15.4 Qui ex vobis, etc. Didiceras in superioribus abnegare negligentiam, vitare arrogantiam, devotionem sumere, sæcularibus occupationibus non teneri, caduca non præferre perpetuis. Sed quia fragilitas humana firmum nequit in tanto sæculi lubrico tenere vestigium, etiam adversus errorem remedium ibi medicus demonstrat, scilicet, judex spem veniæ non negat. Centum oves. Quia centenarius numerus perfectus est. Deus centum oves, id est perfectum numerum habuit, cum angelorum et hominum substantiam creavit; sed una periit, quando homo pascua vitæ peccando dereliquit: ergo quia rationalis creaturæ numerus pereunte homine erat diminutus, quærit in terra hominem ut summa integretur. Nonne dimittit. Quasi dicat: Murmuratis, quia peccatores recipio, sed ego non veni nisi ut aberrantes colligam, sicut unusquisque vestrum aberrantem ovem reducere laborat.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίς ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὑμῶν, ἔχων ἑκατὸν πρόβατα καὶ ἀπολέσας ἐξ αὐτῶν ἓν, οὐ καταλείπει τὰ ἐνενήκοντα ἐννέα ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ πορεύεται ἐπὶ τὸ ἀπολωλὸς, ἕως εὕρῃ αὐτό?

what person of you_all having /a/_hundred sheep and /having/_lost of them one not /is/_leaving the ninety nine in the desert and /is/_going after the_‹sheep› /having/_lost until ˱he˲_/may/_find it

Jesus is using this question as a teaching tool. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: “If one of you had 100 sheep and lost one of them, he would certainly leave the other 99 sheep in the wilderness and go looking for the sheep that had wandered off until he found it.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

τίς ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὑμῶν, ἔχων ἑκατὸν πρόβατα καὶ ἀπολέσας ἐξ αὐτῶν ἓν, οὐ καταλείπει

what person of you_all having /a/_hundred sheep and /having/_lost of them one not /is/_leaving

Jesus is offering the Pharisees and scribes an illustration that involves a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: “Suppose one of you had 100 sheep and you lost one of them. Then would you not certainly leave”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

τίς ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὑμῶν, ἔχων ἑκατὸν πρόβατα & ἕως εὕρῃ αὐτό

what person of you_all having /a/_hundred sheep & until ˱he˲_/may/_find it

Since Jesus begins the parable by asking, “Which man among you,” some languages would continue the parable in the second person. Alternate translation: “Which one of you, if you had 100 sheep … until you found it”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τίς ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὑμῶν

what person of you_all

This could mean: (1) while all of the Pharisees and scribes who are grumbling are probably men, Jesus is describing what any person, man or woman, would likely do in this situation, and he is telling the parable for the whole crowd to hear. So the term man here may be generic. Alternate translation: “Which person among you” (2) since Jesus speaks in his next parable of a woman doing something, he may be using a man and a woman in paired examples to offer a comprehensive teaching about the kingdom of God. In that case, the term man here would not be generic. Alternate translation: “Which of you men”
