Marko 9
1 Yesu kɔɔ so ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Mo a mugyina ha yi mu bi bɛtena ase akosi sɛ mubehu sɛ, Onyankopɔn ahenni no reba tumi mu!”
And he was saying to them: Verily, say unto you—There, are, certain of those here standing, who shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God, already come in power.
2 Nnansia akyi na Yesu faa Petro, Yakobo ne Yohane de wɔn kɔɔ bepɔw tenten bi atifi. Saa bere no na obiara nka wɔn ho. Ɛhɔ ara na Yesu anuonyam hyerɛn wɔ wɔn anim.
And, after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain, apart, alone, —and he was transformed before them;
3 Nʼatade hyerɛn yɛɛ fitafita sen sɛnea obi betumi ahoro saa atade no ama ayɛ.
and his garments became brilliant, exceeding white, such as, no fuller on the earth, is able, so, to whiten.
4 Afei Elia ne Mose befii hɔ. Na wɔne Yesu kasae!
And there appeared unto them Elijah, with Moses, —and they were conversing with Jesus.
5 Petro ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, eye sɛ yɛwɔ ha. Yɛbɛbɔ asese abiɛsa wɔ ha, wo de baako, Mose de baako na Elia de baako.”
And Peter, answering, saith unto Jesus—Rabbi! it is, delightful, for us to be, here, —let us therefore make three tents, for thee, one, and, for Moses, one, and, for Elijah, one;
6 Esiane sɛ na wɔabɔ hu no nti na ɛma ɔkaa saa.
for he knew not what he should answer, for, greatly affrighted, had they become.
7 Na omununkum bɛkataa wɔn so. Nne bi fi omununkum no mu kae se, “Oyi ne me Dɔba. Muntie no.”
And there came a cloud, overshadowing them, and there came a voice, out of the cloud, —This is, my Son, the Beloved, Be hearkening unto him.
8 Mpofirim a wɔhwɛɛ wɔn ho no, wɔanhu obiara ka Yesu ho.
And, suddenly looking round, no longer, saw they, anyone, with them, save, Jesus only.
9 Wɔresian afi bepɔw no so no, Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano se wɔnnka nea wɔahu no nkyerɛ obiara kosi sɛ ɔbɛsɔre afi awufo mu.
And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, he charged them, that, unto no one, they should narrate what they had seen, save whenever the Son of Man, from among the dead should arise.
10 Asuafo no anka ankyerɛ obiara na mmom, ɛyɛ a na wɔtaa bisabisa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, nʼasɛm a ɔkae se, “Menyan afi awufo mu” no, na ɔkyerɛ dɛn?
And, the word, they held fast unto themselves, discussing what was, the rising from among the dead.
11 Na nʼasuafo no bisaa no nea enti a mmara no akyerɛkyerɛfo no ka se, ɛsɛ sɛ Elia san ba kan.
And they began to question him, saying—The Scribes, say, that, Elijah, must needs come, first?
12 Yesu gye too mu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Elia di kan ba bɛtoto nneɛma nyinaa yiye. Ɔkae se, “Ɛno de, na adɛn nti na wɔakyerɛw se Onipa Ba no behu amane bebree na wɔapo no?
And, he, said unto them—Elijah, indeed, coming first, restoreth all things; and yet, how is it written, regarding the Son of Man, that, many things, he must suffer, and be set at nought?
13 Nanso mise mo sɛ, Elia aba dedaw! Na wɔne no anni no yiye sɛnea adiyifo no hyɛɛ ho nkɔm no.”
But I say unto you—Elijah also, hath come, and they have done with him, whatsoever they pleased, —according as it is written regarding him.
14 Bere a wosian beduu bepɔw no ase hɔ no, wohuu sɛ nnipakuw atwa asuafo a wɔaka no ho ahyia, na wɔne mmara no akyerɛkyerɛfo no regye wɔn ho wɔn ho akyinnye.
And, coming unto the disciples, they saw a large multitude around them, and Scribes discussing with them.
15 Bere a nnipakuw no huu Yesu no wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn, na wɔde mmirika behyiaa no.
And, straightway, all the multitude, seeing him, were greatly amazed, and, running near, began saluting him.
16 Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Akyinnye a na moregye no fa dɛn ho?”
And he questioned them—What are ye discussing with them?
17 Nnipa no mu baako kae se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, mede me ba aba ha sɛ sa no yare. Honhommɔne bi a ɛwɔ ne so nti, ontumi nkasa.
