Mark 1
1 Here is the beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Asɛmpa a ɛfa Yesu Kristo, Onyankopɔn Ba no ho no mfiase ni.
2 Just as the prophet Isaiah wrote, “I'm sending my messenger ahead of you to prepare your way.
Wɔakyerɛw wɔ Odiyifo Yesaia nhoma no mu se, “Mɛsoma me bɔfo adi wʼanim kan. Ɔno na obesiesie ɔkwan ama wo.”
3 A voice is calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the Lord's way! Make his paths straight.’”
“Obi nne reteɛ mu wɔ sare so, ‘Munsiesie ɔkwan mma Awurade, mommɔ akwan a ɛteɛ mma no.’”
4 John came, baptizing in the desert, announcing a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Enti Yohane ba bɛbɔɔ asu wɔ sare so, ɔkaa adwensakra asubɔ a ɛma bɔnefakyɛ ho asɛm.
5 Everybody from the country of Judea and from Jerusalem went to him. They admitted their sins publicly and were baptized in the Jordan River.
Nnipa fifi Yerusalem ne Yudea nkurow nyinaa so kohuu Yohane tiee no. Na wɔkaa wɔn bɔne kyerɛɛ no no, ɔbɔɔ wɔn asu wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu.
6 John wore clothes made of camel hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
Na Yohane hyɛ atade a wɔde yoma nwi na apam a aboa nhoma abɔso nso bɔ mu. Na nʼaduan yɛ mmoadabi ne ɛwo.
7 This is what he had to say: “After me someone is coming who is greater than I am. I'm not worthy to bend down and untie his sandals.
Ɔrekyerɛkyerɛ no, ɔkae se, “Ɛrenkyɛ koraa, obi bɛba a ɔwɔ tumi sen me, a ne mpaboa hama mpo, mensɛ sɛ mekotow na masan.
8 I baptized you in water but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
Me de, mede nsu na ɛbɔ mo asu, na ɔno de, ɔde Honhom Kronkron na ɛbɛbɔ mo asu!”
9 Then Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River.
Saa bere no mu na Yesu fi Nasaret a ɛwɔ Galileaman mu ba maa Yohane bɔɔ no asu wɔ asubɔnten Yordan mu.
10 As Jesus came out of the water, he saw the heavens split apart and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him.
Yesu fii asu no mu sii konkɔn so ara pɛ, ohuu sɛ ɔsoro abue, na Honhom Kronkron resian sɛ aborɔnoma aba ne so.
11 A voice from heaven said, “You are my son, the one I love. I am very pleased with you.”
Na nne bi fi ɔsoro kae se, “Wone me Dɔba a wosɔ mʼani.”
12 Right after this the Spirit sent him away into the desert
Ɛhɔ ara, Honhom Kronkron de Yesu kɔɔ sare so.
13 where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was with the wild animals, and angels took care of him.
Ɔtenaa hɔ adaduanan a na wuram mmoa na ɛka ne ho. Ɛhɔ na ɔbonsam sɔɔ no hwɛe. Akyiri no, abɔfo ba bɛsom no.
14 Later, after John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, announcing God's good news.
Ɔhene Herode kyeree Yohane akyi no, Yesu kɔɔ Galilea kɔkaa asɛmpa no wɔ hɔ.
15 “The time predicted has come,” he said. “God's kingdom has arrived! Repent and believe in the good news.”
Ɔkae se, “Bere no awie du! Onyankopɔn ahenni no abɛn. Monsakra mo adwene na munnye asɛmpa no nni!”
16 As he was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they made their living by fishing.
Da bi a Yesu nam Galilea mpoano no, ohuu Simon ne ne nua Andrea sɛ wɔregu asau.
17 “Come and follow me,” he told them, “and I will have you fishing for people.”
Yesu frɛɛ wɔn se, “Mummedi mʼakyi! Na mɛma mo ayɛ nnipayifo.”
18 They left their nets at once and followed him.
Ɛhɔ ara, wogyaw wɔn asau no guu hɔ kodii nʼakyi.
19 He went a little farther and saw James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat mending their nets.
Ɔkɔɔ nʼanim kakra no, ohuu Sebedeo mma baanu a wɔfrɛ ɔbaako Yohane, na ɔbaako nso de Yakobo, sɛ wɔte ɔkorow mu reyɛ wɔn asau ho adwuma.
20 Immediately he called them to follow him, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired workers, and followed Jesus.
Ɔfrɛɛ wɔn nso se wommedi nʼakyi. Ntɛm ara na wogyaw wɔn agya Sebedeo ne nʼapaafo hɔ wɔ ɔkorow no mu bedii nʼakyi.
21 They left for Capernaum, and on Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught there.
Yesu ne nʼakyidifo yi beduu Kapernaum. Na Homeda duu no, ɔkɔɔ asɔredan mu kɔkaa asɛmpa no.
22 The people were amazed at his teaching, for he spoke with authority, unlike the religious teachers.
Nnipa no tee asɛm no maa wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn, efisɛ ɔkasaa te sɛ obi a ɔwɔ tumi, na mmom wankasa sɛ Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no.
23 Suddenly, right there in the synagogue, a man with an evil spirit started shouting out,
Amono mu hɔ ara na ɔbarima bi a ɔwɔ wɔn hyiadan no mu hɔ a ɔwɔ honhommɔne teɛɛ mu se,
24 “Jesus of Nazareth, why are you bothering us? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are! You're God's Holy One!”
