Mark 9
1 He went on to say, "In solemn truth I tell you that some of those who are standing here will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God already come in power."
Yesu kɔɔ so ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Mo a mugyina ha yi mu bi bɛtena ase akosi sɛ mubehu sɛ, Onyankopɔn ahenni no reba tumi mu!”
2 Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and brought them alone, apart from the rest, up a high mountain; and in their presence His appearance underwent a change.
Nnansia akyi na Yesu faa Petro, Yakobo ne Yohane de wɔn kɔɔ bepɔw tenten bi atifi. Saa bere no na obiara nka wɔn ho. Ɛhɔ ara na Yesu anuonyam hyerɛn wɔ wɔn anim.
3 His garments also became dazzling with brilliant whiteness--such whiteness as no bleaching on earth could give.
Nʼatade hyerɛn yɛɛ fitafita sen sɛnea obi betumi ahoro saa atade no ama ayɛ.
4 Moreover there appeared to them Elijah accompanied by Moses; and the two were conversing with Jesus,
Afei Elia ne Mose befii hɔ. Na wɔne Yesu kasae!
5 when Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
Petro ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, eye sɛ yɛwɔ ha. Yɛbɛbɔ asese abiɛsa wɔ ha, wo de baako, Mose de baako na Elia de baako.”
6 For he knew not what to say: they were filled with such awe.
Esiane sɛ na wɔabɔ hu no nti na ɛma ɔkaa saa.
7 Then there came a cloud spreading over them, and a voice issued from the cloud, "This is my Son, dearly loved: listen to Him."
Na omununkum bɛkataa wɔn so. Nne bi fi omununkum no mu kae se, “Oyi ne me Dɔba. Muntie no.”
8 Instantly they looked round, and now they could no longer see any one, but themselves and Jesus.
Mpofirim a wɔhwɛɛ wɔn ho no, wɔanhu obiara ka Yesu ho.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, He very strictly forbad them to tell any one what they had seen "until after the Son of Man has risen from among the dead."
Wɔresian afi bepɔw no so no, Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano se wɔnnka nea wɔahu no nkyerɛ obiara kosi sɛ ɔbɛsɔre afi awufo mu.
10 So they kept the matter to themselves, although frequently asking one another what was meant by the rising from the dead.
Asuafo no anka ankyerɛ obiara na mmom, ɛyɛ a na wɔtaa bisabisa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, nʼasɛm a ɔkae se, “Menyan afi awufo mu” no, na ɔkyerɛ dɛn?
11 They also asked Him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
Na nʼasuafo no bisaa no nea enti a mmara no akyerɛkyerɛfo no ka se, ɛsɛ sɛ Elia san ba kan.
12 "Elijah," He replied, "does indeed come first and reforms everything; but how is it that it is written of the Son of Man that He will endure much suffering and be held in contempt?
Yesu gye too mu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Elia di kan ba bɛtoto nneɛma nyinaa yiye. Ɔkae se, “Ɛno de, na adɛn nti na wɔakyerɛw se Onipa Ba no behu amane bebree na wɔapo no?
13 Yet I tell you that not only has Elijah come, but they have also done to him whatever they chose, as the Scriptures say about him."
Nanso mise mo sɛ, Elia aba dedaw! Na wɔne no anni no yiye sɛnea adiyifo no hyɛɛ ho nkɔm no.”
14 As they came to rejoin the disciples, they saw an immense crowd surrounding them and a party of Scribes disputing with them.
Bere a wosian beduu bepɔw no ase hɔ no, wohuu sɛ nnipakuw atwa asuafo a wɔaka no ho ahyia, na wɔne mmara no akyerɛkyerɛfo no regye wɔn ho wɔn ho akyinnye.
15 Immediately the whole multitude on beholding Him were astonished and awe-struck, and yet they ran forward and greeted Him.
Bere a nnipakuw no huu Yesu no wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn, na wɔde mmirika behyiaa no.
16 "What is the subject you are discussing?" He asked them.
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Akyinnye a na moregye no fa dɛn ho?”
17 "Rabbi," answered one of the crowd, "I have brought you my son. He has a dumb spirit in him;
Nnipa no mu baako kae se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, mede me ba aba ha sɛ sa no yare. Honhommɔne bi a ɛwɔ ne so nti, ontumi nkasa.
18 and wherever it comes upon him, it dashes him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I begged your disciples to expel it, but they had not the power."
