All the tax collectors and sinners came near to him to hear him. 2 Therefore the Pharisees and the lawyers grumbled, saying: “This man receives sinners and eats with them!” 3 Then he spoke this comparison to them: 4 “Who is the man among you having a hundred sheep who does not, if one among them is lost, leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and will seek the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And after finding it he will put it on his back, having joy. 6 And after coming home he summons his friends and his neighbors and says to them: 'Be happy with me, for I have found my sheep, that was lost.' 7 I say to you that in the same manner, when one sinner finds repentance, [there] is in heaven a joy greater than [that] which [there] is concerning ninety-nine sinners that do not have need of repentance.
8 Or who is the woman who has ten drachmas who does not kindle a lamp and clean her house if one of them is lost, seeking closely until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she gathers her friends [melde: female friend] and says: 'Be happy with me, for I have found the drachma that was lost to me!' 10 Thus, I say to you, [there] will be joy among God's angels concerning one sinner who finds repentance.” 11 Tá quentes: “Enge nér as ye enget yondo atta. 12 Ar i ambe nessa mici tu quente ataryanna: “Atar, ánin anta i ranta i armaron ya lanta massenyan.” Tá *ciltanes laulestarya tún. 13 Epeta, apa lá rimbe auri, i ambe nessa yondo comyane ilqua ar lende oa mir haira nóre, ar tasse hantes oa telperya verca coiviesse.
14 Apa *yuhtanes ilqua enge urda saicele nóre tanasse, ar *yestanes same maure. 15 Lendes himyala er i quenion i marner nóre tanasse, ye mentane se mir restaryar tirien polcar. 16 Ar mernes quate inse i vainínen yar i polcar manter, mal *úquen antane sen nat.
11 Then he said: “[There] was a man with whom [there] were two sons. 12 And the younger among them [dual] said to his father: “Father, give me the part of the goods that falls to my portion.” Then he divided his livelihood to them [dual]. 13 Thereafter, after not many days, the younger son gathered everything and went away into a remote land, and here he threw away his money on a wild life.
14 After he used [or, spent] everything, [there] was a severe famine in that land, and he began to have need. 15 He went attaching himself to one of the people that lived in that land, who sent him into his fields to watch pigs. 16 And he wished to fill himself with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him a thing.
