1. 1EKAAbakokatak, a aneb abiafem jo jeere kohlo Jisos, eji bo lꞌjo wuk-e.BSBBSB: Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
2. 2EKABab Farisi, a atꞌtibi ba atahm jo memme re, “Nne noa kpo ko aneb abiafem, fere jo li nsol a bo.”BSBBSB: So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3. 3EKAOwo wahnge Jisos kehm tubu bo elgan re,BSBBSB: Then Jesus told them this parable:
4. 4EKA“Anv, nne ewahne awohng lꞌbel ejoro atahl alon, anyehng lꞌtan, á nehm tahm ejoro behko sa go elka emahng, song seb nyi tane no tete á nyehn-ea?BSBBSB: “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. 5EKAÁ lꞌnyehn-e, á bahk-e rodo, kunu go ebahk, fere jo geere.BSBBSB: And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
6. 6EKA“Á lꞌba rehng etahk, á bahke lungu ate ebe, a aneb nkontahk ebe, fere tong bo re, ‘Tob-m wahn elgeere, tibre me n nyehn njoro enyame nyi tane no.’BSBBSB: comes home, and calls together his friends and neighbors to tell them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep!’
7. 7EKA“N kp-n tongo re, Eyebatahng bahke ga gbal go ejahbetul Esowo, nne abiafem awohng lꞌgbo ndon, sehnge atingitingi ane gbalee ba kil sebe re bo gbo ndon.BSBBSB: 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. 8EKA“Li re nnenkal kpi nsiring ewubu, anyehng kehm ba tan-e, anv, á nehm nyaale etꞌrekahng, fere feenge ekpꞌkpa, jo seb bem bem bem tete á nyehna?BSBBSB: 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. 9EKA“Á lꞌnyehn, á bahke lungu ate ebe, a aneb nkontahk ebe, tong bo re, ‘Ba tob-m wahn elgeere, tibre me n fere nyehn nsiring nyi tan-m no.’BSBBSB: 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. 10EKA“N kp-n tongo re, Ano wo fvfo enjel nyi Esowo kpo bel eyebatahng, nne abiafem awohng lꞌgbo ndon.”BSBBSB: In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who repents.”
11. 11EKAOwo Jisos kehm bungu re, “Nne awohng jolo go, no bele abon ba nlum na abal.BSBBSB: Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.
12. 12EKANkalla kehm tongo nde re, ‘Nsoo, ka-m ejang nsol nyi bahke jolo nyꞌnyame.’ Owo nde noo kehm bake abon ebe na abal nsol enye.BSBBSB: The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
13. 13EKA“Gaam kang, mmonkalla noo kehm kpuku nsol kpee nyi á bele no, tahm go nlaabambang ejahbe. Owo á song li akpohko enye go mbang elwur kpee mal.BSBBSB: 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. 14EKAEji á ma fad akpohko enye kpee mal, owo njal kehm bake go ejahbe jio, jol nyi nse sang. Á kehm sake abo abo.BSBBSB: After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
15. 15EKA“Á kehm tahme, song wu laake nfono ejahbe awohng. Á kehm-e tumu re á song, jo song baabe akuk.BSBBSB: So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed the pigs.
16. 16EKAJol-e koro re, á jo li nsol nyi akuk kpo li. Jol nnene jolem no jo ka-e.BSBBSB: He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
17. 17EKA“Eji á ma fere gbo ntir, owo á kehm bungu re, ‘Ane kpee ba nsoo kpo lak bo eltum, bo kpi nsol alehke gbalee, jol sehnge ana nyi bo kpꞌsebe. Wo, me n jehk ana, kpꞌkpoko njal.BSBBSB: 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. 18EKAM bahke tahme, song kpiri nsoo, fere tong-e re, Nsoo, me n lim abiafem bade Esowo, fere tob lim bada na.BSBBSB: I will get up and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
19. 19EKAMe n kpeem fuumu re bo jo lung-m re mmon ewa. Tob lak-m, me n tob jol nlimeltum ewa.’BSBBSB: I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
20. 20EKA“Owo á kehm mehle, feere goji nde. Jol á gaam kabbe go etahk nde, nde kehm-e nyehne. Ndon kehm-e fili, á kehm beke, song bing-e, fere sod-e nnyo.BSBBSB: 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. 21EKA“Owo mmon noo kehm-e tongo re, ‘Nsoo, me n lim abiafem bade Esowo, fere lim bada na. N kpeem fuumu re bo jo lung-m re mmon ewa.’BSBBSB: The son declared, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22. 22EKA“Nde kehm lungu alokeltum ebe, kehm tongo bo re, ‘Song koon ekpawobo ji nno a nno ba a ji, wahn ba kak-e. Tob kaken ye ebil go ebo, wahn fere kak-e akpaketa go akpade.BSBBSB: 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. 23EKASong koon mmon a nfong no sahb jꞌjok, wahn ba wul, wahr limen elkak, fere bel eyebatahng.BSBBSB: Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
24. 24EKATibre mmon ewame noa kpꞌkpo, wo anv, yebfere jol go elkpin. Á tꞌtan. Anv a, m m-e nyehn.’ “Owo bo kehm soro bom elkak nio go ellimi.BSBBSB: For this son of mine was dead and is alive again! He was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.
25. 25EKA“Ngbokambang a mmon jolo go egbe. Eji á jo kehnge abake, ba kabbe go nkpe etahk, á kehm wuku ase nya bo jo kub, fere jo bahn.BSBBSB: Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26. 26EKAÁ kehm lungu nlokeltum awohng, kehm-e bahbe re, ‘Ase nyao lohngo rejen?’BSBBSB: So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
27. 27EKA“Owo á kehm-e faange re, ‘Mmonanne wo ma feere kehnge. Nso ma wul mmon a nfong no joko jok. Tibre yebfere bel mmon ewe nob nob. Ejumjum we limem.’BSBBSB: ‘Your brother has returned,’ he said, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has him back safe and sound.’
28. 28EKA“Eji á ma wuk ano, atahng kehm-e rake. Á kehm tene elyele go ekpꞌkpa. “Owo nde kehm lohngo ba gboong-e.BSBBSB: The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
29. 29EKA“Á kehm faange nde re, ‘Nnya tvv nyi m ma-a loko. Ngare anyehng anyehng n kpo lim ajehng ajehng ji a tong-m no. Jol me, a ka kꞌka mbul re me n ko lim elkak ka ate ebame.BSBBSB: 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. 30EKAWo anv, eji mmon ewa noa ma ba, no ma rannge akpohko enya eji á jo noongo abajenasꞌsa, ye wo, a ma wul mmon a nfong no joko jok ka-e.’BSBBSB: But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31. 31EKA“Owo nde kehm-e faange re, ‘Mmon ewame, wo li a name ngare anyehng anyehng. Nsol kpee nyi li nyꞌnyame, tob li nyꞌnya fvfo.BSBBSB: ‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
32. 32EKAFꞌfuumu re wahr lim elkak, fere bel eyebatahng. Tibre mmonanne noa kpꞌkpo, anv, yebfere jol go elkpin. Á tꞌtan, anv a, m m-e nyehn.’ ”BSBBSB: 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.’”
