< Luke 8 >
1 It happened soon afterwards, that he went about through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the Kingdom of God. With him were the twelve,
Eyi akyi no, Yesu ne nʼasuafo dumien no kyinkyinii Galilea nkurow ne nkuraa bi ase kaa Onyankopɔn ahenni no ho asɛm a,
2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
na nnipa a wodi nʼakyi no bi ne Maria Magdalene a otuu ahonhommɔne ason fii ne mu no
3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward; Susanna; and many others; who provided for them from their possessions.
ne Yohana a ɔyɛ Kusa, Herode fi sohwɛfo panyin yere, ne Susana. Saa mmea yi ne afoforo bi na wofi wɔn ahonya mu hwɛɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafo.
4 When a large crowd came together, and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable.
Da bi a nnipa bebree bi fi nkurow nkurow so baa ne nkyɛn no, ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn abebu mu se,
5 "The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
“Da bi, okuafo bi kɔɔ nʼafum koguu aba. Ogui no, aba no bi koguu ɔkwan mu maa nnipa tiatiaa so na nnomaa nso bɛsosɔwee.
6 Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
Ebi nso koguu ɔbotan so, enti efifii no, ankyɛ na ne nyinaa hyewee, efisɛ annya nsu.
7 Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it, and choked it.
Aba no bi nso koguu nsɔe mu. Efifii no, nsɔe no kyekyeree no na ewui.
8 Other fell into the good ground, and grew, and brought forth fruit one hundred times." As he said these things, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
Ebi nso koguu asase pa mu, enyinii, sow aba mmɔho ɔha.” Na ɔkaa eyi no, ɔka kaa ho se, “Nea ɔwɔ aso a obetie no, ontie.”
9 Then his disciples asked him, "What does this parable mean?"
Na nʼasuafo no bisaa no saa bɛ no ase no,
10 He said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables; that 'seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'
obuaa wɔn se, “Mo de, wɔde Onyankopɔn Ahenni ho ahintasɛm ama mo, na afoforo de, wɔkasa kyerɛ wɔn mmebu mu, “‘sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛhwɛ, nanso wɔrenhu na wɔbɛte, nanso wɔrente ase.’
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
“Afei bɛ no nkyerɛase ni. Aba no ne Onyankopɔn asɛm.
12 Those along the road are those who hear, then the devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
Aba a eguu ɔkwan mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm no na ɔbonsam behwim fi wɔn koma mu, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔrennye nni na wɔrennya nkwagye.
13 Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root, who believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
Aba a eguu ɔbotan so no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte asɛm no na wɔde anigye so mu, nanso ɛntena wɔn mu. Na esiane wɔn gyidi a esua nti, ɛnkyɛ na asɛm no awu. Na sɛ sɔhwɛ ba wɔn so a, wɔpa abaw.
14 That which fell among the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
Aba a eguu nsɔe mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm, na wodi so, nanso asetena mu haw ne abɛbrɛsɛ, ahonya ne wiase afɛfɛde nti, asɛm no ntumi nyɛ wɔn mu adwuma sɛnea ɛsɛ.
15 That in the good ground, these are such as in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Aba a eguu asase pa mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔde koma pa tie asɛmpa no, na wodi so, gyina pintinn de abrabɔ pa di ho adanse.
16 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container, or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
“Obi nsɔ kanea na ɔmfa kɛntɛn mmutuw so, anaa ɔmfa nhyɛ mpa ase na mmom, ɔde si kaneadua so na ahyerɛn ama wɔn a wɔba mu no.
17 For nothing is hidden, that will not be revealed; nor anything secret, that will not be known and come to light.
Nea ahintaw no bɛda adi, na nea ɛwɔ kokoa mu no nso ada gua.
18 So consider carefully how you listen. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever does not have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has."
Enti nea mutie no, muntie no yiye. Obiara a ɔwɔ no wɔbɛma no pii aka ho, na nea onni ahe bi no, nea osusuw sɛ ɛyɛ ne de no mpo, wobegye afi ne nsam.”
