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 on a sabbath, that he was going through the cornfields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.
2 Farisifoɔ bi bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn na moyɛ adeɛ a ɛtia Homeda ho mmara a wɔahyɛ no?”
But certain of the Pharisees said, Why do ye that which it 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?
And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read even this, what David did, when he was an hungred, he, and they that 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 did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone?
5 Yesu kaa sɛ, “Onipa Ba no ne Homeda no wura.”
And he said unto 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.
And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and 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.
And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse 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 that had his hand withered, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
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?”
And Jesus said unto them, I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?
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 he looked round about on them all, and said unto him, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did [so]: and his hand was restored.
11 Deɛ Yesu yɛeɛ yi hyɛɛ nnipa no abufuo yie ma wɔfirii aseɛ bɔɔ ne ho pɔ.
But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another 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 it came to pass in these days, that he went out into 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.
And when it was day, he called his disciples: and he chose from them twelve, whom also he 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, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Mateo, Toma, Yakobo a ɔyɛ Alfeo ba; Simon, a wɔfrɛ no Selote;
and Matthew and Thomas, and James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Simon which was called the Zealot,
16 Yuda, a ɔyɛ Yakobo ba; ne Yuda Iskariot a ɔyii Yesu maeɛ no.
and Judas [the son] of James, and Judas Iscariot, which was the 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 he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
18 Wɔbaeɛ sɛ wɔrebɛtie no ama wasa wɔn nyarewa nso. Ɔtuu ahonhommɔne bebree.
and they that were troubled with unclean spirits 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: for 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 he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed [are] ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
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] ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed [are] ye that weep now: for ye shall 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 shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and reproach you, and cast 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 in the same manner did their fathers unto 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 unto you that are rich! for 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 unto you, ye that are full now! for ye shall hunger. Woe [unto you], ye that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
26 Monnue, mo a nnipa kamfo mo, ɛfiri sɛ, saa ara na wɔn nananom kamfoo atorɔ adiyifoɔ no.”
Woe [unto you], when all men shall speak well of you! for in the same manner did their fathers 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 unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you,
28 Monhyira wɔn a wɔdome mo; mommɔ mpaeɛ mma wɔn a wɔtan mo.
bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use 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 that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away thy cloke withhold not thy coat also.
30 Sɛ obi srɛ wo biribi a, fa ma no. Obi gye wʼadeɛ a, mmisa no bio.
Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31 Na deɛ mopɛ sɛ nnipa nyɛ mo no, mo nso monyɛ wɔn saa ara.
And as ye would that men should 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 them that love you, what thank have ye? for even sinners love those that 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 them that do good to you, what thank have ye? 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 them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? even sinners lend to sinners, to receive again 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 [them] good, and lend, never despairing; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be sons 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.
Be ye 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 judge not, and ye shall not be judged: and condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: release, and ye shall be released:
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 shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.
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 spake also a parable unto them, Can the blind guide the blind? shall they not 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.
The disciple is not above his master: but every one when he is perfected shall be as his master.
41 “Adɛn enti na woma aboseaa a ɛgu wo nua ani so ha wo, ɛberɛ a ɛboɔ da wo deɛ so?
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is 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 canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.
43 “Dua pa nso aba bɔne, na dua bɔne nso nso aba pa.
For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit; nor again a corrupt tree that bringeth forth 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 of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
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 bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil [man] out of the evil [treasure] bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46 “Adɛn enti na mofrɛ me ‘Awurade,’ nanso monni mʼasɛm so?
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Merekyerɛ mo sɛdeɛ onipa biara a ɔba me nkyɛn, na ɔtie mʼasɛm di so no teɛ.
Every one that cometh unto me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will shew 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 building a house, who digged and went deep, and laid a foundation upon the rock: and when a flood arose, the stream brake against that house, and could not shake it: because it had been well builded.
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 that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream brake, and straightway it fell in; and the ruin of that house was great.
