¹

Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him.

¹

Бњхђ же приближа'ющеся е^мђ вс^и мытарїе и^ грᲇшницы посл'ђшати е^го”

²

And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

²

И$ ропта'хђ фарїсе'е и^ кни'жницы гл~юще. јако се'й грњшникы прїе'млеT, и^ с ни'ми ја^стъ”

³

And he spake unto them this parable, saying,

³

Рече же к нимъ приTчю сїю гл~я.

⁴

What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

⁴

кїи чл~къ эT васъ и^мы` ст^о ѓ'вецъ, и^ погђбль е^ді'нђ эT нихъ. не ѓ^ста'витᲆ ли^ девятьдесяᲄъ и^ девяT в# пђсты'ни, і^ и'детъ в# слњдъ поги'бᲆшаа до'ндеже ѓ^брящетъ ю&;

⁵

And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

⁵

и^ ѓ^брњтъ възлага'етъ на рамњ свои` радђяся”

⁶

And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and his neighbors, saying unto them, Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.

⁶

И$ пришеD в домъ съзываеT др'ђгы и^ съсњды гл~я и^мъ. радђитеся со мною`, ја%ко ѓ^брњтохъ ѓ^вцђ мою поги'бшђю”

⁷

I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance.

⁷

Гл~ю вамъ, ја%кота'ко ра'дость бђ'детъ на нб~си. ѓ^ е^ді'ноM грњшницњ ка'ющемся, нежели^ ѓ^ девятьдесятихъ и^ девять пра'ведъникъ, и^же не требђюT покаа'нїа”

⁸

Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it?

⁸

И$ли^ каа` жена` и^мђщи десяT драXмъ, а^ще погђбитъ е^ді'нђ дра'хмђ. не в#жиꙁа'етъ л^и свњти'лника, и^ помететъ хра'минђ, і^ и'щетъ прилњжъно, до'ндеже ѓ^бря'щетъ;

⁹

And when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and her neighbors, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I had lost.

⁹

и^ ѓ^брњтши съꙁыва'етъ дрђгы'ня и^ със'њды гл~ющи. радђитеся со мно'ю, ја%ко ѓ^брњтохъ драхъмђ поги'бшђю”

¹⁰

Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

¹⁰

Тако гл~ю вамъ, радость быва'етъ преD а^гг~лы бж~їи, ѓ^ е^ді'номъ грњшницњ ка'ющимъся”

¹¹

And he said, A certain man had two sons:

¹¹

Рече же. чл~къ нњкїи и^мњ` дв^а сн~а.

¹²

and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of thy substance that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

¹²

и^ рече ю^нњишїи е^ю` эTц~ђ. ѓ^ч~е, дажDь м^и досто'йнђю часть и^м'њнїа. и раꙁдњли и%ма и^мњ'нїе.

¹³

And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substance with riotous living.

¹³

и^ не по мно'ѕXњ дн~еX събравъ вс^е мнїи сн~ъ, эTи^де на сᲄранђ дале'че, и^ т^ђ расточи и^мњнїе свое, живы` блђ'дно.

¹⁴

And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to be in want.

¹⁴

и^жди'вшђ же е^мђ вс^е, бысть глаD крњ'покъ на странњ то'й, и^ то'й начатъ лиша'тися.

¹⁵

And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

¹⁵

и^ шеD прилњпися е^ді'номђ эT жи'тель тоа` страны. и^ посла` е^го на се'ла своя` пасти` свинїя.

¹⁶

And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

¹⁶

и^ жела'ше насы'тити чре'во свое` эT рожецъ, ја%же ја^дя'хђ свинїя. и^ никтоже даа'ше е^мђ”

¹⁷

But when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

¹⁷

в# себе же пришеD, рече. колико нае'мникомъ эTц~а мое^го и^збываютъ хлњбы, а^ꙁ же гла'домъ ги'блю;

¹⁸

I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight:

¹⁸

в#ставъ и^дђ къ эTц~ђ мое^мђ, и^ рекђ е^мђ. ѓ^ч~е, съгрњшиX на' нб~о и^ преD тобо'ю,

¹⁹

and I am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

¹⁹

и^ оу^же нњсмь досто'инъ нарещися сн~ъ твой, сътвори` м^я ја%ко е^ді'ного эT нае'мникᲆ твоиX.

²⁰

And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

²⁰

и^ в#ставъ и%де къ эTц~ђ свое^мђ” Є$ще же е^мђ далече сђщђ, оу^зрњ е^го эTц~ъ е^го, и^ милъ е^мђ бысть. и^ текъ нападе` на вы'ю е^го, и^ ѓ^блобыза` е^го”

²¹

And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: and I am no more worthy to be called thy son.

²¹

Рече же е^мђ сн~ъ. ѓ^ч~е, съгрњшихъ на' нб~о и^ преD тобо'ю, и^ оу^же нњсмь досто'инъ нарещися сн~ъ твой”

²²

But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

²²

Речеy эTц~ъ к# рабомъ свои'мъ. и^знесњте ѓ^де'ждђ пе'рвђю, и^ ѓ^блецᲇте е^го, и^ дади'те пр'ъстень на' рђкђ е^го, и^ сапогы на' ноѕњ.

²³

and bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make merry:

²³

и^ приведъше теле'цъ оу^пита'нныи, ꙁаколи'те, и^ ја%дъше весели'мся,

²⁴

for this my son was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

²⁴

ја%ко сн~ъ мой се'й мр~твᲆ б^њ, и^ ѓ^живе. і^ и^зги'блъ б^њ, и^ ѓ^брᲇтеся. и^ нача'шя весели'тися”

²⁵

Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.

²⁵

Бњ же сн~ъ е^го ста'рњи на селњ`. и^ ја%ко гряды` прибли'жися к# до'мђ, слы'ша пњнїа и^ ли'кы.

²⁶

And he called to him one of the servants, and inquired what these things might be.

²⁶

и^ призвавъ е^ді'ного эT ѓ^трокъ, въпраша'ше, чт^о оу^бо сїя сђтъ.

²⁷

And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

²⁷

ѓ%н же рече е^мђ. ја^ко братъ ᲄвой прїиде, и^ закла эTц~ъ твой телецъ оу^пита'нны=, ја^ко здра'ва е^го прїа'тъ”

²⁸

But he was angry, and would not go in: therefore his father came out, and entreated him.

²⁸

Раз#гнњ'вав же ся, и^ не хотяше вни'ти” эTц~ъ же е^го и^ꙁ#шед# моля'ше е^го”

²⁹

But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine; and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

²⁹

ѓ^н же эTвњщавъ, рече эTц~ђ. с^е толи'ко лњтъ рабо'таю тебњ, и^ николиже за'повњди твоя престђпихъ, и^ мн^њ николиже далъ е^си козляте, да съ дрђгы свои'ми въꙁвесели'лъся быхᲆ”

³⁰

but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf.

³⁰

Є$гда же сн~ъ твой се'й. и^зњдыи твое и^мњнїе с# любодᲇйцами, прїиде, ꙁакла` е^мђ телецъ пито'мыи”

³¹

And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that is mine is thine.

³¹

ѓ^н же рече е^мђ, чядо, т^ы всегда со мною е^си, и^ вся моя, твоя сђть.

³²

But it was meet to make merry and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

³²

възвесели'ти же ся и^ въꙁрадовати подоба'ше, ја%ко браT твой се'й мр~твъ б^њ, и^ ѓ^живе. і^ и^зги'блъ б^њ и^ ѓ^брњтеся”
