Matthew 9
1 And after entering into the boat, he passed over, and came into his own city.
Yei akyi no, Yesu kɔtenaa kodoɔ bi mu kɔɔ Kapernaum, kuro a ɔte mu.
2 And behold, they brought to him a paralyzed man who was placed on a bed. And having seen their faith Jesus said to the paralyzed man, Cheer up, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.
Ɔduruu hɔ no, ankyɛre biara na nnipa bi de obubuafoɔ bi brɛɛ no sɛ ɔnsa no yadeɛ. Na Yesu hunuu gyidie a wɔwɔ wɔ ne mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafoɔ no sɛ, “Ɔba, ma wʼani nnye, wɔde wo bɔne nyinaa akyɛ wo.”
3 And behold, some of the scholars said within themselves, This man blasphemes.
Ɛhɔ ara na Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ a na wɔwɔ hɔ no bi teaam sɛ, “Ɔbarima yi ka abususɛm. Ɔkyerɛ sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn!”
4 And having known their thoughts Jesus said, Why think ye evil in your hearts?
Yesu hunuu deɛ ɛwɔ wɔn adwenem no, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na modwene bɔne ho saa?
5 For which is easier, to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee, or to say, Arise and walk?
Me Onipa Ba no, mewɔ tumi wɔ asase yi so sɛ metumi de bɔne kyɛ. Deɛ ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ den, sɛ obi bɛka sɛ, ‘Mede wo bɔne akyɛ wo’ anaasɛ ɔbɛka sɛ, ‘Sɔre na nante?’”
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins (then he says to the paralyzed man), After rising, take up thy bed, and go to thy house.
Nanso, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ na mobɛhunu sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ enti, ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafoɔ no sɛ, “Sɔre na bobɔ wo kɛtɛ, na kɔ efie ɛfiri sɛ, masa wo yadeɛ.”
7 And after rising, he departed to his house.
Amonom hɔ ara, obubuafoɔ no sɔre bobɔɔ ne kɛtɛ, siim kɔɔ ne fie!
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled, and glorified God, who gave such authority to men.
Nnipadɔm no hunuu anwanwadeɛ yi no, wɔn ho dwirii wɔn yie. Wɔkamfoo Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔde tumi a ɛte saa ama onipa!
9 And passing forth from there, Jesus saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And he says to him, Follow me. And after rising, he followed him.
Yesu firi deɛ ɔsaa obubuafoɔ no yadeɛ hɔ rekɔ no, ɔhunuu ɔbarima ɔtogyeni bi a ɔte atogyeeɛ. Wɔfrɛ saa ɔbarima no Mateo. Yesu hunuu no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Bɛdi mʼakyi.” Ɛhɔ ara, Mateo sɔre dii Yesu akyi.
10 And it came to pass while he relaxed in the house, and behold, many tax collectors and sinners having come, they were sitting with Jesus and his disciples.
Ɛbaa sɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no kɔɔ Mateo fie kɔdidiiɛ. Wɔredidi no, ɔtogyefoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ bebree baa hɔ ne no ne nʼasuafoɔ no too nsa didiiɛ.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your teacher eat with the tax collectors and sinners?
Farisifoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɔne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ato nsa redidi no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ. Wɔbisaa nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na mo ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no de ne ho abɔ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ a wɔte sɛɛ yi?”
12 But Jesus having heard it, he said to them, Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those who fare badly.
Yesu teeɛ no, ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Nnipa a wɔnyare no, ɔyaresafoɔ ho nhia wɔn, na nnipa a wɔyare no na ɔyaresafoɔ ho hia wɔn.”
13 But after going, learn what this means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners for repentance.
Ɔsane kaa bio sɛ, “Monkɔhwehwɛ yei ase wɔ Atwerɛ Kronkron no mu. Wɔatwerɛ sɛ, ‘Ɛnyɛ mo afɔdeɛ ne ayɛyɛdeɛ na mepɛ, na mmom, ahummɔborɔ.’ Mammɛfrɛ teneneefoɔ, na mmom, mebɛfrɛɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnsakra mmra Onyankopɔn nkyɛn.”
14 Then the disciples of John come to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, but thy disciples fast not?
Ɛda bi, Yohane Osubɔni asuafoɔ baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wʼasuafoɔ no nni mmuada, sɛdeɛ yɛne Farisifoɔ di mmuada no?”
15 And Jesus said to them, The sons of the wedding hall cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them. But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mogye di sɛ, sɛ ayeforɔkunu ne ne nnamfonom te hɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ne nnamfonom no werɛ ho, na wɔbua da anaa? Ɛberɛ bi bɛba a wɔbɛfa me afiri wɔn nkyɛn. Saa ɛberɛ no na wɔbɛdi mmuada.
16 And no man puts a patch of new cloth upon an old garment, for the patch of it pulls from the garment, and a tear becomes worse.
“Hwan na ɔde ntoma foforɔ bɛtare ntoma dada mu? Saa ntaremu no bɛsuane dada no mu ama tokuro kɛseɛ abɛda hɔ.
17 Neither do they put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the wineskins will perish. But they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.
Hwan na ɔde nsã foforɔ bɛgu aboa nwoma nsã nkotokuo dada mu? Sɛ ɔyɛ saa a, nsã no bɛpae nkotokuo no ama nsã no ahwie agu, na nkotokuo no nso asɛe. Nsa nkotokuo foforɔ mu nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsã foforɔ gugu na amma nkotokuo no ne nsã no mu biara ansɛe.”
