Luke 5
1 And it came to pass, as the multitude was pressing upon him and hearing the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,
Ɛda bi a Yesu reka asɛmpa wɔ Genesaret ɔtadeɛ ho no, nnipakuo bɛkyeree ne so sɛ wɔrebɛtie Onyankopɔn asɛm.
2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them, and had washed the nets.
Ɔhunuu akodoɔ mmienu a afarefoɔ bi a wɔrehohoro wɔn asau wɔ mu no agya wɔ ɔtadeɛ no ho.
3 And going into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And sitting down in the boat, he taught the multitudes.
Yesu kɔtenaa kodoɔ no baako a na ɛyɛ Simon dea no mu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ Simon sɛ ɔmpia nkɔ nsuo no mu kakra sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛtumi afiri hɔ akasa akyerɛ nnipa no.
4 And when he had done speaking, he said to Simon, Put out into deep water, and let down your nets for a draught.
Yesu wiee nʼasɛnka no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Simon sɛ, “Hare kɔ baabi a emu dɔ kakra na monkɔgu mo asau no na mobɛyi nam bebree.”
5 And Simon answering said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing; but at thy word I will let down the nets.
Simon kaa sɛ, “Owura, yɛyɛɛ adwuma anadwo mu no nyinaa yɛannya hwee, nanso wʼasɛm enti, yɛbɛgu yɛn asau no.”
6 And having done this, they inclosed great multitude of fishes; and their nets began to break.
Wɔguu asau no na wɔyii nam bebree maa anka mpo asau no retete.
7 And they beckoned to their partners in the other boat, to come and help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
Wɔfrɛɛ wɔn mfɛfoɔ a wɔwɔ kodoɔ baako no mu no ma wɔbɛboaa wɔn twee asau no. Ɛnam no yɛɛ akodoɔ mmienu no nyinaa ma ma a anka ɛreyɛ amemem mpo.
8 And Simon Peter seeing it fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.
Simon Petro hunuu deɛ aba no, ɔbuu Yesu nkotodwe kaa sɛ, “Me wura, mesrɛ wo, firi me nkyɛn kɔ na meyɛ ɔdebɔneyɛfoɔ a mensɛ sɛ wobɛn me.”
9 For he and all that were with him were amazed at the draught of fishes, which they had taken;
Ɛnam dodoɔ a wɔyiiɛ no yɛɛ Petro ne nʼahokafoɔ no nwanwa.
10 and so were also James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; henceforth thou shalt catch men.
Saa ara nso na ɛyɛɛ Yakobo ne Yohane, Sebedeo mma no nso nwanwa. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Petro sɛ, “Nsuro, ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, wobɛyɛ nnipayifoɔ.”
11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
Wɔde akodoɔ no bɛduruu nsuo no ano hɔ no, wɔgyaa wɔn nneɛma nyinaa hɔ bɛdii nʼakyi.
12 And it came to pass, when he was in one of the cities, lo! a man full of leprosy; and seeing Jesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me.
Ɛda bi a Yesu wɔ kuro bi mu no, ɔbarima bi a kwata ayɛ ne honam nyinaa bɛkotoo nʼanim srɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, mesrɛ wo, sɛ ɛyɛ wo pɛ a, sa me yadeɛ.”
13 And he put forth his hand and touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed. And immediately the leprosy left him.
Ɛhɔ ara Yesu tenee ne nsa de kaa no kaa sɛ, “Aane, ɛyɛ me pɛ. Wo ho mfi.” Amonom hɔ ara, ne ho teeɛ.
14 And he charged him to tell no one: but go, and show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
Yesu hyɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo ne obiara nni wʼayaresa yi ho nkɔmmɔ. Kɔ na fa wo ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfoɔ na bɔ afɔdeɛ a Mose hyɛɛ sɛ akwatafoɔ a wɔn ho ate no mmɔ sɛ adansedie no.”
15 But so much the more went abroad the report concerning him; and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.
Yesu anwanwadwuma a ɔyɛeɛ yi maa ne ho asɛm trɛɛ mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa maa nnipa bebree bɛtiee no pɛɛ sɛ ɔsa wɔn yadeɛ nso.
16 But he was wont to withdraw to desert places, and pray.
Nanso na ɔtaa twe ne ho kɔ ɛserɛ so kɔbɔ mpaeɛ.
17 And it came to pass on a certain day, that he was teaching, and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present that he might heal.
Ɛberɛ bi a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ no, na Farisifoɔ ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ bi a wɔfiri Galilea ne Yudea nkuro ahodoɔ so ne Yerusalem nso wɔ hɔ bi a wɔretie no. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Onyankopɔn ayaresa tumi ahyɛ no ma.
18 And lo! men brought on a bed a man that was palsied; and they endeavored to bring him in, and to set him before him.
Mmarima bi baa hɔ a wɔso obubuafoɔ bi.
19 And not finding any way to bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the house-top, and let him down through the tiling with the couch into the midst before Jesus.
Esiane sɛ na wɔntumi mfa nnipakuo no mu nkɔ Yesu nkyɛn enti, wɔforoo ɛdan a Yesu wɔ mu no kɔtuu atifi tokuro, de obubuafoɔ a ɔda ne kɛtɛ so no faa mu gyaagyaa no brɛoo, kɔtoo Yesu anim.
