Luke 6
1 AND it came to pass on the sabbath after the second day of the passover, that he was passing through the cornfields; and the disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them out in their hands.
Homeda bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no nam aburoofuo bi mu no, asuafoɔ no pempan aburoo no bi hwane, weeɛ.
2 Then said some of the Pharisees unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful on the sabbath-day?
Farisifoɔ bi bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn na moyɛ adeɛ a ɛtia Homeda ho mmara a wɔahyɛ no?”
3 And Jesus answering said to them; Have ye never read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him?
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Monkenkanee deɛ Ɔhene Dawid yɛɛ ɛberɛ a ɛkɔm dee ɔne wɔn a wɔka ne ho no wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no mu anaa?
4 how he entered into the house of God, and took the loaves of shew-bread, and did eat, and gave also to those who were with him; which it was not lawful for any to eat, but the priests alone?
Ɔkɔɔ asɔredan mu kɔfaa burodo a wɔde abɔ afɔdeɛ ama Onyankopɔn a mmara mma ho kwan sɛ obi di, gye asɔfoɔ nko ara no, de bi maa wɔn a wɔka ne ho no nso diiɛ.”
5 And he said, The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath-day.
Yesu kaa sɛ, “Onipa Ba no ne Homeda no wura.”
6 And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and a man was there, and his right hand was shrunk.
Homeda foforɔ bi nso a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan mu no, na ɔbarima bi a ne nsa nifa awu nso wɔ hɔ bi.
7 Then the scribes and Pharisees watched him, if he would heal on the sabbath-day, that they might find an accusation against him.
Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ ne Farisifoɔ no hwɛɛ Yesu dinn sɛ ɔbɛsa onipa yi yadeɛ Homeda yi nso anaa. Deɛ na wɔrehwehwɛ ara ne sɛ ɔbɛbu mmara no so, asa yadeɛ na wɔn nsa aka no akyere no.
8 Now he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise, and stand in the midst. And he arose, and stood up.
Yesu hunuu wɔn adwene, nanso ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔbarima no sɛ, “Sɔre bɛgyina animu ha, na obiara nhunu wo.” Ɔbarima no sɔre bɛgyinaa hɔ.
9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you a question; Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath-day, or to do evil? to preserve life or to destroy it?
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Merebisa mo. Ɛdeɛn na mmara no ma ho ɛkwan sɛ yɛnyɛ no Homeda; sɛ yɛbɛyɛ papa anaa yɛbɛyɛ bɔne, sɛ yɛbɛgye obi nkwa anaasɛ yɛbɛma wawu?”
10 And looking round upon them all, he said to the man, Stretch out thine hand; and he did so: and his hand was restored sound as the other.
Yesu hwɛɛ wɔn nyinaa hyiaeɛ na ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔbarima no sɛ, “Tene wo nsa.” Na ɔtenee ne nsa no, emu yɛɛ den sɛ baako no.
11 But they were filled with madness, and talked earnestly to each other what they could do to Jesus.
Deɛ Yesu yɛeɛ yi hyɛɛ nnipa no abufuo yie ma wɔfirii aseɛ bɔɔ ne ho pɔ.
12 Now it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray and continued all night in an oratory of God.
Ɛda bi a Yesu kɔɔ bepɔ bi so sɛ ɔrekɔbɔ mpaeɛ. Ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ anadwo mu no nyinaa
13 And when it was day, he called his disciples to him; and elected from them twelve, whom he named Apostles:
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, ɔfrɛɛ nʼakyidifoɔ no nyinaa baa ne nkyɛn na ɔyii wɔn mu dumienu. Saa dumienu yi na ɔfrɛɛ wɔn asomafoɔ.
14 Simon, whom he also called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
Simon, a ɔtoo ne din Petro; Andrea, Simon nua; Yakobo, Yohane, Filipo, Bartolomeo,
15 Matthew and Thomas, James son of Alpheus, and Simon called the Zealous,
Mateo, Toma, Yakobo a ɔyɛ Alfeo ba; Simon, a wɔfrɛ no Selote;
16 Jude the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor.
Yuda, a ɔyɛ Yakobo ba; ne Yuda Iskariot a ɔyii Yesu maeɛ no.
17 And coming down with them, he stood on a level spot: and the crowd of his disciples, and a vast multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
Yesu firii bepɔ no so siane baa fam maa nʼakyidifoɔ bebree ne nnipakuo a wɔfiri Yudea, Yerusalem ne mpoano nkuro Tiro ne Sidon mu no bɛtwaa ne ho hyiaeɛ.
