Luke 8
1 Soon afterward, Jesus traveled from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with Him,
Eyi akyi no, Yesu ne nʼasuafo dumien no kyinkyinii Galilea nkurow ne nkuraa bi ase kaa Onyankopɔn ahenni no ho asɛm a,
2 as well as some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
na nnipa a wodi nʼakyi no bi ne Maria Magdalene a otuu ahonhommɔne ason fii ne mu no
3 Joanna the wife of Herod’s household manager Chuza, Susanna, and many others. These women were ministering to them out of their own means.
ne Yohana a ɔyɛ Kusa, Herode fi sohwɛfo panyin yere, ne Susana. Saa mmea yi ne afoforo bi na wofi wɔn ahonya mu hwɛɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafo.
4 While a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to Jesus from town after town, He told them this parable:
Da bi a nnipa bebree bi fi nkurow nkurow so baa ne nkyɛn no, ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn abebu mu se,
5 “A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, where it was trampled, and the birds of the air devoured it.
“Da bi, okuafo bi kɔɔ nʼafum koguu aba. Ogui no, aba no bi koguu ɔkwan mu maa nnipa tiatiaa so na nnomaa nso bɛsosɔwee.
6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the seedlings withered because they had no moisture.
Ebi nso koguu ɔbotan so, enti efifii no, ankyɛ na ne nyinaa hyewee, efisɛ annya nsu.
7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the seedlings.
Aba no bi nso koguu nsɔe mu. Efifii no, nsɔe no kyekyeree no na ewui.
8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprang up and produced a crop—a hundredfold.” As Jesus said this, He called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Ebi nso koguu asase pa mu, enyinii, sow aba mmɔho ɔha.” Na ɔkaa eyi no, ɔka kaa ho se, “Nea ɔwɔ aso a obetie no, ontie.”
9 Then His disciples asked Him what this parable meant.
Na nʼasuafo no bisaa no saa bɛ no ase no,
10 He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’
obuaa wɔn se, “Mo de, wɔde Onyankopɔn Ahenni ho ahintasɛm ama mo, na afoforo de, wɔkasa kyerɛ wɔn mmebu mu, “‘sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛhwɛ, nanso wɔrenhu na wɔbɛte, nanso wɔrente ase.’
11 Now this is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
“Afei bɛ no nkyerɛase ni. Aba no ne Onyankopɔn asɛm.
12 The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
Aba a eguu ɔkwan mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm no na ɔbonsam behwim fi wɔn koma mu, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔrennye nni na wɔrennya nkwagye.
13 The seeds on rocky ground are those who hear the word and receive it with joy, but they have no root. They believe for a season, but in the time of testing, they fall away.
Aba a eguu ɔbotan so no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte asɛm no na wɔde anigye so mu, nanso ɛntena wɔn mu. Na esiane wɔn gyidi a esua nti, ɛnkyɛ na asɛm no awu. Na sɛ sɔhwɛ ba wɔn so a, wɔpa abaw.
14 The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.
Aba a eguu nsɔe mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm, na wodi so, nanso asetena mu haw ne abɛbrɛsɛ, ahonya ne wiase afɛfɛde nti, asɛm no ntumi nyɛ wɔn mu adwuma sɛnea ɛsɛ.
15 But the seeds on good soil are those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, cling to it, and by persevering produce a crop.
Aba a eguu asase pa mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔde koma pa tie asɛmpa no, na wodi so, gyina pintinn de abrabɔ pa di ho adanse.
16 No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.
“Obi nsɔ kanea na ɔmfa kɛntɛn mmutuw so, anaa ɔmfa nhyɛ mpa ase na mmom, ɔde si kaneadua so na ahyerɛn ama wɔn a wɔba mu no.
17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be made known and brought to light.
Nea ahintaw no bɛda adi, na nea ɛwɔ kokoa mu no nso ada gua.
18 Pay attention, therefore, to how you listen. Whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”
Enti nea mutie no, muntie no yiye. Obiara a ɔwɔ no wɔbɛma no pii aka ho, na nea onni ahe bi no, nea osusuw sɛ ɛyɛ ne de no mpo, wobegye afi ne nsam.”
19 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see Him, but they were unable to reach Him because of the crowd.
Da bi, Yesu na ne ne nuanom pɛɛ sɛ wɔne no kasa, nanso esiane nnipakuw a na wɔatwa ne ho ahyia no nti, wɔantumi ne no ankasa.
