Luke 7
1 When he had ended all his discourse in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
Yesu kasa kyerɛɛ nkurɔfo no wiee no, ɔkɔɔ Kapernaum.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.
Saa bere no ara mu na Roma ɔsraani panyin bi somfo a ɔpɛ nʼasɛm yiye yare denneennen a ɔreyɛ awu.
3 And having heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, and besought him to come and save his servant.
Ɔsraani panyin no tee Yesu nka no, ɔsomaa Yudafo mpanyimfo bi se wɔnkɔsrɛ no na ɔmmɛsa ne somfo no yare mma no.
4 And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;
Woduu Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔde asɛm no too nʼanim srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔmmoa ɔsraani panyin no, efisɛ ɔyɛ onipa pa.
5 for he loveth our nation, and himself built the synagogue for us.
Wɔkae se, “Ɔyɛ obi a ɔdɔ yɛn man na wasi hyiadan ama yɛn.”
6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof;
Yesu ne wɔn sii mu. Wɔreyɛ adu fie hɔ no, ɔsraani panyin no somaa ne nnamfo bi sɛ, wɔnkɔka nkyerɛ Yesu se, “Awurade, nhaw wo ho, na mensɛ sɛ woba me fi.
7 on which account I did not think myself worthy to come to thee; but command with a word, and let my servant be healed.
Saa ara na memfata sɛ meba baabi a wowɔ. Kasa, na me somfo no ho bɛyɛ no den.
8 For even I am a man set under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Meyɛ obi a mehyɛ tumi ase, nanso mewɔ asraafo bebree hyɛ mʼase. Meka kyerɛ wɔn mu bi se, ‘Kɔ’ a, ɔkɔ. Meka kyerɛ ɔfoforo se, ‘Bra’ a, ɔba. Saa ara nso na mehyɛ me somfo sɛ, ‘Yɛ eyi’ a, ɔyɛ.”
9 And Jesus hearing this, wondered at him; and turning round said to the multitude that followed him, I say to you, Not even in Israel have I found such faith.
Yesu tee asɛm no, ne ho dwiriw no na ɔdan nʼani ka kyerɛɛ nnipakuw a wodi nʼakyi no se, “Anokwa, minhuu obiara a ɔwɔ gyidi sɛ saa ɔbarima yi wɔ Israelman nyinaa mu da.”
10 And they who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.
Bere a abɔfo no san koduu fie hɔ no, wohuu sɛ ɔsomfo no ho ayɛ no den.
11 And it came to pass the day after, that he was going to a city called Nain; and many of his disciples were with him, and a great multitude.
Eyi akyi no, Yesu ne nʼasuafo ne nnipakuw bi a wɔka ne ho no kɔɔ kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Nain mu.
12 And as he came near the gate of the city, lo! there was carried out dead an only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a great multitude from the city was with her.
Woduu kurotia no, ohuu sɛ wɔrekosie obi. Na owufo no yɛ ɔbea kunafo bi a ɔwɔ kurow no mu no ba barima koro. Na adɔfo bebree di amu no akyi.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he was moved with compassion for her, and said to her, Weep not.
Awurade Yesu huu no no, nʼasɛm yɛɛ no mmɔbɔ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Gyae su!”
14 And he came up, and touched the bier; and they who bore it stood still; and he said, Young man, I say to thee, Rise.
Yesu kosoo funnaka no mu maa wɔn a ɛyɛ wɔn de no gyinae. Ɔka kyerɛɛ owufo no se. “Aberante, mise wo sɛ, nyan!”
15 And he that was dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
Aberante no sɔre tenaa ase na ɔkasae. Afei Yesu de no maa ne na.
16 And fear seized on all, and they gave glory to God, saying, A great prophet hath risen up among us; and, God hath visited his people.
Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn yiye na woyii Onyankopɔn ayɛ kae se, “Odiyifo kɛse bi asɔre wɔ yɛn mu, na Onyankopɔn asian aba ne manfo mu.”
