Κατα Λουκαν 15
1 ησαν δε εγγιζοντεσ αυτω παντεσ οι τελωναι και οι αμαρτωλοι ακουειν αυτου
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were approaching him to hear him.
2 και διεγογγυζον οι φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεισ λεγοντεσ οτι ουτοσ αμαρτωλουσ προσδεχεται και συνεσθιει αυτοισ
And the Pharisees and the scholars murmured, saying, This man receives sinners and eats with them.
3 ειπεν δε προσ αυτουσ την παραβολην ταυτην λεγων
And he spoke this parable to them, saying,
4 τισ ανθρωποσ εξ υμων εχων εκατον προβατα και απολεσασ εν εξ αυτων ου καταλειπει τα ενενηκοντα εννεα εν τη ερημω και πορευεται επι το απολωλοσ εωσ ευρη αυτο
What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, does not leave behind the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go for that which was lost until he finds it?
5 και ευρων επιτιθησιν επι τουσ ωμουσ εαυτου χαιρων
And when he finds it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6 και ελθων εισ τον οικον συγκαλει τουσ φιλουσ και τουσ γειτονασ λεγων αυτοισ συγχαρητε μοι οτι ευρον το προβατον μου το απολωλοσ
And when he comes to the house, he calls together his men friends and his men neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.
7 λεγω υμιν οτι ουτωσ χαρα εσται εν τω ουρανω επι ενι αμαρτωλω μετανοουντι η επι ενενηκοντα εννεα δικαιοισ οιτινεσ ου χρειαν εχουσιν μετανοιασ
I say to you, that thus there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous men who have no need of repentance.
8 η τισ γυνη δραχμασ εχουσα δεκα εαν απολεση δραχμην μιαν ουχι απτει λυχνον και σαροι την οικιαν και ζητει επιμελωσ εωσ οτου ευρη
Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she lose one drachma, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she finds it?
9 και ευρουσα συγκαλειται τασ φιλασ και τασ γειτονασ λεγουσα συγχαρητε μοι οτι ευρον την δραχμην ην απωλεσα
And when she has found it, she calls together her lady friends and lady neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, because I found the drachma that I lost.
10 ουτωσ λεγω υμιν χαρα γινεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του θεου επι ενι αμαρτωλω μετανοουντι
Thus I say to you, there becomes joy in the presence of the agents of God over one sinner who repents.
11 ειπεν δε ανθρωποσ τισ ειχεν δυο υιουσ
And he said, A certain man had two sons,
12 και ειπεν ο νεωτεροσ αυτων τω πατρι πατερ δοσ μοι το επιβαλλον μεροσ τησ ουσιασ και διειλεν αυτοισ τον βιον
and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his living.
13 και μετ ου πολλασ ημερασ συναγαγων απαντα ο νεωτεροσ υιοσ απεδημησεν εισ χωραν μακραν και εκει διεσκορπισεν την ουσιαν αυτου ζων ασωτωσ
And not many days after, the younger son, having gathered all together, journeyed into a distant country, and there he squandered his wealth living recklessly.
14 δαπανησαντοσ δε αυτου παντα εγενετο λιμοσ ισχυροσ κατα την χωραν εκεινην και αυτοσ ηρξατο υστερεισθαι
And when he spent all, a mighty famine developed in that country, and he began to be in want.
15 και πορευθεισ εκολληθη ενι των πολιτων τησ χωρασ εκεινησ και επεμψεν αυτον εισ τουσ αγρουσ αυτου βοσκειν χοιρουσ
And having gone, he was joined to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 και επεθυμει γεμισαι την κοιλιαν αυτου απο των κερατιων ων ησθιον οι χοιροι και ουδεισ εδιδου αυτω
And he longed to fill his belly from the husks that the swine ate, and no man gave to him.
17 εισ εαυτον δε ελθων ειπεν ποσοι μισθιοι του πατροσ μου περισσευουσιν αρτων εγω δε λιμω απολλυμαι
But when he came to himself, he said, How many hired men of my father's have abundance of loaves, but I am perishing with hunger.
