1Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him.1Ἦσαν δὲ αὐτῷ ἐγγίζοντες πάντες οἱ τελῶναι καὶ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ
2And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, “This Man receives sinners and eats with them.”2καὶ διεγόγγυζον οἵ τε Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς λέγοντες ὅτι Οὗτος ἁμαρτωλοὺς προσδέχεται καὶ συνεσθίει αὐτοῖς
3So He spoke this parable to them, saying:3Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην λέγων
4“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?4Τίς ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὑμῶν ἔχων ἑκατὸν πρόβατα καὶ ἀπολέσας ἐξ αὐτῶν ἓν οὐ καταλείπει τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τὸ ἀπολωλὸς ἕως εὕρῃ αὐτό
5And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.5καὶ εὑρὼν ἐπιτίθησιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὤμους αὐτοῦ χαίρων
6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’6καὶ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὸν οἶκον συνκαλεῖ τοὺς φίλους καὶ τοὺς γείτονας λέγων αὐτοῖς Συνχάρητέ μοι ὅτι εὗρον τὸ πρόβατόν μου τὸ ἀπολωλός
7I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.7λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὕτως χαρὰ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἔσται ἐπὶ ἑνὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ μετανοοῦντι ἐπὶ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα δικαίοις οἵτινες οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν μετανοίας
8“Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?8 τίς γυνὴ δραχμὰς ἔχουσα δέκα ἐὰν ἀπολέσῃ δραχμὴν μίαν οὐχὶ ἅπτει λύχνον καὶ σαροῖ τὴν οἰκίαν καὶ ζητεῖ ἐπιμελῶς ἕως οὗ εὕρῃ
9And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’9καὶ εὑροῦσα συνκαλεῖ τὰς φίλας καὶ γείτονας λέγουσα Συνχάρητέ μοι ὅτι εὗρον τὴν δραχμὴν ἣν ἀπώλεσα
10Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”10οὕτως λέγω ὑμῖν γίνεται χαρὰ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπὶ ἑνὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ μετανοοῦντι
11Then He said: “A certain man had two sons.11Εἶπεν δέ Ἄνθρωπός τις εἶχεν δύο υἱούς
12And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood.12καὶ εἶπεν νεώτερος αὐτῶν τῷ πατρί Πάτερ δός μοι τὸ ἐπιβάλλον μέρος τῆς οὐσίας δὲ διεῖλεν αὐτοῖς τὸν βίον
13And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.13Καὶ μετ’ οὐ πολλὰς ἡμέρας συναγαγὼν πάντα νεώτερος υἱὸς ἀπεδήμησεν εἰς χώραν μακράν καὶ ἐκεῖ διεσκόρπισεν τὴν οὐσίαν αὐτοῦ ζῶν ἀσώτως
14But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.14Δαπανήσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ πάντα ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἰσχυρὰ κατὰ τὴν χώραν ἐκείνην καὶ αὐτὸς ἤρξατο ὑστερεῖσθαι
15Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.15καὶ πορευθεὶς ἐκολλήθη ἑνὶ τῶν πολιτῶν τῆς χώρας ἐκείνης καὶ ἔπεμψεν αὐτὸν εἰς τοὺς ἀγροὺς αὐτοῦ βόσκειν χοίρους
16And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.16καὶ ἐπεθύμει γεμίσαι τὴν κοιλίαν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν κερατίων ὧν ἤσθιον οἱ χοῖροι καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδίδου αὐτῷ
17“But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!17Εἰς ἑαυτὸν δὲ ἐλθὼν ἔφη Πόσοι μίσθιοι τοῦ πατρός μου περισσεύονται ἄρτων ἐγὼ δὲ λιμῷ ὧδε ἀπόλλυμαι
18I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,18ἀναστὰς πορεύσομαι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ ἐρῶ αὐτῷ Πάτερ ἥμαρτον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐνώπιόν σου
19and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.” ’19οὐκέτι εἰμὶ ἄξιος κληθῆναι υἱός σου ποίησόν με ὡς ἕνα τῶν μισθίων σου
20“And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.20Καὶ ἀναστὰς ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα ἑαυτοῦ ἔτι δὲ αὐτοῦ μακρὰν ἀπέχοντος εἶδεν αὐτὸν πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη καὶ δραμὼν ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν
21And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’21Εἶπεν δὲ υἱὸς αὐτῷ Πάτερ ἥμαρτον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐνώπιόν σου οὐκέτι εἰμὶ ἄξιος κληθῆναι υἱός σου (ποίησόν με ὡς ἕνα τῶν μισθίων σου)
22“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.22Εἶπεν δὲ πατὴρ πρὸς τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ Ταχὺ ἐξενέγκατε στολὴν τὴν πρώτην καὶ ἐνδύσατε αὐτόν καὶ δότε δακτύλιον εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ὑποδήματα εἰς τοὺς πόδας
23And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry;23καὶ φέρετε τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν θύσατε καὶ φαγόντες εὐφρανθῶμεν
24for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.24ὅτι οὗτος υἱός μου νεκρὸς ἦν καὶ ἀνέζησεν ἦν ἀπολωλὼς καὶ εὑρέθη καὶ ἤρξαντο εὐφραίνεσθαι
25“Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.25Ἦν δὲ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ πρεσβύτερος ἐν ἀγρῷ καὶ ὡς ἐρχόμενος ἤγγισεν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἤκουσεν συμφωνίας καὶ χορῶν
26So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.26καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος ἕνα τῶν παίδων ἐπυνθάνετο τί ἂν εἴη ταῦτα
27And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.’27 δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὅτι ἀδελφός σου ἥκει καὶ ἔθυσεν πατήρ σου τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν ὅτι ὑγιαίνοντα αὐτὸν ἀπέλαβεν
28“But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him.28Ὠργίσθη δὲ καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν εἰσελθεῖν δὲ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐξελθὼν παρεκάλει αὐτόν
29So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends.29 δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν τῷ πατρὶ ‹αὐτοῦ› Ἰδοὺ τοσαῦτα ἔτη δουλεύω σοι καὶ οὐδέποτε ἐντολήν σου παρῆλθον καὶ ἐμοὶ οὐδέποτε ἔδωκας ἔριφον ἵνα μετὰ τῶν φίλων μου εὐφρανθῶ
30But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.’30ὅτε δὲ υἱός σου οὗτος καταφαγών σου τὸν βίον μετὰ πορνῶν ἦλθεν ἔθυσας αὐτῷ τὸν σιτευτὸν μόσχον
31“And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.31 δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Τέκνον σὺ πάντοτε μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἶ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐμὰ σά ἐστιν
32It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.’ ”32εὐφρανθῆναι δὲ καὶ χαρῆναι ἔδει ὅτι ἀδελφός σου οὗτος νεκρὸς ἦν καὶ ἔζησεν καὶ ἀπολωλὼς καὶ εὑρέθη
