< Luke 10 >

1 And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about to come,
Yei akyi, Yesu yii nʼakyidifoɔ no mu aduɔson somaa wɔn baanu baanu kɔɔ nkuro ne nkuraa a akyire no ɔbɛkɔ hɔ no so.
2 then said he unto them, 'The harvest indeed [is] abundant, but the workmen few; beseech ye then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Otwa adwuma no dɔɔso, nanso adwumayɛfoɔ no sua. Enti, monsrɛ adwumawura no na ɔmma adwumayɛfoɔ bebree mmra ne twa adwuma no mu.
3 'Go away; lo, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;
Monkɔ, na meresoma mo sɛ nnwan akɔ mpataku mu.
4 carry no bag, no scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on the way;
Mommfa sika, akwantubɔtɔ anaa mpaboa; na monnkyea obiara nso a mobɛhyia no wɔ ɛkwan so.
5 and into whatever house ye do enter, first say, Peace to this house;
“Sɛ mokɔ efie biara mu a, monni ɛkan nkyea efie hɔfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Asomdwoeɛ nka mo!’
6 and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn back.
Na sɛ asomdwoeɛ ba bi wɔ hɔ a, mo asomdwoeɛ bɛba ne so; na sɛ obi a ɔte saa nni hɔ a, mo asomdwoeɛ bɛsane aba mo nkyɛn.
7 'And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy [is] the workman of his hire; go not from house to house,
Efie biara a mokɔ mu no, momma ɛhɔ nyɛ mo atenaeɛ; aduane biara a wɔde bɛma mo no, monni, ɛfiri sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ odwumayɛfoɔ biara nya nʼadwumayɛ so akatua; monnni atutena wɔ afie mu.
8 and into whatever city ye enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you,
“Na sɛ mokɔ kuro biara mu na wɔgye mo fɛw so a, aduane biara a wɔde bɛma mo no, monni.
9 and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of God hath come nigh to you.
Monsa kuro no mu ayarefoɔ yadeɛ, na monka nkyerɛ ɛhɔfoɔ nyinaa sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn Ahennie no abɛn mo.’
10 'And into whatever city ye do enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say,
Nanso, sɛ mokɔ kuro biara mu na wɔannye mo fɛw so a, monkɔ ne mmɔntene so nkɔpae mu nka sɛ,
11 And the dust that hath cleaved to us, from your city, we do wipe off against you, but this know ye, that the reign of God hath come nigh to you;
‘Mo kurom ha mfuturo a ɛwɔ yɛn nan ase mpo, yɛreporoporo agu, de atia mo; na mmom monhunu pefee sɛ, Onyankopɔn Ahennie no abɛn.’
12 and I say to you, that for Sodom in that day it shall be more tolerable than for that city.
Mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, saa kuro no, asɛm a ɛbɛto wɔn Atemmuo da no bɛsene deɛ ɛtoo Sodom no.
13 'Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, they had reformed;
“Korasin, due! Betsaida, due! Anwanwadeɛ a meyɛɛ wɔ mo mu no, sɛ meyɛɛ wɔ Tiro ne Sidon a, anka ɛhɔfoɔ no de awerɛhoɔ ne ahonuo asakyera wɔn adwene dada.
14 but for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment than for you.
Atemmuo da no, asɛm a ɛbɛto wɔn no bɛsene deɛ ɛbɛto Tiro ne Sidon.
15 'And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades thou shalt be brought down. (Hadēs g86)
Na wo Kapernaum, wopɛ sɛ woma wo ho so, nanso wɔbɛbrɛ wo ase de wo akɔ asaman. (Hadēs g86)
16 'He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.'
“Obiara a ɔtie mo no tie me, na deɛ ɔpo mo no po me, na deɛ ɔpo me no nso po deɛ ɔsomaa me no.”
17 And the seventy turned back with joy, saying, 'Sir, and the demons are being subjected to us in thy name;'
Aduɔson no sane de anigyeɛ baeɛ bɛbɔɔ amaneɛ sɛ, “Awurade, wo din enti, ahonhommɔne mpo abrɛ wɔn ho ase ama yɛn.”
18 and he said to them, 'I was beholding the Adversary, as lightning from the heaven having fallen;
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mehunuu sɛ ɔbonsam rete afiri ɔsoro sɛ anyinam abɛhwe fam.
19 lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you;
Mama mo tumi ne ahoɔden a mode bɛtiatia awɔ ne anyanyankyerɛ ne ɔtamfoɔ no tumi biara a ɔwɔ so, na biribiara nso rentumi mo.
20 but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.'
Nanso mommma mo ani nnye sɛ ahonhommɔne brɛ wɔn ho ase ma mo, na mmom, momma mo ani nnye sɛ wɔatwerɛ mo din wɔ ɔsoro.”
21 In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, 'I do confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before Thee.
Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu, Yesu de Honhom Kronkron mu anigyeɛ bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Agya, ɔsoro ne asasewura, meda wo ase sɛ wode saa nneɛma yi ahinta wɔn a wɔsusu sɛ wɔyɛ anyansafoɔ, na mmom woada nokorɛ no adi akyerɛ wɔn a wɔde ahobrɛaseɛ gye wo di sɛ mmɔfra no. Nanso, Agya, wo pɛ mu na woma ɛbaa saa.