18 αναστασ πορευσομαι προσ τον πατερα μου και ερω αυτω πατερ ημαρτον εισ τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου
After rising, I will go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight.
19 και ουκετι ειμι αξιοσ κληθηναι υιοσ σου ποιησον με ωσ ενα των μισθιων σου
I am no more worthy to be called thy son. Make me as one of thy hired men.
20 και αναστασ ηλθεν προσ τον πατερα αυτου ετι δε αυτου μακραν απεχοντοσ ειδεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου και εσπλαγχνισθη και δραμων επεπεσεν επι τον τραχηλον αυτου και κατεφιλησεν αυτον
And having risen, he went to his father. But while he was still distant, afar off, his father saw him and felt compassion. And having ran, he fell on his neck, and kissed him much.
21 ειπεν δε αυτω ο υιοσ πατερ ημαρτον εισ τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου και ουκετι ειμι αξιοσ κληθηναι υιοσ σου
And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight. I am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 ειπεν δε ο πατηρ προσ τουσ δουλουσ αυτου εξενεγκατε την στολην την πρωτην και ενδυσατε αυτον και δοτε δακτυλιον εισ την χειρα αυτου και υποδηματα εισ τουσ ποδασ
But the father said to his bondmen, Bring forth the best robe and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and shoes for his feet.
23 και ενεγκαντεσ τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον θυσατε και φαγοντεσ ευφρανθωμεν
And having brought the fatted calf, kill it, and having eaten, we will be cheerful,
24 οτι ουτοσ ο υιοσ μου νεκροσ ην και ανεζησεν και απολωλωσ ην και ευρεθη και ηρξαντο ευφραινεσθαι
because this my son was dead, and became alive again. And he was lost, and is found. And they began to be cheerful.
25 ην δε ο υιοσ αυτου ο πρεσβυτεροσ εν αγρω και ωσ ερχομενοσ ηγγισεν τη οικια ηκουσεν συμφωνιασ και χορων
But his elder son was in a field. And while coming, having approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 και προσκαλεσαμενοσ ενα των παιδων επυνθανετο τι ειη ταυτα
And having summoned one of the boys, he inquired what these things might be.
27 ο δε ειπεν αυτω οτι ο αδελφοσ σου ηκει και εθυσεν ο πατηρ σου τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον οτι υγιαινοντα αυτον απελαβεν
And he said to him, Thy brother arrived, and thy father has killed the fatted calf, because he received him back healthy.
28 ωργισθη δε και ουκ ηθελεν εισελθειν ο ουν πατηρ αυτου εξελθων παρεκαλει αυτον
But he was angry, and would not go in. Therefore, his father having come out, he called him.
29 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν τω πατρι ιδου τοσαυτα ετη δουλευω σοι και ουδεποτε εντολην σου παρηλθον και εμοι ουδεποτε εδωκασ εριφον ινα μετα των φιλων μου ευφρανθω
But having answered, he said to his father, Lo, so many years do I serve thee, and I never passed by a commandment of thine, and yet thou never gave me a goat that I might be merry with my friends.
30 οτε δε ο υιοσ σου ουτοσ ο καταφαγων σου τον βιον μετα πορνων ηλθεν εθυσασ αυτω τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον
But when this thy son came, who has devoured thy living with harlots, thou killed for him the fatted calf.
31 ο δε ειπεν αυτω τεκνον συ παντοτε μετ εμου ει και παντα τα εμα σα εστιν
And he said to him, Child, thou are always with me, and all my things are yours.
32 ευφρανθηναι δε και χαρηναι εδει οτι ο αδελφοσ σου ουτοσ νεκροσ ην και ανεζησεν και απολωλωσ ην και ευρεθη
But it was needful to make merry and be glad, because this thy brother was dead, and became alive again, and was lost, and was found.
