Luka 6
1 Homeda bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no nam aburoofuo bi mu no, asuafoɔ no pempan aburoo no bi hwane, weeɛ.
Now it came to pass for him to be going through the grain fields on a particular sabbath, and his disciples were plucking the ears and were eating, rubbing them in their hands.
2 Farisifoɔ bi bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn na moyɛ adeɛ a ɛtia Homeda ho mmara a wɔahyɛ no?”
But some of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye what is not permitted to do on the sabbath day?
3 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Monkenkanee deɛ Ɔhene Dawid yɛɛ ɛberɛ a ɛkɔm dee ɔne wɔn a wɔka ne ho no wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no mu anaa?
And having answered them, Jesus said, Have ye not read even this, what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him,
4 Ɔkɔɔ asɔredan mu kɔfaa burodo a wɔde abɔ afɔdeɛ ama Onyankopɔn a mmara mma ho kwan sɛ obi di, gye asɔfoɔ nko ara no, de bi maa wɔn a wɔka ne ho no nso diiɛ.”
how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the loaves of the presentation, and also gave to those who were with him, which is not permitted to eat, except the priests alone?
5 Yesu kaa sɛ, “Onipa Ba no ne Homeda no wura.”
And he said to them, The Son of man is lord also of the sabbath.
6 Homeda foforɔ bi nso a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan mu no, na ɔbarima bi a ne nsa nifa awu nso wɔ hɔ bi.
And it also came to pass on another sabbath for him to enter into the synagogue and teach. And a man was there, and his right hand was withered.
7 Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ ne Farisifoɔ no hwɛɛ Yesu dinn sɛ ɔbɛsa onipa yi yadeɛ Homeda yi nso anaa. Deɛ na wɔrehwehwɛ ara ne sɛ ɔbɛbu mmara no so, asa yadeɛ na wɔn nsa aka no akyere no.
And the scholars and the Pharisees watched if he would heal on the sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him.
8 Yesu hunuu wɔn adwene, nanso ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔbarima no sɛ, “Sɔre bɛgyina animu ha, na obiara nhunu wo.” Ɔbarima no sɔre bɛgyinaa hɔ.
But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And having risen, he stood up.
9 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Merebisa mo. Ɛdeɛn na mmara no ma ho ɛkwan sɛ yɛnyɛ no Homeda; sɛ yɛbɛyɛ papa anaa yɛbɛyɛ bɔne, sɛ yɛbɛgye obi nkwa anaasɛ yɛbɛma wawu?”
Then Jesus said to them, I will question you. What? Is it permitted on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm, to save life, or to kill?
10 Yesu hwɛɛ wɔn nyinaa hyiaeɛ na ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔbarima no sɛ, “Tene wo nsa.” Na ɔtenee ne nsa no, emu yɛɛ den sɛ baako no.
And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did, and his hand was restored whole as the other.
11 Deɛ Yesu yɛeɛ yi hyɛɛ nnipa no abufuo yie ma wɔfirii aseɛ bɔɔ ne ho pɔ.
But they were filled with fury, and deliberated with each other what they might do to Jesus.
12 Ɛda bi a Yesu kɔɔ bepɔ bi so sɛ ɔrekɔbɔ mpaeɛ. Ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ anadwo mu no nyinaa
And he happened in these days to go out onto the mountain to pray, and he was continuing all night in prayer to God.
13 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, ɔfrɛɛ nʼakyidifoɔ no nyinaa baa ne nkyɛn na ɔyii wɔn mu dumienu. Saa dumienu yi na ɔfrɛɛ wɔn asomafoɔ.
And when it became day, he called his disciples, and chose twelve from them, whom he also named apostles:
14 Simon, a ɔtoo ne din Petro; Andrea, Simon nua; Yakobo, Yohane, Filipo, Bartolomeo,
Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Mateo, Toma, Yakobo a ɔyɛ Alfeo ba; Simon, a wɔfrɛ no Selote;
Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,
16 Yuda, a ɔyɛ Yakobo ba; ne Yuda Iskariot a ɔyii Yesu maeɛ no.
Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.
17 Yesu firii bepɔ no so siane baa fam maa nʼakyidifoɔ bebree ne nnipakuo a wɔfiri Yudea, Yerusalem ne mpoano nkuro Tiro ne Sidon mu no bɛtwaa ne ho hyiaeɛ.
And having come down with them, he stood on a level place. And a company of his disciples, and a large number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the maritime Tyre and Sidon, were those who came to hear him, and to be healed from their diseases,
18 Wɔbaeɛ sɛ wɔrebɛtie no ama wasa wɔn nyarewa nso. Ɔtuu ahonhommɔne bebree.
also those who were afflicted with unclean spirits. And they were healed.
