abt: Yaasnyéndéka déku yéwaa akwi késndéka yaréndéka kukmba wani gaayémba néma kaandé yan. Yandéka dé kakémuké yapatindén.


eng: Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living.

eng: The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of your property.’ So he divided his livelihood between them.

abt: Kukmba kéraandén nyaan bérku aapat anga wandén, ‘Méno, sérémaa kiyaaménu aané ména musé asé kéraakatékwa. Kéraamuké wa ménat wawutékwa.

eng: He said, “A certain man had two sons.

abt: Watake Jisas gwaaménja kundi nak anga wandén: “Du nak nyaan vétik kureréndén.


eng: Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”

abt: Wunga watake Jisas det anga wandén, “Gunat wawutékwa. Wunga yalén pulak Gotna kundi kure gaayakwa dunyan mawulé yakandakwa. Kapéremusé yakwa du wani yandén kapéremusé yaasékandu, de Gotna kundi kure gaayakwa dunyansé mawulé tawulé wa yakandakwa.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the drachma which I had lost!’

abt: Ve kéraae wani gaayémba yarékwa du dakwat waalu yaae jaawukandakwa. Jaawundaru det wakalékwa, ‘Guné wunale ma mawulé tawulé ya, wuna yéwaa nak lambiyakndéka waake ve nakapuk kéraawuténngé.’ Wunga det wakalékwa.”


eng: “Or what woman, if she had ten drachma coins, if she lost one drachma coin, wouldn’t light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it?

abt: Wani kundi watake Jisas det gwaaménja kundi nak waak anga wandén, “Kalmu guna taakwa nak anga yaké lé? Lé yéwaa tambavétik (10) kure yarélu nak lambiyakndu lé téwaayénngéra yavéréke taake gaa yaakwe taapiye waake waake wani yéwaa vékalékwa.


eng: I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.

abt: Wunga watake Jisas anga wandén, “Gunat wawutékwa. Wunga yandén pulak Gotna kundi kure gaayakwa du mawulé yakandakwa.

eng: When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

abt: Vétake kéraae déku taanmba taake yaate mawulé tawulé yalakét yéndén.


eng: “Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep and lost one of them, wouldn’t leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that was lost, until he found it?

abt: “Kalmu guna du nak anga yaké dé? Du nak sipsip dumi taambak (100) kureréndén. Kureréndéka nak lambiyakén. Yandéka ras sipsip yéku taalémba taakandéka téte katéndaka det yaasékatake ye wani lambiyakén nakurak sipsipké waakndén. Waake waake véndén.


eng: He told them this parable:

abt: Wunga wandaka det ani gwaaménja kundi wandén:


eng: The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”

abt: Yéndaka Farisi dunyan apakundiké vékusékngwa dunyan waak wani muséké kalik yate anga wandarén, “Wani du dé kapéremusé yakwa du dakwale yatéte dele kakému kandékwa.” Naandarén.


eng: It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

abt: Yandu kakémumba katik yaasnyéké daré. Résék yakapuk yakwa sol wan yéku musé yamba yé wa. Képmaamba yaasnyémunaandaru kakému kurkale katik waaréké dé. De wani sol baka vaanjati-kandakwa. Guné baka vaanjatindara sol pulak ramuké kalik ye, wani kundiké vékusékngé mawulé ye kurkasale waan taake ma kurkale vékungunék.” Naandén Jisas det.


eng: So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.

abt: Wunga watake Jisas det anga wandén, “Wani du yan pulak guné ma yangunék. Guné wuna jémbaa yate wuna du dakwa raké mawulé ye taale ma kurkale vékulaka. Guné guna musé asé kuk kwayétake wani muséké nakapuk katik mawulé yaké guné.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.

abt: Wunga vékulake wakandékwa, ‘Nané dele waariyaké yapati-kanangwa.’ Wunga we kurkale vékulake dé du rasét wandu de ye wani yaaké yakwa néma duwale kundi bulkandakwa, de kundi bule giye ye waariyakapuk yamuké. Wani néma du ani sékaa taalémba téndu dé du rasét wandu deké yaae kundi bulkandakwa, de kundi bule giye ye waariyakapuk yamuké.” Naandén.


eng: Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

abt: “Ani kundi waak ma véku. Néma du nak vékundén. Nak néma du déku waariyakwa dunyansale yaandarén, dele waariyaké. Vékutake dele waariyaké yate taale kamu musé yaké dé? Taale rate dé anga wakandékwa, ‘Wuna waariyakwa du ayélapkéri wa. Déku waariyakwa du némaamba wa. Yénga pulak ye det viyaaké nané? De kalmu nanat viyaaké daré?’

abt: Waangite anga wakandakwa, ‘Wani gaa baasnyé ye kutténdéka yéwaa késndéka kutsékéyakngé yapatindén.’ Naakandakwa.


