Εἶπεν He said δέ· then, Ἄνθρωπος A man τὶς certain εἶχεν had δύο two υἱούς. sons. καί And εἶπεν said ὁ the νεώτερος younger αὐτῶν of them τῷ to πατρί· [the] father, Πάτερ, Father, δός give μοι to me τό the ἐπιβάλλον falling [to me] μέρος portion τῆς of the οὐσίας. property. ὁ - δέ And διεῖλεν he divided αὐτοῖς between them τόν the βίον. property. Καί And μετ ̓ after οὐ not πολλάς many ἡμέρας days, συναγαγών having gathered together πάντα all, ὁ the νεώτερος younger υἱός son ἀπεδήμησεν went away εἰς into χώραν a country μακράν distant, καί and ἐκεῖ there διεσκόρπισεν he wasted τήν the οὐσίαν estate αὐτοῦ of him, ζῶν living ἀσώτως. prodigally. Δαπανήσαντος Having spent δέ however αὐτοῦ of him πάντα all, ἐγένετο there arose λιμός a famine ἰσχυρά severe κατά throughout τήν the χώραν country ἐκείνην, that, καί and αὐτός he ἤρξατο began ὑστερεῖσθαι. to be in need. καί And πορευθείς having gone, ἐκολλήθη he joined himself ἑνί to one τῶν of the πολιτῶν citizens τῆς the χώρας country ἐκείνης, of that, καί and ἔπεμψεν he sent αὐτόν him εἰς into τούς the ἀγρούς fields αὐτοῦ of him βόσκειν to feed χοίρους, pigs. καί And ἐπεθύμει he was longing χορτασθῆναι to be filled ἐκ from τῶν the κερατίων pods ὧν that ἤσθιον were eating οἱ the χοῖροι, pigs; καί and οὐδείς no one ἐδίδου was giving αὐτῷ. to him. εἰς To ἑαυτόν himself δέ however ἐλθών having come, ἔφη· he was saying, Πόσοι How many μίσθιοι hired servants τοῦ of the πατρός father μου of me περισσεύονται have abundance ἄρτων, of bread, ἐγώ I δέ however λιμῷ with hunger ὧδε here ἀπόλλυμαι. am perishing? ἀναστάς Having risen up, πορεύσομαι I will go πρός to τόν the πατέρα father μου of me, καί and ἐρῶ I will say αὐτῷ· to him, Πάτερ, Father, ἥμαρτον I have sinned εἰς against τόν - οὐρανόν heaven καί and ἐνώπιον before σου, you; οὐκέτι no longer εἰμί am I ἄξιος worthy κληθῆναι to be called υἱός son σου· of you. ποίησον Make με me ὡς like ἕνα one τῶν of the μισθίων servants σου. of you. Καί And ἀναστάς having risen up, ἦλθεν he went πρός to τόν the πατέρα father ἑαυτοῦ. of himself. ἔτι Still δέ now αὐτοῦ he μακράν far ἀπέχοντος being distant, εἶδεν saw αὐτόν him ὁ the πατήρ father αὐτοῦ of him, καί and ἐσπλαγχνίσθη was moved with compassion, καί and δραμών having run, ἐπέπεσεν fell ἐπί upon τόν the τράχηλον neck αὐτοῦ of him καί and κατεφίλησεν kissed αὐτόν. him. Εἶπεν Said δέ then ὁ the υἱός son αὐτῷ· to him, Πάτερ, Father, ἥμαρτον I have sinned εἰς against τόν - οὐρανόν heaven καί and ἐνώπιον before σου, you; οὐκέτι no longer εἰμί am I ἄξιος worthy κληθῆναι to be called υἱός son σου. of you. Εἶπεν Said δέ then ὁ the πατήρ father πρός to τούς the δούλους servants αὐτοῦ· of him, Ταχύ Quickly ἐξενέγκατε bring out στολήν robe τήν the πρώτην best καί and ἐνδύσατε clothe αὐτόν, him, καί and δότε give δακτύλιον a ring εἰς for τήν the χεῖρα hand αὐτοῦ of him, καί and ὑποδήματα sandals εἰς for τούς his πόδας, feet; καί and φέρετε having brought τόν the μόσχον calf τόν - σιτευτόν, fattened, θύσατε, kill [it], καί and φαγόντες having eaten, εὐφρανθῶμεν, let us be merry. ὅτι For οὗτος this ὁ - υἱός son μου of mine νεκρός dead ἦν was, καί and ἀνέζησεν, is alive again; ἦν he was ἀπολωλώς lost, καί and εὑρέθη. is found. καί And ἤρξαντο they began εὐφραίνεσθαι. to be merry. Ἦν Was δέ now ὁ the υἱός son αὐτοῦ of him, ὁ the πρεσβύτερος elder, ἐν in ἀγρῷ· [the] field; καί and ὡς while ἐρχόμενος coming [up], ἤγγισεν he drew near τῇ to the οἰκίᾳ, house, ἤκουσεν he heard συμφωνίας music καί and χορῶν, dancing. καί And προσκαλεσάμενος having called near ἕνα one τῶν of the παίδων servants, ἐπυνθάνετο he began inquiring τί what ἄν - εἴη might be ταῦτα. these things. ὁ - δέ And εἶπεν he said αὐτῷ to him ὅτι -, ὁ The ἀδελφός brother σου of you ἥκει, is come, καί and ἔθυσεν has killed ὁ the πατήρ father σου of you τόν the μόσχον calf τόν - σιτευτόν, fattened, ὅτι because ὑγιαίνοντα in good health αὐτόν him ἀπέλαβεν. he has received. Ὠργίσθη He was angry δέ however, καί and οὐ not ἤθελεν was willing εἰσελθεῖν, to go in. ὁ - δέ And πατήρ the father αὐτοῦ of him, ἐξελθών having gone, παρεκάλει was begging αὐτόν. him. ὁ - δέ And ἀποκριθείς answering, εἶπεν he said τῷ to πατρί [the] father αὐτοῦ· of him, Ἰδού Behold, τοσαῦτα so many ἔτη years δουλεύω I serve σοι you, καί and οὐδέποτε never ἐντολήν a commandment σου of you παρῆλθον, I disobeyed, καί and ἐμοί to me οὐδέποτε never ἔδωκας did you give ἔριφον a young goat, ἵνα that μετά with τῶν the φίλων friends μου of me εὐφρανθῶ· I might make merry. ὅτε When δέ however ὁ the υἱός son σου of you οὗτος this, ὁ the [one] καταφαγών having devoured σου your τόν - βίον living μετά with πορνῶν prostitutes, ἦλθεν, came, ἔθυσας you have killed αὐτῷ for him τόν the σιτευτόν fattened μόσχον. calf! ὁ - δέ And εἶπεν he said αὐτῷ· to him, Τέκνον, Son, σύ you πάντοτε always μετ ̓ with ἐμοῦ me εἶ, are, καί and πάντα all τά that ἐμά [is] mine, σά yours ἐστίν· is. εὐφρανθῆναι To make merry δέ however καί and χαρῆναι to rejoice ἔδει, it was fitting, ὅτι because ὁ the ἀδελφός brother σου of you οὗτος this, νεκρός dead ἦν was, καί and ἔζησεν, is alive again; καί and ἀπολωλώς he was lost, καί and εὑρέθη. is found.

Ἔλεγεν He was saying δέ now καί also πρός to τούς the μαθητάς· disciples, Ἄνθρωπος A man τὶς certain ἦν there was πλούσιος rich, ὅς who εἶχεν had οἰκονόμον, a manager, καί and οὗτος he διεβλήθη was accused αὐτῷ unto him ὡς as διασκορπίζων is wasting τά the ὑπάρχοντα possessions αὐτοῦ. of him. καί And φωνήσας having called αὐτόν him, εἶπεν he said αὐτῷ· to him, Τί What [is] τοῦτο this ἀκούω I hear περί concerning σοῦ; you? ἀπόδος Give τόν the λόγον account τῆς of the οἰκονομίας stewardship σου, of you; οὐ not γάρ for δύνῃ you are able ἔτι any longer οἰκονομεῖν. to manage. Εἶπεν Said δέ then ἐν within ἑαυτῷ himself ὁ the οἰκονόμος· manager, Τί What ποιήσω, shall I do, ὅτι for ὁ the κύριος master μου of me ἀφαιρεῖται is taking away τήν the οἰκονομίαν management ἀπ ̓ from ἐμοῦ; me? σκάπτειν To dig οὐ not ἰσχύω, I am able; ἐπαιτεῖν to beg αἰσχύνομαι. I am ashamed. ἔγνων I know τί what ποιήσω, I will do ἵνα so that ὅταν when μετασταθῶ I shall have been removed ἐκ from τῆς the οἰκονομίας management, δέξωνται they might receive με me εἰς into τούς the οἴκους homes αὐτῶν. of them. Καί And προσκαλεσάμενος having called to [him] ἕνα one ἕκαστον each τῶν of the χρεοφειλετῶν debtors τοῦ of the κυρίου master ἑαυτοῦ of him, ἔλεγεν he was saying τῷ to the πρώτῳ· first, Πόσον How much ὀφείλεις owe you τῷ to κυρίῳ master μου; of me? ὁ - δέ And εἶπεν· he said, Ἑκατόν A hundred βάτους baths ἐλαίου. of oil. ὁ - δέ And εἶπεν he said αὐτῷ· to him, Δέξαι Take σου your τά the γράμματα bill καί and, καθίσας having sat down ταχέως quickly, γράψον write πεντήκοντα. fifty. Ἔπειτα Then ἑτέρῳ to another εἶπεν· he said, Σύ You δέ now πόσον how much ὀφείλεις; owe? ὁ - δέ And εἶπεν· he said, Ἑκατόν A hundred κόρους cors σίτου. of wheat. Λέγει He says αὐτῷ· to him, Δέξαι Take σου your τά - γράμματα bill καί and γράψον write ὀγδοήκοντα. eighty. Καί And ἐπῄνεσεν praised ὁ the κύριος master τόν the οἰκονόμον manager τῆς - ἀδικίας unrighteous, ὅτι because φρονίμως shrewdly ἐποίησεν· he had acted. ὅτι For οἱ the υἱοί sons τοῦ of the αἰῶνος age τούτου this φρονιμώτεροι more shrewd ὑπέρ than τούς the υἱούς sons τοῦ of the φωτός light εἰς in τήν the γενεάν generation τήν - ἑαυτῶν of themselves εἰσίν. are.