20 He was told, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”
Obi kɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu se ne na ne ne nuanom gyina nkyɛn hɔ baabi rehwehwɛ no.
21 But He replied, “My mother and brothers are those who hear the word of God and carry it out.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Me na ne me nuanom ne wɔn a wotie Onyankopɔn asɛm na wodi so.”
22 One day Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side of the lake.” So He got into a boat with them and set out.
Da bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafo te ɔkorow mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momma yentwa nkɔ asuogya nohɔ.” Wosii mu a wɔrekɔ no,
23 As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a windstorm came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
Yesu dae. Saa bere no ara mu na ahum a ano yɛ den bi bɔ maa nsu bɛtaa ɔkorow no mu maa ɔkorow no yɛɛ sɛ ɛremem. Eyi maa asuafo no koma tuu yiye.
24 The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters, and they subsided, and all was calm.
Asuafo no de hu ne nteɛteɛmu nyan no se, “Awurade, Awurade, yɛremem!” Amono mu hɔ ara, Yesu sɔre teɛteɛɛ ahum a ano yɛ den ne asorɔkye no ma ɛyɛɛ dinn.
25 “Where is your faith?” He asked. Frightened and amazed, they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him!”
Afei obisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn na munni gyidi?” Wɔn nyinaa suroe, de ahodwiriw bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se. “Onipa bɛn ni a mframa a ano yɛ den ne asorɔkye mpo tie no yi?”
26 Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no twaa po no beduu Gerasefo asase a ɛne Galilea di nhwɛanim no so.
27 When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs.
Yesu fii ɔkorow no mu sii fam pɛ na ɔbarima bi a ahonhommɔne ahyɛ no ma akyɛ a ɔda adagyaw na ɔnte fie, na mmom ɔte amusiei a aboda mu na ɔdeda no behyiaa no.
28 When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”
Ohuu Yesu no, ɔteɛɛ mu, kotow nʼanan ase san teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Yesu, Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn Ba, dɛn na wo ne me wɔ yɛ? Mesrɛ wo, nyɛ me ayayade biara.”
29 For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.
Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, efisɛ na Yesu ateɛteɛ ahonhommɔne no sɛ womfi ne mu. Saa ahonhommɔne yi taa ka no na sɛ wɔde hama kyekyere ne nsa ne nʼanan mpo a, otumi tetew mu ma ahonhommɔne no pam no kɔ wuram.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.
Yesu bisaa no se, “Wo din de dɛn?” Obuaa no se, “Dɔm.” Efisɛ na ahonhommɔne ahyɛ no ma.
Ahohommɔne no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔnnhyɛ wɔn mma wonnkogu amanehunu bon no mu. (Abyssos g12)
32 There on the hillside a large herd of pigs was feeding. So the demons begged Jesus to let them enter the pigs, and He gave them permission.
Saa bere no na mprako bi redidi wɔ bepɔw no nkyɛn mu baabi. Ahohommɔne no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔmma wɔn ho kwan na wonkowura mprako no mu. Na ɔmaa wɔn ho kwan.
33 Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
Enti ahonhommɔne no fii ɔbarima no mu kowuraa mprako no mu ma wɔbɔɔ kirididi, sian bepɔw no koguu ɔtare no mu wuwui.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.
Wɔn a wɔhwɛ mprako no so no huu nea asi no, wɔde hu ne ahopopo tutuu mmirika kɔbɔɔ amanneɛ wɔ kurom maa asɛm no trɛw wɔ mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa.
35 So the people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man whom the demons had left, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm no bɔɔ twi kɔhwɛɛ nea asi. Woduu nea Yesu wɔ no, wohuu ɔbarima no sɛ ne ho atɔ no a ofura ntama te Yesu nkyɛn. Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn.
36 Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
Na wɔn a wohuu ɔkwan a Yesu faa so saa ɔbarima no ɔyare no bɔɔ wɔn a wɔbaa hɔ no amanneɛ.
37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to depart from them, because great fear had taken hold of them. So He got into the boat and started back.
Ehu hyɛɛ Gerasefo a na wɔahyia wɔ hɔ no nyinaa ma, ma wɔsrɛɛ Yesu sɛ omfi wɔn nkyɛn hɔ nkɔ. Eyi nti, Yesu kɔtenaa ɔkorow no mu san twa kɔɔ asuogya nohɔ.
