Mateo 21
1 Aka kakra na Yesu ne nʼasuafo no adu Yerusalem no, wɔbɛn kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Betfage a ɛwɔ Ngo Bepɔw no so hɔ no. Ɛhɔ na Yesu somaa nʼasuafo no mu baanu se, wonni kan nkɔ.
And when they drewe neere to Hierusalem, and were come to Bethphage, vnto the mount of the Oliues, then sent Iesus two disciples,
2 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛ mudu hɔ a, mubehu sɛ wɔasa afurum bi ne ne ba hama. Monsan wɔn, na momfa wɔn mmrɛ me.
Saying to them, Goe into the towne that is ouer against you, and anon yee shall finde an asse bounde, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them vnto me.
3 Sɛ obi ka asɛm bi kyerɛ mo a, monka nkyerɛ onipa ko no se, ‘Wɔn ho hia Awurade,’ na ntɛm ara ɔbɛma mo de wɔn aba.”
And if any man say ought vnto you, say ye, that the Lord hath neede of them, and straightway he will let them goe.
4 Wɔyɛɛ eyi de hyɛɛ tete nkɔmhyɛ a ɛka se,
All this was done that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, saying,
5 “Monka nkyerɛ Ɔbabea Sion se wo hene reba wo nkyɛn. Odwo, na ɔte afurum ne afurum ba so” no mu den.
Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Beholde, thy King commeth vnto thee, meeke and sitting vpon an asse, and a colte, the foale of an asse vsed to the yoke.
6 Asuafo baanu no yɛɛ nea Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no.
So the disciples went, and did as Iesus had commanded them,
7 Wɔde mmoa no brɛɛ no no, wɔde wɔn ntama sesɛw afurum no so, maa Yesu tenaa no so.
And brought the asse and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and set him thereon.
8 Nnipadɔm a wɔwɔ hɔ no bi de wɔn ntama sesɛw ɔkwan a ɔde aboa no nam so no so. Ebinom nso bubuu nnua mman de sesɛw ɔkwan no mu saa ara.
And a great multitude spred their garments in the way: and other cut downe branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 Dɔm no tu teɛe de osebɔ teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Hosiana Dawid Ba!” “Nhyira ne nea ɔnam Awurade din mu reba no.” “Hosiana wɔ ɔsoro nohɔ!”
Moreouer, the people that went before, and they also that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Sonne of Dauid, Blessed be hee that commeth in the Name of the Lord, Hosanna thou which art in the highest heauens.
10 Bere a oduu Yerusalem no, kurow no nyinaa bɔɔ twi. Ɛhɔfo no bisae se, “Na hena ni?”
And when he was come into Hierusalem, all the citie was mooued, saying, Who is this?
11 Nnipadɔm no buae se, “Ɛyɛ Yesu, Odiyifo a ofi Nasaret a ɛwɔ Galileaman mu no.”
And the people said, This is Iesus that Prophet of Nazareth in Galile.
12 Yesu fii hɔ no, ɔkɔɔ hyiadan mu. Oduu hɔ no, ɔpam aguadifo a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa, kaa sikasesafo apon nyinaa guu fam, bubuu pata a wɔtɔn mmorɔnoma wɔ mu no nyinaa gui.
And Iesus went into the Temple of God, and cast out all them that solde and bought in the Temple, and ouerthrew the tables of the money chagers, and the seates of them that sold doues,
13 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, ‘Mʼasɔrefi yɛ beae a wɔbɔ mpae.’ Nanso mo de, mode hɔ ayɛ adwowtwafo atenae.”
And said to them, it is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer: but ye haue made it a denne of theeues.
14 Afei anifuraefo ne mmubuafo baa ne nkyɛn wɔ hyiadan mu hɔ ma ɔsaa wɔn nyinaa yare.
Then the blinde, and the halt came to him in the Temple, and he healed them.
15 Nanso bere a asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyin bi huu anwonwade yi na wɔtee nso sɛ mmofra nkumaa a wɔwɔ hyiadan mu hɔ reteɛteɛ mu se, “Nhyira nka Dawid Ba no” no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ.
But when the chiefe priestes and Scribes sawe the marueiles that hee did, and the children crying in the Temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Sonne of Dauid, they disdained,
16 Enti wobisaa Yesu se, “Wote nsɛm a mmofra no reka no ana?” Yesu bua se, “Yiw. Na monkenkan saa Kyerɛwsɛm a ɛka se, “‘Mmofra ne nkokoaa mpo de wɔn ano kamfo wo’ no da, ana?”
And said vnto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Iesus said vnto them, Yea: read ye neuer, By the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast made perfite the praise?
17 Afei ofii hɔ san kɔɔ Betania kɔdaa hɔ.
So hee left them, and went out of the citie vnto Bethania, and lodged there.
