< Marko 2 >
1 Nna bi akyi no, Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum bio. Ɔduruu hɔ no nnipa pii tee sɛ waba hɔ.
And when he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house.
2 Ankyɛre na nnipa bebree bɛhyɛɛ efie a na ɔwɔ mu no mu ma tɔ. Ɔkaa asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.
3 Mmarima baanan bi de obubuafoɔ bi a wɔso no baa hɔ.
And four people came, carrying a paralytic to him.
4 Esiane sɛ na wɔntumi mfa nnipadɔm no mu nkɔ Yesu nkyɛn no enti, wɔforoo ɛdan a Yesu wɔ mu no, kɔtuu tokuro wɔ atifi. Wɔde obubuafoɔ a ɔda ne kɛtɛ so no faa mu, gyaagyaa no brɛoo de no kɔtoo Yesu anim.
And when they could not bring him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on.
5 Yesu hunuu wɔn gyidie a wɔwɔ wɔ ne mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔyarefoɔ no sɛ, “Ɔba, wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo!”
And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."
6 Nanso Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no tee deɛ Yesu kaeɛ no, wɔdwenee wɔ wɔn tirim
But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 sɛ, “Asɛm bɛn na ɔreka yi! Abususɛm na ɔreka yi! Ɔdwene sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn? Onyankopɔn nko na ɔtumi de bɔne kyɛ.”
"Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone?"
8 Yesu hunuu wɔn adwene no, ɛhɔ ara, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn na moma asɛm a mekaeɛ yi ha mo?
And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, "Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
9 Deɛ ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ mmerɛ? Sɛ obi bɛka akyerɛ obubuafoɔ no sɛ, ‘Wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo’, anaasɛ, ‘Fa wo kɛtɛ na nante’?
Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?'
10 Enti mɛkyerɛ mo sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ.” Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafoɔ no sɛ,
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins", he said to the paralytic,
11 “Mese wo sɛ, sɔre gyina hɔ. Fa wo kɛtɛ, na kɔ wo efie na wo ho atɔ wo.”
"I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house."
12 Obubuafoɔ yi sɔre bobɔɔ ne kɛtɛ, na ɔde anigyeɛ ne ahosɛpɛ faa nnipadɔm no mu kɔeɛ. Nnipa no ho dwirii wɔn, ma wɔkamfoo Onyankopɔn sɛ, “Yɛnhunuu yei bi da!”
And he arose immediately, and took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, "We never saw anything like this."
13 Yesu sane kɔɔ mpoano hɔ bio, na ɔkaa asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ nnipakuo a wɔahyia wɔ hɔ no.
And he went out again by the seaside. All the crowd came to him, and he taught them.
14 Ɛberɛ a ɔnam mpoano hɔ no, ɔhunuu Alfeo ba Lewi sɛ ɔte atogyeɛ. Ɔhunuu no no ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Di mʼakyi.” Ɛhɔ ara, Lewi sɔre dii nʼakyi.
And as he passed by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he arose and followed him.
15 Saa ɛda no anadwofa, Lewi too ɛpono, too nsa frɛɛ nʼafɛfoɔ ɔtogyefoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ bi sɛ wɔmmra na ɔne wɔn ne Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no nto nsa nnidi. Nnipa a wɔdii Yesu akyi no bi te sɛ Lewi ara pɛ.
It happened, that he was reclining at the table in his house, and many tax collectors and sinners sat down with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.
16 Farisifoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɔne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ne ɔtogyefoɔ ato nsa redidi no, wɔbisaa nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɔne ɔtogyefoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ to nsa didi?”
And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, said to his disciples, "Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?"
17 Yesu tee deɛ wɔkaeɛ no, ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Wɔn a wɔwɔ ahoɔden no, ɔyaresafoɔ ho nhia wɔn, na wɔn a wɔyare no na ɔyaresafoɔ ho hia wɔn. Mamma sɛ merebɛka akyerɛ teneneefoɔ sɛ wɔnsakyera wɔn adwene na mmom, nnebɔneyɛfoɔ.”
And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
18 Ɛda bi a Yohane Osubɔni akyidifoɔ ne Farisifoɔ no redi mmuada no, nnipa bi kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kɔbisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na Yohane ne Farisifoɔ no akyidifoɔ di mmuada na wʼakyidifoɔ deɛ, wɔnni mmuada?”
And John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and asked him, "Why do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"
19 Yesu nso bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Moahunu ayeforɔkunu nnamfo a wɔbɛba ayeforɔ ase a wɔbɛka sɛ, wɔredi mmuada enti wɔrennidi anaa? Mmerɛ dodoɔ a wɔne ayeforɔkunu no nam no deɛ, wɔrenni mmuada da.
And Jesus said to them, "Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 Nanso, ɛda bi bɛba a, wɔbɛfa ayeforɔkunu no afiri wɔn nkyɛn. Saa ɛberɛ no na wɔbɛdi mmuada.
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then will they fast in that day.
21 “Ɛte sɛ wode ntoma foforɔ atare ntoma dada mu. Ɛdeɛn na ɛba? Ntaremu no bɛte ntoma dada no mu, na ayi afiri mu, na ama tokuro a ɛda hɔ no aso asene kane deɛ no.
No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, or else the patch shrinks and the new tears away from the old, and a worse hole is made.
22 Monim sɛ, wɔmfa nsã foforɔ ngu aboa nwoma nkotokuo dada mu. Anyɛ saa a, ɛbɛpae. Nsa no bɛhwie agu, na nkotokuo a nsã no wɔ mu no nso bɛpaapae. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsã foforɔ gu nkotokuo foforɔ mu.”
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and the skins will be destroyed; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins."
23 Homeda bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ nam aburoofuo bi mu no, asuafoɔ no pempan aburoo no bi weeɛ.
And it happened that he was going on the Sabbath day through the grain fields, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of grain.
24 Farisifoɔ no bi ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɛnni ho kwan sɛ wɔyɛ saa! Yɛn mmara mma ho ɛkwan sɛ wɔbu aburoo Homeda.”
And the Pharisees said to him, "Look, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"
25 Yesu nso bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Monkenkanee deɛ Ɔhene Dawid yɛeɛ, ɛberɛ a ɛkɔm dee ɔne wɔn a na wɔka ne ho no,
And he said to them, "Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry—he, and those who were with him?
26 ne sɛdeɛ ɔkɔɔ Onyankopɔn efie, Ɔsɔfopanin Abiatar berɛ so, na ɔne wɔn a wɔka ne ho kɔdii burodo a wɔde abɔ afɔdeɛ ama Onyankopɔn no, a obiara nni ho ɛkwan sɛ ɔdi, agye asɔfoɔ nko ara no pɛn? Na ɛno nso tia mmara.
How he entered into the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the show bread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?"
27 “Onipa enti na wɔyɛɛ Homeda, na ɛnyɛ Homeda enti na wɔbɔɔ onipa.
And he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for people, not people for the Sabbath.
28 Na me, Onipa Ba no mpo, meyɛ Homeda no nso wura!”
Therefore the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."
