Mark 10
1 And he got up, and went into the country of Judaea on the other side of Jordan: and great numbers of people came together to him again; and, as was his way, he gave them teaching.
Afei Yesu fii Galilea twa baa Yudea fam nohɔ wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan agya. Nnipakuw baa ne nkyɛn, na sɛnea ɔtaa yɛ no ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn.
2 And Pharisees came to him, testing him with the question, Is it right for a man to put away his wife?
Farisifo bi baa ne nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Wopene awaregyae so ana?” Wobisaa no eyi de sɔɔ no hwɛe.
3 And he said to them in answer, What did Moses say you were to do?
Yesu nso bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na Mose ka faa awaregyae ho?”
4 And they said to him, Moses let us give her a statement in writing, and be free from her.
Wobuae se, “Mose kaa se eye sɛ wogyae aware. Nʼasɛm a ɔkae ne sɛ, sɛ ɔbarima bi pɛ sɛ ogyaa ne yere aware a ɔnkyerɛw awaregyae krataa mfa mma ne yere no.”
5 But Jesus said to them, Because of your hard hearts he gave you this law.
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na ɔkaa saa? Merebɛkyerɛ mo nea enti a ɔkaa saa. Esiane mo koma a apirim no nti na ɔkaa saa kyerɛɛ mo.
6 But from the first, male and female made he them.
Nanso eyi mfi Onyankopɔn. Efi adebɔ mfiase na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔbarima ne ɔbea kaa wɔn bɔɔ mu.
7 For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife;
Eyi nti na ɔbarima begyaw nʼagya ne ne na,
8 And the two will become one flesh; so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
na ɔde ne ho akɔbɔ ne yere ho, na wɔn baanu no ayɛ ɔhonam koro.
9 Let not that which has been joined together by God be parted by man.
Na nea Onyankopɔn aka abɔ mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ onipa tetew mu.”
10 And in the house the disciples put questions to him again about this thing.
Akyiri a na ɔne nʼasuafo no wɔ fie no, asuafo no bisaa no saa asɛm koro no ara bio.
11 And he said to them, Whoever puts away his wife and takes another, is false to his wife;
Obuaa wɔn se, “Sɛ obi gyaa ne yere aware na ɔsan ware obi foforo a na wabɔ aguaman.
12 And if she herself puts away her husband and takes another, she is false to her husband.
Na sɛ ɔyere gyaa ne kunu aware na ɔsan ware a, na ɔno nso abɔ aguaman saa ara.”
13 And they took to him little children, so that he might put his hands on them: and the disciples said sharp words to them.
Na awofo bi de mmofra nkumaa brɛɛ Yesu se onhyira wɔn, nanso nʼasuafo no pampam wɔn a wɔde mmofra no bae no, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, wɔnnhaw no.
14 And when Jesus saw it, he was angry, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of God.
Yesu huu nea nʼasuafo no ayɛ no, anyɛ no dɛ na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momma mmofra no kwan na wɔmmra me nkyɛn, na munnsiw wɔn kwan, na eyinom sɛɛ na Onyankopɔn ahenni no yɛ wɔn dea.
15 Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.
Mereka akyerɛ mo se, obiara a ɔrennye Onyankopɔn ahenni no sɛ abofra no, ɔrentumi nhyɛn mu.”
16 And he took them in his arms, and gave them a blessing, putting his hands on them.
Na ɔyɛɛ wɔn atuu, de ne nsa guu wɔn so hyiraa wɔn.
17 And while he was going out into the way, a man came running to him, and went down on his knees, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
Na osii mu sɛ ɔrekɔ baabi foforo no, ɔbarima bi tutuu mmirika baa ne nkyɛn bebuu no nkotodwe bisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo pa, dɛn na menyɛ na manya nkwa a enni awiei?” (aiōnios g166)
18 And Jesus said to him, Why do you say I am good? no one is good but one, and that is God.
Yesu bisaa no se “Adɛn na wofrɛ me papa? Obiara nyɛ papa gye ɔbaako; ɔne Onyankopɔn.