And one out of the multitude answered him—Teacher! I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;
18 Sɛ honhommɔne no ka ne ho wɔ ne mu a, etwa no hwe fam ma nʼano twa ahuru, twɛre ne se a wasinsen. Ɛno nti mesrɛɛ wʼasuafo no se wontu honhommɔne no mfi ne mu, nanso wɔantumi.”
and, wheresoever it seizeth him, it teareth him, and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and weareth himself out; —and I spake to thy disciples, that they should cast it out, and they could not.
19 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “O, mo a mo gyidi sua, me ne mo ntena nkosi da bɛn ansa na mo gyidi atim? Momfa abarimaa no mmrɛ me.”
But, he, answering, saith—O faithless generation! how long, shall I be with you? how long, shall I bear with you? Bring him unto me!
20 Wɔde abarimaa no brɛɛ Yesu. Wɔde no duu Yesu anim ara pɛ na ɔyare no baa denneennen, twaa no hwee fam, ma ɔperee a nʼano refi ahuru.
And they brought him unto him. And, seeing him, the spirit, straightway tare him, —and, falling upon the ground, he wallowed, foaming.
21 Yesu bisaa abarimaa no agya se, “Nnaahe ni a ɔyare yi baa ne so?” Abarimaa no agya buaa Yesu se, “Efi ne mmofraase pɛɛ;
And he questioned his father—How long a time, is it, that, this, hath befallen him? and he said—From childhood;
22 na ɛtɔ da bi koraa a, ɔyare no tumi twa no hwe ogya anaa nsu mu pɛ sɛ ekum no. Enti sɛ wubetumi asa no yare de a, hu yɛn mmɔbɔ, na sa no yare ma yɛn.”
and, many times, hath it cast him, both into fire, and into waters, that it might destroy him; but, if anything be possible to thee, help us, have compassion upon us.
23 Yesu bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na woka se sɛ metumi a? Nneɛma nyinaa betumi ayɛ hɔ ama obiara a ogye di.”
And, Jesus, said unto him—As for this, If it be possible to thee, all things, are possible, to him who hath faith.
24 Abarimaa no agya buae se, “Mewɔ gyidi nanso esua, enti boa me, na hyɛ me gyidi mu den!”
Straightway crying out, the father of the child was saying—I have faith! help my, want, of faith.
25 Yesu huu sɛ nnipa no dɔ ara na wɔredɔɔso no, ɔteɛɛ honhommɔne no se, “Honhommɔne ɔsotifo ne mumu, mehyɛ wo sɛ, fi abofra yi mu kɔ. Nkɔhyɛ ne mu bio!”
And Jesus, seeing that a multitude is running together, rebuked the impure spirit, saying unto it—Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I, give orders unto thee: Come forth out of him, and do not, any more, enter into him.
26 Afei ɔyare no baa denneennen ansa na ɛrefi ne mu, enti ɛmaa abarimaa no yɛɛ sɛ owufo. Nnipakuw no kasaa huhuhuhu se, “Wawu.”
And, crying out, and greatly mangling him, it came forth; and he became as if dead, so that, the more part, were saying—He is dead!
27 Na Yesu soo ne nsa pagyaw no ma ogyinaa ne nan so a ne ho atɔ no.
But, Jesus, grasping his hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 Eyi akyi a Yesu ne nʼasuafo no nko ara wɔ fie no, wobisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na yɛn de yɛantumi antu saa honhommɔne no?”
And, when he had gone into a house, his disciples, privately, were questioning him—Why, were, we, not able to cast it out?
29 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mpaebɔ nko ara na ebetumi atu saa ɔyare yi.”
And he said unto them—This kind, by nothing, can come out, save, by prayer.
30 Yesu fii hɔ no ɔfaa Galilea, efisɛ na ɔmpɛ sɛ nnipa te ne nka.
And, from thence, going forth, they were journeying through Galilee, —and he was not wishing that any should get to know it;
31 Na ɔpɛ sɛ onya bere ma nʼasuafo no de kyerɛkyerɛ wɔn. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Wobeyi Onipa Ba no ama, na wɔakum no, na ne nnansa so no ɔbɛsɔre aba nkwa mu bio.”
for he was teaching his disciples and saying [unto them], The Son of Man, is to be delivered up, into the hands of men, and they will slay him, —and, being slain, after three days, will he arise.
32 Asuafo no ante asɛm a ɔkae yi ase, nanso na wosuro sɛ wobebisa no ase.
But they were not understanding the declaration, and feared, to question, him.
33 Yesu ne nʼasuafo no baa Kapernaum. Bere a woduu ofi a wɔbɛtena mu no mu na wɔregye wɔn ahome no, Yesu bisaa nʼasuafo no se, “Yɛreba no dɛn akyinnye na na moregye wɔ ɔkwan so no?”
And they came into Capernaum. And, happening to be, in the house, he was questioning them—What, in the way, were ye discussing?