38 The man whom the demons had left begged to go with Jesus. But He sent him away, saying,
Ansa na Yesu rebefi hɔ no, ɔbarima a otuu ahonhommɔne fii ne mu no srɛɛ no sɛ ɔne no bɛkɔ. Nanso Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se,
39 “Return home and describe how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and proclaimed all over the town how much Jesus had done for him.
“Kɔ na kodi nea Onyankopɔn ayɛ ama wo no ho adanse kyerɛ wo manfo.” Ɔbarima no fii hɔ kodii anwonwade a Yesu ayɛ ama no no ho adanse kyerɛɛ kurom hɔfo nyinaa.
40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.
Yesu duu asuogya hɔ no, nnipakuw no de anigye hyiaa no kwan, efisɛ na wɔatwɛn no abrɛ.
41 Just then a synagogue leader named Jairus came and fell at Jesus’ feet. He begged Him to come to his house,
Ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Yairo a na ɔyɛ Yudafo hyiadan mu panyin baa ne nkyɛn bebuu no nkotodwe, srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔne no nkɔ ne fi
42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. As Jesus went with him, the crowds pressed around Him,
na ne babea koro a wadi bɛyɛ mfe dumien reyɛ awu. Bere a Yesu rekɔ no na nnipakuw no kyere ne so.
43 including a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all her money on physicians, but no one was able to heal her.
Ɔbea bi a mogya atu no mfirihyia dumien a obiara ntumi nsa no yare no,
44 She came up behind Jesus and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
fii Yesu akyi soo nʼatade ano. Amono mu hɔ ara na mogya a etu no no twae.
45 “Who touched Me?” Jesus asked. But they all denied it. “Master,” said Peter, “the people are crowding and pressing against You.”
Yesu bisae se, “Hena na osoo mʼatade ano no no?” Obiara buae se ɛnyɛ ɔno. Eyi maa Petro kae se, “Awurade, na sɛ nnipa no akyere wo so.”
46 But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”
Yesu buaa no se, “Dabi, obi aso mʼatade mu efisɛ mete nka sɛ tumi bi afi me mu.”
47 Then the woman, seeing that she could not escape notice, came trembling and fell down before Him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched Him and how she had immediately been healed.
Ɔbea no huu sɛ ohintaw a ɛrenyɛ ye nti, ɔde hu ne ahopopo bebuu Yesu nkotodwe wɔ nnipa no nyinaa anim, kyerɛɛ no nea enti a osoo ne mu ne sɛnea ne ho atɔ no no.
48 “Daughter,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɔbabea, wo gyidi ama wo ho atɔ wo. Fa asomdwoe kɔ.”
49 While He was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” he told Jairus. “Do not bother the Teacher anymore.”
Yesu gu so rekasa no, obi fi Yairo fi bɛka kyerɛɛ Yairo se, “Wo babea no anya awu enti nhaw Kyerɛkyerɛfo no bio.”
50 But Jesus overheard them and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”
Yesu tee asɛm no osee Yairo se, “Nsuro, gye di, na wo babea no benyan anya nkwa.”
51 When He entered the house, He did not allow anyone to go in with Him except Peter, John, James, and the child’s father and mother.
Oduu fie hɔ no, wamma obiara anka ne ho ankɔ ɔdan a abofra no da mu no mu gye Petro, Yohane, Yakobo ne abofra no awofo nko ara.
52 Meanwhile, everyone was weeping and mourning for her. But Jesus said, “Stop weeping; she is not dead but asleep.”
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa resu di awerɛhow. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munnsu, onwui na wada.”
53 And they laughed at Him, knowing that she was dead.
Wɔserew no dii ne ho fɛw, efisɛ na wɔn de, wonim pefee sɛ wawu.
54 But Jesus took her by the hand and called out, “Child, get up!”
Yesu soo ne nsa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Me ba, sɔre!”
55 Her spirit returned, and at once she got up. And He directed that she be given something to eat.
Amono mu hɔ ara, ɔsɔree na Yesu kae se wɔmma no biribi nni.
56 Her parents were astounded, but Jesus ordered them not to tell anyone what had happened.
Nʼawofo no ho dwiriw wɔn yiye nanso Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano se, wɔnnka nea asi no nkyerɛ obiara.
