John 12
1 Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of the dead;
Aka nnansia na Twam Afahyɛ no adu no, Yesu kɔɔ Betania, kurow a na Lasaro a Yesu nyan no fii awufo mu no te mu no mu.
2 they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) with him;
Wɔtoo Yesu pon. Marta na ɔsomee wɔ saa aponto yi ase. Lasaro tenaa Yesu nkyɛn pɛɛ wɔ ɔpon no ho.
3 Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.
Wɔredidi no, Maria faa ngohuam bi a ne bo yɛ den behwie guu Yesu nan ase de ne tinwi pepae. Ngo no hua gyee fie hɔ nyinaa.
4 Therefore saith one of his disciples — Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up —
Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ asuafo no mu baako a akyiri no obeyi Yesu ama no ani annye nea ɔbea yi yɛe no ho,
5 'Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, and given to the poor?'
enti ɔkae se, “Adɛn nti na woantɔn saa ngohuam yi na yɛamfa sika no amma ahiafo?”
6 and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.
Ɛnyɛ sɛ na odwen ahiafo ho nti na ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, na mmom, na ɔyɛ ɔkorɔmfo, na esiane sɛ na ɔhwɛ asuafo no sika so nti, na owiawia bi.
7 Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,
Yesu kae se, “Munnyaa ɔbea yi haw! Nea ɔbea yi ayɛ yi, ɔde asiesie me ama me wu.
8 for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have not always.'
Mo ne ahiafo na ɛwɔ hɔ bere biara, na me de, me ne mo rentena hɔ daa.”
9 A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;
Bere a Yudafo no tee sɛ Yesu wɔ Betania no, wɔn mu pii kɔɔ hɔ. Ɛnyɛ Yesu nko nti na wɔkɔɔ hɔ, na mmom, wɔkɔɔ hɔ sɛ wɔrekɔhwɛ Lasaro a Yesu nyan no fii awufo mu no nso.
10 and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,
Afei, asɔfo mpanyin no bɔɔ pɔw sɛ wobekum Lasaro nso,
11 because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
efisɛ esiane Lasaro wusɔre no nti, na nnipa bebree retwe wɔn ho afi Yudafo mpanyin no ho abedi Yesu akyi.
12 On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem,
Ade kyee no, nnipadɔm a wɔaba Twam Afahyɛ no tee sɛ Yesu reba Yerusalem no,
13 took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, 'Hosanna, blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the Lord — the king of Israel;'
wobubuu berɛw de kohyiaa no kwan de ahurusi teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Hosiana!” “Nhyira nka nea ɔreba wɔ Awurade din mu no!” “Nhyira nka Israelhene!”
14 and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,
Yesu rekɔ no, na ɔte afurum ba bi so sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm hyɛɛ ho nkɔm se,
15 'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'
“Nsuro, Ɔbabea Sion! Hwɛ sɛ wo hene te afurum ba so reba wo nkyɛn.”
16 And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.
Mfiase no, asuafo no ante eyinom nyinaa ase kosii sɛ wɔhyɛɛ Yesu anuonyam no ansa na wɔrekae se, Kyerɛwsɛm no aka saa asɛm yi nyinaa afa ne ho dedaw, na ɛno ara ne nea wɔayɛ no.
17 The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;
Nnipa a na wɔwɔ hɔ a wohuu sɛ Yesu nyan Lasaro fii awufo mu no kaa asɛm a esii no kyerɛɛ afoforo.
18 because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done this sign,
Eyi nti na nnipa bebree kɔɔ se wɔrekohyia Yesu kwan no, efisɛ na wɔate sɛ wayɛ anwonwade.
19 the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'
Farisifo no huu nea ɛrekɔ so no, wɔkae se, “Anyɛ yiye! Monhwɛ sɛ nnipa no nyinaa atu adi nʼakyi!”
20 And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in the feast,
Afahyɛbere no mu no, Helafo bi nso kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔrekɔsom.
21 these then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'
Wɔkɔɔ Filipo a ofi Betsaida no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, yɛpɛ sɛ yehu Yesu.”
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
Filipo kɔbɔɔ Andrea amanneɛ ma wɔn baanu kɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu.
23 And Jesus responded to them, saying, 'The hour hath come that the Son of Man may be glorified;
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Bere no aso sɛ wɔbɛhyɛ Onipa Ba no anuonyam.
24 verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit;
Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo se, sɛ wɔamfa burofua anhyɛ fam amma amporɔw na amfifi a, ɛda so yɛ burofua no ara, nanso sɛ ɛporɔw na efifi a, ɛsow aba pii.
25 he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world — to life age-during shall keep it; (aiōnios g166)
Obiara a ɔdɔ ne kra no bɛhwere ne nkwa, na nea ɔnnɔ ne kra no benya nkwa a enni awiei. (aiōnios g166)
26 if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me — honour him will the Father.
Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsom me no, ɛsɛ sɛ odi mʼakyi, na baabiara a mewɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ mʼasomfo nso wɔ hɔ bi.”