20 And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins have been forgiven thee.
Yesu hunuu gyidie a wɔwɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔyarefoɔ no sɛ, “Onua, wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo.”
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?
Farisifoɔ no ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no tee asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no, wɔbisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Hwan ne saa onipa yi a ɔreka abususɛm yi? Hwan na ɔtumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ ka Onyankopɔn ho?”
22 But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered and said to them, What are ye thinking in your hearts?
Esiane sɛ Yesu hunuu deɛ wɔdwennwene enti, ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na modwene sɛ asɛm a mekaeɛ yi yɛ abususɛm?”
23 Which is easier? to say, Thy sins have been forgiven thee? or to say, Arise, and walk?
Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Deɛ ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ den, sɛ wɔbɛka akyerɛ obi sɛ, wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo anaasɛ, wɔbɛka sɛ, sɔre na nante?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins, —he said to the palsied man, —I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go to thy house.
Na sɛ ɛbɛyɛ na mobɛhunu sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ wɔ asase so enti.” Mereka akyerɛ wo sɛ, “Sɔre yi wo kɛtɛ na kɔ efie!”
25 And he immediately rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and went away to his house, giving glory to God.
Amonom hɔ ara, ɔsɔreeɛ, yii ne kɛtɛ kɔɔ efie. Ɔrekɔ no nyinaa na ɔreyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ.
26 And amazement seized them all, and they gave glory to God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.
Wɔn a wɔgyina hɔ no ho dwirii wɔn. Ehu kaa wɔn. Wɔyii Onyankopɔn ayɛ kaa sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ deɛ, yɛahunu anwanwadeɛ.”
27 And after these things he went out, and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him, Follow me.
Yei akyi no, Yesu firii hɔ kɔhunuu ɔtogyeni Lewi sɛ ɔte atogyeɛ. Ɔhunuu no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Bɛdi mʼakyi.”
28 And leaving everything, he arose and followed him.
Ɛhɔ ara, Lewi sɔre, gyaa ne nneɛma nyinaa hɔ dii nʼakyi.
29 And Levi made a great feast for him at his house, and there was a great company of publicans and others, who were reclining at table with them.
Akyire yi, Lewi too ɛpono wɔ ne fie maa Yesu. Togyefoɔ ne nnipa ahodoɔ bebree kɔɔ apontoɔ no ase.
30 And the Pharisees and their scribes murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with the publicans and sinners?
Farisifoɔ ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no hunuu sɛ Yesu ne saa nnipa no ato nsa redidi no, wɔnwiinwii bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wo ne ɔtogyefoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ato nsa redidi?”
31 And Jesus answering said to them, They who are well do not need a physician, but they who are sick.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Wɔn a wɔyare no na ɔyaresafoɔ ho hia wɔn na ɛnyɛ wɔn a wɔnyare.
32 I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners to repentance.
Mamma sɛ merebɛfrɛ ateneneefoɔ na mmom mebɛfrɛɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnsakyera wɔn adwene.”
33 And they said to him, The disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink.
Nnipa no kɔɔ so bisaa no bio sɛ, “Adɛn enti na Yohane Osubɔni asuafoɔ ne Farisifoɔ asuafoɔ no deɛ wɔtaa di mmuada, na wʼasuafoɔ deɛ daa wɔdidi na wɔnom?”
34 But Jesus said to them, Can ye make the companions of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?
Yesu nso bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛho hia sɛ wɔn a wɔn ani agye, anaasɛ wɔn a wɔahyia wɔn ayeforɔ ase no di mmuada, wɔ ɛberɛ a ayeforɔ kunu no wɔ wɔn nkyɛn anaa?
35 But the days will come—and when the bridegroom is taken from them, then will they fast in those days.
Nanso, da bi bɛba a wɔbɛfa ayeforɔkunu no afiri wɔn nkyɛn; saa ɛberɛ no na wɔbɛdi mmuada.”
36 And he spoke also a parable to them: No one taketh a patch from a new garment and putteth it upon an old one; for then both the new garment would be rent, and the patch from the new garment would not match with the old.
Yesu buu wɔn bɛ yi sɛ, “Obi mmfa ntoma foforɔ ntare ntoma dada mu. Ɔyɛ saa a foforɔ no bɛma dada no asuane. Afei, ɛbɛma nsonsonoeɛ ada foforɔ no ne dada no ntam.
37 And no one putteth new wine into old skins; for the new wine would burst the skins, and would itself run out, and the skins would be spoilt.
Obiara nso mmfa nsã foforɔ ngu mmoa nwoma nsã nkotokuo dada mu. Ɔyɛ saa a, nsã no bɛpaapae nkotokuo no na ahwie agu na nkotokuo no nso asɛe.
38 But new wine must be put into new skins.
Yei enti, nsã nkotokuo foforɔ mu nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsã foforɔ gugu.
39 And no one, having drunk old wine, desireth new; for he saith, The old is good.
Obi nnnom nsã dada nnwie mmisa nsã foforɔ ase. Deɛ ɔnom no ka sɛ, ‘dada no na ɛyɛ.’”
