Joel 2:12-13
“Even now,' declares the Lord, 'return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.' 13 Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.” (NIV)
“Amkpaa yẹkẹẹ, “Ó-ri ọlẹẹlẹẹ ri, anụ yẹ irya da bwu ọkịlẹtụ nyanụ wuu kanụ wẹ ẹga nyam mẹ. Anụ hụ limyi, kanụ juwa jida bala ọ-bida mẹ.
13 Anụ mẹjẹ jaabwọ ká ọ-họ pyị nyanụ tọnụ olujwo kaka ba. Ānụ mọọ jẹ bwula o-gu ịwụrụ nyanụ ene ka. Anụ tụ́tụ́ kpa ịlọnụ keji kanụ nyà wẹ ẹga nya Amkpaa Ohe Oluhye nyanụ mẹ.” Ọ ri ọngọ họ ọnahị bala ọngọ kaa yẹ ahyẹẹrwẹrwa. Ọ́ọ ju agbama hyaa ka, ọọ la ọháha ụka wuu, ọ kaa hịnyọhi ọngọ yẹ irya da, ọ́ọ yọọ akama kaka.” (Igede)
