< Mark 14 >

1 And two days after was the passover, and the feast of unleavened bread; and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by craft, and put him to death.
Aka nnanu na Twam Afahyɛ ne Apiti Afahyɛ a ɛyɛ Yudafoɔ ahomegyeɛ nna no aduru no, asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no hwehwɛɛ nyansakwan a wɔbɛfa so akye Yesu, akum no.
2 For they said, Not at the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.
Nanso, wɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛrenkyere no afahyɛ no mu, anyɛ saa a ɛde basabasa bɛba ɔman no mu.”
3 And when he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, there came a woman having an alabaster bottle of ointment of pure spikenard, very precious; and breaking the bottle, she poured it on his head.
Yesu wɔ Betania na ɔne Simon kwatani redidi no, ɔbaa bi a ɔkura ngo hwamhwam bi a ne bo yɛ den baa hɔ. Ɔtuu ano, hwie guu Yesu tirim.
4 And there were some that were much displeased, [[and said]] among themselves, Why is this waste of the ointment made?
Deɛ ɔbaa yi yɛeɛ no anyɛ nnipa a wɔte adidiiɛ no mu bi dɛ. Na wɔkaa sɛ, “Wasɛe ngo no kwa.
5 For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor. And they chid her harshly.
Anka ɔbɛtumi atɔn ngo hwamhwam yi anya sika pii na ɔde ama ahiafoɔ.”
6 But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? A good deed hath she done for me.
Nanso, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnyaa no! Adɛn enti na moreha no wɔ ade pa a ɔyɛeɛ no ho?
7 For the poor ye have always with you, and whenever ye will, ye can do good to them; but me ye have not always.
Mo ne ahiafoɔ a mobɛtumi aboa wɔn ɛberɛ biara mu na ɛte. Na me deɛ, merenkyɛ wɔ mo nkyɛn.
8 She hath done what she could; she hath anointed my body beforehand for its burial.
Wayɛ deɛ ɔbɛtumi. Wadi ɛkan asra me onipadua ama ɛda a wobɛsie me.
9 And truly do I say to you, Wherever the glad tidings shall be published throughout the whole world, this too which she hath done will be told for a memorial of her.
Mereka makyerɛ mo sɛ, baabiara a wɔbɛka Asɛmpa no wɔ ewiase no, wɔde deɛ ɔbaa yi yɛeɛ no bɛkae no, akamfo no.”
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, that he might deliver him up to them.
Afei, Yuda Iskariot, asuafoɔ dumienu no mu baako, kɔɔ asɔfoɔ mpanin no nkyɛn ne wɔn kɔhyehyɛɛ sɛdeɛ ɔbɛyi Yesu ama wɔn no ho.
11 And they when they heard it were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought a good opportunity to deliver him up.
Asɔfoɔ mpanin no tee asɛm no, ɛyɛɛ wɔn anigye ma wɔhyɛɛ no bɔ. Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, ɔhwehwɛɛ sɛdeɛ ɔbɛnya Yesu ho ɛkwan, ayi no ama ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu.
12 And on the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, when they used to kill the passover, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready for thee to eat the passover?
Apiti Afahyɛ no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan a wɔkum Twam Afahyɛ odwan no, nʼasuafoɔ bisaa no faako a wɔbɛkɔ akɔdi Twam Afahyɛ no.
13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to them, Go into the city, and there will meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him;
Ɔsomaa nʼasuafoɔ no mu baanu kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔnkɔsiesie baabi mma no. Deɛ ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn ne sɛ, “Morekɔ kuro no mu a, mobɛhyia onipa bi a ɔso ahina. Monni nʼakyi.
14 and wherever he goeth in, say to the master of the house, The Teacher saith, Where is my guest-chamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
Baabiara a ɔbɛwura no, monka nkyerɛ efiewura no sɛ, ‘Yɛn wura asoma yɛn sɛ, yɛmmɛhwɛ ɛdan a wɔasiesie ama yɛn a yɛbɛdi Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ mu no.’
15 And he will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared; and there make ready for us.
Ɔbɛkyerɛ mo abansoro asa kɛseɛ bi a wɔasiesie mu. Ɛhɔ na monyɛ ahoboa mma yɛn.”
16 And the disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had told them; and they made ready the passover.
Asuafoɔ baanu no siim kɔɔ kuro no mu, na wɔhunuu biribiara sɛdeɛ Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no pɛpɛɛpɛ, na wɔsiesiee Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ hɔ.
