Mateo 8
1 Bere a Yesu sian bepɔw no, dɔm dii nʼakyi.
And when he had come down from the mountain, many multitudes followed him.
2 Ɔkwatani bi baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛkotow no srɛɛ no se, “Me wura, mesrɛ wo, sɛ ɛyɛ wo pɛ a, sa me yare.”
And behold, a leper came and did him homage, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 Yesu teɛɛ ne nsa de kaa ɔkwatani no kae se, “Mɛsa wo yare. Wo ho mfi!” Amono mu hɔ ara, kwata no fii ne ho.
And Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying: I will; be clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo ne obiara nni wʼayaresa yi ho nkɔmmɔ. Kɔ na fa wo ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo, na bɔ afɔre a Mose hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmmɔ sɛ adansede no.”
And Jesus said to him: See that you tell no one. But go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
5 Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum. Oduu hɔ no, Roma asraafo ɔha so panyin bi baa ne kyɛn bebuu no nkotodwe kae se,
And when he entered Capernaum, there came to him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 “Awurade, mʼabofra abubu gu hɔ a ɔrehu amane; mesrɛ wo, bɛsa no yare ma me.”
and saying: Lord, my servant lies in my house, palsied, fearfully afflicted.
7 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mɛba abɛsa no yare.”
And Jesus said to him: I will go and cure him.
8 Asraafo ha so panyin no tee Yesu asɛm a ɔkae no, ɔkae se, “Awurade, memfata sɛ woba me fi. Ka biribi na mʼabofra no ho bɛyɛ no den.
And the centurion answering, said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof; but say in a word only, and my servant shall be restored to health.
9 Meyɛ obi a mehyɛ tumi ase, na mesan wɔ asraafo a wɔhyɛ mʼase. Meka kyerɛ wɔn mu bi sɛ ɔnkɔ a, ɔkɔ. Meka kyerɛ ɔfoforo se ɔmmra a, ɔba. Saa ara nso na mehyɛ me somfo sɛ ɔnyɛ biribi a, ɔyɛ ara ne no.”
For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.
10 Yesu tee saa asɛm no, ɛyɛɛ no nwonwa. Ɔdan nʼani, ka kyerɛɛ nnipadɔm a wodi nʼakyi no se, “Israelman mu nyinaa, minhuu gyidi a ɛte sɛɛ da.
And when Jesus heard it, he was filled with admiration, and said to those who followed him: Verily I say to you, not even in Israel have I found so great faith.
11 Na mereka akyerɛ mo se, nnipa pii befi apuei ne atɔe aba na wɔne Abraham, Isak ne Yakob abɛtena ase wɔ ɔsoro Ahenni no mu.
I also say to you, That many shall come from the east and the west, and shall recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;
12 Na Israelfo a wosiesiee ɔsoro ahenni maa wɔn no mu pii wɔ hɔ a wɔde wɔn nsa begu wɔn ti atwa agyaadwo na wɔatow wɔn agu sum kabii mu ama ɔyaw.”
but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast into the darkness that is without. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ asraafo so panyin no se, “Kɔ fie. Nea wugye di no mmra mu saa mma wo!” Abofra no ho tɔɔ no saa bere no ara mu!
And Jesus said to the centurion: Go, and as you have believed, so be it to you. And his servant was restored to health in that hour.
14 Yesu kɔɔ Petro fi. Ɔkɔtoo sɛ atiridii akyere Petro asebea ma ɔda hɔ.
And when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying, and ill of a fever.
15 Yesu soo ne nsa mu maa atiridii no tu fii no so. Ɔsɔre noaa aduan maa wɔn.
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose and ministered to him.
16 Saa da no anwummere no, wɔde wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonhommɔne pii brɛɛ Yesu. Nʼanom asɛm a ɔkae no maa ahonhommɔne no nyinaa tu yerae, na wɔn a wɔyare no nyinaa nso ho tɔɔ wɔn.
When the evening had come, they brought to him many that were possessed with demons: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and cured all that were sick;
17 Eyi maa nea Odiyifo Yesaia kae se, “Ɔfaa yɛn ahoɔmmerɛw, na ɔsoaa yɛn nyarewa nyinaa” no baa mu.
that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: He himself took our infirmities, and bore our diseases.
