Luka 8
1 Yei akyi no, Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ dumienu no kyinkyinii Galilea nkuro ne nkuraa bi ase kaa Onyankopɔn Ahennie no ho asɛm.
And it came to pass afterwards that he went through [the country] city by city, and village by village, preaching and announcing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God; and the twelve [were] with him,
2 Ɔrekɔ no, nnipa a na wɔdi nʼakyi no bi ne Maria Magdalene a ɔtuu ahonhommɔne nson firii ne mu no,
and certain women who had been healed of wicked spirits and infirmities, Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 ne Yohana a ɔyɛ Kusa, Herode efie sohwɛfoɔ panin yere, ne Susana. Saa mmaa yi ne afoforɔ bi na wɔfiri wɔn ahonya mu hwɛɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ.
and Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him of their substance.
4 Ɛda bi a nnipa bebree bi firi nkuro nkuro so baa ne nkyɛn no, ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn abɛbuo mu sɛ,
And a great crowd coming together, and those who were coming to him out of each city, he spoke by parable:
5 “Ɛda bi, okuafoɔ bi kɔɔ nʼafuom kɔguu aba. Ɔguiɛ no, aba no bi kɔguu ɛkwan mu maa nnipa tiatiaa so na nnomaa bɛsosɔeɛ.
The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the way, and it was trodden under foot, and the birds of the heaven devoured it up;
6 Ebi nso kɔguu abotan so, enti ɛfifiriiɛ no, ankyɛre na ne nyinaa hyeeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, annya nsuo.
and other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it was dried up because it had not moisture;
7 Aba no bi nso kɔguu nkasɛɛ mu. Ɛfifiriiɛ no, nkasɛɛ no kyekyeree no na ɛwuiɛ.
and other fell in the midst of the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with [it] choked it;
8 Ebi nso kɔguu asase pa mu, ɛnyiniiɛ, soo aba mmɔho ɔha.” Na ɔkaa yei no, ɔka kaa ho sɛ, “Deɛ ɔwɔ aso a ɔbɛtie no, ɔntie.”
and other fell into the good ground, and having sprung up bore fruit a hundredfold. As he said these things he cried, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Na nʼasuafoɔ no bisaa no saa abɛbuo yi ase no,
And his disciples asked him [saying], What may this parable be?
10 ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Mo deɛ, wɔde Onyankopɔn Ahennie ho ahintasɛm ama mo, na afoforɔ deɛ, wɔkasa kyerɛ wɔn abɛbuo mu, “‘sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛhwɛ, nanso wɔrenhunu na wɔbɛte, nanso wɔrente aseɛ.’
And he said, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables, in order that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
11 “Afei, abɛbuo no asekyerɛ ni. Aba no ne Onyankopɔn asɛm.
But the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Aba a ɛguu ɛkwan mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔate Onyankopɔn asɛm no na ɔbonsam bɛhwim firi wɔn akoma mu, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔrennye nni na wɔrennya nkwagyeɛ.
But those by the wayside are those who hear; then comes the devil and takes away the word from their heart that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Aba a ɛguu abotan so no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte asɛm no na wɔde anigyeɛ sɔ mu, nanso ɛntim wɔn mu. Na ɛsiane wɔn gyidie a ɛsua no enti, ɛnkyɛre na asɛm no awu. Na sɛ sɔhwɛ ba wɔn so a, wɔpa aba.
But those upon the rock, those who when they hear receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a time, and in time of trial fall away.
14 Aba a ɛguu nkasɛɛ mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm, na wɔdi so, nanso asetena mu haw ne abɛbrɛsɛ, ahonya ne ewiase afɛfɛdeɛ enti, asɛm no ntumi nyɛ wɔn mu adwuma sɛdeɛ ɛsɛ.
But that that fell where the thorns were, these are they who having heard go away and are choked under cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 Aba a ɛguu asase pa mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔde akoma pa tie asɛmpa no, na wɔdi so, gyina pintinn de abrabɔ pa di ho adanseɛ.
