< Yohane 12 >
1 Aka nna nsia na Twam Afahyɛ no aduru no, Yesu kɔɔ Betania, kuro a na Lasaro a Yesu nyanee no firi awufoɔ mu no te mu no mu.
Therefore Jesus before six days the Passover came to Bethany, where was Lazarus (who having died *KO*) whom raised out from [the] dead (*o*) (Jesus. *NO*)
2 Wɔtoo Yesu ɛpono. Marta na ɔsomee wɔ saa apontoɔ yi ase. Lasaro tenaa Yesu nkyɛn pɛɛ wɔ ɛpono no ho.
They made therefore for Him a supper there, and Martha was serving; and Lazarus one was (of *no*) those (reclining *N(K)O*) (with *N(k)O*) Him.
3 Wɔredidi no, Maria faa ngohwam bi a ne boɔ yɛ den bɛhwie guu Yesu nan ase de ne tirinwi pepaeɛ. Ngo no hwa gyee efie hɔ nyinaa.
Therefore Mary having taken a litra of fragrant oil of nard pure of great price anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped with the hair of her the feet of Him; the now house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
4 Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ asuafoɔ no mu baako a akyire no ɔbɛyi Yesu ama no ani annye deɛ ɔbaa yi yɛeɛ no ho,
Says (however *N(k)O*) Judas (of Simon *K*) (*no*) Iscariot one of the disciples of Him, who is being about Him to betray;
5 enti ɔkaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wantɔn saa ngohwam yi na yɛamfa sika no amma ahiafoɔ?”
Because of why this fragrant oil not was sold for three hundred denarii and given to [the] poor?
6 Ɛnyɛ sɛ na ɔdwene ahiafoɔ ho enti na ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, na mmom, na ɔyɛ ɔkorɔmfoɔ na ɛsiane sɛ na ɔhwɛ asuafoɔ no sika so enti, na ɔwiawia bi.
He said however this not because for the poor he was caring to him, but because a thief he was and the money bag (having *N(k)O*) (and *k*) that being put into [it] he was pilfering.
7 Yesu kaa sɛ, “Monnyaa ɔbaa yi haw! Deɛ ɔbaa yi ayɛ yi, ɔde resiesie me ama me wuo.
Said therefore Jesus; do leave alone her, (so that *NO*) for the day of the burial of Mine (she may keep *N(k)O*) it;
8 Mo ne ahiafoɔ na ɛwɔ hɔ ɛberɛ biara, na me deɛ, me ne mo rentena hɔ daa.”
the poor for always you have with yourselves, Me myself however not always you have.
9 Ɛberɛ a Yudafoɔ no tee sɛ Yesu wɔ Betania no, wɔn mu pii kɔɔ hɔ. Ɛnyɛ Yesu nko enti na wɔkɔɔ hɔ, na mmom, wɔkɔɔ hɔ sɛ wɔrekɔhwɛ Lasaro a Yesu nyanee no firii awufoɔ mu no nso.
Knew therefore (*no*) a crowd great of the Jews that there He is, and they came not because of Jesus only but that also Lazarus they may see whom He had raised out from [the] dead.
10 Afei, asɔfoɔ mpanin no bɔɔ pɔ sɛ wɔbɛkum Lasaro nso,
Took counsel however the chief priests that also Lazarus they may kill,
11 ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsiane Lasaro wusɔreɛ no enti, na nnipa bebree retwe wɔn ho afiri Yudafoɔ mpanin no ho abɛdi Yesu akyi.
because many on account of him were going away of the Jews and were believing in Jesus.
12 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, nnipadɔm a wɔaba Twam Afahyɛ no tee sɛ Yesu reba Yerusalem no,
On the next day (the *no*) crowd great having come to the feast, having heard that is coming Jesus into Jerusalem,
13 wɔbubuu ɛberɛ de kɔhyiaa no ɛkwan de ahurisie teateaam sɛ, “Hosiana!” “Nhyira nka deɛ ɔreba wɔ Awurade din mu no!” “Nhyira nka Israelhene!”
took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him and (were shouting: *N(k)O*) Hosanna! Blessed [is] the [One] coming in [the] name of [the] Lord! (And *no*) the King of Israel!
14 Yesu rekɔ no, na ɔte afunumu ba bi so sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm hyɛɛ ho nkɔm sɛ,
Having found then Jesus a young donkey He sat upon it, even as it is written:
15 “Nsuro, Ɔbabaa Sion! Hwɛ sɛ wo ɔhene te afunumu ba so reba wo nkyɛn.”
Not do fear daughter of Zion; Behold the King of you comes sitting on a colt of a donkey.
16 Ahyɛaseɛ no, asuafoɔ no ante yeinom nyinaa ase kɔsii sɛ wɔhyɛɛ Yesu animuonyam no ansa na wɔrekae sɛ, Atwerɛsɛm no aka saa asɛm yi nyinaa afa ne ho dada, na ɛno ara ne deɛ wɔayɛ no.
These things (now *k*) not knew of Him the disciples from the first, but when was glorified (*k*) Jesus, then they remembered that these things were about Him written and these things they had done to Him.
