Old/New Testament

15 Now de all pas the ho tax collectors telōnēs and kai the ho sinners hamartōlos used to eimi come near engizō him autos to listen akouō to him autos. ² And kai the ho Pharisees Pharisaios and kai the ho scribes grammateus were grumbling diagongyzō, saying legō, “ This houtos fellow welcomes prosdechomai sinners hamartōlos and kai eats synesthiō with them autos!”

³ So de he told legō them autos · ho this houtos parable parabolē. ⁴ “ Which tis man anthrōpos among ek you hymeis, who has echō a hundred hekaton sheep probaton, · kai should he lose apollymi one heis of ek them autos, would not ou leave kataleipō the ho ninety-nine enenēkonta ennea in en the ho open erēmos pasture and kai go poreuō after epi the ho one that is lost apollymi until heōs he finds heuriskō it autos? ⁵ And kai when he finds heuriskō it, would he not place epitithēmi it on epi · ho his autos shoulders ōmos, rejoicing chairō? ⁶ And kai when he returns erchomai to eis his ho house oikos, would he not call synkaleō together his ho friends philos and kai his ho neighbors geitōn, and say legō to them autos, ‘ Rejoice synchairō with me egō, for hoti I have found heuriskō · ho my egō sheep probaton that ho was lost apollymi’? ⁷ I tell legō you hymeis, in the same houtōs way there will be eimi more joy chara in en · ho heaven ouranos over epi one heis sinner hamartōlos who repents metanoeō than ē over epi ninety-nine enenēkonta ennea righteous dikaios people who hostis have echō no ou need chreia of repentance metanoia.

⁸ “ Or ē what tis woman gynē, who has echō ten deka silver drachmē coins , should ean she lose apollymi one heis coin drachmē, would not ouchi light haptō a lamp lychnos, · kai sweep saroō the ho house oikia, and kai search zēteō diligently epimelōs until heōs hos she finds heuriskō it? ⁹ And kai when she finds heuriskō it, would she not call synkaleō together her ho friends philos and kai neighbors geitōn, saying legō, ‘ Rejoice synchairō with me egō, for hoti I have found heuriskō the ho coin drachmē that hos I had lost apollymi’? ¹⁰ Just houtōs so , I tell legō you hymeis, there is ginomai joy chara before enōpion the ho angels angelos of ho God theos over epi one heis sinner hamartōlos who repents metanoeō.”
