Luka 10
1 Eyi akyi no, Yesu yii nʼakyidifo no mu aduɔson somaa wɔn baanu baanu kɔɔ nkurow ne nkuraa a akyiri no ɔbɛkɔ hɔ no so.
After this the appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two before his face, into every city and place into which he himself intended to go.
2 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Otwa adwuma no dɔɔso, nanso adwumayɛfo no sua. Enti monsrɛ adwumawura no na ɔmma adwumayɛfo bebree mmra ne twa adwuma no mu.
And he thus addressed them. "The harvest is abundant, but the harvesters are few. do you therefore pray the lord of the harvest to send forth harvesters into his harvest.
3 Monkɔ, na meresoma mo sɛ nguan akɔ mpataku mu.
"Go your way; behold, I am sending you forth like lambs among wolves.
4 Mommfa sika, akwantu kotoku anaa mpaboa; na munnkyia obiara nso a mubehyia no wɔ ɔkwan so.
"Carry no purse, no bag, no shoes; and do not salute any one on your journey.
5 “Sɛ mokɔ ofi biara mu a, munni kan nkyia ofie hɔfo no se, ‘Asomdwoe nka mo!’
"Into whatever you first enter, say, ‘Peace be to this house!’
6 Na sɛ asomdwoe ba bi wɔ hɔ a, mo asomdwoe bɛba ne so; na sɛ obi a ɔte saa nni hɔ a, mo asomdwoe bɛsan aba mo nkyɛn.
"And if there be any son of peace there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not it shall return to you.
7 Ofi biara a mokɔ mu no, momma hɔ nyɛ mo atenae; aduan biara a wɔde bɛma mo no, munni efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ odwumayɛni biara nya nʼadwumayɛ so akatua; munnni atutena wɔ afi mu.
"Stay in that same house, eating and drinking what they give. for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Do not go from house to house.
8 “Na sɛ mokɔ kurow biara mu na wogye mo fɛw so a, aduan biara a wɔde bɛma mo no munni.
"And whatever town you come to, and they receive you, eat whatever they put before you.
9 Monsa kurow no mu ayarefo yare, na monka nkyerɛ ɛhɔfo nyinaa se, ‘Onyankopɔn ahenni no abɛn mo.’
"Heal the sick in that town and tell them, The kingdom of God draws near to you.
10 Nanso sɛ mokɔ kurow biara mu na wɔannye mo fɛw so a monkɔ ne mmɔnten so nkɔpae mu nka se,
"But whatever town you enter, and they do not receive you, Go out into the streets and cry,
11 ‘Mo kurom ha mfutuma a ɛwɔ yɛn nan ase mpo, yɛreporoporow agu, de atia mo; na mmom munhu pefee sɛ, Onyankopɔn ahenni no abɛn.’
"‘The very dust of your town which clings to your feet we wipe off as protest; but know this, that the kingdom of God is drawing near to you.’
12 Mereka akyerɛ mo se, saa kurow no, asɛm a ɛbɛto wɔn atemmuda no bɛsen nea ɛtoo Sodom no.
"For I tell you that it will be mare tolerable for Sodom in that day than for that town.
13 “Korasin, due! Betsaida, due! Anwonwade a meyɛɛ wɔ mo mu no, sɛ meyɛɛ wɔ Tiro ne Sidon a, anka ɛhɔfo no de awerɛhow ne ahonu asakra wɔn adwene dedaw.
"Woe unto you, Chorazin! Woe unto you, Bethsaida! For had the mighty been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Atemmuda no, asɛm a ɛbɛto wɔn no bɛsen nea ɛbɛto Tiro ne Sidon.
"However, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
"And you Capernaum, shall you be exalted to heaven? No! you shall be brought down to Hades! (Hadēs g86)
16 “Obiara a otie mo no tie me, na nea ɔpo mo no po me, na nea ɔpo me no nso po nea ɔsomaa me no.”
"He who listens to you listens to me. and he who rejects you, rejects me; he who rejects me, rejects him who sent me."
17 Aduɔson no san de anigye ba bɛbɔɔ amanneɛ se, “Awurade, wo din nti ahonhommɔne mpo abrɛ wɔn ho ase ama yɛn.”
Then the Seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord even the demons are subject to us in your name."
18 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mihuu sɛ ɔbonsam retew afi ɔsoro sɛ anyinam abɛhwe fam.
And he said to them. "I watched Satan fall from heaven like a lightning flash.
19 Mama mo tumi ne ahoɔden a mode betiatia awɔ ne nkekantwɛre ne ɔtamfo no tumi biara a ɔwɔ so na biribiara nso rentumi mo.
"Behold, I give you the power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and to trample on all the power of the enemy. In no case shall anything do you harm.
20 Nanso mommma mo ani nnye sɛ ahonhommɔne brɛ wɔn ho ase ma mo, na mmom, momma mo ani nnye sɛ wɔakyerɛw mo din wɔ ɔsoro.”
"Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in Heaven."
21 Saa bere no ara mu na Yesu de Honhom Kronkron mu anigye bɔɔ mpae se, “Agya, ɔsoro ne asase wura, meda wo ase sɛ wode saa nneɛma yi ahintaw wɔn a wosusuw sɛ wɔyɛ anyansafo, na mmom woada nokware no adi akyerɛ wɔn a wɔde ahobrɛase gye wo di sɛ mmofra no. Nanso Agya, wo pɛ mu na woma ɛbaa saa.
