Luka 10
1 Yei akyi, Yesu yii nʼakyidifoɔ no mu aduɔson somaa wɔn baanu baanu kɔɔ nkuro ne nkuraa a akyire no ɔbɛkɔ hɔ no so.
After these things, the Lord appointed also seventy others, and sent them two and two before him into every city and place where he himself was about to come.
2 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Otwa adwuma no dɔɔso, nanso adwumayɛfoɔ no sua. Enti, monsrɛ adwumawura no na ɔmma adwumayɛfoɔ bebree mmra ne twa adwuma no mu.
And he said to them, The harvest is great, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers for his harvest.
3 Monkɔ, na meresoma mo sɛ nnwan akɔ mpataku mu.
Go forth; lo! I send you as lambs into the midst of wolves.
4 Mommfa sika, akwantubɔtɔ anaa mpaboa; na monnkyea obiara nso a mobɛhyia no wɔ ɛkwan so.
Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; salute no one by the way.
5 “Sɛ mokɔ efie biara mu a, monni ɛkan nkyea efie hɔfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Asomdwoeɛ nka mo!’
And into whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 Na sɛ asomdwoeɛ ba bi wɔ hɔ a, mo asomdwoeɛ bɛba ne so; na sɛ obi a ɔte saa nni hɔ a, mo asomdwoeɛ bɛsane aba mo nkyɛn.
And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; if not, it shall return to you.
7 Efie biara a mokɔ mu no, momma ɛhɔ nyɛ mo atenaeɛ; aduane biara a wɔde bɛma mo no, monni, ɛfiri sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ odwumayɛfoɔ biara nya nʼadwumayɛ so akatua; monnni atutena wɔ afie mu.
And abide in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
8 “Na sɛ mokɔ kuro biara mu na wɔgye mo fɛw so a, aduane biara a wɔde bɛma mo no, monni.
And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat what is set before you,
9 Monsa kuro no mu ayarefoɔ yadeɛ, na monka nkyerɛ ɛhɔfoɔ nyinaa sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn Ahennie no abɛn mo.’
and heal the sick that are therein, and say to them, The kingdom of God hath come near to you.
10 Nanso, sɛ mokɔ kuro biara mu na wɔannye mo fɛw so a, monkɔ ne mmɔntene so nkɔpae mu nka sɛ,
But into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into its streets and say,
11 ‘Mo kurom ha mfuturo a ɛwɔ yɛn nan ase mpo, yɛreporoporo agu, de atia mo; na mmom monhunu pefee sɛ, Onyankopɔn Ahennie no abɛn.’
Even the dust of your city that cleaveth to our feet we wipe off to you; but know this, that the kingdom of God hath come near.
12 Mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, saa kuro no, asɛm a ɛbɛto wɔn Atemmuo da no bɛsene deɛ ɛtoo Sodom no.
And I tell you, that it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13 “Korasin, due! Betsaida, due! Anwanwadeɛ a meyɛɛ wɔ mo mu no, sɛ meyɛɛ wɔ Tiro ne Sidon a, anka ɛhɔfoɔ no de awerɛhoɔ ne ahonuo asakyera wɔn adwene dada.
Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Atemmuo da no, asɛm a ɛbɛto wɔn no bɛsene deɛ ɛbɛto Tiro ne Sidon.
But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you.
And thou, Capernaum! shalt thou be exalted to heaven? thou shalt be brought down to the underworld. (Hadēs g86)
16 “Obiara a ɔtie mo no tie me, na deɛ ɔpo mo no po me, na deɛ ɔpo me no nso po deɛ ɔsomaa me no.”
He that hearkeneth to you, hearkeneth to me; and he that rejecteth you, rejecteth me; but he that rejecteth me, rejecteth him that sent me.
17 Aduɔson no sane de anigyeɛ baeɛ bɛbɔɔ amaneɛ sɛ, “Awurade, wo din enti, ahonhommɔne mpo abrɛ wɔn ho ase ama yɛn.”
And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in thy name.
18 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mehunuu sɛ ɔbonsam rete afiri ɔsoro sɛ anyinam abɛhwe fam.
And he said to them, I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning.
19 Mama mo tumi ne ahoɔden a mode bɛtiatia awɔ ne anyanyankyerɛ ne ɔtamfoɔ no tumi biara a ɔwɔ so, na biribiara nso rentumi mo.
Lo! I have given you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the might of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20 Nanso mommma mo ani nnye sɛ ahonhommɔne brɛ wɔn ho ase ma mo, na mmom, momma mo ani nnye sɛ wɔatwerɛ mo din wɔ ɔsoro.”
Yet rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject to you; but rejoice that your names have been written in heaven.
21 Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu, Yesu de Honhom Kronkron mu anigyeɛ bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Agya, ɔsoro ne asasewura, meda wo ase sɛ wode saa nneɛma yi ahinta wɔn a wɔsusu sɛ wɔyɛ anyansafoɔ, na mmom woada nokorɛ no adi akyerɛ wɔn a wɔde ahobrɛaseɛ gye wo di sɛ mmɔfra no. Nanso, Agya, wo pɛ mu na woma ɛbaa saa.