18 While he spoke these things to them, behold, one ruler who came worshiped him, saying, My daughter has just now perished, but after coming, lay thy hand upon her, and she will live.
Yesu gu so rekasa no, Yudafoɔ panin bi ba bɛkoto, sɔree no. Ɔde nʼadesrɛdeɛ too Yesu anim sɛ, “Me babaa awu seesei ara. Menim sɛ, sɛ woba de wo nsa bɛka no pɛ a, ɔbɛnyane.”
19 And having risen, Jesus followed him, also his disciples.
Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no ne ɔpanin no siim sɛ wɔrekɔ ɔpanin no fie.
20 And behold, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, after coming from behind, touched the edge of his garment.
Wɔrekɔ no, ɔbaa bi a mogya atu no mfirinhyia dumienu firii Yesu akyi sɔɔ nʼatadeɛ ano.
21 For she said within herself, If only I may touch his garment, I will be healed.
Ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim sɛ, “Sɛ mede me nsa ka no nko ara a, me ho bɛyɛ me den.”
22 But having turned around and seen her, Jesus said, Cheer up, daughter, thy faith has healed thee. And the woman was healed from that hour.
Yesu danee nʼani ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔbabaa, ma wo bo ntɔ wo yam. Wo gyidie agye wo. Wo ho atɔ wo.” Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no mu, ne ho tɔɔ no.
23 And Jesus having come into the ruler's house, and having seen the minstrels, and the crowd making a commotion,
Yesu duruu ɔpanin no fie hɔ a ɔhunuu sɛ nkurɔfoɔ no bi resu na ebinom reto ayiase nnwom no,
24 he says to them, Depart, for the little girl did not die, but sleeps. And they ridiculed him.
ɔkaa sɛ, “Obiara mfiri adi. Ababaawa no nwuiɛ. Wada!” Yesu asɛm a ɔkaeɛ yi maa nnipa no seree no.
25 But when the crowd was put out, having entered in, he took her hand, and the little girl arose.
Nnipa no nyinaa firii adi no, Yesu kɔɔ faako a ababaawa no da hɔ no. Ɔsɔɔ ne nsa. Prɛko pɛ, ababaawa no nyaneeɛ.
26 And this report went forth into all that land.
Saa anwanwadeɛ a Yesu yɛeɛ yi trɛɛ wɔ mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa.
27 And when Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed him, crying out, and saying, Be merciful to us, thou son of David.
Yesu firi deɛ ɔnyanee ababaawa no hɔ rekɔ no, anifirafoɔ baanu bi dii nʼakyi teateaam sɛ, “Dawid ba, hunu yɛn mmɔbɔ!”
28 And when he came into the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus says to them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say to him, Yes, Lord.
Yesu duruu efie no, anifirafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn. Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mogye di sɛ mɛtumi ama moahunu adeɛ?” Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Aane, Awurade, yɛgye di!”
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith may it happen to you.
Yesu de ne nsa kaa wɔn ani kaa sɛ, “Mo gyidie nyɛ deɛ mohwehwɛ mma mo!”
30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly warned them, saying, See that no man knows it.
Amonom hɔ ara na wɔn ani buebueeɛ. Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano sɛ, “Monnka saa ayaresa yi ho asɛm nkyerɛ obiara.”
31 But having departed, they widely proclaimed him in all that land.
Nanso, nnipa no firi hɔ pɛ, wɔbɔɔ asɛm no dawuro.
32 And after they departed, behold, they brought to him a mute man possessed with a demon.
Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ refiri adi no, wɔde mumu bi a honhommɔne wɔ ne so brɛɛ no.
33 And when the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
Yesu tuu honhommɔne no na prɛko pɛ, mumu no kasaeɛ. Saa honhommɔne tuo yi yɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa nwanwa ma wɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛnhunuu saa anwanwadeɛ yi bi da wɔ Israelman mu ha!”
34 But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of the demons he casts out demons.
Farisifoɔ no deɛ, wɔkaa sɛ, “Ɔbonsam de honhommɔne ahyɛ no ma enti na ɔtumi tu ahonhommɔne no.”
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Yesu kyinkyinii nkuro so ne nkuraa ase kaa Onyankopɔn Ahennie no ho asɛmpa wɔ wɔn hyiadan mu. Baabiara a ɔkɔeɛ no, ɔsaa nyarewa ahodoɔ bebree.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he felt compassion for them, because they were troubled and dejected, as sheep having no shepherd.
Ɛberɛ a Yesu hunuu nnipadɔm no, ne yam hyehyee no maa wɔn ɛfiri sɛ, ɔhunuu sɛ ɔhaw ahodoɔ gu wɔn so a, wɔnhunu deɛ wɔnyɛ ne deɛ wɔmfa a wɔbɛnya mmoa nso. Wɔte sɛ nnwan a wɔnni ɔhwɛfoɔ.
37 Then he says to his disciples, The harvest truly is plentiful, but the workmen are few.
Ɛha na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Otwa adwuma no dɔɔso, na adwumayɛfoɔ no deɛ, wɔsua.
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth workmen into his harvest.
Enti, monsrɛ adwumawura no na ɔmma adwumayɛfoɔ bebree mmra ne twa adwuma no mu.”
