Κατα Λουκαν 15
1 ησαν δε εγγιζοντεσ αυτω παντεσ οι τελωναι και οι αμαρτωλοι ακουειν αυτου
Then resorted vnto him all the Publicanes and sinners, to heare him.
2 και διεγογγυζον οι φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεισ λεγοντεσ οτι ουτοσ αμαρτωλουσ προσδεχεται και συνεσθιει αυτοισ
Therefore the Pharises and Scribes murmured, saying, Hee receiueth sinners, and eateth with them.
3 ειπεν δε προσ αυτουσ την παραβολην ταυτην λεγων
Then spake hee 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 hauing an hundreth sheepe, if hee lose one of them, doeth not leaue ninetie and nine in the wildernesse, and goe after that which is lost, vntill he finde it?
5 και ευρων επιτιθησιν επι τουσ ωμουσ εαυτου χαιρων
And when he hath found it, he laieth it on his shoulders with ioye.
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 commeth home, he calleth together his friendes and neighbours, saying vnto them, Reioyce with mee: for I haue founde my sheepe which 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 vnto you, that likewise ioy shall be in heauen for one sinner that conuerteth, more then for ninetie and nine iust men, which neede none amendment of life.
8 η τισ γυνη δραχμασ εχουσα δεκα εαν απολεση δραχμην μιαν ουχι απτει λυχνον και σαροι την οικιαν και ζητει επιμελωσ εωσ οτου ευρη
Either what woman hauing ten groates, if she lose one groate, doth not light a candle, and sweepe the house, and seeke diligently till shee finde it?
9 και ευρουσα συγκαλειται τασ φιλασ και τασ γειτονασ λεγουσα συγχαρητε μοι οτι ευρον την δραχμην ην απωλεσα
And when shee hath found it, shee calleth her friendes, and neighbours, saying, Reioyce with me: for I haue found the groate which I had lost.
10 ουτωσ λεγω υμιν χαρα γινεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του θεου επι ενι αμαρτωλω μετανοουντι
Likewise I say vnto you, there is ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, for one sinner that conuerteth.
11 ειπεν δε ανθρωποσ τισ ειχεν δυο υιουσ
He sayde moreouer, A certaine man had two sonnes.
12 και ειπεν ο νεωτεροσ αυτων τω πατρι πατερ δοσ μοι το επιβαλλον μεροσ τησ ουσιασ και διειλεν αυτοισ τον βιον
And the yonger of them sayde to his father, Father, giue mee the portion of the goods that falleth to mee. So he deuided vnto them his substance.
13 και μετ ου πολλασ ημερασ συναγαγων απαντα ο νεωτεροσ υιοσ απεδημησεν εισ χωραν μακραν και εκει διεσκορπισεν την ουσιαν αυτου ζων ασωτωσ
So not many daies after, when the yonger sonne had gathered all together, hee tooke his iourney into a farre countrey, and there hee wasted his goods with riotous liuing.
14 δαπανησαντοσ δε αυτου παντα εγενετο λιμοσ ισχυροσ κατα την χωραν εκεινην και αυτοσ ηρξατο υστερεισθαι
Nowe when hee had spent all, there arose a great dearth throughout that land, and he began to be in necessitie.
15 και πορευθεισ εκολληθη ενι των πολιτων τησ χωρασ εκεινησ και επεμψεν αυτον εισ τουσ αγρουσ αυτου βοσκειν χοιρουσ
Then hee went and claue to a citizen of that conntrey, and hee sent him to his farme, to feede swine.
16 και επεθυμει γεμισαι την κοιλιαν αυτου απο των κερατιων ων ησθιον οι χοιροι και ουδεισ εδιδου αυτω
And hee would faine haue filled his bellie with the huskes, that the swine ate: but no man gaue them him.
17 εισ εαυτον δε ελθων ειπεν ποσοι μισθιοι του πατροσ μου περισσευουσιν αρτων εγω δε λιμω απολλυμαι
Then he came to him selfe, and said, Howe many hired seruaunts at my fathers haue bread ynough, and I die for hunger?
18 αναστασ πορευσομαι προσ τον πατερα μου και ερω αυτω πατερ ημαρτον εισ τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου
I wil rise and goe to my father, and say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heaue, and before thee,
19 και ουκετι ειμι αξιοσ κληθηναι υιοσ σου ποιησον με ωσ ενα των μισθιων σου
And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants.
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
So hee arose and came to his father, and when hee was yet a great way off, his father sawe him, and had compassion, and ranne and fell on his necke, and kissed him.
21 ειπεν δε αυτω ο υιοσ πατερ ημαρτον εισ τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου και ουκετι ειμι αξιοσ κληθηναι υιοσ σου
And the sonne sayde vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen, and before thee, and am no more worthie to be called thy sonne.
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
Then the father said to his seruaunts, Bring foorth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feete,
23 και ενεγκαντεσ τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον θυσατε και φαγοντεσ ευφρανθωμεν
And bring the fat calfe, and kill him, and let vs eate, and be merie:
24 οτι ουτοσ ο υιοσ μου νεκροσ ην και ανεζησεν και απολωλωσ ην και ευρεθη και ηρξαντο ευφραινεσθαι
For this my sonne was dead, and is aliue againe: and he was lost, but he is found. And they began to be merie.
25 ην δε ο υιοσ αυτου ο πρεσβυτεροσ εν αγρω και ωσ ερχομενοσ ηγγισεν τη οικια ηκουσεν συμφωνιασ και χορων
Nowe the elder brother was in the fielde, and when he came and drewe neere to the house, he heard melodie, and dauncing,
26 και προσκαλεσαμενοσ ενα των παιδων επυνθανετο τι ειη ταυτα
And called one of his seruaunts, and asked what those things meant.
27 ο δε ειπεν αυτω οτι ο αδελφοσ σου ηκει και εθυσεν ο πατηρ σου τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον οτι υγιαινοντα αυτον απελαβεν
And hee sayde vnto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatte calfe, because he hath receiued him safe and sound.
28 ωργισθη δε και ουκ ηθελεν εισελθειν ο ουν πατηρ αυτου εξελθων παρεκαλει αυτον
Then he was angry, and would not goe in: therefore came his father out and entreated 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 he answered and said to his father, Loe, these many yeeres haue I done thee seruice, neither brake I at any time thy commadement, and yet thou neuer gauest mee a kidde that I might make merie 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 sonne was come, which hath deuoured thy good with harlots, thou hast for his sake killed the fat calfe.
31 ο δε ειπεν αυτω τεκνον συ παντοτε μετ εμου ει και παντα τα εμα σα εστιν
And he said vnto him, Sonne, thou art euer with me, and al that I haue, is thine.
32 ευφρανθηναι δε και χαρηναι εδει οτι ο αδελφοσ σου ουτοσ νεκροσ ην και ανεζησεν και απολωλωσ ην και ευρεθη
It was meete that we shoulde make merie, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is aliue againe: and hee was lost, but he is found.
