Luke 7
1 When he had ended all his discourse in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
Yesu kasa kyerɛɛ nkurɔfoɔ no wieeɛ no, ɔkɔɔ Kapernaum.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick, and about to die.
Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu na Roma ɔsraani panin bi ɔsomfoɔ a ɔpɛ nʼasɛm yie yare dendeenden 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 panin no tee Yesu nka no, ɔsomaa Yudafoɔ mpanimfoɔ bi sɛ wɔnkɔsrɛ no na ɔmmɛsa ne ɔsomfoɔ no yadeɛ mma no.
4 And they came to Jesus, and besought him earnestly, saying, He is worthy that thou shouldst do this for him;
Wɔduruu Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔde asɛm no too nʼanim srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔmmoa ɔsraani panin no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ onipa pa.
5 for he loveth our nation, and himself built the synagogue for us.
Wɔkaa sɛ, “Ɔyɛ obi a ɔdɔ yɛn ɔman 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 siim. Wɔreyɛ aduru efie hɔ no, ɔsraani panin no somaa ne nnamfo bi sɛ, wɔnkɔka nkyerɛ Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, nha wo ho, na mensɛ sɛ woba me fie.
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 ɔsomfoɔ 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 asraafoɔ bebree hyɛ mʼase. Meka kyerɛ wɔn mu bi sɛ, ‘Kɔ’ a, ɔkɔ. Meka kyerɛ ɔfoforɔ sɛ, ‘Bra’ a, ɔba. Na mehyɛ me ɔsomfoɔ sɛ, ‘Yɛ yei’ 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 yi no, ne ho dwirii no na ɔdanee nʼani ka kyerɛɛ nnipakuo a wɔdi nʼakyi no sɛ, “Anokwa, Israelman mu nyinaa, menhunuu obiara a ɔwɔ gyidie sɛ saa ɔbarima yi da.”
10 And they who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well.
Ɛberɛ a abɔfoɔ no sane kɔduruu efie hɔ no, wɔhunuu sɛ ɔsomfoɔ 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.
Yei akyi no, Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ ne nnipakuo bi a wɔka ne ho no kɔɔ kuro 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.
Wɔduruu kurotia no, ɔhunuu sɛ wɔrekɔsie obi. Na owufoɔ no yɛ ɔbaa kunafoɔ bi a ɔwɔ kuro no mu no ba barima korɔ. Na adɔfoɔ 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.
Na Awurade hunuu no no, nʼasɛm yɛɛ no mmɔbɔ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “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 kɔsɔɔ efunu adaka no mu maa wɔn a ɛyɛ wɔn dea no gyinaeɛ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ owufoɔ no sɛ. “Aberanteɛ, mese wo sɛ, nyane!”
15 And he that was dead sat up and began to speak; and he gave him to his mother.
Aberanteɛ no sɔre tenaa ase na ɔkasaeɛ. Afei, Yesu de no maa ne maame.
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 dwirii wɔn yie na wɔyii Onyankopɔn ayɛ kaa sɛ, “Odiyifoɔ kɛseɛ bi asɔre wɔ yɛn mu, na Onyankopɔn asiane aba ne manfoɔ mu.”
17 And this report about him went forth in all Judaea, and in all the neighboring country.
Deɛ Yesu yɛeɛ yi ho asɛm trɛ kɔduruu Yudea ne nkuro a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa mu.
18 And the disciples of John told him all these things.
Yohane asuafoɔ kɔbɔɔ no deɛ asi no nyinaa ho amaneɛ.
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 nʼasuafoɔ no mu baanu kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kɔbisaa no sɛ, “Wone deɛ ɔreba no, anaasɛ yɛntwɛn ɔfoforɔ?”
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?
Asuafoɔ no duruu Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yohane Osubɔni asoma yɛn wo nkyɛn sɛ yɛmmɛbisa wo sɛ, wone deɛ ɔreba no anaasɛ yɛntwɛn ɔfoforɔ?”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases, and plagues, and evil spirits, and to many who were blind he gave sight.
Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu, Yesu saa nyarewa bebree; ɔtuu ahonhommɔne na ɔmaa anifirafoɔ hunuu adeɛ.
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 sɛ. “Monkɔka deɛ moahunu na moate yi nkyerɛ Yohane sɛ, mema anifirafoɔ hunu adeɛ, mmubuafoɔ nante, mesa akwatafoɔ yadeɛ, asotifoɔ te asɛm, awufoɔ nyane, meka asɛmpa kyerɛ honhom mu ahiafoɔ.
23 and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
Nhyira ne deɛ merenyɛ no suntidua.”
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 asuafoɔ no firii Yesu nkyɛn kɔeɛ no, Yesu dii Yohane ho adanseɛ kyerɛɛ nnipakuo no. Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mokɔɔ ɛserɛ so no, ɛdeɛn na mohunuiɛ? Ɛserɛ a mframa rehim no anaa?
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.
Na ɛnneɛ na ɛdeɛn na mohunuiɛ? Anaa na mosusu sɛ mobɛhunu ɔbarima bi a wahyehyɛ sɛ ɔhene ba te ahemfie?
