Luka 15
1 Ɛda bi ɔtogyefoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ pii baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛtiee no,
And pupplicans and synful men weren neiyynge to him, to here hym.
2 Farisifoɔ ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no hunuu yei no, wɔnwiinwii kaa sɛ, “Saa ɔbarima yi gye nnebɔneyɛfoɔ sane ne wɔn to nsa didi.”
And the Farisees and scribis grutchiden, seiynge, For this resseyueth synful men, and etith with hem.
3 Saa asɛm a wɔkaeɛ no ma ɔbuu wɔn bɛ bi sɛ,
And he spak to hem this parable,
4 “Mo mu hwan na sɛ ɔwɔ nnwan ɔha na wɔn mu baako yera a, ɔrennya aduɔkron nkron no hɔ nkɔkyinkyini ɛserɛ so nhwehwɛ deɛ wayera no kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛhunu no?
and seide, What man of you that hath an hundrith scheep, and if he hath lost oon of hem, whethir he leeueth not nynti and nyne in desert, and goith to it that perischide, til he fynde it?
5 Na sɛ ɔhunu no a, ɔde no abɔ ne kɔn ho, de anigyeɛ de no aba.
And whanne he hath foundun it, he ioieth, and leyith it on hise schuldris; and he cometh hoom,
6 Na sɛ ɔduru efie a, wafrɛfrɛ ne nnamfo ne nʼafipamfoɔ nyinaa aka akyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Momma yɛnnye yɛn ani, ɛfiri sɛ, mahunu me odwan a ɔyeraeɛ no.’
and clepith togidir hise freendis and neiyboris, and seith to hem, Be ye glad with me, for Y haue founde my scheep, that hadde perischid.
7 Saa ara nso na sɛ ɔdebɔneyɛfoɔ baako nu ne ho a, ɔsorofoɔ nyinaa ani gye sene sɛ ateneneefoɔ aduɔkron nkron wɔ hɔ a ahonu ho nhia wɔn no.
And Y seie to you, so ioye schal be in heuene on o synful man doynge penaunce, more than on nynti and nyne iuste, that han no nede to penaunce.
8 “Anaasɛ ɔbaa bɛn na sɛ ne sika mpɔ edu mu baako yera a, ɔrensɔ kanea, mprapra ne dan mu, nhwehwɛ kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛhunu.
Or what womman hauynge ten besauntis, and if sche hath lost oo besaunt, whether sche teendith not a lanterne, and turneth vpsodoun the hows, and sekith diligentli, til that sche fynde it?
9 Na sɛ ɔhunu a, ɔremfrɛfrɛ ne nnamfo ne nʼafipamfoɔ nyinaa nka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Momma yɛn ani nnye, ɛfiri sɛ, mahunu me sika mpɔ a ɛyeraeɛ no’
And whanne sche hath foundun, sche clepith togidir freendis and neiyboris, and seith, Be ye glad with me, for Y haue founde the besaunt, that Y hadde lost.
10 Saa ara nso na sɛ ɔdebɔneyɛfoɔ baako nu ne ho a, Onyankopɔn abɔfoɔ ani gye ara ne no.”
So Y seie to you, ioye schal be bifor aungels of God on o synful man doynge penaunce.
11 Yesu sane buu wɔn ɔyera ho ɛbɛ bi sɛ, “Ɔbarima bi wɔ hɔ a na ɔwɔ mmammarima baanu.
And he seide, A man hadde twei sones;
12 Wɔn mu akumaa no ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya no sɛ, ‘Me agya, fa me kyɛfa a mewɔ wɔ wʼagyapadeɛ mu no ma me!’ Ɔbarima no kyɛɛ nʼagyapadeɛ mu de ne ba no kyɛfa maa no.
and the yonger of hem seide to the fadir, Fadir, yyue me the porcioun of catel, that fallith to me. And he departide to hem the catel.
13 “Nna tiawa bi akyi no, ne ba kumaa yi boaboaa nʼahodeɛ nyinaa ano tuu ɛkwan kɔɔ akyirikyiri asase bi so kɔbɔɔ ahohwi bra, hweree nʼahodeɛ nyinaa.
And not aftir many daies, whanne alle thingis weren gederid togider, the yonger sone wente forth in pilgrymage in to a fer cuntre; and there he wastide hise goodis in lyuynge lecherously.
14 Ɛno akyi no, ɛkɔm kɛseɛ bi baa asase no so maa ne ho kyeree no.
And aftir that he hadde endid alle thingis, a strong hungre was maad in that cuntre, and he bigan to haue nede.
15 Ɛbaa saa no, ɔde ne ho kɔdanee kuromani bi a ɔma ɔkɔhwɛɛ ne mprako so.
And he wente, and drouy hym to oon of the citeseyns of that cuntre. And he sente hym in to his toun, to fede swyn.
16 Ɔwɔ hɔ no, ɛkɔm dee no maa ne kɔn dɔɔ sɛ anka ɔbɛnya aduane a mprako no di no bi mpo adi, nanso, wannya.
And he coueitide to fille his wombe of the coddis that the hoggis eeten, and no man yaf hym.