Sɛ honhommɔne no ka ne ho wɔ ne mu a, etwa no hwe fam ma nʼano twa ahuru, twɛre ne se a wasinsen. Ɛno nti mesrɛɛ wʼasuafo no se wontu honhommɔne no mfi ne mu, nanso wɔantumi.”
19 "O unbelieving generation!" replied Jesus; "how long must I be with you? how long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy to me."
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “O, mo a mo gyidi sua, me ne mo ntena nkosi da bɛn ansa na mo gyidi atim? Momfa abarimaa no mmrɛ me.”
20 So they brought him to Jesus. And the spirit, when he saw Jesus, immediately threw the youth into convulsions, so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
Wɔde abarimaa no brɛɛ Yesu. Wɔde no duu Yesu anim ara pɛ na ɔyare no baa denneennen, twaa no hwee fam, ma ɔperee a nʼano refi ahuru.
21 Then Jesus asked the father, "How long has he been like this?" "From early childhood," he said;
Yesu bisaa abarimaa no agya se, “Nnaahe ni a ɔyare yi baa ne so?” Abarimaa no agya buaa Yesu se, “Efi ne mmofraase pɛɛ;
22 "and often it has thrown him into the fire or into pools of water to destroy him. But, if you possibly can, have pity on us and help us."
na ɛtɔ da bi koraa a, ɔyare no tumi twa no hwe ogya anaa nsu mu pɛ sɛ ekum no. Enti sɛ wubetumi asa no yare de a, hu yɛn mmɔbɔ, na sa no yare ma yɛn.”
23 "'If I possibly can!'" replied Jesus; "why, everything is possible to him who believes."
Yesu bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na woka se sɛ metumi a? Nneɛma nyinaa betumi ayɛ hɔ ama obiara a ogye di.”
24 Immediately the father cried out, "I do believe: strengthen my weak faith."
Abarimaa no agya buae se, “Mewɔ gyidi nanso esua, enti boa me, na hyɛ me gyidi mu den!”
25 Then Jesus, seeing that an increasing crowd was running towards Him, rebuked the foul spirit, and said to it, "Dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter into him again."
Yesu huu sɛ nnipa no dɔ ara na wɔredɔɔso no, ɔteɛɛ honhommɔne no se, “Honhommɔne ɔsotifo ne mumu, mehyɛ wo sɛ, fi abofra yi mu kɔ. Nkɔhyɛ ne mu bio!”
26 So with a loud cry he threw the boy into fit after fit, and came out. The boy looked as if he were dead, so that most of them said he was dead;
Afei ɔyare no baa denneennen ansa na ɛrefi ne mu, enti ɛmaa abarimaa no yɛɛ sɛ owufo. Nnipakuw no kasaa huhuhuhu se, “Wawu.”
27 but Jesus took his hand and raised him up, and he stood on his feet.
Na Yesu soo ne nsa pagyaw no ma ogyinaa ne nan so a ne ho atɔ no.
28 After the return of Jesus to the house His disciples asked Him privately, "How is it that we could not expel the spirit?"
Eyi akyi a Yesu ne nʼasuafo no nko ara wɔ fie no, wobisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na yɛn de yɛantumi antu saa honhommɔne no?”
29 "An evil spirit of this kind," He answered, "can only be driven out by prayer."
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mpaebɔ nko ara na ebetumi atu saa ɔyare yi.”
30 Departing thence they passed through Galilee, and He was unwilling that any one should know it;
Yesu fii hɔ no ɔfaa Galilea, efisɛ na ɔmpɛ sɛ nnipa te ne nka.
31 for He was teaching His disciples, and telling them, "The Son of Man is to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will put Him to death; and after being put to death, in three days He will rise to life again."
Na ɔpɛ sɛ onya bere ma nʼasuafo no de kyerɛkyerɛ wɔn. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Wobeyi Onipa Ba no ama, na wɔakum no, na ne nnansa so no ɔbɛsɔre aba nkwa mu bio.”
32 They, however, did not understand what He meant, and were afraid to question Him.
Asuafo no ante asɛm a ɔkae yi ase, nanso na wosuro sɛ wobebisa no ase.
33 So they came to Capernaum; and when in the house He asked them, "What were you arguing about on the way?"
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no baa Kapernaum. Bere a woduu ofi a wɔbɛtena mu no mu na wɔregye wɔn ahome no, Yesu bisaa nʼasuafo no se, “Yɛreba no dɛn akyinnye na na moregye wɔ ɔkwan so no?”
