Luka 19
1 Ɛda bi a na Yesu retwam wɔ Yeriko no,
And having entered He was passing through Jericho.
2 ɔhunuu ɔbarima bi wɔ hɔ a wɔfrɛ no Sakeo. Na Sakeo yɛ ɔtogyeni panin sane yɛ osikani nso.
And behold a man by name being called Zacchaeus and he himself was a chief tax collector and (he himself *N(k)O*) (was *k*) rich;
3 Ɛberɛ a Yesu retwam no, Sakeo pɛɛ sɛ anka ɔhunu no, nanso ɛsiane sɛ na ɔyɛ onipa tiawa na wɔn a wɔdi Yesu akyi no dɔɔso enti, wanhunu no.
And he was seeking to see Jesus who He is and not he was able because of the crowd, because in stature small he was.
4 Esiane sɛ na Sakeo nim sɛ Yesu bɛfa nnyedua bi a na ɛsisi hɔ no ase enti, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔforoo saa nnyedua no mu baako.
And having run (to the *no*) front he went up into a sycamore-fig tree so that he may see Him, for (through *k*) that [way] He was soon to pass.
5 Ɛberɛ a Yesu duruu nnyedua no ase no, ɔmaa nʼani so hunuu no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sakeo, yɛ ntɛm na si fam, na wo fie na ɛnnɛ mɛtena.”
And as He came to the place, having looked up Jesus (he saw him and *K*) said to him; Zacchaeus, having hurried do come down; today for in the house of you it behooves Me to stay.
6 Sakeo yɛɛ ntɛm sii fam de anigyeɛ gyee no fɛ so.
And having hurried he came down and received Him rejoicing.
7 Nnipa a wɔdi Yesu akyi no hunuu yei no, wɔnwiinwii kaa sɛ, “Ɔdebɔneyɛfoɔ yi na wakɔ akɔsoɛ no.”
And having seen [it] (all *N(k)O*) were grumbling saying that With a sinful man He has entered to stay.
8 Ɛberɛ a nnipa no renwiinwii no, Sakeo bɛgyinaa Yesu nkyɛn kaa sɛ, “Awurade, ɛnnɛ, mede mʼahodeɛ mu fa kyɛ ahiafoɔ, na sɛ masisi obi wɔ biribi mu a, mɛtua mmɔho nan ama no.”
Having stood then Zacchaeus said to the Lord; Behold the half my possessions Lord, to the poor I give; and if of anyone anything I have defrauded, I restore [it] fourfold.
9 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ na nkwagyeɛ aba efie yi mu, ɛfiri sɛ, yei nso yɛ Abraham ba.
Said then to him Jesus that Today salvation to the house this has come, because also he himself a son of Abraham is;
10 Na Onipa Ba no baeɛ sɛ ɔrebɛhwehwɛ wɔn a wɔayera na wagye wɔn nkwa.”
Came for the Son of Man to seek and to save that having been lost.
11 Ɛberɛ a Yesu ne nnipa no rebɛn Yerusalem no, ɔsane buu wɔn bɛ foforɔ de kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, Onyankopɔn Ahennie no abɛn.
When are hearing now they these things having proceeded He spoke a parable because near being to Jerusalem He and thinking they that immediately is about the kingdom of God to appear.
12 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɔdehyeɛ bi a watu kwan akɔ akyirikyiri asase bi so sane kɔɔ ne kurom kɔhunuu nʼabusua mu mpanimfoɔ sɛ wɔnsi no ɔhene.
He said therefore; A man certain of noble birth proceeded to a country distant to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
13 Ansa na ɔrebɛfiri nʼakwantuo no ase no, ɔfrɛɛ nʼadwumayɛfoɔ mu edu maa wɔn mu biara minaedu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Momfa sika yi nyɛ adwuma kɔsi sɛ mɛba.’
Having called then ten servants his own he gave to them ten minas and said to them; (Do trade *NK(o)*) (in that *NO*) (until *k*) I come back.
14 “Kurom hɔfoɔ no tee nʼahennie no ho asɛm no, wɔtuu nnipa kɔhunuu mpanimfoɔ no sɛ wɔmpɛ no.
But the citizens of him were hating him and sent a delegation after him saying; Not we are willing [for] this [man] to reign over us.
15 “Nanso, wɔsii no ɔhene ma ɔsane kɔɔ baabi a na ɔyɛ adwuma no. Ɔduruiɛ no, ɔfrɛɛ nʼadwumayɛfoɔ edu no sɛ, wɔmmɛbu sika a ɔde maa wɔn no ho nkonta nkyerɛ no.