17 “Nʼani baa ne ho so no, ɔkaa sɛ, ‘Apaafoɔ a wɔwɔ mʼagya efie didi mee, ma ebi ka ma wɔto gu. Adɛn na mete ha na ɛkɔm rekum me yi!
And he turnede ayen to hym silf, and seide, Hou many hirid men in my fadir hous han plente of looues; and Y perische here thorouy hungir.
18 Mɛsɔre akɔ mʼagya nkyɛn na maka makyerɛ no sɛ, Agya, mayɛ ɔsoro ne wo bɔne,
Y schal rise vp, and go to my fadir, and Y schal seie to hym, Fadir, Y haue synned in to heuene, and bifor thee;
19 na memfata sɛ wɔfrɛ me wo ba bio; fa me yɛ wʼapaafoɔ no mu baako.’
and now Y am not worthi to be clepid thi sone, make me as oon of thin hirid men.
20 Ɔsiim sɛ ɔresane aba nʼagya nkyɛn. “Ɔnam ɛkwan so akyirikyiri reba no, nʼagya no hunuu no, enti ɔde ayamhyehyeɛ yɛɛ ntɛm kɔhyiaa no, bam no, yɛɛ no atuu.
And he roos vp, and cam to his fadir. And whanne he was yit afer, his fadir saiy hym, and was stirrid bi mercy. And he ran, and fel on his necke, and kisside hym.
21 “Aberanteɛ yi ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya no sɛ, ‘Agya, mayɛ ɔsoro ne wo bɔne, na memfata sɛ wofrɛ me wo ba bio.’
And the sone seide to hym, Fadir, Y haue synned in to heuene, and bifor thee; and now Y am not worthi to be clepid thi sone.
22 “Nʼano ansi koraa na nʼagya no frɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Monka mo ho nkɔfa ntoma pa mmɛfira no na monhyɛ no pɛtea ne mpaboa a ɛyɛ fɛ.
And the fadir seide to hise seruauntis, Swithe brynge ye forth the firste stoole, and clothe ye hym, and yyue ye a ryng in his hoond,
23 Afei, monkɔkum nantwie ba a wadɔre sradeɛ no mfa nyɛ aduane, na yɛnnidi, nnom, nnye yɛn ani,
and schoon on hise feet; and brynge ye a fat calf, and sle ye, and ete we, and make we feeste.
24 ɛfiri sɛ, na mesusu sɛ meba yi awu, sɛ nso na ɔte ase; ɔyeraeɛ, nanso wasane aba.’ Wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ gyee wɔn ani.
For this my sone was deed, and hath lyued ayen; he perischid, and is foundun. And alle men bigunnen to ete.
25 “Ne ba panin a na ɔfiri afuom reba no duruu afikyire no, ɔtee nnwontoɔ ne ahurisidie wɔ efie hɔ.
But his eldere sone was in the feeld; and whanne he cam, and neiyede to the hous, he herde a symfonye and a croude.
26 Ɛno enti ɔfrɛɛ asomfoɔ no mu baako bisaa no deɛ ɛrekɔ so wɔ efie hɔ.
And he clepide oon of the seruauntis, and axide, what these thingis weren.
27 Ɔsomfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Wo nua no asane aba a biribiara anyɛ no enti, wʼagya akum nantwie ba a wadɔre sradeɛ no ama no.’
And he seide to hym, Thi brother is comun, and thi fadir slewe a fat calf, for he resseyuede hym saaf.
28 “Ɔtee saa asɛm yi no, ne bo fuiɛ enti ɔyɛɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrenkɔ efie hɔ. Nʼagya tee saa asɛm yi no, ɔfirii adi baa ne nkyɛn bɛkorɔkorɔɔ no.
And he was wrooth, and wolde not come in. Therfor his fadir wente out, and bigan to preye hym.
29 Ne ba no de awerɛhoɔ buaa no sɛ, ‘Agya, masom wo mfeɛ dodoɔ yi nyinaa a deɛ wobɛka biara metie, nanso wommaa me odwan ba mpo da sɛ menkum na me ne me nnamfonom mfa nnye yɛn ani.
And he answerde to his fadir, and seide, Lo! so many yeeris Y serue thee, and Y neuer brak thi comaundement; and thou neuer yaf to me a kidde, that Y with my freendis schulde haue ete.
30 Nanso, wo ba a ɔkɔbɔɔ ahohwie no baeɛ yi deɛ, woakum nantwie ba a wadɔre sradeɛ no ama no.’
But aftir that this thi sone, that hath deuourid his substaunce with horis, cam, thou hast slayn to hym a fat calf.
31 “Nʼagya buaa no sɛ, ‘Me ba, me ne wo na ɛte ha. Biribiara a mewɔ nso yɛ wo dea.
And he seide to hym, Sone, thou art euer more with me, and alle my thingis ben thine.
32 Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛgye yɛn ani, ɛfiri sɛ, na mesusu sɛ wo nua yi awu, sɛ nso na ɔte ase; ɔyeraeɛ, nanso wasane aba.’”
But it bihofte for to make feeste, and to haue ioye; for this thi brother was deed, and lyuede ayen; he perischide, and is foundun.
