11  Then He said: "A certain man had two sons.

11  And Jesus said to them again, A man had two sons;

12  And the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give to me the share of the wealth which falls to [me].' So he divided to them his livelihood.

12  And his younger son said to him, My father, give me the portion, which is coming to me from your house. And he divided to them his possessions.

13  And not many days after, having gathered together all things, the younger son went on a journey to a distant country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living.

13  And after a few days, his younger son gathered everything that was his share, and went to a far-away country, and there he scattered his wealth in extravagant living.

14  But when he had spent everything, there arose a severe famine throughout that country, and he began to be in need.

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

14  And after he had consumed it all, a great famine occurred in that region, and he began to be in need.

15  Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

15  And he went and attached himself to one of the citizens of that region. And he sent him to his farm, in order to feed the swine.

15  So he went and got acquainted with one of the men of the city of that country; and he sent him to the field to feed the swine.

16  And he was longing to fill his stomach with the carob pods which the swine were eating, and no one gave him anything.

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

16  And he wanted to fill his belly with the scraps that the swine ate. But no one would give it to him.

17  But having come to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have an abundance of bread, and I am perishing with hunger!

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 here with hunger!

17  And returning to his senses, he said: ‘How many hired hands in my father’s house have abundant bread, while I perish here in famine!

18  I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,

18  I will rise and go to my father, and say to him, My father, I have sinned before heaven, and before you;

19  and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants."'

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

20  And he arose and went to his father. But when he was still far off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him.

20  And rising up, he went to his father. But while he was still at a distance, his father saw him, and he was moved with compassion, and running to him, he fell upon his neck and kissed him.

21  And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

22  But the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe and put [it] on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.

23  And bring the fatted calf here and slaughter it, and let us eat and be merry;

24  for this my son was dead and came to life, and he was lost and was found.' And they began to be merry.

24  For this son of mine was dead, and has revived; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to feast.
