Mark 10
1 And having risen from there, he comes into the borders of Judea through the other side of the Jordan. And multitudes come together to him again, and, as he has practiced, he taught them again.
Afei, Yesu firii Galilea twa baa Yudea fam no hɔ wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan agya. Nnipakuo baa ne nkyɛn, na sɛdeɛ ɔtaa yɛ no, ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn.
2 And the Pharisees having approached, they demanded of him if it is permitted for a man to divorce a wife, testing him.
Farisifoɔ bi baa ne nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Wopene awaregyaeɛ so anaa?” Wɔbisaa no yei de sɔɔ no hwɛɛ.
3 And having answered, he said to them, What did Moses command you?
Yesu nso bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na Mose ka faa awaregyaeɛ ho?”
4 And they said, Moses permitted to write a document of divorce, and to divorce her.
Wɔbuaa sɛ, “Mose kaa sɛ ɛyɛ sɛ wɔgyae awadeɛ. Nʼasɛm a ɔkaeɛ ne sɛ, sɛ ɔbarima bi pɛ sɛ ɔgyaa ne yere awadeɛ a, ɔntwerɛ awaregyaeɛ krataa mfa mma ne yere no.”
5 But having answered, Jesus said to them, For your hard heart he wrote for you this commandment.
Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɔkaa saa? Merebɛkyerɛ mo deɛ enti a ɔkaa saa. Esiane mo akoma a apirim no enti na ɔkaa saa kyerɛɛ mo.
6 But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.
Ɛfiri adebɔ ahyɛaseɛ na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔbarima ne ɔbaa.
7 Because of this a man will leave his father and mother behind, and will be bonded with his wife,
Yei enti na ɔbarima bɛgya nʼagya ne ne maame,
8 and the two will be in one flesh. So then they are no more two, but one flesh.
na ɔde ne ho akɔbɔ ne yere ho, na wɔn baanu no ayɛ honam korɔ.
9 What therefore God has joined together, no man shall separate.
Na deɛ Onyankopɔn aka abom no, ɛnsɛ sɛ onipa tete mu.”
10 And in the house the disciples questioned him again about the same thing.
Akyire no a ɔne nʼasuafoɔ no wɔ efie no, asuafoɔ no bisaa no saa asɛm korɔ no ara bio.
11 And he says to them, Whoever may divorce his wife, and will marry another, commits adultery against her.
Ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ obi gyaa ne yere awadeɛ na ɔsane ware obi foforɔ a, na wabɔ adwaman.
12 And if a woman should divorce her husband, and will be married to another, she commits adultery.
Na sɛ ɔyere gyaa ne kunu awadeɛ, na ɔsane ware a, ɔno nso abɔ adwaman saa ara.”
13 And they brought children to him, so that he would touch them. And the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
Ɛda bi, awofoɔ bi de mmɔfra nkumaa brɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔnhyira wɔn, nanso nʼasuafoɔ no pampam wɔn a wɔde mmɔfra no baeɛ no, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔnnha no.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was displeased, and said to them, Allow the children to come to me. Forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.
Yesu hunuu deɛ nʼasuafoɔ no ayɛ no, anyɛ no dɛ na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momma mmɔfra no ɛkwan na wɔmmra me nkyɛn, na monnsi wɔn ɛkwan, na yeinom sei na Onyankopɔn Ahennie no yɛ wɔn dea.
15 Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, he will, no, not enter it.
Mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, obiara a ɔrennye Onyankopɔn Ahennie no sɛ abɔfra no, ɔrentumi nhyɛne mu.”
16 And having embraced them, while laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.
Na ɔyɛɛ wɔn atuu, de ne nsa guu wɔn so, hyiraa wɔn.
17 And as he was going forth on the way, one man having ran to him, and having knelt to him, questioned him, Good teacher, what should I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
Na ɔsiim sɛ ɔrekɔ baabi foforɔ no, ɔbarima bi tutuu mmirika baa ne nkyɛn bɛbuu no nkotodwe, bisaa no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ pa, Ɛdeɛn na menyɛ na manya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ?” (aiōnios g166)
18 And Jesus said to him, Why do thou call me good? None is good except one, God.
Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn na wofrɛ me onipa pa? Obiara nyɛ onipa papa gye ɔbaako; ɔne Onyankopɔn.
19 Thou know the commandments. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not testify falsely. Thou shall not defraud. Thou shall honor thy father and mother.
