28. | But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work to day in my vineyard. | Quid autem vobis videtur ? Homo quidam habebat duos filios, et accedens ad primum, dixit : Fili, vade hodie, operare in vinea mea. | τι δε υμιν δοκει ανθρωπος ειχεν τεκνα δυο και προσελθων τω πρωτω ειπεν τεκνον υπαγε σημερον εργαζου εν τω αμπελωνι μου |
29. | And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went. | Ille autem respondens, ait : Nolo. Postea autem, pnitentia motus, abiit. | ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ου θελω υστερον δε μεταμεληθεις απηλθεν |
30. | And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not. | Accedens autem ad alterum, dixit similiter. At ille respondens, ait : Eo, domine, et non ivit : | και προσελθων τω δευτερω ειπεν ωσαυτως ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν εγω κυριε και ουκ απηλθεν |
31. | Which of the two did the father's will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you. | quis ex duobus fecit voluntatem patris ? Dicunt ei : Primus. Dicit illis Jesus : Amen dico vobis, quia publicani et meretrices præcedent vos in regnum Dei. | τις εκ των δυο εποιησεν το θελημα του πατρος λεγουσιν αυτω ο πρωτος λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους αμην λεγω υμιν οτι οι τελωναι και αι πορναι προαγουσιν υμας εις την βασιλειαν του θεου |
32. | For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him. | Venit enim ad vos Joannes in via justitiæ, et non credidistis ei : publicani autem et meretrices crediderunt ei : vos autem videntes nec pnitentiam habuistis postea, ut crederetis ei. | ηλθεν γαρ προς υμας ιωαννης εν οδω δικαιοσυνης και ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω οι δε τελωναι και αι πορναι επιστευσαν αυτω υμεις δε ιδοντες ου μετεμεληθητε υστερον του πιστευσαι αυτω |
(*) μεταμεληθεις, "repentance", -- different than μετανοια, "penance". The former also describes the state of mind of Judas (Mt. 27:3) and is a state of regret not quite amouning to a penance. It is μετανοια that was preached by St. John the Baptist and Jesus.
