Matthew 8
1 When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.
Bere a Yesu sian bepɔw no, dɔm dii nʼakyi.
2 Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”
Ɔkwatani bi baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛkotow no srɛɛ no se, “Me wura, mesrɛ wo, sɛ ɛyɛ wo pɛ a, sa me yare.”
3 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Yesu teɛɛ ne nsa de kaa ɔkwatani no kae se, “Mɛsa wo yare. Wo ho mfi!” Amono mu hɔ ara, kwata no fii ne ho.
4 Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo ne obiara nni wʼayaresa yi ho nkɔmmɔ. Kɔ na fa wo ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo, na bɔ afɔre a Mose hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmmɔ sɛ adansede no.”
5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him,
Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum. Oduu hɔ no, Roma asraafo ɔha so panyin bi baa ne kyɛn bebuu no nkotodwe kae se,
6 “Lord, my servant lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”
“Awurade, mʼabofra abubu gu hɔ a ɔrehu amane; mesrɛ wo, bɛsa no yare ma me.”
7 “I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mɛba abɛsa no yare.”
8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Asraafo ha so panyin no tee Yesu asɛm a ɔkae no, ɔkae se, “Awurade, memfata sɛ woba me fi. Ka biribi na mʼabofra no ho bɛyɛ no den.
9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes; and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”
Meyɛ obi a mehyɛ tumi ase, na mesan wɔ asraafo a wɔhyɛ mʼase. Meka kyerɛ wɔn mu bi sɛ ɔnkɔ a, ɔkɔ. Meka kyerɛ ɔfoforo se ɔmmra a, ɔba. Saa ara nso na mehyɛ me somfo sɛ ɔnyɛ biribi a, ɔyɛ ara ne no.”
10 When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
Yesu tee saa asɛm no, ɛyɛɛ no nwonwa. Ɔdan nʼani, ka kyerɛɛ nnipadɔm a wodi nʼakyi no se, “Israelman mu nyinaa, minhuu gyidi a ɛte sɛɛ da.
11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
Na mereka akyerɛ mo se, nnipa pii befi apuei ne atɔe aba na wɔne Abraham, Isak ne Yakob abɛtena ase wɔ ɔsoro Ahenni no mu.
12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Na Israelfo a wosiesiee ɔsoro ahenni maa wɔn no mu pii wɔ hɔ a wɔde wɔn nsa begu wɔn ti atwa agyaadwo na wɔatow wɔn agu sum kabii mu ama ɔyaw.”
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, so will it be done for you.” And his servant was healed at that very hour.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ asraafo so panyin no se, “Kɔ fie. Nea wugye di no mmra mu saa mma wo!” Abofra no ho tɔɔ no saa bere no ara mu!
14 When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.
Yesu kɔɔ Petro fi. Ɔkɔtoo sɛ atiridii akyere Petro asebea ma ɔda hɔ.
15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve them.
Yesu soo ne nsa mu maa atiridii no tu fii no so. Ɔsɔre noaa aduan maa wɔn.
16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
Saa da no anwummere no, wɔde wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonhommɔne pii brɛɛ Yesu. Nʼanom asɛm a ɔkae no maa ahonhommɔne no nyinaa tu yerae, na wɔn a wɔyare no nyinaa nso ho tɔɔ wɔn.
17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took on our infirmities and carried our diseases.”
Eyi maa nea Odiyifo Yesaia kae se, “Ɔfaa yɛn ahoɔmmerɛw, na ɔsoaa yɛn nyarewa nyinaa” no baa mu.
18 When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.
Yesu huu sɛ dɔm no redɔɔso no, ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, wontwa ɔtare no nkɔ nʼagya nohɔ.
19 And one of the scribes came to Him and said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”
Ɛhɔ ara Yudani kyerɛkyerɛfo bi ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, baabiara a wobɛkɔ no, medi wʼakyi!”
20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”
Yesu buaa no se, “Sakraman wɔ wɔn abon, wim nnomaa nso wɔ mmerebuw, nanso me, Onipa Ba no de, minni baabi a mede me ti to!”
21 Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
Asuafo no mu baako bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, ma me kwan na minkosie mʼagya ansa na mabedi wʼakyi.”
22 But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Nanso Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Di mʼakyi. Wɔn a wɔawu no nsie wɔn awufo.”
23 When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.
Yesu saa nyarewa no wiee no, ɔkɔtenaa ɔkorow mu na nʼasuafo no dii nʼakyi.
24 Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was engulfed by the waves; but Jesus was sleeping.
Prɛko pɛ, ahum kɛse bi tu maa asorɔkye bu bɛkataa ɔkorow no so. Nanso na Yesu de, wada.
25 The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
Nʼasuafo no de nteɛteɛmu kɔɔ ne nkyɛn, konyan no kae se, “Awurade! Gye yɛn na yɛreyɛ amem!”
26 “You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.
Yesu nyanee no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo a mo gyidi sua, adɛn na moabɔ hu saa?” Ɛhɔ ara, ɔsɔre teɛteɛɛ ahum ne asorɔkye no ma ɛyɛɛ dinn.
27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”
Asuafo no ho dwiriw wɔn yiye. Wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Onipa bɛn mpo ni a ahum ne ɛpo tie no yi?”
28 When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no duu asuogya wɔ Gadarafo asase so no, nnipa baanu bi a ahonhommɔne wɔ wɔn so fii amusiei behyiaa no. Esiane sɛ na saa nnipa yi yɛ keka nti, na obiara ntumi mfa faako a wɔwɔ hɔ.
29 “What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”
Wohuu no pɛ, wofii ase teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Onyankopɔn Ba, dɛn na worehwehwɛ afi yɛn nkyɛn? Woaba ha sɛ worebɛyɛ yɛn ayayade wɔ bere a mmere no nsoe ana?”
30 In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.
Saa bere koro no ara mu, na mprakokuw bi redidi wɔ nkyɛn baabi.
31 So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
Ahonhommɔne no srɛɛ Yesu se, “Sɛ wutu yɛn a, fa yɛn kɔhyɛ mprakokuw yi mu.”
32 “Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.
Yesu teɛɛ wɔn se, “Mumfi!” Ɛhɔ ara ahonhommɔne no fii nnipa no mu, kowuraa mprako no mu. Mprakokuw no nyinaa de mmirika sian bepɔw no, koguu ɛpo no mu ma ɛfaa wɔn.
33 Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.
Ntɛm ara, wɔn a wɔhwɛ mprako no so no tuu mmirika kɔɔ kurom, kɔkaa nea asi no kyerɛɛ nkurɔfo.
34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.
Kurom hɔfo no tee nea aba no, wɔbɔɔ twi kɔɔ nea Yesu wɔ hɔ no. Wohuu Yesu no, wɔsrɛɛ no sɛ omfi wɔn man mu hɔ nkɔ.