18 and they who were disturbed with unclean spirits: and they were cured.
Wɔbaeɛ sɛ wɔrebɛtie no ama wasa wɔn nyarewa nso. Ɔtuu ahonhommɔne bebree.
19 And all the multitude strove to touch him, for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
Obiara bɔɔ mmɔden sɛ ɔde ne nsa bɛka Yesu. Ayarefoɔ a wɔde wɔn nsa kaa Yesu no nyinaa ho tɔɔ wɔn.
20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
Afei, ɔdanee nʼani ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Nhyira ne mo a moyɛ ahiafoɔ, na mo na Onyankopɔn Ahennie no yɛ mo dea!
21 Blessed are ye who hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh.
Nhyira ne mo a ɛkɔm de mo, na mo na wɔbɛma mo amee. Nhyira ne mo a mo werɛ ahoɔ, na mo na wɔbɛma mo ani agye.
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from them, and shall revile you, and shall cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake.
Nhyira ne mo a Onipa Ba no din enti, nnipa tan mo, na wɔpa mo na wɔya mo, na wɔgu mo din ho fi.
23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for, lo! your reward is great in heaven: for after the same manner did your fathers to the prophets.
“Sɛ ɛba saa a, momma mo ani nnye na monni ahurisie! Ɛfiri sɛ, mo akatua so wɔ ɔsoro. Na saa ara nso na wɔn agyanom yɛɛ tete adiyifoɔ no.
24 But wo unto you who are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
“Na mo adefoɔ deɛ, monnue ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ ɛma mo ani gye no, mo nsa aka dada; yei enti, monni kyɛfa biara bio.
25 Wo unto you who are full! for ye shall hunger. Wo unto you who laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
Monnue, mo a moamee seesei, na mo na ɛkɔm bɛde mo! Monnue, mo a moresere seesei, na mo na mobɛsi apinie, asu.
26 Wo unto you, when men shall speak well of you! for just so did their fathers of the false prophets.
Monnue, mo a nnipa kamfo mo, ɛfiri sɛ, saa ara na wɔn nananom kamfoo atorɔ adiyifoɔ no.”
27 But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you;
“Mereka akyerɛ mo a moretie me no nyinaa sɛ, monnɔ mo atamfoɔ; monyɛ wɔn a wɔtan mo no papa.
28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who wantonly insult you.
Monhyira wɔn a wɔdome mo; mommɔ mpaeɛ mma wɔn a wɔtan mo.
29 To him that smiteth thee on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who would take from thee thy cloak, withhold not thy coat also.
Sɛ obi bɔ wʼasom a, dane baako a aka no ma no. Sɛ obi pa wo ntoma a, worɔ wʼatadeɛ ka ho.
30 And give to every one that asketh thee; and from him who would take thy goods, demand them not again.
Sɛ obi srɛ wo biribi a, fa ma no. Obi gye wʼadeɛ a, mmisa no bio.
31 And as ye would that men should do unto you, do ye also to them in like manner.
Na deɛ mopɛ sɛ nnipa nyɛ mo no, mo nso monyɛ wɔn saa ara.
32 And if ye love them that love you, what thanks are due to you? for even sinners love those who love them.
“Na sɛ modɔ wɔn a wɔdɔ mo no nko ara a, mfasoɔ bɛn na mobɛnya? ‘Nnebɔneyɛfoɔ’ nso dɔ wɔn a wɔdɔ wɔn no.
33 And if ye do good to them who do good to you, what thanks have ye? do not even sinners the same thing?
Na sɛ moyɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ mo papa no nko ara yie a, mfasoɔ bɛn na mobɛnya? Nnebɔneyɛfoɔ mpo yɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ wɔn papa no nso yie.
34 And if ye lend to those, from whom ye hope to receive back again, what thanks are due to you? for sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive an equivalent.
Na sɛ mobɔ wɔn a mosusu sɛ wɔbɛtumi atua mo nko ara bosea a, papa bɛn na moayɛ? Nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nso bobɔ bobɔ wɔn ho wɔn ho bosea, a wɔhwɛ sɛ wɔn nsa bɛka wɔn sika bio.
35 But love your enemies, and do good and lend, hoping for nothing in return: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Most High; for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the wicked.
Monnɔ mo atamfoɔ. Monyɛ wɔn papa. Momma wɔn deɛ ɛhia wɔn a, mo ani nni akyire bio. Na sɛ moyɛ yeinom a, mo akatua bɛyɛ kɛse wɔ ɔsoro na moayɛ Onyankopɔn mma; ɛfiri sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ adɔeɛ, na ɔdom bonniayɛfoɔ nso.
