Mateo 9
1 Eyi akyi no, Yesu kɔtenaa ɔkorow bi mu kɔɔ Kapernaum, kurow a ɔte mu no mu.
AND he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
2 Oduu hɔ no, ankyɛ biara na nnipa bi de obubuafo bi brɛɛ no sɛ ɔnsa no yare. Na Yesu huu gyidi a wɔwɔ wɔ ne mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafo no se, “Ɔba, ma wʼani nnye, wɔde wo bɔne nyinaa akyɛ wo.”
And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
3 Ɛhɔ ara na Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo a na wɔwɔ hɔ no bi teɛɛ mu se, “Ɔbarima yi ka abususɛm. Ɔkyerɛ sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn!”
And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
4 Yesu huu nea ɛwɔ wɔn adwene mu no, obisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na modwene bɔne wɔ mo koma mu saa?
And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
5 Me Onipa Ba no, mewɔ tumi wɔ asase yi so sɛ mede bɔne kyɛ. Nea ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ den, sɛ obi bɛka se, ‘Mede wo bɔne akyɛ wo’ anaasɛ ɔbɛka se, ‘Sɔre na nantew?’”
For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 Nanso sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na mubehu sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ nti. Ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafo no se, “Sɔre na bobɔw wo kɛtɛ, na kɔ fie efisɛ masa wo yare.”
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy, ) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7 Amono mu hɔ ara, obubuafo no sɔre bobɔw ne kɛtɛ, sii mu kɔɔ ne fi!
And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 Nnipadɔm no huu anwonwade yi no, wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn yiye. Wɔkamfoo Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔde tumi a ɛte saa ama onipa.
But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
9 Yesu fi nea ɔsaa obubuafo no yare hɔ rekɔ no, ohuu ɔbarima towgyeni bi a ɔte atowgyei. Wɔfrɛ saa ɔbarima no Mateo. Yesu huu no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Bedi mʼakyi.” Ɛhɔ ara, Mateo sɔre dii Yesu akyi.
And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
10 Ɛbae sɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafo no kɔɔ Mateo fi kodidii. Wɔredidi no, towgyefo ne nnebɔneyɛfo bebree baa hɔ ne no ne nʼasuafo no too nsa didii.
And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 Farisifo no huu sɛ ɔne nnebɔneyɛfo ato nsa redidi no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ. Wobisaa nʼasuafo no se, “Adɛn nti na mo kyerɛkyerɛfo no de ne ho abɔ nnebɔneyɛfo a wɔte sɛɛ yi?”
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
12 Yesu tee no, obuaa wɔn se, “Nnipa a wɔnyare no, ɔyaresafo ho nhia wɔn, na nnipa a wɔyare no na ɔyaresafo ho hia wɔn.”
But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 Ɔsan kaa bio se, “Monkɔhwehwɛ eyi ase wɔ Kyerɛw Kronkron no mu. Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Ɛnyɛ mo afɔre ne ayɛyɛde na mepɛ, na mmom ahummɔbɔ.’ Mammɛfrɛ atreneefo, na mmom, mebɛfrɛɛ nnebɔneyɛfo sɛ wɔnsakra mmra Onyankopɔn nkyɛn.”
But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
14 Da bi Osuboni Yohane asuafo baa Yesu nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na wʼasuafo no nni mmuada, sɛnea yɛne Farisifo di mmuada no?”
Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mugye di sɛ, sɛ ayeforokunu ne ne nnamfonom te hɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ne nnamfonom no werɛ how, na wobua da ana? Bere bi bɛba a wɔbɛfa me afi wɔn nkyɛn. Saa bere no na wobedi mmuada.
And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
16 “Hena na ɔde ntama foforo bɛtare ntama dedaw mu? Saa ntaremu no besunsuan dedaw no mu ama tokuru kɛse abɛda hɔ.