17 Nnipa a na wɔwɔ hɔ a wɔhunu sɛ Yesu nyanee Lasaro firii awufoɔ mu no kaa asɛm a ɛsii no kyerɛɛ afoforɔ.
was bearing witness therefore the crowd which is being with Him when Lazarus He called out of the tomb and raised him out from [the] dead.
18 Yei enti na nnipa bebree kɔeɛ sɛ wɔrekɔhyia Yesu ɛkwan no, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔate sɛ wayɛ anwanwadeɛ.
On account of this also met with Him the crowd, because (they heard *N(k)O*) this of His to have done the sign.
19 Farisifoɔ no hunuu deɛ ɛrekɔ so no, wɔkaa sɛ, “Anyɛ yie! Monhwɛ sɛ nnipa no nyinaa atu adi nʼakyi!”
Therefore the Pharisees said among themselves; You see that not you gain no [thing]? Behold the world (wholly *O*) after Him has gone.
20 Afahyɛberɛ no mu no, Helafoɔ bi nso kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔrekɔsom.
There were now Greeks certain among those coming up that they may worship at the feast.
21 Wɔkɔɔ Filipo a ɔfiri Betsaida no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛhunu Yesu.”
these therefore came to Philip who was from Bethsaida of Galilee and they were asking him saying; Sir, we desire Jesus to see.
22 Filipo kɔbɔɔ Andrea amaneɛ maa wɔn baanu kɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu.
Comes (*no*) Philip and tells Andrew, (and again *k*) (come *no*) Andrew and Philip (and *no*) they tell Jesus.
23 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛberɛ no aso sɛ wɔbɛhyɛ Onipa Ba no animuonyam.
And Jesus (answered *N(k)O*) to them saying; Has come the hour that may be glorified the Son of Man.
24 Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, sɛ wɔamfa burofua anhyɛ fam amma amporɔ na amfifiri a, ɛda so yɛ burofua no ara, nanso sɛ ɛporɔ na ɛfifiri a, ɛso aba pii.
Amen Amen I say to you; only unless the grain of wheat having fallen into the ground shall die, it alone abides; if however it shall die, much fruit it bears.
25 Obiara a ɔdɔ ne kra no bɛhwere ne nkwa, na deɛ ɔnnɔ ne kra no ɔbɛnya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ. (aiōnios )
The [one] loving the life of him (loses *N(k)O*) it, and the [one] hating the life of him in world this to life eternal will keep it. (aiōnios )
26 Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsom me no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdi mʼakyi, na baabiara a mewɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ mʼasomfoɔ nso wɔ hɔ bi.”
If Me myself anyone shall serve Me myself he should follow; and where am I myself, there also the servant of Mine will be. (and *k*) If anyone Me myself shall serve, will honor him the Father.
27 Yesu kaa sɛ, “Afei deɛ, me kra ho yera no na asɛm bɛn na menka? Menka sɛ, ‘Agya, gye me firi saa amanehunu yi mu anaa?’ Nanso, yei enti na wosomaa me baa ewiase sɛ memmɛhunu amane.
Now the soul of Mine has been troubled, and what shall I say? Father, do save Me from hour this.’? But on account of this I came to hour this.
28 Agya, hyɛ wo din animuonyam!” Ɔkasa wieeɛ no, nne bi firi ɔsoro kaa sɛ, “Mahyɛ no animuonyam dada na mɛsane mahyɛ no bio.”
Father, do glorify of You the name. Came therefore a voice from heaven: Both I have glorified [it] and again I will glorify [it].
29 Nnipakuo a na wɔwɔ hɔ no tee nne no, wɔkaa sɛ aprannaa na ɛrebobɔ mu. Ebinom nso kaa sɛ, ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ no.
Therefore the crowd which already standing and having heard [it] it was saying [it] Thunder to have been. Others were saying; An angel to Him has spoken.
30 Nanso, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo enti na saa nne yi kasaeɛ na ɛnyɛ me enti.
Answered (*k*) Jesus and said: Not because of Me myself voice this has come but because of you.
31 Afei, ɛberɛ aduru sɛ wɔbu ewiase atɛn na wɔtu ɔbonsam a ɔdi ewiase so no gu.
Now [the] judgment is of the world of this; now the prince of the world this will be cast out,
32 Sɛ wɔnya ma me so firi asase mu a, mɛtwe nnipa nyinaa aba me nkyɛn.”
And I myself And I myself (if *NK(o)*) I shall be lifted up from the earth, all will draw to Myself.
33 Ɔkaa yei de kyerɛɛ owuo ko a ɔbɛwu no.
This now He was saying signifying by what death He was about to die.
34 Nnipa no kaa sɛ, “Atwerɛsɛm no di adanseɛ sɛ, Agyenkwa no renwu da. Adɛn enti na wɔka kyerɛ yɛn sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma Onipa Ba no so? Hwan ne saa Onipa Ba no?” (aiōn )
Answered (therefore *NO*) to Him the crowd; We ourselves heard from the law that the Christ abides to the age, and how say you yourself that it behooves to be lifted up the Son of Man? Who is this Son of Man? (aiōn )
35 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Me hann no bɛhyerɛn ama mo mmerɛ tiawa bi mu. Ɛno enti, monnante mu ɛberɛ a mowɔ saa hann no mu yi nkɔ baabiara a mopɛ sɛ mokɔ, ansa na esum aduru; anyɛ saa a morenhunu kwan.
