< Marko 16 >
1 Adeɛ kyeeɛ a Homeda no twaam no, Maria Magdalene ne Salome ne Yakobo maame Maria kɔtɔɔ nnuhwam sɛ wɔde rekɔ akɔsra Yesu amu no.
Once the Sabbath had ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought aromatic ointments so that they could go and anoint Jesus' body.
2 Ɛda a ɛdi nnawɔtwe no ɛkan anɔpahema no, ansa na owia bɛpue no, wɔde nnuhwam no baa ɛda no so.
Very early Sunday morning, just at sunrise, they went to the tomb.
3 Wɔnam ɛkwan so rekɔ no, na wɔredwene deɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛpire ɛboɔ no afiri ɛda no ano no ho.
They were asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?”
4 Nanso, wɔreyɛ aduru hɔ no, wɔmaa wɔn ani so hunuu sɛ, obi apire ɛboɔ kokuroko no afiri ɛda no ano.
But when they arrived and looked, they saw that the very large, heavy stone had already been rolled away.
5 Wɔkɔɔ ɛda no mu kɔhunuu aberanteɛ bi sɛ ɔhyɛ atadeɛ fitaa te nifa so hɔ. Wɔhunuu no no, wɔbɔɔ birim.
When they went into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, wearing a long white robe. They became very frightened.
6 Nanso, aberanteɛ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnsuro. Ɛnyɛ Nasareni Yesu a wɔbɔɔ no asɛnnua mu no na morehwehwɛ no no? Ɔnni ha! Wasɔre! Monhwɛ faako a wɔde no toeɛ hɔ!
“Don't be frightened,” he told them. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, the one who was crucified. He is risen from the dead. He is not here.
7 Afei, monkɔ na monkɔka yei nkyerɛ nʼasuafoɔ no ne Petro sɛ, ‘Yesu redi mo anim akɔ Galilea. Ɛhɔ na mobɛhunu no, sɛdeɛ ɔka kyerɛɛ mo ansa na ɔrewu no!’”
Look, this is the place where they laid him to rest. Now go, and tell his disciples and Peter that he's going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there just as he told you.”
8 Mmaa no de ehu ne ahopopoɔ dwane firii hɔ a, na obiara ntumi ne ne yɔnko nkasa.
They left and ran from the tomb, shaking and confused. They said nothing to anyone because they were too scared.
9 (note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) Kwasiada anɔpa na Yesu sɔre firii awufoɔ mu. Onipa a ɔyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ no kane ne Maria Magdalene, ɔbaa a ɔtuu ahonhommɔne nson firii ne mu no.
(note: The most reliable and earliest manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20.) When Jesus rose from the dead on Sunday morning, he appeared first of all to Mary Magdalene, from whom he'd driven out seven demons.
10 Maria Magdalene kɔɔ asuafoɔ no nkyɛn kɔhunuu wɔn sɛ wɔn werɛ ahoɔ, na wɔresu.
She went and told those who had been with him as they mourned and cried.
11 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, wahunu Yesu na ɔte ase. Nanso, wɔannye no anni.
When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they didn't believe it.
12 Akyire yi, Yesu yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ wɔn mu baanu a wɔnam firi Yerusalem rekɔ akuraa, nanso wɔhunuu no no, ahyɛaseɛ no, wɔantumi anhunu sɛ ɛyɛ ɔno, ɛfiri sɛ, na wasesa.
Later Jesus appeared in a different form to two other disciples who'd left to go to the countryside.
13 Akyire no a wɔhunuu onipa ko a ɔyɛ no, wɔtuu mmirika sane baa Yerusalem, bɛka kyerɛɛ nkaeɛ no, nanso obiara annye wɔn anni.
They returned and told the others, but they didn't believe them either.
14 Akyire no a asuafoɔ dubaako no te adidiiɛ no, ɔyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ wɔn. Ɔkaa wɔn anim wɔ gyidie a wɔnni ne gye a wɔannye wɔn a wɔbɛkaa sɛ wasɔre no anni no ho.
After this he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating. He rebuked them for their lack of trust and their stubbornness, because they had not believed those who'd seen him after he had risen.
15 Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔ ewiase nyinaa nkɔka asɛmpa no nkyerɛ nnipa nyinaa.
Then he told them, “Go to the whole world, and announce the good news to everyone.
16 Na obiara a ɔgye di na wɔbɔ no asu no, wɔbɛgye no nkwa. Na obiara a ɔnnye nni no, wɔbɛbu no fɔ.
Anyone who trusts in me and is baptized will be saved, but anyone who chooses not to trust will be condemned.
17 Saa nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ yi bɛdi wɔn a wɔgye me di no akyi. Wɔde me din bɛtu ahonhommɔne, na wɔaka kasa foforɔ.
The following signs will accompany those who trust in me: in my name they will drive out demons; they will speak new languages;
18 Wɔbɛsɔ awɔ mu, na sɛ wɔnom awuduro bi mpo a, ɛrenyɛ wɔn hwee; wɔde wɔn nsa bɛgu ayarefoɔ so, ama wɔn ho ayɛ wɔn den.”
they will be able to handle snakes; if they drink something poisonous they won't be harmed; they will place their hands on the sick and they will be healed.”
19 Awurade Yesu ne wɔn kasa wieeɛ akyi no, wɔfaa no kɔɔ ɔsoro na ɔkɔtenaa Onyankopɔn nsa nifa so.
Then, the Lord Jesus, when he had finished speaking to them, was taken up into heaven where he sat down at the right hand of God.
20 Yei akyi no, asuafoɔ no kɔkaa asɛm no wɔ baabiara, na Awurade kaa wɔn ho ma wɔyɛɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ nso, de hyɛɛ wɔn nsɛm a wɔkaeɛ no mu den.
The disciples went out and spread the good news everywhere, and the Lord worked with them, confirming the message through miraculous signs that accompanied it.
