KHJ
Ʊpyu ʊnʊng arʊ yirha ogon kǝni arʊya napany kaba tuno ekǝkǝri Iyesu ngɛ awa kuwɔ.
BSB
BSB:
Now all the tax collectors and sinners were gathering around to listen to Jesus.
2
KHJ
Yip Afarisiya kǝni avʊwa ʊmɛr ogro Imusa kasu tana ʊring atata asani, “Orokru wen ku yirha arʊya asu ra ʊmʊra kǝni omoo.”
BSB
BSB:
So the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble: “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3
KHJ
Ikpara dang Iyesu ka tana mo ushosho wen asani:
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told them this parable:
4
KHJ
“Asani araruny ni Atam ʊkʊma ngɛ eying bi idɔɔmo ko vroyo. Anasu shere ngɛ ʊparha ɛshɛ isi echetarhi ni echetarhi bo rumo akyaa upyerhe Atam sini ovruyo kekya akywa sini anʊ penyo?
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
KHJ
Aba penyo, anʊ saayo baya ʊvʊ asu mɛ
BSB
BSB:
And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,
6
KHJ
waa sini aba ba ʊduna, anu tuno orokyoro ngɛ kǝni arʊ iyoyow ne ngɛ katanamo ni, ‘Inyi shem ngɛ ume; kii ipen Atam mi sini ovruyo.’
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
KHJ
Iku tanany ushooyo wurha anu pri nʊ ʊmɛ kya ayaya arʊya eying beshere ʊyaa ngɛ ni ari ise echetarhi ni echetarhi arʊ sini akpari asani imo nashisha, ana waamɔ shere ʊya ngɛ.
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
KHJ
“Ko asani erere ni ikiri ʊfɛ atarhi ngɛ uying ko vrowo ngɛ. Anasu taa uyen, ɛyɛrhɛ ɛkǝri ʊna epyerhe noshong kekya akywa sini anu rowo?
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
KHJ
Akywa sini obo rowo, anu yirha orokyoroo kǝni ari iyoyow ne ngɛ kasa ni ɔmɔ ni, ‘Inyi shem ngɛ ume; Kii irong ikiri ʊfɛm sini ivriwo.’
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
KHJ
Iku tanany, ushooyo wurha, ima ofofuru yoo eberi atina Ʊnʊng kya ayaya baya arʊya eying sini eshere ʊya ngɛ.”
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
KHJ
Iyesu ko suno ngɛ ni ʊtanamɔ asani, “Opyo orokru sini ani ɔnɔ apari ngɛ nuwo.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus said,
“There was a man who had two sons.
12
KHJ
Araji kasani ekperi ngɛ ni, ‘Ɛkpɛri, mam imisini ini imye bi idɔɔ ʊmanw.’ Kǝnawo aka kaa mo ʊmaa.
BSB
BSB:
The younger son said to him, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
13
KHJ
“Bidɔɔ anawri naji, arajaji ko tuno ʊʊma kukum, eshere ʊna ngɛ akyaa opyo apya ki ikǝkarha bi ʊpʊrha wɔ asarhi ʊmaa ngɛ no kukum bi ʊkiki sini ʊsawɔ ʊdʊma.
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
KHJ
Sini ekyweri ʊsarha ʊmaa ngɛ kukum, ihywʊng ka kpaa nagang be ɛkǝri ibʊng sini ɔnuo kukum. Ikpara dang ihywung ka raa nagang bi sini asaa ni imʊra ngɛ.
BSB
BSB:
After he had spent all he had, a severe famine swept through that country, and he began to be in need.
15
KHJ
Ʊwɔwɔ aka kya aya waa ʊtina owro opyo ɔnɔ apya, ɛkǝri ɔnɔ apya ka tʊma ngɛ kya ɔvro aya su upiri ngɛ ugrii.
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
KHJ
Akawa asani ingɛɛ na ara ʊmʊra ugrii oshuro, ekɛne pen ngɛ arʊ maa iririma.
BSB
BSB:
He longed to fill his belly with the pods the pigs were eating, but no one would give him a thing.
17
KHJ
“Nisini ojuri baa bidɔɔ ʊkaa, aka sani, ‘Agara arʊ ʊsa ʊtina ɛkpɛrim gbrii ni ʊmʊra ʊra aparha ɛshɛ, imye we bi upen ihywung we pɛrɛm!
