John 8
1 And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,
Yesu san kɔɔ Ngo Bepɔw no so.
2 And early in the morning came againe into the Temple, and all the people came vnto him, and he sate downe, and taught them.
Ade kyee anɔpa no ɔsan baa hyiadan no mu. Nnipa bebree baa ne nkyɛn ma ofii ase kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn.
3 Then the Scribes, and the Pharises brought vnto him a woman, taken in adulterie, and set her in the middes,
Ogu so rekasa no, Yudafo mpanyin ne Farisifo de ɔbea bi a wɔkyeree no sɛ ɔrebɔ aguaman baa nʼanim.
4 And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte.
Wɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yɛkyeree ɔbea yi sɛ ɔrebɔ aguaman,
5 Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?
nanso Mose mmara hyɛ yɛn sɛ, ɔbea biara a wɔbɛkyere no wɔ saa ɔkwan no so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wosiw no abo. Dɛn na woka wɔ ho?”
6 And this they saide to tempt him, that they might haue, whereof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the groud.
Wobisaa no eyi de sum no afiri sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobenya asɛm bi agyina so atoto nʼano. Nanso Yesu bɔɔ ne mu ase de ne nsateaa kyerɛkyerɛw fam.
7 And while they continued asking him, hee lift himselfe vp, and sayde vnto them, Let him that is among you without sinne, cast the first stone at her.
Wogu so rebisabisa no nsɛm no, ɔmaa ne mu so ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo mu biara a ɔnyɛɛ bɔne da no nni kan ntow ɔbo mmɔ no.”
8 And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.
Ɔsan bɔɔ ne mu ase kyerɛkyerɛw fam.
9 And when they heard it, being accused by their owne conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at ye eldest euen to the last: so Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the mids.
Nnipa no tee asɛm a Yesu kae no, wofii ase fii hɔ mmaako mmaako fii mpanyin no so. Ɛkaa Yesu ne ɔbea no nko ara.
10 When Iesus had lift vp himselfe againe, and sawe no man, but the woman, hee saide vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
Yesu maa ne mu so no, obisaa ɔbea no se, “Nnipa a wɔde wo bae no wɔ he? Wɔn mu baako mpo nni ha a ɔbɛka asɛm bi atia wo?”
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne no more.
Ɔbea no buaa Yesu se, “Dabi, Owura.” Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ saa na ɛte de a, ɛno de me nso minni asɛm biara a mɛka de atia wo. Kɔ, na nkɔyɛ bɔne bio.”
12 Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am that light of the worlde: hee that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenes, but shall haue that light of life.
Yesu san toaa ne kasa no so ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Mene wiase hann no. Obiara a odi mʼakyi no rennantew sum mu da, na obenya hann a ɛkyerɛ nnipa kwan ma wɔkɔ nkwa mu.”
13 The Pharises therefore saide vnto him, Thou bearest recorde of thy selfe: thy recorde is not true.
Farisifo no tee asɛm a Yesu kae no, wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Asɛm a woreka yi de, yɛrennye nto mu, efisɛ wo ara na woredi wo ho adanse.”
14 Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, Though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe.
Yesu nso buaa wɔn se, “Sɛ me ara meredi me ho adanse mpo a, asɛm a meka no yɛ nokware, efisɛ minim faako a mifi bae ne faako a merekɔ. Na mo de, munnim faako a mifi bae ne faako a merekɔ nso.
15 Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.
Mo ankasa mode mo adwene na ebu atɛn na me de, mimmu obiara atɛn.
16 And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.
Nanso sɛ ɛba sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mibu atɛn a mʼatemmu bɛyɛ atɛntrenee, efisɛ ɛnyɛ me nko na mebu atɛn; Agya a ɔsomaa me no ka me ho.
17 And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.
Wɔakyerɛw wɔ mo mmara mu se sɛ nnansefo baanu adanse hyia a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ wɔn adanse no yɛ nokware.
18 I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me.
Midi me ho adanse na mʼAgya a ɔsomaa me no nso di me ho adanse.”
19 Then saide they vnto him, Where is that Father of thine? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor that Father of mine. If ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen that Father of mine also.
Nnipa no bisaa no se, “Ɛhe na wʼAgya no wɔ?” Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Munnim me na munnim mʼAgya no nso. Sɛ munim me a, anka mubehu mʼAgya no nso.”
20 These wordes spake Iesus in the treasurie, as hee taught in the Temple, and no man layde handes on him: for his houre was not yet come.
