Luke 9
1 And he called together the twelve, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
Da bi Yesu frɛɛ Dumien no hyia maa wɔn tumi ne ahoɔden a wɔde betu ahonhommɔne na wɔde asa nyarewa nso.
2 And he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal.
Afei ɔsomaa wɔn se wɔnkɔka Onyankopɔn ahenni ho asɛm na wɔnsa nyarewa.
3 And he said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats apiece.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo akwantu yi mu, mommfa biribiara nnkɔ, sɛ ɛyɛ pema anaa akwantukotoku, anaa aduan biara, anaa sika, anaa ntade abien abien.
4 And into whatever house ye enter, there abide, and from it take your departure.
Na sɛ mokɔ kurow bi mu a, ofi biara a mobɛsoɛ wɔ mu no, ɛhɔ ara na montena nkosi sɛ mubefi kurow no mu.
5 And whoever shall not receive you, shake off, when ye leave that city, even the dust from your feet as a testimony against them.
Sɛ mokɔ kurow biara mu na wɔannye mo, na morefi hɔ akɔ a, momporoporow mo anan ase mfutuma mfa nkyerɛ sɛ, mo ne wɔn nni hwee yɛ bio.”
6 And they departed, and went through the towns publishing the glad tidings, and performing cures everywhere.
Wofii hɔ no, wɔkɔɔ nkuraase nkuraase kɔkaa asɛmpa no, saa nyarewa pii nso.
7 And Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was taking place, and was perplexed; because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead;
Ɔmansinhene Herode tee nea Yesu ayɛ no nyinaa no, ɛhaw no yiye, efisɛ na ebinom keka se Osuboni Yohane na wasɔre afi awufo mu,
8 and by some, that Elijah had appeared; and by others, that one of the old prophets had risen.
na afoforo nso se ɛyɛ Elia anaa tete adiyifo no mu baako na wasɔre afi awufo mu aba.
9 But Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, about whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.
Herode kae se, “Yohane de, matwa ne ti, na hena koraa ne saa onipa yi a mete anwonwasɛm a ɛte sɛɛ fa ne ho yi?” Eyi nti ɔpɛɛ sɛ ohu no.
10 And the apostles returned and told him what they had done; and taking them with him, he withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida.
Asomafo no fii wɔn akwantu mu bae no, wɔbɔɔ nsɛm a esisii wɔ hɔ nyinaa ho amanneɛ kyerɛɛ Yesu. Eyi akyi na Yesu ne wɔn twee wɔn ho kɔɔ baabi a ɛbɛn Betsaida.
11 But the multitudes, when they knew it, followed him; and he welcomed them, and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.
Nnipadɔm no huu nea Yesu ne nʼasomafo no wɔ no, wotiw wɔn ma ogyee wɔn fɛw so, kaa Onyankopɔn ahenni ho asɛm kyerɛɛ wɔn, saa ayarefo yare.
12 And when the day began to decline, the twelve came and said to him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages around, and the open country, and lodge, and get food; for we are here in a desert place.
Anim rebiribiri no, dumien no baa ne nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ka kyerɛ nnipa no na wɔnkɔ nkurow ne nkuraa a atwa yɛn ho ahyia yi mu nkɔpɛ nea wobedi ne nea wɔbɛda, efisɛ faako a yɛwɔ yi yɛ sare so.”
13 But he said to them, Do ye give them food. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we ourselves should go and buy food for l all these people.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo ara momma wɔn biribi nni.” Wobuaa no se, “Yɛwɔ brodo anum ne mpataa abien pɛ. Ɛno nti gye sɛ yɛkɔtɔ aduan brɛ wɔn nyinaa.”
14 They were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them lie down in companies of fifty.
Na nnipa bɛyɛ mpem anum na wɔahyia wɔ hɔ. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Monhwɛ na nnipa no ntenatena ase aduonum aduonum.”
15 And they did so, and made them all lie down.
Wɔyɛɛ sɛnea Yesu kae no.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.
Afei Yesu faa brodo anum no ne mpataa abien no na ɔhwɛɛ ɔsoro, daa so ase, hyiraa so, bubuu mu de maa nʼasuafo no se wɔnkyɛ mma nnipa no.
17 And they ate, and were all filled; and what remained to them of fragments was taken up, twelve baskets.
Obiara didi mee. Asuafo no boaboaa nea wodi ma ɛkae no ano no, ɛyɛɛ nkɛntɛn dumien.
18 And it came to pass as he was in a private place praying, that his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who do the multitudes say that I am?
Da bi a Yesu hyɛ kokoa mu baabi rebɔ mpae a nʼasuafo ka ne ho no, obisaa wɔn se, “Nnipa ka se mene hena?”
19 And they answering said, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets hath risen.
Wobuaa no se, “Ebinom ka se, woyɛ Osuboni Yohane, ebinom nso ka sɛ Elia, na afoforo nso se, woyɛ tete adiyifo no mu baako a wasɔre afi awufo mu aba.”