And it came to pass on the returning of him having received the kingdom that he directed to be called to him servants these to whom (he had given *N(k)O*) the money, in order that he may know (who *k*) what (they had gained by trading. *N(k)O*)
16 “Odwumayɛfoɔ a ɔdii ɛkan baeɛ no bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Me wura, wo sika mina edu no, mede ayɛ adwuma anya ho mmɔho edu.’
Came up then the first saying; lord, the mina of you ten (has produced *N(k)O*) more minas.
17 “Owura no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Mo, akoa pa, ɛsiane sɛ woadi kakraa a mede hyɛɛ wo nsa no ho nokorɛ enti, mede nkuro edu bɛhyɛ wʼase na woadi so.’
And He said to him; (well done *N(k)O*) good servant! Because in very little faithful you were, do be having authority you are over ten cities.
18 “Odwumayɛfoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmienu no baeɛ bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Me wura, wo sika mina edu no, mede ayɛ adwuma anya ho mmɔho enum.’
And came the second saying; The mina of you, lord, has made five minas.
19 “Owura no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Mede nkuro enum bɛhyɛ wʼase na woadi so.’
He said then also to this one; And you yourself over do be five cities.
20 “Ɔfoforɔ nso bɛkaa sɛ, ‘Me wura wo sika mina edu a wode maa me no, mede sieeɛ, ɛno nie.
And (*no*) another came saying; lord, behold the mina of you which I was keeping lying in a piece of cloth;
21 Na mesuro wo, ɛfiri sɛ, wo ho yɛ nwanwa. Deɛ ɛnyɛ wo dea no, wogye; deɛ wunnuaeɛ nso, wotwa.’
I was afraid for of you, because a man harsh you are; You take up what not you did lay down and you reap what not you did sow.
22 “Ne wura no buaa no sɛ, ‘Akoa bɔne, wo anom asɛm so na megyina abu wo atɛn. Wonim sɛ me ho yɛ nwanwa. Deɛ ɛnyɛ me dea no megye; deɛ mennuaeɛ no, metwa.
He says (now *k*) to him; Out of the mouth of you I will judge you, evil servant. You knew that I myself a man harsh am taking up what not I did lay down and reaping what not I did sow;
23 Adɛn enti na woamfa me sika no ankɔto sikakorabea? Anka mebaeɛ yi mɛnya ho nsiho.’
Then because of why not did you give my money to (the *k*) bank, and I myself and I myself having come with interest maybe it collected
24 “Ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ a na wɔgyina hɔ no sɛ ‘Monnye sika no mfiri ne nsam mfa mma deɛ ɔde ne deɛ yɛɛ adwuma nyaa mmɔho edu no.’
And to those having stood by he said; do take from him the mina and do give [it] to the [one] the ten minas having.
25 “Asomfoɔ no kaa sɛ, ‘Yɛn wura, sɛ yei deɛ ɔwɔ sika bebree!’
And they said to him; Master, he has ten minas.
26 “Owura no kaa sɛ, ‘Merema mo ate aseɛ sɛ, deɛ ɔwɔ bebree no, wɔbɛma no bi aka ho, na deɛ ɔwɔ kakra bi no, deɛ ɔwɔ mpo no, wɔbɛgye afiri ne nsam.
I say (for *ko*) to you that to everyone who is having will be given, from however the [one] not having even that which he has will be taken away (from of him. *ko*)
27 Na afei, momfa mʼatamfoɔ a anka wɔmpɛ sɛ medi adeɛ no mmra mʼanim ha na monkum wɔn!’”
Furthermore the enemies of mine (these *N(k)O*) those not having been willing [for] me to reign over them do bring here and do slay them before me.
28 Yesu kaa nsɛm yi wieeɛ no, ɔdii nʼasuafoɔ no ɛkan kɔɔ Yerusalem.
And having said these things He was going on ahead going up to Jerusalem.
29 Ɔrebɛn Betfage ne Betania a ɛbɛn Ngo Bepɔ so no, ɔsomaa nʼasuafoɔ no mu baanu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
And it came to pass as He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany toward the mount which is being called Olivet He sent two of the disciples (of him *ko*)
30 “Monkɔ akuraa a ɛbɛn ha no ase na moduru hɔ a, mobɛhunu afunumu ba bi a obiara ntenaa ne so da sɛ wɔasa no. Monsane no mfa no mmrɛ me.