In the same hour he thrilled with joy in the Holy Ghost. "I praise thee, Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth," he said "for hiding these things from the wise and prudent, and for revealing them to babes. Yea, Father, for so it was well pleasing in thy sight!
22 “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.”
"All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father; and who the Father is except the Son, and he the Son wishes to reveal him."
23 Ɛkaa ɔne nʼasuafo no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Nhyira ne aniwa a ehu nea muhu!
And turning to his disciples he said privately. "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see!
24 Efisɛ adiyifo ne ahene pii pɛe sɛ anka wohu nea muhu yi na wɔte nea mote yi, nanso wɔanhu na wɔante.”
"For I tell you that many prophets and kings have longed to see what you see, and have seen it; and to hear what you hear, and have heard it not.’
25 Mmaranimfo bi pɛɛ sɛ ɔsɔ Yesu hwɛ nti obisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, menyɛ dɛn na manya nkwa a enni awiei?” (aiōnios g166)
Then a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him. "Master," he said "what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" (aiōnios g166)
26 Yesu nso bisaa no se, “Dɛn na wɔakyerɛw wɔ Mose mmara no mu? Na wote ase dɛn?”
And he said to him. "What is written in the Law? What do you read there?"
27 Obuaa no se, “Mmara no ka se, ‘Fa wo koma, ne wo kra, ne wʼahoɔden, ne wʼadwene nyinaa dɔ Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, na dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho!’”
"You must love the Lord your God," he answered, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."
28 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Woabua no yiye. Yɛ eyinom na wubenya nkwa.”
"You have answered right," said Jesus "do that and you shall live."
29 Nanso ɔbarima no pɛɛ sɛ ɔkyerɛ sɛ odi mmara no nyinaa so nti, obisaa Yesu se, “Hena ne me yɔnko?”
But he, determined to justify himself, said to Jesus, "But who is my neighbor?" Jesus answered.
30 Yesu nso maa no mfatoho bi se, “Da bi, na ɔbarima bi retu kwan afi Yerusalem akɔ Yeriko. Na ɔnam ɔkwan so no, ɔkɔtɔɔ akwamukafo mu na wogyee ne ho nneɛma nyinaa, hwee no, pirapiraa no ma ɔtɔɔ beraw, gyaw no too ɔkwan kyɛn kɔe.
"A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell among bandits who both stripped him and beat him, and went off leaving him half dead.
31 Ankyɛ biara, Yudani sɔfo bi bepuee ne so, nanso ɔman faa nkyɛn kɔe.
"Now a certain priest chanced to be going down that way, but on seeing him he passed on the other side.
32 Saa ara nso na Lewini bi nso bepuee ne so man faa nkyɛn.
"In like manner also a Levite who came to the spot, came and looked at him, and passed on the other side.
33 Ankyɛ biara na Samariani bi nso beduu hɔ. Ohuu no no, ɔyɛɛ no mmɔbɔ.
"But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was, and when he saw him was moved with compassion.
34 Ɔkɔkotow ne nkyɛn, hohoroo nʼapirakuru no anim, de aduru guguu mu, kyekyeree. Afei ɔmaa no so de no tenaa nʼafurum so dii aboa no nkyɛn de no kɔɔ ahɔhobea bi hwɛɛ no anadwo mu no nyinaa.
"He went to him bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine. He set him on his own beast, and took him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Ade kyee no ogyaw ahɔhobea sohwɛfo no sika a ɛbɛso no hwɛ sɛ ɔmfa nhwɛ no. Ɔsan hyɛɛ no bɔ se, ‘Ka foforo biara a wobɛbɔ wɔ ne ho no, mɛba abetua.’
"The next day he took two silver pieces and gave them to the landlord and said, "‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend I will repay it to you on my way back.’
36 “Afei saa nnipa baasa yi mu hena na ɔyɛɛ ne yɔnko?”
"Which then of these three seems to you to have behaved like a neighbor to the man who fell among bandits?"
37 Mmaranimfo no buae se, “Nea ohuu opirafo no mmɔbɔ no.” Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo nso, kɔ na kɔyɛ saa ara.”
He replied, "The one who showed mercy on him." "Go, then," said Jesus, "and do likewise."
38 Ɛbaa sɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafo rekɔ Yerusalem no, wokoduu akuraa bi ase. Woduu hɔ no, ɔbea bi a wɔfrɛ no Marta de no kɔɔ ne fi.
It happened as they went on their way that he entered into a certain village were a woman named Martha received him into her house.
39 Marta nuabea bi a wɔfrɛ no Maria tenaa fam wɔ Yesu nkyɛn tiee no.
She had a sister named Mary, who after seating herself at the Lord’s feet was listening to his teaching.
40 Saa bere no, Marta a nʼani abere reyɛ aduan no baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Awurade, mayɛ adwuma abrɛ, nti ka kyerɛ Maria na ommeso mu mma me.”
But Martha meanwhile was growing distracted about much serving. She came up to him and said. "Lord do you not care that my sister has left me alone to do the serving? Come tell her to take hold of her end of the work along with me."
41 Awurade buaa no se, “Marta, Marta, wudwinnwen haw wo ho wɔ nneɛma pii ho.
"Martha, Martha," said Jesus, "you are anxious and worried about many things,
42 Ade baako pɛ na ehia; ɛno na Maria afa no; na wɔrennye mfi ne nsam.”
"only one thing is really necessary. Mary, moreover, has chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her."
