Luka 12
1 Nnipa mpempem kyeree so a wɔnnya baabi ntu wɔn nan nsi mpo no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no kane sɛ, “Monhwɛ mo ho so yie wɔ Farisifoɔ nyaatwom a ɛte sɛ mmɔreka no ho.
In these [times] when were gathering the myriads of the crowd so as to trample upon one another He began to say to the disciples of Him first; do take heed to yourselves of the leaven which is hypocrisy of the Pharisees.
2 Biribiara a wɔyɛ no kɔkoam no bɛda adi na deɛ ahinta no nso bɛpue.
No [thing] now concealed is which not will be revealed, nor hidden which not will be known.
3 Enti, deɛ moaka wɔ sum mu no, wɔbɛte wɔ hann mu. Na deɛ moaka no asomusɛm wɔ adan mu no, wɔbɛbɔ no dawuro.
Instead that as much as in the darkness you have said in the light will be heard, and what into the ear you have spoken in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 “Me nnamfonom, mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, monnsuro wɔn a wɔkum onipadua na ɛno akyi wɔntumi nyɛ hwee bio no.
I say now to you those friends of Mine; not you may fear because of those killing the body and after these things not being able more excessive anything to do.
5 Na mɛkyerɛ mo deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mosuro no. Monsuro deɛ wakum onipadua no awie no, ɔwɔ tumi sɛ ɔto twene amanehunu kurom. Mereti mu akyerɛ mo sɛ, yei na monsuro no. (Geenna g1067)
I will show however you whom you may fear: do fear the [One who] after the killing has authority to cast into hell. Yes I say to you; Him do fear. (Geenna g1067)
6 Wɔntɔn akasanoma enum nnye sika bi pɛ? Nanso, Onyankopɔn werɛ remfi wɔn mu baako po da.
Surely five sparrows (are being sold for *N(k)O*) assarion two? And one of them not is forgotten before God;
7 Mo tirinwi mpo, wɔakan ne nyinaa. Enti, monnsuro, ɛfiri sɛ, mosom bo sene akasanoma dodo biara.
But even the hairs of the head of you all have been numbered. Not (therefore *K*) do fear; than many sparrows you are more valuable.
8 “Na mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, obiara a ɔbɛbɔ me din wɔ nnipa anim no, Kristo no nso bɛbɔ ne din wɔ Onyankopɔn abɔfoɔ anim.
I say now to you; everyone who maybe (may confess *NK(o)*) in Me myself before the men, also the Son of Man will confess in him before the angels of God;
9 Na deɛ ɔbɛpa me nnipa anim no, me nso mɛpa no, Onyankopɔn abɔfoɔ anim.
the [one] now having denied Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
10 Obiara a ɔbɛkasa atia Kristo no, wɔde bɛkyɛ no. Nanso deɛ ɔbɛkasa atia Honhom Kronkron no deɛ, wɔremfa nkyɛ no da.
And everyone who will speak a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him; to the [one] however [who] against the Holy Spirit having blasphemed not will be forgiven.
11 “Sɛ wɔde mo ba mpanin anim wɔ hyia adan mu a, monnnwennwene nsɛm a mobɛka anaasɛ deɛ mode bɛyi mo ho ano no ho,
When then (they may bring in *N(k)O*) you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, not (may be anxious *N(k)O*) how or what you may present a defense or what you may say;
12 Ɛfiri sɛ, saa ɛberɛ no ara mu Honhom Kronkron no bɛkyerɛ mo deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ moka.”
the for Holy Spirit will teach you in same the hour what it behooves [you] to say.
13 Obi firi nnipa no mu ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, ka kyerɛ me nua na ɔne me nkyɛ agyapadeɛ a yɛn agya de agya yɛn no mu.”
Said then one from the crowd to Him: Teacher, do say to the brother of mine to divide with me the inheritance.
14 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Damfo, hwan na ɔyɛɛ me mo so ɔtemmufoɔ ne ɔsɛnnifoɔ?”
And He said to him; Man, who Me appointed (a judge *N(k)O*) or partitioner over you?
15 Ɔtoaa so sɛ, “Monhwɛ mo ho yie wɔ adifudepɛ ho, ɛfiri sɛ, onipa nkwa nnyina nʼahonya dodoɔ a ɔwɔ so.”
He said then to them; do watch and do keep yourselves from (all *N(k)O*) covetousness, for not in the abounding to anyone the life (to him *NK(o)*) is of the possessions (of him. *N(k)O*)
16 Afei, ɔbuu wɔn bɛ yi sɛ, “Ɔdefoɔ bi wɔ hɔ a na ɔwɔ asase pa a ɛmaa no nnɔbaeɛ pii.
He spoke then a parable to them saying; Of a man certain rich brought forth abundantly the ground.