22 'All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal [Him].'
“Mʼagya de nneɛma nyinaa ahyɛ me nsa; na obiara nnim Ɔba no, gye Agya no. Saa ara nso na obiara nnim Agya no, gye Ɔba no ne wɔn a Ɔba no bɛda Agya no adi akyerɛ wɔn no.”
23 And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, 'Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye perceive;
Ɛkaa ɔne nʼasuafoɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Nhyira ne aniwa a ɛhunu deɛ mohunu!
24 for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what ye perceive, and did not see, and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear.'
Ɛfiri sɛ, adiyifoɔ ne ahene pii pɛɛ sɛ anka wɔhunu deɛ mohunu yi na wɔte deɛ mote yi, nanso wɔanhunu na wɔante.”
25 And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, 'Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?' (aiōnios g166)
Mmaranimfoɔ bi pɛɛ sɛ ɔsɔ Yesu hwɛ enti ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, menyɛ dɛn na manya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ?” (aiōnios g166)
26 And he said unto him, 'In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?'
Yesu nso bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wɔatwerɛ wɔ Mose mmara no mu? Na wote aseɛ sɛn?”
27 And he answering said, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.'
Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Mmara no ka sɛ, ‘Fa wʼakoma, ne wo kra, ne wʼahoɔden, ne wʼadwene nyinaa dɔ Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, na dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho!’”
28 And he said to him, 'Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.'
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Woabua no yie. Yɛ yeinom na wobɛnya nkwa.”
29 And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto Jesus, 'And who is my neighbour?'
Nanso, ɔbarima no pɛɛ sɛ ɔkyerɛ sɛ ɔdi mmara no nyinaa so enti, ɔbisaa Yesu sɛ, “Hwan ne me yɔnko?”
30 and Jesus having taken up [the word], said, 'A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving [him] half dead.
Yesu nso maa no mfatoho bi sɛ, “Ɛda bi na ɔbarima bi retu ɛkwan firi Yerusalem akɔ Yeriko. Na ɔnam ɛkwan so no, ɔkɔtɔɔ akwanmukafoɔ mu na wɔgyee ne ho nneɛma nyinaa, hwee no, pirapiraa no ma ɔtɔɔ baha, gyaa no too kwankyɛn kɔeɛ.
31 'And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;
Ankyɛre biara, Yudani ɔsɔfoɔ bi bɛpuee ne so, nanso ɔmane faa nkyɛn kɔeɛ.
32 and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.
Saa ara nso na Lewini bi nso bɛpuee ne so mane faa nkyɛn.
33 'But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,
Ankyɛre biara na Samariani bi nso bɛpuee hɔ. Ɔhunuu no no, ɔyɛɛ no mmɔbɔ.
34 and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;
Ɔkɔkotoo ne nkyɛn, hohoroo nʼapirakuro no anim, de aduro guguu mu, kyekyereeɛ. Afei, ɔmaa no so de no tenaa nʼafunumu so dii aboa no nkyɛn de no kɔɔ ahɔhobea bi hwɛɛ no anadwo mu no nyinaa.
35 and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to thee.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, ɔgyaa ahɔhobea sohwɛfoɔ no sika a ɛbɛso no hwɛ sɛ ɔmfa nhwɛ no. Ɔsane hyɛɛ no bɔ sɛ, ‘Ɛka foforɔ biara a wobɛbɔ wɔ ne ho no, mɛba abɛtua.’
36 'Who, then, of these three, seemeth to thee to have become neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?'
“Afei, saa nnipa baasa yi mu hwan na ɔyɛɛ ne yɔnko?”
37 and he said, 'He who did the kindness with him,' then Jesus said to him, 'Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.'
Mmaranimfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Deɛ ɔhunuu opirafoɔ no mmɔbɔ no.” Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo nso, kɔ na kɔyɛ saa ara.”
38 And it came to pass, in their going on, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, did receive him into her house,
Ɛbaa sɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ rekɔ Yerusalem no, wɔkɔduruu akuraa bi ase. Wɔduruu hɔ no, ɔbaa bi a wɔfrɛ no Marta de no kɔɔ ne fie.
39 and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,
Marta nuabaa bi a wɔfrɛ no Maria tenaa fam wɔ Yesu nkyɛn tiee no.
40 and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by him, she said, 'Sir, dost thou not care that my sister left me alone to serve? say then to her, that she may partake along with me.'
Saa ɛberɛ no, Marta a nʼani abere reyɛ aduane no baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade, mayɛ adwuma abrɛ enti ka kyerɛ Maria na ɔmmɛsɔ me mu.”
41 And Jesus answering said to her, 'Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and disquieted about many things,
Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Marta, Marta, wodwennwene ha wo ho wɔ nneɛma pii ho.
42 but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.'
Adeɛ baako pɛ na ɛhia; ɛno na Maria afa no; na wɔrennye mfiri ne nsam.”
