Luka 17

1 Ɛda bi Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ dɛn ara a sɔhwɛ a ɛde onipa kɔ bɔne mu no bɛba, nanso onipa a ɛnam ne so bɛba no, ɔnnue.

THEN said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

2 Ɛyɛ ma saa onipa no sɛ wɔde ɛboɔ a emu yɛ duru bi bɛsɛn ne kɔn mu ato no atwene ɛpo mu sene sɛ ɔbɛto nkumaa yi mu baako suntidua ama wayɛ bɔne.

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

3 Enti, monhwɛ mo ho so yie. “Sɛ wo nua fom wo a, ka nʼanim na sɛ ɔnu ne ho a, fa ne bɔne kyɛ no.

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4 Sɛ nso ɔfom wo mprɛnson da koro na mpɛn dodoɔ a ɔfom wo no nyinaa, ɔde ahonu srɛ wo a, fa kyɛ no.”

And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

5 Ɛda bi, asomafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, hyɛ yɛn gyidie mu den.”

And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

6 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ mowɔ gyidie te sɛ onyina aba a, anka mobɛtumi aka akyerɛ akyee yi sɛ, ‘Tutu kɔgu ɛpo mu,’ na ɛbɛba mu saa.

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

7 “Mo mu hwan na ɔwɔ ɔsomfoɔ a ɔyɛ nʼafuom adwuma anaasɛ ɔhwɛ ne mmoa na ɔfiri afuom ba a, ɔbɛka akyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Wʼaduane si hɔ na kɔdidi?’

But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

8 Na mmom ɔrenka nkyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Noa aduane ma me na sɛ modidi wie a, wo nso woakɔdidi?’

And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

9 Sɛ ɔsomfoɔ yi yɛ nʼasɛdeɛ yi a, ne wura no bɛda no ase anaa?

Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

10 Saa ara nso na sɛ mo nso moyɛ mo asɛdeɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ moka sɛ, ‘Yɛyɛ asomfoɔ a ayɛyie mfata yɛn, yɛn asɛdeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ na yɛayɛ no.’”

So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

11 Ɛberɛ bi a Yesu rekɔ Yerusalem no, ɔfaa Samaria ne Galilea hyeɛ so.

And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 Ɔrebɛn akuraa bi ase no, akwatafoɔ edu bi a na wɔgyinagyina kurotia no hunuu no

And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 teateaam sɛ, “Yesu, yɛn wura, hunu yɛn mmɔbɔ.”

And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 Yesu hunuu wɔn no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momfa mo ho nkɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfoɔ!” Ɛberɛ a akwatafoɔ no rekɔ no, wɔn ho yɛɛ wɔn den.

And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15 Wɔn mu baako hunuu sɛ ne ho ayɛ no den no, ɔsanee nʼakyi de ahurisie yii Onyankopɔn ayɛ sɛ, “Animuonyam nka Onyankopɔn, wama me ho ayɛ me den!”

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 Ɔbɛkotoo Yesu anim daa no ase. Na saa ɔbarima yi yɛ Samariani.

And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 Yesu bisaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ nnipa edu na wɔn ho yɛɛ wɔn den? Baakron a wɔaka no wɔ he?

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 Adɛn enti na ɔmamfrani yi nko na wasane aba sɛ ɔrebɛyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ?”

There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

19 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɔre kɔ, wo gyidie ama wo ho ayɛ wo den.”

And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

20 Ɛda bi Farisifoɔ bi bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Ɛberɛ bɛn na Onyankopɔn Ahennie no bɛba?” Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Onyankopɔn Ahennie no nnam nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi a mobɛhunu so na ɛbɛba,

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

21 na obi rentumi nkyerɛ mo sɛ, ‘Ɛwɔ ha anaa ɛhɔ!’ Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn Ahennie no te mo mu.”

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

22 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Mmerɛ bi bɛba a mo ani bɛgyina sɛ mobɛhunu Onipa Ba no wɔ mo nkyɛn, nanso morenhunu no.

And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

23 Sɛ nnipa ka kyerɛ mo sɛ mewɔ ha anaa baabi foforɔ a, monnni wɔn akyi.

And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

24 Sɛdeɛ anyinam pa ogya wɔ ewiem ma nnipa nyinaa hunu no, saa ara nso na Onipa Ba no ba a ɔbɛsane aba no bɛyɛ.

For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

25 Nanso, ansa na yeinom nyinaa bɛba mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ mehunu amane na me nkurɔfoɔ nso po me.

But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

26 “Sɛdeɛ Noa ɛberɛ so nnipa yɛɛ asoɔden no, saa ara nso na sɛ Onipa Ba no ba a, ɛbɛyɛ no no.

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

27 Saa ɛberɛ no, nnipa didi nomee, warewaree kɔsii sɛ Noa kɔhyɛɛ ɛhyɛn no mu na nsuyire bɛfaa saa nnipa no nyinaa.

They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28 “Saa ara nso na Lot berɛ so no, na ɛte. Nnipa didi nomee, dii dwa, yɛɛ mfuo, sisii adan,

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 kɔsii sɛ Lot firii Sodom na ogya ne sɔfe firi ɔsoro bɛhyee saa nnipa no nyinaa.

But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 “Saa ara nso na da a Onipa Ba no bɛsane aba no, ɛbɛyɛ.

Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

31 Saa ɛda no, ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara a ɔwɔ adwuma mu, afuo mu anaa edwa so sane nʼakyi ba efie sɛ ɔrebɛsesa nʼahodeɛ.

In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32 Monkae asɛm a ɛtoo Lot yere.

Remember Lot’s wife.

33 Obiara a ɔdɔ ne ɔkra no, ɛbɛfiri ne nsa. Na deɛ ɔbɛhwere ne ɔkra no, bɛnya.

Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

34 Ɛda no, wɔbɛfa nnipa baanu a wɔda faako no mu baako agya ɔbaako.

I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

35 Saa ara nso na wɔbɛfa mmaa baanu a wɔrenoa aduane no mu baako agya ɔbaako.

Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36 Mmarima baanu a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ afuom no nso, wɔbɛfa ɔbaako agya ɔbaako.”

Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

37 Asuafoɔ no bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, ɛhe na wɔde wɔn bɛkɔ?” Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Baabi a efunu wɔ no, apete mpa hɔ!”

And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
