|
| 15 1 | ANOTHER TIME, the tax-gatherers and other bad characters were all crowding in to listen to him; | The Parable of the Lost Sheep Lk.15.1-7 (Peraea) | Mt.18.12-14 | Ἦσαν δὲ αὐτῷ ἐγγίζοντες πάντες οἱ τελῶναι καὶ οἱ ἀμαρτωλοὶ ἀκούειν αὐτοῦ. |
|
| 2 | and the Pharisees and the doctors of the law began grumbling among themselves: 'This fellow', they said, 'welcomes sinners and eats with them.' | | καὶ διεγόγγυζον οἱ τε Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς λέγοντες ὅτι Οὗτος ἀμαρτωλοὺς προσδέχεται καὶ συνεσθίει αὐτοῖς. |
|
| 3 | He answered them with this parable: | | εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτοὺς τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην λέγων, |
|
| 4 | 'If one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the missing one until he has found it? | | Τίς ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐχων ἑκατὸν πρόβατα καὶ ἀπολέσας ἐξ αὐτῶν ἓν οὐ καταλείπει τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τὸ ἀπολωλὸς ἑως εὑρῃ αὐτό; |
|
| 5 | How delighted he is then! He lifts it on to his shoulders, | | καὶ εὑρὼν ἐπιτίθησιν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὠμους αὐτοῦ χαίρων, |
|
| 6 | and home he goes to call his friends and neighbours together. "Rejoice with me!" he cries. "I have found my lost sheep." | | καὶ ἐλθὼν εἰς τὸν οἶκον συγκαλεῖ τοὺς φίλους καὶ τοὺς γείτονας λέγων αὐτοῖς, Συγχάρητέ μοι, ὅτι εὗρον τὸ πρόβατόν μου τὸ ἀπολωλός. |
|
| 7 | In the same way, I tell you, there will be greater joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who do not need to repent.
| | λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὑτως χαρὰ ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἐσται ἐπὶ ἑνὶ ἀμαρτωλῷ μετανοοῦντι ἢ ἐπὶ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα δικαίοις οἱτινες οὐ χρείαν ἐχουσιν μετανοίας. |
