< Luke 7 >
1 When hee had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum.
Yesu kasa kyerɛɛ nkurɔfo no wiee no, ɔkɔɔ Kapernaum.
2 And a certaine Ceturions seruant was sicke and readie to die, which was deare vnto him.
Saa bere no ara mu na Roma ɔsraani panyin bi somfo a ɔpɛ nʼasɛm yiye yare denneennen a ɔreyɛ awu.
3 And when he heard of Iesus, hee sent vnto him the Elders of the Iewes, beseeching him that he would come, and heale his seruant.
Ɔsraani panyin no tee Yesu nka no, ɔsomaa Yudafo mpanyimfo bi se wɔnkɔsrɛ no na ɔmmɛsa ne somfo no yare mma no.
4 So they came to Iesus, and besought him instantly, saying that hee was worthy that hee should doe this for him:
Woduu Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔde asɛm no too nʼanim srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔmmoa ɔsraani panyin no, efisɛ ɔyɛ onipa pa.
5 For he loueth, said they, our nation, and he hath built vs a Synagogue.
Wɔkae se, “Ɔyɛ obi a ɔdɔ yɛn man na wasi hyiadan ama yɛn.”
6 Then Iesus went with them: but when he was now not farre from the house, the Centurion sent friendes to him, saying vnto him, Lord, trouble not thy selfe: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter vnder my roofe:
Yesu ne wɔn sii mu. Wɔreyɛ adu fie hɔ no, ɔsraani panyin no somaa ne nnamfo bi sɛ, wɔnkɔka nkyerɛ Yesu se, “Awurade, nhaw wo ho, na mensɛ sɛ woba me fi.
7 Wherefore I thought not my selfe worthy to come vnto thee: but say the word, and my seruant shalbe whole:
Saa ara na memfata sɛ meba baabi a wowɔ. Kasa, na me somfo no ho bɛyɛ no den.
8 For I likewise am a man set vnder authoritie, and haue vnder mee souldiers, and I say vnto one, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and hee commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doeth it.
Meyɛ obi a mehyɛ tumi ase, nanso mewɔ asraafo bebree hyɛ mʼase. Meka kyerɛ wɔn mu bi se, ‘Kɔ’ a, ɔkɔ. Meka kyerɛ ɔfoforo se, ‘Bra’ a, ɔba. Saa ara nso na mehyɛ me somfo sɛ, ‘Yɛ eyi’ a, ɔyɛ.”
9 When Iesus heard these things, he marueiled at him, and turned him, and said to the people, that followed him, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
Yesu tee asɛm no, ne ho dwiriw no na ɔdan nʼani ka kyerɛɛ nnipakuw a wodi nʼakyi no se, “Anokwa, minhuu obiara a ɔwɔ gyidi sɛ saa ɔbarima yi wɔ Israelman nyinaa mu da.”
10 And when they that were sent, turned backe to the house, they founde the seruant that was sicke, whole.
Bere a abɔfo no san koduu fie hɔ no, wohuu sɛ ɔsomfo no ho ayɛ no den.
11 And it came to passe the day after, that he went into a citie called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
Eyi akyi no, Yesu ne nʼasuafo ne nnipakuw bi a wɔka ne ho no kɔɔ kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Nain mu.
12 Nowe when hee came neere to the gate of the citie, behold, there was a dead man caried out, who was the onely begotten sonne of his mother, which was a widowe, and much people of the citie was with her.
Woduu kurotia no, ohuu sɛ wɔrekosie obi. Na owufo no yɛ ɔbea kunafo bi a ɔwɔ kurow no mu no ba barima koro. Na adɔfo bebree di amu no akyi.
13 And when the Lord sawe her, he had compassion on her, and said vnto her, Weepe not.
Awurade Yesu huu no no, nʼasɛm yɛɛ no mmɔbɔ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Gyae su!”
14 And he went and touched the coffin (and they that bare him, stoode still) and he said, Yong man, I say vnto thee, Arise.
Yesu kosoo funnaka no mu maa wɔn a ɛyɛ wɔn de no gyinae. Ɔka kyerɛɛ owufo no se. “Aberante, mise wo sɛ, nyan!”
15 And he that was dead, sate vp, and began to speake, and he deliuered him to his mother.
Aberante no sɔre tenaa ase na ɔkasae. Afei Yesu de no maa ne na.
16 Then there came a feare on them all, and they glorified God, saying, A great Prophet is risen among vs, and God hath visited his people.
Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn yiye na woyii Onyankopɔn ayɛ kae se, “Odiyifo kɛse bi asɔre wɔ yɛn mu, na Onyankopɔn asian aba ne manfo mu.”
