Mark 2
1 When he came back to Capernaum after a few days, it was heard that he was at home.
Nna bi akyi no, Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum bio. Oduu hɔ no nnipa pii tee sɛ waba hɔ.
2 So many gathered there that there was no more space, not even at the door, and Jesus spoke the word to them.
Ankyɛ na nnipa bebree bɛhyɛɛ ofi a na ɔwɔ mu no mu ma tɔ. Ɔkaa asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
3 Then some men came to him who were bringing a paralyzed man; four people were carrying him.
Mmarima baanan bi de obubuafo bi a wɔso no baa hɔ.
4 When they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof that was above Jesus, and after they made an opening, they lowered the bed the paralyzed man was lying on.
Esiane sɛ na wontumi mfa nnipadɔm no mu nkɔ Yesu nkyɛn no nti, wɔforoo ɔdan a Yesu wɔ mu no, kotuu tokuru wɔ atifi. Wɔde obubuafo a ɔda ne kɛtɛ so no faa mu, gyaagyaa no brɛoo de no kɔtoo Yesu anim.
5 Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
Yesu huu wɔn gyidi a wɔwɔ wɔ ne mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔyarefo no se, “Ɔba, wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo!”
6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, and they reasoned in their hearts,
Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo a wɔwɔ hɔ no tee nea Yesu kae no, wɔdwenee wɔ wɔn tirim
7 “How can this man speak this way? He blasphemes! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
se, “Asɛm bɛn na ɔreka yi! Abususɛm na ɔreka yi! Osusuw sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn? Onyankopɔn nko na otumi de bɔne kyɛ.”
8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit what they were thinking among themselves. He said to them, “Why are you thinking this in your hearts?
Mpofirim na Yesu huu wɔn adwene ma obisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn na moma asɛm a mekae yi haw mo?
9 What is easier to say to the paralyzed man, 'Your sins are forgiven' or to say 'Get up, take up your bed, and walk'?
Nea ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ mmerɛw: sɛ wɔbɛka akyerɛ obubuafo yi se, ‘Wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo,’ anaa wɔbɛka se, ‘Sɔre, fa wo kɛtɛ na nantew?’
10 But in order that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” he said to the paralytic,
Nanso sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na mubehu sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi wɔ asase so sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ,” Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafo no se,
11 “I say to you, get up, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
“Mise wo sɛ, sɔre gyina hɔ, fa wo kɛtɛ, na kɔ fie.”
12 He got up and immediately took up the mat, and went out of the house in front of everyone, so that they were all amazed and they gave glory to God, and they said, “We never saw anything like this.”
Obubuafo yi sɔre bobɔw ne kɛtɛ, na ɔde anigye ne ahosɛpɛw faa nnipadɔm no mu kɔe. Nnipa no ho dwiriw wɔn ma wɔkamfoo Onyankopɔn se, “Yenhuu eyi bi da!”
13 He went out again by the lake, and all the crowd came to him, and he taught them.
Yesu san kɔɔ mpoano hɔ bio, na ɔkaa asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ nnipakuw a wɔahyia wɔ hɔ no.
14 As he passed by, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector's tent and he said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.
Bere a ɔnam mpoano hɔ no, ohuu Alfeo ba Lewi sɛ ɔte atowgyei. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Di mʼakyi.” Na Lewi sɔre dii nʼakyi.
15 Jesus was having a meal in Levi's house and many tax collectors and sinful people were dining with him and his disciples, for there were many and they followed him.
Saa anadwofa no, Lewi too pon, too nsa frɛɛ ne mfɛfo towgyefo ne nnebɔneyɛfo bi sɛ wɔmmra na ɔne wɔn ne Yesu ne nʼasuafo no nto nsa nnidi. Nnipa a wodii Yesu akyi no bi te sɛ Lewi ara pɛ.
16 When the scribes, who were Pharisees, saw that Jesus was eating with the sinful people and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinful people?”
Farisifo no huu sɛ ɔne nnebɔneyɛfo ne towgyefo ato nsa redidi no, wobisaa nʼasuafo no se, “Adɛn nti na ɔne towgyefo ne nnebɔneyɛfo to nsa didi?”
17 When Jesus heard this he said to them, “People who are strong in body do not need a physician; only people who are sick need one. I did not come to call righteous people, but sinful people.”
Yesu tee nea wɔkae no, obuaa wɔn se, “Wɔn a wɔwɔ ahoɔden no, ɔyaresafo ho nhia wɔn, na wɔn a wɔyare no na ɔyaresafo ho hia wɔn. Mamma sɛ merebɛka akyerɛ atreneefo sɛ wɔnsakra wɔn adwene na mmom, nnebɔneyɛfo.”
18 Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and said to him, “Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?”
Da bi a Osuboni Yohane akyidifo ne Farisifo no redi mmuada no, nnipa bi kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na Yohane ne Farisifo no akyidifo di mmuada na wʼakyidifo de, wonni mmuada?”
19 Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding attendants fast while the bridegroom is still with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Yesu nso bisaa wɔn se, “Moahu ayeforokunu nnamfo a wɔbɛba ayeforo ase a wɔbɛka se, wɔredi mmuada nti wɔrennidi ana? Mmere dodow a wɔne ayeforokunu no nam no de, wɔrenni mmuada da.
20 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and in those days, they will fast.
Na da bi bɛba a, wɔbɛfa ayeforokunu no afi wɔn nkyɛn. Saa bere no na wobedi mmuada.
21 No man sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment, otherwise the patch will tear away from it, the new from the old, and there will be a worse tear.
“Ɛte sɛ wode ntama foforo atare ntama dedaw mu. Dɛn na ɛba? Ntaremu no bɛtew ntama dedaw no mu, na ayi afi mu, na ama tokuru a ɛda hɔ no aso asen kan de no.
22 No man puts new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the wine will burst the skins and both the wine and the wineskins will be lost. Instead, put new wine into fresh wineskins.”
Munim sɛ wɔmfa nsa foforo ngu aboa nhoma nkotoku dedaw mu. Anyɛ saa a, ɛbɛpae. Nsa no behwie agu, na nkotoku a nsa no wɔ mu no nso bɛpaapae. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsa foforo gu nkotoku foforo mu.”
23 On the Sabbath day Jesus went through some grainfields, and his disciples began to pick heads of grain.
Homeda bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafo nam aburowfuw bi mu no, asuafo no pempan aburow no bi wee.
24 The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing something that is not lawful on the Sabbath day?”
Farisifo no bi ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Hwɛ, adɛn na wɔreyɛ nea etia mmara Homeda?”
25 He said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry—he and the men who were with him—
Yesu nso bisaa wɔn se, “Monnkenkan nea Ɔhene Dawid yɛe, bere a ɔkɔm dee ɔne wɔn a na wɔka ne ho no,
26 how he went into the house of God when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the presence, which it is unlawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he even gave some to those who were with him?”
ne sɛnea ɔkɔɔ Onyankopɔn fi wɔ Ɔsɔfopanyin Abiatar bere so, na ɔne wɔn a wɔka ne ho kodii brodo a wɔde abɔ afɔre ama Onyankopɔn no, a obiara nni ho kwan sɛ odi, gye asɔfo nko ara no pɛ? Na ɛno nso tia mmara.
27 Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for mankind, not mankind for the Sabbath.
“Onipa nti na wɔyɛɛ Homeda, na ɛnyɛ Homeda nti na wɔbɔɔ onipa.
28 Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord, even of the Sabbath.”
Enti Onipa Ba no yɛ Homeda so wura mpo!”