Said therefore to them Jesus; Yet a little while the light (among you *N(k)O*) is. do walk (while *N(k)O*) the light you have, so that not darkness you may grasp; And the [one] walking in the darkness not knows where he is going.
36 Ɛberɛ a mowɔ hann mu yi, monnye hann no nni na moayɛ hann no mma.” Yesu kaa nsɛm yi wieeɛ no, ɔfirii hɔ de ne ho kɔhintaeɛ.
(While *N(k)O*) the light you have, do believe in the light, so that sons of light you may become. These things spoke (*k*) Jesus, and having gone away He was hidden from them.
37 Ɛwom sɛ na Yesu ayɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ ama Yudafoɔ no ahunu deɛ, nanso na wɔnnye no nni ara.
So many however of Him signs having been done before them not they were believing in Him,
38 Yei ne Odiyifoɔ Yesaia asɛm a ɔkaa sɛ, “Awurade, hwan na wagye yɛn asɛnka adi? Na hwan nso na ɔbɛgye wʼanwanwadwuma no adi sɛ adansedie?”
so that the word of Isaiah the prophet may be fulfilled that said: Lord, who has believed in the report of us? And the arm of [the] Lord to whom has been revealed?
39 Yudafoɔ no annye anni ɛfiri sɛ, na Odiyifoɔ Yesaia asane aka sɛ,
Because of this not they were able to believe, for again said Isaiah:
40 “Onyankopɔn afira wɔn ani, na wapirim wɔn akoma, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔrentumi nnane mma me nkyɛn na masa wɔn yadeɛ.”
He has blinded of them the eyes and (has hardened *N(k)O*) of them the heart, that not they may see with the eyes and may understand with the heart and (may turn *N(k)O*) and (I will heal *N(k)O*) them.
41 Yesaia kaa yei faa Yesu animuonyam a daakye ɔbɛnya a Onyankopɔn yi kyerɛɛ no no ho.
These things said Isaiah (because *N(K)O*) he saw the glory of Him and spoke concerning Him.
42 Mpo, na Yudafoɔ mpanin no mu pii gye Yesu di, nanso na wɔsuro sɛ, sɛ Farisifoɔ no hunu wɔn a, wɔremma wɔmma asɔredan no mu bio.
Nevertheless indeed even of the rulers many believed in Him, but on account of the Pharisees not they were confessing, so that not put out of the synagogue they may be.
43 Na wɔpɛ sɛ nnipa bɛkamfo wɔn sene sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛhyɛ wɔn animuonyam.
they loved for the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 Yesu teaam sɛ, “Obiara a ɔgye me di no, ɛnyɛ me nko na ɔgye me di, na ɔgye deɛ ɔsomaa me no nso di.
Jesus then cried out and said; The [one] believing in Me myself not he believes in Me myself but in the [One] having sent Me;
45 Na deɛ ɔhunu me no hunu deɛ ɔsomaa me no nso.
and the [one] beholding Me myself he beholds the [One] having sent Me.
46 Maba ewiase sɛ hann, na obiara a ɔgye me di no ankɔ so antena sum mu.
I myself a light into the world have come, so that everyone who is believing in Me myself in the darkness not may abide.
47 “Obiara a ɔte mʼasɛm na ɔnni so no, meremmu no atɛn. Ɛfiri sɛ, mamma sɛ merebɛbu nnipa atɛn, na mmom, mebaeɛ sɛ merebɛgye wɔn nkwa.
And if anyone My shall hear declarations and not (shall keep [them], *N(k)O*) I myself not do judge him; not for I came that I may judge the world but that I may save the world.
48 Obiara a ɔpo me na ɔnnye mʼasɛm nni no, ɔtemmufoɔ bi wɔ hɔ a ɔbɛbu no atɛn. Me nsɛm a maka akyerɛ mo no na Atemmuo da no ɛbɛbu mo atɛn.
The [one] rejecting Me myself and not receiving the declarations of Mine has [one] judging him: The word which I spoke, that [one] will judge him in the last day.
49 Nsɛm a maka no nyinaa, ɛnyɛ mʼankasa mʼadwene na mede ka kyerɛɛ mo, na mmom ɛyɛ deɛ Agya no ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ menka nkyerɛ mo no.
For I myself from Myself not spoke, but the having sent Me Father Himself Me a commandment (has given *N(k)O*) what I may say and what I may speak.
50 Menim sɛ asɛm biara a Agya no ahyɛ me sɛ menka no de nnipa kɔ nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ mu; enti asɛm a ɔbɛka akyerɛ me sɛ menka biara no, ɛno na meka!” (aiōnios )
And I know that the commandment of Him life eternal is. What therefore I myself speak even as has said to Me the Father, so I speak. (aiōnios )
