ἐν In αὐτῇ same τῇ the ὥρᾳ hour προσῆλθαν came near τινές certain Φαρισαῖοι Pharisees, λέγοντες saying αὐτῷ· to Him, Ἔξελθε Go out καί and πορεύου proceed ἐντεῦθεν, from here, ὅτι for Ἡρῴδης Herod θέλει desires σε You ἀποκτεῖναι. to kill. Καί And εἶπεν He said αὐτοῖς· to them, Πορευθέντες Having gone, εἴπατε say τῇ to the ἀλώπεκι fox ταύτῃ· that, Ἰδού Behold, ἐκβάλλω I cast out δαιμόνια demons, καί and ἰάσεις cures ἀποτελῶ I complete σήμερον today καί and αὔριον tomorrow, καί and τῇ the τρίτῃ third [day] τελειοῦμαι.

Καί And ἐγένετο it came to pass ἐν on τῷ the ἐλθεῖν going αὐτόν of Him εἰς into οἶκον a house τινός of one τῶν of the ἀρχόντων rulers τῶν of the Φαρισαίων Pharisees σαββάτῳ on a Sabbath φαγεῖν to eat ἄρτον bread, καί and αὐτοί they ἦσαν were παρατηρούμενοι watching αὐτόν. Him.

καί And ἰδού behold, ἄνθρωπος a man τὶς certain ἦν there was ὑδρωπικός with dropsy ἔμπροσθεν before αὐτοῦ. Him. καί And ἀποκριθείς answering, ὁ - Ἰησοῦς Jesus εἶπεν spoke πρός to τούς the νομικούς lawyers καί and Φαρισαίους to [the] Pharisees, λέγων· saying, Ἔξεστιν Is it lawful τῷ on the σαββάτῳ Sabbath θεραπεῦσαι to heal ἤ or οὔ; not? οἱ - δέ But ἡσύχασαν. they were silent.

Ἔλεγεν He was saying δέ then καί also τῷ to the [one] κεκληκότι having invited αὐτόν· Him, Ὅταν When ποιῇς you make ἄριστον a dinner ἤ or δεῖπνον, a supper, μή not φώνει call τούς - φίλους friends σου of you, μηδέ nor τούς the ἀδελφούς brothers σου of you, μηδέ nor τούς the συγγενεῖς relatives σου of you, μηδέ nor γείτονας neighbors πλουσίους, rich, μήποτε lest ever καί also αὐτοί they ἀντικαλέσωσιν should invite in return σε you, καί and γένηται be made ἀνταπόδομα recompense σοι. to you. ἀλλ ̓ But ὅταν when δοχήν a feast ποιῇς, you make, κάλει call πτωχούς, the poor, ἀναπείρους, the crippled, χωλούς, the lame, τυφλούς· the blind; καί and μακάριος blessed ἔσῃ, you will be, ὅτι because οὐ nothing ἔχουσιν they have ἀνταποδοῦναι to repay σοι, you. ἀνταποδοθήσεται It will be recompensed γάρ for σοι to you ἐν in τῇ the ἀναστάσει resurrection τῶν of the δικαίων. righteous.

Καί And ἕτερος another εἶπεν· said, Γυναῖκα A wife ἔγημα I have married, καί and διά because of τοῦτο this οὐ not δύναμαι I am able ἐλθεῖν. to come. Καί And παραγενόμενος having come, ὁ the δοῦλος servant ἀπήγγειλεν reported τῷ to the κυρίῳ master αὐτοῦ of him ταῦτα. these things. τότε Then ὀργισθείς having become angry, ὁ the οἰκοδεσπότης master of the house εἶπεν said τῷ to δούλῳ servant αὐτοῦ· of him, Ἔξελθε Go out ταχέως quickly εἰς into τάς the πλατείας streets καί and ῥύμας lanes τῆς of the πόλεως city, καί and τούς the πτωχούς poor καί and ἀναπείρους crippled καί and τυφλούς blind καί and χωλούς lame εἰσάγαγε bring in ὧδε. here. Καί And εἶπεν said ὁ the δοῦλος· servant, Κύριε, Sir, γέγονεν it has been done ὅ as ἐπέταξας, you did command, καί and ἔτι still τόπος room ἐστίν. there is. Καί And εἶπεν said ὁ the κύριος master πρός to τόν the δοῦλον· servant, Ἔξελθε Go out εἰς into τάς the ὁδούς highways καί and φραγμούς hedges καί and ἀνάγκασον compel [them] εἰσελθεῖν, to come in, ἵνα so that γεμισθῇ may be filled μου of me ὁ the οἶκος· house. λέγω I say γάρ for ὑμῖν to you ὅτι that οὐδείς not one τῶν the ἀνδρῶν men ἐκείνων of those τῶν - κεκλημένων having been invited γεύσεται will taste μου of me τοῦ the δείπνου. supper.

