Luka 8
1 Eyi akyi no, Yesu ne nʼasuafo dumien no kyinkyinii Galilea nkurow ne nkuraa bi ase kaa Onyankopɔn ahenni no ho asɛm a,
And it came to pass afterward, that he journeyed through cities and villages, preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him,
2 na nnipa a wodi nʼakyi no bi ne Maria Magdalene a otuu ahonhommɔne ason fii ne mu no
and certain women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,
3 ne Yohana a ɔyɛ Kusa, Herode fi sohwɛfo panyin yere, ne Susana. Saa mmea yi ne afoforo bi na wofi wɔn ahonya mu hwɛɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafo.
and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who afforded them aid from their substance.
4 Da bi a nnipa bebree bi fi nkurow nkurow so baa ne nkyɛn no, ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn abebu mu se,
And a great multitude collecting together, and people from the cities going out to him, he spoke by a parable:
5 “Da bi, okuafo bi kɔɔ nʼafum koguu aba. Ogui no, aba no bi koguu ɔkwan mu maa nnipa tiatiaa so na nnomaa nso bɛsosɔwee.
A sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way-side; and they were trodden down, and the birds of the air devoured them.
6 Ebi nso koguu ɔbotan so, enti efifii no, ankyɛ na ne nyinaa hyewee, efisɛ annya nsu.
And others fell upon rocky ground; and when they had sprung up they withered away, because they had no moisture.
7 Aba no bi nso koguu nsɔe mu. Efifii no, nsɔe no kyekyeree no na ewui.
And others fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up with them, and choked them.
8 Ebi nso koguu asase pa mu, enyinii, sow aba mmɔho ɔha.” Na ɔkaa eyi no, ɔka kaa ho se, “Nea ɔwɔ aso a obetie no, ontie.”
And others fell upon good ground, and sprung up, and bore fruit, a hundred-fold. While saying these things, he cried aloud, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Na nʼasuafo no bisaa no saa bɛ no ase no,
And his disciples asked him what this parable meant.
10 obuaa wɔn se, “Mo de, wɔde Onyankopɔn Ahenni ho ahintasɛm ama mo, na afoforo de, wɔkasa kyerɛ wɔn mmebu mu, “‘sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛhwɛ, nanso wɔrenhu na wɔbɛte, nanso wɔrente ase.’
And he said, To you it hath been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God; but to others [[these things are spoken]] in parables; that while seeing they may not see, and while hearing they may not understand.
11 “Afei bɛ no nkyerɛase ni. Aba no ne Onyankopɔn asɛm.
Now the meaning of the parable is this. The seed is the word of God.
12 Aba a eguu ɔkwan mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm no na ɔbonsam behwim fi wɔn koma mu, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔrennye nni na wɔrennya nkwagye.
Those by the way-side are they that hear; then cometh the Devil and taketh away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Aba a eguu ɔbotan so no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte asɛm no na wɔde anigye so mu, nanso ɛntena wɔn mu. Na esiane wɔn gyidi a esua nti, ɛnkyɛ na asɛm no awu. Na sɛ sɔhwɛ ba wɔn so a, wɔpa abaw.
Those on the rocky ground are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root; and for a while they believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 Aba a eguu nsɔe mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm, na wodi so, nanso asetena mu haw ne abɛbrɛsɛ, ahonya ne wiase afɛfɛde nti, asɛm no ntumi nyɛ wɔn mu adwuma sɛnea ɛsɛ.
And those seeds which fell among the thorns, these are they who, when they have heard, go away and are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 Aba a eguu asase pa mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔde koma pa tie asɛmpa no, na wodi so, gyina pintinn de abrabɔ pa di ho adanse.
But the seeds on the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, when they have heard the word, hold it fast, and bear fruit with constancy.
16 “Obi nsɔ kanea na ɔmfa kɛntɛn mmutuw so, anaa ɔmfa nhyɛ mpa ase na mmom, ɔde si kaneadua so na ahyerɛn ama wɔn a wɔba mu no.
And no one having lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.
17 Nea ahintaw no bɛda adi, na nea ɛwɔ kokoa mu no nso ada gua.
For nothing is secret, that will not be made manifest; nor hidden, that will not be known, and come to light.
18 Enti nea mutie no, muntie no yiye. Obiara a ɔwɔ no wɔbɛma no pii aka ho, na nea onni ahe bi no, nea osusuw sɛ ɛyɛ ne de no mpo, wobegye afi ne nsam.”
Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whoever hath, to him will be given; and whoever hath not, from him will be taken even what he seemeth to have.
