15 New English Bible (New Testament) Passage New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26)

11Again he said: 'There was once a man who had two sons;The Parable of the Lost Son Lk.15.11-32 (Peraea)Εἶπεν δέ, Ἄνθρωπός τις εἶχεν δύο υἱούς.
12and the younger said to his father, "Father, give me my share of the property." So he divided his estate between them. καὶ εἶπεν ὁ νεώτερος αὐτῶν τῷ πατρί, Πάτερ, δός μοι τὸ ἐπιβάλλον μέρος τῆς οὐσίας. ὁ δὲ διεῖλεν αὐτοῖς τὸν βίον.
13A few days later the younger son turned the whole of his share into cash and left home for a distant country, where he squandered it in reckless living. καὶ μετ' οὐ πολλὰς ἡμέρας συναγαγὼν πάντα ὁ νεώτερος υἱὸς ἀπεδήμησεν εἰς χώραν μακράν, καὶ ἐκεῖ διεσκόρπισεν τὴν οὐσίαν αὐτοῦ ζῶν ἀσώτως.
14He had spent it all, when a severe famine fell upon that country and he began to feel the pinch. δαπανήσαντος δὲ αὐτοῦ πάντα ἐγένετο λιμὸς ἰσχυρὰ κατὰ τὴν χώραν ἐκείνην, καὶ αὐτὸς ἠρξατο ὑστερεῖσθαι.
15So he went and attached himself to one of the local landowners, who sent him on to his farm to mind the pigs. καὶ πορευθεὶς ἐκολλήθη ἑνὶ τῶν πολιτῶν τῆς χώρας ἐκείνης, καὶ ἐπεμψεν αὐτὸν εἰς τοὺς ἀγροὺς αὐτοῦ βόσκειν χοίρους·
16He would have been glad to fill his belly with Some witnesses read: to have his fill of ... the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything. καὶ ἐπεθύμει χορτασθῆναι ἐκ τῶν κερατίων ὧν ἠσθιον οἱ χοῖροι, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐδίδου αὐτῷ.
17Then he came to his senses and said, "How many of my father's paid servants have more food than they can eat, and here am I, starving to death! εἰς ἑαυτὸν δὲ ἐλθὼν ἐφη, Πόσοι μίσθιοι τοῦ πατρός μου περισσεύονται ἀρτων, ἐγὼ δὲ λιμῷ ὧδε ἀπόλλυμαι.
18I will set off and go to my father, and say to him, 'Father, I have sinned, against God and against you; ἀναστὰς πορεύσομαι πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ ἐρῶ αὐτῷ, Πάτερ, ἡμαρτον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐνώπιόν σου,
19I am no longer fit to be called your son; treat me as one of your paid servants.' οὐκέτι εἰμὶ ἄξιος κληθῆναι υἱός σου· ποίησόν με ὡς ἑνα τῶν μισθίων σου.
20"So he set out for his father's house. But while he was still a long way off his father saw him, and his heart went out to him. He ran to meet him, flung his arms round him, and kissed him. καὶ ἀναστὰς ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα ἑαυτοῦ. ἐτι δὲ αὐτοῦ μακρὰν ἀπέχοντος εἶδεν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐσπλαγχνίσθη καὶ δραμὼν ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν.
21The son said, "Father, I have sinned, against God and against you; I am no longer fit to be called your son." Some witnesses add: treat me as one of your paid servants. εἶπεν δὲ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτῷ, Πάτερ, ἡμαρτον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἐνώπιόν σου, οὐκέτι εἰμὶ ἄξιος κληθῆναι υἱός σου.
22But the father said to his servants, "Quick! fetch a robe, my best one, and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and shoes on his feet. εἶπεν δὲ ὁ πατὴρ πρὸς τοὺς δούλους αὐτοῦ, Ταχὺ ἐξενέγκατε στολὴν τὴν πρώτην καὶ ἐνδύσατε αὐτόν, καὶ δότε δακτύλιον εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ὑποδήματα εἰς τοὺς πόδας,
23Bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us have a feast to celebrate the day. καὶ φέρετε τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν, θύσατε καὶ φαγόντες εὐφρανθῶμεν,
24For this son of mine was dead and has come back to life; he was lost and is found." And the festivities began.
 ὁτι οὗτος ὁ υἱός μου νεκρὸς ἦν καὶ ἀνέζησεν, ἦν ἀπολωλὼς καὶ εὑρέθη. καὶ ἠρξαντο εὐφραίνεσθαι.
25'Now the elder son was out on the farm; and on his way back, as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing. Ἦν δὲ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ πρεσβύτερος ἐν ἀγρῷ· καὶ ὡς ἐρχόμενος ἠγγισεν τῇ οἰκίᾳ, ἠκουσεν συμφωνίας καὶ χορῶν,
26He called one of the servants and asked what it meant. καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος ἑνα τῶν παίδων ἐπυνθάνετο τί ἂν εἰη ταῦτα.
27The servant told him, "Your brother has come home, and your father has killed the fatted ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὅτι Ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἡκει, καὶ ἐθυσεν ὁ πατήρ σου τὸν μόσχον τὸν σιτευτόν, ὅτι ὑγιαίνοντα αὐτὸν ἀπέλαβεν.
28calf because he has him back safe and sound." But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out ὠργίσθη δὲ καὶ οὐκ ἠθελεν εἰσελθεῖν. ὁ δὲ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐξελθὼν παρεκάλει αὐτόν.
29and pleaded with him; but he retorted, "You know how I have slaved for you all these years; I never once disobeyed your orders; and you never gave me so much as a kid, for a feast with my friends. ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ, Ἰδοὺ τοσαῦτα ἐτη δουλεύω σοι καὶ οὐδέποτε ἐντολήν σου παρῆλθον, καὶ ἐμοὶ οὐδέποτε ἐδωκας ἐριφον ἵνα μετὰ τῶν φίλων μου εὐφρανθῶ·
30But now that this son of yours turns up, after running through your money with his women, you kill the fatted calf for him." ὅτε δὲ ὁ υἱός σου οὗτος ὁ καταφαγών σου τὸν βίον μετὰ πορνῶν ἦλθεν, ἐθυσας αὐτῷ τὸν σιτευτὸν μόσχον.
31"My boy," said the father, "you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Τέκνον, σὺ πάντοτε μετ' ἐμοῦ εἶ, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐμὰ σά ἐστιν·
32How could we help celebrating this happy day? Your brother here was dead and has come back to life, was lost and is found."'
 εὐφρανθῆναι δὲ καὶ χαρῆναι ἐδει, ὅτι ὁ ἀδελφός σου οὗτος νεκρὸς ἦν καὶ ἐζησεν, καὶ ἀπολωλὼς καὶ εὑρέθη.