18 Yesu huu sɛ dɔm no redɔɔso no, ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, wontwa ɔtare no nkɔ nʼagya nohɔ.
But when Jesus saw many multitudes about him, he gave orders to depart to the other side.
19 Ɛhɔ ara Yudani kyerɛkyerɛfo bi ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, baabiara a wobɛkɔ no, medi wʼakyi!”
And a certain scribe came and said to him: Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.
20 Yesu buaa no se, “Sakraman wɔ wɔn abon, wim nnomaa nso wɔ mmerebuw, nanso me, Onipa Ba no de, minni baabi a mede me ti to!”
And Jesus said to him: The foxes have dens, and the birds of the air have roosts; but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.
21 Asuafo no mu baako bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, ma me kwan na minkosie mʼagya ansa na mabedi wʼakyi.”
And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.
22 Nanso Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Di mʼakyi. Wɔn a wɔawu no nsie wɔn awufo.”
But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.
23 Yesu saa nyarewa no wiee no, ɔkɔtenaa ɔkorow mu na nʼasuafo no dii nʼakyi.
And when he had entered the ship, his disciples followed him.
24 Prɛko pɛ, ahum kɛse bi tu maa asorɔkye bu bɛkataa ɔkorow no so. Nanso na Yesu de, wada.
And behold, there was a great tempest in the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves: but he was asleep.
25 Nʼasuafo no de nteɛteɛmu kɔɔ ne nkyɛn, konyan no kae se, “Awurade! Gye yɛn na yɛreyɛ amem!”
And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying: Lord, save us; we perish.
26 Yesu nyanee no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo a mo gyidi sua, adɛn na moabɔ hu saa?” Ɛhɔ ara, ɔsɔre teɛteɛɛ ahum ne asorɔkye no ma ɛyɛɛ dinn.
And he said to them: Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea: and there was a great calm.
27 Asuafo no ho dwiriw wɔn yiye. Wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Onipa bɛn mpo ni a ahum ne ɛpo tie no yi?”
But the men were astonished, and said: What man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
28 Yesu ne nʼasuafo no duu asuogya wɔ Gadarafo asase so no, nnipa baanu bi a ahonhommɔne wɔ wɔn so fii amusiei behyiaa no. Esiane sɛ na saa nnipa yi yɛ keka nti, na obiara ntumi mfa faako a wɔwɔ hɔ.
And when he had come to the opposite side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two men, coming out of the tombs, possessed with demons, very fierce, so that no one could pass that way.
29 Wohuu no pɛ, wofii ase teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Onyankopɔn Ba, dɛn na worehwehwɛ afi yɛn nkyɛn? Woaba ha sɛ worebɛyɛ yɛn ayayade wɔ bere a mmere no nsoe ana?”
And behold, they cried out, saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God? Hast thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30 Saa bere koro no ara mu, na mprakokuw bi redidi wɔ nkyɛn baabi.
Now there was, at a distance from them, a herd of many swine, feeding.
31 Ahonhommɔne no srɛɛ Yesu se, “Sɛ wutu yɛn a, fa yɛn kɔhyɛ mprakokuw yi mu.”
And the demons besought him, saying: If thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine.
32 Yesu teɛɛ wɔn se, “Mumfi!” Ɛhɔ ara ahonhommɔne no fii nnipa no mu, kowuraa mprako no mu. Mprakokuw no nyinaa de mmirika sian bepɔw no, koguu ɛpo no mu ma ɛfaa wɔn.
And he said to them: Go. And when they had come out, they went away into the herd of swine. And behold, the whole herd of swine rushed down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33 Ntɛm ara, wɔn a wɔhwɛ mprako no so no tuu mmirika kɔɔ kurom, kɔkaa nea asi no kyerɛɛ nkurɔfo.
And those who fed them fled, and went into the city, and told every thing, and what had happened to those who had been possessed with the demons.
34 Kurom hɔfo no tee nea aba no, wɔbɔɔ twi kɔɔ nea Yesu wɔ hɔ no. Wohuu Yesu no, wɔsrɛɛ no sɛ omfi wɔn man mu hɔ nkɔ.
And, behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they besought him to depart out of their borders.