19 His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
Da bi, Yesu na ne ne nuanom pɛɛ sɛ wɔne no kasa, nanso esiane nnipakuw a na wɔatwa ne ho ahyia no nti, wɔantumi ne no ankasa.
20 It was told him by some saying, "Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you."
Obi kɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu se ne na ne ne nuanom gyina nkyɛn hɔ baabi rehwehwɛ no.
21 But he answered them, "My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it."
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Me na ne me nuanom ne wɔn a wotie Onyankopɔn asɛm na wodi so.”
22 Now it happened on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." So they launched out.
Da bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafo te ɔkorow mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momma yentwa nkɔ asuogya nohɔ.” Wosii mu a wɔrekɔ no,
23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
Yesu dae. Saa bere no ara mu na ahum a ano yɛ den bi bɔ maa nsu bɛtaa ɔkorow no mu maa ɔkorow no yɛɛ sɛ ɛremem. Eyi maa asuafo no koma tuu yiye.
24 So they came to him, and awoke him, saying, "Master, master, we are dying." And he awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm.
Asuafo no de hu ne nteɛteɛmu nyan no se, “Awurade, Awurade, yɛremem!” Amono mu hɔ ara, Yesu sɔre teɛteɛɛ ahum a ano yɛ den ne asorɔkye no ma ɛyɛɛ dinn.
25 He said to them, "Where is your faith?" But they were terrified and astonished, saying to one another, "Who is this, then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"
Afei obisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn na munni gyidi?” Wɔn nyinaa suroe, de ahodwiriw bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se. “Onipa bɛn ni a mframa a ano yɛ den ne asorɔkye mpo tie no yi?”
26 They arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no twaa po no beduu Gerasefo asase a ɛne Galilea di nhwɛanim no so.
27 And when he came out onto the land he was met by a certain man from the town who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and did not live in a house, but in the tombs.
Yesu fii ɔkorow no mu sii fam pɛ na ɔbarima bi a ahonhommɔne ahyɛ no ma akyɛ a ɔda adagyaw na ɔnte fie, na mmom ɔte amusiei a aboda mu na ɔdeda no behyiaa no.
28 When he saw Jesus, he shouted, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, "What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me."
Ohuu Yesu no, ɔteɛɛ mu, kotow nʼanan ase san teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Yesu, Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn Ba, dɛn na wo ne me wɔ yɛ? Mesrɛ wo, nyɛ me ayayade biara.”
29 For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bands apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, efisɛ na Yesu ateɛteɛ ahonhommɔne no sɛ womfi ne mu. Saa ahonhommɔne yi taa ka no na sɛ wɔde hama kyekyere ne nsa ne nʼanan mpo a, otumi tetew mu ma ahonhommɔne no pam no kɔ wuram.
30 Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" He said, "Legion," for many demons had entered into him.
Yesu bisaa no se, “Wo din de dɛn?” Obuaa no se, “Dɔm.” Efisɛ na ahonhommɔne ahyɛ no ma.
31 They pleaded with him that he would not command them to go into the abyss. (Abyssos )
Ahohommɔne no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔnnhyɛ wɔn mma wonnkogu amanehunu bon no mu. (Abyssos )
32 Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. He allowed them.
Saa bere no na mprako bi redidi wɔ bepɔw no nkyɛn mu baabi. Ahohommɔne no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔmma wɔn ho kwan na wonkowura mprako no mu. Na ɔmaa wɔn ho kwan.
33 The demons came out from the man, and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned.
Enti ahonhommɔne no fii ɔbarima no mu kowuraa mprako no mu ma wɔbɔɔ kirididi, sian bepɔw no koguu ɔtare no mu wuwui.
34 When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
Wɔn a wɔhwɛ mprako no so no huu nea asi no, wɔde hu ne ahopopo tutuu mmirika kɔbɔɔ amanneɛ wɔ kurom maa asɛm no trɛw wɔ mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa.
35 Then people went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm no bɔɔ twi kɔhwɛɛ nea asi. Woduu nea Yesu wɔ no, wohuu ɔbarima no sɛ ne ho atɔ no a ofura ntama te Yesu nkyɛn. Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn.
