Luke 20
1 And it came to pass, [that] on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon [him], with the elders,
Ɛda bi a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan mu no, asɔfoɔ mpanin, Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ ne ɔman no mu mpanin kɔbisaa no sɛ,
2 And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
“Tumi bɛn na wowɔ a wode yɛ saa nneɛma yi; na hwan nso na ɔmaa wo saa tumi no?”
3 And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Me nso mewɔ asɛm bi bisa mo. Monka nkyerɛ me.
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
Tumi bɛn na Yohane de bɔɔ asu; ɛfiri Onyankopɔn anaa ɛfiri nnipa?”
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
Wɔfaa ho adwene kaa sɛ, “Sɛ yɛka sɛ, ɛfiri Onyankopɔn a, ɔbɛbisa yɛn sɛ, ‘ɛnneɛ, adɛn enti na moannye no anni?’
6 But if we say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
Sɛ nso yɛka sɛ, ɛfiri onipa a, ɔman mu no nyinaa bɛsi yɛn aboɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔnim sɛ Yohane yɛ odiyifoɔ.”
7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence [it was].
Ɛwiee aseɛ no, wɔbuaeɛ sɛ, “Yɛnnim.”
8 And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Yesu nso ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ me nso meremma mo mo asɛmmisa no ho mmuaeɛ.”
9 Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
Yesu buu wɔn ɛbɛ bi sɛ, “Ɔbarima bi yɛɛ bobefuo de hyɛɛ apaafoɔ bi nsa sɛ wɔnhwɛ so mma no. Yei akyi ɔtuu kwan kɔɔ akyirikyiri baabi, kɔtenaa hɔ kyɛree.
10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent [him] away empty.
Bobeteɛ berɛ duruiɛ no, ɔbarima yi somaa ne ɔsomfoɔ sɛ ɔnkɔgye aduaba no bi mmrɛ no. Nanso, apaafoɔ no boroo no, ma ɔsane kɔɔ nsapan.
11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty.
Ɔsomaa ɔsomfoɔ foforɔ maa ɔno nso wɔboroo no, bɔɔ no adapaa, ma ɔkɔɔ nsapan.
12 And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast [him] out.
Ɔsane somaa ɔsomfoɔ foforɔ na ɔno mpo deɛ, wɔpirapiraa no pamoo no.
13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be when they see him they will reverence him.
“Yei maa bobefuo wura no kaa sɛ, ‘Ɛdeɛn na menyɛ bio? Mɛsoma me ba a medɔ no no akɔ wɔn nkyɛn na ɔno deɛ ebia, wɔbɛfɛre no.’
14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
“Nanso, ɛberɛ a apaafoɔ no hunuu no no, wɔkaa sɛ, ‘Ɔdedifoɔ no nie, momma yɛnkum no na yɛmfa nʼagyapadeɛ no.’
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed [him]. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
Wɔtwee no firii afuo no mu kɔkumm no. “Mogye di sɛ ɛdeɛn na afuowura no bɛyɛ saa apaafoɔ yi?
16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said, may that never be.
Ɔbɛba abɛkum saa apaafoɔ yi na ɔde afuo no ama afoforɔ.” Nnipa a wɔretie Yesu no kaa sɛ, “Ɛmpare yɛn!”
17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
Yesu hwɛɛ wɔn dinn bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ na deɛ wɔatwerɛ sɛ, “‘Ɛboɔ a adansifoɔ apo no, ɛno ara na abɛyɛ tweatiboɔ’ no aseɛ ne sɛn?
18 Whoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Obiara a ɔbɛhwe ɛboɔ no so no, ɔbɛbubu na deɛ ɛboɔ no bɛhwe ne so no, ɛbɛpɛkyɛ no.”
19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
Esiane sɛ Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ ne asɔfoɔ mpanin no hunuu sɛ Yesu buu ɛbɛ no tiaa wɔn enti, wɔhwehwɛɛ ɛkwan a wɔbɛfa so akyere no saa ɛberɛ no ara mu, nanso ɛsiane nnipa a na wɔwɔ hɔ no enti, na wɔsuro.
20 And they watched [him], and sent forth spies, who should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.
Esiane sɛ ɔpɛ ara na na nnipa no pɛ sɛ wɔkyere Yesu enti, wɔtetɛɛ no maa nnipa bi kɔɔ ne nkyɛn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛnya nʼanom asɛm bi agyina so akyere no na wɔde no akɔ aban mu.
21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person [of any], but teachest the way of God truly:
Saa nnipa yi bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, yɛnim sɛ woyɛ ɔnokwafoɔ, wonyɛ nyiyimu na wokyerɛ nokorɛ kwan a wɔnam so kɔ Onyankopɔn nkyɛn.