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
KHJ
Ini shinɛ kya eberi ɛkpɛrim asani ngɛ ni: Ɛkpɛri, Iya Ʊnʊng ngɛ
ara yaya
akyu ʊyanw.
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
KHJ
Nɛchiyɛn ise mam ayirham ni ɔnɔnw; kparam kǝni ere ying bidɔɔ agara ʊtinanw ni.’
BSB
BSB:
I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’
20
KHJ
Ikpara dang ekǝ shinɛ ko juro kya owro ɛkpɛri ngɛ. “Yip sini eshi kikǝkarha ekperie ko roo akung okwo ngɛ; oko gyo atara aya kǝkǝn ngɛ asu upyoo igɔn.
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
KHJ
“Ɛkǝri ɔnɔɔ kasani ɛngɛɛ ni, ‘Ɛkpɛri, Iya Ʊnʊng ngɛ
ara ayaya
akyu ʊyanw. Nɛchiyɛn ise mam ujo yirham ni ɔnɔnw.’
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
KHJ
“Yip ɛkpɛri ngɛ ka sani agara ngɛ ni, ‘Inyi sa nagbrugbram! Okom igbɛ irirɛ ba igyigyang ɔsɔmɔ ngɛ. Inyi sɔmɔ ngɛ imaa ba ani ivʊ ɔsɔmɔ ngɛ ataka bi ifraa.
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
KHJ
Inyi yokong ɔnɔ inaa sini amumurhi ba arʊ waa. Aki arʊ sa ipara ara ʊʊma.
BSB
BSB:
Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let us feast and celebrate.
24
KHJ
Kii ɔnɔm wen kpoo bakywaa nɛchiyɛn ujo su fer; ovrie bakywa nɛchiyɛn epen ngɛ.’ Kǝnawo oko sunomo ngɛ ni ipara.
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
KHJ
“Nisini akʊ sirha kǝna ɔnɔ ɔkɔkɔng ngɛ ni kya orumo. Akywa sini oto iyoyow ni ʊna, aka kung ʊkra ʊʊma kǝni aya.
BSB
BSB:
Meanwhile the older son was in the field, and as he approached the house, he heard music and dancing.
26
KHJ
Ʊwɔwɔ aka yirha opyo agara ogyurho ngɛ asani, ‘Ikimɔyɔ iku kyeng ben?’
BSB
BSB:
So he called one of the servants and asked what was going on.
27
KHJ
Ɛkǝri agara ka sani ɛngɛɛ ni, ‘Arupyanw ngɛ ojuro ba ʊna, ekperinw kawa ɔnɔ inaa erere kii ɔsɔɔ akrʊ.’
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
KHJ
“Ɔrɔ ɔkɔkɔng ka kung anang ngɛ nagang atira ngɛ ʊraa ʊna. Ɛkpɛri ngɛ ko kuno ba asu sɔrhɔ ngɛ.
BSB
BSB:
The older son became angry and refused to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.
29
KHJ
Yip oko yoro ɛkpɛri ngɛ a sani,‘Rong! Kukum ɛnyɛɛ men iku sanw ʊtina ko ni ying ise mʊmarham ʊtɛɛ ogronw. Ikimoyo ʊmim? Ko ni iying use marhanw ʊmam ananama aki iwa ara asa ipara kǝni orokyorom.
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
KHJ
Ʊwɔɔ ni sini ɔnɔnw wen, arʊ sini asarhanw ʊʊma ngɛ bi owro erere ukǝkǝe, ɔsɔi, ʊkawaa ɔnɔ inaa ɛrɛrɛ!’
BSB
BSB:
But when this son of yours returns from squandering your wealth with prostitutes, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31
KHJ
“ ‘Ɔnɔm’, Ekperi ngɛ ka sani, ‘ko ikini ikpara ʊni kǝni ɛmyɛɛ, kukum imisini iniyɔɔ inwɔyo.
BSB
BSB:
‘Son, you are always with me,’ the father said, ‘and all that is mine is yours.
32
KHJ
Yip ini idima oshoo igyang arʊ si ipara asu mɛ, kii arupyanw kpoo bakywaa, nɛchiyɛn ani akrʊ; ovrie, yip nɛchiyɛn epen ngɛ.’ ”
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.’”