No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17 Hena na ɔde nsa foforo begu aboa nhoma nsa nkotoku dedaw mu? Sɛ ɔyɛ saa a, nsa no bɛpae nkotoku no ama nsa no ahwie agu, na nkotoku no nso asɛe. Nsa nkotoku foforomu nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsa foforo gugu na amma nkotoku no ne nsa no mu biara ansɛe.”
Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
18 Yesu gu so rekasa no, Yudafo panyin bi ba bɛkotow, sɔree no. Ɔde nʼadesrɛ too Yesu anim se, “Me babea awu mprempren ara. Minim sɛ, sɛ woba de wo nsa bɛka no pɛ a, obenyan.”
While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19 Yesu ne nʼasuafo no ne ɔpanyin no sii mu sɛ wɔrekɔ ɔpanyin no fi.
And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
20 Wɔrekɔ no, ɔbea bi a mogya atu no mfirihyia dumien faa nʼakyi, soo nʼatade ano.
And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 Ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim se, “Sɛ mede me nsa ka no nko ara a, me ho bɛyɛ me den.”
For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 Yesu dan nʼani ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɔbabea, ma wo bo ntɔ wo yam. Wo gyidi agye wo. Wo ho atɔ wo.” Efi saa bere no mu no, ne ho tɔɔ no.
But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
23 Yesu duu ɔpanyin no fi hɔ a ohuu sɛ nkurɔfo no bi resu na ebinom reto ayiase nnwom no,
And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
24 ɔkae se, “Obiara mfi adi. Ababaa no nwui. Wada!” Yesu asɛm a ɔkae yi maa nnipa no serew no.
He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
25 Nnipa no nyinaa fii adi no, Yesu kɔɔ faako a ababaa no da hɔ no. Osoo ne nsa. Prɛko pɛ, ababaa no nyanee.
But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
26 Saa anwonwade a Yesu yɛe yi trɛw wɔ mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa.
And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
27 Yesu fi nea onyan ababaa no hɔ rekɔ no, anifuraefo baanu bi dii nʼakyi teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Dawid ba, hu yɛn mmɔbɔ!”
And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.
28 Yesu duu fie no, anifuraefo no baa ne nkyɛn. Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Mugye di sɛ metumi ama moahu ade?” Wobuaa no se, “Yiw, Awurade, yegye di!”
And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Yesu de ne nsa kaa wɔn ani kae se, “Mo gyidi nyɛ nea mohwehwɛ mma mo!”
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30 Amono mu hɔ ara na wɔn ani buebuei. Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano se, “Monnka saa ayaresa yi ho asɛm nkyerɛ obiara.”
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
31 Nanso nnipa no fii hɔ pɛ na wɔbɔɔ asɛm no dawuru.
But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32 Yesu ne nʼasuafo refi adi no, wɔde mum bi a honhommɔne wɔ ne so brɛɛ no.
As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
33 Yesu tuu honhommɔne no na prɛko pɛ, mum no kasae. Saa honhommɔnetu yi yɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa nwonwa ma wɔkae se, “Yenhuu saa anwonwade yi bi da wɔ Israelman mu ha!”
And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
34 Farisifo no de, wɔkae se, “Ɔbonsam de honhommɔne ahyɛ no ma nti na otumi tu ahonhommɔne no.”
But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
35 Yesu kyinkyinii nkurow so ne nkuraa ase kaa Onyankopɔn Ahenni no ho asɛmpa wɔ wɔn hyiadan mu. Baabiara a ɔkɔe no, ɔkaa asɛmpa no saa nyarewa ahorow bebree.
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 Bere a Yesu huu nnipadɔm no, ne yam hyehyee no maa wɔn efisɛ ohuu sɛ ɔhaw ahorow gu wɔn so a, wonhu nea wɔnyɛ ne nea wɔmfa a wobenya mmoa nso. Wɔte sɛ nguan a wonni ɔhwɛfo.
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Ɛha na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Otwa adwuma no dɔɔso, nanso adwumayɛfo no sua.
Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Enti monsrɛ adwumawura no na ɔmma adwumayɛfo bebree mmra ne twa adwuma no mu.”
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