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
Enti, ɛyɛ sɛ yɛtua toɔ ma Kaesare aban anaasɛ ɛnyɛ?”
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt ye me?
Yesu hunuu wɔn adwemmɔne no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
24 Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar's.
“Momma me sika. Hwan mfoni ne din na ɛwɔ so yi?” Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ Kaesare dea.”
25 And he said to them, Render therefore to Cesar the things which are Cesar's, and to God the things which are God's.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ momfa Kaesare deɛ mma Kaesare na momfa Onyankopɔn deɛ mma Onyankopɔn.”
26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
Yesu mmuaeɛ a ɔmaa wɔn no yɛɛ wɔn nwanwa na wɔn adwemmɔne no nso kaa wɔn tirim.
27 Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees (who deny that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,
Sadukifoɔ bi a wɔnnye owusɔreɛ nni baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ,
28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man's brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
“Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, Mose mmara no kyerɛ yɛn sɛ, sɛ ɔbarima bi wɔ yere na ɔne no anwo na ɔwu a, ne nua tumi ware no ne no wo mma ma owufoɔ no.
29 There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
Anuanom baason bi tenaa ase. Ɔpanin a ɔwɔ mu no waree ɔbaa a ɔne no anwo na ɔwuiɛ.
30 And the second took her for a wife, and he died childless.
Ne nua a ɔdi nʼakyi no, waree no nanso ɔne no anwo na ɔwuiɛ.
31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: And they left no children, and died.
Anuanom a wɔaka no nyinaa nso waree no a obiara ne no anwo, na wɔwuwuiɛ.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
Akyire no, ɔbaa no nso wuiɛ.
33 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
Yɛn asɛmmisa ne sɛ, ɛsiane sɛ ɔbaa yi waree anuanom yi nyinaa enti, owusɔreɛ da no, wɔn mu hwan na ɔbaa yi bɛyɛ ne yere?”
34 And Jesus answering, said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
Yesu buaa sɛ, “Asase yi so na nnipa dwene awadeɛ ho. (aiōn g165)
35 But they who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
Na wɔn a owusɔreɛ da no wɔbɛnya kwan akɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu deɛ, awadeɛ ho renhia wɔn. (aiōn g165)
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
Na owuo nso nni hɔ mma wɔn bio, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔbɛyɛ sɛ ɔsoro abɔfoɔ. Esiane sɛ wɔasɔre afiri awufoɔ mu no enti, wɔyɛ Onyankopɔn mma.
37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Afei, mo asɛmmisa a ɛfa owusɔreɛ ho no nso, Mose ma yɛhunuu no pefee sɛ, owusɔreɛ wɔ hɔ. Ɛfiri sɛ, nʼasɛm a ɔtwerɛ faa wira a na ɛrederɛ no ho no ɔbɔɔ Abraham Onyankopɔn, Isak Onyankopɔn ne Yakob Onyankopɔn din.
38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
Yei kyerɛ sɛ, Onyankopɔn yɛ ateasefoɔ Onyankopɔn na ɔnyɛ awufoɔ Onyankopɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, obiara a ɔde ne ho to Onyankopɔn so no, sɛ ɔwu mpo a, ɔbɛnya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ.”
39 Then certain of the scribes answering, said, Master, thou hast well said.
Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no mu bi kaa sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, woabua no yie.”
40 And after that, they durst not ask him any question at all.
Na obiara antumi ammisa no asɛm biara bio.
41 And he said to them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wɔka sɛ Kristo no yɛ Dawid ba?”
42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Ɛfiri sɛ Dawid ka wɔ ne Nnwom no mu sɛ, “Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me wura sɛ. ‘Tena me nifa so
43 Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
kɔsi sɛ mɛma woadi wʼatamfoɔ so nkonim.’
44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
Sɛ Dawid frɛ Kristo no ‘Me wura’ a, ɛyɛ dɛn na Kristo no ayɛ ne ba?”
45 Then in the audience of all the people, he said to his disciples,
Ɛberɛ a nnipa no retie no no, Yesu danee nʼani ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ,
46 Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
“Monhwɛ mo ho so yie wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no ho. Ɛberɛ biara wɔpɛ sɛ wɔhyɛ ntadeɛ pa, hwehwɛ sɛ nnipa hu wɔn badwa mu a, wɔde obuo kyea wɔn, na sɛ wɔkɔ asɔredan mu nso a, wɔtena mpanin tenabea. Saa ara nso na sɛ wɔkɔ apontoɔ ase a, wɔtena mpanin tenabea.
47 Who devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
Wɔbɔ mpaeɛ hunu atentene kyerɛ nnipa sɛ wɔresom Onyankopɔn, nanso wɔsisi akunafoɔ. Yei enti wɔbɛnya asotwe a emu yɛ duru.”
