< Marko 11 >
1 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no rebɛn Yerusalem, na wɔduruu Betfage ne Betania a ɛwɔ Ngo Bepɔ no ho no, Yesu somaa nʼasuafoɔ no mu baanu, dii wɔn anim ɛkan.
When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
2 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔ akuraa a ɛwɔ hɔ no ase. Sɛ moduru hɔ a, mobɛhunu sɛ wɔasa afunumu ba bi a wɔntenaa ne so da ahoma. Monsane no, na momfa no mmrɛ me.
and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has yet sat. Untie him, and bring him.
3 Na sɛ obi bisa mo sɛ ɛdeɛn na moreyɛ a, monka no tiawa sɛ, ‘Ne ho hia Awurade, na ɔbɛsane de no aba seesei ara.’”
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'Because the Lord needs it,' and he will send it back here at once."
4 Asuafoɔ baanu no siim. Wɔkɔhunuu sɛ aboa no sa efie bi aboboano. Enti, wɔsanee no.
They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
5 Wɔgu so resane no no, nnipa bi a wɔgyina nkyɛn bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na moresane afunumu ba no?”
Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?"
6 Wɔkaa asɛm a Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no kyerɛɛ nnipa no ma wɔtee wɔn aseɛ.
They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
7 Wɔde afunumu ba no brɛɛ Yesu, maa asuafoɔ no de wɔn ntoma guu aboa no so, maa Yesu tenaa ne so.
They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
8 Nnipakuo a wɔwɔ hɔ no bi de wɔn ntoma sesɛɛ ɛkwan a ɔde aboa no nam so no so. Ebinom nso pempan nnua mman de sesɛɛ ɛkwan no mu saa ara.
Many spread their garments on the way, and others spread branches which they had cut from the fields.
9 Na Yesu di nnipakuo no mfimfini a wɔn nyinaa reteateam sɛ, “Hosiana!” “Nhyira ne deɛ ɔnam Awurade din mu reba!”
Those who went in front, and those who followed, shouted, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
10 “Animuonyam nka Onyankopɔn sɛ yɛn agya Dawid ahennie reba.” “Hosiana wɔ ɔsorosoro!”
Blessed is the kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest."
11 Yesu kɔduruu Yerusalem no, ɔkɔɔ asɔredan no mu. Ɔhwɛɛ biribiara a ɛwɔ hɔ dinn ansa na ɔrefiri hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, na onwunu redwo enti ɔne asuafoɔ dumienu no kɔɔ Betania.
And he entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 Adeɛ kyee anɔpa a wɔrefiri Betania hɔ no, ɛkɔm dee no.
The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
13 Wɔkɔɔ kakra no, ɔhunuu sɛ borɔdɔma dua bi si hɔ a ayɛ kusuu. Ɔkɔɔ hɔ kɔhwɛɛ sɛ aduaba no bi wɔ so anaa. Nanso, ɔduruu hɔ no, ɔhunuu sɛ nhahan nko ara na ɛwɔ so. Saa ɛberɛ no nso, na ɛnyɛ ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ borɔdɔma no so.
Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
14 Nanso, Yesu domee borɔdɔma dua no sɛ, “Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, worenso aba bio!” Asuafoɔ no tee asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no. (aiōn )
Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." and his disciples heard it. (aiōn )
15 Yesu sane baa Yerusalem no, ɔkɔɔ asɔrefie hɔ. Ɔduruu hɔ no, ɔpamoo adwadifoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa, kaa sikasesafoɔ apono nyinaa guu fam, bubuu pata a wɔtɔn mmorɔnoma wɔ mu no nyinaa,
They came to Jerusalem, and he entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.
16 sii ɛkwan sɛ obiara mmɛdi dwa wɔ hɔ bio.
He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
17 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, ‘Mʼasɔrefie yɛ beaeɛ a wɔbɔ mpaeɛ,’ nanso mo deɛ, mode hɔ ayɛ akorɔmfoɔ atenaeɛ.”
He taught, saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?' But you have made it a den of robbers."
18 Asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Yudafoɔ mpanimfoɔ tee deɛ Yesu ayɛ no, wɔbɔɔ ne ho pɔ, pɛɛ ɛkwan a wɔbɛfa so ayi no afiri hɔ. Asɛm a na ɛha wɔn ne sɛ, sɛ wɔanhwɛ no yie nso a, ɛde basabasa bɛba, ɛfiri sɛ, na nnipa bebree agye Yesu nkyerɛkyerɛ no atom.
The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching.
19 Sɛdeɛ na wɔtaa yɛ no, anwummerɛ no ara, wɔfirii kuro no mu.
When evening came, they went out of the city.
20 Anɔpa a asuafoɔ no retwam wɔ borɔdɔma dua a Yesu domee no no ho no, wohunuu sɛ awu.
As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
21 Petro kaee asɛm a Yesu ka de domee dua no no, ɔteaam sɛ, “Hwɛ, Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ! Borɔdɔma dua a wodomee no no awu!”
Peter, remembering, said to him, "Teacher, look. The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."
22 Yesu nso ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Sɛ mowɔ gyidie wɔ Onyankopɔn mu a,
Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
23 anka mobɛtumi aka akyerɛ Ngo Bepɔ yi sɛ, ‘Tutu kɔgu ɛpo mu,’ na ɛbɛtutu akɔgu mu nso. Monnye nni; mommma mo gyidie nhinhim.
Truly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
24 Montie deɛ mereka yi. Biribiara a mobɛbisa wɔ mpaeɛbɔ mu no, monnye nni sɛ mo nsa aka, na ɛbɛyɛ hɔ ama mo.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 Na sɛ morebɔ mpaeɛ a, deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, sɛ mowɔ obi ho asɛm a, momfa nkyɛ no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mo Agya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no nso de mo bɔne bɛkyɛ mo.
Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your wrongdoing.
26 Na sɛ moamfa bɔne ankyɛ a, saa ara na mo Agya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no nso remfa mo bɔne nkyɛ mo.”
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your wrongdoing."
27 Wɔbaa Yerusalem bio. Wɔkɔɔ asɔrefie hɔ no, asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Yudafoɔ mpanin baa ne nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ,
They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,
28 “Tumi bɛn na wogyinaa so pamoo adwadifoɔ no?”
and they began saying to him, "By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority to do these things?"
29 Yesu nso buaa wɔn sɛ, “Merebɛbisa mo asɛm baako bi na mommua me!
Jesus said to them, "I will also ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 Onyankopɔn na ɔsomaa Yohane Osubɔni, anaa ɛnyɛ ɔno? Mommua me!”
The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from people? Answer me."
31 Wɔdwennwenee ho kaa sɛ, “Sɛ yɛka sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn na ɔsomaa no a,’ wɔbɛbisa yɛn deɛ enti a yɛannye deɛ Yohane kaeɛ no anni.
They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say, 'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
32 Na sɛ yɛka sɛ, ‘Ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔsomaa no nso a,’ ɛdɔm no bɛha yɛn. Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn nyinaa nim sɛ Yohane yɛ odiyifoɔ.”
If we should say, 'From people'"—they feared the crowd, for all held John to really be a prophet.
33 Enti, wɔn mmuaeɛ a wɔmaeɛ ara ne sɛ, “Yɛrentumi mmua. Yɛnnim.” Ɛhɔ ara na Yesu nso ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ monnim de a, me nso meremma mo asɛmmisa no ho mmuaeɛ!”
They answered and said to Jesus, "We do not know." Jesus said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."
