Marko 10
1 Afei, Yesu firii Galilea twa baa Yudea fam no hɔ wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan agya. Nnipakuo baa ne nkyɛn, na sɛdeɛ ɔtaa yɛ no, ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn.
AND he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judæa by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
2 Farisifoɔ bi baa ne nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Wopene awaregyaeɛ so anaa?” Wɔbisaa no yei de sɔɔ no hwɛɛ.
And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3 Yesu nso bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na Mose ka faa awaregyaeɛ ho?”
And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
4 Wɔbuaa sɛ, “Mose kaa sɛ ɛyɛ sɛ wɔgyae awadeɛ. Nʼasɛm a ɔkaeɛ ne sɛ, sɛ ɔbarima bi pɛ sɛ ɔgyaa ne yere awadeɛ a, ɔntwerɛ awaregyaeɛ krataa mfa mma ne yere no.”
And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
5 Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɔkaa saa? Merebɛkyerɛ mo deɛ enti a ɔkaa saa. Esiane mo akoma a apirim no enti na ɔkaa saa kyerɛɛ mo.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6 Ɛfiri adebɔ ahyɛaseɛ na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔbarima ne ɔbaa.
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 Yei enti na ɔbarima bɛgya nʼagya ne ne maame,
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 na ɔde ne ho akɔbɔ ne yere ho, na wɔn baanu no ayɛ honam korɔ.
And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 Na deɛ Onyankopɔn aka abom no, ɛnsɛ sɛ onipa tete mu.”
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10 Akyire no a ɔne nʼasuafoɔ no wɔ efie no, asuafoɔ no bisaa no saa asɛm korɔ no ara bio.
And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
11 Ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ obi gyaa ne yere awadeɛ na ɔsane ware obi foforɔ a, na wabɔ adwaman.
And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12 Na sɛ ɔyere gyaa ne kunu awadeɛ, na ɔsane ware a, ɔno nso abɔ adwaman saa ara.”
And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13 Ɛda bi, awofoɔ bi de mmɔfra nkumaa brɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔnhyira wɔn, nanso nʼasuafoɔ no pampam wɔn a wɔde mmɔfra no baeɛ no, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔnnha no.
And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14 Yesu hunuu deɛ nʼasuafoɔ no ayɛ no, anyɛ no dɛ na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momma mmɔfra no ɛkwan na wɔmmra me nkyɛn, na monnsi wɔn ɛkwan, na yeinom sei na Onyankopɔn Ahennie no yɛ wɔn dea.
But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, obiara a ɔrennye Onyankopɔn Ahennie no sɛ abɔfra no, ɔrentumi nhyɛne mu.”
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16 Na ɔyɛɛ wɔn atuu, de ne nsa guu wɔn so, hyiraa wɔn.
And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
17 Na ɔsiim sɛ ɔrekɔ baabi foforɔ no, ɔbarima bi tutuu mmirika baa ne nkyɛn bɛbuu no nkotodwe, bisaa no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ pa, Ɛdeɛn na menyɛ na manya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ?” (aiōnios g166)
And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn na wofrɛ me onipa pa? Obiara nyɛ onipa papa gye ɔbaako; ɔne Onyankopɔn.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
19 Ɛfa wʼasɛmmisa no ho nso, wonim mmaransɛm no: Nni awu, mmɔ adwaman, mmɔ korɔno, nni atorɔ, nsisi, di wʼagya ne wo maame ni.”
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
20 Aberanteɛ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, yeinom nyinaa mefiri me mmɔfraase na medii so.”
And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
21 Yesu hwɛɛ aberanteɛ yi dinn, nyaa ɔdɔ bi maa no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Aka wo adeɛ baako. Kɔ na kɔtɔn biribiara a wowɔ, na fa sika no ma ahiafoɔ, na wobɛnya agyapadeɛ wɔ ɔsoro, na bra bɛdi mʼakyi.”
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
22 Aberanteɛ no tee saa asɛm yi no, nʼanim sesaeɛ, na ɔde awerɛhoɔ kɔeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔwɔ ahonyadeɛ bebree.
And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
23 Ɔrekɔ no, Yesu hwɛɛ no na ɔdanee ne ho ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ den ma osikani sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu!”
And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
24 Asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no maa asuafoɔ no ho dwirii wɔn. Yesu sane kaa bio sɛ, “Me mma, sɛ moahunu den a ɛyɛ ma wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonyadeɛ sɛ wɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie mu?
And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 Na ɛyɛ mmerɛ sɛ yoma bɛfa paneɛ aniwa mu sene sɛ osikani bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie mu.”
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Asuafoɔ no ho dwiri wɔn mmorosoɔ na wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ na hwan na wɔbɛgye no nkwa?”
