11And He saidG3004, “A manG444 hadG2192 twoG1417 sonsG5207. 12The youngerG3501 of them saidG3004 to his fatherG3962, ‘FatherG3962, giveG1325 me 1the shareG3313 of the estateG3776 that 2is comingG1911 to me.’ And so he dividedG1244 his 34wealthG979 betweenG1244 them. 13And not manyG4183 daysG2250 laterG3326, the youngerG3501 sonG5207 gatheredG4863 everythingG3956 togetherG4863 and wentG589 onG589 aG589 journeyG589 to a distantG3117 countryG5561, and thereG1563 he squanderedG1287 his estateG3776 in 5wildG811 livingG2198. 14NowG1161 when he had 6spentG1159 everythingG3956, a severeG2478 famineG3042 occurredG1096 in that countryG5561, and he beganG757 doingG5302 withoutG5302. 15SoG2532 he wentG4198 and 7hiredG2853 himself outG2853 to oneG1520 of the citizensG4177 of that countryG5561, and he sentG3992 him into his fieldsG68 to feedG1006 pigsG5519. 16And he longedG1937 to haveG5526 his fillG5526 of the carobG2769 podsG2769 that the pigsG5519 were eatingG2068, and noG3762 oneG3762 was givingG1325 him anything. 17But when he cameG2064 to 8his sensesG1438, he saidG5346, ‘HowG4214 manyG4214 of my father’sG3962 hiredG3407 laborersG3407 haveG4052 moreG4052 thanG4052 enoughG4052 breadG740, but I am dyingG622 hereG5602 9from hungerG3042! 18I will setG450 outG450 and goG4198 to my fatherG3962, and will sayG3004 to him, “FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772, and 10inG1799 your sightG1799; 19I amG1510 noG3765 longerG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 your sonG5207; treatG4160 me as oneG1520 of your hiredG3407 laborersG3407.”’ 20SoG2532 he setG450 outG450 and cameG2064 to 11his fatherG3962. But when he was stillG2089 a longG3112 wayG3112 offG568, his fatherG3962 sawG3708 him and feltG4697 compassionG4697 for him, and ranG5143 and 1213embracedG1968G1909G5137 him and kissedG2705 him. 21And the sonG5207 saidG3004 to him, ‘FatherG3962, I have sinnedG264 againstG1519 heavenG3772 and 14inG1799 your sightG1799; I amG1510 noG3765 longerG3765 worthyG514 to be calledG2564 your sonG5207.’ 22But the fatherG3962 saidG3004 to his slavesG1401, ‘QuicklyG5035 bringG1627 outG1627 15the bestG4413 robeG4749 and putG1746 it on him, and 1617putG1325 a ringG1146 on his fingerG5495 and sandalsG5266 on his feetG4228; 23and bringG5342 the fattenedG4618 calfG3448, slaughterG2380 it, and let’s eatG2068 and celebrateG2165; 24for thisG3778 sonG5207 of mineG1473 was 18deadG3498 and has comeG326 toG326 lifeG326 againG326; he was lostG622 and has been foundG2147.’ And they beganG757 to celebrateG2165.