36 Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
Na wɔn a wohuu ɔkwan a Yesu faa so saa ɔbarima no ɔyare no bɔɔ wɔn a wɔbaa hɔ no amanneɛ.
37 All the people of the surrounding region of the Geresenes asked him to leave them, for they were very much afraid; and he entered into the boat and returned.
Ehu hyɛɛ Gerasefo a na wɔahyia wɔ hɔ no nyinaa ma, ma wɔsrɛɛ Yesu sɛ omfi wɔn nkyɛn hɔ nkɔ. Eyi nti, Yesu kɔtenaa ɔkorow no mu san twa kɔɔ asuogya nohɔ.
38 But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
Ansa na Yesu rebefi hɔ no, ɔbarima a otuu ahonhommɔne fii ne mu no srɛɛ no sɛ ɔne no bɛkɔ. Nanso Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se,
39 "Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you." He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
“Kɔ na kodi nea Onyankopɔn ayɛ ama wo no ho adanse kyerɛ wo manfo.” Ɔbarima no fii hɔ kodii anwonwade a Yesu ayɛ ama no no ho adanse kyerɛɛ kurom hɔfo nyinaa.
40 When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
Yesu duu asuogya hɔ no, nnipakuw no de anigye hyiaa no kwan, efisɛ na wɔatwɛn no abrɛ.
41 And look, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus' feet, and pleaded with him to come into his house,
Ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Yairo a na ɔyɛ Yudafo hyiadan mu panyin baa ne nkyɛn bebuu no nkotodwe, srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔne no nkɔ ne fi
42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the crowds pressed against him.
na ne babea koro a wadi bɛyɛ mfe dumien reyɛ awu. Bere a Yesu rekɔ no na nnipakuw no kyere ne so.
43 A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years (who had spent all her living on physicians) and could not be healed by any,
Ɔbea bi a mogya atu no mfirihyia dumien a obiara ntumi nsa no yare no,
44 came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
fii Yesu akyi soo nʼatade ano. Amono mu hɔ ara na mogya a etu no no twae.
45 Jesus said, "Who touched me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the crowds press and jostle you."
Yesu bisae se, “Hena na osoo mʼatade ano no no?” Obiara buae se ɛnyɛ ɔno. Eyi maa Petro kae se, “Awurade, na sɛ nnipa no akyere wo so.”
46 But Jesus said, "Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me."
Yesu buaa no se, “Dabi, obi aso mʼatade mu efisɛ mete nka sɛ tumi bi afi me mu.”
47 When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
Ɔbea no huu sɛ ohintaw a ɛrenyɛ ye nti, ɔde hu ne ahopopo bebuu Yesu nkotodwe wɔ nnipa no nyinaa anim, kyerɛɛ no nea enti a osoo ne mu ne sɛnea ne ho atɔ no no.
48 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɔbabea, wo gyidi ama wo ho atɔ wo. Fa asomdwoe kɔ.”
49 While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue's house came, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher."
Yesu gu so rekasa no, obi fi Yairo fi bɛka kyerɛɛ Yairo se, “Wo babea no anya awu enti nhaw Kyerɛkyerɛfo no bio.”
50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, "Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed."
Yesu tee asɛm no osee Yairo se, “Nsuro, gye di, na wo babea no benyan anya nkwa.”
51 When he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter in with him, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
Oduu fie hɔ no, wamma obiara anka ne ho ankɔ ɔdan a abofra no da mu no mu gye Petro, Yohane, Yakobo ne abofra no awofo nko ara.
52 All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, "Do not weep. She is not dead, but sleeping."
Na nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa resu di awerɛhow. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munnsu, onwui na wada.”
53 They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
Wɔserew no dii ne ho fɛw, efisɛ na wɔn de, wonim pefee sɛ wawu.
54 But he, taking her by the hand, called, saying, "Child, arise."
Yesu soo ne nsa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Me ba, sɔre!”
55 Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
Amono mu hɔ ara, ɔsɔree na Yesu kae se wɔmma no biribi nni.
56 Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
Nʼawofo no ho dwiriw wɔn yiye nanso Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano se, wɔnnka nea asi no nkyerɛ obiara.