19 Da bi, Yesu na ne ne nuanom pɛɛ sɛ wɔne no kasa, nanso esiane nnipakuw a na wɔatwa ne ho ahyia no nti, wɔantumi ne no ankasa.
And his mother and his brothers came where he was, and could not get to him on account of the crowd.
20 Obi kɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu se ne na ne ne nuanom gyina nkyɛn hɔ baabi rehwehwɛ no.
And word was brought to him, Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Me na ne me nuanom ne wɔn a wotie Onyankopɔn asɛm na wodi so.”
And he answering said to them, My mother and my brothers are these, who hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Da bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafo te ɔkorow mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momma yentwa nkɔ asuogya nohɔ.” Wosii mu a wɔrekɔ no,
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a boat with his disciples, and said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the lake; and they put off.
23 Yesu dae. Saa bere no ara mu na ahum a ano yɛ den bi bɔ maa nsu bɛtaa ɔkorow no mu maa ɔkorow no yɛɛ sɛ ɛremem. Eyi maa asuafo no koma tuu yiye.
But as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And there came down a storm of wind on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 Asuafo no de hu ne nteɛteɛmu nyan no se, “Awurade, Awurade, yɛremem!” Amono mu hɔ ara, Yesu sɔre teɛteɛɛ ahum a ano yɛ den ne asorɔkye no ma ɛyɛɛ dinn.
And they came and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we are perishing! And he rose, and rebuked the wind, and the surging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 Afei obisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn na munni gyidi?” Wɔn nyinaa suroe, de ahodwiriw bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se. “Onipa bɛn ni a mframa a ano yɛ den ne asorɔkye mpo tie no yi?”
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And they were afraid, and wondered, saying one to another, Who then is this, that he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him?
26 Yesu ne nʼasuafo no twaa po no beduu Gerasefo asase a ɛne Galilea di nhwɛanim no so.
And they sailed to the country of the Gergesenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 Yesu fii ɔkorow no mu sii fam pɛ na ɔbarima bi a ahonhommɔne ahyɛ no ma akyɛ a ɔda adagyaw na ɔnte fie, na mmom ɔte amusiei a aboda mu na ɔdeda no behyiaa no.
And when he had landed, there met him a certain man out of the city who had demons, and for a long time had worn no clothes, and abode not in a house, but in the tombs.
28 Ohuu Yesu no, ɔteɛɛ mu, kotow nʼanan ase san teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Yesu, Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn Ba, dɛn na wo ne me wɔ yɛ? Mesrɛ wo, nyɛ me ayayade biara.”
And seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of the most high God? I beseech thee, do not torment me.
29 Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, efisɛ na Yesu ateɛteɛ ahonhommɔne no sɛ womfi ne mu. Saa ahonhommɔne yi taa ka no na sɛ wɔde hama kyekyere ne nsa ne nʼanan mpo a, otumi tetew mu ma ahonhommɔne no pam no kɔ wuram.
For he was about to command the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for it had possessed him for a long time, and he had been kept bound and secured with chains and fetters; and bursting the bands, he had been driven by the demon into the wilderness.
30 Yesu bisaa no se, “Wo din de dɛn?” Obuaa no se, “Dɔm.” Efisɛ na ahonhommɔne ahyɛ no ma.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion; because many demons had entered into him.
And they besought him not to command them to go away into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 Saa bere no na mprako bi redidi wɔ bepɔw no nkyɛn mu baabi. Ahohommɔne no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔmma wɔn ho kwan na wonkowura mprako no mu. Na ɔmaa wɔn ho kwan.
Now there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him to permit them to go into them. And he permitted them.
33 Enti ahonhommɔne no fii ɔbarima no mu kowuraa mprako no mu ma wɔbɔɔ kirididi, sian bepɔw no koguu ɔtare no mu wuwui.
And the demons coming out of the man went into the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep into the lake, and were drowned.
34 Wɔn a wɔhwɛ mprako no so no huu nea asi no, wɔde hu ne ahopopo tutuu mmirika kɔbɔɔ amanneɛ wɔ kurom maa asɛm no trɛw wɔ mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa.
And the herdsmen, seeing what was done, fled, and told the news in the city and in the country.
35 Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm no bɔɔ twi kɔhwɛɛ nea asi. Woduu nea Yesu wɔ no, wohuu ɔbarima no sɛ ne ho atɔ no a ofura ntama te Yesu nkyɛn. Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn.
And they went out to see what had been done. And they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting, clothed, and in his right mind, at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.
36 Na wɔn a wohuu ɔkwan a Yesu faa so saa ɔbarima no ɔyare no bɔɔ wɔn a wɔbaa hɔ no amanneɛ.
And they who had seen it told them how he that was possessed by demons was made well.