19 You have knowledge of what is said in the law, Do not put any one to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Do not get money by deceit, Give honour to your father and mother.
Ɛfa wʼasɛmmisa no ho nso, wunim mmaransɛm no: ‘Mmɔ aguaman! Nni awu! Mmɔ korɔn! Nni adansekurum! Di wʼagya ne wo na ni!’”
20 And he said to him, Master, all these laws I have kept from the time when I was young.
Aberante no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, eyinom nyinaa mifi me mmofraase na midii so.”
21 And Jesus, looking on him and loving him, said, There is one thing needed: go, get money for your goods, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come with me.
Yesu hwɛɛ aberante yi dinn, nyaa ɔdɔ bi maa no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Aka wo ade baako. Kɔ na kɔtɔn biribiara a wowɔ, na fa sika no ma ahiafo, na wubenya agyapade wɔ ɔsoro, na bra bedi mʼakyi.”
22 But his face became sad at the saying, and he went away sorrowing: for he was one who had much property.
Aberante no tee saa asɛm no nʼanim sesae, na ɔde awerɛhow kɔe, efisɛ na ɔwɔ ahonyade bebree.
23 And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!
Ɔrekɔ no, Yesu hwɛɛ no na ɔdan ne ho ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Ɛyɛ den ma ɔdefo sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu!”
24 And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!
Asɛm a Yesu kaa no maa asuafo no ho dwiriw wɔn. Yesu san kaa bio se, “Me mma, sɛ moahu den a ɛyɛ ma wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonyade sɛ wɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu?
25 It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man of wealth to come into the kingdom of God.
Na ɛyɛ mmerɛw sɛ yoma bɛfa pane aniwa mu sen sɛ ɔdefo bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu.”
26 And they were greatly surprised, saying to him, Who then may have salvation?
Asuafo no ho dwiriw wɔn mmoroso na wobisaa no se, “Ɛno de, na hena na wobegye no nkwa?”
27 Jesus, looking on them, said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.
Yesu hwɛɛ wɔn dinn kae se, “Onipa fam de, ɛyɛ den, na Onyankopɔn fam de, biribiara betumi aba mu.”
28 Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything, and come after you.
Afei Petro fii ase kenkan nneɛma a ɔne asuafo no agyaw abedi Yesu akyi. Ɔkae se, “Yagyaw biribiara abedi wʼakyi.”
29 Jesus said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, because of me and the good news,
Yesu nso buaa no se, “Merema mo ate ase sɛ, obi nni hɔ a me nti wagyaw ofi, nuabarimanom, nuabeanom, ɛna, agya ne mma anaasɛ agyapade a ɔbɛkɔ akɔka Asɛmpa no,
31 But a great number who are first will be last: and those who are last will be first.
Na adikanfo pii bedi akyi, na akyikafo abedi kan.”
32 And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were full of wonder; but those who came after him were in fear. And again he took the twelve, and gave them word of the things which were to come on him,
Afei wosii mu sɛ wɔrekɔ Yerusalem a na Yesu di wɔn kan; na bere a asuafo no di nʼakyi no, ehu ne osuro kaa wɔn. Yesu twee wɔn gyinaa nkyɛn, na ɔsan kaa nneɛma a sɛ wodu Yerusalem a ɛbɛba ne so no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
33 Saying, See, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be given up to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will give an order for his death, and will give him up to the Gentiles:
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛ yedu hɔ a wobeyi me, Onipa Ba no ama asɔfo mpanyin ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo, na wɔabu me kumfɔ, na wɔde me ahyɛ Roma aban nsa, na wɔakum me.
34 And they will make sport of him, and put shame on him, and give him cruel blows, and will put him to death; and after three days he will come back from the dead.
Wobedi me ho fɛw, na wɔatete ntasu agu me so, na wɔde mpire atwa me mmaa, na wɔakum me, na nnansa so no, masɔre bio.”
35 And there came to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Master, will you give us whatever may be our request?
