Marko 3
1 Yesu baa Kapernaum no, ɔkɔɔ hyiadan mu bio. Oduu hɔ no, ohuu ɔbarima bi a ne nsa baako awu.
Again Jesus walked into the synagogue and there was a man with a withered hand.
2 Na saa da no yɛ Homeda enti na Yesu atamfo no retetɛw no ahwɛ sɛ ɔbɛsa ɔbarima no yare ana. Na wɔabɔ wɔn tirim sɛ, sɛ ɔsa no yare a wɔbɛkyere no!
Some people watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath so that they could accuse him.
3 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ɔbarima no se ommegyina nnipa no anim.
Jesus said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand here in the middle of everyone.”
4 Ɔdan ne ho kyerɛɛ nʼatamfo no bisaa wɔn se, “Eye sɛ obi yɛ papa Homeda? Anaasɛ ɛyɛ da a wɔde yɛ bɔne? Ɛyɛ da a wɔde gye nkwa anaa wɔma obi nkwa hwere no” Nanso wɔammua no.
Then he said to the people, “Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath day or to do harm; to save a life or to kill?” But they were silent.
5 Ɔde abufuw hwɛɛ wɔn hyiae. Ɛhaw no sɛ wonni ahummɔbɔ mma nnipa enti ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔbarima no se, “Teɛ wo nsa no mu.” Ɔteɛɛ mu na amono mu hɔ ara, ne nsa no yɛɛ yiye.
He looked around at them with anger, and he was grieved by their hardness of heart, and he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored.
6 Farisifo no kohyiaa Herodefo no ne wɔn susuw ɔkwan a wɔbɛfa so akum Yesu no ho.
The Pharisees went out and immediately began to plot with the Herodians as to how they might put him to death.
7 Yesu ne nʼasuafo no fii hɔ kɔɔ mpoano. Nnipadɔm fifi Galilea, Yudea, Yerusalem,
Then Jesus, with his disciples, went to the sea, and a great crowd of people followed from Galilee and from Judea
8 Idumea, Asubɔnten Yordan agya, Tiro ne Sidon fam nyinaa, tu dii Yesu akyi. Efisɛ na nʼanwonwade a ɔyɛ no atrɛw mmaa nyinaa enti na ebinom pɛ sɛ wɔbɛhwɛ no.
and from Jerusalem and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon. When they heard about the things he was doing, a great crowd came to him.
9 Ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, wɔmpɛ ɔkorow bi nsi nkyɛn baabi, na sɛ nnipadɔm no kyere ne so wɔ mpoano hɔ a, watena mu akɔ.
He asked his disciples to have a small boat ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him.
10 Da no, na wasa nyarewa bebree a ne saa nti na ayarefo no ba ara na wɔreba a wɔpɛe sɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ka nʼatade.
For he healed many, so that everyone who had afflictions eagerly approached him in order to touch him.
11 Bere biara a wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonhommɔne no bi behu no no, wotwa hwe fam, wosow biribiri, ka se, “Woyɛ Onyankopɔn Ba.”
Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, and they said, “You are the Son of God.”
12 Nanso ɔbɔɔ wɔn ano se, wɔnkyerɛ onipa ko a ɔyɛ.
He strictly ordered them not to make him known.
13 Yeau kɔɔ bepɔw so na ɔfrɛɛ wɔn a wayi wɔn no baa ne nkyɛn.
He went up on the mountain, and he called for those he wanted, and they came to him.
14 Oyii wɔn mu dumien a daa wɔne no bɛnantew, na wɔakɔka asɛmpa no,
He appointed the twelve (whom he named apostles) so that they might be with him and he might send them to proclaim the message,
15 na wɔatu ahonhommɔne nso.
and to have authority to cast out demons.
16 Dumien a oyii wɔn no din ni: Simon, a ɔtoo no din foforo Petro.
Then he appointed the twelve: Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter;
17 Sebedeo mma Yakobo ne Yohane, a ɔtoo wɔn din Boanerges, a ase ne “aprannaa mma”.
James son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder;
18 Wɔn a wɔka ho nso ni: Andrea, Filipo, Bartolomeo, Mateo, Toma, Alfeo ba Yakobo, Tadeo ne Simon ɔmanyɛfo,
and Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,
19 na Yuda Iskariot a oyii no mae no.
and Judas Iscariot, who would betray him.
20 Ɔsan baa ofi a ɔte mu no mu no, nnipakuw bi san baa ne so bio. Ankyɛ koraa na hɔ nyinaa yɛɛ ma a onnya kwan koraa nnidi.
Then he went home, and the crowd came together again, so that they could not even eat bread.
21 Ne fifo tee asɛm a aba no, wɔkɔɔ hɔ sɛ wɔrekɔfa no akɔ wɔn fi efisɛ wɔkae se, “Ne ti mu ka no.”
When his family heard about it, they went out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”
22 Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo a wofi Yerusalem bae no kae se, “Beelsebul a ɔyɛ ahonhommɔne panyin no afa no, na ɔnam saa tumi no so na otu ahonhommɔne no.”
The scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul” and “By the ruler of the demons he drives out demons.”
23 Yesu frɛɛ wɔn kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn abebu mu se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na Satan betumi atu Satan?
Jesus called them to him and said to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 Ahenni biara a ɛne ne ho di asi no begu.
If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 Saa ara na ofi biara a ɛne ne ho di asi no nnyina ara ne no.
If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
26 Na sɛ Satan twa ne ho ne ne ho di asi a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na watumi adi nkonim? Obedi nkogu.
If Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he is not able to stand, but has come to an end.
27 Obiara ntumi nkɔ ɔhoɔdenfo fi nkɔfa ne nneɛma kwa, agye sɛ, onii no di kan kyekyere ɔhoɔdenfo no, ansa na watumi afa ne nneɛma.
But no one can enter into the house of a strong man and steal his belongings without tying up the strong man first, and then he will plunder his house.
28 Mereka akyerɛ mo se, bɔne a onipa ayɛ biara no, wotumi de kyɛ no, na mpo obi ka abususɛm tia me a, wotumi de kyɛ no;
Truly I say to you, all sins of the sons of men will be forgiven, even all the blasphemies which they utter,
30 Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi efisɛ na wɔka se, “Ɔwɔ honhommɔne.”
Jesus said this because they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
31 Ogu so rekyerɛkyerɛ no, ne na ne ne nuanom begyinaa nnipadɔm no mu baabi somaa obi se, ɔnkɔfrɛ no mmra, na wɔne no nkasa.
Then his mother and his brothers came and stood outside. They sent for him, summoning him.
32 Saa bere no na nnipadɔm no atwa ne ho ahyia. Nnipa no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Wo na ne wo nuanom gyina afikyiri hɔ pɛ sɛ wɔne wo kasa.”
A crowd was sitting around him and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers are outside, and they are looking for you.”
33 Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Hena ne me na? Hefo ne me nuanom?”
He answered them, “Who are my mother and my brothers?”
34 Ɔhwɛɛ nnipadɔm no hyia kae se, “Eyinom ne me na ne me nuanom!
He looked around at those who were sitting in a circle around him and said, “See, here are my mother and my brothers!
35 Obiara a ɔbɛyɛ Onyankopɔn apɛde no, ɔno ne me nuabarima ne me nuabea ne me na.”
For whoever does the will of God, that person is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
