Marko 2
1 Nna bi akyi no, Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum bio. Oduu hɔ no nnipa pii tee sɛ waba hɔ.
Some days later when Jesus entered Capernaum again the news spread, "He is in the house";
2 Ankyɛ na nnipa bebree bɛhyɛɛ ofi a na ɔwɔ mu no mu ma tɔ. Ɔkaa asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
and at once such a crowd gathered that there was no longer room for them, even around the door.
3 Mmarima baanan bi de obubuafo bi a wɔso no baa hɔ.
While he was speaking his message, they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four men.
4 Esiane sɛ na wontumi mfa nnipadɔm no mu nkɔ Yesu nkyɛn no nti, wɔforoo ɔdan a Yesu wɔ mu no, kotuu tokuru wɔ atifi. Wɔde obubuafo a ɔda ne kɛtɛ so no faa mu, gyaagyaa no brɛoo de no kɔtoo Yesu anim.
When they could not get him near to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof under which he stood, and after making an opening, they let down the cot on which the paralytic was lying.
5 Yesu huu wɔn gyidi a wɔwɔ wɔ ne mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔyarefo no se, “Ɔba, wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo!”
Then Jesus, when he perceived their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son your sins are forgiven."
6 Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo a wɔwɔ hɔ no tee nea Yesu kae no, wɔdwenee wɔ wɔn tirim
But there were some Scribes sitting there who reasoned in their hearts.
7 se, “Asɛm bɛn na ɔreka yi! Abususɛm na ɔreka yi! Osusuw sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn? Onyankopɔn nko na otumi de bɔne kyɛ.”
"Why does this man speak like this? He blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins but One, God himself?"
8 Mpofirim na Yesu huu wɔn adwene ma obisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn na moma asɛm a mekae yi haw mo?
Jesus clearly perceived at once be the Spirit that they were thus reasoning in their hearts and said to them.
9 Nea ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ mmerɛw: sɛ wɔbɛka akyerɛ obubuafo yi se, ‘Wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo,’ anaa wɔbɛka se, ‘Sɔre, fa wo kɛtɛ na nantew?’
"Why do you reason thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your cot and walk’?
10 Nanso sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na mubehu sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi wɔ asase so sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ,” Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafo no se,
But to let you see that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -he said to the paralytic-
11 “Mise wo sɛ, sɔre gyina hɔ, fa wo kɛtɛ, na kɔ fie.”
"I bid you rise, take up your cot, and go home."
12 Obubuafo yi sɔre bobɔw ne kɛtɛ, na ɔde anigye ne ahosɛpɛw faa nnipadɔm no mu kɔe. Nnipa no ho dwiriw wɔn ma wɔkamfoo Onyankopɔn se, “Yenhuu eyi bi da!”
The man rose, at once took up his cot, and went out before them all; at which they were all astounded, and gave God glory, saying, "We never saw anything like this."
13 Yesu san kɔɔ mpoano hɔ bio, na ɔkaa asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ nnipakuw a wɔahyia wɔ hɔ no.
Then Jesus went again to the seaside, and the whole crowd kept coming to him, and he taught them.
14 Bere a ɔnam mpoano hɔ no, ohuu Alfeo ba Lewi sɛ ɔte atowgyei. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Di mʼakyi.” Na Lewi sɔre dii nʼakyi.
As he was passing by he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting in the tax-office; and he said to him, "Follow me." So he rose and followed him.
15 Saa anadwofa no, Lewi too pon, too nsa frɛɛ ne mfɛfo towgyefo ne nnebɔneyɛfo bi sɛ wɔmmra na ɔne wɔn ne Yesu ne nʼasuafo no nto nsa nnidi. Nnipa a wodii Yesu akyi no bi te sɛ Lewi ara pɛ.
Later on Levi was sitting at table in his house, and together with Jesus and his disciples a number of tax-gatherers and sinners were guests, for there were many of them who used to follow him.
