< Marko 2 >

1 Nna bi akyi no, Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum bio. Ɔduruu hɔ no nnipa pii tee sɛ waba hɔ.
And after some days he again entered Capernaum; and it was reported 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 longer room for them, even at the door; and he was speaking the word to them.
3 Mmarima baanan bi de obubuafoɔ bi a wɔso no baa hɔ.
And they come to him, bringing one that was palsied, borne by four men.
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 not being able to bring him to him on account of the crowd, they took off the roof where he was; and when they had broken an opening, they let down the bed whereon the palsied man lay.
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, saith to the palsied man, Son, thy sins are forgiven.
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 doth this man speak thus? He blasphemeth; who can forgive sins but God only?
8 Yesu hunuu wɔn adwene no, ɛhɔ ara, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn na moma asɛm a mekaeɛ yi ha mo?
And Jesus immediately perceiving in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, saith to them, Why do ye reason thus 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 say to the palsied man, Thy sins are forgiven? or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed and go?
10 Enti mɛkyerɛ mo sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ.” Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafoɔ no sɛ,
But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins, —he saith to the palsied man, —
11 “Mese wo sɛ, sɔre gyina hɔ. Fa wo kɛtɛ, na kɔ wo efie na wo ho atɔ wo.”
I say to thee, Arise, take up thy bed and go to thy 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, and immediately took up the bed and went forth before them all; so that they were all amazed, and gave glory to God, saying, We never saw it thus.
13 Yesu sane kɔɔ mpoano hɔ bio, na ɔkaa asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ nnipakuo a wɔahyia wɔ hɔ no.
And he went forth again to the lake; and all the multitude 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 passing along, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting at the custom-house; and he saith 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.
And it happened that he was reclining at table in his house; and many publicans and sinners were reclining with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and scribes of the Pharisees were also following 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 when they saw that he was eating with the publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples, Doth he eat and drink with publicans 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 Jesus hearing it, saith to them, They who are well do not need a physician, but they who are sick. I came not to call righteous men, 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 the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, and thy disciples fast not?
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 companions of the bridegroom 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 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 seweth a patch of undressed cloth on an old garment; for the new piece teareth away from the old garment, and a worse rent 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 putteth new wine into old skins; for the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and the skins.
23 Homeda bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ nam aburoofuo bi mu no, asuafoɔ no pempan aburoo no bi weeɛ.
And it came to pass, that he was going through the grain-fields on the sabbath, and his disciples began, as they went along, 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, See, why are they doing on the sabbath that which is not lawful?
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 saith to them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry, himself and they 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 went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high-priest, and ate the show-bread, which it is lawful for none but the priests to eat, 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 man, and not man for the sabbath.
28 Na me, Onipa Ba no mpo, meyɛ Homeda no nso wura!”
So that the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
