AQK
Arika nung nga ma abi ta ankor mmimi, nebi andishir anung mansi abi zup mbombom, bana dibi bing ni Yesu, tiba wo wu.
BSB
BSB:
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
2
AQK
Asi andishir ani Farisi nebi tsar amoˈ mi bana yik ama, siba dibi ruka abum tadi, “Hai, ndishira awama ata bi zup mbombom, aba ri ki ri abing ndo na wu.”
BSB
BSB:
So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”

Asi Yesu ban ba ankpyeng ayama. Ta di,
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told them this parable:
4
AQK
“Aba di nung ming min asi ni awantam agina, asi agin na dar. Ati dung soˈ tris ne tris ibama, tiba koma ti wop awami na dara, se na yiku sang yi?
BSB
BSB:
“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the pasture and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?
5
AQK
Nta yik wantama, ati nyer, ati tsoˈ wu saˈ agakto,
BSB
BSB:
And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
6
AQK
ti ba akam akoma kop. Tiba gyo adzidzen ama ne abami ba song ndo na wu, tiba diba, ‘Gina bi raˈ ngga nyera. Ti ngga ni yik wantam awami na dara.’
BSB
BSB:
comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
7
AQK
Ngga ban gina, nema ati nyer awowon shu,mi awami na kam san ta dung nam zup mbombom ma, ati nyer nang andishir soˈ tris ni tris, abami bana tsoˈ atuman basi abi zup didik.
BSB
BSB:
I tell you that in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who do not need to repent.
8
AQK
“Aba di uwa nung, awa asi ni ankor kirbi mi wur, gin ti dar. Bati mor ki der ma, tiba rir bubum, ta kun kop ma, ti ba dibi wop ka awowon, se na yik ka ring sang yi?
BSB
BSB:
Or what woman who has ten silver coins and loses one of them does not light a lamp, sweep her house, and search carefully until she finds it?
9
AQK
Mi ta yik ka, ati bing adzidzen ama nebi abami ba song ndo, ta diba, ‘Gina bi raˈ ngga nyera, ti ngga ni yik kirbi ayami na dara.’
BSB
BSB:
And when she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors to say, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost coin.’
10
AQK
Ngga ban gina, yiti si ma, ati nyer iti abi tum Arik mi gin na dung zup mbombom ma ta kam asan.”
BSB
BSB:
In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
11
AQK
Yesu na vung reng ta adi, “Nati ndishir nung awami asi ne mun nirum awaa.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus said,
“There was a man who had two sons.
12
AQK
Vɨn tsap ming mana na adi ada man, ‘Ada, wabi nik ngga kiki mung adzaˈa.’ Asi ada man agap ba kiki ma akpaman.”
BSB
BSB:
The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
13
AQK
“Mi bi yini gong baˈ, asi vɨn tsap abing kiki ma boboˈ ta gur, akoma mmimi nung gbangbang. Amung nga mi na koma ti ta ankor ara ming ku song ma bi ti gbungbu.
BSB
BSB:
After a few days, the younger son got everything together and journeyed to a distant country, where he squandered his wealth in wild living.
14
AQK
Gong kami na ri kiyami na sima neya boboˈ, asi mbombom gyong ka rɨr boboˈ mmimima, asi awa vung sang nga ki.
BSB
BSB:
After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
15
AQK
Ti sima, awa koma bi wop ndum ni ndishir nung ni mmimima, asiwa tum wu bati ber wu ane addi.
BSB
BSB:
So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
16
AQK
Na wop aba shu nne ma ni anfur nkunkun yami ane addi ba ri. Ba awami na nik wu kinung.
BSB
BSB:
He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
17
AQK
“Mi susun ma ni kam nngaˈ, asi awa di itu ma, ‘To abi nam ndum ne ada mung nidum ba ri shir ta dung mbira. Tiba di ngga wa ti kuu gyong ayang.’
BSB
BSB:
Finally he came to his senses and said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have plenty of food, but here I am, starving to death!
18
AQK
Ngga ti ngur koma ni ada mung ti diwu, ‘Ada, ngga ni tara Atikop Arik ni shu, ne wa misi.
BSB
BSB:
I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
19
AQK
Biyi ti aba ya gyo ngga ti zu mi baˈ. Wabi dung ngga bisi gin ming ku agan abi nam wa ndum.’
BSB
BSB:
I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
20
AQK
Asi awa gur ta vung tsir, ta koma ni ada ma. “Tsoˈ ri mi asi gbangbang, asi ada ma ato wu gi, asiwa avung ro susun ma. Ta gur ni tsur, ta koma ati kpap zuma gir, ta dibi nyin wu gir.
BSB
BSB:
So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still in the distance, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.
21
AQK
“Asi vɨn na adi, ‘Ada, ngga ni tara Atikop Arik ni shu, ti ya nam wa misi. Ba ngga ni mar aba ya gyo ngga ti zu mi baˈ.’
BSB
BSB:
The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22
AQK
“Nema ada ma na gyo agan na ma, ta diba, ‘Andada. Gina bi gir antur ankpyaˈ aku wyer nang, aba sung wu. Gina bi sung wu vɨna ankawun vɨn koˈ, gina bi ya sung wu akpadza adza.’
BSB
BSB:
But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
23
AQK
Gir gin randong ni nkpong, aba waˈ. Ti kwara bi tang, ti nyer.
BSB
BSB:
Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
24
AQK
Ti zu mung ama, na ka kuu, nema adzaˈa awa na kam angaˈ. Na di' adar, adzaˈa na yik ku. Siba vung nyer awowon.
BSB
BSB:
For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
25
AQK
“Mi asi ming ku nam ama, zuma ningur nasi ankwang. Mi na atip anyi kop, asi awa wo ba dibi doˈ aron, ne angkpɨm ayi zur.
BSB
BSB:
Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26
AQK
Asi awa gyo gin ming agan abi kopa, ta rip wu asi ani ya tsin.
BSB
BSB:
So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
27
AQK
“ ‘Asi awa adi wu, Zu min tsap na angaˈ,’ awa ta nyima, ‘asi ada min adung ba vung randong nisi ni nkpong ama waˈ, ti zu min na angaˈ kop keke.’
BSB
BSB:
‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’
28
AQK
“Nema zu man ningura na ti nfu awowon, ta kaˈ rɨr kopa. Asi ada ma awong aru ta ben wu aba ri ming kopa.
BSB
BSB:
The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
29
AQK
Nema siwa tayima ada ma, ‘To boboˈ ashe ayama, ngga dibi nam wa ndum mi gan, ba ngga ni zen kaˈ bang mmi ba. Ba wani zen nik ngga ko vɨn gugu tin gyo adzidzen amung kwara bi tang neba baˈ.
BSB
BSB:
But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
30
AQK
Nema mi zumi ama awa na ngaˈ, awami na koma ti var kiki mi ater atu yi kilaki, na ngaˈ kop wani waˈ wu randong awami asi ni nkpong.’
BSB
BSB:
But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31
AQK
“Asi ada ma adi wu, zu mung, kowuni arik kwara si ndo ni wa, boboˈ kiyami ngga sima neya yasi mi.
BSB
BSB:
‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
32
AQK
‘Yini ti kwara bi nyer tiya ti nne kikar, atu yami zu min ama awami naka kuu, adza'a awa na ngaˈ tsitsir, na dik ka dar, nema na yik wu.’ ”
BSB
BSB:
But it was fitting to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