17 And this rumour of him went foorth throughout all Iudea, and throughout all the region round about.
Nea Yesu yɛɛ yi ho asɛm trɛw koduu Yudea ne nkurow a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa mu.
18 And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these things.
Yohane asuafo kɔbɔɔ no nea asi no nyinaa ho amanneɛ.
19 So Iohn called vnto him two certaine men of his disciples, and sent them to Iesus, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
Yohane somaa nʼasuafo no mu baanu kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Wone nea ɔreba no, anaasɛ yɛntwɛn ɔfoforo?”
20 And when the men were come vnto him, they said, Iohn Baptist hath sent vs vnto thee, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
Asuafo no duu Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Osuboni Yohane asoma yɛn wo nkyɛn se yemmebisa wo se, wone nea ɔreba no, anaasɛ yɛntwɛn ɔfoforo?”
21 And at that time, he cured many of their sickenesses, and plagues, and of euill spirites, and vnto many blinde men he gaue sight freely.
Saa bere no ara mu, Yesu saa nyarewa bebree; otuu ahonhommɔne na ɔmaa anifuraefo huu ade.
22 And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Goe your wayes and shewe Iohn, what things ye haue seene and heard: that the blinde see, the halt goe, the lepers are cleansed, the deafe heare, the dead are raised, and the poore receiue the Gospel.
Yesu buaa wɔn se. “Monkɔka nea moahu na moate yi nkyerɛ Yohane se, mema anifuraefo hu ade, mmubuafo nantew, mesa akwatafo yare, asotifo te asɛm, awufo nyan, meka asɛmpa kyerɛ honhom mu ahiafo.
23 And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me.
Nhyira ne wɔn a merento wɔn hintidua.”
24 And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, hee began to speake vnto the people, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?
Yohane asuafo no fii Yesu nkyɛn kɔe no, Yesu dii Yohane ho adanse kyerɛɛ nnipakuw no. Obisaa wɔn se, “Mokɔɔ sare so no, dɛn na muhui? Sare a mframa rehim no ana?
25 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft rayment? beholde, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and liue delicately, are in Kings courtes.
Ɛno de, dɛn na muhui? Obi a ofura sirikyi ana? Ahemfi na yehu wɔn a wodi yiye na wofura ntama pa.
26 But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet.
Anaa Onyankopɔn diyifo? Ɛno de, mereka akyerɛ mo se, nea muhuu no no sen odiyifo mpo.
27 This is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
Na saa Yohane yi na Kyerɛwsɛm no ka fa ne ho se, “‘Mɛsoma me bɔfo adi wʼanim kan. Ɔno na obesiesie kwan ama wo.’
28 For I say vnto you, there is no greater Prophet then Iohn, among them that are begotten of women: neuerthelesse, hee that is the least in the kingdome of God, is greater then he.
Meka kyerɛ mo se onipa biara nni hɔ a wɔawo no a ɔyɛ kɛse sen Yohane. Nanso nea ɔyɛ akumaa koraa wɔ Onyankopɔn ahemman mu no sen no.”
29 Then all the people that heard, and the Publicanes iustified God, being baptized with the baptisme of Iohn.
Na wɔn a wɔtee nea ɔkae no nyinaa a towgyefo mpo ka ho bi gye too mu se, Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔtreneeni; na wɔsakraa wɔn adwene maa Yohane bɔɔ wɔn asu.
30 But the Pharises and the expounders of the Law despised the counsell of God against themselues, and were not baptized of him.
Na Farisifo ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no de, wɔpoo Onyankopɔn asɛm nti, wɔamma Yohane ammɔ wɔn asu.
31 And the Lord saide, Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation? and what thing are they like vnto?
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na menka mfa nnɛmma yi ho; na dɛn ho na memfa wɔn ntoto?
32 They are like vnto litle children sitting in the market place, and crying one to another, and saying, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced: we haue mourned to you, and ye haue not wept.
Wɔte sɛ mmofra bi a wɔregoru wɔ agodibea na wɔn mu bi reka akyerɛ afoforo se, “‘Yɛhyɛn mmɛn maa mo, nanso moansaw; yetwaa agyaadwo, nanso moansu.’
33 For Iohn Baptist came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine: and ye say, He hath the deuil.
Osuboni Yohane aba a onnidi na ɔnnom nsa nso muse, ‘Ɔwɔ honhommɔne.’
34 The Sonne of man is come, and eateth and drinketh: and ye say, Beholde, a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of Publicanes and sinners:
Onipa Ba no nso aba a odidi na ɔnom a muse, ‘Monhwɛ odidifo ne ɔkɔwensani a ɔyɛ towgyefo ne “nnebɔneyɛfo” adamfo!’
