1Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
1[] Επλησιαζον δε εις αυτον παντες οι τελωναι και οι αμαρτωλοι, δια να ακουωσιν αυτον.
2And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
2Και διεγογγυζον οι Φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεις, λεγοντες οτι ουτος αμαρτωλους δεχεται και συντρωγει μετ' αυτων.
3And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
3Ειπε δε προς αυτους την παραβολην ταυτην, λεγων·
4What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
4Τις ανθρωπος εξ υμων εαν εχη εκατον προβατα και χαση εν εξ αυτων, δεν αφινει τα ενενηκοντα εννεα εν τη ερημω και υπαγει ζητων το απολωλος, εωσου ευρη αυτο;
5And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
5Και ευρων αυτο, βαλλει επι τους ωμους αυτου χαιρων.
6And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
6Και ελθων εις τον οικον, συγκαλει τους φιλους και τους γειτονας, λεγων προς αυτους· Συγχαρητε μοι, διοτι ευρον το προβατον μου το απολωλος.
7I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
7Σας λεγω οτι ουτω θελει εισθαι χαρα εν τω ουρανω δια ενα αμαρτωλον μετανοουντα μαλλον παρα δια ενενηκοντα εννεα δικαιους, οιτινες δεν εχουσι χρειαν μετανοιας.
8Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
8Η τις γυνη εχουσα δεκα δραχμας, εαν χαση δραχμην μιαν, δεν αναπτει λυχνον και σαρονει την οικιαν και ζητει επιμελως, εως οτου ευρη αυτην;
9And 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.
9και αφου ευρη, συγκαλει τας φιλας και τας γειτονας, λεγουσα· Συγχαρητε μοι, διοτι ευρον την δραχμην την οποιαν εχασα.
10Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
10Ουτω, σας λεγω, χαρα γινεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του Θεου δια ενα αμαρτωλον μετανοουντα.
11And he said, A certain man had two sons:
11[] Ειπε δε· Ανθρωπος τις ειχε δυο υιους.
12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
12Και ειπεν ο νεωτερος αυτων προς τον πατερα· Πατερ, δος μοι το ανηκον μερος της περιουσιας. Και διεμοιρασεν εις αυτους τα υπαρχοντα αυτου.
13And 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.
13Και μετ' ολιγας ημερας συναξας παντα ο νεωτερος υιος, απεδημησεν εις χωραν μακραν και εκει διεσκορπισε την περιουσιαν αυτου ζων ασωτως.
14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
14Αφου δε εδαπανησε παντα, εγεινε πεινα μεγαλη εν τη χωρα εκεινη, και αυτος ηρχισε να στερηται.
15And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
15Τοτε υπηγε και προσεκολληθη εις ενα των πολιτων της χωρας εκεινης, οστις επεμψεν αυτον εις τους αγρους αυτου δια να βοσκη χοιρους.
16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
16Και επεθυμει να γεμιση την κοιλιαν αυτου απο των ξυλοκερατων, τα οποια ετρωγον οι χοιροι, και ουδεις εδιδεν εις αυτον.
17And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
17Ελθων δε εις εαυτον, ειπε· Ποσοι μισθωτοι του πατρος μου περισσευουσιν αρτον, και εγω χανομαι υπο της πεινης.
18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
18Σηκωθεις θελω υπαγει προς τον πατερα μου και θελω ειπει προς αυτον· Πατερ, ημαρτον εις τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου·
19And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
19και δεν ειμαι πλεον αξιος να ονομασθω υιος σου· καμε με ως ενα των μισθωτων σου.
20And 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.
20Και σηκωθεις ηλθε προς τον πατερα αυτου. Ενω, δε απειχεν ετι μακραν, ειδεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου και εσπλαγχνισθη, και δραμων επεπεσεν επι τον τραχηλον αυτου και κατεφιλησεν αυτον.
21And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
21ειπε δε προς αυτον ο υιος· Πατερ, ημαρτον εις τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου, και δεν ειμαι πλεον αξιος να ονομασθω υιος σου.
22But 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:
22Και ο πατηρ ειπε προς τους δουλους αυτου· Φερετε εξω την στολην την πρωτην και ενδυσατε αυτον, και δοτε δακτυλιδιον εις την χειρα αυτου και υποδηματα εις τους ποδας,
23And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
23και φεροντες τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον σφαξατε, και φαγοντες ας ευφρανθωμεν,
24For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
24διοτι ουτος ο υιος μου νεκρος ητο και ανεζησε, και απολωλως ητο και ευρεθη. Και ηρχισαν να ευφραινωνται.
25Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
25Ητο δε ο πρεσβυτερος αυτου υιος εν τω αγρω· και καθως ερχομενος επλησιασεν εις την οικιαν, ηκουσε συμφωνιαν και χορους,
26And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
26και προσκαλεσας ενα των δουλων, ηρωτα τι ειναι ταυτα.
27And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
27Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον οτι ο αδελφος σου ηλθε· και εσφαξεν ο πατηρ σου τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον, διοτι απηλαυσεν αυτον υγιαινοντα.
28And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
28Και ωργισθη και δεν ηθελε να εισελθη. Εξηλθε λοιπον ο πατηρ αυτου και παρεκαλει αυτον.
29And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
29Ο δε αποκριθεις ειπε προς τον πατερα· Ιδου, τοσα ετη σε δουλευω, και ποτε εντολην σου δεν παρεβην, και εις εμε ουδε εριφιον εδωκας ποτε δια να ευφρανθω μετα των φιλων μου.
30But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
30Οτε δε ο υιος σου ουτος, ο καταφαγων σου τον βιον μετα πορνων, ηλθεν, εσφαξας δι' αυτον τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον.
31And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
31Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον· Τεκνον, συ παντοτε μετ' εμου εισαι, και παντα τα εμα σα ειναι·
32It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
32επρεπε δε να ευφρανθωμεν και να χαρωμεν, διοτι ο αδελφος σου ουτος νεκρος ητο και ανεζησε, και απολωλως ητο και ευρεθη.
