Yohane 12
1 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.
Then Iesus, sixe dayes before the Passeouer, came to Bethania, where Lazarus was, who died, whom he had raised from the dead.
2 Wɔtoo Yesu pon. Marta na ɔsomee wɔ saa aponto yi ase. Lasaro tenaa Yesu nkyɛn pɛɛ wɔ ɔpon no ho.
There they made him a supper, and Martha serued: but Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table with him.
3 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.
Then tooke Mary a pound of oyntment of Spikenarde very costly, and anoynted Iesus feete, and wiped his feete with her heare, and the house was filled with the sauour of the oyntment.
4 Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ asuafo no mu baako a akyiri no obeyi Yesu ama no ani annye nea ɔbea yi yɛe no ho,
Then said one of his disciples, euen Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne, which should betray him:
5 enti ɔkae se, “Adɛn nti na woantɔn saa ngohuam yi na yɛamfa sika no amma ahiafo?”
Why was not this oyntment sold for three hundreth pence, and giuen to the poore?
6 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.
Nowe he said this, not that he cared for the poore, but because hee was a theefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was giuen.
7 Yesu kae se, “Munnyaa ɔbea yi haw! Nea ɔbea yi ayɛ yi, ɔde asiesie me ama me wu.
Then said Iesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying she kept it.
8 Mo ne ahiafo na ɛwɔ hɔ bere biara, na me de, me ne mo rentena hɔ daa.”
For the poore alwayes yee haue with you, but me ye shall not haue alwayes.
9 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.
Then much people of the Iewes knewe that hee was there: and they came, not for Iesus sake onely, but that they might see Lazarus also, whome he had raysed from the dead.
10 Afei, asɔfo mpanyin no bɔɔ pɔw sɛ wobekum Lasaro nso,
The hie Priestes therefore consulted, that they might put Lazarus to death also,
11 efisɛ esiane Lasaro wusɔre no nti, na nnipa bebree retwe wɔn ho afi Yudafo mpanyin no ho abedi Yesu akyi.
Because that for his sake many of the Iewes went away, and beleeued in Iesus.
12 Ade kyee no, nnipadɔm a wɔaba Twam Afahyɛ no tee sɛ Yesu reba Yerusalem no,
On the morowe a great multitude that were come to the feast, when they heard that Iesus should come to Hierusalem,
13 wobubuu berɛw de kohyiaa no kwan de ahurusi teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Hosiana!” “Nhyira nka nea ɔreba wɔ Awurade din mu no!” “Nhyira nka Israelhene!”
Tooke branches of palme trees, and went foorth to meete him, and cried, Hosanna, Blessed is the King of Israel that commeth in the Name of the Lord.
14 Yesu rekɔ no, na ɔte afurum ba bi so sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm hyɛɛ ho nkɔm se,
And Iesus found a yong asse, and sate thereon, as it is written,
15 “Nsuro, Ɔbabea Sion! Hwɛ sɛ wo hene te afurum ba so reba wo nkyɛn.”
Feare not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King commeth sitting on an asses colte.
16 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.
But his disciples vnderstoode not these thinges at the first: but when Iesus was glorified, then remembred they, that these thinges were written of him, and that they had done these things vnto him.
17 Nnipa a na wɔwɔ hɔ a wohuu sɛ Yesu nyan Lasaro fii awufo mu no kaa asɛm a esii no kyerɛɛ afoforo.
The people therefore that was with him, bare witnesse that hee called Lazarus out of the graue, and raised him from the dead.
18 Eyi nti na nnipa bebree kɔɔ se wɔrekohyia Yesu kwan no, efisɛ na wɔate sɛ wayɛ anwonwade.
Therefore mette him the people also, because they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 Farisifo no huu nea ɛrekɔ so no, wɔkae se, “Anyɛ yiye! Monhwɛ sɛ nnipa no nyinaa atu adi nʼakyi!”
And the Pharises said among themselues, Perceiue ye howe ye preuaile nothing? Beholde, the worlde goeth after him.
20 Afahyɛbere no mu no, Helafo bi nso kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔrekɔsom.
Nowe there were certaine Greekes among them that came vp to worship at the feast.
21 Wɔkɔɔ Filipo a ofi Betsaida no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, yɛpɛ sɛ yehu Yesu.”
And they came to Philippe, which was of Bethsaida in Galile, and desired him, saying, Syr, we would see that Iesus.
22 Filipo kɔbɔɔ Andrea amanneɛ ma wɔn baanu kɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu.
Philippe came and tolde Andrew: and againe Andrew and Philippe tolde Iesus.
23 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Bere no aso sɛ wɔbɛhyɛ Onipa Ba no anuonyam.
And Iesus answered them, saying, The houre is come, that the Sonne of man must bee glorified.
