Евангелие от Луки 15

1 Бяху же приближающеся к нему вси мытарие и грешницы, послушати его.2 И роптаху фарисее и книжницы, глаголюще, яко сей грешники приемлет и с ними яст.3 Рече же к ним притчу сию, глаголя:4 кий человек от вас имый сто овец, и погубль едину от них, не оставит ли девятидесяти и девяти в пустыни и идет вслед погибшия, дондеже обрящет ю?5 и обрет возлагает на раме свои радуяся:6 и пришед в дом, созывает други и соседы, глаголя им: радуйтеся со мною, яко обретох овцу мою погибшую.7 глаголю вам, яко тако радость будет на небеси о единем грешнице кающемся, нежели о девятидесятих и девяти праведник, иже не требуют покаяния.8 Или кая жена имущи десять драхм, аще погубит драхму едину, не вжигает ли светилника, и пометет храмину, и ищет прилежно, дондеже обрящет?9 и обретши созывает другини и соседы, глаголющи: радуйтеся со мною, яко обретох драхму погибшую.10 Тако, глаголю вам, радость бывает пред ангелы Божиими о единем грешнице кающемся.11 Рече же: человек некий име два сына:12 и рече юнейший ею отцу: отче, даждь ми достойную часть имения. И раздели има имение.13 И не по мнозех днех собрав все мний сын, отиде на страну далече, и ту расточи имение свое, живый блудно.14 Изжившу же ему все, бысть глад крепок на стране той, и той начат лишатися:15 и шед прилепися единому от житель тоя страны: и посла его на села своя пасти свиния:16 и желаше насытити чрево свое от рожец, яже ядяху свиния: и никтоже даяше ему.17 В себе же пришед, рече: колико наемником отца моего избывают хлебы, аз же гладом гиблю?18 востав иду ко отцу моему, и реку ему: отче, согреших на небо и пред тобою,19 и уже несмь достоин нарещися сын твой: сотвори мя яко единаго от наемник твоих.20 И востав иде ко отцу своему. Еще же ему далече сущу, узре его отец его, и мил ему бысть, и тек нападе на выю его, и облобыза его.21 Рече же ему сын: отче, согреших на небо и пред тобою, и уже несмь достоин нарещися сын твой.22 Рече же отец к рабом своим: изнесите одежду первую и облецыте его, и дадите перстень на руку его и сапоги на нозе:23 и приведше телец упитанный заколите, и ядше веселимся:24 яко сын мой сей мертв бе, и оживе: и изгибл бе, и обретеся. И начаша веселитися.25 Бе же сын его старей на селе: и яко грядый приближися к дому, слыша пение и лики:26 и призвав единаго от отрок, вопрошаше: что (убо) сия суть?27 Он же рече ему, яко брат твой прииде: и закла отец твой телца упитанна, яко здрава его прият.28 Разгневася же, и не хотяше внити. Отец же его изшед моляше его.29 Он же отвещав рече отцу: се, толико лет работаю тебе и николиже заповеди твоя преступих, и мне николиже дал еси козляте, да со други своими возвеселился бых:30 егда же сын твой сей, изядый твое имение с любодейцами, прииде, заклал еси ему телца питомаго.31 Он же рече ему: чадо, ты всегда со мною еси, и вся моя твоя суть:32 возвеселитижеся и возрадовати подобаше, яко брат твой сей мертв бе, и оживе: и изгибл бе, и обретеся.

Luke 15

The Parable of the Lost Sheep and Coin

1 Now all the tax collectorss and sinners were comingt to hear him.

2 Butt the Phariseess and the experts in the lawt were complaining,t “This man welcomest sinners and eats with them.”
3 Sot Jesust told thems this parable:t4 “Which onet of you, if he has a hundreds sheep and loses one of them, would not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasturet and go look fort the one that is lost until he finds it?s5 Thent when he has found it, he places it on his shoulders, rejoicing.6 Returningt home, he calls togethers hist friends and neighbors, telling them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.’

7 I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinners who repents than over ninety-nine righteous peoplet who have no need to repent.t
8 “Or what woman, if she has ten silver coinss and losest one of them,t does not light a lamp, sweept the house, and search thoroughly until she finds it?9 Thent when she has found it, she calls together hert friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoices with me, for I have found the coint that I had lost.’

10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angelss over one sinner who repents.”

The Parable of the Compassionate Father

11 Thent Jesust said, “A man had two sons.12 Thet younger of them said to hist father, ‘Father, give me the share of the estatet that will belongt to me.’ Sot he divided hist assets between them.s13 Aftert a few days,t the younger son gathered together all he had and left on a journey to a distant country, and there he squanderedt his wealtht with a wild lifestyle.14 Thent after he had spent everything, a severe famine took place in that country, and he began to be in need.15 So he went and worked fort one of the citizens of that country, whot sent him to his fields to feed pigs.s16 Het was longing to eatt the carob podst the pigs were eating, butt no one gave him anything.17 But when he came to his sensest he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have foodt enough to spare, but here I am dying from hunger!18 I will get up and go to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinneds against heavens and againstt you.19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat met like one of your hired workers.”’20 Sot he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way from homet his father saw him, and his heart went out to him;ts he ran and huggedt his sont and kissed him.21 Thent his son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heavens and against you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’s22 But the father said to his slaves,t ‘Hurry! Bring the best robe,s and put it on him! Put a ring on his fingert and sandalss on his feet!23 Bringt the fattened calft and kill it! Let us eatt and celebrate,

24 because this son of mine was dead, and is alive again – he was lost and is found!’s Sot they began to celebrate.
25 “Now his older son was in the field. Ast he came and approached the house, he heard musics and dancing.26 Sot he called one of the slavest and asked what was happening.27 The slave replied,t ‘Your brother has returned, and your father has killed the fattened calft because he got his sont back safe and sound.’28 But the older sont became angryt and refuseds to go in. His father came out and appealed to him,29 but he answeredt his father, ‘Look! These many years I have worked like a slavet for you, and I never disobeyed your commands. Yett you never gave me even a goats so that I could celebrate with my friends!30 But when this son of yourss came back, who has devoureds your assets with prostitutes,s you killed the fattened calfs for him!’31 Thent the fathert said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and everything that belongs to me is yours.

32 It was appropriatet to celebrate and be glad, for your brothers was dead, and is alive; he was lost and is found.’”s