17 Esiane sɛ na ne nnɔbaeɛ no nkɔ pata a wabɔ no so enti, ɛyɛɛ no dadwene ma ɔbisaa ne ho sɛ, ‘Mennya baabi a mede me nnɔbaeɛ bebrebe yi bɛgu yi, menyɛ no dɛn?’
And he was reasoning within himself saying; What shall I do for not I have where I will store up the fruits of mine?
18 “Afei, ɔkaa sɛ, ‘Monim deɛ mɛyɛ. Mɛbubu mʼapata yi nyinaa na mabɔ no akɛseɛ de deɛ mewɔ nyinaa asie hɔ.
And he said; This will I do: I will tear down my barns and greater will build and will store up there all (the grain *N(k)O*) (of mine *k*) and the goods of mine
19 Na maka akyerɛ me kra sɛ, “Ɔkra, ma wʼani nnye na didi, na nom ɛfiri sɛ, wowɔ nneɛma pa pii a ɛbɛso wo mfeɛ bebree!”’
And I will say to the soul of mine; Soul, you have many good things laid up for years many. do rest yourself do eat, do drink, do be merry.
20 “Nanso, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Ɔkwasea! Anadwo yi, wɔbɛgye wo kra afiri wo nsam, na hwan na nneɛma bebree a woapɛ agu hɔ yi, wode bɛgya no?’
Said then to him God; Fool! On this night the soul of you (is required *NK(o)*) of you. what now you did prepare — to whom will [it] be?
21 “Ɛno enti, saa ara na obiara a ɔbɛboaboa agyapadeɛ ano de ne ho ato so no nyɛ ɔdefoɔ Onyankopɔn anim ne no.”
So [is] the [one] treasuring up for himself and not toward God being rich.
22 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Monnnwennwene deɛ mobɛdi anaa deɛ mobɛfira ho.
He said then to the disciples of Him; Because of this I say to you: not do be anxious for the life (of you *k*) what you may eat, nor [be anxious] for the body (of you *o*) what you may put on.
23 Ɔkra som bo sene aduane na onipadua nso som bo sene ntoma.
The (for *no*) life more is than the food, and the body than the clothing.
24 Monhwɛ kwaakwaadabi, wɔnnua aba ɛnna wɔntwa. Saa ara nso na wɔnni pata a wɔde wɔn nnɔbaeɛ sie so, nanso Onyankopɔn ma wɔn aduane di. Monsom bo nsene wɔn anaa?
do consider the ravens that not they sow nor they reap to them not there is a storehouse nor [is] barn — and God feeds them; How much more you yourselves are valuable than the birds?
25 Mo mu hwan na adwene a ɔdwen no bɛtumi ato ne nkwa nna so simasin?
Which now of you being anxious is able to the lifespan of him to add hour (one? *ko*)
26 Na sɛ montumi nyɛ ade ketewaa a ɛte sei mpo a, adɛn na modwennwene nneɛma akɛseɛ ho?
If then (not even *N(k)O*) [the] least you are able [to do], why about the rest are you anxious?
27 “Monhwɛ sɛdeɛ sukooko nyini. Wɔnyɛ adwuma, ɛnna wɔnnwono ntoma mfira. Nanso, Salomo ahonya nyinaa mu, na ɔnni ntoma a ɛyɛ fɛ sɛ saa nhwiren no mu baako mpo.
do consider the lilies how they grow: Not do they labor nor do they spin. I say however to you; not even Solomon in all the glory of him was arrayed as one of these.
28 Mo a mo gyidie hinhim, sɛ Onyankopɔn siesie wiram nhwiren a ɛfifiri ɛnnɛ na ɔkyena awu no ho ma ɛyɛ fɛ a, adɛn enti na ɔrensiesie mo nso mo ho mma ɛnyɛ fɛ.
If however in [the] (*ko*) field the grass being [here] today and tomorrow into [the] furnace being thrown God thus (dresses, *N(k)O*) how much more you, O [you] of little faith?
29 Saa ara nso na monnnwennwene deɛ mobɛdi anaa deɛ mobɛnom ho.
And you yourselves not do seek what you may eat (and *N(k)O*) what you may drink, and not do worry yourself.
30 Saa nneɛma yi na ewiase amanaman pere hwehwɛ, nanso mo deɛ, mo agya nim sɛ yeinom nyinaa ho hia mo.
these things for all the nations of the world (seek for; *N(k)O*) of you now the Father knows that you have need of these.
