Mark 10
1 Jesus then rose from there and went to the region of Judea, traveling through the region beyond the Jordan, and crowds gathered around him again. And again he taught them, as he was accustomed to do.
Afei Yesu fii Galilea twa baa Yudea fam nohɔ wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan agya. Nnipakuw baa ne nkyɛn, na sɛnea ɔtaa yɛ no ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn.
2 Then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
Farisifo bi baa ne nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Wopene awaregyae so ana?” Wobisaa no eyi de sɔɔ no hwɛe.
3 He answered them, “What did Moses command you?”
Yesu nso bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na Mose ka faa awaregyae ho?”
4 They said, “Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away.”
Wobuae se, “Mose kaa se eye sɛ wogyae aware. Nʼasɛm a ɔkae ne sɛ, sɛ ɔbarima bi pɛ sɛ ogyaa ne yere aware a ɔnkyerɛw awaregyae krataa mfa mma ne yere no.”
5 But Jesus answered them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na ɔkaa saa? Merebɛkyerɛ mo nea enti a ɔkaa saa. Esiane mo koma a apirim no nti na ɔkaa saa kyerɛɛ mo.
6 But from the beginning of creation, God ‘made them male and female.’
Nanso eyi mfi Onyankopɔn. Efi adebɔ mfiase na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔbarima ne ɔbea kaa wɔn bɔɔ mu.
7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
Eyi nti na ɔbarima begyaw nʼagya ne ne na,
8 and the two will become one flesh.’ So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh.
na ɔde ne ho akɔbɔ ne yere ho, na wɔn baanu no ayɛ ɔhonam koro.
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
Na nea Onyankopɔn aka abɔ mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ onipa tetew mu.”
10 When they were back in the house, Jesus' disciples asked him about the same subject.
Akyiri a na ɔne nʼasuafo no wɔ fie no, asuafo no bisaa no saa asɛm koro no ara bio.
11 So he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
Obuaa wɔn se, “Sɛ obi gyaa ne yere aware na ɔsan ware obi foforo a na wabɔ aguaman.
12 And if a woman divorces her husband and gets married to another, she commits adultery.”
Na sɛ ɔyere gyaa ne kunu aware na ɔsan ware a, na ɔno nso abɔ aguaman saa ara.”
13 Now people were bringing children to Jesus so that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
Na awofo bi de mmofra nkumaa brɛɛ Yesu se onhyira wɔn, nanso nʼasuafo no pampam wɔn a wɔde mmofra no bae no, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, wɔnnhaw no.
14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to me; do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Yesu huu nea nʼasuafo no ayɛ no, anyɛ no dɛ na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momma mmofra no kwan na wɔmmra me nkyɛn, na munnsiw wɔn kwan, na eyinom sɛɛ na Onyankopɔn ahenni no yɛ wɔn dea.
15 Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it.”
Mereka akyerɛ mo se, obiara a ɔrennye Onyankopɔn ahenni no sɛ abofra no, ɔrentumi nhyɛn mu.”
16 And taking the children in his arms, he laid his hands on them and blessed them.
Na ɔyɛɛ wɔn atuu, de ne nsa guu wɔn so hyiraa wɔn.
17 As he was setting out on the road, a man ran up, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Na osii mu sɛ ɔrekɔ baabi foforo no, ɔbarima bi tutuu mmirika baa ne nkyɛn bebuu no nkotodwe bisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo pa, dɛn na menyɛ na manya nkwa a enni awiei?” (aiōnios g166)
18 Jesus said to him, “Why do yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone.
Yesu bisaa no se “Adɛn na wofrɛ me papa? Obiara nyɛ papa gye ɔbaako; ɔne Onyankopɔn.
19 Yoʋ know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not give false testimony, Do not defraud, Honor yoʋr father and mother.’”
Ɛfa wʼasɛmmisa no ho nso, wunim mmaransɛm no: ‘Mmɔ aguaman! Nni awu! Mmɔ korɔn! Nni adansekurum! Di wʼagya ne wo na ni!’”
20 The man answered him, “Teacher, I have kept all these commandments from the time I was a young boy.”
Aberante no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, eyinom nyinaa mifi me mmofraase na midii so.”
21 As Jesus looked at him, he felt love for the man and said to him, “One thing yoʋ lack: Go and sell all that yoʋ have and give to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven. Then take up yoʋr cross and come follow me.”
Yesu hwɛɛ aberante yi dinn, nyaa ɔdɔ bi maa no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Aka wo ade baako. Kɔ na kɔtɔn biribiara a wowɔ, na fa sika no ma ahiafo, na wubenya agyapade wɔ ɔsoro, na bra bedi mʼakyi.”
22 But the man was dejected by what Jesus said and went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.
Aberante no tee saa asɛm no nʼanim sesae, na ɔde awerɛhow kɔe, efisɛ na ɔwɔ ahonyade bebree.
23 Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!”
Ɔrekɔ no, Yesu hwɛɛ no na ɔdan ne ho ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Ɛyɛ den ma ɔdefo sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu!”
24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!
Asɛm a Yesu kaa no maa asuafo no ho dwiriw wɔn. Yesu san kaa bio se, “Me mma, sɛ moahu den a ɛyɛ ma wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonyade sɛ wɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu?
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
Na ɛyɛ mmerɛw sɛ yoma bɛfa pane aniwa mu sen sɛ ɔdefo bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu.”
26 They were completely astonished at this and said to one another, “Who then can be saved?”
Asuafo no ho dwiriw wɔn mmoroso na wobisaa no se, “Ɛno de, na hena na wobegye no nkwa?”
27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
Yesu hwɛɛ wɔn dinn kae se, “Onipa fam de, ɛyɛ den, na Onyankopɔn fam de, biribiara betumi aba mu.”