But that in the good ground, these are they who in an honest and good heart, having heard the word keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 “Obi nsɔ kanea na ɔmfa kɛntɛn mmutu so, anaa ɔmfa nhyɛ mpa ase na mmom, ɔde si kaneadua so na ahyerɛn ama wɔn a wɔba mu no.
And no one having lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a couch, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who enter in may see the light.
17 Deɛ ahinta no bɛda adi, na deɛ ɛwɔ kɔkoam no nso ada dwa.
For there is nothing hid which shall not become manifest, nor secret which shall not be known and come to light.
18 Enti deɛ motie no, montie no yie. Obiara a ɔwɔ no wɔbɛma no pii aka ho, na deɛ ɔnni ahe bi no, deɛ ɔsusu sɛ ɛyɛ ne dea no mpo, wɔbɛgye afiri ne nsam.”
Take heed therefore how ye hear; for whosoever has, to him shall be given, and whosoever has not, even what he seems to have shall be taken from him.
19 Ɛda bi, Yesu maame ne ne nuanom pɛɛ sɛ wɔne no kasa, nanso ɛsiane nnipakuo a na wɔatwa ne ho ahyia no enti, wɔantumi ne no ankasa.
And his mother and his brethren came to him, and could not get to him because of the crowd.
20 Obi kɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ ne maame ne ne nuanom gyina nkyɛn hɔ baabi rehwehwɛ no.
And it was told him [saying], Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, wishing to see thee.
21 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Me maame ne me nuanom ne wɔn a wɔtie Onyankopɔn asɛm na wɔdi so.”
But he answering said to them, My mother and my brethren are those who hear the word of God and do [it].
22 Ɛda bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ te kodoɔ mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momma yɛntwa nkɔ asuogya nohoa.” Wɔsiim a wɔrekɔ no,
And it came to pass on one of the days, that he entered into a ship, himself and his disciples; and he said to them, Let us pass over to the other side of the lake; and they set off from shore.
23 Yesu daeɛ. Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu, mframa a ano yɛ den bi bɔ maa nsuo bɛtaa kodoɔ no mu maa kodoɔ no yɛɛ sɛ ɛremem. Yei maa asuafoɔ no akoma tuu yie.
And as they sailed, he fell asleep; and a sudden squall of wind came down on the lake, and they were filled [with water], and were in danger;
24 Asuafoɔ no de hu ne nteateam nyanee no sɛ, “Awurade, Awurade, yɛremem!” Amonom hɔ ara, Yesu sɔre teateaa mframa a ano yɛ den ne asorɔkye no ma ɛyɛɛ dinn.
and coming to [him] they woke him up, saying, Master, master, we perish. But he, rising up, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 Afei, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn na monni gyidie?” Wɔn nyinaa suroeɛ de ahodwirie bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ. “Onipa bɛn ni a mframa a ano yɛ den ne asorɔkye mpo tie no yi?”
And he said to them, Where is your faith? And, being afraid, they were astonished, saying to one another, Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?
26 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no twaa ɛpo no bɛduruu Gerasefoɔ asase a ɛne Galilea di nhwɛanimu no so.
And they arrived in the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 Yesu firii kodoɔ no mu sii fam pɛ, ɔbarima bi a ahonhommɔne ahyɛ no ma akyɛre a ɔda adagya na ɔnte efie, na mmom ɔte amusieeɛ a aboda mu na ɔdeda no bɛhyiaa no.
And as he got out [of the ship] on the land, a certain man out of the city met him, who had demons a long time, and put on no clothes, and did not abide in a house, but in the tombs.
28 Ɔhunuu Yesu no, ɔteaam, kotoo ne nan ase sane teateaam sɛ, “Yesu, Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn Ba, ɛdeɛn na wo ne me wɔ yɛ? Mesrɛ wo, nyɛ me ayayadeɛ biara.”
