Marko 10
1 Afei Yesu fii Galilea twa baa Yudea fam nohɔ wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan agya. Nnipakuw baa ne nkyɛn, na sɛnea ɔtaa yɛ no ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn.
And He arose from thence and came into the coasts of Judea, through the country beyond Jordan: and the people resorted to Him again; and, as He was wont, He taught them again.
2 Farisifo bi baa ne nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Wopene awaregyae so ana?” Wobisaa no eyi de sɔɔ no hwɛe.
And the pharisees came to Him and asked Him, "if it were lawful for a man to put away his wife," tempting Him.
3 Yesu nso bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na Mose ka faa awaregyae ho?”
And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
4 Wobuae se, “Mose kaa se eye sɛ wogyae aware. Nʼasɛm a ɔkae ne sɛ, sɛ ɔbarima bi pɛ sɛ ogyaa ne yere aware a ɔnkyerɛw awaregyae krataa mfa mma ne yere no.”
And they said, Moses permitted a man to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away.
5 Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na ɔkaa saa? Merebɛkyerɛ mo nea enti a ɔkaa saa. Esiane mo koma a apirim no nti na ɔkaa saa kyerɛɛ mo.
And Jesus replied, He wrote this precept on account of your cruel tempers:
6 Nanso eyi mfi Onyankopɔn. Efi adebɔ mfiase na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔbarima ne ɔbea kaa wɔn bɔɔ mu.
but from the beginning of the world, God created them male and female.
7 Eyi nti na ɔbarima begyaw nʼagya ne ne na,
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
8 na ɔde ne ho akɔbɔ ne yere ho, na wɔn baanu no ayɛ ɔhonam koro.
and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh: so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Na nea Onyankopɔn aka abɔ mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ onipa tetew mu.”
Therefore let not man separate what God hath joined together.
10 Akyiri a na ɔne nʼasuafo no wɔ fie no, asuafo no bisaa no saa asɛm koro no ara bio.
And when they were in the house his disciples asked Him again about it:
11 Obuaa wɔn se, “Sɛ obi gyaa ne yere aware na ɔsan ware obi foforo a na wabɔ aguaman.
and He told them, Whoever putteth away his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery against her.
12 Na sɛ ɔyere gyaa ne kunu aware na ɔsan ware a, na ɔno nso abɔ aguaman saa ara.”
And if a woman be divorced from her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13 Na awofo bi de mmofra nkumaa brɛɛ Yesu se onhyira wɔn, nanso nʼasuafo no pampam wɔn a wɔde mmofra no bae no, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, wɔnnhaw no.
And they brought to Him little children that He might touch them: and the disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14 Yesu huu nea nʼasuafo no ayɛ no, anyɛ no dɛ na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momma mmofra no kwan na wɔmmra me nkyɛn, na munnsiw wɔn kwan, na eyinom sɛɛ na Onyankopɔn ahenni no yɛ wɔn dea.
Which Jesus observing, was much displeased, and said to them, Let the children come to me; and hinder them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Mereka akyerɛ mo se, obiara a ɔrennye Onyankopɔn ahenni no sɛ abofra no, ɔrentumi nhyɛn mu.”
Verily I tell you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall by no means enter into it.
16 Na ɔyɛɛ wɔn atuu, de ne nsa guu wɔn so hyiraa wɔn.
And He took them in his arms, and put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
17 Na osii mu sɛ ɔrekɔ baabi foforo no, ɔbarima bi tutuu mmirika baa ne nkyɛn bebuu no nkotodwe bisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo pa, dɛn na menyɛ na manya nkwa a enni awiei?” (aiōnios g166)
And as he went out into the way, there came one running and kneeling to Him, and asked Him, Good master, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 Yesu bisaa no se “Adɛn na wofrɛ me papa? Obiara nyɛ papa gye ɔbaako; ɔne Onyankopɔn.
And Jesus said unto him, Why dost thou call me good? there is none good, but one, that is God.