26 But what have ye gone out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Anaa Onyankopɔn odiyifoɔ? Ɛnneɛ, mereka makyerɛ mo sɛ, ɔsene odiyifoɔ.
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 Atwerɛsɛm no ka fa ne ho sɛ, “‘Mɛsoma me ɔbɔfoɔ adi wʼanim ɛkan, ɔno na ɔbɛsiesie ɛkwan 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 sɛ onipa biara nni hɔ a wɔawo no a ɔyɛ kɛse sene Yohane. Nanso, deɛ ɔyɛ aketewa koraa wɔ Ɔsoro Ahennie mu no yɛ ɔkɛseɛ sene 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 deɛ ɔkaeɛ no nyinaa a ɔtogyefoɔ mpo ka ho bi gye too mu sɛ, Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔteneneeni; na wɔsakyeraa 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 Farisifoɔ ne Mmaranimfoɔ no deɛ, wɔpoo Onyankopɔn asɛm enti, 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 sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na menka mfa nnɛmmafoɔ yi ho; na ɛdeɛn 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 mmɔfra bi a wɔregoro wɔ agodibea na wɔn mu bi reka akyerɛ afoforɔ sɛ, “‘Yɛtoo anigyeɛ nnwom maa mo, nanso moansa; Yɛtoo awerɛhoɔ nnwom nso maa mo, nanso moansu.’
33 For John the Baptist hath come not eating bread, nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
Yohane Osubɔni aba a ɔnnidi na ɔnnom nsã, nso mose, ‘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 ɔdidi na ɔnom a mose, ‘Monhwɛ odidifoɔ ne ɔsanomfoɔ a ɔyɛ ɔtogyefoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ adamfo!’
35 But wisdom is acknowledged by all her children.
Nanso, wɔn a wɔdi Onyankopɔn akyi nokorɛ mu no deɛ, wɔn ɔbra di adanseɛ sɛ, nʼakwan nyinaa yɛ.”
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 adidie ma ɔpenee so kɔeɛ.
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, ɔbaa bi a ɔbu ɔbra bɔne wɔ kuro no mu tee ne nka no, ɔde aduhwam 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.
Ɔkotoo Yesu nan ase suiɛ, maa ne nisuo no fɔɔ Yesu nan ase. Afei, ɔde ne tirinwi pepaa nisuo no, sɔɔ ne nan de aduhwam 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 hunuu deɛ ɔbaa no yɛeɛ no, ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim sɛ, “Sɛ saa onipa yi yɛ odiyifoɔ ampa ara a, anka ɔbɛhunu sɛ saa ɔbaa 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 hunuu Farisini no adwene ma ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Simon, mewɔ asɛm bi ka kyerɛ wo.” Simon nso ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, ka ɛ.”
41 A certain money-lender had two debtors; one owed five hundred denaries, and the other fifty.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Osikani bi bɔɔ nnipa baanu bi bosea. Ɔmaa ɔbaako denare aha enum; ɛnna 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 enti, ɔde kyɛɛ wɔn. Wɔn mu hwan na wogye di sɛ ɔbɛpɛ osikani no asɛm yie?”
43 Simon answering said, He, I suppose, to whom he remitted the most. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly.
Simon buaa sɛ, “Megye di sɛ deɛ ɔde ne ka kɛseɛ kyɛɛ no no.” Yesu kaa sɛ, “Woabua no yie.”
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 danee nʼani kyerɛɛ ɔbaa no bisaa Simon sɛ, “Woahunu saa ɔbaa yi? Mebaa wo fie, woamma me nsuo anhohoro me nan ase; nanso saa ɔbaa yi de ne nisuo ahohoro me nan ase, asane de ne tirinwi apepa.
45 No kiss didst thou give me; but she, from the time I came in, did not cease to kiss my feet.
Mebaeɛ yi, woanyɛ me atuu amfa amma me akwaaba; nanso ɛfiri ɛberɛ a ɔbaa yi bɛtoo me wɔ ha yi, ɔnnyaee me nan mu sɔ.
46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but she anointed my feet with costly ointment.
Woamfa ngo amfɔ me tirim; nanso ɔbaa yi de aduhwam a ɛsom bo asra me nan 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.
Yei enti mereka akyerɛ wo sɛ, deɛ ɔbaa yi ayɛ enti, wɔde ne bɔne a ɛdɔɔso no akyɛ no, ɛfiri sɛ, wayi ɔdɔ kɛseɛ bi adi akyerɛ. Na deɛ wɔde ne bɔne a ɛsua akyɛ no no, ne dɔ nso sua.”
48 And he said to her, Thy sins have been forgiven.
Afei, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ɔbaa no sɛ, “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 adidiiɛ no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Hwan ne saa onipa yi a ɔtumi de bɔne kyɛ?”
50 But he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ɔbaa no sɛ, “Wo gyidie agye wo nkwa. Fa asomdwoeɛ kɔ.”
