YAH SHUA ON THE LOST SHEEP
And all the customs agents and sinners approach to hear him: 2 and the Pharisees and scribes murmur, wording, This one awaits sinners and eats with them. 3 And he words this parable to them, speaking, 4 What human of you, having a hundred sheep, and loses one of them, leaves not the ninety-nine in the wilderness and goes after the lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he puts it on his shoulders, cheering: 6 and when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, wording to them, Rejoice with me; for I found my sheep - the lost. 7 I word to you, that likewise cheer becomes in the heavens over one sinner who repents - more than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. 8
YAH SHUA ON THE LOST DRACHMA
Or what woman, having ten drachmas, whenever she loses one drachma, does not indeed light a candle and sweep the house and seeks carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and her neighbors together, wording, Rejoice with me; for I found the drachma I lost. 10 Likewise, I word to you, cheer becomes in the sight of the angels of Elohim over one sinner who repents. 11
YAH SHUA ON THE LOST SON
And he says, A human has two sons: 12 and the younger of them says to his father, Father, give me the portion of substance laid up. - and he distributes his subsistence to them. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathers all together and goes abroad to a distant region; and there squanders his substance with dissipative living 14 and he spends it all: and a mighty famine becomes in that region; and he begins to lack: 15 and he goes and joins himself to a citizen of that region: and he sends him into his fields to graze swine: 16 and he pants to fill his belly with the pods the swine eat: and no one gives him. 17 And he comes to himself, and says, How many hirelings of my father have super abundant bread, and I destruct with famine! 18 I rise and go to my father, and say to him, Father, I sinned against the heavens and in your sight; 19 and am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hirelings. 20 And he rises, and comes to his father. and still being afar, his father sees him and has a sympathetic spleen and runs and falls on his neck and ardently kisses him: 21 - and the son says to him, Father, I sinned against the heavens and in your sight and am no more worthy to be called your son. 22 But the father says to his servants, Bring the preeminent stole and endue him; and give a finger ring on his hand and shoes on his feet; 23 and bring the fatted calf and sacrifice; and eat, and rejoice: 24 for this my son was dead, and relives; he was lost, and is found. - and they begin to rejoice. 25 And his elder son is in the field: and as he comes and approaches the house he hears symphony and chorus: 26 and he calls one of the lads, and asks what these be. 27 And he says to him, Your brother is come; and your father sacrifices the fatted calf because he takes him safe and sound. 28 - and he is wroth and wills to not enter. So his father comes out to console him: 29 and he answers his father, saying, Behold, so many years I serve you, never ever passed I over your misvah: and yet you never ever gave me a goat to rejoice with my friends: 30 but as soon as this - your son comes - who devoured your subsistence with whores, for him you sacrifice the fatted calf. 31 And he says to him, Child, you are ever with me; and all I have is yours. 32 It is necessary to rejoice, and cheer: for this your brother was dead and relives; and was lost, and is found.
