Luke 6
1 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he was going through grain-fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of grain, and ate them, rubbing them with their hands.
Homeda bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no nam aburoofuo bi mu no, asuafoɔ no pempan aburoo no bi hwane, weeɛ.
2 And some of the Pharisees said, Why are ye doing that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath?
Farisifoɔ bi bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn na moyɛ adeɛ a ɛtia Homeda ho mmara a wɔahyɛ no?”
3 And Jesus answering them, said, Have ye not even read what David did, when he was himself hungry, and they 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 went into the house of God, and took and ate the show-bread, and gave it also to those who were with him, which it is 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 to them, The Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
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 there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
Homeda foforɔ bi nso a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan mu no, na ɔbarima bi a ne nsa nifa awu nso wɔ hɔ bi.
7 And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching whether he would heal on the sabbath, 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 But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man having the withered hand, Rise, and stand up 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 And Jesus said to them, I ask you whether it is lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to kill?
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 on them all, he said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so; and his hand was restored.
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 conferred with one another as to what they should do to Jesus.
Deɛ Yesu yɛeɛ yi hyɛɛ nnipa no abufuo yie ma wɔfirii aseɛ bɔɔ ne ho pɔ.
12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to 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 to him his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom he also 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 named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
Simon, a ɔtoo ne din Petro; Andrea, Simon nua; Yakobo, Yohane, Filipo, Bartolomeo,
15 and Matthew and Thomas, and James the Son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the zealot,
Mateo, Toma, Yakobo a ɔyɛ Alfeo ba; Simon, a wɔfrɛ no Selote;
16 and Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
Yuda, a ɔyɛ Yakobo ba; ne Yuda Iskariot a ɔyii Yesu maeɛ no.
17 And he came down with them, and stood on a level place with a great multitude of his disciples, and a great crowd of the people from all Judaea 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 that were harassed with unclean spirits were cured.
Wɔbaeɛ sɛ wɔrebɛtie no ama wasa wɔn nyarewa nso. Ɔtuu ahonhommɔne bebree.
19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him, because power went out of him and healed all.
Obiara bɔɔ mmɔden sɛ ɔde ne nsa bɛka Yesu. Ayarefoɔ a wɔde wɔn nsa kaa Yesu no nyinaa ho tɔɔ wɔn.
20 And raising his eyes toward his disciples, he 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 that hunger now; for ye will be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now; for ye will 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 hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man.
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 thus their fathers did 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 woe to you that 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 Woe to you that are full now! for ye will hunger. Woe to you that laugh now! for ye will 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 Woe, when all men speak well of you! for 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; pray for those who are spiteful to you.
Monhyira wɔn a wɔdome mo; mommɔ mpaeɛ mma wɔn a wɔtan mo.
29 To him that smiteth thee on one cheek, offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak, forbid not to take 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 Give to every one that asketh of thee; and from him that taketh away 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 to you, do ye also in like manner to them.
Na deɛ mopɛ sɛ nnipa nyɛ mo no, mo nso monyɛ wɔn saa ara.
32 And if ye love those who love you, what thanks do ye deserve? for sinners also 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 For if ye do good to those who do good to you, what thanks do ye deserve? even sinners do the same.
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 expect to receive, what thanks do ye deserve? even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much in return.
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, despairing of no one; and your reward will be great, and ye will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the unthankful and 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 merciful, as your Father is merciful.
Monyɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ sɛdeɛ mo Agya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no yɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ no.
37 And judge not, and ye will not be judged; and condemn not, and ye will not be condemned; forgive, and ye will be forgiven;
“Mommmu ntɛn, na wɔammu mo ntɛn; mommmu fɔ, na wɔammu mo fɔ; momfa nkyɛ, na wɔde akyɛ mo.
38 give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will men give into your bosom; for with what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you in return.
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 spoke also a parable to them: Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a ditch?
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 A disciple is not above his teacher; but every one when fully instructed will be as his teacher.
Osuani nsene ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ. Nanso, sɛ ɔyere ne ho sua deɛ wɔrekyerɛ no no yie a ɔbɛsɛ ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ.
41 And why dost thou look at the mote in thy brother's eye, and not perceive the beam that 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 How canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me take out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself perceivest not the beam in thine own eye? Hypocrite! first cast the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to take out the mote that 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 that beareth bad fruit; and again, there is no bad tree that beareth good fruit.
“Dua pa nso aba bɔne, na dua bɔne nso nso aba pa.
44 For every tree is known by its own fruit; for from thorns men do not gather figs, nor from a bramble-bush do they gather 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 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil; for out of the abundance of his heart his 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 But 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 that cometh to me and heareth my sayings and doeth them, I will show you whom he is like.
Merekyerɛ mo sɛdeɛ onipa biara a ɔba me nkyɛn, na ɔtie mʼasɛm di so no teɛ.
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep, and laid its foundation on a rock; and when a flood arose, the stream dashed against that house, and could not shake it; because it was well built.
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 doeth not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream dashed, and it fell at once, and the ruin 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.”
