Luke 15
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
Were now to Him drawing near all the tax collectors and the sinners to hear Him.
2 The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, 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 He told them this parable:
He spoke then to them parable this saying;
4 “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found 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 When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
And having found [it] he lays [it] on the shoulders (of him *N+kO) rejoicing,
6 When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to 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 tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who 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 “Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found 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 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma 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 Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
Thus I say to you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner repenting.
11 He said, “A certain man had two sons.
He said then; A man certain had two sons.
12 The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood 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 after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property 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 When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in 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 He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he 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 wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
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 hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying 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 get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
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 I am no more 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 “He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, 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 The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. 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 servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. 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 Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
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.’ Then 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 elder son was in the field. As he came near to 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 He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
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 fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
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 But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged 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 he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a 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 your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened 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 “He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine 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 appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. 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.
