Mark 12
1 And he began to be speaking unto them, in parables, —A man planted, a vineyard, and put round it a wall, and digged a wine-vat, and built a tower, —and let it out to husbandmen; and left home.
Yesu nam mmebu so kasa kyerɛɛ nnipa no se: “Okuafo bi yɛɛ bobeturo, gyee ban faa ho, na otuu amoa a wokyi bobe mu nsu wɔ mu, sii ɔwɛn aban wɔ mu. Afei ɔde afuw no gyaw akuafo bi tuu kwan.
2 And he sent forth, unto the husbandmen, in the season, a servant, that, from the husbandmen, he might receive of the fruits of the vineyard;
Eduu bere a bobe no bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtew no, ɔsomaa ne ho nipa bi se onkogye ne kyɛfa mmrɛ no.
3 and, taking him, they beat him, and sent him away, empty.
Nanso akuafo no boroo no, ma ɔde ne nsa pan san kɔe.
4 And, again, sent he forth unto them, another servant; and, him, they smote on the head, and dishonoured.
Okuafo no san somaa onipa foforo kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn, na ɔno nso, wɔboroo no, pirapiraa no sen nea odi kan no.
5 And another sent he forth; and, him, they slew. And many others; some, indeed beating, and, others, slaying.
Onipa a ɔsomaa no bio no de, wokum no. Afoforo a akyiri no wɔkɔe no nso, wɔhwee ebinom, na wokum ebinom nso.
6 Yet one, had he, a son beloved: he sent him forth last unto them, saying—They will pay deference unto my son!
“Nanso na aka ɔbaako a ɔyɛ ne ba a ɔdɔ no. Ɔsomaa ɔno nso kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn, susuw sɛ wɔbɛfɛre no de nidi ama no.
7 But, those husbandmen, unto themselves, said—This, is the heir: Come! let us slay him, and, ours, shall be, the inheritance.
“Nanso bere a akuafo no huu no sɛ ɔreba no, wɔkae se, ‘Ɔdedifo no na ɔreba no. Momma yenkum no, na agyapade no ayɛ yɛn de!’
8 And, taking, they slew him, and cast him forth outside the vineyard.
Wɔkyeree no kum no, twee no fii bobe turo mu hɔ kɔtow no kyenee baabi.
9 What will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come, and destroy the husbandmen, and let the vineyard unto others.
“Mugye di sɛ, sɛ afuw wura no ba a dɛn na ɔbɛyɛ akuafo no? Ɔbɛba abekum wɔn, na ɔde afuw no ama nnipa foforo.
10 Have ye not, this scripture, read—A stone which the builders rejected, the same, hath become head of the corner!
Monnkenkan eyi wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm no mu pɛn se: “‘Ɔbo a adansifo apo no, ɛno ara na abɛyɛ dan no twea so tibo;
11 From the Lord, hath this come to pass, and is marvellous in our eyes?
Awurade na wayɛ eyi, na ɛyɛ nwonwa wɔ yɛn ani so?’”
12 And they were seeking, to secure, him, —and were in fear of the multitude; for they perceived that, against them, the parable he had spoken. And, leaving him, they departed.
Na esiane saa bɛ a obui no nti, Yudafo mpanyin no pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere no, efisɛ wuhuu sɛ wɔn ho asɛm na ɔreka no a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, wɔne saa akuafo atirimɔdenfo no. Nanso na wosuro dɔm no. Eyi ma wogyaa no, na wofii hɔ kɔe.
13 And they send forth unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might, catch, him, in discourse.
Wɔsomaa Farisifo ne Herodefo bi baa Yesu nkyɛn sɛ wɔne no mmɛkasa, na wɔnam nʼanom asɛm so anya no akyere no.
14 And, coming, they say unto him—Teacher! we know that, true, thou art, and it concerneth thee not about anyone, —for thou lookest not unto the face of men; but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach: —Is it allowable to give tax unto Caesar, or not? Should we give, or should we not give?
Wobisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yenim sɛ woyɛ ɔnokwafo a wotaa ka nokware. Nea onipa ka no ntumi nnan wʼadwene. Afei wokyerɛkyerɛ nnipa Onyankopɔn akwan. Yɛpɛ sɛ yebisa wo se, eye sɛ woyi tow ma Roma Hempɔn Kaesare anaa enye?”
15 But, he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them—Why are ye, tempting, me? Bring me a denary, that I may see it.
