Mateo 20
1 Yesu san buu wɔn bɛ foforo bi se, “Ɔsoro Ahenni te sɛ okuafo bi a ofii adi anɔpa bi sɛ ɔrekɔhwehwɛ nnipa abɔ wɔn paa.
For the kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine, housholder, which went out at the dawning of the day to hire labourers into his vineyarde.
2 Ne nsa kaa apaafo no, ɔne wɔn hyehyɛɛ sɛ obetua wɔn da koro adwuma so akatua.
And he agreed with the labourers for a peny a day, and sent them into his vineyard.
3 “Ankyɛ ofii adi bio kohuu nnipa bi nso, sɛ wogyinagyina hɔ a wɔnyɛ hwee.
And he went out about the third houre, and sawe other standing idle in the market place,
4 Ɔfaa wɔn nso de wɔn kɔɔ nʼafuw no mu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn nso se, obetua wɔn nea eye.
And sayd vnto them, Goe ye also into my vineyard, and whatsoeuer is right, I will giue you: and they went their way.
5 Enti wɔkɔe. “Ɔsan kɔɔ owigyinae ne nnɔn abiɛsa bere mu kɔbɔɔ nnipa foforo paa ne wɔn yɛɛ nhyehyɛe koro no ara bi.
Againe he went out about the sixt and ninth houre, and did likewise.
6 Ɔsan fii adi bɛyɛ nnɔnnum bere mu, kohuu sɛ nnipa bi gyinagyina hɔ. Obisaa wɔn se, ‘Adɛn nti na da mu yi nyinaa mugyinagyina ha a monyɛ hwee?’
And he went about the eleuenth houre, and found other standing idle, and sayd vnto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7 “Wobuae se, ‘Obi mmɛbɔɔ yɛn paa ɛ.’ “Ɛhɔ ara na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, ‘Ɛno de, mo nso monkɔyɛ adwuma wɔ mʼafum.’
They sayd vnto him, Because no man hath hired vs. He sayd to them, Goe ye also into my vineyard, and whatsoeuer is right, that shall ye receiue.
8 “Eduu anwummere no, ɔfrɛɛ nea otua nʼapaafo no ka no ka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Hwɛ na tua wɔn ka, fi wɔn a wɔbaa akyiri yi no so kosi wɔn a wɔbaa kan no so.’
And when euen was come, the master of the vineyard sayd vnto his steward, Call the labourers, and giue them their hire, beginning at the last, till thou come to the first.
9 “Apaafo a ɔfaa wɔn akyiri no nyinaa, otuaa wɔn da koro apaade.
And they which were hired about ye eleuenth houre, came and receiued euery man a penie.
10 Wɔn a wɔfaa wɔn kan no nso bae. Wosusuw sɛ wobenya sika a ɛboro wɔn a wɔfaa wɔn akyiri no de no. Nanso wɔn nso wotuaa wɔn sɛnea wotuaa wɔn a wɔbaa akyiri no ara pɛ.
Nowe when the first came, they supposed that they should receiue more, but they likewise receiued euery man a penie.
11 Wɔn nsa kaa wɔn apaade no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ.
And when they had receiued it, they murmured against the master of the house,
12 Wɔka kyerɛɛ afuw wura no se, ‘Nnipa a wɔbaa akyiri no yɛɛ adwuma dɔnhwerew baako pɛ, nanso yɛn a yɛyɛɛ adwuma fi anɔpa maa owia hyee yɛn no, womaa yɛne wɔn nyinaa akatua pɛ.’
Saying, These last haue wrought but one houre, and thou hast made them equall vnto vs, which haue borne the burden and heate of the day.
13 “Obuaa wɔn mu baako se, ‘Damfo, menyɛɛ wo bɔne biara. Me ne wo anni ano sɛ, metua wo da koro adwuma so akatua ana?
And hee answered one of them, saying, Friend, I doe thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penie?
14 Fa sika a wo nsa aka no na kɔ. Efi me pɛ mu na meretua wɔn a wɔbaa kan ne wɔn a wɔbaa akyiri no nyinaa ka pɛ.
Take that which is thine owne, and go thy way: I will giue vnto this last, as much as to thee.
15 Mmara bi siw me ho kwan sɛ mede me sika yɛ nea mepɛ? Anaasɛ mʼayamye nti na wʼani abere yi?’
Is it not lawfull for me to do as I will with mine owne? Is thine eye euil, because I am good?
16 “Asɛm a Yesu ka de wiee ne sɛ, ‘Saa ara na wɔn a wodi akyi no bedi kan, na wɔn a wodi kan no nso bedi akyi.’”
So the last shalbe first, and the first last: for many are called, but fewe chosen.
17 Yesu sii mu sɛ ɔrekɔ Yerusalem no, ɔde nʼasuafo no kaa ne ho.
And Iesus went vp to Hierusalem, and tooke the twelue disciples apart in the way, and said vnto them,
18 Wɔrekɔ no, ɔtwee nʼasuafo no gyinaa nkyɛn baabi ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Yɛrekɔ Yerusalem. Wobeyi me ama asɔfo mpanyin ne kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo, na wɔabu me kumfɔ.