19 Obiara bɔɔ mmɔden sɛ ɔde ne nsa bɛka Yesu. Ayarefoɔ a wɔde wɔn nsa kaa Yesu no nyinaa ho tɔɔ wɔn.
And all the multitude sought to touch him, because power came forth from him, and healed them all.
20 Afei, ɔdanee nʼani ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Nhyira ne mo a moyɛ ahiafoɔ, na mo na Onyankopɔn Ahennie no yɛ mo dea!
And having lifted up his eyes on his disciples, he said, Blessed are the poor, because the kingdom of God is what belongs to you.
21 Nhyira ne mo a ɛkɔm de mo, na mo na wɔbɛma mo amee. Nhyira ne mo a mo werɛ ahoɔ, na mo na wɔbɛma mo ani agye.
Blessed are those who hunger now, because ye will be filled. Blessed are those who weep now, because ye will laugh.
22 Nhyira ne mo a Onipa Ba no din enti, nnipa tan mo, na wɔpa mo na wɔya mo, na wɔgu mo din ho fi.
Blessed are ye, when men will hate you, and when they will exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, because of the Son of man.
23 “Sɛ ɛba saa a, momma mo ani nnye na monni ahurisie! Ɛfiri sɛ, mo akatua so wɔ ɔsoro. Na saa ara nso na wɔn agyanom yɛɛ tete adiyifoɔ no.
Rejoice ye in that day, and leap, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did in the same way to the prophets.
24 “Na mo adefoɔ deɛ, monnue ɛfiri sɛ, deɛ ɛma mo ani gye no, mo nsa aka dada; yei enti, monni kyɛfa biara bio.
However, woe to you the rich, because ye have received your consolation.
25 Monnue, mo a moamee seesei, na mo na ɛkɔm bɛde mo! Monnue, mo a moresere seesei, na mo na mobɛsi apinie, asu.
Woe to you who are filled now, because ye will hunger. Woe to you who laugh now, because ye will mourn and weep.
26 Monnue, mo a nnipa kamfo mo, ɛfiri sɛ, saa ara na wɔn nananom kamfoo atorɔ adiyifoɔ no.”
Woe when men will speak well of you, for their fathers did in the same way to the false prophets.
27 “Mereka akyerɛ mo a moretie me no nyinaa sɛ, monnɔ mo atamfoɔ; monyɛ wɔn a wɔtan mo no papa.
But I say to you, to those who hear, love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you.
28 Monhyira wɔn a wɔdome mo; mommɔ mpaeɛ mma wɔn a wɔtan mo.
Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you.
29 Sɛ obi bɔ wʼasom a, dane baako a aka no ma no. Sɛ obi pa wo ntoma a, worɔ wʼatadeɛ ka ho.
To him who strikes thee on the cheek offer the other also, and from him who takes away thy cloak, also do not withhold thy coat.
30 Sɛ obi srɛ wo biribi a, fa ma no. Obi gye wʼadeɛ a, mmisa no bio.
Give to every man who asks thee, and from him who takes away thy personal things do not demand them back.
31 Na deɛ mopɛ sɛ nnipa nyɛ mo no, mo nso monyɛ wɔn saa ara.
And as ye desire that men would do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 “Na sɛ modɔ wɔn a wɔdɔ mo no nko ara a, mfasoɔ bɛn na mobɛnya? ‘Nnebɔneyɛfoɔ’ nso dɔ wɔn a wɔdɔ wɔn no.
And if ye love those who love you, what credit is for you? For even sinners love those who love them.
33 Na sɛ moyɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ mo papa no nko ara yie a, mfasoɔ bɛn na mobɛnya? Nnebɔneyɛfoɔ mpo yɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ wɔn papa no nso yie.
And if ye do good to those who do good to you, what credit is for you? For even sinners do the same.
34 Na sɛ mobɔ wɔn a mosusu sɛ wɔbɛtumi atua mo nko ara bosea a, papa bɛn na moayɛ? Nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nso bobɔ bobɔ wɔn ho wɔn ho bosea, a wɔhwɛ sɛ wɔn nsa bɛka wɔn sika bio.
And if ye lend to whom ye hope to receive, what credit is for you? For even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 Monnɔ mo atamfoɔ. Monyɛ wɔn papa. Momma wɔn deɛ ɛhia wɔn a, mo ani nni akyire bio. Na sɛ moyɛ yeinom a, mo akatua bɛyɛ kɛse wɔ ɔsoro na moayɛ Onyankopɔn mma; ɛfiri sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ adɔeɛ, na ɔdom bonniayɛfoɔ nso.
