.’ So the father divided the property between them.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲫⲱϣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲁⲩ.
13 A few days later the younger son got together all that he had, and went away into a distant land; and there he squandered his inheritance by leading a dissolute life.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⳿ⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲏⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϫⲉⲣ ⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲥⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϥⲟⲛϧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ.
14 After he has spent all that he had, there was a severe famine through all that country, and he began to be in actual want.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϭⲟ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ϩⲱϥ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏ ⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣϧⲁ⳿ⲉ.
15 So he went and engaged himself to one of the people of that country, who sent him into his fields to tend pigs.

16 He even longed to satisfy his hunger with the bean-pods on which the pigs were feeding; and no one gave him anything.

17 But, when he came to himself, he said ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more bread than they can eat, while here am I starving to death!
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲁ ⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲓ̅ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉⲙⲃⲉⲭⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲓⲱⲓⲕ ⲟⲓ ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲛ.

20 And he got up and went to his father. But, while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was deeply moved; he ran and threw his arms round his neck and kissed him.

21 ‘Father,’ the son said, ‘I sinned against Heaven and against you; I am no longer fit to be called your son; make me one of your hired servants.’

22 But the father turned to his servants and said ‘Be quick and fetch a robe — the very best — and put it on him; give him a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet;

25 Meanwhile the elder son was out in the fields; but, on coming home, when he got near the house, he heard music and dancing,