Yesu kaa eyinom nyinaa wɔ bere a na ɔrekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan no mu sikakorabea hɔ no. Obiara antumi amfa ne nsa anka no, efisɛ na ne bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkyere no no nnu ɛ.
21 Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, and shall die in your sinnes, Whither I goe, can ye not come.
Yesu san ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mefi mo nkyɛn akɔ; mobɛhwehwɛ me na morenhu me. Na mo de, mubewu wɔ mo bɔne mu. Faako a merekɔ no morentumi mma hɔ bi.”
22 Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?
Yudafo no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Ɛhe na ɔrekɔ a ose ‘obi rentumi nkɔ hɔ bi no?’ Gyama ɔrekokum ne ho?”
23 And hee saide vnto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from aboue: ye are of this world, I am not of this worlde.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mo de, mufi asase so ha nanso me de, mifi ɔsoro na mebae. Mo de, mufi wiase nanso me de, mimfi wiase,
24 I said therefore vnto you, That ye shall die in your sinnes: for except ye beleeue, that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes.
Ɛno nti na meka kyerɛ mo se mubewu wɔ mo bɔne mu no. Na sɛ moannye anni sɛ, mene nea mene a, mubewu wɔ mo bɔne mu.”
25 Then saide they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saide vnto them, Euen the same thing that I said vnto you from the beginning.
Wobisaa no se, “Wo koraa wone hena?” Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mene nea daa meka kyerɛ mo se meyɛ.
26 I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: but he that sent me, is true, and the things that I haue heard of him, those speake I to the world.
Mewɔ mo ho nsɛm pii a anka mɛka atia mo. Nanso nea ɔsomaa me no yɛ ɔnokwafo na asɛm a meka no yɛ nea mate afi ne nkyɛn.”
27 They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.
Nnipa no ante no ase sɛ nʼagya ho asɛm na ɔreka akyerɛ wɔn no.
28 Then said Iesus vnto them, When ye haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe, but as my Father hath taught me, so I speake these things.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛ munya ma Onipa Ba no so wɔ asennua no so a na mubehu sɛ mene nea mene no, na afei mubehu bio sɛ mimfi me ara me pɛ mu nyɛ biribiara, na mmom nea Agya no somaa me sɛ menka no nko ara na meka.
29 For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do alwayes those things that please him.
Nea ɔsomaa me no ka me ho daa. Onnyaw me da efisɛ meyɛ nea ɛsɔ nʼani.”
30 As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.
Nnipa a wɔtee nea Yesu kaa no mu dodow no ara gyee no dii.
31 Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Yudafo a wogyee no dii no se, “Sɛ mudi me nsɛm so a, moyɛ mʼasuafo.
32 And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.
Ɛno ansa na mubehu nokware no na nokware no bɛma moade mo ho.”
33 They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?
Nnipa no buaa no se, “Yɛn de, yɛyɛ Abraham asefo. Yɛnkɔɔ nkoasom mu da, na adɛn nti na woka se wobɛma yɛade yɛn ho?”
34 Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo se obiara a ɔyɛ bɔne no yɛ bɔne akoa.
Akoa biara nni kyɛfa wɔ abusua mu nanso ɔba de, daa ɔwɔ kyɛfa wɔ abusua mu. (aiōn g165)
36 If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.
Ɛno nti sɛ ɔba no ma mode mo ho a mobɛde mo ho ampa.
37 I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.
Migye to mu sɛ moyɛ Abraham asefo, nanso morehwehwɛ me akum me, efisɛ munni ne nkyerɛkyerɛ so.
38 I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with your father.
Nea mʼAgya ayi akyerɛ me no na meka ho asɛm, na mo de, nea mo agya aka akyerɛ mo no na mudi so.”
39 They answered, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham.
Nnipa no kae se, “Yɛn agya ne Abraham.” Yesu nso ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Moyɛ Abraham asefo ampa a anka ne nnwuma a ɔyɛe no bi pɛpɛɛpɛ na mobɛyɛ.
40 But nowe ye goe about to kill mee, a man that haue told you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham.
Nea mayɛ ne sɛ maka nokware a mote fii Agya no nkyɛn akyerɛ mo, nanso mohwehwɛ me akum me. Abraham anyɛ biribi a ɛte sɛ eyi.
41 Ye do the workes of your father. Then said they to him, We are not borne of fornication: we haue one Father, which is God.
Moreyɛ nea mo agya yɛe.” Nnipa no san kae se, “Onyankopɔn nko ara ne Agya a yɛwɔ na yɛyɛ ne mma ankasa.”