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, despairing nothing, and your reward will be great. And ye will be sons of the Most High, because he is good toward the ungrateful and bad.
36 Monyɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ sɛdeɛ mo Agya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no yɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ no.
Become ye therefore merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
37 “Mommmu ntɛn, na wɔammu mo ntɛn; mommmu fɔ, na wɔammu mo fɔ; momfa nkyɛ, na wɔde akyɛ mo.
And do not criticize, and ye will, no, not be criticized. And do not condemn, and ye will, no, not be condemned. Forgive, and ye will be forgiven.
38 Sɛ moma a, wɔbɛhyɛ mo ananmu. Deɛ mode ma no, wɔde susudua a wɔahyɛ no ma, amia so ama abu so na ɛbɛsusu ama mo. Susudua a mode bɛsusu ama no, ɛno ara na wɔde bɛsusu ama mo.”
Give, and it will be given to you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, they will give into your bosom. For with the same measure with which ye measure, it will be measured again to you.
39 Yesu nam abɛbuo so kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn bio sɛ, “Onifirani bɛtumi akyerɛ onifirani ɛkwan ama ayɛ yie anaa? Sɛ ɛba saa a, wɔn baanu nyinaa bɛtɔ amena mu.
And he spoke a parable to them. Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a ditch?
40 Osuani nsene ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ. Nanso, sɛ ɔyere ne ho sua deɛ wɔrekyerɛ no no yie a ɔbɛsɛ ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ.
A disciple is not above his teacher, but every disciple who is fully developed will be as his teacher.
41 “Adɛn enti na woma aboseaa a ɛgu wo nua ani so ha wo, ɛberɛ a ɛboɔ da wo deɛ so?
And why do thou see the speck in thy brother's eye, but do not perceive the beam in thine own eye?
42 Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na woatumi aka akyerɛ wo nua sɛ, ‘Ma menyi anwea a ɛgu wʼani so no mma wo’ wɔ ɛberɛ a ɛboɔ a ɛda wʼani so no wonhunu. Nyaatwomni, di ɛkan yi ɛboɔ a ɛda wʼani so no ansa na woatumi ayi anwea a ɛgu wo nua ani so no ama no.
Or how can thou say to thy brother, Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in thine eye, when thou thyself do not see the beam in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first take out the beam from thine own eye, and then thou will see clearly to take out the speck in thy brother's eye.
43 “Dua pa nso aba bɔne, na dua bɔne nso nso aba pa.
For a good tree is not producing corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree producing good fruit.
44 Dua biara aba na wɔnam so hunu dua ko a ɛyɛ. Worentumi nte borɔdɔma wɔ nnɛnkyɛmse so. Saa ara na worentumi nte bobe wɔ nkasɛɛ so.
For each tree is known from its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they harvest grapes from a bramble bush.
45 Onipa pa firi nnepa a ɛwɔ nʼakoma mu yɛ ade pa. Saa ara nso na onipa bɔne nso firi ne nnebɔne a ɛwɔ nʼakoma mu yɛ ade bɔne. Deɛ ahyɛ onipa akoma ma no, na ɛpue firi nʼano.
The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth the good, and the bad man out of the bad treasure of his heart brings forth the bad, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
46 “Adɛn enti na mofrɛ me ‘Awurade,’ nanso monni mʼasɛm so?
And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and not do the things that I say?
47 Merekyerɛ mo sɛdeɛ onipa biara a ɔba me nkyɛn, na ɔtie mʼasɛm di so no teɛ.
Every man who comes to me, and hears my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like.
48 Ɔte sɛ obi a na ɔresi ɛdan na ɔtwaa ne ɛdan no fapem ma ɛsii ɔbotan so. Na osuo tɔeɛ maa nsuo no yiri bɛbɔ faa ɛdan no ase nanso ammu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔsi sii ɔbotan so.
He is like a man who builds a house, who dug and excavated, and laid a foundation upon the rock. And when a flood developed, the stream beat upon that house, and could not shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock.
49 Na deɛ ɔte mʼasɛm na ɔnni so no, ɔte sɛ obi a ɔresi ɛdan, na ɔsii ɛdan no sii anwea so, na osuo tɔ maa nsuo no yiri bɛbɔ faa aseɛ ma ɛdwiriiɛ.”
But he who heard, and not having done, is like a man who built a house upon the soil without a foundation, on which the stream beat, and straightaway it fell. And the ruin of that house became great.
