John 12
1 JESUS then before the days of the passover came to Bethany, where the deceased Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead.
Aka nna nsia na Twam Afahyɛ no aduru no, Yesu kɔɔ Betania, kuro a na Lasaro a Yesu nyanee no firi awufoɔ mu no te mu no mu.
2 Therefore they made him a supper there; and Martha waited: but Lazarus was one of those who sat at table with him.
Wɔtoo Yesu ɛpono. Marta na ɔsomee wɔ saa apontoɔ yi ase. Lasaro tenaa Yesu nkyɛn pɛɛ wɔ ɛpono no ho.
3 Then Mary taking a pound of unadulterated balm of nard, very valuable, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Wɔredidi no, Maria faa ngohwam bi a ne boɔ yɛ den bɛhwie guu Yesu nan ase de ne tirinwi pepaeɛ. Ngo no hwa gyee efie hɔ nyinaa.
4 Then said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was preparing to betray him,
Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ asuafoɔ no mu baako a akyire no ɔbɛyi Yesu ama no ani annye deɛ ɔbaa yi yɛeɛ no ho,
5 Wherefore was not this aromatic ointment sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?
enti ɔkaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wantɔn saa ngohwam yi na yɛamfa sika no amma ahiafoɔ?”
6 Now he said this, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and kept the purse, and carried the money put therein.
Ɛnyɛ sɛ na ɔdwene ahiafoɔ ho enti na ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, na mmom, na ɔyɛ ɔkorɔmfoɔ na ɛsiane sɛ na ɔhwɛ asuafoɔ no sika so enti, na ɔwiawia bi.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: for the day of my burial hath she reserved this.
Yesu kaa sɛ, “Monnyaa ɔbaa yi haw! Deɛ ɔbaa yi ayɛ yi, ɔde resiesie me ama me wuo.
8 For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.
Mo ne ahiafoɔ na ɛwɔ hɔ ɛberɛ biara, na me deɛ, me ne mo rentena hɔ daa.”
9 Then the whole multitude of the Jews knew that he was there: and they came not for the sake of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
Ɛberɛ a Yudafoɔ no tee sɛ Yesu wɔ Betania no, wɔn mu pii kɔɔ hɔ. Ɛnyɛ Yesu nko enti na wɔkɔɔ hɔ, na mmom, wɔkɔɔ hɔ sɛ wɔrekɔhwɛ Lasaro a Yesu nyanee no firii awufoɔ mu no nso.
10 Then the chief priests consulted how they might kill Lazarus also;
Afei, asɔfoɔ mpanin no bɔɔ pɔ sɛ wɔbɛkum Lasaro nso,
11 because on his account many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsiane Lasaro wusɔreɛ no enti, na nnipa bebree retwe wɔn ho afiri Yudafoɔ mpanin no ho abɛdi Yesu akyi.
12 On the morrow a great multitude who came to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, nnipadɔm a wɔaba Twam Afahyɛ no tee sɛ Yesu reba Yerusalem no,
13 took branches of palm, and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna! blessed is the king of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord.
wɔbubuu ɛberɛ de kɔhyiaa no ɛkwan de ahurisie teateaam sɛ, “Hosiana!” “Nhyira nka deɛ ɔreba wɔ Awurade din mu no!” “Nhyira nka Israelhene!”
14 Then Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written,
Yesu rekɔ no, na ɔte afunumu ba bi so sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm hyɛɛ ho nkɔm sɛ,
15 “Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on the foal of an ass.”
“Nsuro, Ɔbabaa Sion! Hwɛ sɛ wo ɔhene te afunumu ba so reba wo nkyɛn.”
16 These things indeed knew not his disciples at first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
Ahyɛaseɛ no, asuafoɔ no ante yeinom nyinaa ase kɔsii sɛ wɔhyɛɛ Yesu animuonyam no ansa na wɔrekae sɛ, Atwerɛsɛm no aka saa asɛm yi nyinaa afa ne ho dada, na ɛno ara ne deɛ wɔayɛ no.
