Marko 8
1 Saa mmere no mu na nnipakuw foforo bi baa Yesu nkyɛn. Esiane sɛ na hwee nni hɔ a wobedi nti,
In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and saith unto them,
2 Yesu frɛɛ nʼasuafo no baa ne nkyɛn, na ɔkae se, “Nnipa yi yɛ me mmɔbɔ. Wɔabedi nnansa wɔ ha a, wonni aduan biara a wobedi bio.
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 Sɛ migya wɔn kwan sɛ wɔnkɔ a wonnidii a, anhwɛ a na wɔn mu bi atotɔ piti wɔ ɔkwan so, efisɛ wɔn mu bi fi akyirikyiri na wɔbae.”
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4 Nʼasuafo no bisaa no se, “Ɛhefa na yebenya aduan ama saa nnipa dodow yi wɔ sare yi so ha?”
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?
5 Obisaa wɔn se, “Brodo dodow ahe na mowɔ?” Wobuaa no se, “Yɛwɔ ason.”
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nnipakuw no se wɔntenatena ase wɔ sare no so. Afei ɔfaa brodo ason no, na ohyiraa so, bubuu mu de maa nʼasuafo no ma wɔkyɛ maa nnipa no.
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before [them]; and they did set [them] before the people.
7 Na wɔwɔ mpataa kakra wɔ hɔ, nti Yesu hyiraa ɛno nso so de maa asuafo no sɛ wɔnkyɛ ɛno nso mma wɔn.
And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them].
8 Nnipakuw no didi mee no, ogyaa wɔn kwan.
So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets.
9 Nnipa a wodii aduan no dodow bɛyɛ mpem anan. Na wɔtasee ase nnikae no, ɛyɛɛ kɛntɛn ason.
And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 Eyi akyi no ɔne nʼasuafo no kɔtenaa ɔkorow mu baa Dalmanuta fam.
And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 Farisifo no tee sɛ Yesu aba hɔ no, wɔbaa ne nkyɛn bebisabisaa no nsɛm, de sɔɔ no hwɛe. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne bi kyerɛ yɛn. Ma nsɛnkyerɛnne bi nna adi wɔ wim nkyerɛ yɛn. Ɛno ansa na yebegye wo adi.”
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 Yesu tee nea wɔkae no, oguu ahome ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Dɛn nti na mohwehwɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne daa yi? Nsɛnkyerɛnne biara nni hɔ a mɛyɛ akyerɛ mo.”
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
13 Ɔsan kɔtenaa ɔkorow no mu gyaw wɔn, twa kɔɔ asuogya nohɔ.
And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14 Asuafo no werɛ fii sɛ wɔfa aduan bi kura ansa na wɔkɔ, gye brodo baako pɛ na na wokura wɔ ɔkorow no mu.
Now [the disciples] had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
15 Wɔretwa asu no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monhwɛ mo ho so yiye wɔ Ɔhene Herode ne Farisifo mmɔkaw ho.”
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.
16 Asuafo no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Asɛm a ɔreka yi ase ne dɛn?” Nea wɔn adwene kyerɛɛ wɔn ne sɛ, ebia ɔreka aduan a wɔn werɛ fii sɛ wɔbɛfa akita no ho asɛm.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have no bread.
17 Yesu huu nea wodwinnwen no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛnyɛ ɛno ho asɛm na mereka! Monnte eyi ase ana? Mo koma da so pirim?
And when Jesus knew [it], he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Mowɔ ani nso munhu ade? Mowɔ aso nso momfa nte asɛm? Na monnkae biribi ana?
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 Bere a mibubuu brodo anum mu maa nnipa mpem anum no, nnikae kɛntɛn ahe na motasee?” Wɔkae se, “Dumien.”
When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
20 “Na mesan de brodo ason maa nnipa mpem anan no nso, ahe na ɛkae?” Wɔkae se, “Nkɛntɛn ason.”
And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 Obisaa wɔn bio se, “Monnte ase ara ana?”
And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 Bere a woduu Betsaida no, nnipa bi de onifuraefo bi brɛɛ no, srɛɛ no sɛ ɔmfa ne nsa nka no, na ɔnsa no yare.
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
23 Yesu soo onifuraefo yi nsa de no kɔɔ akuraa no kurotia. Ɔtee ntasu guu onifuraefo no ani so, na ɔde ne nsa guu no so. Yesu bisaa no se, “Wuhu ade ana?”
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 Onifuraefo no maa nʼani so hwɛɛ soro, buae se, “Yiw, mihu nnipa! Nanso mihu wɔn sɛ nnua bi na wɔnenam hɔ.”
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25 Afei Yesu de ne nsa kataa nʼani no so bio. Onifuraefo no buee nʼani, na bere a ɔrehwɛ ade haa no, nʼani no yɛɛ yiye a afei de na ohu biribiara kann.
After that he put [his] hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 Yesu ma ɔkɔɔ fie, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nnsan nnkɔ akuraa no ase bio.”
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell [it] to any in the town.
27 Yesu ne nʼasuafo no fii Galilea kɔɔ Kaesarea ne Filipi nkuraa ase. Wɔnam ɔkwan so rekɔ no, obisaa wɔn se, “Nnipa ka se mene hena?”
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cæsarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
28 Asuafo no buae se, “Ebinom se wone Osuboni Yohane no, na afoforo nso se woyɛ Elia anaasɛ tete adiyifo no mu bi a wasan aba.”
And they answered, John the Baptist: but some [say], Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
29 Na obisaa wɔn se, “Na mo nso mose meyɛ hena?” Petro buaa no se, “Wone Kristo no.”
And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
30 Ɔbɔɔ wɔn kɔkɔ se, wɔnnka nkyerɛ obiara.
And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
31 Afei ofii ase kaa Onipa Ba no amane a obehu ne mpanyimfo, asɔfo mpanyin ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no po a wɔbɛpo no, na wɔakum no, na nnansa so wasɔre no ho asɛm kyerɛɛ wɔn.
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and [of] the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 Ɔkaa asɛm no pefee a wamfa biribiara anhintaw wɔn. Petro twee no gyinaa nkyɛn bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na woka asɛm a ɛte sɛɛ yi?”
And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 Yesu dan ne ho hwɛɛ nʼasuafo no kaa Petro anim se, “Fi me so, Ɔbonsam! Wʼadwene yɛ nea efi onipa na ɛnyɛ nea efi Onyankopɔn.”
But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
34 Afei ɔfrɛɛ nʼasuafo no ne nnipakuw no baa ne nkyɛn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se: “Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ odi mʼakyi a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔpa ne ho akyi, na ɔsoa nʼasennua, na odi mʼakyi.
And when he had called the people [unto him] with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Nea ɔma ne kra som no bo no, ebefi ne nsa. Na nea me ne asɛmpa no nti, ɔbɛhwere ne kra no, wobegye no nkwa.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.
36 Na sɛ onipa nya wiase nyinaa na ɔhwere ne kra a mfaso bɛn na obenya?
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Dɛn na ɛsom bo sen ne kra?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Na obiara a saa nnabɔne yi mu nʼani wu me ne me nsɛm ho no, ne ho bɛyɛ me, Onipa Ba no aniwu, bere a me ne mʼabɔfo kronkron no bɛsan aba wɔ mʼAgya anuonyam mu no.”
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
