Luke 17
1 THEN he said to his disciples, It is impossible that offences should not come; but wo to him through whom they come!
Ɛda bi Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ dɛn ara a sɔhwɛ a ɛde onipa kɔ bɔne mu no bɛba, nanso onipa a ɛnam ne so bɛba no, ɔnnue.
2 It would be advantageous for him, if a milstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea, rather than offend one of these little ones.
Ɛyɛ ma saa onipa no sɛ wɔde ɛboɔ a emu yɛ duru bi bɛsɛn ne kɔn mu ato no atwene ɛpo mu sene sɛ ɔbɛto nkumaa yi mu baako suntidua ama wayɛ bɔne.
3 Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin against thee, reprove him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Enti, monhwɛ mo ho so yie. “Sɛ wo nua fom wo a, ka nʼanim na sɛ ɔnu ne ho a, fa ne bɔne kyɛ no.
4 And if seven times in the day he sin against thee, and seven times in the day return to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Sɛ nso ɔfom wo mprɛnson da koro na mpɛn dodoɔ a ɔfom wo no nyinaa, ɔde ahonu srɛ wo a, fa kyɛ no.”
5 And the disciples said unto the Lord, increase our faith.
Ɛda bi, asomafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, hyɛ yɛn gyidie mu den.”
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to that sycamore-tree, Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea; and it would obey you.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ mowɔ gyidie te sɛ onyina aba a, anka mobɛtumi aka akyerɛ akyee yi sɛ, ‘Tutu kɔgu ɛpo mu,’ na ɛbɛba mu saa.
7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, when he cometh from the field, will say immediately, Come, sit down at table?
“Mo mu hwan na ɔwɔ ɔsomfoɔ a ɔyɛ nʼafuom adwuma anaasɛ ɔhwɛ ne mmoa na ɔfiri afuom ba a, ɔbɛka akyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Wʼaduane si hɔ na kɔdidi?’
8 And will he not rather say, Prepare for me to sup, and gird thyself, and wait upon me, till I eat and drink; and after that, thou shalt eat and drink thyself?
Na mmom ɔrenka nkyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Noa aduane ma me na sɛ modidi wie a, wo nso woakɔdidi?’
9 Doth he hold it as a favour from that servant, that he did the things which were ordered him? I think not.
Sɛ ɔsomfoɔ yi yɛ nʼasɛdeɛ yi a, ne wura no bɛda no ase anaa?
10 So also ye, when ye have done all things commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: for we have but done what was our duty to do.
Saa ara nso na sɛ mo nso moyɛ mo asɛdeɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ moka sɛ, ‘Yɛyɛ asomfoɔ a ayɛyie mfata yɛn, yɛn asɛdeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ na yɛayɛ no.’”
11 And it came to pass, as he was going towards Jerusalem, he passed also through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
Ɛberɛ bi a Yesu rekɔ Yerusalem no, ɔfaa Samaria ne Galilea hyeɛ so.
12 And as he was entering a certain village, ten leprous men met him, who stood at a distance:
Ɔrebɛn akuraa bi ase no, akwatafoɔ edu bi a na wɔgyinagyina kurotia no hunuu no
13 and they lift up their voice, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!
teateaam sɛ, “Yesu, yɛn wura, hunu yɛn mmɔbɔ.”
14 And looking towards them, he said, Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that as they were on the road, they were made clean.
Yesu hunuu wɔn no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momfa mo ho nkɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfoɔ!” Ɛberɛ a akwatafoɔ no rekɔ no, wɔn ho yɛɛ wɔn den.
15 Then one of them, seeing that he was cured, returned, and with a loud voice gave glory to God,
Wɔn mu baako hunuu sɛ ne ho ayɛ no den no, ɔsanee nʼakyi de ahurisie yii Onyankopɔn ayɛ sɛ, “Animuonyam nka Onyankopɔn, wama me ho ayɛ me den!”
16 and fell prostrate at his feet giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
Ɔbɛkotoo Yesu anim daa no ase. Na saa ɔbarima yi yɛ Samariani.
17 Then Jesus spake and said, were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
Yesu bisaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ nnipa edu na wɔn ho yɛɛ wɔn den? Baakron a wɔaka no wɔ he?
