Mark 8
1 In those days, there being again a great multitude, and they having nothing to eat, he called the disciples to him, and saith to them,
Saa mmere no mu na nnipakuw foforo bi baa Yesu nkyɛn. Esiane sɛ na hwee nni hɔ a wobedi nti,
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have remained with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat.
Yesu frɛɛ nʼasuafo no baa ne nkyɛn, na ɔkae se, “Nnipa yi yɛ me mmɔbɔ. Wɔabedi nnansa wɔ ha a, wonni aduan biara a wobedi bio.
3 And if I send them away fasting to their houses, they will faint on the road; and some of them have come from altar.
Sɛ migya wɔn kwan sɛ wɔnkɔ a wonnidii a, anhwɛ a na wɔn mu bi atotɔ piti wɔ ɔkwan so, efisɛ wɔn mu bi fi akyirikyiri na wɔbae.”
4 And his disciples answered him, Whence can ally one satisfy these men with bread here in a wilderness?
Nʼasuafo no bisaa no se, “Ɛhefa na yebenya aduan ama saa nnipa dodow yi wɔ sare yi so ha?”
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
Obisaa wɔn se, “Brodo dodow ahe na mowɔ?” Wobuaa no se, “Yɛwɔ ason.”
6 And he ordered the multitude to lie down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nnipakuw no se wɔntenatena ase wɔ sare no so. Afei ɔfaa brodo ason no, na ohyiraa so, bubuu mu de maa nʼasuafo no ma wɔkyɛ maa nnipa no.
7 And they had a few small fishes; and having blessed them, he set them before them.
Na wɔwɔ mpataa kakra wɔ hɔ, nti Yesu hyiraa ɛno nso so de maa asuafo no sɛ wɔnkyɛ ɛno nso mma wɔn.
8 And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven baskets.
Nnipakuw no didi mee no, ogyaa wɔn kwan.
9 And they were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
Nnipa a wodii aduan no dodow bɛyɛ mpem anan. Na wɔtasee ase nnikae no, ɛyɛɛ kɛntɛn ason.
10 And immediately going on board the boat with his disciples, he came into the region of Dalmanutha.
Eyi akyi no ɔne nʼasuafo no kɔtenaa ɔkorow mu baa Dalmanuta fam.
11 And the Pharisees came out, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying him.
Farisifo no tee sɛ Yesu aba hɔ no, wɔbaa ne nkyɛn bebisabisaa no nsɛm, de sɔɔ no hwɛe. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne bi kyerɛ yɛn. Ma nsɛnkyerɛnne bi nna adi wɔ wim nkyerɛ yɛn. Ɛno ansa na yebegye wo adi.”
12 And sighing deeply in his spirit, he saith, Why doth this generation seek for a sign? Truly do I say to you, A sign will not he given to this generation.
Yesu tee nea wɔkae no, oguu ahome ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Dɛn nti na mohwehwɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne daa yi? Nsɛnkyerɛnne biara nni hɔ a mɛyɛ akyerɛ mo.”
13 And leaving them, he again went on board and crossed to the other side.
Ɔsan kɔtenaa ɔkorow no mu gyaw wɔn, twa kɔɔ asuogya nohɔ.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.
Asuafo no werɛ fii sɛ wɔfa aduan bi kura ansa na wɔkɔ, gye brodo baako pɛ na na wokura wɔ ɔkorow no mu.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.
Wɔretwa asu no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monhwɛ mo ho so yiye wɔ Ɔhene Herode ne Farisifo mmɔkaw ho.”
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
Asuafo no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Asɛm a ɔreka yi ase ne dɛn?” Nea wɔn adwene kyerɛɛ wɔn ne sɛ, ebia ɔreka aduan a wɔn werɛ fii sɛ wɔbɛfa akita no ho asɛm.
17 And knowing it, he saith to them, Why are ye reasoning, because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your mind still blinded?
Yesu huu nea wodwinnwen no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛnyɛ ɛno ho asɛm na mereka! Monnte eyi ase ana? Mo koma da so pirim?
18 Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? And do ye not remember,
Mowɔ ani nso munhu ade? Mowɔ aso nso momfa nte asɛm? Na monnkae biribi ana?
19 when I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many baskets full of fragments ye took up? They say to him, Twelve.
