Luka 20
1 Da bi a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan mu no, asɔfo mpanyin, Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo ne ɔman no mu mpanyin kobisaa no se,
And it came to passe, that on one of those dayes, as he taught the people in the Temple, and preached the Gospel, the hie Priests and the Scribes came vpon him with the Elders,
2 “Tumi bɛn na wowɔ a wode yɛ saa nneɛma yi; na hena nso na ɔmaa wo saa tumi no?”
And spake vnto him, saying, Tell vs by what authoritie thou doest these things, or who is hee that hath giuen thee this authoritie?
3 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Me nso mewɔ asɛm bi bisa mo. Monka nkyerɛ me.
And he answered, and sayde vnto them, I also will aske you one thing: tell me therefore:
4 Tumi bɛn na Yohane de bɔɔ asu; efi Onyankopɔn anaa efi onipa?”
The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men?
5 Wɔfaa ho adwene kae se, “Sɛ yɛka se efi Onyankopɔn a obebisa yɛn se, ‘ɛno de, adɛn nti na moannye no anni?’
And they reasoned within themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say, Why then beleeued ye him not?
6 Sɛ nso yɛka se efi onipa a, ɔman mu no nyinaa besiw yɛn abo, efisɛ wonim sɛ Yohane yɛ odiyifo.”
But if we shall say, Of men, all the people will stone vs: for they be perswaded that Iohn was a Prophet.
7 Ewiee ase no, wobuae se, “Yennim.”
Therefore they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
8 Yesu nso ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛno de, me nso meremma mo mo asɛmmisa no ho mmuae.”
Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Neither tell I you, by what authoritie I doe these things.
9 Yesu buu wɔn bɛ bi se, “Ɔbarima bi yɛɛ bobeturo de hyɛɛ apaafo bi nsa sɛ wɔnhwɛ so mma no. Eyi akyi, otuu kwan kɔɔ akyirikyiri baabi kɔtenaa hɔ kyɛe.
Then began he to speake to ye people this parable, A certaine man planted a vineyarde, and let it forth to husbandmen: and went into a strange countrey, for a great time.
10 Bobetew bere dui no, ɔbarima yi somaa ne somfo se onkogye aduaba no bi mmrɛ no. Nanso apaafo no boroo no, ma ɔsan kɔɔ nsapan.
And at the time conuenient he sent a seruant to the husbandmen, that they should giue him of the fruite of the vineyard: but the husbandmen did beate him, and sent him away emptie.
11 Ɔsomaa ɔsomfo foforo ma ɔno nso wɔboroo no, bɔɔ no adapaa, ma ɔkɔɔ nsapan.
Againe he sent yet another seruant: and they did beate him, and foule entreated him, and sent him away emptie.
12 Ɔsan somaa ɔsomfo foforo na ɔno mpo de, wopirapiraa no pam no.
Moreouer he sent the third, and him they wounded, and cast out.
13 “Eyi maa bobeturo wura no kae se, ‘Dɛn na menyɛ bio? Mɛsoma me ba a medɔ no no akɔ wɔn nkyɛn na ɔno de, ebia wɔbɛfɛre no.’
Then sayd the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I doe? I will send my beloued sonne: it may be that they will doe reuerence, when they see him.
14 “Nanso bere a apaafo no huu no no, wɔkae se, ‘Ɔdedifo no ni, momma yenkum no na yɛmfa nʼagyapade no.’
But when the husbandmen sawe him, they reasoned with themselues, saying, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 Wɔtwee no fii afuw no mu kokum no. “Mugye di sɛ dɛn na afuw wura no bɛyɛ saa apaafo yi?
So they cast him out of the vineyarde, and killed him. What shall the Lord of the vineyarde therefore doe vnto them?
16 Ɔbɛba abekunkum saa apaafo yi na ɔde afuw no ama afoforo.” Nnipa a wɔretie Yesu no kae se, “Ɛmpare yɛn!”
He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and wil giue out his vineyard to others. But when they heard it, they sayd, God forbid.
17 Yesu hwɛɛ wɔn dinn bisaa wɔn se, “Ɛno de, na nea wɔakyerɛw se, “‘Ɔbo a adansifo apo no, ɛno ara na abɛyɛ tweatibo’ no ase ne dɛn?
And he beheld them, and said, What meaneth this then that is written, The stone that the builders refused, that is made the head of the corner?
18 Obiara a ɔbɛhwe ɔbo no so no, obebubu na nea ɔbo no bɛhwe ne so no nso bɛpɛtɛw.”
Whosoeuer shall fall vpon that stone, shall be broken: and on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to pouder.
19 Esiane sɛ Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo ne asɔfo mpanyin no huu se Yesu buu bɛ no tiaa wɔn nti wɔhwehwɛɛ ɔkwan a wɔbɛfa so akyere no saa bere no ara mu, nanso esiane nnipa a na wɔwɔ hɔ no nti na wosuro.
Then the hie Priests, and the Scribes the same houre went about to lay hands on him: (but they feared the people) for they perceiued that he had spoken this parable against them.
20 Esiane sɛ ɔpɛ ara na na nnipa no pɛ sɛ wɔkyere Yesu nti, wɔtetɛw no maa nnipa bi kɔɔ ne nkyɛn, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobenya nʼanom asɛm bi agyina so akyere no na wɔde no akɔ aban mu.
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should faine themselues iust men, to take him in his talke, and to deliuer him vnto the power and authoritie of the gouernour.
21 Saa nnipa yi bisaa Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yenim sɛ woyɛ ɔnokwafo, wonyɛ nyiyimu na wokyerɛ nokware kwan a wɔnam so kɔ Onyankopɔn nkyɛn.