(speaking; *N(k)O*) do go into the ahead village, in which entering you will find a colt tied on which no [one] ever yet of men has sat; (and *no*) having untied it do bring [it].
31 Sɛ obi bisa sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na moresane no’ a, monka nkyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Ne ho hia Awurade.’”
And if anyone you shall ask; Because of why do you untie [it]? thus will you say (to him: *k*) Because the Lord of it need has.’
32 Asuafoɔ baanu a wɔkɔeɛ no kɔhunuu aboa no sɛ ɔsa hɔ sɛdeɛ Yesu kaeɛ no.
Having departed then those sent found [it] even as He had said to them.
33 Ɛberɛ a wɔresane afunumu ba no, ne wuranom bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na moresane aboa no?”
When are untying then they the colt said the masters of it to them; Why untie you the colt?
34 Wɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Ne ho hia Awurade.”
And they said: (that *no*) The Lord of it need has.
35 Asuafoɔ no de afunumu ba no brɛɛ Yesu de wɔn ntoma sesɛɛ ne so ma ɔtenaa ne so.
And they led it to Jesus, and having cast (their *N(k)O*) garments on the colt they put on [it] Jesus.
36 Yesu te afunumu ba no so rekɔ no, nnipa de wɔn ntoma sesɛɛ ɛkwan no so ma ɔfaa so.
When is going then He they were spreading the garments (of them *NK(o)*) on the road.

When is drawing near then he already at the descent of the Mount of Olives began all the multitude of the disciples rejoicing to praise God in a voice loud for (all *NK(o)*) which they had seen [the] mighty works
38 “Nhyira nka ɔhene a ɔreba Awurade din mu no!” “Asomdwoeɛ ne animuonyam nka Onyankopɔn wɔ ɔsorosoro nohoa!”
saying: Blessed [is] the coming King in [the] name of [the] Lord; In heaven peace, and glory in [the] highest.
39 Farisifoɔ no bi a na wɔfra nnipakuo no mu no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, kasa kyerɛ wʼakyidifoɔ no na wɔmmua wɔn ano!”
And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him; Teacher, do rebuke the disciples of You.
40 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ wɔmua wɔn ano koraa a, aboɔ mpo bɛkamfo me, ayi me ayɛ.”
And answering He said (to them: *ko*) I say to you (that *ko*) if these (will be silent, *N(k)O*) the stones (will cry out. *N(k)O*)
41 Yesu rebɛn Yerusalem a ɔhunuu kuro no no, ɔsu maa emu nnipa no sɛ,
And as He drew near, having seen the city He wept over (it *N(k)O*)

43 Nna bi bɛba a mo atamfoɔ bɛba abɛtoa mo, aka mo ahyɛ,
For will come days upon you that (will cast around *N(k)O*) the enemies of you a barricade you and they will surround you and they will hem in you on every side
44 atɔre mo ne mo mma ase, asɛe mo kuro yi pasaa, ɛfiri sɛ, moapo adom a Onyankopɔn de adom mo no.”
and will level to the ground you and the children of you within you and not will leave a stone upon (a stone *N(k)O*) within you, because which not you knew the season of visitation of you.
45 Yesu duruu Yerusalem no, ɔkɔɔ asɔredan mu kɔpamoo nnipa a na wɔredi edwa wɔ hɔ no kaa sɛ,
And having entered into the temple He began to cast out those selling (in to it *k*) (and buying *K*)
46 “Wɔatwerɛ sɛ, ‘Mʼasɔredan yɛ mpaeɛbɔbea; nanso mode ayɛ akorɔmfoɔ ahyiaeɛ!’”
saying to them; It has been written: (And *no*) (will be *N(k)O*) the house of Mine a house of prayer’; You yourselves however it made a den of robbers.’
47 Saa ɛberɛ no nyinaa na asɔfoɔ mpanimfoɔ, Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ ne ɔman no mu mpanimfoɔ rehwehwɛ ɛkwan a wɔbɛfa so anya no, akyere no, akum no.
And He was teaching every day in the temple; the however chief priests and the scribes were seeking Him to destroy and the foremost of the people,
48 Nanso, na wɔnhunu ɛkwan biara a wɔbɛfa so akyere no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ nyinaa na nnipa akyere ne so retie no.
And not they were finding what they may do; the people for all were hanging on His [words] listening.