Ɛfa wʼasɛmmisa no ho nso, wonim mmaransɛm no: Nni awu, mmɔ adwaman, mmɔ korɔno, nni atorɔ, nsisi, di wʼagya ne wo maame ni.”
20 And having answered, he said to him, Teacher, all these things I have observed from my youth.
Aberanteɛ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, yeinom nyinaa mefiri me mmɔfraase na medii so.”
21 And having looked at him, Jesus loved him, and said to him, One thing thou lack. Go thou, sell as many things as thou have, and give to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And after taking up the cross, come, follow me.
Yesu hwɛɛ aberanteɛ yi dinn, nyaa ɔdɔ bi maa no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Aka wo adeɛ baako. Kɔ na kɔtɔn biribiara a wowɔ, na fa sika no ma ahiafoɔ, na wobɛnya agyapadeɛ wɔ ɔsoro, na bra bɛdi mʼakyi.”
22 But having become somber at the saying, he went away sorrowing, for he was a man who has many possessions.
Aberanteɛ no tee saa asɛm yi no, nʼanim sesaeɛ, na ɔde awerɛhoɔ kɔeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔwɔ ahonyadeɛ bebree.
23 And Jesus having looked around, he says to his disciples, How difficultly those who have riches will enter into the kingdom of God.
Ɔrekɔ no, Yesu hwɛɛ no na ɔdanee ne ho ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ den ma osikani sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu!”
24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But again having answered, Jesus says to them, Children, how difficult it is for those who trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God.
Asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no maa asuafoɔ no ho dwirii wɔn. Yesu sane kaa bio sɛ, “Me mma, sɛ moahunu den a ɛyɛ ma wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonyadeɛ sɛ wɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie mu?
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Na ɛyɛ mmerɛ sɛ yoma bɛfa paneɛ aniwa mu sene sɛ osikani bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie mu.”
26 And they were exceedingly astonished, saying among themselves, Then who can be saved?
Asuafoɔ no ho dwiri wɔn mmorosoɔ na wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ na hwan na wɔbɛgye no nkwa?”
27 And having looked at them, Jesus says, With men, impossible, but not with God. For with God all things are possible.
Yesu hwɛɛ wɔn dinn kaa sɛ, “Onipa fam deɛ, yei rentumi mma mu, na Onyankopɔn fam deɛ, biribiara bɛtumi aba mu.”
28 Peter began to say to him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
Afei, Petro hyɛɛ aseɛ kenkanee nneɛma a ɔne asuafoɔ no agya abɛdi Yesu akyi. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛagya biribiara abɛdi wʼakyi.”
29 And having answered, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, there is no man who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, because of me, and because of the good news,
Yesu nso buaa no sɛ, “Merema mo ate aseɛ sɛ, obi nni hɔ a, me enti wagya efie, nuammarimanom, nuammaanom, maame, agya ne mma anaasɛ agyapadeɛ a ɔbɛkɔ akɔka Asɛmpa no,
31 But many first will be last, and the last first.
Na adikanfoɔ pii bɛdi akyire, na akyikafoɔ abɛdi ɛkan.”
32 And they were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid. And again having summoned the twelve, he began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.
Afei, wɔsiim sɛ wɔrekɔ Yerusalem a na Yesu di wɔn ɛkan; na ɛberɛ a asuafoɔ no di nʼakyi no, ehu ne suro kaa wɔn. Yesu twee wɔn gyinaa nkyɛn, na ɔsane kaa nneɛma a, sɛ wɔduru Yerusalem a, ɛbɛba ne so no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
33 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem. And the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scholars. And they will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ yɛduru hɔ a, wɔbɛyi me, Onipa Ba no ama asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, na wɔabu me kumfɔ, na wɔde me ahyɛ Roma aban nsa, na wɔakum me.
34 And they will mock him, and will scourge, and will spit upon him, and will kill him. And the third day he will rise.
Wɔbɛdi me ho fɛw, na wɔatete ntasuo agu me so, na wɔde mpire atwa me mmaa, na wɔakum me, na nnansa so no, masɔre bio.”
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying, Teacher, we wish that thou would do for us whatever we ask.
Afei, Sebedeo mma Yakobo ne Yohane baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, yɛpɛ sɛ woyɛ yɛn adɔeɛ bi.”