20 And he said to them, But who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Na mo nso muse mene hena?” Petro buaa no se, “Wone Kristo, nea Onyankopɔn asoma no no.”
21 But he strictly charged them, and commanded them to tell this to no one;
Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano sɛ wɔnnka nkyerɛ obiara.
22 saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and rise again on the third day.
Ɔtoaa so se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ Kristo no hu amane pii; Yudafo mpanyimfo ne asɔfo mpanyin ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo nso bɛpo no. Akyiri no wobekum no, na ne nnansa so wasɔre.”
23 And he said to all, If any one chooseth to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn nyinaa se, “Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ odi mʼakyi a, ɔmpa ne ho akyi na daa ɔnsoa nʼasennua na onni mʼakyi.
24 For whoever chooseth to save his life, will lose it; and whoever loseth his life for my sake, he will save it.
Na obiara a ɔma nʼani ku ne ho sen me no, ɔbɛhwere ne nkwa; na nea me nti ɔbɛhwere ne nkwa no, ne nsa bɛka.
25 For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit himself?
Na sɛ onipa nya wiase yi mu nneɛma nyinaa na ɔhwere ne kra a, dɛn mfaso na obenya?
26 For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when be cometh in his glory, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels.
Na nea nʼani bewu me ne me nsɛm ho no, ɔno nso, da a me, Onipa Ba no bɛba wɔ me ne Agya no ne abɔfo kronkron no anuonyam mu no, mʼani bewu wɔ ne ho.
27 And I tell you in truth, that there are some of those standing here who will not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God.
“Na mereka akyerɛ mo se, mo a mugyina ha yi mu bi wɔ hɔ a wɔrenwu kosi sɛ wobehu Onyankopɔn ahenni no.”
28 And it came to pass about eight days after this discourse, that he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up into the mountain to pray.
Yesu kaa ne nsɛm yi wiee no, ɛbɛyɛ nnaawɔtwe akyi, ɔne Petro, Yohane ne Yakobo kɔɔ bepɔw bi so sɛ wɔrekɔbɔ mpae.
29 And while he was praying, the appearance of his countenance was changed, and his raiment became white and glistening.
Na Yesu gu so rebɔ mpae no, nʼanimdua sesae, na nʼatade nso hyerɛnee.
30 And lo! two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah;
Prɛko pɛ, nnipa baanu a ɛyɛ Mose ne Elia puee wɔ hɔ anuonyam mu ne no bɛkasae.
31 who appeared in glory, and spoke of his departure which he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.
Wɔkasa faa ne wu a obewu a ɛde mahyɛ bɛba Yerusalem so no ho.
32 But Peter and those who were with him were weighed down with sleep. But when they awoke, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
Saa bere no na Petro ne nnipa a wɔka ne ho no adeda hatehatee na wonyanyan a wɔn ani so tetew wɔn no, wohuu Yesu sɛ ɔwɔ nʼanuonyam mu ne nnipa baanu bi a wɔka ne ho.
33 And it came to pass as they were parting from him, that Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah; —not knowing what he said.
Na ɛbaa sɛ nnipa no refi Yesu nkyɛn akɔ no, Petro ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Awurade, eye sɛ yɛn nso yɛwɔ ha bi. Ma yɛmmɔ asese abiɛsa; wo de baako, Mose de baako na Elia nso de baako.” Na Petro nnim asɛm a ɔreka no.
34 But as he was saying this, there came a cloud and overshadowed them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
Ogu so rekasa no, omununkum bɛkataa wɔn so ma wosuroe.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is my chosen Son; hear him.”
Na nne bi fi omununkum no mu kae se, “Oyi ne me Ba a mayi no. Muntie no!”
36 And when the voice had come, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it secret, and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
Kasa yi akyi no, wohuu sɛ aka Yesu nko ara na ogyina hɔ. Na mmere no mu, wɔanka nea wohuu no ankyerɛ obiara.
37 And it came to pass that on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.
Ade kyee a wosian fii bepɔw no so bae no, nnipakuw bi behyiaa Yesu.
38 And lo! a man from the multitude cried out, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, for he is my only child;
Ɔbarima bi fi nnipakuw no mu teɛɛ mu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, mesrɛ wo, bra bɛhwɛ me ba a midi no bakoro ma me;
39 and lo! a spirit seizeth him, and suddenly crieth out, and convulseth him so that he foameth, and it departeth from him hardly, taking away all his strength.
sɛ honhommɔne ba ne so a, amono mu, ɔteɛ mu, otwa hwe, osinsen, nʼano pu ahuru, na obu fa so, na ɛkyɛ ansa na afi ne so.
40 And I besought thy disciples to cast it out, and they could not.
Na mesrɛɛ wʼasuafo no sɛ wontu honhommɔne no nanso wɔantumi.”
