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.
Then he arose and came into the confines of Judea, through the country upon the Jordan. Again multitudes resorted to him; and again, as his custom was, he taught them.
2 Farisifoɔ bi baa ne nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Wopene awaregyaeɛ so anaa?” Wɔbisaa no yei de sɔɔ no hwɛɛ.
And some Pharisees came, who, to try him, asked him, Is it lawful for the husband to divorce his wife?
3 Yesu nso bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na Mose ka faa awaregyaeɛ ho?”
He answering, said to them, What precept has Moses given you on this subject?
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.”
They replied, Moses has permitted us to write her a bill of divorcement, and dismiss her.
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.
Jesus answering, said to them, Because of your untractable disposition, Moses gave you this permission.
6 Ɛfiri adebɔ ahyɛaseɛ na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔbarima ne ɔbaa.
But from the beginning, at the creation, God made them a male and a female.
7 Yei enti na ɔbarima bɛgya nʼagya ne ne maame,
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall adhere to his wife,
8 na ɔde ne ho akɔbɔ ne yere ho, na wɔn baanu no ayɛ honam korɔ.
and they two shall be one flesh. They are, therefore, not longer two, but one flesh.
9 Na deɛ Onyankopɔn aka abom no, ɛnsɛ sɛ onipa tete mu.”
What then God has conjoined, let no man separate.
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 anew concerning this matter.
11 Ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ obi gyaa ne yere awadeɛ na ɔsane ware obi foforɔ a, na wabɔ adwaman.
He said to them, Whosoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits 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 divorce her husband, and marry another, she commits 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.
Then they brought children to him, that he might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who 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.
Jesus perceiving this, was offended, and said, Allow the children to come to me, do not hinder them; 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.”
Indeed, I say to you, whosoever will not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall never enter it.
16 Na ɔyɛɛ wɔn atuu, de ne nsa guu wɔn so, hyiraa wɔn.
Then taking them up in his arms, and laying his hands upon them, he 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)
As he went out into the road, one came running to him, who, kneeling, asked him, Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
18 Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn na wofrɛ me onipa pa? Obiara nyɛ onipa papa gye ɔbaako; ɔne Onyankopɔn.
Jesus answered, Why do you call me good? God alone is good.
19 Ɛfa wʼasɛmmisa no ho nso, wonim mmaransɛm no: Nni awu, mmɔ adwaman, mmɔ korɔno, nni atorɔ, nsisi, di wʼagya ne wo maame ni.”
Do you know the commandments? Do not commit adultery; do not commit murder; do not steal; do not give false testimony; do no injury; honor your father and mother.
20 Aberanteɛ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, yeinom nyinaa mefiri me mmɔfraase na medii so.”
The other replied, Rabbi, I have observed all these from my childhood.
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.”
Jesus, looking upon him, loved him, and said to him, In one thing, nevertheless, you are deficient. Go, sell all that you have, and give the price to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come, and follow me, carrying the cross.
22 Aberanteɛ no tee saa asɛm yi no, nʼanim sesaeɛ, na ɔde awerɛhoɔ kɔeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔwɔ ahonyadeɛ bebree.
But he was troubled at this answer, and went away sorrowful; 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!”
Then Jesus looking around him, said to his disciples, How difficult it is for the wealthy to enter 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?
The disciples were astonished at his words; but Jesus resuming the discourse, said, Children, how difficult is it for them, who confide in wealth, to enter 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 pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
26 Asuafoɔ no ho dwiri wɔn mmorosoɔ na wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ na hwan na wɔbɛgye no nkwa?”
At this they were still more amazed, and said one to another, 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.”
Jesus looking upon them, said, To men it is impossible, but not to God; for to 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 took occasion to say, As for us, we have forsaken all, and followed you.
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,
Jesus answering, said, Indeed, I say to you, there is none who shall have forsaken his his house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, for my sake and the gospel's;
31 Na adikanfoɔ pii bɛdi akyire, na akyikafoɔ abɛdi ɛkan.”
But many shall be first, who are last, and last, who are 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.
As they were on the road to Jerusalem, Jesus walking before them, a panic seized them, and they followed him with terror. Then taking the twelve aside, he told them again what would befall 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.
Behold, says he, we are going to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man shall be delivered to the chief priests, who will condemn him to die, and 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.”
who will mock him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and kill him; but 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.”
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, accosted him, saying, Rabbi, we beg you would grant us what we purpose to ask.
36 Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na mopɛ sɛ meyɛ ma mo?”
He said to them, what would you have me grant you?
37 Wobuaa sɛ, “Ma yɛn mu baako ntena wo nifa so, na ɔbaako nso ntena wo benkum so wɔ wʼahennie mu hɔ!”
They answered, That when you shall have attained your glory, one of us may sit at your right hand, and the other at your left.
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?”
Jesus replied, You know not what you ask. Can you drink such a cup as I am to drink; and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo?
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;
They answered, We can. Jesus said to them, You shall indeed drink such a cup, as I am to drink, and undergo an immersion like that which I must undergo;
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 at my right hand, and left, I can not give, unless to those for whom it is appointed.
41 Asuafoɔ a aka no tee deɛ Yakobo ne Yohane kɔbisaeɛ no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ.
The ten hearing this, conceived indignation against 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 having called them together, said to them, You know that those who are accounted the princes of the nations, domineer 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 it must not be so amongst you. On the contrary, whosoever would be great amongst you, shall be your servant;
44 Na obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ne nuanom so panin no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ wɔn nyinaa akoa.
and whosoever would be the chief, shall be the slave 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 served, but to serve, 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.
Then they came to Jericho. Afterward, as he was departing thence, with his disciples, and a great crowd, blind Bartimeus, son of Timeus, who sat by the way-side begging,
47 Ɛberɛ a Bartimeo tee sɛ Yesu Nasareni na ɔretwam no, ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ teateaam sɛ, “Dawid Ba Yesu, hunu me mmɔbɔ!”
hearing that it was Jesus the Nazarene, cried, saying, Jesus Son of David, have pity upon me!
48 Nnipa no bi teateaa no sɛ, “Mua wʼano!” Nanso ɔkɔɔ so teateaam denden sɛ, “Dawid ba, hunu me mmɔbɔ!”
Many charged him to be silent, but he cried still the louder, Son of David, have pity upon 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!”
Jesus stopping, ordered them to call him. Accordingly they called the blind man, saying to him, Take courage; arise, he calls you.
50 Bartimeo to ne ntoma guiɛ, sɔre baa Yesu nkyɛn.
Then throwing down his mantle, he sprang up, and went to Jesus.
51 Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wopɛ sɛ meyɛ mema wo?” Onifirani no buaa sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, mepɛ sɛ mehunu adeɛ!”
Jesus addressing him, said, What do you wish me to do for you? Rabboni, answered the blind man, to give me 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.
Jesus said to him, Go; your faith has cured you. Immediately he recovered his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
