John 12
1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he 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 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the 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 took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and 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 says one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should 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 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
enti ɔkaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wantɔn saa ngohwam yi na yɛamfa sika no amma ahiafoɔ?”
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was 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: against the day of my burying has she kept this.
Yesu kaa sɛ, “Monnyaa ɔbaa yi haw! Deɛ ɔbaa yi ayɛ yi, ɔde resiesie me ama me wuo.
8 For the poor always all of you have with you; but me all of you have not always.
Mo ne ahiafoɔ na ɛwɔ hɔ ɛberɛ biara, na me deɛ, me ne mo rentena hɔ daa.”
9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, 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 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
Afei, asɔfoɔ mpanin no bɔɔ pɔ sɛ wɔbɛkum Lasaro nso,
11 Because that by reason of him 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 next day much people that were come 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 trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that comes 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 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; 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, your King comes, sitting on an ass's colt.
“Nsuro, Ɔbabaa Sion! Hwɛ sɛ wo ɔhene te afunumu ba so reba wo nkyɛn.”
16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they 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 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
Nnipa a na wɔwɔ hɔ a wɔhunu sɛ Yesu nyanee Lasaro firii awufoɔ mu no kaa asɛm a ɛsii no kyerɛɛ afoforɔ.
18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they 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 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive all of you how all of you prevail nothing? 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 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
Afahyɛberɛ no mu no, Helafoɔ bi nso kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔrekɔsom.
21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
Wɔkɔɔ Filipo a ɔfiri Betsaida no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛhunu Yesu.”
22 Philip comes and tells Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
Filipo kɔbɔɔ Andrea amaneɛ maa wɔn baanu kɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has 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 corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it die, it brings forth much fruit.
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 loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto 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 any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: 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 your name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, 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 people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spoke 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 because of me, but for your sakes.
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 prince of this world be cast out.
Afei, ɛberɛ aduru sɛ wɔbu ewiase atɛn na wɔtu ɔbonsam a ɔdi ewiase so no gu.
32 And I, if I be 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 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
Ɔkaa yei de kyerɛɛ owuo ko a ɔbɛwu no.
34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abides for ever: and how say you, 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 Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while all of you have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walks in darkness knows not where he goes.
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 all of you have light, believe in the light, that all of you may be the children of light. These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and did hide 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 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet 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 (logos) of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has 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 Therefore they could not believe, because that Isaiah said again,
Yudafoɔ no annye anni ɛfiri sɛ, na Odiyifoɔ Yesaia asane aka sɛ,
40 He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their 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 spoke of him.
Yesaia kaa yei faa Yesu animuonyam a daakye ɔbɛnya a Onyankopɔn yi kyerɛɛ no no ho.
42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
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 the praise of men more than the praise of God.
Na wɔpɛ sɛ nnipa bɛkamfo wɔn sene sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛhyɛ wɔn animuonyam.
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes 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 sees me sees 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 whosoever believes 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 hear my words, (rhema) and believe 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 rejects me, and receives not my words, (rhema) has one that judges him: the word (logos) that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in 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 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a 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 everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. (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)
