Luke 15

Επλησιαζον δε εις αυτον παντες οι τελωναι και οι αμαρτωλοι, δια να ακουωσιν αυτον.

Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

Και διεγογγυζον οι Φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεις, λεγοντες οτι ουτος αμαρτωλους δεχεται και συντρωγει μετ αυτων.

And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

Ειπε δε προς αυτους την παραβολην ταυτην, λεγων

And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

Τις 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;

What 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?

Και ευρων αυτο, βαλλει επι τους ωμους αυτου χαιρων.

And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

Και ελθων εις τον οικον, συγκαλει τους φιλους και τους γειτονας, λεγων προς αυτους Συγχαρητε μοι, διοτι ευρον το προβατον μου το απολωλος.

And 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.

Σας λεγω οτι ουτω θελει εισθαι χαρα εν τω ουρανω δια ενα αμαρτωλον μετανοουντα μαλλον παρα δια ενενηκοντα εννεα δικαιους, οιτινες δεν εχουσι χρειαν μετανοιας.

I 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.

Η τις γυνη εχουσα δεκα δραχμας, εαν χαση δραχμην μιαν, δεν αναπτει λυχνον και σαρονει την οικιαν και ζητει επιμελως, εως οτου ευρη αυτην;

Either 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?

και αφου ευρη, συγκαλει τας φιλας και τας γειτονας, λεγουσα Συγχαρητε μοι, διοτι ευρον την δραχμην την οποιαν εχασα.

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.

Ουτω, σας λεγω, χαρα γινεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του Θεου δια ενα αμαρτωλον μετανοουντα.

Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Ειπε δε Ανθρωπος τις ειχε δυο υιους.

And he said, A certain man had two sons:

Και ειπεν ο νεωτερος αυτων προς τον πατερα Πατερ, δος μοι το ανηκον μερος της περιουσιας. Και διεμοιρασεν εις αυτους τα υπαρχοντα αυτου.

And 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.

Και μετ ολιγας ημερας συναξας παντα ο νεωτερος υιος, απεδημησεν εις χωραν μακραν και εκει διεσκορπισε την περιουσιαν 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.

Αφου δε εδαπανησε παντα, εγεινε πεινα μεγαλη εν τη χωρα εκεινη, και αυτος ηρχισε να στερηται.

And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

Τοτε υπηγε και προσεκολληθη εις ενα των πολιτων της χωρας εκεινης, οστις επεμψεν αυτον εις τους αγρους αυτου δια να βοσκη χοιρους.

And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

Και επεθυμει να γεμιση την κοιλιαν αυτου απο των ξυλοκερατων, τα οποια ετρωγον οι χοιροι, και ουδεις εδιδεν εις αυτον.

And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

Ελθων δε εις εαυτον, ειπε Ποσοι μισθωτοι του πατρος μου περισσευουσιν αρτον, και εγω χανομαι υπο της πεινης.

And 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!

Σηκωθεις θελω υπαγει προς τον πατερα μου και θελω ειπει προς αυτον Πατερ, ημαρτον εις τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου

I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

και δεν ειμαι πλεον αξιος να ονομασθω υιος σου καμε με ως ενα των μισθωτων σου.

And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

Και 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.

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.

ειπε δε προς αυτον ο υιος Πατερ, ημαρτον εις τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου, και δεν ειμαι πλεον αξιος να ονομασθω υιος σου.

And 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.

Και 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,

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:

και φεροντες τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον σφαξατε, και φαγοντες ας ευφρανθωμεν,

And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

διοτι ουτος ο υιος μου νεκρος ητο και ανεζησε, και απολωλως ητο και ευρεθη. Και ηρχισαν να ευφραινωνται.

For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

Ητο δε ο πρεσβυτερος αυτου υιος εν τω αγρω και καθως ερχομενος επλησιασεν εις την οικιαν, ηκουσε συμφωνιαν και χορους,

Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

και προσκαλεσας ενα των δουλων, ηρωτα τι ειναι ταυτα.

And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον οτι ο αδελφος σου ηλθε και εσφαξεν ο πατηρ σου τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον, διοτι απηλαυσεν αυτον υγιαινοντα.

And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

Και ωργισθη και δεν ηθελε να εισελθη. Εξηλθε λοιπον ο πατηρ αυτου και παρεκαλει αυτον.

And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

Ο 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.

And 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:

Οτε δε ο υιος σου ουτος, ο καταφαγων σου τον βιον μετα πορνων, ηλθεν, εσφαξας δι αυτον τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον.

But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον Τεκνον, συ παντοτε μετ εμου εισαι, και παντα τα εμα σα ειναι

And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

επρεπε δε να ευφρανθωμεν και να χαρωμεν, διοτι ο αδελφος σου ουτος νεκρος ητο και ανεζησε, και απολωλως ητο και ευρεθη.

It 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.
