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 came into the coasts of Judea, through the country beyond Jordan: and the people resorted to 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, "if it were 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 permitted a man to write a bill of divorce, 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 replied, He wrote this precept on account of your cruel tempers:
6 Ɛfiri adebɔ ahyɛaseɛ na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔbarima ne ɔbaa.
but from the beginning of the world, God created 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,
8 na ɔde ne ho akɔbɔ ne yere ho, na wɔn baanu no ayɛ honam korɔ.
and be joined to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh: so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Na deɛ Onyankopɔn aka abom no, ɛnsɛ sɛ onipa tete mu.”
Therefore let not man separate what God hath joined together.
10 Akyire no a ɔne nʼasuafoɔ no wɔ efie no, asuafoɔ no bisaa no saa asɛm korɔ no ara bio.
And when they were in the house his disciples asked Him again about it:
11 Ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ obi gyaa ne yere awadeɛ na ɔsane ware obi foforɔ a, na wabɔ adwaman.
and He told them, Whoever putteth away his wife and marrieth 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 be divorced from 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 to Him little children that He might touch them: and the 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.
Which Jesus observing, was much displeased, and said to them, Let the children come to me; and hinder 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 tell you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall by no means enter into it.
16 Na ɔyɛɛ wɔn atuu, de ne nsa guu wɔn so, hyiraa wɔn.
And He took them in his arms, and 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 as he went out into the way, there came one running and kneeling 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 dost thou call 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, Do not defraud, Honour thy father and thy 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 kept 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 looked upon him with affection, and said to him, One thing thou wantest; go, sell all that thou hast, and give it 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.
But he was sad at that saying, 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!”
And Jesus looking round about saith to his disciples, How difficultly 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 repeating it, 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 pass 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 exceedingly amazed, saying 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.”
But 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 said to Him, Behold we have left all, and 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 tell you, there is no one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children,
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 at it, and afraid to follow Him. And again taking the twelve aside, He began to tell them what things should befal 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 are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, 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.”
and they will insult Him, and scourge Him, and spit upon Him, and put Him to death: but on 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 come to Him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, Master, we desire that thou wouldest do for us what we shall request:
36 Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na mopɛ sɛ meyɛ ma mo?”
and He said to them, What do ye desire me to 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 that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, 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, We can. And Jesus said unto them, The cup indeed which I drink, ye shall drink of; and with the baptism, that I am baptized with, 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, is not mine to give, but for whom it is prepared.
41 Asuafoɔ a aka no tee deɛ Yakobo ne Yohane kɔbisaeɛ no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ.
And when the other ten heard it, they were provoked at 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 said unto them, Ye know that those who rule among the Gentiles, lord it over them, and their grandees 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 shall not be so among you: but whoever would 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 whoever of you would be first 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 the Son of man came not to be ministred 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 was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, 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!”
And hearing 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 rebuked him, that he might hold his peace: but he cried out so much the more, Thou son of David, have pity 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 stopt, and ordered him to be called: so they called the blind man, and said to him, Be of good courage, rise up, He calleth thee.
50 Bartimeo to ne ntoma guiɛ, sɔre baa Yesu nkyɛn.
And he threw off his outer garment, and arose, 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 said to him, What dost thou desire that I should do for thee? And the blind man said to Him, Lord, that I may recover 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 has cured thee. And he immediately recovered his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