42 Therefore Iesus sayde vnto them, If God were your Father, then woulde ye loue mee: for I proceeded foorth, and came from God, neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ mo Agya ampa ara a anka mobɛdɔ me, efisɛ ne nkyɛn na mifi bae na mewɔ ha. Mamfi me pɛ mu na mebae; ɔno na ɔsomaa me.
43 Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.
Adɛn nti na monte nsɛm a mereka yi ase? Efisɛ mompɛ sɛ mote ase.
44 Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lustes of your father ye will doe: hee hath bene a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When hee speaketh a lie, then speaketh hee of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
Mo de, ɔbonsam ne mo agya na mopɛ sɛ moyɛ nneɛma a ɔyɛ no nso bi. Ɔyɛ owudifo fi mfiase. Onni nokware da efisɛ ɔnyɛ ɔnokwafo. Sɛ odi atoro a, ɛnyɛ nwonwa efisɛ ɔyɛ ɔtorofo ne atoro agya.
45 And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.
Nanso me de, esiane sɛ meka nokware nti na munnye me nni no.
46 Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me?
Mo mu hena na obetumi aka se midi bɔne bi ho fɔ? Sɛ meka nokware a adɛn nti na munnye me nni?
47 He that is of God, heareth Gods wordes: yee therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God.
Obiara a ofi Onyankopɔn mu no tie Onyankopɔn asɛm. Na mo de, esiane sɛ mumfi Onyankopɔn mu no nti na muntie nʼasɛm no.”
48 Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast a deuil?
Yudafo no bisaa Yesu se, “Sɛ yɛka se woyɛ Samariani a honhommɔne ahyɛ wo ma a na yɛboa ana?”
49 Iesus answered, I haue not a deuil, but I honour my Father, and ye haue dishonoured me.
Yesu buae se, “Minni honhommɔne. Midi mʼAgya ni na mo de, munni no ni.
50 And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth.
Memmpere nhwehwɛ anuonyam mma mʼankasa me ho. Obi wɔ hɔ a ɔhwehwɛ ma me na ɔno nso na odi ma me.
Meka nokware pefee kyerɛ mo se, obiara a odi mʼasɛm so no renwu da.” (aiōn g165)
52 Then said the Iewes to him, Now know we that thou hast a deuill. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest, If a man keepe my worde, he shall neuer taste of death. (aiōn g165)
Yudafo no nso ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Afei na yɛahu ampa sɛ wowɔ honhommɔne! Abraham wui. Adiyifo no nso wuwui. Nanso wo de, woka se, ‘Obiara a odi mʼasɛm so no renwu da.’ (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whome makest thou thy selfe?
Woyɛ ɔkɛse sen yɛn agya Abraham ana? Owui; saa ara nso na adiyifo no wuwui. Wususuw sɛ woyɛ hena?”
54 Iesus answered, If I honour my selfe, mine honour is nothing worth: it is my Father that honoureth me, whome ye say, that hee is your God.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Sɛ mʼankasa mehyɛ me ho anuonyam a, mʼanuonyam no nka hwee. MʼAgya a mo nso moka se ɔyɛ mo Nyankopɔn no, ɔno na ɔhyɛ me anuonyam.
55 Yet ye haue not knowen him: but I knowe him, and if I should say I know him not, I should be a liar like vnto you: but I knowe him, and keepe his worde.
Mo de, munnim no, nanso me de, minim no. Sɛ meka sɛ minnim no a na meyɛ ɔtorofo sɛ mo ara. Minim no na madi nʼasɛm nso so.
56 Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day, and he sawe it, and was glad.
Mo agya Abraham ani gyee sɛ obehu me ba a mɛba no. Ohui na nʼani gyei.”
57 Then sayd ye Iewes vnto him, Thou art not yet fiftie yeere olde, and hast thou seene Abraham?
Yudafo no nso bisaa no se, “Wunnii mfe aduonum koraa na woyɛɛ dɛn na wuhuu Abraham?”
58 Iesus sayd vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, before Abraham was, I am.
Yesu buae se, “Mereka nokware pefee akyerɛ mo se, ansa na wɔrebɛwo Abraham no, na mete ase.”
59 Then tooke they vp stones, to cast at him, but Iesus hid himselfe, and went out of the Temple: And hee passed through the middes of them, and so went his way.
Yudafo no tasee abo sɛ anka wɔde rebesiw no, nanso Yesu hintawee. Eyi akyi no, ofii asɔredan no mu hɔ kɔe.