31 Enti, monhwehwɛ Onyankopɔn Ahennie kane na ɔde yeinom nyinaa bɛma mo.
But do seek the kingdom (*k*) (of Him *N(K)O*) and these things (all things *K*) will be added to you.
32 “Ekuo ketewa, monnsuro, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ mo agya no pɛ sɛ ɔde ahennie no bɛma mo.
Not do fear, O little flock, for took delight the Father of you to give you the kingdom.
33 Montontɔn mo ahodeɛ na monkyɛ ahiafoɔ adeɛ. Yei bɛma mo agyapadeɛ a ɛwɔ ɔsoro no ayɛ pii. Monhyehyɛ mo agyapadeɛ wɔ ɔsoro, deɛ owifoɔ ntumi nkɔwia na ntɛferɛ ntumi nkɔwe.
do sell the possessions of you and do give alms; do make to yourselves purses not growing old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens where thief not does draw near nor moth destroy;
34 Na deɛ wʼagyapadeɛ wɔ no, ɛhɔ na wʼakoma nso wɔ.”
Where for is the treasure of you, there also the heart of you will be.
35 “Monnyina pintinn na momma mo nkanea nhyerɛn,
should be your waist girded and the lamps burning,
36 na monyɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔretwɛn wɔn wura a ɔkɔ ayeforɔhyia ase a, sɛ ɔba na ɔbɔ ɛpono mu pɛ a, wɔbɛbue no ntɛm no.
and you yourselves like to men waiting for the master of themselves whenever (he may return *N(k)O*) from the wedding feasts, that having come and having knocked immediately they may open to him.
37 Wɔn a wɔn wura no ba a ɔbɛba abɛto wɔn sɛ wɔretwɛn no no ani bɛgye. Ɔbɛto wɔn ɛpono na ɔno ankasa asom wɔn.
Blessed [are] the servants those whom having come the master will find watching; Amen I say to you that he will gird himself and he will make recline them, and having come up he will serve them.
38 Sɛ ɔba dasuo mu anaa ahemadakye mpo a, asomfoɔ a ɔbɛba abɛto wɔn sɛ wɔrewɛn no no ani bɛgye.
And if And if (he may come *k*) in the second (watch *k*) (and if and if *N(k)O*) in the third watch he may come and he may find [them] thus, blessed are (*ko*) (servants *KO*) those!
39 Ɛsɛ sɛ mohunu sɛ, sɛ efiewura nim ɛberɛ a owifoɔ bɛba a, anka ɔbɛwɛn na owifoɔ no annya ne ho ɛkwan ammɛbɔ no korɔno.
This however do know that if had known the master of the house in what hour the thief is coming, not (he watched *KO*) (maybe *K*) (and *KO*) maybe he have allowed (to be broken into *N(k)O*) the house of him.
40 Enti, monsiesie mo ho ntwɛn Onipa Ba no ba a ɔbɛba no, ɛfiri sɛ, monnim ɛberɛ ko a ɔbɛba.”
Also you yourselves (therefore *K*) do be ready, for in the hour not you expect the Son of Man comes.
41 Petro bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, worebu bɛ yi akyerɛ yɛn nko ara anaasɛ obiara?”
Said then (to him *k*) Peter; Lord, to us parable this speak You or also to all?
42 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Merekasa akyerɛ ɔsomfoɔ nokwafoɔ nyansafoɔ biara a ne wura de ne efie sohwɛ bɛhyɛ ne nsa na wahwɛ ama obiara aduane wɔ ne berɛ mu.
(And *no*) said (now *k*) the Lord; Who then is the faithful manager (the *N(k)O*) wise whom will set the master over the care [of servants] of him to give [them] in season the measure of food?
43 Nhyira ne ɔsomfoɔ a ne wura no bɛba abɛto no sɛ wayɛ nʼadwuma pɛpɛɛpɛ.
Blessed [is] the servant that [one] whom having come the master of him will find doing thus.
44 Nokorɛm, ɔde nʼagyapadeɛ nyinaa bɛhyɛ ne nsa.
Of a truth I say to you that over all the possessions of him he will set him.
45 Na sɛ ɛba sɛ saa ɔsomfoɔ yi nso ka sɛ, ‘Me wura nnya mmaeɛ’ na ɛno enti, ɔhwe asomfoɔ a aka no, na ɔdidi, nom nsã bo a,
If however shall say the servant that [one] in the heart of him; Delays the master of Me to come, and shall begin to beat the men-servants and the maid-servants to eat also and to drink and to get drunk,
46 ne wura no bɛba da a nʼani nna so sɛ ɔbɛba. Na sɛ ne wura no ba a, ɔbɛtwe nʼaso denden na wabu no sɛ obi a ɔnnye Onyankopɔn nni.
will come the master of the servant that [one] in a day in which not he does expect and in an hour that not he knows and he will cut in two him and the place of him with the unbelievers will appoint.