19 Ɛfa wʼasɛmmisa no ho nso, wunim mmaransɛm no: ‘Mmɔ aguaman! Nni awu! Mmɔ korɔn! Nni adansekurum! Di wʼagya ne wo na ni!’”
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and thy mother.
20 Aberante no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, eyinom nyinaa mifi me mmofraase na midii so.”
And he answered and said unto Him, Master, all these have I kept from my youth.
21 Yesu hwɛɛ aberante yi dinn, nyaa ɔdɔ bi maa no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Aka wo ade baako. Kɔ na kɔtɔn biribiara a wowɔ, na fa sika no ma ahiafo, na wubenya agyapade wɔ ɔsoro, na bra bedi mʼakyi.”
Then Jesus looked upon him with affection, and said to him, One thing thou wantest; go, sell all that thou hast, and give it to the poor; and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross and follow me.
22 Aberante no tee saa asɛm no nʼanim sesae, na ɔde awerɛhow kɔe, efisɛ na ɔwɔ ahonyade bebree.
But he was sad at that saying, and went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
23 Ɔrekɔ no, Yesu hwɛɛ no na ɔdan ne ho ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Ɛyɛ den ma ɔdefo sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu!”
And Jesus looking round about saith to his disciples, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24 Asɛm a Yesu kaa no maa asuafo no ho dwiriw wɔn. Yesu san kaa bio se, “Me mma, sɛ moahu den a ɛyɛ ma wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonyade sɛ wɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu?
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus repeating it, saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them, that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Na ɛyɛ mmerɛw sɛ yoma bɛfa pane aniwa mu sen sɛ ɔdefo bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu.”
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Asuafo no ho dwiriw wɔn mmoroso na wobisaa no se, “Ɛno de, na hena na wobegye no nkwa?”
And they were exceedingly amazed, saying one to another, Who then can be saved?
27 Yesu hwɛɛ wɔn dinn kae se, “Onipa fam de, ɛyɛ den, na Onyankopɔn fam de, biribiara betumi aba mu.”
But Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.
28 Afei Petro fii ase kenkan nneɛma a ɔne asuafo no agyaw abedi Yesu akyi. Ɔkae se, “Yagyaw biribiara abedi wʼakyi.”
Then Peter said to Him, Behold we have left all, and followed thee.
29 Yesu nso buaa no se, “Merema mo ate ase sɛ, obi nni hɔ a me nti wagyaw ofi, nuabarimanom, nuabeanom, ɛna, agya ne mma anaasɛ agyapade a ɔbɛkɔ akɔka Asɛmpa no,
And Jesus answered and said, Verily I tell you, there is no one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,
31 Na adikanfo pii bedi akyi, na akyikafo abedi kan.”
But many that are first shall be last, and the last first.
32 Afei wosii mu sɛ wɔrekɔ Yerusalem a na Yesu di wɔn kan; na bere a asuafo no di nʼakyi no, ehu ne osuro kaa wɔn. Yesu twee wɔn gyinaa nkyɛn, na ɔsan kaa nneɛma a sɛ wodu Yerusalem a ɛbɛba ne so no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed at it, and afraid to follow Him. And again taking the twelve aside, He began to tell them what things should befal Him,
33 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛ yedu hɔ a wobeyi me, Onipa Ba no ama asɔfo mpanyin ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo, na wɔabu me kumfɔ, na wɔde me ahyɛ Roma aban nsa, na wɔakum me.
saying, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, and deliver Him to the Gentiles;
34 Wobedi me ho fɛw, na wɔatete ntasu agu me so, na wɔde mpire atwa me mmaa, na wɔakum me, na nnansa so no, masɔre bio.”
and they will insult Him, and scourge Him, and spit upon Him, and put Him to death: but on the third day He shall rise again.
35 Afei Sebedeo mma Yakobo ne Yohane baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yɛpɛ sɛ woyɛ yɛn adɔe bi.”
Then come to Him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, Master, we desire that thou wouldest do for us what we shall request:
36 Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na mopɛ sɛ meyɛ ma mo?”
and He said to them, What do ye desire me to do for you?