And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest, and teachest right, neither doest thou accept mans person, but teachest the way of God truely.
22 Enti eye sɛ yetua tow ma Kaesare aban anaasɛ enye?”
Is it lawfull for vs to giue Cesar tribute or no?
23 Yesu huu wɔn adwemmɔne no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
But he perceiued their craftines, and sayd vnto them, Why tempt ye me?
24 “Momma me sika. Hena mfoni ne din na ɛwɔ so yi?” Wobuaa no se, “Ɛyɛ Kaesare dea.”
Shew me a penie. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and sayd, Cesars.
25 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛno de, momfa Kaesare de mma Kaesare na momfa Onyankopɔn de mma Onyankopɔn.”
Then he sayd vnto them, Giue then vnto Cesar the things which are Cesars, and to God those which are Gods.
26 Yesu mmuae a ɔmaa wɔn no yɛɛ wɔn nwonwa na wɔn adwemmɔne no nso kaa wɔn tirim.
And they could not reproue his saying before the people: but they marueiled at his answere, and helde their peace.
27 Sadukifo bi a wonnye owusɔre nni baa Yesu nkyɛn bebisaa no se,
Then came to him certaine of the Sadduces (which denie that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,
28 “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, Mose mmara no kyerɛ yɛn se, sɛ ɔbarima bi wɔ ɔyere na ɔne no anwo na owu a, ne nua tumi ware no ne no wo mma ma owufo no.
Saying, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.
29 Anuanom baason bi tenaa ase. Ɔpanyin a ɔwɔ mu no waree ɔbea a ɔne no anwo na owui.
Now there were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and he dyed without children.
30 Ne nua a odi nʼakyi no waree no nanso ɔne no anwo na owui.
And the second tooke the wife, and he dyed childelesse.
31 Anuanom a wɔaka no nyinaa nso waree no a obiara ne no anwo, na wowuwui.
Then the third tooke her: and so likewise the seuen dyed, and left no children.
32 Akyiri no ɔbea no nso wui.
And last of all the woman dyed also.
33 Yɛn asɛmmisa ne sɛ, esiane sɛ ɔbea yi waree anuanom yi nyinaa nti, owusɔre da no, wɔn mu hena na ɔbea yi bɛyɛ ne yere?”
Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? for seuen had her to wife.
Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, The children of this world marry wiues, and are married. (aiōn g165)
35 Na wɔn a owusɔre da no wobenya kwan akɔ Onyankopɔn Ahenni no mu de, aware ho renhia wɔn. (aiōn g165)
But they which shalbe counted worthy to enioy that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry wiues, neither are married. (aiōn g165)
36 Na owu nso nni hɔ mma wɔn bio, efisɛ wɔbɛyɛ sɛ ɔsoro abɔfo. Esiane sɛ wɔasɔre afi awufo mu no nti, wɔyɛ Onyankopɔn mma.
For they can die no more, forasmuch as they are equall vnto the Angels, and are the sonnes of God, since they are the children of the resurrection.
37 Afei mo asɛmmisa a ɛfa owusɔre ho no nso, Mose maa yehuu no pefee sɛ, owusɔre wɔ hɔ. Efisɛ nʼasɛm a ɔkyerɛw faa wura a na ɛredɛw no ho no, ɔbɔɔ Abraham Nyankopɔn, Isak Nyankopɔn ne Yakob Nyankopɔn din.
And that the dead shall rise againe, euen Moses shewed it besides the bush, when he said, The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob.
38 Eyi kyerɛ sɛ, Onyankopɔn yɛ ateasefo Nyankopɔn na ɔnyɛ awufo Nyankopɔn, efisɛ obiara a ɔde ne ho to Onyankopɔn so no, sɛ owu mpo a, obenya nkwa a enni awiei.”
For he is not the God of the dead, but of them which liue: for all liue vnto him.
39 Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no mu bi kae se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, woabua no yiye.”
Then certaine of the Scribes answered, and sayd, Master, thou hast well sayd.
40 Na obiara antumi ammisa no asɛm biara bio.
And after that, durst they not aske him any thing at all.
41 Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na wɔka se Kristo no yɛ Dawid ba?”
Then sayd he vnto them, Howe say they that Christ is Dauids sonne?
42 Efisɛ Dawid ka wɔ ne Nnwom no mu se, “Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me wura se: ‘Tena me nifa so
And Dauid himselfe sayth in the booke of the Psalmes, The Lord sayd vnto my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
43 kosi sɛ mɛma woadi wʼatamfo so nkonim.’
Till I shall make thine enemies thy footestoole.
44 Sɛ Dawid frɛ no ‘Awurade’ a, ɛyɛɛ dɛn na Kristo no yɛ ne ba?”
Seeing Dauid called him Lord, howe is he then his sonne?
45 Bere a nnipa no retie no no, Yesu dan nʼani ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se,
Then in the audience of all the people he sayd vnto his disciples,
46 “Monhwɛ mo ho so yiye wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no ho. Bere biara wɔpɛ sɛ wɔhyɛ ntade pa, hwehwɛ sɛ nnipa hu wɔn bagua mu a wɔde obu kyia wɔn, na sɛ wɔkɔ asɔredan mu nso a, wɔtena mpanyin tenabea. Saa ara nso na sɛ wɔkɔ aponto ase a, wɔtena mpanyin tenabea.
Beware of the Scribes, which willingly go in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets, and the highest seates in the assemblies, and the chiefe roomes at feastes:
47 Wɔbɔ mpae atenten ma nnipa hu sɛ wɔresom Onyankopɔn, nanso wosisi akunafo. Eyi nti wobenya asotwe a mu yɛ duru.”
Which deuoure widowes houses, and in shewe make long prayers: These shall receiue greater damnation.