Yesu huu wɔn adwemmɔne no kae se, “Adɛn nti na mosɔ me hwɛ, momfa sika a wɔde yi tow no bi nkyerɛ me, na mɛma mo mmuae.”
16 And, they, brought one. And he saith unto them—Whose, is this image, and the inscription? And, they, said unto him—Caesar’s.
Wɔde maa no ma obisaa wɔn se, “Hena mfoni ne nkyerɛw na ɛwɔ so?” Wobuae se, “Kaesare de.”
17 And, Jesus, said—the things of Caesar, render, unto Caesar, and, the things of God, unto God. And they were marvelling at him.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛno de momfa Kaesare de mma no, na momfa Onyankopɔn de mma Onyankopɔn!” Ne mmuae no maa wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.
18 And there come Sadducees unto him, —who, indeed say—Resurrection, there is none! and they were questioning him, saying—
Sadukifo a wɔka se owusɔre nni hɔ no baa ne nkyɛn bebisaa no se,
19 Teacher! Moses, wrote for us, that—If one’s brother die, and leave behind a wife, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
“Kyerɛkyerɛfo, Mose yɛɛ mmara maa yɛn se, sɛ ɔbarima bi anwo na owu a, ne nuabarima mfa ne yere no kunabea na ɔne no nwo mma mma owufo no.
20 Seven brethren, there were: and, the first, took a wife, and, dying, left no seed, —
Anuanom baason bi tenaa ase. Nea odi kan no waree yere a, ɔne no anwo na owui.
21 And, the second, took her, and died, not leaving behind seed, —and, the third, likewise, —
Nea ɔto so abien no nso waree okunafo no, na ɔno nso ankyɛ na owui a ɔne no anwo. Na nea ɔto so abiɛsa no nso waree no a, ɔne no anwo na owui.
22 And, the seven, left no seed; last of all, the woman also, died: —
Eyi kɔɔ so kosii sɛ anuanom yi nyinaa waree ɔbea no, na ɔbea no nso wui.
23 In the resurrection, —of, which, of them shall she be, wife? For, the seven, had her to wife.
Nea yɛpɛ sɛ yehu ne sɛ, owusɔre mu, sɛ wonya sɔre a, wɔn mu hena na ɔbea no bɛyɛ ne yere?”
24 Jesus said unto them—Are ye not, for this cause, deceiving yourselves, knowing neither the Scriptures, nor the power of God?
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mo mfomso a moyɛ no fi nim a munnim Kyerɛwsɛm no, ne Onyankopɔn tumi a ɔwɔ.
25 For, when, from among the dead, they rise, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like messengers in the heavens.
Sɛ anuanom baason yi ne ɔbea no sɔre fi awufo mu a, wɔrenware; wɔbɛyɛ sɛ abɔfo a wɔwɔ ɔsoro no.
26 But, as touching the dead, that they, do rise, —Have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying—I [am] the God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob: —
Afei nea ɛfa awufo nyan no ho nso, monkenkan Mose nhoma no mu asɛm a ɛfa Mose ne nwura a na ɛhyew no ho da? Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, ‘Mene Abraham Nyankopɔn, Isak Nyankopɔn ne Yakob Nyankopɔn.’
27 He is not a God of, dead, men, but of, living. Greatly, are ye deceiving yourselves.
Na Onyankopɔn reka akyerɛ Mose se, ɛwɔ mu sɛ saa nnipa yi awuwu mfe pii a atwam no de, nanso wɔte ase. Ɛnte saa a anka ɔrenka se ɔyɛ ateasefo Nyankopɔn, na ɔnyɛ awufo Nyankopɔn. Moayɛ mfomso kɛse.”
28 And one of the Scribes, coming near, hearing them discussing, seeing that, well, he had answered them, began to question him—Which is the chief commandment of all?
Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no mu baako a ogyina hɔ retie no huu sɛ, wabua wɔn sɛnea ɛfata no, obisaa no se, “Mose mmaransɛm no mu nea ɛwɔ he na ɛkyɛn ne nyinaa?”
29 Jesus answered—The chief is: Hear! O Israel, —The Lord our God, is, one Lord;
Yesu buaa no se, “Nea ɛkyɛn ne nyinaa ne nea ɛka se, ‘Israel, tie! Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Awurade koro;
30 Therefore shalt thou love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, —and with all thy mind; and with all thy strength.
na dɔ Awurade wo Nyankopɔn fi wo koma ne wo kra ne wʼadwene ne wʼahoɔden nyinaa mu,’ no.
31 The second, is, this—Thou shalt love, thy neighbour, as thyself. Greater than these, other commandment, is there none.
