Homo quidam habuit duos filios, et dixit adulescentior ex illis patri, "Pater, da mihi portionem substantiae quae me contingit.”

A certain man had two sons, and the younger of them said to his father, “Father, give me a portion of the property which belongs to me.”

Et divisit illis substantiam.

And he divided the property for that man.

Et non post multos dies, congregatis omnibus, adulescentior filius peregre profectus est in regionem longinquam et ibi dissipavit substantiam suam vivendo luxuriose.

And not many days later, everything having been brought together, the younger son set out abroad into a far-off region and there, he squandered the property by living luxuriously.

Et postquam omnia consummasset, facta est fames valida in regione illa, et ipse coepit egere.

After he had consumed everything, there was a bad famine in that region, and he himself began to be in need.

Et abiit et adhaesit uni civium regionis illius; et misit illum in villam suam ut pasceret porcos.

He went away and stuck to one of the citizens of that region; he sent him into his house, so that he might feed the pigs.

Et cupiebat implere ventrem suum de siliquis quas porci manducabant, et nemo illi dabat.

He was desiring to fill up his own stomach from the corn husks, which the pigs were eating, and no one was giving to him.

In se autem reversus, dixit, "Quanti mercennarii patris mei abundant panibus; ego autem hic fame pereo! Surgam, et ibo ad patrem meum, et dicam illi, 'Pater, peccavi in caelum et coram te, et iam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus; fac me sicut unum de mercennariis tuis?"

He, having returned to himself, said, “How many hired men to my father have plenty of bread; but here I am dying from hunger. I shall rise and go to my father and shall say to him, “Father, I sinned against heaven and against you, and I am not worthy to be called your son, make me like one of your hired servants.”

Et surgens venit ad patrem suum.

And he, rising, came to his father. 

Cum autem adhuc longe esset, vidit illum pater ipsius, et misericordia motus est, et accurrens cecidit supra collum eius, et osculatus est illum.

When he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved by pity, running, he fell on his neck and kissed him.

Dixitque ei filius, "Pater peccavi in caelum et coram te; iam non sum dignus vocari filius tuus."

And the son said to him, “Father I sinned against heaven and against you; I am not worthy to be called your son.”

Dixit autem pater ad servos suos, "Cito proferte stolam primam et induite illum, et date anulum in manum eius et calceamenta in pedes, et adducite vitulum saginatum et occidite, et manducemus et epulemur, quia hic filius meus mortuus erat et revixit, perierat et inventus est."

The father said to his servants, “Quickly, bring out the best garments and clothe him, and bestow a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet, and bring the fattened calf and kill it, let us eat and let us feast, this son of mine was dead and he has lived again, he had been lost and he has been found.

Et coeperunt epulari.

And they began to feast.

Erat autem filius eius senior in agro; et cum veniret et appropinquaret domui, audivit symphoniam et chorum, et vocavit unum de servis et interrogavit quae haec essent.

His older son was in the field; when he came and was approaching the house, he heard music and dancing, and called to one of the servants and asked what these things were.

Isque dixit illi, "Frater tuus venit, et occidit pater tuus vitulum saginatum, quia salvum illum recepit."

The servant said to him, “your brother has come, your father killed the fattened calf, since he has received him safe.”

Indignatus est autem et nolebat introire Pater ergo illius egressus, coepit rogare illum.

He was angered and he was not wanting to go inside, therefore his father, having gone out, began to ask him.

At ille, respondens, dixit patri suo, "Ecce tot annis servio tibi et numquam mandatum tuum praeterii, et numquam dedisti mihi haedum ut cum amicis meis epularer; sed postquam filius tuus hic, qui devoravit substantiam suam cum meretricibus, venit, occidisti illi vitulum saginatum."

The older son, responding, said to his father, “I have served you for so many years, and never have I forsaken your command, and never did you give me a goat so that I may feast with my friends; but after this son of yours came, who squandered his property with prostitutes, you have slaughtered the fattened calf for him.”

At ipse dixit illi, "Fili, tu semper me cum es, et omnia mea tua sunt; epulari autem et gaudere oportebat, quia frater tuus hic mortuus erat et revixit, perierat et inventus est." (Luke 15.11-32)

The father, himself, said to this man, “son, you are always with me, and all my things are yours; it was fitting to feast and rejoice because this brother of yours had died and has come back to life, he had gotten lost but now he is found.” (Luke 15.11-32)

Petis ut tibi avunculi mei exitum scribam, quo verius trader posteris possis.