37 Wobuae se, “Ma yɛn mu baako ntena wo nifa so, na ɔbaako nso ntena wo benkum so wɔ wʼahenni mu hɔ!”
they said unto Him, Grant that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy glory.
38 Yesu maa wɔn mmuae se, “Munnim nea mubisa no! Mubetumi anom awerɛhow kuruwa nwenweenwen a ɛsɛ sɛ menom ano no ana? Anaasɛ mubetumi ama wɔde amanehunu asubɔ no abɔ mo asu?”
But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink of the cup, that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39 Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yebetumi!” Na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mubetumi anom me kuruwa ano, na wɔde asubɔ a wɔde bɔ me no abɔ mo;
And they said, We can. And Jesus said unto them, The cup indeed which I drink, ye shall drink of; and with the baptism, that I am baptized with, shall ye be baptized:
40 nanso minni tumi sɛ miyi wɔn a wɔbɛtena me nifa anaa me benkum so no. Onyankopɔn nko ara na ɔde saa afa no bɛma wɔn a wɔasiesie hɔ ama wɔn no.”
but to sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, but for whom it is prepared.
41 Asuafo a wɔaka no tee nea Yakobo ne Yohane kobisaa no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ.
And when the other ten heard it, they were provoked at James and John.
42 Enti Yesu frɛɛ wɔn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munim sɛ ahene ne atumfo a wɔwɔ wiase no di wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn ase no so,
But Jesus called them to Him, and said unto them, Ye know that those who rule among the Gentiles, lord it over them, and their grandees exercise authority upon them.
43 nanso mo de, ɛnte saa wɔ mo ho. Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkɛse wɔ mo mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ mo somfo.
But it shall not be so among you: but whoever would be great among you shall be your minister;
44 Na obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ne nuanom so panyin no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ wɔn nyinaa akoa.
and whoever of you would be first shall be servant of all.
45 Onipa Ba no amma sɛ wɔnsom no, na mmom ɔbɛsomee, na ɔde ne kra too hɔ sɛ mpata maa nnipa nyinaa.”
For the Son of man came not to be ministred unto, but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many.
46 Yesu ne nʼasuafo no beduu Yeriko. Wɔrefi kurow no mu no, nnipakuw tu dii wɔn akyi. Saa bere a Yesu retwa mu no, na onifuraefo Bartimeo a ne din nkyerɛase ne “Timoteo ba” no te kwankyɛn resrɛsrɛ ade.
And they came to Jericho: and as He was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat by the way-side begging.
47 Bere a Bartimeo tee sɛ Yesu Nasareni na ɔretwam no, ofii ase teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Dawid Ba Yesu, hu me mmɔbɔ!”
And hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
48 Nnipa no bi teɛteɛɛ no se, “Mua wʼano!” Nanso ɔkɔɔ so teɛteɛɛ mu dennen se, “Dawid ba, hu me mmɔbɔ!”
And many rebuked him, that he might hold his peace: but he cried out so much the more, Thou son of David, have pity on me.
49 Bere a Yesu tee ne nne no, ogyina kae se, “Momfrɛ no mma me.” Wɔfrɛɛ onifuraefo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ma wo bo ntɔ wo yam, sɔre na ɔrefrɛ wo!”
And Jesus stopt, and ordered him to be called: so they called the blind man, and said to him, Be of good courage, rise up, He calleth thee.
50 Bartimeo tow ne ntama gui, sɔre baa Yesu nkyɛn.
And he threw off his outer garment, and arose, and came to Jesus.
51 Yesu bisaa no se, “Dɛn na wopɛ sɛ meyɛ ma wo?” Onifuraefo no buae se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, mepɛ sɛ mihu ade!”
And Jesus said to him, What dost thou desire that I should do for thee? And the blind man said to Him, Lord, that I may recover my sight.
52 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ, na wo gyidi agye wo.” Na ntɛm ara onifuraefo no huu ade, na odii Yesu akyi.
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way, thy faith has cured thee. And he immediately recovered his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