16 Farisifo no huu sɛ ɔne nnebɔneyɛfo ne towgyefo ato nsa redidi no, wobisaa nʼasuafo no se, “Adɛn nti na ɔne towgyefo ne nnebɔneyɛfo to nsa didi?”
But when some scribes of the Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax-gatherers, they said to his disciples, "Is he eating and drinking with tax-gatherers and sinners?"
17 Yesu tee nea wɔkae no, obuaa wɔn se, “Wɔn a wɔwɔ ahoɔden no, ɔyaresafo ho nhia wɔn, na wɔn a wɔyare no na ɔyaresafo ho hia wɔn. Mamma sɛ merebɛka akyerɛ atreneefo sɛ wɔnsakra wɔn adwene na mmom, nnebɔneyɛfo.”
On hearing this Jesus said to them. "It is not the healthy who need a physician, but the sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
18 Da bi a Osuboni Yohane akyidifo ne Farisifo no redi mmuada no, nnipa bi kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na Yohane ne Farisifo no akyidifo di mmuada na wʼakyidifo de, wonni mmuada?”
Now the disciples of Johnand the Pharisees were keeping a fast, and people came to ask him, "How is it that the disciples of Johnand the Pharisees are fasting, but your disciples are not?"
19 Yesu nso bisaa wɔn se, “Moahu ayeforokunu nnamfo a wɔbɛba ayeforo ase a wɔbɛka se, wɔredi mmuada nti wɔrennidi ana? Mmere dodow a wɔne ayeforokunu no nam no de, wɔrenni mmuada da.
"Can friends of the bridegroom fast while he is still with them?" asked Jesus. "As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 Na da bi bɛba a, wɔbɛfa ayeforokunu no afi wɔn nkyɛn. Saa bere no na wobedi mmuada.
But the days will come when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them; then, on that day, they will fast.
21 “Ɛte sɛ wode ntama foforo atare ntama dedaw mu. Dɛn na ɛba? Ntaremu no bɛtew ntama dedaw no mu, na ayi afi mu, na ama tokuru a ɛda hɔ no aso asen kan de no.
No one ever sews a piece of unshrunk cloth onto an old garment, otherwise the patch tears away from it - the new from the old - and a worse tear is made.
22 Munim sɛ wɔmfa nsa foforo ngu aboa nhoma nkotoku dedaw mu. Anyɛ saa a, ɛbɛpae. Nsa no behwie agu, na nkotoku a nsa no wɔ mu no nso bɛpaapae. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsa foforo gu nkotoku foforo mu.”
And no one ever pours new wine into old wine-skins, else the wine would burst the skins, and both wine and skins would be lost. New wine is poured into fresh wine-skins.
23 Homeda bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafo nam aburowfuw bi mu no, asuafo no pempan aburow no bi wee.
One Sabbath he was walking along through the wheat-fields, and his disciples, as they began to make their way across, were pulling the heads of wheat.
24 Farisifo no bi ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Hwɛ, adɛn na wɔreyɛ nea etia mmara Homeda?”
"Look," said the Pharisees to him, "Why are they doing on the Sabbath Day what is against the law?"
25 Yesu nso bisaa wɔn se, “Monnkenkan nea Ɔhene Dawid yɛe, bere a ɔkɔm dee ɔne wɔn a na wɔka ne ho no,
He answered them. "Have you never read what David did when he was needy and hungry, he and his men?
26 ne sɛnea ɔkɔɔ Onyankopɔn fi wɔ Ɔsɔfopanyin Abiatar bere so, na ɔne wɔn a wɔka ne ho kodii brodo a wɔde abɔ afɔre ama Onyankopɔn no, a obiara nni ho kwan sɛ odi, gye asɔfo nko ara no pɛ? Na ɛno nso tia mmara.
How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which none but priests may eat, and gave some to his men?
27 “Onipa nti na wɔyɛɛ Homeda, na ɛnyɛ Homeda nti na wɔbɔɔ onipa.
"The Sabbath," he told them, "was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath;
28 Enti Onipa Ba no yɛ Homeda so wura mpo!”
so the Son of man is Master even of the Sabbath."
