< Mark 2 >

1 And again he entered into Capernaum, after [some] days; and it was understood that he was in the house.
Nna bi akyi no, Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum bio. Ɔduruu hɔ no nnipa pii tee sɛ waba hɔ.
2 And forthwith many were assembled, so that there was no room to receive [them], no not so much as about the door: and he preached the word to them.
Ankyɛre na nnipa bebree bɛhyɛɛ efie a na ɔwɔ mu no mu ma tɔ. Ɔkaa asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
3 And they come to him, bringing one sick with the palsy, who was borne by four.
Mmarima baanan bi de obubuafoɔ bi a wɔso no baa hɔ.
4 And when they could not come nigh to him by reason of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken [it] up, they let down the bed on which the sick with the palsy lay.
Esiane sɛ na wɔntumi mfa nnipadɔm no mu nkɔ Yesu nkyɛn no enti, wɔforoo ɛdan a Yesu wɔ mu no, kɔtuu tokuro wɔ atifi. Wɔde obubuafoɔ a ɔda ne kɛtɛ so no faa mu, gyaagyaa no brɛoo de no kɔtoo Yesu anim.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the sick with the palsy, Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Yesu hunuu wɔn gyidie a wɔwɔ wɔ ne mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔyarefoɔ no sɛ, “Ɔba, wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo!”
6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Nanso Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no tee deɛ Yesu kaeɛ no, wɔdwenee wɔ wɔn tirim
7 Why doth this [man] thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
sɛ, “Asɛm bɛn na ɔreka yi! Abususɛm na ɔreka yi! Ɔdwene sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn? Onyankopɔn nko na ɔtumi de bɔne kyɛ.”
8 And immediately, when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
Yesu hunuu wɔn adwene no, ɛhɔ ara, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn na moma asɛm a mekaeɛ yi ha mo?
9 Which is easier, to say to the sick with the palsy, [Thy] sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
Deɛ ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ mmerɛ? Sɛ obi bɛka akyerɛ obubuafoɔ no sɛ, ‘Wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo’, anaasɛ, ‘Fa wo kɛtɛ na nante’?
10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, he saith to the sick with the palsy,
Enti mɛkyerɛ mo sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ.” Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafoɔ no sɛ,
11 I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go into thy house.
“Mese wo sɛ, sɔre gyina hɔ. Fa wo kɛtɛ, na kɔ wo efie na wo ho atɔ wo.”
12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
Obubuafoɔ yi sɔre bobɔɔ ne kɛtɛ, na ɔde anigyeɛ ne ahosɛpɛ faa nnipadɔm no mu kɔeɛ. Nnipa no ho dwirii wɔn, ma wɔkamfoo Onyankopɔn sɛ, “Yɛnhunuu yei bi da!”
13 And he went forth again by the sea -[side]; and all the multitude resorted to him, and he taught them.
Yesu sane kɔɔ mpoano hɔ bio, na ɔkaa asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ nnipakuo a wɔahyia wɔ hɔ no.
14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the [son] of Alpheus, sitting at the receipt of custom, and said to him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Ɛberɛ a ɔnam mpoano hɔ no, ɔhunuu Alfeo ba Lewi sɛ ɔte atogyeɛ. Ɔhunuu no no ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Di mʼakyi.” Ɛhɔ ara, Lewi sɔre dii nʼakyi.
15 And it came to pass, that as Jesus sat at table in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and they followed him.
Saa ɛda no anadwofa, Lewi too ɛpono, too nsa frɛɛ nʼafɛfoɔ ɔtogyefoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ bi sɛ wɔmmra na ɔne wɔn ne Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no nto nsa nnidi. Nnipa a wɔdii Yesu akyi no bi te sɛ Lewi ara pɛ.
16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eating with publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners.
Farisifoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɔne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ne ɔtogyefoɔ ato nsa redidi no, wɔbisaa nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɔne ɔtogyefoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ to nsa didi?”
17 When Jesus heard [it], he saith to them, They that are in health, have no need of a physician, but they that are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.
Yesu tee deɛ wɔkaeɛ no, ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Wɔn a wɔwɔ ahoɔden no, ɔyaresafoɔ ho nhia wɔn, na wɔn a wɔyare no na ɔyaresafoɔ ho hia wɔn. Mamma sɛ merebɛka akyerɛ teneneefoɔ sɛ wɔnsakyera wɔn adwene na mmom, nnebɔneyɛfoɔ.”
18 And the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees, used to fast: and they come, and say to him, Why do the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
Ɛda bi a Yohane Osubɔni akyidifoɔ ne Farisifoɔ no redi mmuada no, nnipa bi kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kɔbisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na Yohane ne Farisifoɔ no akyidifoɔ di mmuada na wʼakyidifoɔ deɛ, wɔnni mmuada?”
19 And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Yesu nso bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Moahunu ayeforɔkunu nnamfo a wɔbɛba ayeforɔ ase a wɔbɛka sɛ, wɔredi mmuada enti wɔrennidi anaa? Mmerɛ dodoɔ a wɔne ayeforɔkunu no nam no deɛ, wɔrenni mmuada da.
20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast in those days.
Nanso, ɛda bi bɛba a, wɔbɛfa ayeforɔkunu no afiri wɔn nkyɛn. Saa ɛberɛ no na wɔbɛdi mmuada.
21 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up, taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
“Ɛte sɛ wode ntoma foforɔ atare ntoma dada mu. Ɛdeɛn na ɛba? Ntaremu no bɛte ntoma dada no mu, na ayi afiri mu, na ama tokuro a ɛda hɔ no aso asene kane deɛ no.
22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles, else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
Monim sɛ, wɔmfa nsã foforɔ ngu aboa nwoma nkotokuo dada mu. Anyɛ saa a, ɛbɛpae. Nsa no bɛhwie agu, na nkotokuo a nsã no wɔ mu no nso bɛpaapae. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsã foforɔ gu nkotokuo foforɔ mu.”
23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn-fields on the sabbath; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
Homeda bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ nam aburoofuo bi mu no, asuafoɔ no pempan aburoo no bi weeɛ.
24 And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath that which is not lawful?
Farisifoɔ no bi ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɛnni ho kwan sɛ wɔyɛ saa! Yɛn mmara mma ho ɛkwan sɛ wɔbu aburoo Homeda.”
25 And he said to them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, he and they that were with him?
Yesu nso bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Monkenkanee deɛ Ɔhene Dawid yɛeɛ, ɛberɛ a ɛkɔm dee ɔne wɔn a na wɔka ne ho no,
26 How he went into the house of God, in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show-bread, which it is not lawful to eat, but for the priests, and gave also to them who were with him?
ne sɛdeɛ ɔkɔɔ Onyankopɔn efie, Ɔsɔfopanin Abiatar berɛ so, na ɔne wɔn a wɔka ne ho kɔdii burodo a wɔde abɔ afɔdeɛ ama Onyankopɔn no, a obiara nni ho ɛkwan sɛ ɔdi, agye asɔfoɔ nko ara no pɛn? Na ɛno nso tia mmara.
27 And he said to them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
“Onipa enti na wɔyɛɛ Homeda, na ɛnyɛ Homeda enti na wɔbɔɔ onipa.
28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Na me, Onipa Ba no mpo, meyɛ Homeda no nso wura!”
