< Marko 1 >

1 Asɛmpa a ɛfa Yesu Kristo, Onyankopɔn Ba no ho no mfiase ni.
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God;
2 Wɔakyerɛw wɔ Odiyifo Yesaia nhoma no mu se, “Mɛsoma me bɔfo adi wʼanim kan. Ɔno na obesiesie ɔkwan ama wo.”
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee;
3 “Obi nne reteɛ mu wɔ sare so, ‘Munsiesie ɔkwan mma Awurade, mommɔ akwan a ɛteɛ mma no.’”
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 Enti Yohane ba bɛbɔɔ asu wɔ sare so, ɔkaa adwensakra asubɔ a ɛma bɔnefakyɛ ho asɛm.
John was baptizing in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins.
5 Nnipa fifi Yerusalem ne Yudea nkurow nyinaa so kohuu Yohane tiee no. Na wɔkaa wɔn bɔne kyerɛɛ no no, ɔbɔɔ wɔn asu wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu.
And there went out to him all the land of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Na Yohane hyɛ atade a wɔde yoma nwi na apam a aboa nhoma abɔso nso bɔ mu. Na nʼaduan yɛ mmoadabi ne ɛwo.
And John was clothed with camels hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey;
7 Ɔrekyerɛkyerɛ no, ɔkae se, “Ɛrenkyɛ koraa, obi bɛba a ɔwɔ tumi sen me, a ne mpaboa hama mpo, mensɛ sɛ mekotow na masan.
And preached, saying, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8 Me de, mede nsu na ɛbɔ mo asu, na ɔno de, ɔde Honhom Kronkron na ɛbɛbɔ mo asu!”
I indeed have baptized you with water: but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
9 Saa bere no mu na Yesu fi Nasaret a ɛwɔ Galileaman mu ba maa Yohane bɔɔ no asu wɔ asubɔnten Yordan mu.
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth to Galilee, and was baptized by John in Jordan.
10 Yesu fii asu no mu sii konkɔn so ara pɛ, ohuu sɛ ɔsoro abue, na Honhom Kronkron resian sɛ aborɔnoma aba ne so.
And immediately coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him.
11 Na nne bi fi ɔsoro kae se, “Wone me Dɔba a wosɔ mʼani.”
And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 Ɛhɔ ara, Honhom Kronkron de Yesu kɔɔ sare so.
And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
13 Ɔtenaa hɔ adaduanan a na wuram mmoa na ɛka ne ho. Ɛhɔ na ɔbonsam sɔɔ no hwɛe. Akyiri no, abɔfo ba bɛsom no.
And he was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan: and was with the wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.
14 Ɔhene Herode kyeree Yohane akyi no, Yesu kɔɔ Galilea kɔkaa asɛmpa no wɔ hɔ.
Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 Ɔkae se, “Bere no awie du! Onyankopɔn ahenni no abɛn. Monsakra mo adwene na munnye asɛmpa no nni!”
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
16 Da bi a Yesu nam Galilea mpoano no, ohuu Simon ne ne nua Andrea sɛ wɔregu asau.
Now as he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
17 Yesu frɛɛ wɔn se, “Mummedi mʼakyi! Na mɛma mo ayɛ nnipayifo.”
And Jesus said to them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 Ɛhɔ ara, wogyaw wɔn asau no guu hɔ kodii nʼakyi.
And immediately they forsook their nets, and followed him.
19 Ɔkɔɔ nʼanim kakra no, ohuu Sebedeo mma baanu a wɔfrɛ ɔbaako Yohane, na ɔbaako nso de Yakobo, sɛ wɔte ɔkorow mu reyɛ wɔn asau ho adwuma.
And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.
20 Ɔfrɛɛ wɔn nso se wommedi nʼakyi. Ntɛm ara na wogyaw wɔn agya Sebedeo ne nʼapaafo hɔ wɔ ɔkorow no mu bedii nʼakyi.
And immediately he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 Yesu ne nʼakyidifo yi beduu Kapernaum. Na Homeda duu no, ɔkɔɔ asɔredan mu kɔkaa asɛmpa no.
And they went into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 Nnipa no tee asɛm no maa wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn, efisɛ ɔkasaa te sɛ obi a ɔwɔ tumi, na mmom wankasa sɛ Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no.
