Matthew 18
1 In that our the disciplis camen to Jhesu, and seiden, Who, gessist thou, is gretter in the kyngdom of heuenes?
Saa bere no mu na Yesu asuafo no baa ne nkyɛn bebisaa no se, wɔn mu hena na ɔbɛyɛ kɛse Ɔsoro Ahenni no mu.
2 And Jhesus clepide a litil child, and putte hym in the myddil of hem;
Yesu frɛɛ abofra ketewa bi de no begyinaa wɔn mfimfini.
3 and seide, Y seie treuthe to you, but ye be turned, and maad as litle children, ye schulen not entre in to the kyngdom of heuenes.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Merema mo ate ase sɛ, gye sɛ motwe mo ho fi mo bɔne ho, na moyɛ sɛ mmofra nketewa, na mode mo ho ma Onyankopɔn ansa na mubetumi akɔ Ɔsoro Ahenni no mu.”
4 Therfor who euer mekith hym as this litil child, he is gretter in the kyngdom of heuenes.
Enti, obiara a ɔbɛbrɛ ne ho ase sɛ abofra yi no, ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ ɔkɛse koraa wɔ Ɔsoro Ahenni mu.
5 And he that resseyueth o siche litil child in my name, resseyueth me.
Na mo mu biara a, me nti obegye abofra ketewa biara te sɛ oyi no, wagye me nso aba ne nkyɛn.
6 But who so sclaundrith oon of these smale, that bileuen in me, it spedith to hym that a mylnstoon `of assis be hangid in his necke, and he be drenchid in the depnesse of the see.
“Enti sɛ obi to mmofra nketewa a wogye me di yi bi hintidua a, eye ma no sɛ anka wɔde ɔbotan bɛsɛn ne kɔn mu atow no akyene po mu.
7 Woo to the world, for sclaundris; for it is nede that sclaundris come; netheles wo to thilke man bi whom a sclaundre cometh.
Wiase nnue wɔ ne hintiduato ho! Hintiduato wɔ hɔ de, nanso nea ɛnam ne so bɛba no nnue.
8 And if thin hoond or thi foot sclaundreth thee, kitte it of, and caste awei fro thee. It is betere to thee to entre to lijf feble, ethir crokid, than hauynge tweyne hoondis or twey feet to be sent in to euerlastynge fier. (aiōnios g166)
Enti sɛ wo nsa anaa wo nan to wo hintidua a, twa na tow kyene. Eye ma wo sɛ wode dɛmdi bɛkɔ ɔsoro sen sɛ wɔde wo nipamu bɛto ogyatannaa mu. (aiōnios g166)
9 And if thin iye sclaundre thee, pulle it out, and caste awei fro thee. It is betere to thee with oon iye to entre in to lijf, thanne hauynge tweyn iyen to be sent in to the fier of helle. (Geenna g1067)
Na sɛ wʼani to wo hintidua a, tu na tow kyene. Eye ma wo sɛ wode ani koro bɛkɔ ɔsoro sen sɛ wowɔ ani abien na wɔde wo bɛto amanehunu gya mu. (Geenna g1067)
10 Se ye, that ye dispise not oon of these litle. For Y seie to you, that the aungels of hem in heuenes seen euermore the face of my fadir that is in heuenes.
“Monhwɛ yiye na moammu saa mmofra nketewa yi mu baako koraa animtiaa. Mereka akyerɛ mo se, ɔsoro hɔ no, wɔn abɔfo wɔ mʼagya nkyɛn daa.
11 For mannus sone cam to saue that thing that perischide.
Na me, Agyenkwa no, mebae sɛ merebegye wɔn a wɔayera no nkwa.
12 What semeth to you? If ther weren to sum man an hundrid scheep, and oon of hem hath errid, whethir he schal not leeue nynti and nyne in desert, and schal go to seche that that erride?
“Sɛ onipa bi wɔ nguan ɔha, na wɔn mu baako kokyin na ɔyera a, dɛn na ɔbɛyɛ? Ɔrennyaw aduɔkron akron no hɔ nkokyinkyin mmepɔw so ne abon mu nhwehwɛ nea wayera no?
13 And if it falle that he fynde it, treuli Y seie to you, that he schal haue ioye theron more than on nynti and nyne that erriden not.
Na sɛ ɛba sɛ ohu saa oguan no a, nʼani gye ne ho sen aduɔkron akron a wɔwɔ fie no.
14 So it is not the wille bifor youre fadir that is in heuenes, that oon of these litle perische.
Saa ara nso na mʼagya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no mpɛ sɛ nketewa yi mu baako bɛyera.
15 But if thi brother synneth ayens thee, go thou, and repreue hym, bitwixe thee and hym aloone; if he herith thee, thou hast wonnun thi brother.
“Sɛ wo nua fom wo a, kɔ ne nkyɛn na wo ne no baanu no nka nea ɔyɛɛ wo a ɛnyɛ wo dɛ no. Sɛ otie nea woka no, na ɔte ne ho ase a, onua ayɛ onua.
16 And if he herith thee not, take with thee oon or tweyne, that euery word stonde in the mouth of tweyne or thre witnessis.
Na sɛ wantie nso a, san fa onipa baako anaa baanu ka wo ho kɔ ne nkyɛn, na nnipa baanu anaa baasa no adi nea ebesi wɔ hɔ no nyinaa ho adanse.
17 And if he herith not hem, seie thou to the chirche. But if he herith not the chirche, be he as an hethen and a pupplican to thee.
Sɛ wantie wo ara a, fa asɛm no kɔma asafo. Na sɛ wudi bem wɔ asafo no anim, na ɔnte ne ho ase ara a, asafo no mpam no mfi wɔn mu.