17 Then the multitude that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bore their testimony.
Nnipa a na wɔwɔ hɔ a wɔhunu sɛ Yesu nyanee Lasaro firii awufoɔ mu no kaa asɛm a ɛsii no kyerɛɛ afoforɔ.
18 Therefore also the multitude met him, because they had heard that he had done this miracle.
Yei enti na nnipa bebree kɔeɛ sɛ wɔrekɔhyia Yesu ɛkwan no, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔate sɛ wayɛ anwanwadeɛ.
19 Then said the Pharisees among themselves, Do ye not perceive that ye gain no advantage? behold, the world is gone after him.
Farisifoɔ no hunuu deɛ ɛrekɔ so no, wɔkaa sɛ, “Anyɛ yie! Monhwɛ sɛ nnipa no nyinaa atu adi nʼakyi!”
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast:
Afahyɛberɛ no mu no, Helafoɔ bi nso kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔrekɔsom.
21 these then came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida, of Galilee, and they asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.
Wɔkɔɔ Filipo a ɔfiri Betsaida no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛhunu Yesu.”
22 Philip comes and speaks to Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
Filipo kɔbɔɔ Andrea amaneɛ maa wɔn baanu kɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu.
23 Then Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛberɛ no aso sɛ wɔbɛhyɛ Onipa Ba no animuonyam.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat falling on the earth undergo a deathlike change, it abideth single: but if it thus die, it beareth abundant produce.
Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, sɛ wɔamfa burofua anhyɛ fam amma amporɔ na amfifiri a, ɛda so yɛ burofua no ara, nanso sɛ ɛporɔ na ɛfifiri a, ɛso aba pii.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Obiara a ɔdɔ ne kra no bɛhwere ne nkwa, na deɛ ɔnnɔ ne kra no ɔbɛnya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. (aiōnios g166)
26 If a man will be my servant, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my servant be: and if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsom me no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdi mʼakyi, na baabiara a mewɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ mʼasomfoɔ nso wɔ hɔ bi.”
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
Yesu kaa sɛ, “Afei deɛ, me kra ho yera no na asɛm bɛn na menka? Menka sɛ, ‘Agya, gye me firi saa amanehunu yi mu anaa?’ Nanso, yei enti na wosomaa me baa ewiase sɛ memmɛhunu amane.
28 Father, glorify thy name! Then came a voice from heaven, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
Agya, hyɛ wo din animuonyam!” Ɔkasa wieeɛ no, nne bi firi ɔsoro kaa sɛ, “Mahyɛ no animuonyam dada na mɛsane mahyɛ no bio.”
29 The multitude that stood by, and heard it, said that it was thunder: others said, An angel hath spoken to him.
Nnipakuo a na wɔwɔ hɔ no tee nne no, wɔkaa sɛ aprannaa na ɛrebobɔ mu. Ebinom nso kaa sɛ, ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ no.
30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not for my sake, but for your’s.
Nanso, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo enti na saa nne yi kasaeɛ na ɛnyɛ me enti.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the ruler of this world be ejected out of it.
Afei, ɛberɛ aduru sɛ wɔbu ewiase atɛn na wɔtu ɔbonsam a ɔdi ewiase so no gu.
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
Sɛ wɔnya ma me so firi asase mu a, mɛtwe nnipa nyinaa aba me nkyɛn.”
33 And this he said, signifying by what death he should die.
Ɔkaa yei de kyerɛɛ owuo ko a ɔbɛwu no.
