Matthew 10
1 And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave to them power over unclean spirits, so as to be casting them out, and to be healing every sickness, and every malady.
Yesu frɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ dumienu no baa ne nkyɛn, na ɔmaa wɔn tumi sɛ wɔntu ahonhommɔne na wɔnsa nyarewa ne ahoɔmmerɛ nyinaa.
2 And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Yesu asuafoɔ dumienu no din nie: Simon a ne din baako ne Petro ne ne nua Andrea; Yakobo ne ne nua Yohane a wɔyɛ Sebedeo mma no,
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;
Filipo ne Bartolomeo, Toma ne ɔtogyefoɔ Mateo, Yakobo, Alfeo ba ɛne Tadeo,
4 Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up.
Simon a ɔfiri Kana ne Yuda Iskariot a akyire yi, ɔyii Yesu maeɛ no.
5 These twelve did Jesus send forth, having given command to them, saying, 'To the way of the nations go not away, and into a city of the Samaritans go not in,
Yesu somaa asuafoɔ dumienu no hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnkɔ deɛ amanamanmufoɔ wɔ anaa Samariafoɔ kuro biara mu,
6 and be going rather unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
na mmom, monkɔ Onyankopɔn nnwan a wɔwɔ Israel a wɔayera no nkyɛn.
7 'And, going on, proclaim saying that, the reign of the heavens hath come nigh;
Monkɔka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn Ahennie no abɛn!’
8 infirm ones be healing, lepers be cleansing, dead be raising, demons be casting out — freely ye did receive, freely give.
Monsa ayarefoɔ yadeɛ, monnyane awufoɔ, momma akwatafoɔ ho nte, na montu ahonhommɔne. Sɛdeɛ monyaa no kwa no, saa ara na mo nso momfa mma kwa.
9 'Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles,
“Mommfa sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ anaa kɔbere biara mmɔ mo ho.
10 nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff — for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
Mommfa akwantubɔtɔ anaa ntadeɛ anaa mpaboa anaa poma mmienu. Ɛsɛ sɛ odwumayɛfoɔ didi.
11 'And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire ye who in it is worthy, and there abide, till ye may go forth.
Kuro biara a mobɛkɔ mu anaa akuraa biara a mobɛkɔ aseɛ no, monhwehwɛ onipa a onyamesuro wɔ ne mu akyiri kwan na montena ne nkyɛn kɔsi da a mobɛfiri hɔ akɔ baabi foforɔ.
12 And coming to the house salute it,
Sɛ mokɔ efie bi mu a, monkyea wɔn sɛ, ‘Asomdwoeɛ nka mo!’
13 and if indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to you.
Sɛ saa efie no mufoɔ gye mo fɛ so a, monhyira wɔn, na sɛ wɔannye mo deɛ a, monnhyira wɔn.
14 'And whoever may not receive you nor hear your words, coming forth from that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet,
Sɛ morefiri efie anaa kuro biara a wɔannye mo wɔ mu no mu akɔ a, momporoporo efie no anaa kuro no mu mfuturo a ɛwɔ mo nan ase no ngu hɔ.
15 verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
Nokorɛ nie, Atemmuo da no, Sodom ne Gomora mpo bɛnya baabi agyina wɔ Onyankopɔn anim sene saa kuro no.
16 'Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves.
“Monkae sɛ meresoma mo sɛ nnwan akɔ mpataku mu. Monyɛ anifire sɛ awɔ na monnwo sɛ mmorɔnoma.
17 And, take ye heed of men, for they will give you up to sanhedrims, and in their synagogues they will scourge you,
Nanso, monhwɛ yie wɔ nnipa ho! Wɔbɛkyere mo, adi mo asɛm, abɔ mo mmaa wɔ wɔn asɔredan mu.
18 and before governors and kings ye shall be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
Me enti, wɔde mo bɛkɔ atumfoɔ ne ahene anim. Yei bɛma mo anya ɛkwan aka asɛmpa no akyerɛ wɔn ne amanamanmufoɔ no.
19 'And whenever they may deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye may speak, for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;
Sɛ wɔkyere mo a, monnnwene asɛm a mobɛka de ayi mo ho ano. Wɔde asɛm a mobɛka no bɛma mo ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu.
20 for ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking in you.
Asɛm a mobɛka no remfiri mo, na mmom, mo ɔsoro Agya no honhom na ɔnam mo so bɛkasa.
21 'And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,
“Onua bɛyi onua ama sɛ wɔakum no. Saa ara na agyanom nso bɛyi wɔn mma ama. Mma bɛsɔre atia wɔn awofoɔ ama wɔakum wɔn.
