Mark 4
1 And hee began againe to teache by the sea side, and there gathered vnto him a great multitude, so that hee entred into a shippe, and sate in the sea, and all the people was by the sea side on the land.
Bere a ogu so rekyerɛkyerɛ no, nnipadɔm san betwaa ne ho hyiaa wɔ mpoano hɔ. Eyi nti ɔkɔtenaa ɔkorow mu toaa ne kyerɛkyerɛ no so.
2 And he taught them many things in parables, and said vnto them in his doctrine,
Na sɛnea ɔyɛ daa no, ɔnam mmebu so kyerɛɛ wɔn nneɛma bebree se:
3 Hearken: Beholde, there went out a sower to sowe.
“Muntie! Okuafo bi kɔɔ nʼafum koguu aba. Ogu so regu aba no,
4 And it came to passe as he sowed, that some fell by the way side, and the foules of the heauen came, and deuoured it vp.
Ogu so regu aba no, aba no bi guu kwankyɛn maa nnomaa bɛsosɔw ne nyinaa dii.
5 And some fell on stonie grounde, where it had not much earth, and by and by sprang vp, because it had not depth of earth.
Ebi nso koguu ɔbotan a dɔte a ɛwɔ so no nnɔɔso so.
6 But assoone as ye Sunne was vp, it was burnt vp, and because it had not roote, it withered away.
Ankyɛ na efifii, nanso esiane sɛ dɔte a ɛwɔ ɔbotan no so no nnɔɔso no nti owia bɔɔ so, na ne nyinaa hyewee.
7 And some fell among the thornes, and the thornes grewe vp, and choked it, so that it gaue no fruite.
Aba no bi nso guu nsɔe mu maa nsɔe no kyekyeree no nti antumi ansow aba.
8 Some againe fell in good grounde, and did yeelde fruite that sprong vp, and grewe, and it brought foorth, some thirtie folde, some sixtie folde, and some an hundreth folde.
Aba no bi nso guu asase pa mu maa bi nyin sow mmɔho aduasa, ebi aduosia, na afoforo nso mmɔho ɔha.”
9 Then he said vnto them, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
Na Yesu kae se, “Nea ɔwɔ aso no ntie!”
10 And whe he was alone, they that were about him with the twelue, asked him of ye parable.
Akyiri no a ɛkaa ɔne dumien no ne asuafo afoforo bi no, wobisaa no se, “Asɛm a wokae no ase ne dɛn?”
11 And he saide vnto them, To you it is giuen to knowe the mysterie of the kingdome of God: but vnto them that are without, all thinges bee done in parables,
Obuaa wɔn se, “Mo de, wɔada Onyankopɔn Ahenni ho ahintasɛm adi akyerɛ mo. Nanso afoforo de, wɔka no abebu mu na ɛkyerɛ wɔn.
12 That they seeing, may see, and not discerne: and they hearing, may heare, and not vnderstand, least at any time they should turne, and their sinnes should be forgiuen them.
Esiane saa nti, “‘Wohu na wɔte, nanso wɔrente nea wɔte no ase, na wɔrennan mma Onyankopɔn nkyɛn, na wɔremfa wɔn bɔne nso nkyɛ wɔn.’
13 Againe he said vnto them, Perceiue ye not this parable? howe then should ye vnderstand all other parables?
“Na sɛ moante saa bɛ yi ase a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na moate mmɛ ahorow a merebebu no ase?
14 The sower soweth the worde.
Okuafo no asɛm no.
15 And these are they that receiue the seede by the wayes side, in whome the worde is sowen: but when they haue heard it, Satan commeth immediatly, and taketh away the worde that was sowen in their heartes.
Aba a eguu kwankyɛn no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm, nanso sɛ wɔte asɛm no a ntɛm ara na ɔbonsam ba wɔn nkyɛn ma wɔn werɛ fi nea wɔate no nyinaa.
16 And likewise they that receiue the seede in stony ground, are they, which whe they haue heard the word, straightwayes receiue it with gladnesse.
Aba a eguu ɔbotan so no gyina hɔ ma nnipa a wɔde anigye tie asɛm no.
17 Yet haue they no roote in themselues, and endure but a time: for when trouble and persecution ariseth for the worde, immediatly they be offended.
Nanso wɔte sɛ aba a afifi foforo a ne ntin nkɔ fam. Mfiase no wɔkɔ so fɛfɛɛfɛ, nanso sɛ ɛba sɛ asɛm no nti ɔtaa anaa amanehunu bi to wɔn pɛ a na wɔapa abaw.
18 Also they that receiue the seede among the thornes, are such as heare the word:
Aba a eguu nsɔe mu no nso gyina hɔ ma nnipa a wɔte asɛmpa no,
19 But the cares of this world, and the deceitfulnes of riches, and the lustes of other things enter in, and choke the word, and it is vnfruitfull. (aiōn g165)
nanso ɛnkyɛ koraa na wiase yi mu afɛfɛde ne ahonyade ne ɔbra yi mu dadwen, nnaadaa ne nneɛma bi ho akɔnnɔ abɛhyɛ wɔn koma mu. Eyi nti asɛm no ntumi nsow aba biara. (aiōn g165)
20 But they that haue receiued seede in good ground, are they that heare the worde, and receiue it, and bring foorth fruite: one corne thirtie, another sixtie, and some an hundreth.
