Marko 12
1 Yesu nam mmɛbuo so kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ: “Ɛda bi, okuafoɔ bi yɛɛ bobefuo, gyee ban faa ho, na ɔtuu amena bi a wɔkyi bobe mu nsuo wɔ mu, na ɔsii ɔwɛn aban wɔ mu. Afei, ɔde afuo no gyaa akuafoɔ bi, na ɔtuu ɛkwan.
And he began to speake vnto them in parables, A certaine man planted a vineyard, and copassed it with an hedge, and digged a pit for the winepresse, and built a tower in it, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange countrey.
2 Ɛduruu ɛberɛ a bobe no bereeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔte no, ɔsomaa ne ho onipa bi sɛ ɔnkɔgye ne kyɛfa mmrɛ no.
And at the time, he sent to the husbandmen a seruant, that he might receiue of the husbandmen of the fruite of the vineyard.
3 Nanso, akuafoɔ no boroo no, ma ɔde ne nsapan sane kɔeɛ.
But they tooke him, and beat him, and sent him away emptie.
4 Okuafoɔ no sane somaa onipa foforɔ kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn, na ɔno nso, wɔboroo no, pirapiraa no sene deɛ ɔdi ɛkan no.
And againe he sent vnto them another seruant, and at him they cast stones, and brake his head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
5 Onipa a ɔsomaa no bio no deɛ, wɔkumm no. Afoforɔ a akyire no wɔkɔeɛ no nso, wɔhwee ebinom, na wɔkumm ebinom nso.
And againe he sent another, and him they slew, and many other, beating some, and killing some.
6 “Nanso, na aka ɔbaako a ɔyɛ ne ba a ɔdɔ no. Ɔsomaa ɔno nso kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn, susuu sɛ wɔbɛfɛre no de anidie ama no.
Yet had he one sonne, his deare beloued: him also he sent the last vnto them, saying, They will reuerence my sonne.
7 “Nanso, ɛberɛ a akuafoɔ no hunuu no sɛ ɔreba no, wɔkaa sɛ, ‘Ɔdedifoɔ no na ɔreba no. Momma yɛnkum no, na agyapadeɛ no ayɛ yɛn dea!’
But ye husbandmen said among themselues, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and the inheritance shalbe ours.
8 Wɔkyeree no, kumm no, twee no firii bobe turom hɔ kɔtoo no twenee baabi.
So they tooke him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 “Mogye di sɛ, sɛ afu wura no ba a ɛdeɛn na ɔbɛyɛ akuafoɔ no? Ɔbɛba abɛkum wɔn, na ɔde afuo no ama nnipa foforɔ.
What shall then the Lord of the vineyard doe? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and giue the vineyard to others.
10 Monnkanee yei wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no mu pɛn sɛ: “‘Ɛboɔ a adansifoɔ apo no, ɛno ara na abɛyɛ ɛdan no ntweaso tiboɔ;
Haue ye not read so much as this Scripture? The stone which the builders did refuse, is made the head of the corner.
11 Awurade na wayɛ yei, na ɛyɛ nwanwa wɔ yɛn ani so?’”
This was done of the Lord, and it is marueilous in our eyes.
12 Na ɛsiane saa bɛ a ɔbuiɛ no enti, Yudafoɔ mpanin no pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere no, ɛfiri sɛ, wohunuu sɛ wɔn ho asɛm na ɔreka no a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, wɔne saa akuafoɔ atirimuɔdenfoɔ no. Nanso na wɔsuro dɔm no. Yei ma wɔgyaee no, na wɔfirii hɔ kɔeɛ.
Then they went about to take him, but they feared the people: for they perceiued that he spake that parable against them: therefore they left him, and went their way.
13 Wɔsomaa Farisifoɔ ne Herodefoɔ bi baa Yesu nkyɛn sɛ wɔne no mmɛkasa, na wɔnam nʼanom asɛm so anya no akyere no.
And they sent vnto him certaine of the Pharises, and of ye Herodians that they might take him in his talke.
14 Wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, yɛnim sɛ woyɛ ɔnokwafoɔ a, wotaa ka nokorɛ. Deɛ onipa ka no ntumi nnane wʼadwene. Afei, wokyerɛkyerɛ nnipa Onyankopɔn akwan. Yɛpɛ sɛ yɛbisa wo sɛ, ɛyɛ sɛ wɔyi toɔ ma Roma Hempɔn Kaesare anaa ɛnyɛ?”
And when they came, they saide vnto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou considerest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God truely, Is it lawfull to giue tribute to Cesar, or not?
15 Yesu hunuu wɔn adwemmɔne no kaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na mosɔ me hwɛ, momfa sika a wɔde yi toɔ no bi nkyerɛ me, na mɛma mo mmuaeɛ.”