17 And when it was evening, he cometh with the twelve.
Ɛduruu anwummerɛ no, Yesu ne dumienu no baeɛ.
18 And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, Truly do I say to you, that one of you will betray me, —one that is eating with me.
Na wɔte hɔ redidi no, Yesu kaa sɛ, “Merema mo ate aseɛ sɛ, mo a me ne mo reto nsa adidi yi mu baako bɛyi me ama.”
19 They began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, Is it I?
Wɔn nyinaa werɛ hoeɛ, na wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ bisaa mmaako mmaako sɛ, “Ɛyɛ me anaa?”
20 And he said to them, It is one of the twelve, one that is dipping with me in the dish.
Ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛyɛ mo dumienu a mo ne me reto nsa adidi yi mu baako.
21 For the Son of man indeed goeth away, as it hath been written concerning him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Well were it for that man if he had not been born.
Onipa Ba no wu sɛdeɛ odiyifoɔ no hyɛɛ ne ho nkɔm no; nanso onipa a ɔbɛyi Onipa Ba no ama no, nnue! Sɛ wanwo saa onipa no a, anka ɛyɛ.”
22 And as they were eating, he took a loaf, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, Take; this is my body.
Ɛberɛ a wɔredidi no, Yesu faa abodoo, na ɔhyiraa so bubuiɛ, na ɔde maa wɔn kaa sɛ, “Monnye nni; yei ne me onipadua.”
23 And he took a cup, and having given thanks, gave it to them; and they all drank of it.
Afei, ɔfaa kuruwa a nsã wɔ mu, na ɔdaa ase no, ɔde maa wɔn, na wɔn nyinaa nom bi.
24 And he said to them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is shed for many.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Yei ne me mogya a ɛyɛ apam no mogya a ɛhyɛ Apam Foforɔ no mu den a bebree enti wɔrehwie agu.
25 Truly do I say to you, I shall not drink hereafter of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
Mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, merennom saa nsã yi bio da akɔsi ɛda a me ne mo bɛnom bi bio wɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu.”
26 And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Wɔtoo dwom bi wieeɛ no, wofirii hɔ kɔɔ Ngo Bepɔ no so.
27 And Jesus saith to them, Ye will all fall away from me; for it is written, “I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.”
Wɔduruu deɛ wɔrekɔ no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo nyinaa bɛdwane agya me. Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn nam adiyifoɔ no so kaa sɛ, “‘Mɛbɔ odwanhwɛfoɔ no, na nnwan no abɔ apete.’
28 But after I have risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
Na sɛ mewusɔre a, mɛdi mo anim akɔ Galilea akɔhyia mo wɔ hɔ.”
29 But Peter said to him, Even if all shall fall away, yet will not I.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ nnipa nyinaa bɛdwane agya wo a, me deɛ, merennwane nnya wo da!”
30 And Jesus saith to him, Truly do I say to thee, that even thou, to-day, on this night, before a cock crow twice, wilt thrice deny me.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Petro, ansa na anadwo yi akokɔ bɛbɔn mprenu no, na woapa me mprɛnsa.”
31 But he spoke the more vehemently: If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And so also said they all.
Petro de anibereɛ kaa sɛ, “Merempa wo da! Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ me ne wo wu mpo a, merempa wo da!” Saa ara na wɔn a aka no nyinaa nso kaeɛ.
32 And they come to a place called Gethsemane; and he saith to his disciples, Sit here, while I pray.
Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no duruu baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ Getsemane no, ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Montena ha, na merekɔbɔ mpaeɛ aba.”
33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John; and began to be in great consternation and anguish.
Ɔfaa Petro, Yakobo ne Yohane kaa ne ho, na ne ho hyɛɛ aseɛ yeraa no, na ɔyɛɛ basaa.
34 And he saith to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death; remain here and watch.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Awerɛhoɔ ahyɛ me kra ma. Montena ha, na mo ne me nwɛn.”
35 And going on a little farther, he fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it was possible, the hour might pass from him.
Ɔkɔɔ nʼanim kakra, kɔbutuu fam, bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, sɛ ɛbɛtumi a, saa ahoyera no ntwa ne ho nkɔ.
36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee! take away this cup from me. But not what I will, but what thou wilt.
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Abba, Agya! Wotumi yɛ biribiara. Ma kuruwa yi ntwa me ho nkɔ. Nanso, deɛ wopɛ na ɛnyɛ hɔ, na ɛnyɛ deɛ mepɛ.”