But seeing Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus Son of the Most High God? I beseech thee torment me not.
29 Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, ɛfiri sɛ, na Yesu ateatea ahonhommɔne no sɛ wɔmfiri ne mu. Saa ahonhommɔne yi taa ka no na sɛ wɔde ahoma kyekyere ne nsa ne ne nan mpo a, ɔtumi tete mu ma ahonhommɔne no pam no kɔ wiram.
For he had commanded the unclean spirit to go out from the man. For very often it had seized him; and he had been bound, kept with chains and fetters; and breaking the bonds he was driven by the demon into the deserts.
30 Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Wo din de sɛn?” Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Ɛdɔm.” Ɛfiri sɛ na ahonhommɔne ahyɛ no ma.
And Jesus asked him saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: for many demons had entered into him.
And they besought him that he would not command them to go away into the bottomless pit. (Abyssos g12)
32 Saa ɛberɛ no mu na mprako bi redidi wɔ bepɔ no nkyɛn mu baabi. Ahohommɔne no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔmma wɔn ho ɛkwan na wɔnkɔwura mprako no mu. Na ɔmaa wɔn ho kwan.
And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain, and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into those; and he suffered them.
33 Enti ahonhommɔne no firii ɔbarima no mu kɔwuraa mprako no mu ma wɔbɔɔ kiridi, sianee bepɔ no kɔguu ɔtadeɛ no mu wuwuiɛ.
And the demons, going out from the man, entered into the swine, and the herd rushed down the precipice into the lake, and were choked.
34 Wɔn a wɔhwɛ mprako no so no hunuu deɛ asi no, wɔde hu ne ahopopoɔ tutuu mmirika kɔbɔɔ amaneɛ wɔ kurom maa asɛm no trɛeɛ wɔ mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa.
But they that fed [them], seeing what had happened, fled, and told [it] to the city and to the country.
35 Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm no bɔɔ twi kɔhwɛɛ deɛ asi. Wɔduruu deɛ Yesu wɔ no, wɔhunuu ɔbarima no sɛ ne ho atɔ no a ɔfira ntoma te Yesu nkyɛn. Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwirii wɔn.
And they went out to see what had happened, and came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and sensible, at the feet of Jesus. And they were afraid.
36 Na wɔn a wɔhunuu ɛkwan a Yesu faa so saa ɔbarima no yadeɛ no bɔɔ wɔn a wɔbaa hɔ no amaneɛ.
And they also who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been healed.
37 Ehu hyɛɛ Gerasefoɔ a na wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa ma ma wɔsrɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔmfiri wɔn nkyɛn hɔ nkɔ. Yei enti, Yesu kɔtenaa kodoɔ no mu sane tware kɔɔ asuogya hɔ nohoa.
And all the multitude of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were possessed with great fear; and he, entering into the ship, returned.
38 Ansa na Yesu rebɛfiri hɔ no, ɔbarima a ɔtuu ahonhommɔne firii ne mu no srɛɛ no sɛ ɔne no bɛkɔ. Nanso, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ,
But the man out of whom the demons had gone besought him that he might be with him. But he sent him away, saying,
39 “Kɔ na kɔdi deɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ ama wo no ho adanseɛ kyerɛ wo manfoɔ.” Ɔbarima no firii hɔ kɔdii anwanwadeɛ a Yesu ayɛ ama no no ho adanseɛ kyerɛɛ kurom hɔfoɔ nyinaa.
Return to thine house and relate how great things God has done for thee. And he went away through the whole city, publishing how great things Jesus had done for him.
40 Yesu duruu asuogya hɔ no, nnipakuo no de anigyeɛ hyiaa no kwan, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔatwɛn no abrɛ.
And it came to pass when Jesus returned, the crowd received him gladly, for they were all expecting him.