18 Ade kyee anɔpa a ɔresan akɔ Yerusalem no, ɔkɔm dee no.
And in the morning, as he returned into the citie, he was hungrie,
19 Ohuu sɛ borɔdɔma dua bi si ɔkwan ho baabi. Ɔkɔɔ hɔ kɔhwɛɛ sɛ borɔdɔma no bi wɔ so, nanso oduu hɔ no, ohuu sɛ nhaban nko ara na ɛwɔ so. Ɔdomee borɔdɔma dua no se, “Efi nnɛ, worensow aba bio!” Ɛhɔ ara borɔdɔma dua no wui. (aiōn g165)
And seeing a figge tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaues onely, and said to it, Neuer fruite grow on thee henceforwards. And anon the figge tree withered. (aiōn g165)
20 Asɛm yi yɛɛ Yesu asuafo no nwonwa ma wobisaa no se, “Na ɛyɛɛ dɛn nti na borɔdɔma dua no so nhaban poo ntɛm saa?”
And when his disciples saw it, they marueiled, saying, How soone is the figge tree withered!
21 Yesu nso buaa wɔn se, “Nokware, sɛ mowɔ gyidi na munnhinhim a, mubetumi ayɛ ade koro yi ara bi, anaa nea ɛkyɛn saa mpo. Anka mubetumi aka akyerɛ Ngo Bepɔw yi se, ‘Tutu kogu po mu,’ na ebetutu akogu mu nso.
And Iesus answered and said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, if ye haue faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only doe that, which I haue done to the figge tree, but also if ye say vnto this mountaine, Take thy selfe away, and cast thy selfe into the sea, it shalbe done.
22 Biribiara a mode gyidi bebisa wɔ mpaebɔ mu no, mo nsa bɛka.”
And whatsoeuer ye shall aske in prayer, if ye beleeue, ye shall receiue it.
23 Yesu san kɔɔ hyiadan mu hɔ a ɔrekyerɛkyerɛ no, asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyin baa ne kyɛn bebisaa no tumi ko a ogyina so pam aguadifo ne sikasesafo no fii hyiadan mu hɔ no.
And whe he was come into the Temple, the chiefe Priestes, and the Elders of the people came vnto him, as he was teaching, and saide, By what authoritie doest thou these things? and who gaue thee this authoritie?
24 Yesu kae se, “Merebebisa mo asɛm baako bi, na mummua me ansa.
Then Iesus answered and said vnto them, I also will aske of you a certaine thing, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authoritie I doe these things.
25 Onyankopɔn na ɔsomaa Osuboni Yohane anaa ɛnyɛ ɔno?” Wodwinnwen ho kae se, “Sɛ yɛka sɛ ‘Efi Onyankopɔn’ a, wobebisa yɛn nea enti a yɛannye nea Yohane kae no anni?
The baptisme of Iohn, whence was it? from heauen, or of men? Then they reasoned among themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say vnto vs, Why did ye not then beleeue him?
26 Na sɛ yɛka se, ‘Ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔsomaa no’ nso a, dɔm no bɛhaw yɛn efisɛ, wɔn nyinaa nim sɛ Yohane yɛ odiyifo.”
And if we say, Of men, we feare the multitude, for all holde Iohn as a Prophet.
27 Enti wɔn mmuae a wɔmae ara ne sɛ, “Yennim!” Ɛhɔ ara na Yesu nso kae se, “Sɛ munnim de a, me nso meremmua mo.”
Then they answered Iesus, and said, We can not tell. And he said vnto them, Neither tell I you by what authoritie I doe these things.
28 Yesu kae se, “Saa asɛm a merebɛka yi mudwen ho dɛn? Ɔbarima bi wɔ mmabarima baanu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn mu panyin no se, ‘Me ba, nnɛ kɔ mʼafum na kɔyɛ adwuma wɔ hɔ.’
But what thinke ye? A certaine man had two sonnes, and came to the elder, and saide, Sonne, goe and worke to day in my vineyarde.
29 “Ne ba no kae se, ‘Merenkɔ,’ nanso akyiri no, ɔsesaa nʼadwene na ɔkɔe.
But he answered, and said, I will not: yet afterward he repented himselfe, and went.
30 “Afei agya no ka kyerɛɛ akumaa no se, ‘Wo nso kɔ.’ Ɔno nso kae se, ‘Agya, mate, mɛkɔ.’ Nanso wankɔ.
Then came he to the second, and said likewise. And he answered, and said, I will, Syr: yet he went not.
31 “Saa mmofra baanu yi mu hena na otie nʼagya asɛm?” Wobuae se, “Ɛyɛ ne ba panyin no.” Yesu see wɔn se, “Akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ abɔnefo ne nguamanfo bɛkɔ Ɔsoro Ahenni mu ansa na moakɔ.