37 And he cometh and findeth them sleeping; and he saith to Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? Couldst not thou watch one hour?
Ɔsane baeɛ no, ɔbɛhunuu asuafoɔ baasa no sɛ wɔadeda. Ɔbisaa Petro sɛ, “Simon, woada? Woantumi ne me anwɛn dɔnhwereɛ baako pɛ mpo?
38 Watch, and pray that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Monwɛn na mommɔ mpaeɛ na ɔsɔhwɛfoɔ no anni mo so. Honhom no pɛ deɛ, na honam no na ɛyɛ mmerɛ.”
39 And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.
Ɔsane kɔɔ bio kɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ korɔ no ara.
40 And returning, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.
Ɔsane baa wɔn nkyɛn bio bɛhunuu sɛ wɔadeda, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔabrɛbrɛ. Na wonhunu deɛ wɔnka nkyerɛ no.
41 And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, Sleep on, and take your rest! It is enough! the hour is come: lo! the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
Ɔsane baa ne mprɛnsa so no, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ. “Mogu so adeda a morehome? Ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ mode da no atwam. Wɔrebɛyi Onipa Ba no ahyɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nsa.
42 Rise, let us be going; lo! he that delivereth me up is at hand.
Monsɔre na yɛnkɔ! Monhwɛ, deɛ ɔreyi me ama no wɔ ha!”
43 And immediately, while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and elders.
Ɔgu so rekasa no, Yuda a ɔyɛ nʼasuafoɔ no mu baako ne dɔm a asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Yudafoɔ mpanin asoma wɔn ka ne ho a, wɔkurakura akofena ne mmaa baa hɔ.
44 And his betrayer had given them a signal, saying, Whomever I shall kiss, he is the man; seize him, and lead him away securely.
Na Yuda aka akyerɛ wɔn dada sɛ, “Deɛ mɛbam no, ayɛ no atuu no, ɔno ne deɛ morehwehwɛ no no. Monkyere no, na monsɔ ne mu yie mfa no nkɔ.”
45 And on coming he immediately went up to him, and said, Rabbi! and kissed him.
Ɛno enti, wɔduruu hɔ pɛ, ɔkɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kɔbam no kaa sɛ, “Me Wura.” Afei, ɔyɛɛ no atuu.
46 And they laid hands on him and seized him.
Ɛhɔ ara, na ɛdɔm a wɔne Yuda nam no sɔɔ Yesu mu kyeree no.
47 And one of those who stood by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high-priest, and cut off his ear.
Wɔn a wɔka Yesu ho no mu baako twee ne akofena de twaa Ɔsɔfopanin no akoa bi aso ma ɛteeɛ.
48 And Jesus answering said to them, Ye have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me.
Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Meyɛ owudifoɔ enti na mode akofena ne mmaa aba me so rebɛkye me anaa?
49 I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye did not lay hands on me; but [[thus it is]], that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.
Adɛn na ɛberɛ a merekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan mu hɔ no, moankye me? Nanso, yeinom nyinaa aba sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a nkɔm a wɔhyɛɛ wɔ me ho no bɛba mu.”
50 And all forsook him and fled.
Asuafoɔ no nyinaa dwane gyaa no.
51 And there followed him a certain young man having a linen cloth wrapped round his naked body; and they laid hold of him.
Aberanteɛ bi a ɔde ntomasini bi asi nʼasene dii nʼakyi.
52 And he left the linen cloth behind, and fled naked.
Ɛdɔm a wɔbɛkyeree Yesu no pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere no, nanso ɔgyaa ne ntoma no maa wɔn, de ne ho saa ara dwanee.
53 And they led Jesus away to the high-priest; and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes come together.
Wɔde Yesu kɔɔ Ɔsɔfopanin no anim no, ankyɛre na asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Yudafoɔ mpanin bi bɛhyiaa hɔ.
54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the palace of the high-priest, and was sitting with the officers, and warming himself at the fire.
Ɛberɛ a wɔde Yesu rekɔ no, Petro tee ne ho dii wɔn akyi, na ɔwiawiaa ne ho kɔhyɛɛ Ɔsɔfopanin no efie hɔ de ne ho kɔfraa asomfoɔ bi a na wɔreto ogya no mu.
55 And the chief priests and the whole council sought for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death; and they found none.