34 Then the multitude answered him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, That the Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
Nnipa no kaa sɛ, “Atwerɛsɛm no di adanseɛ sɛ, Agyenkwa no renwu da. Adɛn enti na wɔka kyerɛ yɛn sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma Onipa Ba no so? Hwan ne saa Onipa Ba no?” (aiōn g165)
35 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest the darkness overtake you: he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not even whither he is going.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Me hann no bɛhyerɛn ama mo mmerɛ tiawa bi mu. Ɛno enti, monnante mu ɛberɛ a mowɔ saa hann no mu yi nkɔ baabiara a mopɛ sɛ mokɔ, ansa na esum aduru; anyɛ saa a morenhunu kwan.
36 While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Jesus, and going away, concealed himself from them.
Ɛberɛ a mowɔ hann mu yi, monnye hann no nni na moayɛ hann no mma.” Yesu kaa nsɛm yi wieeɛ no, ɔfirii hɔ de ne ho kɔhintaeɛ.
37 Now, though he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not on him:
Ɛwom sɛ na Yesu ayɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ ama Yudafoɔ no ahunu deɛ, nanso na wɔnnye no nni ara.
38 that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, “Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
Yei ne Odiyifoɔ Yesaia asɛm a ɔkaa sɛ, “Awurade, hwan na wagye yɛn asɛnka adi? Na hwan nso na ɔbɛgye wʼanwanwadwuma no adi sɛ adansedie?”
39 For this reason they could not believe, because Isaiah had said again;
Yudafoɔ no annye anni ɛfiri sɛ, na Odiyifoɔ Yesaia asane aka sɛ,
40 “He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their hearts; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with the heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.”
“Onyankopɔn afira wɔn ani, na wapirim wɔn akoma, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔrentumi nnane mma me nkyɛn na masa wɔn yadeɛ.”
41 These things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
Yesaia kaa yei faa Yesu animuonyam a daakye ɔbɛnya a Onyankopɔn yi kyerɛɛ no no ho.
42 However, notwithstanding, many even of the rulers believed on him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not make open profession, lest they should be put out of the synagogues:
Mpo, na Yudafoɔ mpanin no mu pii gye Yesu di, nanso na wɔsuro sɛ, sɛ Farisifoɔ no hunu wɔn a, wɔremma wɔmma asɔredan no mu bio.
43 for they loved honour from men, more than honour from God.
Na wɔpɛ sɛ nnipa bɛkamfo wɔn sene sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛhyɛ wɔn animuonyam.
44 Then Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
Yesu teaam sɛ, “Obiara a ɔgye me di no, ɛnyɛ me nko na ɔgye me di, na ɔgye deɛ ɔsomaa me no nso di.
45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
Na deɛ ɔhunu me no hunu deɛ ɔsomaa me no nso.
46 I am come a light into the world, that every one who believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
Maba ewiase sɛ hann, na obiara a ɔgye me di no ankɔ so antena sum mu.
47 And if any man, hearing my words, believeth not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
“Obiara a ɔte mʼasɛm na ɔnni so no, meremmu no atɛn. Ɛfiri sɛ, mamma sɛ merebɛbu nnipa atɛn, na mmom, mebaeɛ sɛ merebɛgye wɔn nkwa.
48 He that sets me at nought, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: even the word which I have spoken, the same shall judge him at the last day.
Obiara a ɔpo me na ɔnnye mʼasɛm nni no, ɔtemmufoɔ bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛbu no atɛn. Me nsɛm a maka akyerɛ mo no na Atemmuo da no ɛbɛbu mo atɛn.
49 Because I have not spoken of myself; but the Farther who has sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Nsɛm a maka no nyinaa, ɛnyɛ mʼankasa mʼadwene na mede ka kyerɛɛ mo, na mmom ɛyɛ deɛ Agya no ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ menka nkyerɛ mo no.
50 And I know that his commandment is life eternal: therefore the things which I speak to you, just as the Father spake to me, so speak I. (aiōnios g166)
Menim sɛ asɛm biara a Agya no ahyɛ me sɛ menka no de nnipa kɔ nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ mu; enti asɛm a ɔbɛka akyerɛ me sɛ menka biara no, ɛno na meka!” (aiōnios g166)