eng: Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

abt: Taale wunga kurkasale vékulakakapuk ye kwaat taawundu yéwaa késndu gaa baka kutsékéyakngapuk téndu akwi dunyan véte wasélékte waangikandakwa wani duwat.


eng: For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

abt: “Wuna jémbaa yaké yate taale ma kurkale vékulaka. Ani kundi ma véku. Guna du nak néma sémény gaa nak kurké mawulé ye taale dé rate kurkale vékulaka-kandékwa, wani gaana yéwaaké. Kalmu wani gaa késké dé, kure randékwa akwi yéwaamba, kapuk?

eng: “If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.

abt: Némaamba du dakwa Jisasale yéténdaka waalakwe det anga wandén, “Guné wuna jémbaa yate wuna du dakwa raké mawulé ye guné wunéké néma mawulé ma yangunék.

eng: “The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

eng: They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’

abt: “Dé ye det wandéka de akwi yéké kalik yandarén. Ye du nak wa wan dat, ‘Wuné képmaa tambék kéraawutén wa. Kéraatake bulaa wanngé véké yékawutékwa. Wuné wunga katik yaaké wuté.’


eng: He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’

abt: Yatake kakému kandara sapak yaandéka déku jémbaa yakwa duwat wandén, talimba waandén dunyanséké ye ani kundi wandénngé, ‘Musé asé akwi kéraae waawattakananga tékwa. Guné ma yaa.’


eng: But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.

abt: Wunga wandéka Jisas wa wan, “Du nak néma paat yaakékwate we yandén. Ye késépéri duwat waandén, de yaae wani kaawungwiya kandarénngé.


eng: When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”

abt: Dele rate kakému karan du nak wani kundi vékutake Jisasét anga wandén, “Gotna gaayémba rate kakému kaké yakwa dunyan de yénga mawulé tawulé yandaru.”


eng: and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”

abt: Wani dunyan de ménat kakému kwayékataké yapati-kandakwa. Méné det wunga yaménéngwanngé sérémaa Got ménat yékun yakandékwa. Got wandu yéku musé yatake kiyaan du dakwa nakapuk taamale waarapngé yandakwa sapak dé ménat yékun yandu méné yékunmba rakaménéngwa.” Naandén Jisas.


eng: But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

abt: Méné wunga yaké yambakate. Méné kakému yaake kaké yate wani musé asé kurerékapuk du, sépémaalé kapére yan du, maan taamba kapére yan du, méni kiyaan duwat ma waa, de yaandarénngé.


eng: He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

abt: Wani kundi watake dale kakému kandénngé wani waan duwat anga wandén, “Méné kakému yaake kaké yate ména du dakwa, ména aanyémbéré, ména waayékanjet, ména du kémét, ména gaayémba rakwa yéwandu baléndut waaké yambak, de yaandarénngé. Méné wunga dunyansat waaménu de sérémaa yaakéte ménat waandaru yéménu wani waambu kwayékata-kandakwa.


eng: But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

abt: Guné dele kakému kaké ye kurkale vékulaka naae ma du dakwana kuksékéyakmba rangunu. Wunga yangunu gunat wani waan du yaae gunat anga wakandékwa, ‘Wuna du, guné ma yaae néma duna taalémba ra.’ Wunga wandu guné ye néma duna taalémba rangunu wani gaamba yarékéskwa dunyan de guna yé kusorékandakwa.


eng: and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.

abt: Vétake ani gwaaménja kundi det wandén, “Du nak taakwa kéraate kakému yaake kaké yate gunat waandu guné ye kurkale ma vékulakangunék. Vékulakate néma duna taalémba raké yambakate.

abt: Jisas véndén, wani kakému kaké yaan dunyan yaate néma duna taalémba male raké mawulé yandaka.


eng: They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.

abt: Wunga wandéka déku kundi waambule kaataké yapatindarén.

abt: Wunga waatakundéka de yakélak yakélak tékésén. Yandaka Jisas wani duwat kururétake wandéka dé yén.


eng: Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

eng: “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!

abt: Wunga watake wandén, “Guné Jerusalemmba tékwa du dakwa, guné Gotna yémba kundi kwayétan dunyansat viyaandékngunén. Got wandéka déku kundi kure yén dunyan gunéké wa yéndarén.

abt: “Wunga wandu anga wakangunéngwa, ‘Nané ménale kulak kakému wa karénanén. Méné nana gaayéna yaambumba téte nanat kundi yakwasnyéménén.’


eng: When once the master of the house has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

abt: Wani gaayéna néma du waarape wani pété tépékandékwa. Tépéndu guné yaae kaapamba téte pétémba viyaate anga wakangunéngwa, ‘Néman Du, pété ma naapitaka nanéké.’ Wunga wangunu gunat anga wakandékwa, ‘Wuné yamba ve wa guné. Yani gaayé guné?’ Naakandékwa.