Beholde, wee goe vp to Hierusalem, and the Sonne of man shall bee deliuered vnto the chiefe priestes, and vnto the Scribes, and they shall condemne him to death,
19 Wɔde me bɛhyɛ Roma aban nsa, na wɔadi me ho fɛw, abɔ me asennua mu, na ne nnansa so no, mɛsɔre afi awufo mu.”
And shall deliuer him to the Gentiles, to mocke, and to scourge, and to crucifie him, but the third day he shall rise againe.
20 Sebedeo mma Yakobo ne Yohane ne wɔn na baa Yesu nkyɛn. Ɔbea yi de adesrɛde bi bɛtoo Yesu anim.
Then came to him the mother of Zebedeus children with her sonnes, worshipping him, and desiring a certaine thing of him.
21 Yesu bisaa no se, “Dɛn na wopɛ sɛ menyɛ mma wo?” Obuaa no se, “Mepɛ sɛ, sɛ wokɔ wʼahenni mu a, me mma baanu yi mu baako tena wo nifa so, na ɔbaako nso tena wo benkum so.”
And he said vnto her, What wouldest thou? She said to him, Graunt that these my two sonnes may sit, the one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left hand in thy kingdome.
22 Nanso Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wunnim nea worebisa no.” Afei ɔdan ne ho bisaa Yakobo ne Yohane se, “Mubetumi anom kuruwa a merebɛnom ano no bi ana?” Wobuaa no se, “Yebetumi!”
And Iesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye aske. Are ye able to drinke of the cup that I shall drinke of, and to be baptized with the baptisme that I shalbe baptized with? They said to him, We are able.
23 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Me kuruwa ano de, mubetumi anom, nanso minni tumi sɛ miyi wɔn a wɔbɛtena me nifa anaa me benkum so. Saa afa no wɔ hɔ ma wɔn a mʼAgya ayi wɔn no.”
And he said vnto them, Ye shall drinke in deede of my cup, and shall be baptized with the baptisme, that I am baptized with, but to sit at my right hande, and at my left hand, is not mine to giue: but it shalbe giuen to them for whome it is prepared of my Father.
24 Asuafo du a aka no tee nea Yakobo ne Yohane akobisa no, wɔn bo fuwii.
And when the other ten heard this, they disdained at the two brethren.
25 Yesu frɛɛ wɔn nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munim sɛ ahene ne atumfo di wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn ase no so. Saa ara nso na wɔn a wodi wɔn so no nso di afoforo so.
Therefore Iesus called them vnto him, and saide, We knowe that the lordes of the Gentiles haue domination ouer them, and they that are great, exercise authoritie ouer them.
26 Nanso mo de, ɛnte saa wɔ mo mu. Mmom, obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkɛse wɔ mo mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ mo somfo.
But it shall not be so among you: but whosoeuer will be great among you, let him be your seruant.
27 Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ odikanfo wɔ mo mu no, ɔnyɛ mo akoa.
And whosoeuer will be chiefe among you, let him be your seruant.
28 Onipa Ba no amma sɛ wɔnsom no, na mmom ɔbɛsomee, na ɔde ne kra too hɔ sɛ mpata maa nnipa nyinaa.”
Euen as the Sonne of man came not to be serued, but to serue, and to giue his life for the ransome of many.
29 Yesu ne nʼasuafo fi Yeriko rekɔ no, nnipadɔm tu dii wɔn akyi.
And as they departed from Iericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 Wɔrekɔ no, wɔkɔfaa baabi a anifuraefo baanu bi tete. Anifuraefo yi tee sɛ Yesu retwa mu no, wɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Awurade, Dawid Ba, hu yɛn mmɔbɔ!”
And beholde, two blinde men, sitting by the way side, when they heard that Iesus passed by, cryed, saying, O Lord, the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on vs.
31 Nnipadɔm a wodi Yesu akyi no teɛteɛɛ wɔn se wommua wɔn ano. Nanso anifuraefo no kɔɔ so teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Awurade, Dawid Ba, hu yɛn mmɔbɔ!”
And the multitude rebuked them, because they should holde their peace: but they cried the more, saying, O Lord, the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on vs.
32 Yesu duu nea wɔtete hɔ no, ogyina bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na mopɛ sɛ meyɛ ma mo?”
Then Iesus stoode still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do to you?
33 Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Awurade, yɛpɛ sɛ yehu ade!”
They saide to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 Anifuraefo no yɛɛ Yesu mmɔbɔ. Ɔde ne nsa kekaa wɔn ani, na prɛko pɛ wohuu ade, na wodii nʼakyi.
And Iesus mooued with compassion, touched their eyes, and immediatly their eyes receiued sight, and they followed him.