36 And he said to them, What do ye want me to do for you?
Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na mopɛ sɛ meyɛ ma mo?”
37 And they said to him, Grant to us that we may sit, one at thy right hand, and one at thy left hand, in thy glory.
Wobuaa sɛ, “Ma yɛn mu baako ntena wo nifa so, na ɔbaako nso ntena wo benkum so wɔ wʼahennie mu hɔ!”
38 But Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye are asking. Are ye able to drink the cup that I drink? And to be immersed the immersion that I am immersed?
Nanso, Yesu maa wɔn mmuaeɛ sɛ, “Monnim deɛ mobisa no! Mobɛtumi anom awerɛhoɔ kuruwa nwononwono a ɛsɛ sɛ menom ano no anaa? Anaasɛ, mobɛtumi ama wɔde amanehunu asubɔ no abɔ mo asu?”
39 And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, Ye will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and the immersion that I am immersed ye will be immersed.
Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛbɛtumi!” Na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mobɛtumi anom me kuruwa ano, na wɔde asubɔ a wɔde bɔ me no abɔ mo;
40 But to sit at my right hand or at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.
nanso menni tumi sɛ meyi wɔn a wɔbɛtena me nifa anaa me benkum so no. Onyankopɔn nko ara na ɔde saa afa no bɛma wɔn a wɔasiesie hɔ ama wɔn no.”
41 And when the ten heard it they began to indignant about James and John.
Asuafoɔ a aka no tee deɛ Yakobo ne Yohane kɔbisaeɛ no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ.
42 And having summoned them, Jesus says to them, Ye know that those who presume to rule over the Gentiles, lord over them, and their great men have power over them.
Enti, Yesu frɛɛ wɔn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monim sɛ ahene ne atumfoɔ a wɔwɔ ewiase no di wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn ase no so,
43 But it is not so among you. Instead, whoever may want to become great among you, will be your helper,
nanso mo deɛ, ɛnte saa wɔ mo ho. Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ kɛse wɔ mo mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ mo ɔsomfoɔ.
44 and whoever of you may want to become first, will be a bondman of all.
Na obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ne nuanom so panin no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ wɔn nyinaa akoa.
45 For the Son of man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Me a meyɛ Onipa Ba no, mamma sɛ wɔnsom me na mmom, mebaeɛ sɛ merebɛboa afoforɔ, na mede me kra ayɛ mpata ama nnipa pii.”
46 And they come to Jericho. And as he went out from Jericho, and his disciples and a considerable crowd, Bartimaeus, the blind son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road begging.
Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no bɛduruu Yeriko. Wɔrefi kuro no mu no, nnipakuo tu dii wɔn akyi. Saa ɛberɛ a Yesu retwa mu no, na onifirani Bartimeo a ne din nkyerɛaseɛ ne “Timoteo ba” no te kwankyɛn resrɛsrɛ adeɛ.
47 And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, Jesus, thou son of David, be merciful to me.
Ɛberɛ a Bartimeo tee sɛ Yesu Nasareni na ɔretwam no, ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ teateaam sɛ, “Dawid Ba Yesu, hunu me mmɔbɔ!”
48 And many rebuked him, that he would be quiet, but he cried out much more, Thou son of David, be merciful to me.
Nnipa no bi teateaa no sɛ, “Mua wʼano!” Nanso ɔkɔɔ so teateaam denden sɛ, “Dawid ba, hunu me mmɔbɔ!”
49 And having stood still, Jesus said for him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Cheer up. Arise, he calls thee.
Ɛberɛ a Yesu tee ne nne no, ɔgyina kaa sɛ, “Momfrɛ no mma me.” Wɔfrɛɛ onifirani no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma wo bo ntɔ wo yam, sɔre na ɔrefrɛ wo!”
50 And he, having thrown off his garment, having risen, came to Jesus.
Bartimeo to ne ntoma guiɛ, sɔre baa Yesu nkyɛn.
51 And having answered, Jesus says to him, What do thou want I would do to thee? And the blind man said to him, Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.
Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wopɛ sɛ meyɛ mema wo?” Onifirani no buaa sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, mepɛ sɛ mehunu adeɛ!”
52 And Jesus said to him, Go thou, thy faith has healed thee. And straightaway he received his sight, and followed him on the way.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ, na wo gyidie agye wo.” Na ntɛm ara onifirani no hunuu adeɛ, na ɔdii Yesu akyi.