Should we giue it, or should we not giue it? but he knew their hypocrisie, and said vnto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a peny, that I may see it.
16 Wɔde maa no, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Hwan mfoni ne atwerɛ na ɛwɔ so?” Wɔbuaa sɛ, “Kaesare deɛ.”
So they brought it, and he said vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription? and they said vnto him, Cesars.
17 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ momfa Kaesare deɛ mma no, na momfa Onyankopɔn deɛ mma Onyankopɔn!” Ne mmuaeɛ no maa wɔn ho dwirii wɔn.
Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Giue to Cesar the things that are Cesars, and to God, those that are Gods: and they marueiled at him.
18 Afei, Sadukifoɔ a wɔka sɛ owusɔreɛ nni hɔ no, baa ne nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ,
Then came the Sadduces vnto him, (which say, there is no resurrection) and they asked him, saying,
19 “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, Mose yɛɛ mmara maa yɛn sɛ, sɛ ɔbarima bi anwo na ɔwu a, ne nuabarima mfa ne yere no kunabaa na ɔne no nwo mma mma owufoɔ no.
Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die, and leaue his wife, and leaue no children, that his brother should take his wife, and rayse vp seede vnto his brother.
20 Anuanom baason bi tenaa ase. Deɛ ɔdi ɛkan no waree yere, na ɔne no anwo na ɔwuiɛ.
There were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and when he died, left no issue.
21 Na deɛ ɔtɔ so mmienu no nso waree okunafoɔ no, na ɔno nso, ankyɛre na ɔwuiɛ a ɔne no anwo. Na deɛ ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa no nso waree no a, ɔne no anwo na ɔwuiɛ.
Then the seconde tooke her, and he died, neither did he yet leaue issue, and the third likewise:
22 Yei kɔɔ so kɔsii sɛ, anuanom yi nyinaa waree ɔbaa no, na ɔbaa no nso wuiɛ.
So those seuen had her, and left no yssue: last of all the wife died also.
23 Deɛ yɛpɛ sɛ yɛhunu ne sɛ, owusɔreɛ no mu, sɛ wɔnya sɔre a, wɔn mu hwan na ɔbaa no bɛyɛ ne yere?”
In the resurrection then, when they shall rise againe, whose wife shall she be of them? for seuen had her to wife.
24 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mo mfomsoɔ a moyɛ no firi nim a monnim Atwerɛsɛm no, ne Onyankopɔn tumi a ɔwɔ.
Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Are ye not therefore deceiued, because ye knowe not the Scriptures, neither the power of God?
25 Sɛ anuanom baason yi ne ɔbaa no sɔre firi awufoɔ mu a, wɔrenware; wɔbɛyɛ sɛ abɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ ɔsoro no.
For when they shall rise againe from the dead, neither men marry, nor wiues are married, but are as the Angels which are in heauen.
26 Afei, ɛfa awufoɔ owusɔreɛ no ho no nso, monnkanee Mose nwoma no mu asɛm a ɛfa Mose ne wira a na ɛrehyeɛ no ho da? Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, ‘Mene Abraham Onyankopɔn, Isak Onyankopɔn ne Yakob Onyankopɔn.’
And as touching the dead, that they shall rise againe, haue ye not read in the booke of Moses, howe in the bush God spake vnto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob?
27 Na Onyankopɔn reka akyerɛ Mose sɛ, ɛwom sɛ, saa nnipa yi awuwu mfeɛ pii a atwam no deɛ, nanso wɔte ase. Anyɛ saa a anka ɔrenka sɛ ɔyɛ ateasefoɔ Onyankopɔn, na ɔnyɛ awufoɔ Onyankopɔn. Moayɛ mfomsoɔ kɛseɛ.”
God is not ye God of the dead, but the God of the liuing. Ye are therefore greatly deceiued.
28 Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no mu baako a ɔgyina hɔ retie no no hunuu sɛ, wabua wɔn sɛdeɛ ɛfata no, ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Mose mmaransɛm no mu deɛ ɛwɔ he na ɛkyɛn ne nyinaa?”
Then came one of the Scribes that had heard them disputing together, and perceiuing that he had answered them well, he asked him, Which is the first commandement of all?
29 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Deɛ ɛkyɛn ne nyinaa ne deɛ ɛka sɛ, ‘Israel, tie! Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, yɛ Awurade korɔ;
Iesus answered him, The first of all the commandements is, Heare, Israel, The Lord our God is the onely Lord.
30 na dɔ Awurade wo Onyankopɔn firi wʼakoma ne wo kra ne wʼadwene ne wʼahoɔden nyinaa mu,’ no.