“Dɛn na wo Nasareni Yesu ne yɛn wɔ yɛ? Woaba sɛ worebɛsɛe yɛn ana? Minim wo sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba Kronkron no!”
25 Jesus interrupted the evil spirit, telling him, “Be quiet! Come out of him.”
Yesu teɛteɛɛ honhommɔne no se, “Mua wʼano! Fi ne mu kɔ!”
26 The evil spirit screamed, threw the man into convulsions, and came out of him.
Honhommɔne no wosow saa ɔbarima no na ɔteɛteɛɛ mu dennen maa ne tu kɔe.
27 Everyone was amazed at what happened. “What is this?” they asked each other. “What is this new teaching that has such authority? Even evil spirits do what he tells them!”
Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn ma wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se. “Nkyerɛkyerɛ foforo bɛn ni? Ahonhommɔne mpo tie ne nne!”
28 News about him spread quickly throughout the whole region of Galilee.
Saa anwonwade a ɔyɛe yi ho nsɛm trɛw faa Galileaman mu nyinaa.
29 Then they left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.
Wofii hyiadan no mu no, wɔne Yakobo ne Yohane kɔɔ Simon ne Andrea fi.
30 Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, so they told Jesus about her.
Na Simon asebea da mpa so a atiridii akyere no, na wɔkaa ne ho asɛm kyerɛɛ Yesu.
31 He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever immediately left her. Then she made them a meal.
Yesu kɔɔ faako a ɔda hɔ kosoo ne nsa ma ɔsɔre tenaa ase. Ɛhɔ ara na atiridii no tu fii ne so ma ofii ase twɛn wɔn.
32 After sunset that evening, those who were sick and demon-possessed were brought to Jesus.
Eduu anwummere no, nnipa no de ayarefo ne wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonhommɔne brɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔnsa wɔn yare.
33 The whole of the town gathered outside.
Kurow mu no nyinaa bɛboaa wɔn ho ano wɔ ofi no abobow ano,
34 He healed many people who had various diseases, and threw out many demons. He did not permit the demons to speak, for they knew who he was.
na Yesu saa ayarefo bebree yare. Otuu ahonhommɔne bebree nso. Nanso, wamma ahonhommɔne no ankasa, efisɛ, na wonim no.
35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and went alone to a quiet place to pray.
Ahemadakye a na anim ntetewee no, Yesu sɔre fii fie hɔ kɔɔ baabi a ɛhɔ yɛ dinn, kɔbɔɔ mpae wɔ hɔ.
36 Simon and the others went to search for him.
Simon ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho fii adi kɔhwehwɛɛ no,
37 When they found him, they told him, “Everybody's looking for you.”
na wohuu no no, wɔteɛɛ mu kae se, “Nnipa bebree rehwehwɛ wo!”
38 But Jesus replied, “We have to go to the other towns around here so that I can tell them the good news as well—for that's why I came.”
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkɔ nkurow a aka no so, na mekɔka mʼasɛm kyerɛ wɔn, efisɛ, ɛno nti na mebae.”
39 So he went all over Galilee, speaking in the synagogues and expelling demons.
Enti, ɔkɔɔ Galileaman mu baabiara kɔkaa asɛmpa no wɔ asɔredan mu, tuu ahonhommɔne bebree nso.
40 A leper came to him asking for help. The man kneeled down before Jesus, saying, “Please, if you're willing, you can heal me!”
Ɔkwatani bi bɛkotow no srɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ ɛyɛ wo pɛ a, wubetumi ama me ho afi.”
41 With compassion Jesus reached out and touched the man, and said, “I am willing. Be healed!”
Yesu huu ɔkwatani no mmɔbɔ, enti ɔde ne nsa kaa no kae se, “Mepɛ! Wo ho mfi!”
42 The leprosy left him immediately, and he was healed.
Amono mu hɔ ara, ne ho fi maa ne ho tɔɔ no!
43 Jesus sent him away with a strong warning.
Yesu bɔɔ nʼano denneennen se,
44 “Make sure you don't tell anybody anything about this,” he told him. “Go to the priest and show yourself to him. Give the offering which is required by the law of Moses for such cleansing, so that people will have proof.”
“Nka saa asɛm yi nkyerɛ obiara, na mmom fa wo ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo. Sɛ worekɔ a fa wʼafɔrebɔde a Mose ahyɛ sɛ akwatafo a wɔasa wɔn yare mfa nka wɔn ho nkɔ no ka wo ho kɔ sɛnea ɛbɛma obiara ahu sɛ wo ho atɔ wo.”
45 But the healed leper went out and told everyone what had happened. As a result Jesus could not openly go into the cities anymore, but had to stay out in the country where people came to him from everywhere around.
Nanso ɔrekɔ no nyinaa, na ɔde nteɛteɛmu rebɔ nʼayaresa no ho dawuru. Esiane eyi nti sɛ Yesu kɔ baabiara a, nnipadɔm betwa ne ho hyia. Ɛno nti na baabiara a ɔbɛkɔ no onnyi ne ho adi. Enti ɔtenaa sare so hɔ maa nnipa bebree baa ne nkyɛn.