41 And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring thy son hither.
Yesu kae se, “Ao! Mo a munni gyidi, mentena mo nkyɛn na minnya mo ho boasetɔ nkosi da bɛn!” Afei, ɔdan nʼani ka kyerɛɛ ɔbarima no se, “Fa wo ba no bra ha.”
42 And while he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him to his father.
Ɔde abofra no reba no, honhommɔne no twaa no hwee fam ma osinsenii. Na Yesu teɛteɛɛ honhommɔne no maa abofra no ho yɛɛ no den na ɔde no maa nʼagya.
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they were all wondering at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,
Onyankopɔn tumi ne ne kɛseyɛ a ɛdaa adi wɔ honhommɔne no tu mu no maa nnipa no ho dwiriw wɔn. Na wɔredwinnwen nea asi yi ho no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se,
44 As for you, let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men.
“Muntie asɛm a merebɛka yi yiye. Wobeyi Kristo no ama.”
45 But they knew not the meaning of these words, and it was hidden from them, that they might not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about these words.
Nea ɔkaa yi na ɛyɛ ahintasɛm nti, asuafo no ante ase. Nanso na wosuro sɛ wobebisa no ase.
46 And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was greatest.
Asuafo no gyee akyinnye a ɛfa wɔn mu nea ɔbɛyɛ ɔkɛse wɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu no ho.
47 And Jesus knowing the reasoning of their heart, took a child and set him by his side,
Na Yesu huu wɔn adwene no, osoo abofra bi mu de no begyinaa ne nkyɛn pɛɛ,
48 and said to them, Whoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth him who sent me. For he that is least among you all, he is great.
na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Obiara a obegye saa abofra yi wɔ me din mu no, gye me; na nea ogye me no nso gye nea ɔsomaa me no. Nea ɔyɛ aketewa wɔ mo nyinaa mu no, ɔno ne ɔkɛse.”
49 And John answering said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow in our company.
Yohane nso ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Awurade, yehuu obi a ɔnka yɛn ho sɛ ɔde wo din tu ahonhommɔne enti yɛbraa no.”
50 But Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for he that is not against you is for you.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Munnsiw no kwan, efisɛ nea ontia mo no, na ɔwɔ mo afa.”
51 And it came to pass, when the time was near for his being received up, that he himself steadily set his face to go to Jerusalem.
Na bere a ɛsɛ sɛ Yesu san kɔ ɔsoro no rebɛn no, osii ne bo sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Yerusalem.
52 And he sent messengers before him; and they went and entered a city of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
Ansa na ɔrebɛkɔ no, ɔsomaa nnipa bi dii kan kɔɔ Samaria akuraa bi ase sɛ wonkosiesie baabi mma no.
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as if he were going to Jerusalem.
Nanso Samariafo no annye Yesu, efisɛ wohuu sɛ na ɔrekɔ Yerusalem.
54 And the disciples James and John, on seeing it, said, Lord, wilt thou have us bid fire come down from heaven, and consume them?
Asuafo no tee nea aba no, Yakobo ne Yohane bisaa Yesu se, “Awurade, wopɛ sɛ yɛma ogya fi ɔsoro bɛhyew wɔn pasaa ana?”
55 But he turned and rebuked them.
Yesu dan nʼani kyerɛɛ wɔn kaa wɔn anim,
56 And they went to another village.
na wofii hɔ kɔɔ akuraa foforo bi ase.
57 And as they were traveling on the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.
Bere a wɔrekɔ no, ɔbarima bi baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Baabiara a wobɛkɔ no, medi wʼakyi.”
58 And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have lodging-places; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Yesu buaa no se, “Sakraman wɔ wɔn abon, wim nnomaa nso wɔ mmerebuw, nanso me, Onipa Ba no de, minni baabi a mede me ti to!”
59 And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ɔbarima foforo bi nso se, “Bedi mʼakyi.” Nanso ɔbarima no kae se, “Awurade, ma me kwan na minkosie mʼagya ansa.”
60 And he said to him, Let the dead bury their own dead; but go thou and carry the tidings of the kingdom of God.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ma wɔn a wɔte ase na wɔawu wɔ honhom mu no nyɛ saa nnwuma no, na wo de, kɔka Onyankopɔn ahenni no ho asɛm kyerɛ amanaman nyinaa.”
61 And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first let me bid farewell to those who are in my house.
Na ɔfoforo nso kae se, “Awurade, medi wʼakyi nanso ma me kwan na me ne mʼabusuafo nkodi nkra ansa.”
62 And Jesus said to him, No one who looketh back after putting his hand to the plough is fit for the kingdom of God.
Nanso Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Obiara a ɔbɛma nʼadwene ayɛ no ntanta wɔ dwumadi bi a mede ahyɛ ne nsa no ho no, ɔmfata Onyankopɔn ahenni no.”