17 And this report about him went forth in all Judaea, and in all the neighboring country.
Nea Yesu yɛɛ yi ho asɛm trɛw koduu Yudea ne nkurow a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa mu.
18 And the disciples of John told him all these things.
Yohane asuafo kɔbɔɔ no nea asi no nyinaa ho amanneɛ.
19 And calling to him two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
Yohane somaa nʼasuafo no mu baanu kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Wone nea ɔreba no, anaasɛ yɛntwɛn ɔfoforo?”
20 And the men came to him and said, John the Baptist hath sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
Asuafo no duu Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Osuboni Yohane asoma yɛn wo nkyɛn se yemmebisa wo se, wone nea ɔreba no, anaasɛ yɛntwɛn ɔfoforo?”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind he gave sight.
Saa bere no ara mu, Yesu saa nyarewa bebree; otuu ahonhommɔne na ɔmaa anifuraefo huu ade.
22 And he answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye have seen and heard; that the blind receive sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor good tidings are brought;
Yesu buaa wɔn se. “Monkɔka nea moahu na moate yi nkyerɛ Yohane se, mema anifuraefo hu ade, mmubuafo nantew, mesa akwatafo yare, asotifo te asɛm, awufo nyan, meka asɛmpa kyerɛ honhom mu ahiafo.
23 and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
Nhyira ne wɔn a merento wɔn hintidua.”
24 And when the messengers of John had departed, he began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What have ye gone out into the wilderness to see? the reeds shaken by the wind?
Yohane asuafo no fii Yesu nkyɛn kɔe no, Yesu dii Yohane ho adanse kyerɛɛ nnipakuw no. Obisaa wɔn se, “Mokɔɔ sare so no, dɛn na muhui? Sare a mframa rehim no ana?
25 But what have ye gone out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they who wear gorgeous apparel, and live luxuriously, are in kings' palaces.
Ɛno de, dɛn na muhui? Obi a ofura sirikyi ana? Ahemfi na yehu wɔn a wodi yiye na wofura ntama pa.
26 But what have ye gone out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Anaa Onyankopɔn diyifo? Ɛno de, mereka akyerɛ mo se, nea muhuu no no sen odiyifo mpo.
27 This is he of whom it is written, “Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.”
Na saa Yohane yi na Kyerɛwsɛm no ka fa ne ho se, “‘Mɛsoma me bɔfo adi wʼanim kan. Ɔno na obesiesie kwan ama wo.’
28 I say to you, Among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John; but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
Meka kyerɛ mo se onipa biara nni hɔ a wɔawo no a ɔyɛ kɛse sen Yohane. Nanso nea ɔyɛ akumaa koraa wɔ Onyankopɔn ahemman mu no sen no.”
29 And all the people when they heard him, and the publicans, acknowledged God as righteous by being baptized with the baptism of John.
Na wɔn a wɔtee nea ɔkae no nyinaa a towgyefo mpo ka ho bi gye too mu se, Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔtreneeni; na wɔsakraa wɔn adwene maa Yohane bɔɔ wɔn asu.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God toward themselves, not being baptized by him.
Na Farisifo ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no de, wɔpoo Onyankopɔn asɛm nti, wɔamma Yohane ammɔ wɔn asu.
31 To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na menka mfa nnɛmma yi ho; na dɛn ho na memfa wɔn ntoto?
32 They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling one to another, saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye did not weep.
Wɔte sɛ mmofra bi a wɔregoru wɔ agodibea na wɔn mu bi reka akyerɛ afoforo se, “‘Yɛhyɛn mmɛn maa mo, nanso moansaw; yetwaa agyaadwo, nanso moansu.’
33 For John the Baptist hath come not eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
Osuboni Yohane aba a onnidi na ɔnnom nsa nso muse, ‘Ɔwɔ honhommɔne.’
34 The Son of man hath come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
Onipa Ba no nso aba a odidi na ɔnom a muse, ‘Monhwɛ odidifo ne ɔkɔwensani a ɔyɛ towgyefo ne “nnebɔneyɛfo” adamfo!’
