Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.
1ησαν δε εγγιζοντεσ αυτω παντεσ οι τελωναι και οι αμαρτωλοι ακουειν αυτου
2The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”
2και διεγογγυζον οι φαρισαιοι και οι γραμματεισ λεγοντεσ οτι ουτοσ αμαρτωλουσ προσδεχεται και συνεσθιει αυτοισ
3He told them this parable:
3ειπεν δε προσ αυτουσ την παραβολην ταυτην λεγων
4“Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?
4τισ ανθρωποσ εξ υμων εχων εκατον προβατα και απολεσασ εν εξ αυτων ου καταλειπει τα ενενηκοντα εννεα εν τη ερημω και πορευεται επι το απολωλοσ εωσ ευρη αυτο
5When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
5και ευρων επιτιθησιν επι τουσ ωμουσ εαυτου χαιρων
6When he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to 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 αυτοισ συγχαρητε μοι οτι ευρον το προβατον μου το απολωλοσ
7I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
7λεγω υμιν οτι ουτωσ χαρα εσται εν τω ουρανω επι ενι αμαρτωλω μετανοουντι η επι ενενηκοντα εννεα δικαιοισ οιτινεσ ου χρειαν εχουσιν μετανοιασ
8“Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?
8η τισ γυνη δραχμασ εχουσα δεκα εαν απολεση δραχμην μιαν ουχι απτει λυχνον και σαροι την οικιαν και ζητει επιμελωσ εωσ οτου ευρη
9When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’
9και ευρουσα συγκαλειται τασ φιλασ και τασ γειτονασ λεγουσα συγχαρητε μοι οτι ευρον την δραχμην ην απωλεσα
10Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
10ουτωσ λεγω υμιν χαρα γινεται ενωπιον των αγγελων του θεου επι ενι αμαρτωλω μετανοουντι
11He said, “A certain man had two sons.
11ειπεν δε ανθρωποσ τισ ειχεν δυο υιουσ
12The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.
12και ειπεν ο νεωτεροσ αυτων τω πατρι πατερ δοσ μοι το επιβαλλον μεροσ τησ ουσιασ και διειλεν αυτοισ τον βιον
13Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.
13και μετ ου πολλασ ημερασ συναγαγων απαντα ο νεωτεροσ υιοσ απεδημησεν εισ χωραν μακραν και εκει διεσκορπισεν την ουσιαν αυτου ζων ασωτωσ
14When he had spent all of it, there arose a severe famine in that country, and he began to be in need.
14δαπανησαντοσ δε αυτου παντα εγενετο λιμοσ ισχυροσ κατα την χωραν εκεινην και αυτοσ ηρξατο υστερεισθαι
15He went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
15και πορευθεισ εκολληθη ενι των πολιτων τησ χωρασ εκεινησ και επεμψεν αυτον εισ τουσ αγρουσ αυτου βοσκειν χοιρουσ
16He wanted to fill his belly with the pods that the pigs ate, but no one gave him any.
16και επεθυμει γεμισαι την κοιλιαν αυτου απο των κερατιων ων ησθιον οι χοιροι και ουδεισ εδιδου αυτω
17But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!
17εισ εαυτον δε ελθων ειπεν ποσοι μισθιοι του πατροσ μου περισσευουσιν αρτων εγω δε λιμω απολλυμαι
18I will get up and go to my father, and will tell him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight.
18αναστασ πορευσομαι προσ τον πατερα μου και ερω αυτω πατερ ημαρτον εισ τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου
19I am no more worthy to be called your son. Make me as one of your hired servants.”’
19και ουκετι ειμι αξιοσ κληθηναι υιοσ σου ποιησον με ωσ ενα των μισθιων σου
20“He arose and came to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him.
20και αναστασ ηλθεν προσ τον πατερα αυτου ετι δε αυτου μακραν απεχοντοσ ειδεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου και εσπλαγχνισθη και δραμων επεπεσεν επι τον τραχηλον αυτου και κατεφιλησεν αυτον
21The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
21ειπεν δε αυτω ο υιοσ πατερ ημαρτον εισ τον ουρανον και ενωπιον σου και ουκετι ειμι αξιοσ κληθηναι υιοσ σου
22“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
22ειπεν δε ο πατηρ προσ τουσ δουλουσ αυτου εξενεγκατε την στολην την πρωτην και ενδυσατε αυτον και δοτε δακτυλιον εισ την χειρα αυτου και υποδηματα εισ τουσ ποδασ
23Bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let’s eat and celebrate;
23και ενεγκαντεσ τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον θυσατε και φαγοντεσ ευφρανθωμεν
24for this, my son, was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.
24οτι ουτοσ ο υιοσ μου νεκροσ ην και ανεζησεν και απολωλωσ ην και ευρεθη και ηρξαντο ευφραινεσθαι
25“Now his elder son was in the field. As he came near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
25ην δε ο υιοσ αυτου ο πρεσβυτεροσ εν αγρω και ωσ ερχομενοσ ηγγισεν τη οικια ηκουσεν συμφωνιασ και χορων
26He called one of the servants to him and asked what was going on.
26και προσκαλεσαμενοσ ενα των παιδων επυνθανετο τι ειη ταυτα
27He said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and healthy.’
27ο δε ειπεν αυτω οτι ο αδελφοσ σου ηκει και εθυσεν ο πατηρ σου τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον οτι υγιαινοντα αυτον απελαβεν
28But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and begged him.
28ωργισθη δε και ουκ ηθελεν εισελθειν ο ουν πατηρ αυτου εξελθων παρεκαλει αυτον
29But he answered his father, ‘Behold, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed a commandment of yours, but you never gave me a goat, that I might celebrate with my friends.
29ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν τω πατρι ιδου τοσαυτα ετη δουλευω σοι και ουδεποτε εντολην σου παρηλθον και εμοι ουδεποτε εδωκασ εριφον ινα μετα των φιλων μου ευφρανθω
30But when this your son came, who has devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’
30οτε δε ο υιοσ σου ουτοσ ο καταφαγων σου τον βιον μετα πορνων ηλθεν εθυσασ αυτω τον μοσχον τον σιτευτον
31“He said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.
31ο δε ειπεν αυτω τεκνον συ παντοτε μετ εμου ει και παντα τα εμα σα εστιν
32But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’”
32ευφρανθηναι δε και χαρηναι εδει οτι ο αδελφοσ σου ουτοσ νεκροσ ην και ανεζησεν και απολωλωσ ην και ευρεθη