Gratis ago; nam video morti eius, si celebretur a te, immortalem gloriam esse propositam.

I give thanks; for I see that immortal glory has been added to his death, if it should be celebrated by you.

Quamvis ipse plurima opera et mansura condiderit, multum tamen perpetuitati eius scriptorium tuorum aeternitas addet.

Equidem beatos puto, quibus deorum munere datum est aut facere scribenda aut scribere legenda; beatissimos vero, quibus utrumque.

Truly, I believe them happy, to whom it has been granted by a gift of the gods either to do things fit to be written about or to write things fit to be read about; in truth, I consider them most happy to whom both has been granted.

Nam longissimo velut trunco elata in altum quibusdam ramis diffundebatur, candida interdum, interdum sordida et maculosa, prout terram cineremve sustulerat.

Vertit ille Consilium et, quod studioso animo incohaverat, obit maximo.

Deducit quadriremes, ascendit ipse non Rectinae modo, sed multis (erat enim frequens amoenitas orae) laturus auxilium.

He launched the warships, he, himself, sails the sea not only for Rectina, but also for many (the charm of the shore was crowded) intending to bring aid.

Properat illuc, unde alii fugiunt, rectumque cursum, recta gubernacula in periculum tenet, adeo solutus metu ut omnes illius mali motus, omnes figuras, ut deprenderat oculis, dictaret enotaretque.

Iam navibus cinis incidebat, calidior et densior, iam pumices etiam nigrique et ambusti et fracti igne lapides.

Quo tunc avunculus meus secundissimo invectus complectitur trepidantem, consolatur, hortatur, utque timorem eius sua Securitate leniret, deferri in balineum iubet; lotus accubat, cenat aut hilaris aut, quod est aeque magnum, similis hilari.

Then, my uncle, carrying along by the most favorable wind, embraces the trembling one, he consoles him, urges him, so that he might soothe his fear by his own lack of anxiety, he commands himself to be carried to a bath; having bathed, he sit back at the table, he eats, he’s either cheerful or, equally great, pretending to be cheerful.

Tu potissima excerpes; aliud est enim epistulam, aliud historiam, aliud amico, aliud omnibus scribere. Vale.

Si te dolor aliqui corporis aut infirmitas veltudinis tuae tenuit quominus ad ludos venires, fortunae magis tribuo quam sapientiae tuae; sin haec, quae ceteri mirantur, contemnenda duxisti et, cum per valetudinem posses, venire tamen noluisti, utrumque laetor, et sine dolor corporis te fuisse et animo valuisse, cum ea, quae sine causa mirantur alii, neglexeris.

If some pain of your body has held you back or the weakness of your health, so that you could not come to the games, I attribute it more to luck than to your wisdom; on the contrary, if you consider these things worthy of condemnation, which others are amazed at, although you were able to, nevertheless, you did not wish to come, I rejoice in each of these things, that you were without pain of body and that you were strong in spirit since you neglected it which others admire without cause.

Omnino, si quaeris, ludi apparatissimi, sed non tui stomachi; coniecturam enim facio de meo: nam primum honoris causa de scaena redierant ei, quos ego honoris causa de scaena decessisse arbitrabar; deliciae vero tuae, noster Aesopus, eius modi fuit ut ei desinere per omnis homines liceret.

Altogether, if you search, the games were most sumptuous, but not of your taste; I indeed make a guess from my tastes: since those people had returned to the stage for the sake of honor, whom I thought had left from the stage for the sake of their honor; truly your favorite, our Aesopus, was of this sort, namely that it was permitted for him to stop, according to all the people.

Is iurare cum coepisset, vox eum defecit illo loco, “si sciens fallo.”

When he had begun to make an oath, his voice failed him in that place, “if I knowingly fail.”

Quid tibi ego alia narrem?

Why should I narrate the other things to you?

Nosti enim reliquos ludos, qui ne id quidem leporis habuerunt quod solent mediocres ludi; apparatus enim spectatio tollebat omnem hilaritatem.

You know the rest of the games, which certainly did not even have that little bit of charm, which even the mediocre games are accustomed to have; the spectacle of the elaborate display was destroying all the joy.

Quid enim delectationis habent sescenti muli in Clytaemestra? aut in Equo Troiano creterrarum tria milia? aut armatura varia peditatus et equitatus in aliqua pugna?

What bit of delight do 600 mules in Clytemnestra have? Or 3000 craters in the Trojan Horse? Or the various armor of the infantry and cavalry in some battle?
