1Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to [Jesus]. 1Ἦσαν δὲ αὐτῷ ἐγγίζοντες πάντες οἱ τελῶναι καὶ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ
2So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This [man] welcomes sinners and eats with them.” 2καὶ διεγόγγυζον οἵ τε Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς λέγοντες ὅτι Οὗτος ἁμαρτωλοὺς προσδέχεται καὶ συνεσθίει αὐτοῖς
3Then [Jesus] told them this parable: 3Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην λέγων
4“What man among you, [if] he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, {does} not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the [one] that 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 finds [it], he joyfully puts [it] on his shoulders, 5καὶ εὑρὼν ἐπιτίθησιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὤμους αὐτοῦ χαίρων
6comes home, [and] calls together [his] friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’ 6καὶ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὸν οἶκον συνκαλεῖ τοὺς φίλους καὶ τοὺς γείτονας λέγων αὐτοῖς Συνχάρητέ μοι ὅτι εὗρον τὸ πρόβατόν μου τὸ ἀπολωλός
7In the same way, I tell you that there will be [more] joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent. 7λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὕτως χαρὰ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἔσται ἐπὶ ἑνὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ μετανοοῦντι ἢ ἐπὶ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα δικαίοις οἵτινες οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν μετανοίας
8Or what woman who has ten silver coins [and] loses one [of them] {does} not light a lamp, sweep [her] house, and search carefully until she finds it? 8Ἢ 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 finds [it], she calls together [her] friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found [my] lost coin.’ 9καὶ εὑροῦσα συνκαλεῖ τὰς φίλας καὶ γείτονας λέγουσα Συνχάρητέ μοι ὅτι εὗρον τὴν δραχμὴν ἣν ἀπώλεσα
10In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.” 10οὕτως λέγω ὑμῖν γίνεται χαρὰ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀγγέλων τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπὶ ἑνὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ μετανοοῦντι
11Then [Jesus] said, “[There was] a man who had two sons. 11Εἶπεν δέ Ἄνθρωπός τις εἶχεν δύο υἱούς
12The younger [son] said to [him], ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided [his] property between them. 12καὶ εἶπεν ὁ νεώτερος αὐτῶν τῷ πατρί Πάτερ δός μοι τὸ ἐπιβάλλον μέρος τῆς οὐσίας ὁ δὲ διεῖλεν αὐτοῖς τὸν βίον
13After a few days, the younger son got everything together [and] journeyed to a distant country, [where] he squandered his wealth in wild living. 13Καὶ μετ’ οὐ πολλὰς ἡμέρας συναγαγὼν πάντα ὁ νεώτερος υἱὸς ἀπεδήμησεν εἰς χώραν μακράν καὶ ἐκεῖ διεσκόρπισεν τὴν οὐσίαν αὐτοῦ ζῶν ἀσώτως
14After he had spent all [he had], a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need. 14Δαπανήσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ πάντα ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἰσχυρὰ κατὰ τὴν χώραν ἐκείνην καὶ αὐτὸς ἤρξατο ὑστερεῖσθαι
15[So] he went [and] hired himself out to a citizen of that country, [who] sent him into his fields to feed [the] pigs. 15καὶ πορευθεὶς ἐκολλήθη ἑνὶ τῶν πολιτῶν τῆς χώρας ἐκείνης καὶ ἔπεμψεν αὐτὸν εἰς τοὺς ἀγροὺς αὐτοῦ βόσκειν χοίρους
16He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him [ a thing ]. 16καὶ ἐπεθύμει γεμίσαι τὴν κοιλίαν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν κερατίων ὧν ἤσθιον οἱ χοῖροι καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδίδου αὐτῷ
17Finally he came to his senses [and] said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food? But here I {am}, starving to death! 17Εἰς ἑαυτὸν δὲ ἐλθὼν ἔφη Πόσοι μίσθιοι τοῦ πατρός μου περισσεύονται ἄρτων ἐγὼ δὲ λιμῷ ὧδε ἀπόλλυμαι
18I will get up [and] go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 18ἀναστὰς πορεύσομαι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ ἐρῶ αὐτῷ Πάτερ ἥμαρτον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐνώπιόν σου
19I 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
20So he got up [and] went to his father. But while he {was} still in the distance, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran [to his son], embraced him, and kissed him. 20Καὶ ἀναστὰς ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα ἑαυτοῦ ἔτι δὲ αὐτοῦ μακρὰν ἀπέχοντος εἶδεν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη καὶ δραμὼν ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν
21The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ 21Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτῷ Πάτερ ἥμαρτον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐνώπιόν σου οὐκέτι εἰμὶ ἄξιος κληθῆναι υἱός σου (ποίησόν με ὡς ἕνα τῶν μισθίων σου)
22But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 22Εἶπεν δὲ ὁ 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
23Bring the fatted calf [and] kill [it]. Let us feast [and] celebrate. 23καὶ φέρετε τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν θύσατε καὶ φαγόντες εὐφρανθῶμεν
24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate. 24ὅτι οὗτος ὁ υἱός μου νεκρὸς ἦν καὶ ἀνέζησεν ἦν ἀπολωλὼς καὶ εὑρέθη καὶ ἤρξαντο εὐφραίνεσθαι
25Meanwhile the older son was in [the] field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing. 25Ἦν δὲ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ πρεσβύτερος ἐν ἀγρῷ καὶ ὡς ἐρχόμενος ἤγγισεν τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἤκουσεν συμφωνίας καὶ χορῶν
26So he called one of the servants [and] asked what was going on. 26καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος ἕνα τῶν παίδων ἐπυνθάνετο τί ἂν εἴη ταῦτα
27‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’ 27Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὅτι Ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἥκει καὶ ἔθυσεν ὁ πατήρ σου τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν ὅτι ὑγιαίνοντα αὐτὸν ἀπέλαβεν
28[The older son] became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out [and] pleaded with him. 28Ὠργίσθη δὲ καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν εἰσελθεῖν ὁ δὲ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐξελθὼν παρεκάλει αὐτόν
29But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me [even] a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 29Ὁ 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 when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fatted calf for him!’ 30ὅτε δὲ ὁ υἱός σου οὗτος ὁ καταφαγών σου τὸν βίον μετὰ πορνῶν ἦλθεν ἔθυσας αὐτῷ τὸν σιτευτὸν μόσχον
31‘Son, you are always with me,’ [the father] said, ‘and all that [is] mine is yours. 31Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Τέκνον σὺ πάντοτε μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἶ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐμὰ σά ἐστιν
32But it was fitting to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’” 32εὐφρανθῆναι δὲ καὶ χαρῆναι ἔδει ὅτι ὁ ἀδελφός σου οὗτος νεκρὸς ἦν καὶ ἔζησεν καὶ ἀπολωλὼς καὶ εὑρέθη