Whether of them twaine did the will of the father? They saide vnto him, The first. Iesus saide vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, that the Publicanes and the harlots goe before you into the kingdome of God.
32 Efisɛ Yohane baa mo nkyɛn sɛ ɔrebɛkyerɛ mo trenee kwan, na moannye no anni. Nanso towgyefo ne nguamanfo gyee no dii. Na muhuu eyi mpo no, moansakra mo adwene, na moannye no anni.”
For Iohn came vnto you in the way of righteousnes, and yee beleeued him not: but the Publicanes, and the harlots beleeued him, and ye, though ye sawe it, were not mooued with repentance afterward, that ye might beleeue him.
33 Yesu buu wɔn bɛ foforo bi se, “Da bi, ɔbarima bi a ɔwɔ bobeturo a wagye ban afa ho, na watu amoa a wokyi nsa wɔ mu, de afuw no gyaw akuafo bi. Eyi akyi no, otuu kwan kɔɔ ɔman foforo bi so.
Heare another parable, There was a certaine housholder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and made a winepresse therein, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange countrey.
34 Eduu bere a bobe no beree a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtew no, ɔsomaa ne ho nnipa baa akuafo no hɔ sɛ wommegye ne kyɛfa mmrɛ no.
And when the time of the fruite drewe neere, hee sent his seruants to the husbandmen to receiue the fruites thereof.
35 “Woduu hɔ ara pɛ na akuafo no tow hyɛɛ nnipa no so, boroo ɔbaako, kum ɔbaako na wosiw ɔbaako nso abo.
And ye husbandmen tooke his seruants and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Afei ɔsan somaa nnipa a wɔn dodow sen wɔn a ɔsomaa wɔn kan no se wɔnkɔ akuafo no nkyɛn, nanso asɛm koro no ara bi na esii.
Againe hee sent other seruants, moe then the first: and they did the like vnto them.
37 Eyi akyi no ɔsomaa ɔno nʼankasa ne ba kɔɔ akuafo no nkyɛn susuwii sɛ, wɔde nidi bɛma no.
But last of all he sent vnto them his owne sonne, saying, They will reuerence my sonne.
38 “Nanso akuafo no huu sɛ ne ba no apue reba pɛ, wɔfaa ne ho adwene kae se, ‘Ɔdedifo no na ɔreba no; momma yenkum no, na yɛmfa afuw no!’
But when the husbandmen saw the sonne, they saide among themselues, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and let vs take his inheritance.
39 Ɛhɔ ara na wɔtwee no fii afuw no mu, kokum no too baabi.
So they tooke him, and cast him out of the vineyarde, and slewe him.
40 “Sɛ afuw wura no san ba a, mugye di sɛ dɛn na ɔbɛyɛ saa akuafo no?”
When therefore the Lord of the vineyarde shall come, what will hee doe to those husbandmen?
41 Yudafo mpanyin no buae se, “Ɔno nso bekum saa atirimɔdenfo no na ɔde afuw no ama akuafo foforo a wɔde ne kyɛfa bɛma no bere a ɛsɛ mu.”
They saide vnto him, Hee will cruelly destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard vnto other husbandmen, which shall deliuer him the fruites in their seasons.
42 Yesu bisaa wɔn bio se, “Monkenkan Kyerɛwsɛm no mu da sɛ, “‘Ɔbo a adansifo apo no ɛno ara na abɛyɛ ɔdan no twea so tibo. Awurade na wayɛ eyi, na ɛyɛ nwonwa wɔ yɛn ani so?’
Iesus saide vnto them, Read ye neuer in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders refused, the same is made the head of the corner? This was the Lordes doing, and it is marueilous in our eyes.
43 “Nea mereka ara ne sɛ, wobegye Onyankopɔn Ahenni no afi mo nsam de akɔma ɔman foforo a wobebu ne nnɔbae no ho nkontaa pa akyerɛ no.
Therefore say I vnto you, The kingdome of God shalbe taken from you, and shalbe giuen to a nation, which shall bring foorth the fruites thereof.
44 Wɔn a wɔbɛhwe saa ɔbotan yi so no mu bebubu, na nea ɔbo no bɛhwe ne so no nso bɛpɛtɛw.”
And whosoeuer shall fall on this stone, he shalbe broken: but on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will dash him a pieces.
45 Bere a asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyin no tee ase sɛ Yesu asɛm a ɔreka no fa wɔn ho no,
And when the chiefe Priestes and Pharises had heard his parables, they perceiued that hee spake of them.
46 wɔpɛɛ sɛ wɔyɛ no bɔne, nanso na wosuro dɔm no efisɛ na wɔagye Yesu ato mu sɛ ɔyɛ Odiyifo.
And they seeking to laye handes on him, feared the people, because they tooke him as a Prophet.
