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,
Ɛda koro bi a nnipakuo bi aba Yesu nkyɛn no, aduane a wɔdi no saeɛ.
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have remained with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat.
Yesu frɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Nnipa yi yɛ me mmɔbɔ. Wɔabɛdi nnansa wɔ ha a, wɔnni aduane biara a wɔbɛdi 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 megya wɔn ɛkwan sɛ wɔnkɔ a wonnidiiɛ a, anhwɛ a na wɔn mu bi atotɔ baha wɔ ɛkwan so, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn mu bi firi akyirikyiri na wɔbaeɛ.”
4 And his disciples answered him, Whence can ally one satisfy these men with bread here in a wilderness?
Nʼasuafoɔ no bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛhefa na yɛbɛnya aduane ama saa nnipa dodoɔ yi wɔ ɛserɛ yi so ha?”
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Burodo ahe na mowɔ?” Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Yɛwɔ nson.”
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 nnipakuo no sɛ wɔntenatena ase wɔ ɛserɛ no so. Afei, ɔfaa burodo nson no, na ɔhyiraa so, bubuu mu de maa nʼasuafoɔ 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, enti Yesu hyiraa ɛno nso so, de maa asuafoɔ 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.
Nnipakuo no didi meeɛ no, ɔgyaa wɔn ɛkwan.
9 And they were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
Nnipa a wɔdii aduane no dodoɔ bɛyɛ mpemnan. Na wɔtasee aseɛ nnikaeɛ no, ɛyɛɛ nkɛntɛmma nson.
10 And immediately going on board the boat with his disciples, he came into the region of Dalmanutha.
Yei akyi no, ɔne nʼasuafoɔ no kɔtenaa kodoɔ 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.
Farisifoɔ no tee sɛ Yesu aba hɔ no, wɔbaa ne nkyɛn bɛbisabisaa no nsɛm, de sɔɔ no hwɛɛ. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi kyerɛ yɛn. Ma nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi nna adi wɔ ewiem nkyerɛ yɛn. Ɛno ansa na yɛbɛgye 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 deɛ wɔkaeɛ no, ɔguu ahome, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Deɛn enti na mohwehwɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ daa yi? Nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ biara nni hɔ a mɛyɛ akyerɛ mo.”
13 And leaving them, he again went on board and crossed to the other side.
Ɔsane kɔtenaa kodoɔ no mu, gyaa wɔn, tware kɔɔ asuogya nohoa.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.
Asuafoɔ no werɛ firii sɛ wɔfa aduane bi kura ansa na wɔakɔ. Aduane a na wɔkura wɔ kodoɔ no mu no yɛ burodo baako pɛ.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.
Wɔretwa asuo no no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monhwɛ mo ho so yie wɔ Ɔhene Herode ne Farisifoɔ mmɔreka ho.”
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
Asuafoɔ no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Asɛm a ɔreka yi ase ne sɛn?” Deɛ wɔn adwene kyerɛɛ wɔn ne sɛ, ebia ɔreka aduane a wɔn werɛ firii sɛ wɔbɛfa akuta 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 hunuu deɛ wɔdwennwene no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ ɛno ho asɛm na mereka! Monnte yei ase anaa? Mo akoma 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 monhunu adeɛ? Mowɔ aso nso momfa nte asɛm? Na monnkae biribi anaa?
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.
Ɛberɛ a mebubuu burodo enum mu maa nnipa mpemnum no, nnikaeɛ nkɛntɛmma ahe na motaseeɛ?” Wɔkaa sɛ, “Dumienu.”
20 When also the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? And they say, Seven.
“Na mesane de burodo nson maa nnipa mpemnan no nso, ahe na ɛkaeɛ?” Wɔkaa sɛ, “Nkɛntɛmma nson.”
21 And he said to them, Do ye not yet understand?
Ɔbisaa wɔn bio sɛ, “Monnte ase ara anaa?”
22 And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.
Ɛberɛ a wɔduruu Betsaida no, nnipa bi de onifirani bi brɛɛ no, srɛɛ no sɛ ɔmfa ne nsa nka no, na ɔnsa no yadeɛ.
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 sɔɔ onifirani yi nsa de no kɔɔ akuraa no kurotia. Ɔtee ntasuo guu onifirani no ani so, na ɔde ne nsa guu no so. Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Wohunu adeɛ anaa?”
24 And he looked up, and said, I can see men, for I see them as trees, walking.
Onifirani no maa nʼani so hwɛɛ ɔsoro, buaa sɛ, “Aane, mehunu nnipa! Nanso mehunu 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. Onifirani no buee nʼani, na ɛberɛ a ɔrehwɛ adeɛ haa no, nʼani no yɛɛ yie a afei deɛ na ɔhunu biribiara kann.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Go not into the village.
Yesu ma ɔkɔɔ efie, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nsane nkɔ 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 nʼasuafoɔ no firi Galilea kɔɔ Kaesarea ne Filipi nkuraa ase. Wɔnam ɛkwan so rekɔ no, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Nnipa ka sɛ mene hwan?”
28 And they answered him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.
Asuafoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Ebinom se wone Yohane Osubɔni no, na afoforɔ nso se woyɛ Elia anaasɛ tete adiyifoɔ no mu bi a wasane aba.”
29 And he asked them, But who do ye say that I am? Peter answering saith to him, Thou art the Christ.
Na ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Na mo nso mose meyɛ hwan?” Petro buaa no sɛ, “Wone Kristo no.”
30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one concerning him.
Ɔbɔɔ wɔn kɔkɔ sɛ, 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, ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ Onipa Ba no bɛhunu amane, na mpanimfoɔ, asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no bɛpo no, na wɔakum no, na nnansa so, Onipa Ba no bɛsɔre.
32 and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
Ɔkaa asɛm no pefee a wamfa biribiara ansie wɔn. Petro twee no gyinaa nkyɛn, bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti 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 danee ne ho hwɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no, kaa Petro anim sɛ, “Firi me so, ɔbonsam! Wʼadwene yɛ deɛ ɛfiri onipa na ɛnyɛ deɛ ɛfiri 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 nʼasuafoɔ no ne nnipakuo no baa ne nkyɛn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmɛtie no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔdi mʼakyi a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔpa ne ho akyi, na ɔsoa nʼasɛnnua, na ɔdi 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.
Deɛ ɔma ne ɔkra som no bo no, ɛbɛfiri ne nsa. Na deɛ me ne Asɛmpa no enti, ɔbɛhwere ne kra no, wɔbɛgye ne nkwa.
36 For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
Na sɛ onipa nya ewiase nyinaa, na ɔhwere ne kra a, mfasoɔ bɛn na ɔbɛnya?
37 For what can a man give as an exchange for his life?
Ɛdeɛn na ɛsom bo sene 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 nna bɔne yi mu nʼani wu me ne me nsɛm ho no, ne ho bɛyɛ me, Onipa Ba no, aniwu ɛberɛ a me ne mʼabɔfoɔ kronkron no bɛsane aba wɔ mʼAgya animuonyam mu no.”