Thou shalt therefore loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy minde, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandement.
31 Na deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no ne: ‘Dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho.’ Mmaransɛm bi nni hɔ a ɛkyɛn eyinom.”
And the second is like, that is, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. There is none other commandement greater then these.
32 Atwerɛsɛm no ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no buaa no sɛ, “Owura, woaka nokorɛ sɛ, Onyankopɔn baako pɛ na ɔwɔ hɔ, na obi foforɔ nka ne ho,
Then that Scribe said vnto him, Well, Master, thou hast saide the trueth, that there is one God, and that there is none but he,
33 na menim nso sɛ, sɛ mɛdɔ no afiri mʼakoma ne mʼadwene ne mʼahoɔden nyinaa mu, na mɛdɔ me yɔnko sɛ me ho no, sene afɔdeɛ biara a wɔbɔ.”
And to loue him with all the heart, and with all the vnderstanding, and with all the soule, and with all the strength, and to loue his neighbour as himselfe, is more then all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 Yesu hunuu sɛ wabua asɛm no nyansa mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo ne Onyankopɔn Ahennie ntam ɛkwan nware.” Na saa asɛm yi akyi, obi antumi ammisa no asɛm biara bio.
Then when Iesus saw that he answered discreetely, he saide vnto him, Thou art not farre from the kingdome of God. And no man after that durst aske him any question.
35 Ɛberɛ bi a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan mu no, ɔbisaa nnipa no sɛ, “Adɛn na Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no ka sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Agyenkwa no yɛ Ɔhene Dawid ba?
And Iesus answered and said teaching in the Temple, Howe say the Scribes that Christ is the sonne of Dauid?
36 Ɛfiri sɛ Dawid ankasa nam Honhom Kronkron mu kaa sɛ, “‘Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me wura sɛ: “Tena me nifa so kɔsi sɛ mede wʼatamfoɔ bɛyɛ wo nan ntiasoɔ.”’
For Dauid himselfe said by ye holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
37 Sɛ Dawid frɛ no ‘Awurade’ a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na watumi ayɛ ne ba?” Ɛkwan a ɔfaa so kasaeɛ no maa nnipa no de anigyeɛ tiee no.
Then Dauid himselfe calleth him Lord: by what meanes is he then his sonne? and much people heard him gladly.
38 Ɛberɛ bi a nnipakuo bi de anigyeɛ retie Yesu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monhwɛ mo ho yie wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ ho! Wɔhyɛ ntadeɛ akɛseɛ sɛ asikafoɔ na sɛ wɔnam badwa mu a, wɔpɛ sɛ obiara a ɔhyia wɔn no de obuo kyea wɔn.
Moreouer he saide vnto them in his doctrine, Beware of the Scribes which loue to goe in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets,
39 Sɛ wɔkɔ hyiadan mu a, wɔtenatena mpanin adwa so, na sɛ wɔkɔ adidie ase a, wɔtena mpanin tenabea.
And the chiefe seates in the Synagogues, and the first roumes at feastes,
40 Wɔbɔ mpaeɛ hunu atentene kyerɛ nnipa sɛ wɔresom Onyankopɔn, nanso wɔsisi akunafoɔ. Yei enti wɔbɛnya asotwe a emu yɛ duru.”
Which deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers. These shall receiue the greater damnation.
41 Ɛda bi a Yesu kɔɔ asɔredan mu no, ɔkɔtenaa afɔrebɔ adaka a ɛsi hɔ no anim hwɛɛ sɛdeɛ nkurɔfoɔ no de sika regu adaka no mu. Asikafoɔ no de sika a ɛdɔɔso guu mu.
And as Iesus sate ouer against the treasurie, he beheld how the people cast money into the treasurie, and many rich men cast in much.
42 Ɔbaa kunafoɔ hiani bi nso baeɛ na ɔde sika nketewa mmienu bɛguu mu.
And there came a certaine poore widowe, and she threw in two mites, which make a quadrin.
43 Ɔfrɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Saa ɔbaa kunafoɔ hiani yi afɔdeɛ a ɔbɔeɛ no som bo sene afɔdeɛ akɛseakɛseɛ a asikafoɔ no bɛbɔeɛ no nyinaa.
Then he called vnto him his disciples, and said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, that this poore widowe hath cast more in, then all they which haue cast into the treasurie.
44 Na wɔn nyinaa firi deɛ wɔanya ama abu wɔn so no mu na wɔyiyii bi de baeɛ, na ɔbaa yi deɛ, ɔfiri ne hia mu de deɛ ɔwɔ nyinaa na abɛgu mu no.”
For they all did cast in of their superfluitie: but she of her pouertie did cast in all that she had, euen all her liuing.