27 'Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say — Father, save me from this hour? — but because of this I came to this hour;
Yesu kae se, “Afei de, me kra ho yeraw no na asɛm bɛn na menka? Menka se, ‘Agya, gye me fi saa amanehunu yi mu ana?’ Nanso, eyi nti na wosomaa me baa wiase sɛ mimmehu amane.
28 Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, 'I both glorified, and again I will glorify [it];'
Agya, hyɛ wo din anuonyam!” Ɔkasa wiee no, nne bi fi ɔsoro kae se, “Mahyɛ no anuonyam dedaw na mɛsan mahyɛ no bio.”
29 the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, 'A messenger hath spoken to him.'
Nnipakuw a na wɔwɔ hɔ no tee nne no, wɔkae se aprannaa na ɛrebobɔ mu. Ebinom nso kae se, ɔsoro ɔbɔfo na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ no.
30 Jesus answered and said, 'Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;
Nanso Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo nti na saa nne yi kasae na ɛnyɛ me nti.
31 now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;
Afei, bere adu sɛ wobu wiase atɛn na wotu ɔbonsam a odi wiase so no gu.
32 and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'
Sɛ wonya ma me so fi asase so a, mɛtwe nnipa nyinaa aba me nkyɛn.”
33 And this he said signifying by what death he was about to die;
Ɔkaa eyi de kyerɛɛ owu ko a obewu no.
34 the multitude answered him, 'We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain — to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this — the Son of Man?' (aiōn g165)
Nnipa no kae se, “Kyerɛwsɛm no di adanse sɛ, Agyenkwa no renwu da. Adɛn nti na woka kyerɛ yɛn se, ‘Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma Onipa Ba no so’. Hena ne saa Onipa Ba no?” (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where he goeth;
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Me hann no bɛhyerɛn ama mo mmere tiaa bi mu. Ɛno nti, monnantew mu bere a mowɔ saa hann no mu yi nkɔ baabiara a mopɛ sɛ mokɔ, ansa na sum aduru; anyɛ saa a morenhu kwan.
36 while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,
Bere a mowɔ hann mu yi, munnye hann no nni na moayɛ hann no mma.” Yesu kaa nsɛm yi wiee no, ofii hɔ de ne ho kohintawee.
37 yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na Yesu ayɛ anwonwade ahorow ama Yudafo no ahu de, nanso na wonnye no nni ara.
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord — to whom was it revealed?'
Eyi ne Odiyifo Yesaia asɛm a ɔkae se, “Awurade, hena na wagye yɛn asɛnka adi? Na hena nso na Awurade wʼanwonwadwuma no ada adi akyerɛ no?”
39 Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,
Yudafo no annye anni efisɛ, na Odiyifo Yesaia asan aka se,
40 'He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'
“Onyankopɔn afura wɔn ani, na wapirim wɔn koma, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔrentumi nnan mma me nkyɛn na masa wɔn yare.”
41 these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
Yesaia kaa eyi faa Yesu anuonyam a daakye obenya a Onyankopɔn yi kyerɛɛ no no ho.
42 Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,
Mpo, na Yudafo mpanyimfo no mu pii gye Yesu di, nanso na wosuro sɛ, sɛ Farisifo no hu wɔn a, wɔremma wɔmma asɔredan no mu bio.
43 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
Na wɔpɛ sɛ nnipa bɛkamfo wɔn sen sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛhyɛ wɔn anuonyam.
44 And Jesus cried and said, 'He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;
Yesu teɛɛ mu se, “Obiara a ogye me di no, ɛnyɛ me nko na ogye me di, na ogye nea ɔsomaa me no nso di.
45 and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me;
Na nea ohu me no hu nea ɔsomaa me no nso.
46 I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me — in the darkness may not remain;
Maba wiase sɛ hann, na obiara a ogye me di no ankɔ so antena sum mu.
47 and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I — I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
“Obiara a ɔte mʼasɛm na onni so no, meremmu no atɛn. Efisɛ mamma sɛ merebebu nnipa atɛn, na mmom, mebae sɛ merebegye wɔn nkwa.
48 'He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will judge him in the last day,
Obiara a ɔpo me na onnye mʼasɛm nni no, otemmufo bi wɔ hɔ a obebu no atɛn. Me nsɛm a maka akyerɛ mo no na atemmuda no ebebu mo atɛn.
49 because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,
Nsɛm a maka no nyinaa, ɛnyɛ mʼankasa mʼadwene na mede ka kyerɛɛ mo, na mmom ɛyɛ nea Agya no ka kyerɛɛ me se menka nkyerɛ mo no.
50 and I have known that His command is life age-during; what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to me, so I speak.' (aiōnios g166)
Minim sɛ asɛm biara a Agya no ahyɛ me sɛ menka no de nnipa kɔ nkwa a enni awiei mu; enti asɛm a ɔbɛka akyerɛ me sɛ menka biara no, ɛno na meka!” (aiōnios g166)