22 and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end, he shall be saved.
Me enti, nnipa nyinaa bɛtan mo. Nanso, deɛ ɔbɛtumi agyina pintinn akɔsi awieeɛ no, wɔbɛgye no nkwa.
23 'And whenever they may persecute you in this city, flee to the other, for verily I say to you, ye may not have completed the cities of Israel till the Son of Man may come.
Sɛ wɔtaa mo kuro baako mu a, monnwane nkɔ kuro foforɔ mu. Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, morenwie Israel nkuro nyinaa mu adwumayɛ ansa na Onipa Ba no aba.
24 'A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord;
“Osuani nsene ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, na akoa nso nsene ne wura.
25 sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household?
Osuani sua ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, na akoa nso sua ne wura. Enti, sɛ me a meyɛ efie no ti no wɔfrɛ me ‘Ɔbonsam’ a, ɛdeɛn din na wɔremfa mfrɛ mo!
26 'Ye may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known;
“Monnsuro wɔn a wɔbɛhunahuna mo. Mmerɛ bi bɛba a nokorɛ no bɛda adi. Deɛ wɔyɛ no kɔkoam no nyinaa bɛda adi.
27 that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the house-tops.
Deɛ mereka makyerɛ mo wɔ esum mu yi, monka wɔ hann mu. Deɛ mereka agu mo asom yi, mompae mu nka wɔ adan atifi.
28 'And be not afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but fear rather Him who is able both soul and body to destroy in gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Monnsuro wɔn a wɔbɛtumi akum mo onipadua nanso wɔrentumi nkum mo kra no. Onyankopɔn a ɔbɛtumi akum onipadua no ne ɔkra wɔ amanehunu kurom no nko ara na monsuro no. (Geenna g1067)
29 'Are not two sparrows sold for an assar? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father;
Wɔtɔn akasanoma gye ahe? Mmienu boɔ nyɛ sika bi pɛ? Nanso akasanoma biara nni hɔ a ɔbɛwu a mo Agya no nnim ho biribi.
30 and of you — even the hairs of the head are all numbered;
Mo tirinwi mpo, wɔakan ne nyinaa.
31 be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better.
Enti, monnsuro! Mosom bo ma Onyankopɔn sene nkasanoma.
32 'Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens;
“Obiara a ɔbɛka sɛ ɔnim me nnipa anim no, me nso mɛka sɛ menim no mʼagya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no anim.
33 and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.
Nanso, obiara a ɔbɛka sɛ ɔnnim me nnipa anim no, me nso mɛka sɛ mennim no wɔ mʼagya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no anim.
34 'Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword;
“Monnsusu sɛ mede asomdwoeɛ na ɛbaa asase yi so! Ɛnyɛ asomdwoeɛ na mmom akofena na mede baeɛ.
35 for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,
Maba sɛ mɛma “‘ɔbabarima asɔre atia nʼagya, na ɔbabaa asɔre atia ne maame, na ɔbaa warefoɔ nso asɔre atia nʼasebaa.
36 and the enemies of a man are those of his household.
Obiara ɔtamfoɔ a ne ho yɛ hu no bɛfiri nʼankasa ne fie.’
37 'He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me,
“Deɛ ɔdɔ nʼagya anaa ne maame kyɛn me no rentumi nyɛ me deɛ. Saa ara na deɛ ɔdɔ ne babarima anaa ne babaa kyɛn me no rentumi nyɛ me deɛ ara no no.
38 and whoever doth not receive his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
Sɛ obi amfa nʼasɛnnua na wammɛdi mʼakyi a, ɔrentumi nyɛ me deɛ.
39 'He who found his life shall lose it, and he who lost his life for my sake shall find it.
Sɛ woma wo ɔkra som wo bo a, wobɛhwere wo ɔkra no, nanso sɛ me enti wohwere wo ɔkra a, wo nsa bɛka.
40 'He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me,
“Obiara a ɔgye mo no gye me, na deɛ ɔgye me no nso gye Onyankopɔn a ɔsomaa me no.
41 he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward,
Sɛ wogye odiyifoɔ bi sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn onipa enti a, wɔbɛtua wo so ka sɛ odiyifoɔ no ara pɛ. Na sɛ wogye nnipa tenenee a, wobɛnya akatua sɛ onipa tenenee.
42 and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward.'
Na obiara a ɔbɛma mʼakyidifoɔ yi mu akumaa bi nsuo anom no, onii no akatua remmɔ no da.”