Συνεπορεύοντο Were going with δέ then αὐτῷ Him ὄχλοι crowds πολλοί, great; καί and στραφείς having turned, εἶπεν He said πρός to αὐτούς· them, Εἴ If τὶς anyone ἔρχεται comes πρός to με Me, καί and οὐ not μισεῖ hates τόν the πατέρα father ἑαυτοῦ of himself καί and τήν the μητέρα mother καί and τήν the γυναῖκα wife καί and τά the τέκνα children καί and τούς the ἀδελφούς brothers καί and τάς the ἀδελφάς sisters, ἔτι yes, τέ and καί even τήν the ψυχήν life ἑαυτοῦ, of him, οὐ not δύναται he is able εἶναι to be μου of Me μαθητής. disciple. ὅστις Whoever οὐ not βαστάζει carries τόν the σταυρόν cross ἑαυτοῦ of himself καί and ἔρχεται comes ὀπίσω after μου, Me, οὐ not δύναται is able εἶναι to be μου My μαθητής. disciple.

Τίς Which γάρ for ἐκ of ὑμῶν you, θέλων desiring πύργον a tower οἰκοδομῆσαι to build, οὐχί not πρῶτον first καθίσας having sat down, ψηφίζει counts τήν the δαπάνην, cost, εἰ whether ἔχει he has εἰς for ἀπαρτισμόν; [its] completion? ἵνα Thus μήποτε not ever θέντος he having laid αὐτοῦ of it θεμέλιον a foundation, καί and μή not ἰσχύοντος being able ἐκτελέσαι to finish, πάντες all οἱ - θεωροῦντες seeing [it] ἄρξωνται may begin αὐτῷ him ἐμπαίζειν to mock, λέγοντες saying ὅτι -, Οὗτος This ὁ - ἄνθρωπος man ἤρξατο began οἰκοδομεῖν to build καί and οὐ not ἴσχυσεν was able ἐκτελέσαι. to finish. Ἤ Or τίς what βασιλεύς king, πορευόμενος proceeding ἑτέρῳ with another βασιλεῖ king συμβαλεῖν to engage εἰς in πόλεμον war, οὐχί not, καθίσας having sat down, πρῶτον first βουλεύσεται will take counsel εἰ whether δυνατός able ἐστίν he is ἐν with δέκα ten χιλιάσιν thousand ὑπαντῆσαι to meet τῷ the [one] μετά with εἴκοσι twenty χιλιάδων thousand ἐρχομένῳ coming ἐπ ̓ against αὐτόν; him? εἰ If δέ now μή γέ, not, ἔτι still αὐτοῦ of him πόρρω far off ὄντος being, πρεσβείαν an embassy ἀποστείλας having sent, ἐρωτᾷ he asks τά - πρός for εἰρήνην. peace.

Εἶπεν He spoke δέ then πρός to αὐτούς them τήν the παραβολήν parable ταύτην this, λέγων· saying, Τίς What ἄνθρωπος man ἐκ of ὑμῶν you, ἔχων having ἑκατόν a hundred πρόβατα sheep, καί and ἀπολέσας having lost ἐκ of αὐτῶν them ἕν one, οὐ not καταλείπει leaves τά the ἐνενήκοντα ninety ἐννέα nine ἐν in τῇ the ἐρήμῳ open field, καί and πορεύεται goes ἐπί after τό the [one] ἀπολωλός having been lost, ἕως until εὕρῃ he finds αὐτό; it? καί And εὑρών having found [it], ἐπιτίθησιν he lays [it] ἐπί on τούς the ὤμους shoulders αὐτοῦ of him, χαίρων rejoicing. καί And ἐλθών having come εἰς to τόν the οἶκον house, συνκαλεῖ he calls together τούς the φίλους friends καί and τούς the γείτονας neighbors, λέγων saying αὐτοῖς· to them, Συνχάρητε Rejoice with μοι, me, ὅτι for εὗρον I have found τό the πρόβατον sheep μου of me, τό the [one] ἀπολωλός. having been lost! λέγω I say ὑμῖν to you ὅτι that οὕτως in the same way χαρά joy ἐν in τῷ - οὐρανῷ heaven ἔσται there will be ἐπί over ἑνί one ἁμαρτωλῷ sinner μετανοοῦντι repenting, ἤ rather than ἐπί over ἐνενήκοντα ninety ἐννέα nine δικαίοις righteous ones, οἵτινες who οὐ no χρείαν need ἔχουσιν have μετανοίας. of repentance.

Ἤ Or τίς what γυνή woman, δραχμάς drachmas ἔχουσα having δέκα ten, ἐάν if ἀπολέσῃ she should lose δραχμήν drachma μίαν, one, οὐχί not ἅπτει lights λύχνον a lamp καί and σαροῖ sweeps τήν the οἰκίαν house, καί and ζητεῖ seeks ἐπιμελῶς carefully ἕως until οὗ it εὕρῃ; she finds? καί And εὑροῦσα having found [it], συνκαλεῖ she calls together τάς the φίλας friends καί and γείτονας neighbors, λέγουσα· saying, Συνχάρητε Rejoice with μοι, me, ὅτι for εὗρον I have found τήν the δραχμήν drachma ἥν that ἀπώλεσα.