41 Ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Yairo a na ɔyɛ Yudafoɔ hyiadan mu panin baa ne nkyɛn, bɛbuu no nkotodwe, srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔne no nkɔ ne fie
And behold, a man came, whose name was Jairus, and he was [a] ruler of the synagogue, and falling at the feet of Jesus besought him to come to his house,
42 na ne babaa korɔ a wadi bɛyɛ mfeɛ dumienu reyɛ awu. Ɛberɛ a Yesu rekɔ no na nnipakuo no kyere ne so.
because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as he went the crowds thronged him.
43 Ɔbaa bi a mogya atu no mfirinhyia dumienu a obiara ntumi nsa no yadeɛ no,
And a woman who had a flux of blood since twelve years, who, having spent all her living on physicians, could not be cured by any one,
44 firii Yesu akyi sɔɔ nʼatadeɛ ano. Amonom hɔ ara, mogya a ɛtu no no twaeɛ.
coming up behind, touched the hem of his garment, and immediately her flux of blood stopped.
45 Yesu bisaa sɛ, “Hwan na ɔsɔɔ mʼatadeɛ ano no?” Obiara buaa sɛ, ɛnyɛ ɔno. Yei maa Petro kaa sɛ, “Awurade, na sɛ nnipa no akyere wo so.”
And Jesus said, Who has touched me? But all denying, Peter and those with him said, Master, the crowds close thee in and press upon thee, and sayest thou, Who has touched me?
46 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Dabi, obi asɔ mʼatadeɛ mu ɛfiri sɛ, mete nka sɛ tumi bi afiri me mu.”
And Jesus said, Some one has touched me, for I have known that power has gone out from me.
47 Ɔbaa no hunuu sɛ ɔhinta a ɛrenyɛ yie, ɛno enti, ɔde hu ne ahopopoɔ bɛbuu Yesu nkotodwe wɔ nnipa no nyinaa anim, kyerɛɛ no deɛ enti a ɔsɔɔ ne mu ne sɛdeɛ ne ho atɔ no no.
And the woman, seeing that she was not hid, came trembling, and falling down before him declared before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was immediately healed.
48 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Me ba, wo gyidie ama wo ho ayɛ wo den. Fa asomdwoeɛ kɔ.”
And he said to her, [Be of good courage, ] daughter; thy faith has healed thee; go in peace.
49 Yesu gu so rekasa no, obi firi Yairo efie bɛka kyerɛɛ Yairo sɛ, “Wo babaa no anya awu enti nha Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no bio.”
While he was yet speaking, comes some one from the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; do not trouble the teacher.
50 Yesu tee asɛm no, ɔsee Yairo sɛ, “Nsuro, gye di, na wo babaa no bɛnyane anya nkwa.”
But Jesus, hearing it, answered him saying, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be made well.
51 Ɔduruu efie hɔ no, wamma obiara anka ne ho ankɔ ɛdan a abɔfra no da mu no mu gye Petro, Yohane, Yakobo ne abɔfra no awofoɔ nko ara.
And when he came to the house he suffered no one to go in but Peter and John and James and the father of the child and the mother.
52 Na nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa resu, di awerɛhoɔ. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnsu, ɔnwuiɛ na wada.”
And all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said, Do not weep, for she has not died, but sleeps.
53 Wɔseree no dii ne ho fɛw, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔn deɛ, wɔnim pefee sɛ wawu.
And they derided him, knowing that she had died.
54 Yesu sɔɔ ne nsa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Me ba, sɔre!”
But he, having turned them all out and taking hold of her hand, cried saying, Child, arise.
55 Amonom hɔ ara, ɔsɔreeɛ na Yesu kaa sɛ wɔmma no biribi nni.
And her spirit returned, and immediately she rose up; and he commanded [something] to eat to be given to her.
56 Nʼawofoɔ no ho dwirii wɔn yie nanso Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano sɛ, wɔnnka deɛ asi no nkyerɛ obiara.
And her parents were amazed; but he enjoined them to tell no one what had happened.