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Amono mu hɔ ara na ɔbarima bi a ɔwɔ wɔn hyiadan no mu hɔ a ɔwɔ honhommɔne teɛɛ mu se,
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 “Dɛn na wo Nasareni Yesu ne yɛn wɔ yɛ? Woaba sɛ worebɛsɛe yɛn ana? Minim wo sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba Kronkron no!”
Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 Yesu teɛteɛɛ honhommɔne no se, “Mua wʼano! Fi ne mu kɔ!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 Honhommɔne no wosow saa ɔbarima no na ɔteɛteɛɛ mu dennen maa ne tu kɔe.
And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27 Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn ma wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se. “Nkyerɛkyerɛ foforo bɛn ni? Ahonhommɔne mpo tie ne nne!”
And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine [is] this? for with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 Saa anwonwade a ɔyɛe yi ho nsɛm trɛw faa Galileaman mu nyinaa.
And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region around Galilee.
29 Wofii hyiadan no mu no, wɔne Yakobo ne Yohane kɔɔ Simon ne Andrea fi.
And forthwith, when they had come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Na Simon asebea da mpa so a atiridii akyere no, na wɔkaa ne ho asɛm kyerɛɛ Yesu.
But the mother of Simon's wife lay sick with a fever; and forthwith they tell him of her.
31 Yesu kɔɔ faako a ɔda hɔ kosoo ne nsa ma ɔsɔre tenaa ase. Ɛhɔ ara na atiridii no tu fii ne so ma ofii ase twɛn wɔn.
And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.
32 Eduu anwummere no, nnipa no de ayarefo ne wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonhommɔne brɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔnsa wɔn yare.
And at evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with demons.
33 Kurow mu no nyinaa bɛboaa wɔn ho ano wɔ ofi no abobow ano,
And all the city was gathered at the door.
34 na Yesu saa ayarefo bebree yare. Otuu ahonhommɔne bebree nso. Nanso, wamma ahonhommɔne no ankasa, efisɛ, na wonim no.
And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 Ahemadakye a na anim ntetewee no, Yesu sɔre fii fie hɔ kɔɔ baabi a ɛhɔ yɛ dinn, kɔbɔɔ mpae wɔ hɔ.
And in the morning, rising a great while before day, he went out and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 Simon ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho fii adi kɔhwehwɛɛ no,
And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him.
37 na wohuu no no, wɔteɛɛ mu kae se, “Nnipa bebree rehwehwɛ wo!”
And when they had found him, they said to him, All [men] seek for thee.
38 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkɔ nkurow a aka no so, na mekɔka mʼasɛm kyerɛ wɔn, efisɛ, ɛno nti na mebae.”
And he said to them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for, for this purpose have I come.
39 Enti, ɔkɔɔ Galileaman mu baabiara kɔkaa asɛmpa no wɔ asɔredan mu, tuu ahonhommɔne bebree nso.
And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out demons.
40 Ɔkwatani bi bɛkotow no srɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ ɛyɛ wo pɛ a, wubetumi ama me ho afi.”
And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Yesu huu ɔkwatani no mmɔbɔ, enti ɔde ne nsa kaa no kae se, “Mepɛ! Wo ho mfi!”
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth [his] hand, and touched him, and saith to him, I will; be thou clean.
42 Amono mu hɔ ara, ne ho fi maa ne ho tɔɔ no!
And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Yesu bɔɔ nʼano denneennen se,
And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
44 “Nka saa asɛm yi nkyerɛ obiara, na mmom fa wo ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo. Sɛ worekɔ a fa wʼafɔrebɔde a Mose ahyɛ sɛ akwatafo a wɔasa wɔn yare mfa nka wɔn ho nkɔ no ka wo ho kɔ sɛnea ɛbɛma obiara ahu sɛ wo ho atɔ wo.”
And saith to him, See thou say nothing to any man; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
45 Nanso ɔrekɔ no nyinaa, na ɔde nteɛteɛmu rebɔ nʼayaresa no ho dawuru. Esiane eyi nti sɛ Yesu kɔ baabiara a, nnipadɔm betwa ne ho hyia. Ɛno nti na baabiara a ɔbɛkɔ no onnyi ne ho adi. Enti ɔtenaa sare so hɔ maa nnipa bebree baa ne nkyɛn.
But he went out, and began to publish [it] much, and to blaze abroad the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