36 Be ye therefore compassionate, as also your Father is compassionate.
Monyɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ sɛdeɛ mo Agya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no yɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ no.
37 And judge not, that ye be not judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned:
“Mommmu ntɛn, na wɔammu mo ntɛn; mommmu fɔ, na wɔammu mo fɔ; momfa nkyɛ, na wɔde akyɛ mo.
38 give, and there shall be given unto you; good measure pressed down, and shook, and running over, shall they give into your lap. For with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured back to you again.
Sɛ moma a, wɔbɛhyɛ mo ananmu. Deɛ mode ma no, wɔde susudua a wɔahyɛ no ma, amia so ama abu so na ɛbɛsusu ama mo. Susudua a mode bɛsusu ama no, ɛno ara na wɔde bɛsusu ama mo.”
39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? will they not both fall into the pit?
Yesu nam abɛbuo so kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn bio sɛ, “Onifirani bɛtumi akyerɛ onifirani ɛkwan ama ayɛ yie anaa? Sɛ ɛba saa a, wɔn baanu nyinaa bɛtɔ amena mu.
40 The disciple is not above his teacher; but every one who is completely taught shall be as his master.
Osuani nsene ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ. Nanso, sɛ ɔyere ne ho sua deɛ wɔrekyerɛ no no yie a ɔbɛsɛ ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ.
41 But why beholdest thou the mote which is in thy brother’s eye, but observest not the beam which is in thine own eye?
“Adɛn enti na woma aboseaa a ɛgu wo nua ani so ha wo, ɛberɛ a ɛboɔ da wo deɛ so?
42 Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, permit me to take off the mote which is on thine eye, not seeing thyself the beam in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite! cast out the beam which is in thine eye, and then shalt thou see distinctly to take off the mote which is in thy brother’s eye.
Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na woatumi aka akyerɛ wo nua sɛ, ‘Ma menyi anwea a ɛgu wʼani so no mma wo’ wɔ ɛberɛ a ɛboɔ a ɛda wʼani so no wonhunu. Nyaatwomni, di ɛkan yi ɛboɔ a ɛda wʼani so no ansa na woatumi ayi anwea a ɛgu wo nua ani so no ama no.
43 For there is no good tree which produceth fruit of a bad quality; neither doth a tree of a bad sort produce good fruit.
“Dua pa nso aba bɔne, na dua bɔne nso nso aba pa.
44 Every tree is known by its own peculiar fruit. For men do not gather figs from off thorns, nor do they gather from the bramble a bunch of grapes.
Dua biara aba na wɔnam so hunu dua ko a ɛyɛ. Worentumi nte borɔdɔma wɔ nnɛnkyɛmse so. Saa ara na worentumi nte bobe wɔ nkasɛɛ so.
45 A good man, out of the good treasure of his heart, produceth what is good; and a wicked man, from the evil treasure in his heart, produceth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Onipa pa firi nnepa a ɛwɔ nʼakoma mu yɛ ade pa. Saa ara nso na onipa bɔne nso firi ne nnebɔne a ɛwɔ nʼakoma mu yɛ ade bɔne. Deɛ ahyɛ onipa akoma ma no, na ɛpue firi nʼano.
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
“Adɛn enti na mofrɛ me ‘Awurade,’ nanso monni mʼasɛm so?
47 Every one who cometh to me, and heareth my words, and puts them in practice, I will shew you to whom he is like:
Merekyerɛ mo sɛdeɛ onipa biara a ɔba me nkyɛn, na ɔtie mʼasɛm di so no teɛ.
48 he is like to a man, building a house, who digged, and sunk deep, and laid the foundation on a rock; and when there was a flood, the river rushed violently against that house, and was not of force to shake it, for it was founded on a rock.
Ɔte sɛ obi a na ɔresi ɛdan na ɔtwaa ne ɛdan no fapem ma ɛsii ɔbotan so. Na osuo tɔeɛ maa nsuo no yiri bɛbɔ faa ɛdan no ase nanso ammu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔsi sii ɔbotan so.
49 But he that heareth, and doth not practice, is like a man who built his house on the earth without a foundation; against which the river rushed violently, and immediately it fell; and the crash of the fall of that house was great.
Na deɛ ɔte mʼasɛm na ɔnni so no, ɔte sɛ obi a ɔresi ɛdan, na ɔsii ɛdan no sii anwea so, na osuo tɔ maa nsuo no yiri bɛbɔ faa aseɛ ma ɛdwiriiɛ.”