And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
27 Yesu hwɛɛ wɔn dinn kaa sɛ, “Onipa fam deɛ, yei rentumi mma mu, na Onyankopɔn fam deɛ, biribiara bɛtumi aba mu.”
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
28 Afei, Petro hyɛɛ aseɛ kenkanee nneɛma a ɔne asuafoɔ no agya abɛdi Yesu akyi. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛagya biribiara abɛdi wʼakyi.”
Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
29 Yesu nso buaa no sɛ, “Merema mo ate aseɛ sɛ, obi nni hɔ a, me enti wagya efie, nuammarimanom, nuammaanom, maame, agya ne mma anaasɛ agyapadeɛ a ɔbɛkɔ akɔka Asɛmpa no,
And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,
31 Na adikanfoɔ pii bɛdi akyire, na akyikafoɔ abɛdi ɛkan.”
But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
32 Afei, wɔsiim sɛ wɔrekɔ Yerusalem a na Yesu di wɔn ɛkan; na ɛberɛ a asuafoɔ no di nʼakyi no, ehu ne suro kaa wɔn. Yesu twee wɔn gyinaa nkyɛn, na ɔsane kaa nneɛma a, sɛ wɔduru Yerusalem a, ɛbɛba ne so no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
33 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ yɛduru hɔ a, wɔbɛyi me, Onipa Ba no ama asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, na wɔabu me kumfɔ, na wɔde me ahyɛ Roma aban nsa, na wɔakum me.
Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
34 Wɔbɛdi me ho fɛw, na wɔatete ntasuo agu me so, na wɔde mpire atwa me mmaa, na wɔakum me, na nnansa so no, masɔre bio.”
And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
35 Afei, Sebedeo mma Yakobo ne Yohane baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, yɛpɛ sɛ woyɛ yɛn adɔeɛ bi.”
And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
36 Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na mopɛ sɛ meyɛ ma mo?”
And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37 Wobuaa sɛ, “Ma yɛn mu baako ntena wo nifa so, na ɔbaako nso ntena wo benkum so wɔ wʼahennie mu hɔ!”
They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
38 Nanso, Yesu maa wɔn mmuaeɛ sɛ, “Monnim deɛ mobisa no! Mobɛtumi anom awerɛhoɔ kuruwa nwononwono a ɛsɛ sɛ menom ano no anaa? Anaasɛ, mobɛtumi ama wɔde amanehunu asubɔ no abɔ mo asu?”
But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39 Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛbɛtumi!” Na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mobɛtumi anom me kuruwa ano, na wɔde asubɔ a wɔde bɔ me no abɔ mo;
And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
40 nanso menni tumi sɛ meyi wɔn a wɔbɛtena me nifa anaa me benkum so no. Onyankopɔn nko ara na ɔde saa afa no bɛma wɔn a wɔasiesie hɔ ama wɔn no.”
But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
41 Asuafoɔ a aka no tee deɛ Yakobo ne Yohane kɔbisaeɛ no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ.
And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.
42 Enti, Yesu frɛɛ wɔn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monim sɛ ahene ne atumfoɔ a wɔwɔ ewiase no di wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn ase no so,
But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
43 nanso mo deɛ, ɛnte saa wɔ mo ho. Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ kɛse wɔ mo mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ mo ɔsomfoɔ.
But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
44 Na obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ne nuanom so panin no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ wɔn nyinaa akoa.
And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
45 Me a meyɛ Onipa Ba no, mamma sɛ wɔnsom me na mmom, mebaeɛ sɛ merebɛboa afoforɔ, na mede me kra ayɛ mpata ama nnipa pii.”
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
46 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no bɛduruu Yeriko. Wɔrefi kuro no mu no, nnipakuo tu dii wɔn akyi. Saa ɛberɛ a Yesu retwa mu no, na onifirani Bartimeo a ne din nkyerɛaseɛ ne “Timoteo ba” no te kwankyɛn resrɛsrɛ adeɛ.
And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimæus, the son of Timæus, sat by the highway side begging.
47 Ɛberɛ a Bartimeo tee sɛ Yesu Nasareni na ɔretwam no, ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ teateaam sɛ, “Dawid Ba Yesu, hunu me mmɔbɔ!”
And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
48 Nnipa no bi teateaa no sɛ, “Mua wʼano!” Nanso ɔkɔɔ so teateaam denden sɛ, “Dawid ba, hunu me mmɔbɔ!”
And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
49 Ɛberɛ a Yesu tee ne nne no, ɔgyina kaa sɛ, “Momfrɛ no mma me.” Wɔfrɛɛ onifirani no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma wo bo ntɔ wo yam, sɔre na ɔrefrɛ wo!”
And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50 Bartimeo to ne ntoma guiɛ, sɔre baa Yesu nkyɛn.
And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
51 Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wopɛ sɛ meyɛ mema wo?” Onifirani no buaa sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, mepɛ sɛ mehunu adeɛ!”
And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
52 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ, na wo gyidie agye wo.” Na ntɛm ara onifirani no hunuu adeɛ, na ɔdii Yesu akyi.
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