18 There are none found returning to give glory to God, but this alien.
Adɛn enti na ɔmamfrani yi nko na wasane aba sɛ ɔrebɛyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ?”
19 And he said to him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath saved thee.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɔre kɔ, wo gyidie ama wo ho ayɛ wo den.”
20 And being asked by one of the Pharisees, When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Ɛda bi Farisifoɔ bi bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Ɛberɛ bɛn na Onyankopɔn Ahennie no bɛba?” Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Onyankopɔn Ahennie no nnam nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi a mobɛhunu so na ɛbɛba,
21 neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
na obi rentumi nkyerɛ mo sɛ, ‘Ɛwɔ ha anaa ɛhɔ!’ Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn Ahennie no te mo mu.”
22 Then said he to the disciples, The days will come when ye shall eagerly desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and shall not see it.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Mmerɛ bi bɛba a mo ani bɛgyina sɛ mobɛhunu Onipa Ba no wɔ mo nkyɛn, nanso morenhunu no.
23 And they will say to you, Lo here! and lo there! go not after them, nor follow them.
Sɛ nnipa ka kyerɛ mo sɛ mewɔ ha anaa baabi foforɔ a, monnni wɔn akyi.
24 For as the lightning flashing from one quarter under heaven, shineth to another quarter under heaven; so shall the Son of man also be at his day.
Sɛdeɛ anyinam pa ogya wɔ ewiem ma nnipa nyinaa hunu no, saa ara nso na Onipa Ba no ba a ɔbɛsane aba no bɛyɛ.
25 But he must first suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
Nanso, ansa na yeinom nyinaa bɛba mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ mehunu amane na me nkurɔfoɔ nso po me.
26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the coming of the Son of man.
“Sɛdeɛ Noa ɛberɛ so nnipa yɛɛ asoɔden no, saa ara nso na sɛ Onipa Ba no ba a, ɛbɛyɛ no no.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed them all.
Saa ɛberɛ no, nnipa didi nomee, warewaree kɔsii sɛ Noa kɔhyɛɛ ɛhyɛn no mu na nsuyire bɛfaa saa nnipa no nyinaa.
28 Even so, likewise, it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
“Saa ara nso na Lot berɛ so no, na ɛte. Nnipa didi nomee, dii dwa, yɛɛ mfuo, sisii adan,
29 but the day Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
kɔsii sɛ Lot firii Sodom na ogya ne sɔfe firi ɔsoro bɛhyee saa nnipa no nyinaa.
30 Just so will it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.
“Saa ara nso na da a Onipa Ba no bɛsane aba no, ɛbɛyɛ.
31 In that day, let not the man who is upon the roof, and his goods in the house, go down to carry them away: and he that is in the field, in like manner, let him not return for any things behind him.
Saa ɛda no, ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara a ɔwɔ adwuma mu, afuo mu anaa edwa so sane nʼakyi ba efie sɛ ɔrebɛsesa nʼahodeɛ.
32 Remember Lot’s wife.
Monkae asɛm a ɛtoo Lot yere.
33 Whosoever seeketh to preserve his life shall lose it; and whosoever would lose it, shall preserve it.
Obiara a ɔdɔ ne ɔkra no, ɛbɛfiri ne nsa. Na deɛ ɔbɛhwere ne ɔkra no, bɛnya.
34 I tell you, in that night two shall be in the same bed; the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed. Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed.
Ɛda no, wɔbɛfa nnipa baanu a wɔda faako no mu baako agya ɔbaako.
35 Two shall be in the field; the one shall be seized, and the other dismissed.
Saa ara nso na wɔbɛfa mmaa baanu a wɔrenoa aduane no mu baako agya ɔbaako.
36 TEXT OMITTED
Mmarima baanu a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ afuom no nso, wɔbɛfa ɔbaako agya ɔbaako.”
37 And they answering, said to him, Where, Lord? And he said, Wherever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Asuafoɔ no bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, ɛhe na wɔde wɔn bɛkɔ?” Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Baabi a efunu wɔ no, apete mpa hɔ!”