34 But they remained silent; for on the way they had debated with one another who was the chief of them.
Asuafo no antumi ammua efisɛ na wɔredwinnwen nea ɔbɛyɛ wɔn mu ɔkɛse no ho.
35 Then sitting down He called the Twelve, and said to them, "If any one wishes to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all."
Ɔtenaa ase frɛɛ wɔn baa ne nkyɛn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔpanyin wɔ mo mu no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ abofra anaa ɔsomfo wɔ mo mu!”
36 And taking a young child He made him stand in their midst, then threw His arms round him and said,
Afei ɔde abofra ketewa bi begyinaa wɔn mfimfini. Ɔde abofra no kyerɛɛ wɔn kae se,
37 "Whoever for my sake receives one such young child as this, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not so much me as Him who sent me."
“Mo mu biara a me nti obegye abofra ketewa sɛ oyi no agye me, na nea obegye me no nso agye mʼAgya a ɔsomaa me no.”
38 "Rabbi," said John to Him, "we saw a man making use of your name to expel demons, and we tried to hinder him, on the ground that he did not follow us."
Yohane a ɔyɛ asuafo no mu baako no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yehuu ɔbarima bi a ɔde wo din retu ahonhommɔne nti yɛka kyerɛɛ no se onnyae, efisɛ ɔnka yɛn ho.”
39 "You should not have tried to hinder him," replied Jesus, "for there is no one who will use my name to perform a miracle and be able the next minute to speak evil of me.
Yesu kae se, “Munnsiw no kwan. Efisɛ obiara nni hɔ a ɔreyɛ anwonwade wɔ me din mu na obetwa ne ho atia me.
40 He who is not against us is for us;
Na obiara a ontia yɛn no wɔ yɛn afa.
41 and whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, I solemnly tell you that he will certainly not lose his reward.
Obiara a esiane sɛ, moyɛ Kristo de no nti ɔbɛma mo nsu kuruwa ma anom no akatua remmɔ no da.
42 "And whoever shall occasion the fall of one of these little ones who believe, he would be better off if, with a millstone round his neck, he were lying at the bottom of the sea.
“Enti sɛ obi to mmofra nketewa a wogye me di yi mu bi hintidua a, eye ma no sɛ anka wɔde ɔbotan duruduru bɛsɛn ne kɔn mu, atow no akyene po mu.
43 If your hand should cause you to sin, cut it off: it would be better for you to enter into Life maimed, than remain in possession of both your hands and go away into Gehenna, into the fire which cannot be put out. (Geenna g1067)
Sɛ wo nsa ma woyɛ bɔne a, twa na tow kyene. Eye ma wo sɛ wode dɛmdi bɛkɔ nkwa mu sen sɛ, wɔde wo nipadua nyinaa bɛto amanehunu gya (Geenna g1067)

45 Or if your foot should cause you to sin, cut it off: it would be better for you to enter into Life crippled, than remain in possession of both your feet and be thrown into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Na sɛ wo nan ma woyɛ bɔne a, twa na tow kyene. Eye ma wo sɛ wode nansin bɛkɔ nkwa mu sen sɛ, wode nan abien bɛkɔ amanehunu gya (Geenna g1067)
a ennum da no mu.”
47 Or if your eye should cause you to sin, tear it out. It would be better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God half-blind than remain in possession of two eyes and be thrown into Gehenna, (Geenna g1067)
Na sɛ wʼani ma woyɛ bɔne a, tu na tow kyene. Eye ma wo sɛ wode ani baako bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu sen sɛ wowɔ ani abien na wɔde wo bɛto amanehunu gya mu (Geenna g1067)
48 where their worm does not die and the fire does not go out.
baabi a “‘ogya no ennum da na ɛhɔ asunson nso nwu da.’
49 Every one, however, will be salted with fire.
Na wɔde ogya bɛhyɛ wɔn nyinaa nkyene.
50 Salt is a good thing, but if the salt should become tasteless, what will you use to give it saltness? Have salt within you and live at peace with one another."
“Nkyene yɛ dɛ, nanso sɛ nkyene yera ne dɛ a, ɛso nni mfaso bio; wonte ne dɛ wɔ biribiara mu. Enti monnyera mo dɛ. Mo ne mo ho mo ho ntena asomdwoe mu.”