34 Asuafo no antumi ammua efisɛ na wɔredwinnwen nea ɔbɛyɛ wɔn mu ɔkɛse no ho.
And they were silent; for, with one another, they had discussed in the way, who should be greatest.
35 Ɔtenaa ase frɛɛ wɔn baa ne nkyɛn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔpanyin wɔ mo mu no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ abofra anaa ɔsomfo wɔ mo mu!”
And, taking a seat, he addressed the twelve, and saith unto them—If anyone willeth to be, first, he shall be, least of all, and, minister of all.
36 Afei ɔde abofra ketewa bi begyinaa wɔn mfimfini. Ɔde abofra no kyerɛɛ wɔn kae se,
And, taking a child, he set it in the midst of them, —and, folding it in his arms, said unto them—
37 “Mo mu biara a me nti obegye abofra ketewa sɛ oyi no agye me, na nea obegye me no nso agye mʼAgya a ɔsomaa me no.”
Whosoever, unto, [one of] these children, shall give welcome, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome; and, whosoever, unto me, giveth welcome, not, unto me, giveth welcome, but, unto him that sent me.
38 Yohane a ɔyɛ asuafo no mu baako no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yehuu ɔbarima bi a ɔde wo din retu ahonhommɔne nti yɛka kyerɛɛ no se onnyae, efisɛ ɔnka yɛn ho.”
John said unto him—Teacher! we saw someone, in thy name, casting out demons, —and we forbade him, because he was not following with us.
39 Yesu kae se, “Munnsiw no kwan. Efisɛ obiara nni hɔ a ɔreyɛ anwonwade wɔ me din mu na obetwa ne ho atia me.
But, Jesus, said—Do not forbid him! For, no one, is there, who shall do a work of power in my name, and have power, soon, to revile me;
40 Na obiara a ontia yɛn no wɔ yɛn afa.
For, whosoever is not, against, us, is, for, us;
41 Obiara a esiane sɛ, moyɛ Kristo de no nti ɔbɛma mo nsu kuruwa ma anom no akatua remmɔ no da.
For, whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water, in name that, Christ’s, ye are, Verily! I say unto you, in nowise, shall lose his reward.
42 “Enti sɛ obi to mmofra nketewa a wogye me di yi mu bi hintidua a, eye ma no sɛ anka wɔde ɔbotan duruduru bɛsɛn ne kɔn mu, atow no akyene po mu.
And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones that believe, it is, seemly, for him, rather, if there is hung a large millstone about his neck, and he is cast into the sea.
43 Sɛ wo nsa ma woyɛ bɔne a, twa na tow kyene. Eye ma wo sɛ wode dɛmdi bɛkɔ nkwa mu sen sɛ, wɔde wo nipadua nyinaa bɛto amanehunu gya (Geenna g1067)
And, if thy hand shall cause thee to stumble, cut it off, —it is, seemly, for thee, maimed, to enter into life, rather than having, the two hands, to depart into the gehenna, into the fire that is not quenched; (Geenna g1067)
44 a ennum da no mu.
45 Na sɛ wo nan ma woyɛ bɔne a, twa na tow kyene. Eye ma wo sɛ wode nansin bɛkɔ nkwa mu sen sɛ, wode nan abien bɛkɔ amanehunu gya (Geenna g1067)
And, if thy foot be causing thee to stumble, cut it off, —it is, seemly, for thee, to enter into life, lame, rather than having, the two feet, to be cast into the gehenna; (Geenna g1067)
46 a ennum da no mu.”
47 Na sɛ wʼani ma woyɛ bɔne a, tu na tow kyene. Eye ma wo sɛ wode ani baako bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu sen sɛ wowɔ ani abien na wɔde wo bɛto amanehunu gya mu (Geenna g1067)
And, if thine eye be causing thee to stumble, thrust it out, —it is, seemly, for thee, one-eye, to enter into the kingdom of God, rather than having, two eyes, to be cast into gehenna, (Geenna g1067)
48 baabi a “‘ogya no ennum da na ɛhɔ asunson nso nwu da.’
Where, their worm, dieth not, and, the fire, is not quenched,
49 Na wɔde ogya bɛhyɛ wɔn nyinaa nkyene.
For, everyone, with fire, shall be salted.
50 “Nkyene yɛ dɛ, nanso sɛ nkyene yera ne dɛ a, ɛso nni mfaso bio; wonte ne dɛ wɔ biribiara mu. Enti monnyera mo dɛ. Mo ne mo ho mo ho ntena asomdwoe mu.”
Salt is, good: but, if, salt, become, saltless, wherewith will ye, prepare, it? Have, within yourselves, salt, and be at peace, one with another.