Asɔfoɔ mpanin ne badwafoɔ no nyinaa hwehwɛɛ sɛ wɔbɛnya asɛm bi atia Yesu, na wɔagyina so abu no kumfɔ. Nanso, wɔannya bi.
56 For many bore false witness against him, but their testimonies did not agree together.
Nnipa pii bɛdii adansekurumu tiaa Yesu, nanso wɔn nsɛm a wɔkaeɛ no bɔɔ abira.
57 And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying,
Afei, nnipa no bi kekaa nsɛm a ɛnnim too ne so sɛ,
58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another not made with hands.
“Yɛtee sɛ ɔkaa sɛ, ‘Mɛbubu asɔredan a wɔde nsa na ɛsii no, na mede nnansa asi foforɔ a wɔamfa nsa ansi!’”
59 And not even so did their testimony agree.
Na yei mpo, wɔn adanseɛ no anhyia.
60 And the high-priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Dost thou make no answer to what these men testify against thee?
Ɔsɔfopanin no sɔre gyinaa badwa no mfimfini bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Yei nso, wonni ho anoyie biara? Ɛdeɛn na wowɔ ka?”
61 But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high-priest asked him, and saith to him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
Yesu ammua no. Afei, Ɔsɔfopanin no bisaa no bio sɛ, “Wone Agyenkwa no, Onyankopɔn Ba no anaa?”
62 And Jesus said, I am; and ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Mene no, na mobɛhunu Onipa Ba no sɛ ɔte Onyankopɔn nifa, na ɔnam omununkum mu resane aba asase so.”
63 Then the high-priest rent his garments, and said, What further need have we of witnesses?
Yei maa Ɔsɔfopanin no sunsuanee nʼatadeɛ mu kaa sɛ, “Adansefoɔ bɛn na wɔn ho hia yɛn bio?
64 Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him as deserving the punishment of death.
Mo nyinaa ate abususɛm a ɔkaeɛ no. Ɛdeɛn na mowɔ ka?” Wɔn nyinaa gye too mu sɛ, ɔsɛ owuo.
65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face and buffet him, and say to him, Prophesy! And the officers, with blows, took him in charge.
Na ebinom tee ntasuo guu ne so, na wɔkyekyeree nʼani, na wɔbobɔɔ no akuturuku bisaa no sɛ “Wose woyɛ odiyifoɔ, kyerɛ yɛn onipa ko a ɔbɔɔ wo!” Na asomfoɔ a wɔde no rekɔ no bobɔɔ no asotorɔ.
66 And as Peter was below in the court, there cometh one of the maid-servants of the high-priest;
Ɛberɛ a na Petro te adihɔ hɔ no, Ɔsɔfopanin no mmaawa no mu baako baa hɔ;
67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, Thou too wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.
na ɔhunuu Petro sɛ ɔreto ogya no, ɔhwɛɛ no haa, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo nso wo ne Nasareni Yesu no na ɛnam!”
68 But he denied, saying, I do not know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the fore-court; and a cock crew.
Petro saneeɛ sɛ, “Mennim deɛ woreka yi ho hwee!” Na ɛhɔ ara na ɔfirii adi kɔtenaa nkyɛn baabi. Saa ɛberɛ no ara na akokɔ bɔnee.
69 And the maid-servant, seeing him, began again to say to those who were standing by, This is one of them.
Abaawa no sane hunuu no, na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ ka kyerɛɛ wɔn a ɔne wɔn nam no sɛ, “Yei nso ka wɔn ho. Ɔyɛ Yesu asuafoɔ no mu baako!”
70 And he denied it again. And shortly after, those who were standing by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them; for thou art a Galilaean.
Petro saneeɛ bio. Ɛkyɛɛ kakra no, nnipa a wɔgyina ogya no ho no hyɛɛ aseɛ ka kyerɛɛ Petro sɛ, “Woka wɔn ho, ɛfiri sɛ, woyɛ Galileani!”
71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
Petro hyɛɛ aseɛ kekaa ntam, dii nse sɛ, “Mennim saa onipa a moreka ne ho asɛm yi.”
72 And immediately a cock crew a second time. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus had said to him, Before a cock crows twice, thou wilt thrice deny me. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
Na ɛhɔ ara, akokɔ bɔnee deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu. Na Petro kaee Yesu asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Akokɔ remmɔn mprenu na woapa me mprɛnsa” no. Na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ suiɛ.