Afei Sebedeo mma Yakobo ne Yohane baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yɛpɛ sɛ woyɛ yɛn adɔe bi.”
36 And he said to them, What would you have me do for you?
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na mopɛ sɛ meyɛ ma mo?”
37 And they said to him, Let us be seated, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory.
Wobuae se, “Ma yɛn mu baako ntena wo nifa so, na ɔbaako nso ntena wo benkum so wɔ wʼahenni mu hɔ!”
38 But Jesus said to them, You have no knowledge of what you are saying. Are you able to take of my cup? or to undergo the baptism which I am to undergo?
Yesu maa wɔn mmuae se, “Munnim nea mubisa no! Mubetumi anom awerɛhow kuruwa nwenweenwen a ɛsɛ sɛ menom ano no ana? Anaasɛ mubetumi ama wɔde amanehunu asubɔ no abɔ mo asu?”
39 And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, You will take of the cup from which I take; and the baptism which I am about to undergo you will undergo:
Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yebetumi!” Na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mubetumi anom me kuruwa ano, na wɔde asubɔ a wɔde bɔ me no abɔ mo;
40 But to be seated at my right hand or at my left is not for me to give: but it is for those for whom it has been made ready.
nanso minni tumi sɛ miyi 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 hearing this, the ten became very angry with James and John.
Asuafo a wɔaka no tee nea Yakobo ne Yohane kobisaa no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ.
42 And Jesus made them come to him, and said to them, You see that those who are made rulers over the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.
Enti Yesu frɛɛ wɔn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munim sɛ ahene ne atumfo a wɔwɔ wiase no di wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn ase no so,
43 But it is not so among you: but whoever has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant:
nanso mo de, ɛnte saa wɔ mo ho. Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkɛse wɔ mo mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ mo somfo.
44 And whoever has a desire to be first among you, let him be servant of all.
Na obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ne nuanom so panyin no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ wɔn nyinaa akoa.
45 For truly the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.
Onipa Ba no amma sɛ wɔnsom no, na mmom ɔbɛsomee, na ɔde ne kra too hɔ sɛ mpata maa nnipa nyinaa.”
46 And they came to Jericho: and when he was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great number of people, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind man, was seated by the wayside, with his hand out for money.
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no beduu Yeriko. Wɔrefi kurow no mu no, nnipakuw tu dii wɔn akyi. Saa bere a Yesu retwa mu no, na onifuraefo Bartimeo a ne din nkyerɛase ne “Timoteo ba” no te kwankyɛn resrɛsrɛ ade.
47 And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
Bere a Bartimeo tee sɛ Yesu Nasareni na ɔretwam no, ofii ase teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Dawid Ba Yesu, hu me mmɔbɔ!”
48 And some of them, turning in protest, gave him an order to be quiet: but he went on crying out all the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.
Nnipa no bi teɛteɛɛ no se, “Mua wʼano!” Nanso ɔkɔɔ so teɛteɛɛ mu dennen se, “Dawid ba, hu me mmɔbɔ!”
49 And Jesus came to a stop and said, Let him come. And crying out to the blind man, they said to him, Be comforted: come, he has sent for you.
Bere a Yesu tee ne nne no, ogyina kae se, “Momfrɛ no mma me.” Wɔfrɛɛ onifuraefo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ma wo bo ntɔ wo yam, sɔre na ɔrefrɛ wo!”
50 And he, putting off his coat, got up quickly, and came to Jesus.
Bartimeo tow ne ntama gui, sɔre baa Yesu nkyɛn.
51 And Jesus said to him, What would you have me do to you? And the blind man said, Master, make me able to see.
Yesu bisaa no se, “Dɛn na wopɛ sɛ meyɛ ma wo?” Onifuraefo no buae se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, mepɛ sɛ mihu ade!”
52 And Jesus said to him, Go on your way; your faith has made you well. And straight away he was able to see, and went after him in the way.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ, na wo gyidi agye wo.” Na ntɛm ara onifuraefo no huu ade, na odii Yesu akyi.