Bere a mibubuu brodo anum mu maa nnipa mpem anum no, nnikae kɛntɛn ahe na motasee?” Wɔkae se, “Dumien.”
20 When also the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? And they say, Seven.
“Na mesan de brodo ason maa nnipa mpem anan no nso, ahe na ɛkae?” Wɔkae se, “Nkɛntɛn ason.”
21 And he said to them, Do ye not yet understand?
Obisaa wɔn bio se, “Monnte ase ara ana?”
22 And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.
Bere a woduu Betsaida no, nnipa bi de onifuraefo bi brɛɛ no, srɛɛ no sɛ ɔmfa ne nsa nka no, na ɔnsa no yare.
23 And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the village; and spitting on his eyes, and putting his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
Yesu soo onifuraefo yi nsa de no kɔɔ akuraa no kurotia. Ɔtee ntasu guu onifuraefo no ani so, na ɔde ne nsa guu no so. Yesu bisaa no se, “Wuhu ade ana?”
24 And he looked up, and said, I can see men, for I see them as trees, walking.
Onifuraefo no maa nʼani so hwɛɛ soro, buae se, “Yiw, mihu nnipa! Nanso mihu wɔn sɛ nnua bi na wɔnenam hɔ.”
25 Then he again put his hands on his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and saw all things distinctly.
Afei Yesu de ne nsa kataa nʼani no so bio. Onifuraefo no buee nʼani, na bere a ɔrehwɛ ade haa no, nʼani no yɛɛ yiye a afei de na ohu biribiara kann.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Go not into the village.
Yesu ma ɔkɔɔ fie, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nnsan nnkɔ akuraa no ase bio.”
27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no fii Galilea kɔɔ Kaesarea ne Filipi nkuraa ase. Wɔnam ɔkwan so rekɔ no, obisaa wɔn se, “Nnipa ka se mene hena?”
28 And they answered him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.
Asuafo no buae se, “Ebinom se wone Osuboni Yohane no, na afoforo nso se woyɛ Elia anaasɛ tete adiyifo no mu bi a wasan aba.”
29 And he asked them, But who do ye say that I am? Peter answering saith to him, Thou art the Christ.
Na obisaa wɔn se, “Na mo nso mose meyɛ hena?” Petro buaa no se, “Wone Kristo no.”
30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one concerning him.
Ɔbɔɔ wɔn kɔkɔ se, wɔnnka nkyerɛ obiara.
31 And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days rise again;
Afei ofii ase kaa Onipa Ba no amane a obehu ne mpanyimfo, asɔfo mpanyin ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no po a wɔbɛpo no, na wɔakum no, na nnansa so wasɔre no ho asɛm kyerɛɛ wɔn.
32 and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
Ɔkaa asɛm no pefee a wamfa biribiara anhintaw wɔn. Petro twee no gyinaa nkyɛn bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na woka asɛm a ɛte sɛɛ yi?”
33 But he turning about and looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan! for thy thoughts are not on the things of God, but on those of men.
Yesu dan ne ho hwɛɛ nʼasuafo no kaa Petro anim se, “Fi me so, Ɔbonsam! Wʼadwene yɛ nea efi onipa na ɛnyɛ nea efi Onyankopɔn.”
34 And calling the multitude to him with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever chooseth to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Afei ɔfrɛɛ nʼasuafo no ne nnipakuw no baa ne nkyɛn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se: “Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ odi mʼakyi a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔpa ne ho akyi, na ɔsoa nʼasennua, na odi mʼakyi.
35 For whoever chooseth to save his life, will lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for the sake of me and of the glad tidings, will save it.
Nea ɔma ne kra som no bo no, ebefi ne nsa. Na nea me ne asɛmpa no nti, ɔbɛhwere ne kra no, wobegye no nkwa.
36 For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
Na sɛ onipa nya wiase nyinaa na ɔhwere ne kra a mfaso bɛn na obenya?
37 For what can a man give as an exchange for his life?
Dɛn na ɛsom bo sen ne kra?
38 For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will also the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Na obiara a saa nnabɔne yi mu nʼani wu me ne me nsɛm ho no, ne ho bɛyɛ me, Onipa Ba no aniwu, bere a me ne mʼabɔfo kronkron no bɛsan aba wɔ mʼAgya anuonyam mu no.”
