Ede Nago Kura Audio Bible Portions (NQKWYI)

Overview

This resource contains audio Bible portions in Ede Nago, Kura (also known simply as Kura and Nago), produced by Wycliffe Benin and distributed through the Faith Comes By Hearing platform [1]. Ede Nago, Kura is one of several Yoruboid languages spoken in Benin and belongs to the broader Edekiri language cluster within the Niger-Congo family [2]. The language has an estimated 54,000 speakers concentrated in Benin, making it a mid-size minority language in the national context [2]. Bible portions in Ede Nago, Kura have been documented, but no complete New Testament or full Bible had been published in this language as of 2024; audio Scripture therefore represents the primary means of Scripture access for this community [2]. Wycliffe Benin, the partner organization of Wycliffe Bible Translators in Benin, has been active in translation and literacy work across multiple Beninese language communities [3].