35 But wisdom is acknowledged by all her children.
Nanso wɔn a wodi Onyankopɔn akyi nokware mu no de, wɔn bra di adanse sɛ, nʼakwan nyinaa ye.”
36 And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him; and he went into the Pharisee's house, and reclined at the table.
Farisini bi frɛɛ Yesu adidi ma ɔpenee so kɔe.
37 And lo! a woman who was in the city, a sinner, learning that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster-bottle of ointment,
Ɔte hɔ redidi no, ɔbea bi a obu bra bɔne wɔ kurow no mu tee ne nka no, ɔde aduhuam bi a ɛsom bo tumpan ma kɔɔ hɔ.
38 and standing behind at his feet, weeping, began to wet his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Ɔkotow Yesu nan ase sui, maa ne nusu no fɔw Yesu nan ase. Afei ɔde ne tinwi pepaa nisu no, soo ne nan de aduhuam no sraa ho.
39 And the Pharisee who had invited him, when he saw this, said within himself, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who, and what sort of woman, this is that toucheth him; for she is a sinner.
Farisini a ɔfrɛɛ Yesu adidi no huu nea ɔbea no yɛe no, ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim se, “Sɛ saa onipa yi yɛ odiyifo ampa ara a, anka obehu sɛ saa ɔbea yi bu ɔbra bɔne.”
40 And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on.
Yesu huu Farisini no adwene ma ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Simon, mewɔ asɛm bi ka kyerɛ wo.” Simon nso ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, ka ɛ.”
41 A certain money-lender had two debtors; one owed five hundred denaries, and the other fifty.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Osikani bi bɔɔ nnipa baanu bi bosea. Ɔmaa ɔbaako denare ahannum; na ɔbaako no nso ɔmaa no denare aduonum.
42 When they had nothing to pay, he freely remitted the debt of both. Which of them, now, will love him the most?
Wɔn mu biara antumi antua ne ka a ɔde no no nti, ɔde kyɛɛ wɔn. Wɔn mu hena na wugye di sɛ ɔbɛpɛ ɔdefo no asɛm yiye?”
43 Simon answering said, He, I suppose, to whom he remitted the most. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
Simon buae se, “Migye di sɛ nea ɔde ne ka kɛse kyɛɛ no no.” Yesu kae se, “Woabua no yiye.”
44 And turning to the woman, he said to Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, no water didst thou give me for my feet; but she wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with her hair.
Afei Yesu dan nʼani kyerɛɛ ɔbea no bisaa Simon se, “Woahu saa ɔbea yi? Mebaa wo fi, woamma me nsu anhohoro mʼanan ase; nanso saa ɔbea yi de ne nisu ahohoro mʼanan ase, asan de ne tinwi apepa.
45 No kiss didst thou give me; but she, from the time I came in, did not cease to kiss my feet.
Mebae yi, woanyɛ me atuu amfa amma me akwaaba; nanso efi bere a ɔbea yi bɛtoo me wɔ ha yi, onnyaee me nan mu so.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she anointed my feet with costly ointment.
Woamfa ngo amfɔw me tirim; nanso ɔbea yi de aduhuam a ɛsom bo asra mʼanan ase.
47 Wherefore, I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven; for she loved much; but he to whom little is forgiven loveth little.
Eyi nti mereka akyerɛ wo se, nea ɔbea yi ayɛ nti, wɔde ne bɔne a ɛdɔɔso no akyɛ no, efisɛ wayi ɔdɔ kɛse bi adi akyerɛ. Na nea wɔde ne bɔne a esua akyɛ no no, ne dɔ nso sua.”
48 And he said to her, Thy sins have been forgiven.
Afei Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no se, “Wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo.”
49 And those who were at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins?
Wɔn a ɔne wɔn te adidii no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Hena ne saa onipa yi a otumi de bɔne kyɛ?”
50 But he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no se, “Wo gyidi agye wo nkwa. Fa asomdwoe kɔ.”