Nnipa no bi te sɛ aba a wogu wɔ asase pa mu, wɔte asɛm no, wogye, na wɔsow aba— bi mmɔho aduasa, bi nso sow aduosia, na afoforo nso sow ɔha.”
21 Also he saide vnto them, Commeth the candle in, to be put vnder a bushell, or vnder the bed, and not to be put on a candlesticke?
Afei Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Moahu obi a ɔsɔ kanea na ɔde hyɛ mpa ase, anaasɛ ɔde ahina butuw so? Mmom mommfa nsi ne dua so ana?
22 For there is nothing hid, that shall not be opened: neither is there a secret, but that it shall come to light.
Wɔbɛda nea ahintaw biara no adi, na nea wɔakata so biara no wɔde bepue gua.
23 If any man haue eares to heare, let him heare.
Nea ɔwɔ aso a obetie no, ma ontie!
24 And he said vnto them, Take heede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured vnto you: and vnto you that heare, shall more be giuen.
“Momfa asɛm a mote no nyɛ adwuma. Wɔde mo susukuruwa besusuw ama mo, na ama aboro so mpo.
25 For vnto him that hath, shall it be giuen, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away, euen that he hath.
Nea ɔwɔ no, wɔbɛma no bi aka ho; nea onni no, kakraa bi a ɔwɔ no mpo, wobegye afi ne nsam.”
26 Also he said, So is the kingdome of God, as if a man should cast seede in the ground,
Ɔkaa bio se, “Sɛnea Onyankopɔn Ahenni no te ni: Okuafo bi gu aba wɔ asase bi so.
27 And shoulde sleepe, and rise vp night and day, and the seede should spring and growe vp, he not knowing howe.
Awia ne anadwo, sɛ ɔda o, sɛ onyan o, aba no fifi a onnim sɛnea ɛyɛɛ a enyinii.
28 For the earth bringeth foorth fruite of it selfe, first the blade, then the eares, after that full corne in the eares.
Asase no ankasa bɔ nʼaduan, dua no na edi kan, afei etu mɛpɛsɛe na abɔ ama aba no anyin.
29 And assoone as the fruite sheweth it selfe, anon hee putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come.
Sɛ aba no nyin wie a, okuafo no fa ne dade kotwa, efisɛ otwa bere adu.”
30 He saide moreouer, Whereunto shall wee liken the kingdome of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
Ɔsan kae se, “Dɛn ho na yɛde Ɔsoro Ahenni no bɛto, anaa mmebusɛm bɛn na yɛde bɛkyerɛkyerɛ mu?
31 It is like a graine of mustarde seede, which when it is sowen in the earth, is the least of all seedes that be in the earth:
Ɛte sɛ onyaa aba, a ɛyɛ ketewaa wɔ aba a wodua nyinaa mu.
32 But after that it is sowen, it groweth vp, and is greatest of all herbes, and beareth great branches, so that the foules of heauen may builde vnder the shadow of it.
Na sɛ wodua a enyin yɛ kɛse sen nnua a aka no nyinaa, eyiyi mman akɛse ma wim nnomaa besisi ne nwini mu.”
33 And with many such parables he preached the word vnto them, as they were able to heare it.
Mmebu a ɛtete sɛ eyinom na Yesu de kaa asɛm no kyerɛɛ wɔn, sɛnea wobetumi ate ase.
34 And without parables spake hee nothing vnto them: but he expounded all thinges to his disciples apart.
Ɔnam mmebu so na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ wɔn a wobetiee no no nyinaa, na sɛ ɛka ɔne nʼasuafo no nko a, ɔkyerɛ wɔn ne nyinaa ase.
35 Nowe the same day when euen was come, he saide vnto them, Let vs passe ouer vnto the other side.
Eduu anwummere no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Momma yentwa nkɔ asuogya nohɔ.”
36 And they left the multitude, and tooke him as he was in the shippe, and there were also with him other little shippes.
Ɔkaa saa no, wogyaw nnipadɔm no hɔ na ɔne wɔn kɔe a akorow afoforo di wɔn akyi.
37 And there arose a great storme of winde, and the waues dashed into the shippe, so that it was now full.
Prɛko pɛ, ahum kɛse bi tu maa asorɔkye bu bɛkataa ɔkorow no so ma ɛyɛɛ sɛ ɛremem.
38 And he was in the sterne asleepe on a pillow: and they awoke him, and saide to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
Saa bere no, na Yesu wɔ ɔkorow no to de ne ti ato sumii so ada. Asuafo no de ahopopo ne nteɛteɛ mu konyan no kae se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yɛreyɛ amem yi ɛmfa wo ho?”
39 And hee rose vp, and rebuked the winde, and saide vnto the sea, Peace, and be still. So the winde ceased, and it was a great calme.
Ɔsɔre teɛteɛɛ mframa no ka kyerɛɛ po no se, “Yɛ komm!” Mframa no gyaee, na po no yɛɛ komm!
40 Then he saide vnto them, Why are ye so fearefull? how is it that ye haue no faith?
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn na moyɛ ahufo sɛɛ? Moda so nni gyidi ara?”
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who is this, that both the winde and sea obey him?
Na wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn yiye, bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Onipa bɛn ni a mframa ne po mpo tie no yi?”