24 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.
Verely, verely I say vnto you, Except the wheate corne fall into the grounde and die, it bideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth foorth much fruite.
25 Obiara a ɔdɔ ne kra no bɛhwere ne nkwa, na nea ɔnnɔ ne kra no benya nkwa a enni awiei. (aiōnios g166)
He that loueth his life, shall lose it, and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keepe it vnto life eternall. (aiōnios g166)
26 Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsom me no, ɛsɛ sɛ odi mʼakyi, na baabiara a mewɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ mʼasomfo nso wɔ hɔ bi.”
If any man serue me, let him follow me: for where I am, there shall also my seruant be: and if any man serue me, him will my Father honour.
27 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.
Now is my soule troubled: and what shall I say? Father, saue me from this houre: but therefore came I vnto this houre.
28 Agya, hyɛ wo din anuonyam!” Ɔkasa wiee no, nne bi fi ɔsoro kae se, “Mahyɛ no anuonyam dedaw na mɛsan mahyɛ no bio.”
Father, glorifie thy Name. Then came there a voyce from heauen, saying, I haue both glorified it, and will glorifie it againe.
29 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.
Then saide the people that stoode by, and heard, that it was a thunder: other said, An Angel spake to him.
30 Nanso Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo nti na saa nne yi kasae na ɛnyɛ me nti.
Iesus answered, and said, This voyce came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31 Afei, bere adu sɛ wobu wiase atɛn na wotu ɔbonsam a odi wiase so no gu.
Now is the iudgement of this world: nowe shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 Sɛ wonya ma me so fi asase so a, mɛtwe nnipa nyinaa aba me nkyɛn.”
And I, if I were lift vp from the earth, will drawe all men vnto me.
33 Ɔkaa eyi de kyerɛɛ owu ko a obewu no.
Nowe this sayd he, signifying what death he should die.
34 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)
The people answered him, We haue heard out of the Law, that that Christ bideth for euer: and howe sayest thou, that that Sonne of man must be lift vp? Who is that Sonne of man? (aiōn g165)
35 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.
Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Yet a litle while is the light with you: walke while ye haue that light, lest the darkenes come vpon you: for hee that walketh in the darke, knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 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.
While ye haue that light, beleeue in that light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Iesus, and departed, and hid himselfe from them.
37 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na Yesu ayɛ anwonwade ahorow ama Yudafo no ahu de, nanso na wonnye no nni ara.
And though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleeued they not on him,
38 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?”
That the saying of Esaias the Prophete might be fulfilled, that he sayd, Lord, who beleeued our report? and to whome is the arme of the Lord reueiled?
39 Yudafo no annye anni efisɛ, na Odiyifo Yesaia asan aka se,
Therefore could they not beleeue, because that Esaias saith againe,
40 “Onyankopɔn afura wɔn ani, na wapirim wɔn koma, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔrentumi nnan mma me nkyɛn na masa wɔn yare.”
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they shoulde not see with their eyes, nor vnderstand with their heart, and should be conuerted, and I should heale them.
41 Yesaia kaa eyi faa Yesu anuonyam a daakye obenya a Onyankopɔn yi kyerɛɛ no no ho.
These things sayd Esaias when he sawe his glory, and spake of him.
42 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.
Neuertheles, euen among the chiefe rulers, many beleeued in him: but because of the Pharises they did not confesse him, least they should be cast out of the Synagogue.
43 Na wɔpɛ sɛ nnipa bɛkamfo wɔn sen sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛhyɛ wɔn anuonyam.
For they loued the prayse of men, more then the prayse of God.
44 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.
And Iesus cryed, and sayd, He that beleeueth in me, beleeueth not in me, but in him that sent me.
45 Na nea ohu me no hu nea ɔsomaa me no nso.
And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
46 Maba wiase sɛ hann, na obiara a ogye me di no ankɔ so antena sum mu.
I am come a light into the world, that whosoeuer beleeueth in me, should not abide in darkenes.
47 “Obiara a ɔte mʼasɛm na onni so no, meremmu no atɛn. Efisɛ mamma sɛ merebebu nnipa atɛn, na mmom, mebae sɛ merebegye wɔn nkwa.
And if any man heare my wordes, and beleeue not, I iudge him not: for I came not to iudge the world, but to saue the world.
48 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.
He that refuseth me, and receiueth not my wordes, hath one that iudgeth him: the worde that I haue spoken, it shall iudge him in the last day.
49 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.
For I haue not spoken of my selfe: but the Father which sent me, hee gaue me a commandement what I should say, and what I should speake.
50 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)
And I knowe that his commandement is life euerlasting: the thinges therefore that I speake, I speake them so as the Father sayde vnto me. (aiōnios g166)
