Luke 15

Berean Standard Bible
Coptic New Testament
1Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
1ⲛⲁⲩϧⲱⲛⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲧⲉⲗⲱⲛⲏⲥ ⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
2So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
2ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩ⳿ⲭⲣⲉⲙⲣⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲥⲁϧ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫⲁⲓ ϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
3Then Jesus told them this parable:
3ⲁϥϫⲉ ⲧⲁⲓⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ.
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?
4ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲉϥ ⲣ̅ ⲛ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲧⲁⲕⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁϥⲭⲁ ⲡⲓϥ̅ⲑ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϣⲁϥⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲫⲏ ⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ ϣⲁⲧⲉϥϫⲉⲙϥ.
5And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛϫⲉⲙϥ ϣⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲟϥ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲟϯ ⲉϥⲣⲁϣⲓ.
6comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
6ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲏⲓ ϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϥ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥⲑⲉϣⲉⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓϫⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ.
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.
7ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲛ ⲓⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓϥ̅ⲑ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ.
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?
8ⲓⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲩⲟⲛⲧⲉⲥ ⲓ̅ ⳿ⲛϫⲉⲥⲕⲓϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲥϣⲁⲛⲧⲁⲕⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲥϭⲉⲣⲉ ⲟⲩϧⲏⲃⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲥⲁⲣϩ ⲡⲓⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲕⲱϯ ϧⲉⲛ ⲩϥⲓⲣⲱⲟⲩϣ ϣⲁⲧⲉⲥϫⲉⲙⲥ.
9And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’
9ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲥϣⲁⲛϫⲉⲙⲥ ϣⲁⲥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲥ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉⲥⲑⲉϣⲉⲩ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲣⲁϣⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ϫⲉ ⲓϫⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϫⲉⲥⲕⲓϯ ⲉⲧⲁⲥⲧⲁⲕⲟ.
10In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
10ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲁϣⲓ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ⳿ⲙⲑⲟ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲩⲣⲉϥⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲧⲁⲛⲟⲓⲛ.
11Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
11ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛⲧⲉϥ ϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲃ̅ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
12The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
12ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲧⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲫⲱϣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲁⲩ.
13After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.
13ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⳿ⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⲉⲥⲟⲩⲏⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϫⲉⲣ ⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲥⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϥⲟⲛϧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲧⲁⲧⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ.
14After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
14ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲉϥϭⲟ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ϩⲱϥ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏ ⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛⲉⲣϧⲁ⳿ⲉ.
15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
15ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲙϥ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲉⲙⲃⲁⲕⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲭⲱⲣⲁ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲕⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲉϣⲁⲩ.
16He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
16ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥⲉⲣⲉⲡⲓⲑⲩⲙⲓⲛ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϩ ϧⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓϫⲓⲛ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⲛⲏ ⲉⲛⲁⲩⲟⲩⲟⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲉϣⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϯ ⲛⲁϥ ⲡⲉ.
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!
17ⲉⲧⲁ ⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲓ̅ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉⲙⲃⲉⲭⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲓⲱⲓⲕ ⲟⲓ ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲙⲁ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩ⳿ϩⲃⲱⲛ.
18I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.

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.

21The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

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.

25Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