35 But wisdome is iustified of all her children.
Nanso wɔn a wodi Onyankopɔn akyi nokware mu no de, wɔn bra di adanse sɛ, nʼakwan nyinaa ye.”
36 And one of the Pharises desired him that hee would eate with him: and hee went into the Pharises house, and sate downe at table.
Farisini bi frɛɛ Yesu adidi ma ɔpenee so kɔe.
37 And beholde, a woman in the citie, which was a sinner, when she knewe that Iesus sate at table in the Pharises house, shee brought a boxe of oyntment.
Ɔte hɔ redidi no, ɔbea bi a obu bra bɔne wɔ kurow no mu tee ne nka no, ɔde aduhuam bi a ɛsom bo tumpan ma kɔɔ hɔ.
38 And shee stoode at his feete behinde him weeping, and began to wash his feete with teares, and did wipe them with the heares of her head, and kissed his feete, and anoynted them with the oyntment.
Ɔkotow Yesu nan ase sui, maa ne nusu no fɔw Yesu nan ase. Afei ɔde ne tinwi pepaa nisu no, soo ne nan de aduhuam no sraa ho.
39 Nowe when the Pharise which bade him, saw it, he spake within himselfe, saying, If this man were a Prophet, hee woulde surely haue knowen who, and what maner of woman this is which toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
Farisini a ɔfrɛɛ Yesu adidi no huu nea ɔbea no yɛe no, ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim se, “Sɛ saa onipa yi yɛ odiyifo ampa ara a, anka obehu sɛ saa ɔbea yi bu ɔbra bɔne.”
40 And Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Simon, I haue somewhat to say vnto thee. And he said, Master, say on.
Yesu huu Farisini no adwene ma ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Simon, mewɔ asɛm bi ka kyerɛ wo.” Simon nso ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, ka ɛ.”
41 There was a certaine lender which had two detters: the one ought fiue hundreth pence, and the other fiftie:
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Osikani bi bɔɔ nnipa baanu bi bosea. Ɔmaa ɔbaako denare ahannum; na ɔbaako no nso ɔmaa no denare aduonum.
42 When they had nothing to pay, he forgaue them both: Which of them therefore, tell mee, will loue him most?
Wɔn mu biara antumi antua ne ka a ɔde no no nti, ɔde kyɛɛ wɔn. Wɔn mu hena na wugye di sɛ ɔbɛpɛ ɔdefo no asɛm yiye?”
43 Simon answered, and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgaue most. And he said vnto him, Thou hast truely iudged.
Simon buae se, “Migye di sɛ nea ɔde ne ka kɛse kyɛɛ no no.” Yesu kae se, “Woabua no yiye.”
44 Then he turned to the woman, and said vnto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entred into thine house, and thou gauest mee no water to my feete: but she hath washed my feete with teares, and wiped them with the heares of her head.
Afei Yesu dan nʼani kyerɛɛ ɔbea no bisaa Simon se, “Woahu saa ɔbea yi? Mebaa wo fi, woamma me nsu anhohoro mʼanan ase; nanso saa ɔbea yi de ne nisu ahohoro mʼanan ase, asan de ne tinwi apepa.
45 Thou gauest me no kisse: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kisse my feete.
Mebae yi, woanyɛ me atuu amfa amma me akwaaba; nanso efi bere a ɔbea yi bɛtoo me wɔ ha yi, onnyaee me nan mu so.
46 Mine head with oyle thou didest not anoint: but she hath anoynted my feete with oyntment.
Woamfa ngo amfɔw me tirim; nanso ɔbea yi de aduhuam a ɛsom bo asra mʼanan ase.
47 Wherefore I say vnto thee, many sinnes are forgiuen her: for she loued much. To whom a litle is forgiuen, he doeth loue a litle.
Eyi nti mereka akyerɛ wo se, nea ɔbea yi ayɛ nti, wɔde ne bɔne a ɛdɔɔso no akyɛ no, efisɛ wayi ɔdɔ kɛse bi adi akyerɛ. Na nea wɔde ne bɔne a esua akyɛ no no, ne dɔ nso sua.”
48 And he saide vnto her, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
Afei Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no se, “Wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo.”
49 And they that sate at table with him, began to say within themselues, Who is this that euen forgiueth sinnes?
Wɔn a ɔne wɔn te adidii no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Hena ne saa onipa yi a otumi de bɔne kyɛ?”
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saued thee: goe in peace.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no se, “Wo gyidi agye wo nkwa. Fa asomdwoe kɔ.”