Na nea ɛto so abien no ne: ‘Dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho.’ Mmaransɛm bi nni hɔ a ɛkyɛn eyinom.”
32 The Scribe said unto him—Well, Teacher! in truth, hast thou said—He is, One, and there is none other, than he;
Kyerɛwsɛm no kyerɛkyerɛfo no buaa no se, “Owura, woaka nokware sɛ, Onyankopɔn baako pɛ na ɔwɔ hɔ, na obi foforo nka ne ho,
33 And, to love him, with all the heart, and with all the understanding, —and with all the might; and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self, is, abundantly more, than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
na minim nso sɛ, sɛ mɛdɔ no afi me koma ne mʼadwene ne mʼahoɔden nyinaa mu, na mɛdɔ me yɔnko sɛ me ho no, sen afɔre biara a wɔbɔ.”
34 And, Jesus, seeing him, that, with intelligence he answered, said unto him—Not far, [art thou] from the kingdom of God! And, no one, any longer, was daring to, question, him.
Yesu huu sɛ wabua asɛm no nyansa mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo ne Onyankopɔn ahenni ntam kwan nware.” Na saa asɛm yi akyi no, obi antumi ammisa no asɛm biara bio.
35 And Jesus, answering, was saying, as he taught in the temple—How say the Scribes that, the Christ, is, Son of David?
Bere bi a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan mu no, obisaa nnipa no se, “Adɛn na Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no ka se, ɛsɛ sɛ Agyenkwa no yɛ Ɔhene Dawid ba?
36 David himself, hath said, by the Holy Spirit, —The Lord, hath said unto, my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I put thy foes beneath thy feet.
Efisɛ Dawid ankasa nam Honhom Kronkron mu kae se, “‘Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me wura se: “Tena me nifa so kosi sɛ mede wʼatamfo bɛyɛ wo nan ntiaso.”’
37 David himself, calleth him, Lord: whence, then, is he, his own son? And, the great multitude, was hearing him gladly.
Sɛ Dawid frɛ no ‘Awurade’ a, ɛyɛɛ dɛn na Kristo no yɛ ne ba?” Ɔkwan a ɔfaa so kasaa no maa nnipa no de anigye tiee no.
38 And, in his teaching, he was saying—Beware of the Scribes, who desire, in robes, to be walking about, and salutations in the markets,
Bere bi a nnipakuw bi de anigye retie Yesu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monhwɛ mo ho yiye wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo ho! Wɔhyɛ ntade akɛse sɛ asikafo na sɛ wɔnam bagua mu a, wɔpɛ sɛ obiara a ohyia wɔn no de obu kyia wɔn.
39 And first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the chief meals, —
Sɛ wɔkɔ hyiadan mu a wɔtenatena mpanyin agua so, na sɛ wɔkɔ adidi ase a, wɔtena mpanyin tenabea.
40 Who devour widows’ houses, and, for a pretence, are long in prayer: these, shall receive a more surpassing judgment.
Wɔbɔ mpae atenten ma nnipa hu sɛ wɔresom Onyankopɔn, nanso wosisi akunafo. Eyi nti wobenya asotwe a emu yɛ duru.”
41 And, taking his seat over against the treasury, he was observing how, the multitude, was casting in copper into the treasury, and, man rich, were casting in, much.
Da bi a Yesu kɔɔ asɔredan mu no, ɔkɔtenaa afɔrebɔ adaka a esi hɔ no anim hwɛɛ sɛnea nkurɔfo no de sika regu adaka no mu. Asikafo no de sika a ɛdɔɔso guu mu.
42 And there came, one destitute, widow, and cast in two mites, which are, a farthing.
Ɔbea kunafo hiani bi nso bae, na ɔde sika nketewa abien beguu mu.
43 And, calling near his disciples, he said to them—Verily, I say unto you, this destitute widow, more than they all, hath cast in, of those casting into the treasury;
Ɔfrɛɛ nʼasuafo no baa ne nkyɛn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Saa ɔbea kunafo hiani yi afɔre a ɔbɔe no dɔɔso sen asikafo no nyinaa afɔrebɔde.
44 For, they all, out of their surplus, cast in, but, she, out of her deficiency, all, as much as she had, cast in, —the whole of her living.
Na wɔn nyinaa fi nea wɔanya ama abu wɔn so no mu na woyiyii bi de bae, na ɔbea yi de, ofi ne hia mu de nea ɔwɔ nyinaa na abegu mu no.”