18 Y seie to you treuli, what euer thingis ye bynden on erthe, tho schulen be boundun also in heuene; and what euer thingis ye vnbynden on erthe, tho schulen be vnboundun also in heuene.
“Mereka akyerɛ mo se, biribiara a mokyekyere wɔ asase so no, wɔakyekyere wɔ ɔsoro, na biribiara a moasan wɔ asase so no, wɔasan wɔ ɔsoro.
19 Eftsoone Y seie to you, that if tweyne of you consenten on the erthe, of euery thing what euer thei axen, it schal be don to hem of my fadir that is in heuenes.
“Meresan aka akyerɛ mo bio se, sɛ mo mu baanu biara a ɔte asase yi so hwehwɛ biribi na ɔde nokware bisa mʼagya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no a, ɔbɛyɛ ama no.
20 For where tweyne or thre ben gaderid in my name, there Y am in the myddil of hem.
Na nea baanu anaa baasa ahyia wɔ me din mu no, na mewɔ wɔn mfimfini.”
21 Thanne Petre cam to hym, and seide, Lord, how ofte schal my brother synne ayens me, and Y schal foryyue hym?
Petro baa Yesu nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Awurade, mpɛn ahe na sɛ me nua fom me a memfa nkyɛ no? Mpɛn ason ana?”
22 Whether til seuen tymes? Jhesus seith to hym, Y seie not to thee, til seuene sithis; but til seuenti sithis seuene sithis.
Yesu buaa no se, “Dabi! Mpɛn aduɔson ahorow ason!
23 Therfor the kyngdom of heuenes is licned to a kyng, that wolde rekyn with hise seruauntis.
“Ɔsoro Ahenni no te sɛ ɔhene bi a ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔne nʼapaafo bu nkontaa.
24 And whanne he bigan to rekene, oon that ouyte ten thousynde talentis, was brouyt to hym.
Nkontaabu no mu no, wɔde ɔpaani bi a ɔde no ka sika ɔpepem du brɛɛ no.
25 And whanne he hadde not wherof to yelde, his lord comaundide hym to be seld, and his wijf, and children, and alle thingis that he hadde, and to be paied.
Esiane sɛ na onni sika a ɔde betua ka no nti, ɔhene no hyɛɛ sɛ wɔntɔn ɔne ne yere ne ne mma ne biribiara a ɔwɔ, na wɔmfa mmetua ka no.
26 But thilke seruaunt felde doun, and preiede hym, and seide, Haue pacience in me, and Y schal yelde to thee alle thingis.
“Ɔpaani yi de nʼanim butuw fam, srɛɛ ne wura yi sɛ, ‘Me wura, hu me mmɔbɔ, na tɔ wo bo ase ma me, na mɛba abetua ka a mede wo no nyinaa.’
27 And the lord hadde merci on that seruaunt, and suffride hym to go, and foryaf to hym the dette.
Ɔpaani yi asɛm a ɔkae no yɛɛ ɔhene no mmɔbɔ, ma ogyaa no de ne ka no nyinaa nso kyɛɛ no.
28 But thilke seruaunt yede out, and foonde oon of his euen seruauntis, that ouyte hym an hundrid pens; and he helde hym, and stranglide hym, and seide, Yelde that that thou owest.
“Saa ɔpaani yi fii hɔ no, okohuu ne yɔnko paani bi a ɔde no ka sika kakraa bi. Otim no amene sɛ ontua no ka a ɔde no no wɔ hɔ ara.
29 And his euen seruaunt felle doun, and preyede hym, and seide, Haue pacience in me, and Y schal quyte alle thingis to thee.
“Na ne yɔnko paani no kotow paa no kyɛw sɛ ɔntɔ ne bo ase mma no, na obetua ka no.
30 But he wolde not; but wente out, and putte hym in to prisoun, til he paiede al the dette.
“Nanso ɔno de, wampene. Ɔma wɔde no kɔtoo afiase se gye sɛ watua no ka a ɔde no no nyinaa ansa na ɔbɛma wɔagyaa no.
31 And hise euen seruauntis, seynge the thingis that weren don, soreweden greetli. And thei camen, and telden to her lord alle the thingis that weren don.
Ɔkafo yi nnamfo kɔkaa asɛm a asi no nyinaa kyerɛɛ ɔhene no.
32 Thanne his lord clepide hym, and seide to hym, Wickid seruaunt, Y foryaf to thee al the dette, for thou preiedist me.
“Ɔhene no tee no, ɔfrɛɛ saa ɔpaani a ɔde ne ho kyɛɛ no no baa nʼanim. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Onipa bɔne ne otirimɔdenfo! Wosrɛɛ me no, mede ka kɛse a wode me no nyinaa kyɛɛ wo;
33 Therfor whether it bihouede not also thee to haue merci on thin euen seruaunt, as Y hadde merci on thee?
ɛnsɛ wo sɛ wo nso wuhu wo yɔnko mmɔbɔ sɛnea mihuu wo mmɔbɔ no ana?’
34 And his lord was wroth, and took hym to turmentouris, til he paiede al the dette.
Ɔhene no de abufuw ma wɔde ɔpaani yi kɔtoo afiase kae se, gye sɛ watua ka a ɔde no no nyinaa ansa na ɔbɛma wɔayi no.
35 So my fadir of heuene schal do to you, if ye foryyuen not euery man to his brother, of youre hertes.
“Saa ara na sɛ moamfa mo nuanom mfomso ankyɛ wɔn a, me soro Agya nso remfa mo mfomso nkyɛ mo.”