37 Ehu hyɛɛ Gerasefo a na wɔahyia wɔ hɔ no nyinaa ma, ma wɔsrɛɛ Yesu sɛ omfi wɔn nkyɛn hɔ nkɔ. Eyi nti, Yesu kɔtenaa ɔkorow no mu san twa kɔɔ asuogya nohɔ.
And the whole multitude in the surrounding country of the Gergesenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he went on board a boat and returned.
38 Ansa na Yesu rebefi hɔ no, ɔbarima a otuu ahonhommɔne fii ne mu no srɛɛ no sɛ ɔne no bɛkɔ. Nanso Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se,
And the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying,
39 “Kɔ na kodi nea Onyankopɔn ayɛ ama wo no ho adanse kyerɛ wo manfo.” Ɔbarima no fii hɔ kodii anwonwade a Yesu ayɛ ama no no ho adanse kyerɛɛ kurom hɔfo nyinaa.
Return to thy house, and tell what great things God hath done for thee. And he went and published through the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40 Yesu duu asuogya hɔ no, nnipakuw no de anigye hyiaa no kwan, efisɛ na wɔatwɛn no abrɛ.
And it came to pass when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed him; for they were all waiting for him.
41 Ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Yairo a na ɔyɛ Yudafo hyiadan mu panyin baa ne nkyɛn bebuu no nkotodwe, srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔne no nkɔ ne fi
And lo! there came a man, named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and falling at the feet of Jesus, he besought him to come into his house;
42 na ne babea koro a wadi bɛyɛ mfe dumien reyɛ awu. Bere a Yesu rekɔ no na nnipakuw no kyere ne so.
for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitudes thronged him.
43 Ɔbea bi a mogya atu no mfirihyia dumien a obiara ntumi nsa no yare no,
And a woman who had had an issue of blood twelve years, and had spent all her living upon physicians, and could not be cured by any one,
44 fii Yesu akyi soo nʼatade ano. Amono mu hɔ ara na mogya a etu no no twae.
came up behind and touched the fringe of his garment; and immediately her issue of blood ceased.
45 Yesu bisae se, “Hena na osoo mʼatade ano no no?” Obiara buae se ɛnyɛ ɔno. Eyi maa Petro kae se, “Awurade, na sɛ nnipa no akyere wo so.”
And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied it, Peter and those with him said, Master, the multitudes are thronging thee, and pressing against thee.
46 Yesu buaa no se, “Dabi, obi aso mʼatade mu efisɛ mete nka sɛ tumi bi afi me mu.”
But Jesus said, Some one touched me; for I perceived that power went out from me.
47 Ɔbea no huu sɛ ohintaw a ɛrenyɛ ye nti, ɔde hu ne ahopopo bebuu Yesu nkotodwe wɔ nnipa no nyinaa anim, kyerɛɛ no nea enti a osoo ne mu ne sɛnea ne ho atɔ no no.
And the woman, seeing that she was discovered, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was cured immediately.
48 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɔbabea, wo gyidi ama wo ho atɔ wo. Fa asomdwoe kɔ.”
And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee well; go in peace.
49 Yesu gu so rekasa no, obi fi Yairo fi bɛka kyerɛɛ Yairo se, “Wo babea no anya awu enti nhaw Kyerɛkyerɛfo no bio.”
While he was yet speaking, there cometh one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, saying, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher any further.
50 Yesu tee asɛm no osee Yairo se, “Nsuro, gye di, na wo babea no benyan anya nkwa.”
But Jesus hearing this, answered him, Fear not; only believe, and she will be made well.
51 Oduu fie hɔ no, wamma obiara anka ne ho ankɔ ɔdan a abofra no da mu no mu gye Petro, Yohane, Yakobo ne abofra no awofo nko ara.
And going into the house, he suffered no one to go in with him but Peter and John and James, and the father of the maiden, and the mother.
52 Na nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa resu di awerɛhow. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munnsu, onwui na wada.”
And all were weeping, and lamenting for her. But he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeping.
53 Wɔserew no dii ne ho fɛw, efisɛ na wɔn de, wonim pefee sɛ wawu.
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 Yesu soo ne nsa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Me ba, sɔre!”
But he took hold of her hand, and called aloud, saying, Maiden, arise!
55 Amono mu hɔ ara, ɔsɔree na Yesu kae se wɔmma no biribi nni.
And her spirit returned, and she immediately arose. And he ordered food to be given to her.
56 Nʼawofo no ho dwiriw wɔn yiye nanso Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano se, wɔnnka nea asi no nkyerɛ obiara.
And her parents were amazed. But he charged them to tell no one what had been done.
