Κατα Λουκαν 15
1 ησαν δε εγγιζοντεσ αυτω παντεσ οι τελωναι και οι αμαρτωλοι ακουειν αυτου
Then drew near to him all the tax collectors and sinners to hear him.
2 και διεγογγυζον οι φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεισ λεγοντεσ οτι ουτοσ αμαρτωλουσ προσδεχεται και συνεσθιει αυτοισ
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth 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 an hundred sheep, if he loseth one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth it?
5 και ευρων επιτιθησιν επι τουσ ωμουσ εαυτου χαιρων
And when he hath found it, he layeth 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 cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep 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 to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no 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
Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she loseth one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she findeth it?
9 και ευρουσα συγκαλειται τασ φιλασ και τασ γειτονασ λεγουσα συγχαρητε μοι οτι ευρον την δραχμην ην απωλεσα
And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
10 ουτωσ λεγω υμιν χαρα γινεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του θεου επι ενι αμαρτωλω μετανοουντι
Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
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 falleth 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 gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14 δαπανησαντοσ δε αυτου παντα εγενετο λιμοσ ισχυροσ κατα την χωραν εκεινην και αυτοσ ηρξατο υστερεισθαι
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; 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 he went and joined himself to a citizen 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 was longing to fill his belly with 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
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I am perishing with hunger!
18 αναστασ πορευσομαι προσ τον πατερα μου και ερω αυτω πατερ ημαρτον εισ τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου
I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, 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 son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
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 he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, 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 son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and 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 servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23 και ενεγκαντεσ τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον θυσατε και φαγοντεσ ευφρανθωμεν
And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 οτι ουτοσ ο υιοσ μου νεκροσ ην και ανεζησεν και απολωλωσ ην και ευρεθη και ηρξαντο ευφραινεσθαι
For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
25 ην δε ο υιοσ αυτου ο πρεσβυτεροσ εν αγρω και ωσ ερχομενοσ ηγγισεν τη οικια ηκουσεν συμφωνιασ και χορων
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 και προσκαλεσαμενοσ ενα των παιδων επυνθανετο τι ειη ταυτα
And he called one of the servants, and asked what these 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 he said to him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28 ωργισθη δε και ουκ ηθελεν εισελθειν ο ουν πατηρ αυτου εξελθων παρεκαλει αυτον
And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore his father came 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
And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither have I at any time transgressed thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make 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 as soon as this thy son had come, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast 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, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
32 ευφρανθηναι δε και χαρηναι εδει οτι ο αδελφοσ σου ουτοσ νεκροσ ην και ανεζησεν και απολωλωσ ην και ευρεθη
It was right that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
