Luka 6
1 Homeda bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no nam aburoofuo bi mu no, asuafoɔ no pempan aburoo no bi hwane, weeɛ.
Now on the second Sabbath after the first, he was going through the grain fields. His disciples plucked the heads of grain and ate, 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 you do that which is not lawful 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?
Jesus, answering them, said, “Have not you read what David did when he was hungry, he 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 God’s house, and took and ate the show bread, and gave also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests alone?”
5 Yesu kaa sɛ, “Onipa Ba no ne Homeda no wura.”
He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord 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.
It also happened on another Sabbath that he entered into the synagogue and taught. There was a man 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.
The scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, 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 in the middle.” He arose and stood.
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 ask you something: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good, or to do harm? To save a 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.
He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound 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 rage, and talked with one another about what they might do to Jesus.
12 Ɛda bi a Yesu kɔɔ bepɔ bi so sɛ ɔrekɔbɔ mpaeɛ. Ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ anadwo mu no nyinaa
In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued 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.
When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, 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; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;
15 Mateo, Toma, Yakobo a ɔyɛ Alfeo ba; Simon, a wɔfrɛ no Selote;
Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; 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.
He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases,
18 Wɔbaeɛ sɛ wɔrebɛtie no ama wasa wɔn nyarewa nso. Ɔtuu ahonhommɔne bebree.
as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits; and they were being healed.
19 Obiara bɔɔ mmɔden sɛ ɔde ne nsa bɛka Yesu. Ayarefoɔ a wɔde wɔn nsa kaa Yesu no nyinaa ho tɔɔ wɔn.
All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of 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!
He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for God’s Kingdom is yours.
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 you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you 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 you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.
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 in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing 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.
“But woe to you who are rich! For you 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, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you 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 speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing 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 tell you 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, and 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 you on the cheek, offer also the other; and from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your coat also.
30 Sɛ obi srɛ wo biribi a, fa ma no. Obi gye wʼadeɛ a, mmisa no bio.
Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask him who takes away your goods to give them back again.
31 Na deɛ mopɛ sɛ nnipa nyɛ mo no, mo nso monyɛ wɔn saa ara.
“As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them.
32 “Na sɛ modɔ wɔn a wɔdɔ mo no nko ara a, mfasoɔ bɛn na mobɛnya? ‘Nnebɔneyɛfoɔ’ nso dɔ wɔn a wɔdɔ wɔn no.
“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to 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.
If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to 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.
If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.
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, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
36 Monyɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ sɛdeɛ mo Agya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no yɛ mmɔborɔhunufoɔ no.
“Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.
37 “Mommmu ntɛn, na wɔammu mo ntɛn; mommmu fɔ, na wɔammu mo fɔ; momfa nkyɛ, na wɔde akyɛ mo.
Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.
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, will be given to you. For with the same measure you measure it will be measured back 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.
He spoke a parable to them. “Can the blind guide the blind? Will not they both fall into a pit?
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 everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
41 “Adɛn enti na woma aboseaa a ɛgu wo nua ani so ha wo, ɛberɛ a ɛboɔ da wo deɛ so?
Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the beam that is in your 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 you tell your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother’s eye.
43 “Dua pa nso aba bɔne, na dua bɔne nso nso aba pa.
“For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree that produces 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 by its own fruit. For people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather 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 out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
46 “Adɛn enti na mofrɛ me ‘Awurade,’ nanso monni mʼasɛm so?
“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do the things which I say?
47 Merekyerɛ mo sɛdeɛ onipa biara a ɔba me nkyɛn, na ɔtie mʼasɛm di so no teɛ.
Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words and does them, I will show you who 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 building a house, who dug and went deep and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on 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 hears and does not do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”