28 Peter began to say to him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed yoʋ.”
Afei Petro fii ase kenkan nneɛma a ɔne asuafo no agyaw abedi Yesu akyi. Ɔkae se, “Yagyaw biribiara abedi wʼakyi.”
29 Jesus answered, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house, brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the gospel,
Yesu nso buaa no se, “Merema mo ate ase sɛ, obi nni hɔ a me nti wagyaw ofi, nuabarimanom, nuabeanom, ɛna, agya ne mma anaasɛ agyapade a ɔbɛkɔ akɔka Asɛmpa no,
31 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.”
Na adikanfo pii bedi akyi, na akyikafo abedi kan.”
32 Now they were on the road going up to Jerusalem. Jesus was walking ahead of them, and they were amazed. But as they followed they became afraid. Again he took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to him:
Afei wosii mu sɛ wɔrekɔ Yerusalem a na Yesu di wɔn kan; na bere a asuafo no di nʼakyi no, ehu ne osuro kaa wɔn. Yesu twee wɔn gyinaa nkyɛn, na ɔsan kaa nneɛma a sɛ wodu Yerusalem a ɛbɛba ne so no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
33 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn him to death and hand him over to the Gentiles.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛ yedu hɔ a wobeyi me, Onipa Ba no ama asɔfo mpanyin ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo, na wɔabu me kumfɔ, na wɔde me ahyɛ Roma aban nsa, na wɔakum me.
34 They will mock him, flog him, spit on him, and kill him. But on the third day he will rise again.”
Wobedi me ho fɛw, na wɔatete ntasu agu me so, na wɔde mpire atwa me mmaa, na wɔakum me, na nnansa so no, masɔre bio.”
35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said, “Teacher, we want yoʋ to do for us whatever we ask.”
Afei Sebedeo mma Yakobo ne Yohane baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yɛpɛ sɛ woyɛ yɛn adɔe bi.”
36 So he said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na mopɛ sɛ meyɛ ma mo?”
37 They said to him, “Grant that one of us may sit on yoʋr right and the other on yoʋr left in yoʋr glory.”
Wobuae se, “Ma yɛn mu baako ntena wo nifa so, na ɔbaako nso ntena wo benkum so wɔ wʼahenni mu hɔ!”
38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
Yesu maa wɔn mmuae se, “Munnim nea mubisa no! Mubetumi anom awerɛhow kuruwa nwenweenwen a ɛsɛ sɛ menom ano no ana? Anaasɛ mubetumi ama wɔde amanehunu asubɔ no abɔ mo asu?”
39 They said to him, “We are able.” Then Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with,
Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yebetumi!” Na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mubetumi anom me kuruwa ano, na wɔde asubɔ a wɔde bɔ me no abɔ mo;
40 but to sit on my right and on my left is not mine to give, but is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
nanso minni tumi sɛ miyi wɔn a wɔbɛtena me nifa anaa me benkum so no. Onyankopɔn nko ara na ɔde saa afa no bɛma wɔn a wɔasiesie hɔ ama wɔn no.”
41 When the ten heard this, they started becoming indignant with James and John.
Asuafo a wɔaka no tee nea Yakobo ne Yohane kobisaa no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ.
42 So Jesus called them over and said to them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.
Enti Yesu frɛɛ wɔn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munim sɛ ahene ne atumfo a wɔwɔ wiase no di wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn ase no so,
43 But it shall not be so among you. Instead, whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,
nanso mo de, ɛnte saa wɔ mo ho. Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkɛse wɔ mo mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ mo somfo.
44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to all.
Na obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ne nuanom so panyin no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ wɔn nyinaa akoa.
45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Onipa Ba no amma sɛ wɔnsom no, na mmom ɔbɛsomee, na ɔde ne kra too hɔ sɛ mpata maa nnipa nyinaa.”
46 Then they came to Jericho. Now as Jesus was leaving Jericho, along with his disciples and a large crowd, the blind man Bartimaeus, son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road begging.
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no beduu Yeriko. Wɔrefi kurow no mu no, nnipakuw tu dii wɔn akyi. Saa bere a Yesu retwa mu no, na onifuraefo Bartimeo a ne din nkyerɛase ne “Timoteo ba” no te kwankyɛn resrɛsrɛ ade.
47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Son of David, Jesus, have mercy on me!”
Bere a Bartimeo tee sɛ Yesu Nasareni na ɔretwam no, ofii ase teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Dawid Ba Yesu, hu me mmɔbɔ!”
48 Many people began rebuking him, telling him to be silent, but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Nnipa no bi teɛteɛɛ no se, “Mua wʼano!” Nanso ɔkɔɔ so teɛteɛɛ mu dennen se, “Dawid ba, hu me mmɔbɔ!”
49 Then Jesus stopped and asked for him to be called over. So they called out to the blind man and said to him, “Take courage and get up; he is calling for yoʋ.”
Bere a Yesu tee ne nne no, ogyina kae se, “Momfrɛ no mma me.” Wɔfrɛɛ onifuraefo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ma wo bo ntɔ wo yam, sɔre na ɔrefrɛ wo!”
50 Throwing off his cloak, he rose and came to Jesus.
Bartimeo tow ne ntama gui, sɔre baa Yesu nkyɛn.
51 Then Jesus said to him, “What do yoʋ want me to do for yoʋ?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, I want to receive my sight.”
Yesu bisaa no se, “Dɛn na wopɛ sɛ meyɛ ma wo?” Onifuraefo no buae se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, mepɛ sɛ mihu ade!”
52 Jesus said to him, “Go; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.” Immediately he received his sight and began following Jesus on the road.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ, na wo gyidi agye wo.” Na ntɛm ara onifuraefo no huu ade, na odii Yesu akyi.