47 “Ɔsomfoɔ a ɔnim deɛ ne wura pɛ, na wanyɛ ne wura no apɛdeɛ no wɔbɛbɔ no mmaa pii.
That [very] now servant the [one] having known the will of the master (of him *N(k)O*) and not having prepared (or *N(k)O*) having done according to the will of him will be beaten with many [blows].
48 Na ɔsomfoɔ a ɔnnim deɛ ne wura pɛ na enti ɔyɛɛ deɛ ne wura mpɛ no, wɔbɛbɔ no mmaa kakraa bi. Na obiara a wɔama no pii no, wɔbɛbisa pii afiri ne nkyɛn; na deɛ wɔde bebree ahyɛ ne nsa no, ɔbɛbu bebree ho nkonta.”
the [one] however not having known having done however [things] worthy of stripes will be beaten with few. Everyone now to whom has been given much, much will be required from him; and to whom has been committed much, more excessive will they ask of him.
49 “Maba sɛ merebɛsɔ ogya wɔ asase so na sɛ asɔ dada a, na deɛ merehwehwɛ ara ne no.
Fire I came to cast (upon *N(k)O*) the earth and how I wish if already it be kindled!
50 Asubɔ bi wɔ hɔ a wɔde bɛbɔ me a, ɛde me bɛkɔ amanehunu mu, na merennya ahotɔ gye sɛ wɔabɔ me saa asu no ansa.
Baptism however I have to be baptized [with] and how I am distressed until (while *N(k)O*) it may be accomplished!
51 Mosusu sɛ mebaeɛ sɛ mede asomdwoeɛ reba asase yi so? Dabi! Ɛnyɛ asomdwoeɛ na mede baeɛ na mmom mpaapaemu.
Think you that peace I came to give on the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division.
52 Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, mpaapaemu bɛba afie mu, baasa bɛba mʼafa na baanu atia me anaasɛ baanu bɛba mʼafa na baasa atia me.
There will be for from now five in one house divided, three against two and two against three
53 Agya ne ne babarima renyɛ adwene, ɔbabaa ne ne maame renyɛ adwene, ase ne ase adwene renhyia.”
(They will be divided *N(k)O*) father against son and son against father, mother against (*no*) (daughter *N(k)O*) and daughter against (*no*) (mother, *N(k)O*) mother-in-law against the daughter-in-law of her and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law (of her. *k*)
54 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipakuo no nso sɛ, “Sɛ mohunu sɛ osuo amuna wɔ atɔeɛ a, ntɛm ara, moka sɛ, ‘Osuo bɛtɔ!’ Na osuo tɔ ampa.
He was saying now also to the crowds; When you may see a cloud rising up (from *N(k)O*) [the] west, immediately you say (that *no*) A shower is coming, and it happens so.
55 Saa ara nso na sɛ mohunu sɛ mframa bɔ firi anafoɔ reba a, moka sɛ, ‘Ahuhuro bɛba!’ Na ɛba mu ampa.
And when a south wind is blowing, you say that Heat there will be, and it happens.
56 Mo nyaatwomfoɔ! Motumi kyerɛ ewiem nsakraeɛ ase, nanso nneɛma a ɛnnɛ yi atwa mo ho ahyia, ne deɛ ɛbɔ mo kɔkɔ no deɛ, monhunu.
Hypocrites! The appearance of the earth and of the sky you know [how] to discern, the time however this how not (do you know *no*) (to discern? *N(k)O*)
57 “Adɛn enti na monim deɛ ɛyɛ na monyɛ?
Why now even for yourselves not judge you what [is] right?
58 Sɛ wode obi ka a, bɔ mmɔden kɔhunu no na wone no nka ho asɛm na wamfa wo ankɔ asɛnniiɛ amma ɔtemmufoɔ amfa wo anto afiase.
As for you are going with the adversary of you before a magistrate, in the way do give earnestness to have been set free from him otherwise otherwise he may drag away you to the judge, and the judge you (will deliver *N(k)O*) to the officer, and the officer you (will cast *N(k)(o)*) into prison.
59 Sɛ woanyɛ no saa a, ɔbɛma woatua ka a wode no no nyinaa ansa na wagyaa wo.”
I say to you; certainly not shall you come out from there until (of which *k*) even (the *N(k)O*) last lepton you may have paid.
