Marko 2
1 Nna bi akyi no, Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum bio. Ɔduruu hɔ no nnipa pii tee sɛ waba hɔ.
And again he entered into Capernaum, after [some] days, and it was heard that he is in the house,
2 Ankyɛre na nnipa bebree bɛhyɛɛ efie a na ɔwɔ mu no mu ma tɔ. Ɔkaa asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
and immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door, and he was speaking to them the word.
3 Mmarima baanan bi de obubuafoɔ bi a wɔso no baa hɔ.
And they come unto him, bringing a paralytic, borne by four,
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 come near to him because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having broken [it] up, they let down the couch on which the paralytic was lying,
5 Yesu hunuu wɔn gyidie a wɔwɔ wɔ ne mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔyarefoɔ no sɛ, “Ɔba, wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo!”
and Jesus having seen their faith, saith to the paralytic, 'Child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'
6 Nanso Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no tee deɛ Yesu kaeɛ no, wɔdwenee wɔ wɔn tirim
And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, 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 one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one — God?'
8 Yesu hunuu wɔn adwene no, ɛhɔ ara, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn na moma asɛm a mekaeɛ yi ha mo?
And immediately Jesus, having known in his spirit that they thus reason in themselves, said to them, 'Why these things reason ye 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 paralytic, The sins have been forgiven to thee? or to say, Rise, and take up thy couch, and walk?
10 Enti mɛkyerɛ mo sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ.” Enti ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafoɔ no sɛ,
'And, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on the earth to forgive sins — (he saith to the paralytic) —
11 “Mese wo sɛ, sɔre gyina hɔ. Fa wo kɛtɛ, na kɔ wo efie na wo ho atɔ wo.”
I say to thee, Rise, and take up thy couch, and go away 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 rose immediately, and having taken up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and do glorify God, saying — 'Never thus did we see.'
13 Yesu sane kɔɔ mpoano hɔ bio, na ɔkaa asɛmpa no kyerɛɛ nnipakuo a wɔahyia wɔ hɔ no.
And he went forth again by the sea, and all the multitude was coming unto him, and he was teaching 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 by, he saw Levi of Alpheus sitting at the tax-office, and saith to him, 'Be following me,' and he, having risen, did follow 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 came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners were reclining (at meat) 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 and the Pharisees, having seen him eating with the tax-gatherers and sinners, said to his disciples, 'Why — that with the tax-gatherers and sinners he doth eat and drink?'
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, having heard, saith to them, 'They who are strong have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; I came not to call righteous men, but sinners to reformation.'
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 those of the Pharisees were fasting, and they come and say to him, 'Wherefore do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, and thy 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, 'Are the sons of the bride-chamber able, while the bridegroom is with them, to fast? so long time as they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to fast;
20 Nanso, ɛda bi bɛba a, wɔbɛfa ayeforɔkunu no afiri wɔn nkyɛn. Saa ɛberɛ no na wɔbɛdi mmuada.
but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast — in those days.
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.
'And no one a patch of undressed cloth doth sew on an old garment, and if not — the new filling it up doth take from the old and the rent doth become worse;
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 doth put new wine into old skins, and if not — the new wine doth burst the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine into new skins is to be put.'
23 Homeda bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ nam aburoofuo bi mu no, asuafoɔ no pempan aburoo no bi weeɛ.
And it came to pass — he is going along on the sabbaths through the corn-fields — and his disciples began to make a way, plucking the ears,
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, 'Lo, why do they on the sabbaths 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 said to them, 'Did ye never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and those 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, (at 'Abiathar the chief priest,') and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to eat, except to the priests, and he 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 for man was made, 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 also of the sabbath.'
