Lc 15:1Erant autem appropinquantēs eī pūblicānī, et peccātōrēs ut audīrent illum.Now the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to him, so that they might hear him. Lc 15:2Et murmurābant pharisaeī, et scrībae, dīcentēs: Quia hic peccātōrēs recipit, et mandūcat cum illīs.And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling, saying: "This man receives sinners, and eats with them." Lc 15:3Et ait ad illōs parabolam istam dīcēns: Quis ex vōbīs homō, quī habet centum ovēs, et sī perdiderit ūnam ex illīs, nōnne dīmittit nōnāgintā novem in dēsertō, et vādit ad illam quae perierat, dōnec inveniat eam?And he spoke to them this parable, saying: "What man of you, who has a hundred sheep, and if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the desert, and go to that one which had been lost, until he finds it? Lc 15:5Et cum invēnerit eam, impōnit in humerōs suōs gaudēns: et veniēns domum convocat amīcōs et vīcīnōs, dīcēns illīs: Congrātulāminī mihi, quia invēnī ovem meam, quae perierat.And when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing: and coming home he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them: 'Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep, which had been lost.' Lc 15:7Dīcō vōbīs quod ita gaudium erit in caelō super ūnō peccātōre poenitentiam agente, quam super nōnāgintā novem jūstīs, quī nōn indigent poenitentiā.I say to you that so there will be joy in heaven over one sinner doing penance, more than over ninety-nine just who do not need penance.
Lc 15:8Aut quae mulier habēns drachmās decem, sī perdiderit drachmam ūnam, nōnne accendit lucernam, et ēverrit domum, et quaerit dīligenter, dōnec inveniat?Or what woman, having ten drachmas, if she has lost one drachma, does not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search carefully, until she finds it? Lc 15:9Et cum invēnerit convocat amīcās et vīcīnās, dīcēns: Congrātulāminī mihi, quia invēnī drachmam quam perdideram.And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, saying: 'Rejoice with me, because I have found the drachma which I had lost.' Lc 15:10Ita, dīcō vōbīs, gaudium erit cōram angelīs Deī super ūnō peccātōre poenitentiam agente.So, I say to you, there will be joy before the angels of God over one sinner doing penance." Lc 15:11Ait autem: Homō quīdam habuit duōs fīliōs: et dīxit adolēscentior ex illīs patrī: Pater, dā mihi portiōnem substantiae, quae mē contingit.And he said: "A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his father: 'Father, give me the portion of the property which falls to me.' Lc 15:12Et dīvīsit illīs substantiam.And he divided the property between them.
Lc 15:13Et nōn post multōs diēs, congregātīs omnibus, adolēscentior fīlius peregrē profectus est in regiōnem longinquam, et ibi dissipāvit substantiam suam vīvendō luxuriōsē.And not after many days, everything having been gathered together, the younger son set out abroad into a far-off region, and there he squandered his property by living extravagantly. Lc 15:14Et postquam omnia cōnsummāsset, facta est famēs valida in regiōne illā, et ipse coepit egēre.And after he had used up everything, a severe famine came about in that region, and he himself began to be in need. Lc 15:15Et abiit, et adhaesit ūnī cīvium regiōnis illīus: et mīsit illum in vīllam suam ut pāsceret porcōs.And he went away, and attached himself to one of the citizens of that region: and he sent him into his farm to feed pigs. Lc 15:16Et cupiēbat implēre ventrem suum dē siliquīs, quās porcī mandūcābant: et nēmō illī dabat.And he was longing to fill his belly with the pods which the pigs were eating: and no one was giving to him. Lc 15:17In sē autem reversus, dīxit: Quantī mercēnāriī in domō patris meī abundant pānibus, ego autem hīc fame pereō!But coming back to himself, he said: 'How many hired men in my father's house have plenty of bread, but I here am perishing with hunger!
Lc 15:18Surgam, et ībō ad patrem meum, et dīcam eī: Pater, peccāvī in caelum, et cōram tē: jam nōn sum dignus vocārī fīlius tuus: fac mē sīcut ūnum dē mercēnāriīs tuīs.I will get up, and I will go to my father, and I will say to him: "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you: I am no longer worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired men."' Lc 15:20Et surgēns vēnit ad patrem suum.And getting up, he came to his father. Lc 15:20Cum autem adhūc longē esset, vīdit illum pater ipsīus, et misericordiā mōtus est, et accurrēns cecidit super collum ejus, et ōsculātus est eum.But when he was still far off, his father saw him, and was moved with pity, and running up he fell upon his neck, and kissed him. Lc 15:21Dīxitque eī fīlius: Pater, peccāvī in caelum, et cōram tē: jam nōn sum dignus vocārī fīlius tuus.And the son said to him: 'Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you: I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' Lc 15:22Dīxit autem pater ad servōs suōs: Citō prōferte stolam prīmam, et induite illum, et date annulum in manum ejus, et calceāmenta in pedēs ejus: et addūcite vitulum sagīnātum, et occīdite, et mandūcēmus, et epulēmur: quia hic fīlius meus mortuus erat, et revīxit: perierat, et inventus est.But the father said to his servants: 'Quickly bring out the first robe, and clothe him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and bring the fattened calf, and kill it, and let us eat and feast: because this son of mine was dead, and has come to life again: he had been lost, and has been found.' Lc 15:24Et coepērunt epulārī.And they began to feast.
Lc 15:25Erat autem fīlius ejus senior in agrō: et cum venīret, et appropinquāret domuī, audīvit symphōniam et chorum: et vocāvit ūnum dē servīs, et interrogāvit quid haec essent.Now his elder son was in the field: and when he was coming, and drawing near to the house, he heard music and dancing: and he called one of the servants, and asked what these things were. Lc 15:27Isque dīxit illī: Frāter tuus vēnit, et occīdit pater tuus vitulum sagīnātum, quia salvum illum recēpit.And he said to him: 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe.' Lc 15:28Indignātus est autem, et nōlēbat introīre.But he was indignant, and was unwilling to go in. Lc 15:28Pater ergō illīus ēgressus, coepit rogāre illum.His father, therefore, having gone out, began to plead with him. Lc 15:29At ille respondēns, dīxit patrī suō: Ecce tot annīs serviō tibi, et numquam mandātum tuum praeterīvī: et numquam dedistī mihi haedum ut cum amīcīs meīs epulārer.But he, answering, said to his father: 'Look, for so many years I have been serving you, and never have I passed over your command: and never have you given me a young goat so that I might feast with my friends.
Lc 15:30Sed postquam fīlius tuus hic, quī dēvorāvit substantiam suam cum meretrīcibus, vēnit, occīdistī illī vitulum sagīnātum.But after this son of yours, who has devoured his property with prostitutes, came, you killed for him the fattened calf.' Lc 15:31At ipse dīxit illī: Fīlī, tū semper mēcum es, et omnia mea tua sunt: epulārī autem, et gaudēre oportēbat, quia frāter tuus hic mortuus erat, et revīxit;But he said to him: 'Son, you are always with me, and all my things are yours: but it was right to feast and to rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead, and has come to life again; Lc 15:32Perierat, et inventus est.He had been lost, and has been found.'"