In that hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning, thou didst reveal them to babes. Yea, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight. And turning to the disciples he said,
22 “Mʼagya de nneɛma nyinaa ahyɛ me nsa; na obiara nnim Ɔba no, gye Agya no. Saa ara nso na obiara nnim Agya no, gye Ɔba no ne wɔn a Ɔba no bɛda Agya no adi akyerɛ wɔn no.”
All things were delivered to me by my Father; and no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom it is the will of the Son to reveal him.
23 Ɛkaa ɔne nʼasuafoɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Nhyira ne aniwa a ɛhunu deɛ mohunu!
And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye are seeing.
24 Ɛfiri sɛ, adiyifoɔ ne ahene pii pɛɛ sɛ anka wɔhunu deɛ mohunu yi na wɔte deɛ mote yi, nanso wɔanhunu na wɔante.”
For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye are seeing, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye are hearing, and heard them not.
25 Mmaranimfoɔ bi pɛɛ sɛ ɔsɔ Yesu hwɛ enti ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, menyɛ dɛn na manya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ?” (aiōnios g166)
And lo! a certain lawyer stood up to try him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit everlasting life? (aiōnios g166)
26 Yesu nso bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wɔatwerɛ wɔ Mose mmara no mu? Na wote aseɛ sɛn?”
And he said to him, What is written in the Law? How readest thou?
27 Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Mmara no ka sɛ, ‘Fa wʼakoma, ne wo kra, ne wʼahoɔden, ne wʼadwene nyinaa dɔ Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, na dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho!’”
And he answering said “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself.”
28 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Woabua no yie. Yɛ yeinom na wobɛnya nkwa.”
And he said to him, Thou hast answered rightly; do this, and thou shalt live.
29 Nanso, ɔbarima no pɛɛ sɛ ɔkyerɛ sɛ ɔdi mmara no nyinaa so enti, ɔbisaa Yesu sɛ, “Hwan ne me yɔnko?”
But he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor?
30 Yesu nso maa no mfatoho bi sɛ, “Ɛda bi na ɔbarima bi retu ɛkwan firi Yerusalem akɔ Yeriko. Na ɔnam ɛkwan so no, ɔkɔtɔɔ akwanmukafoɔ mu na wɔgyee ne ho nneɛma nyinaa, hwee no, pirapiraa no ma ɔtɔɔ baha, gyaa no too kwankyɛn kɔeɛ.
Jesus answering said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers; who after stripping him of his raiment, and wounding him, departed, leaving him half dead.
31 Ankyɛre biara, Yudani ɔsɔfoɔ bi bɛpuee ne so, nanso ɔmane faa nkyɛn kɔeɛ.
And by chance a certain priest was going down on that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 Saa ara nso na Lewini bi nso bɛpuee ne so mane faa nkyɛn.
And in like manner also a Levite, having arrived at the place, came and saw, and passed by on the other side.
33 Ankyɛre biara na Samariani bi nso bɛpuee hɔ. Ɔhunuu no no, ɔyɛɛ no mmɔbɔ.
But a certain Samaritan, as he was journeying, came where he was, and when he saw him, had compassion,
34 Ɔkɔkotoo ne nkyɛn, hohoroo nʼapirakuro no anim, de aduro guguu mu, kyekyereeɛ. Afei, ɔmaa no so de no tenaa nʼafunumu so dii aboa no nkyɛn de no kɔɔ ahɔhobea bi hwɛɛ no anadwo mu no nyinaa.
and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and setting him on his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, ɔgyaa ahɔhobea sohwɛfoɔ no sika a ɛbɛso no hwɛ sɛ ɔmfa nhwɛ no. Ɔsane hyɛɛ no bɔ sɛ, ‘Ɛka foforɔ biara a wobɛbɔ wɔ ne ho no, mɛba abɛtua.’
And the next day, he took out two denaries and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatever thou spendest more, I, when I come back, will repay thee.
36 “Afei, saa nnipa baasa yi mu hwan na ɔyɛɛ ne yɔnko?”
Which of these three, dost thou think, was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?
37 Mmaranimfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Deɛ ɔhunuu opirafoɔ no mmɔbɔ no.” Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo nso, kɔ na kɔyɛ saa ara.”
And he said, He that took pity on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do thou likewise.
38 Ɛbaa sɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ rekɔ Yerusalem no, wɔkɔduruu akuraa bi ase. Wɔduruu hɔ no, ɔbaa bi a wɔfrɛ no Marta de no kɔɔ ne fie.
And it came to pass, as they journeyed, that he entered into a certain village; and a certain woman, named Martha, received him into her house.
39 Marta nuabaa bi a wɔfrɛ no Maria tenaa fam wɔ Yesu nkyɛn tiee no.
And she had a sister called Mary, who sat down at the feet of the Lord, and listened to his word.
40 Saa ɛberɛ no, Marta a nʼani abere reyɛ aduane no baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade, mayɛ adwuma abrɛ enti ka kyerɛ Maria na ɔmmɛsɔ me mu.”
But Martha was cumbered about much serving; and she came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Tell her therefore to help me.
41 Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Marta, Marta, wodwennwene ha wo ho wɔ nneɛma pii ho.
But the Lord answering said to her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and troubled about many things.
42 Adeɛ baako pɛ na ɛhia; ɛno na Maria afa no; na wɔrennye mfiri ne nsam.”
But one thing is needful. For Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
