< Marko 4 >
1 Ɛberɛ a ɔgu so rekyerɛkyerɛ no, nnipadɔm sane bɛtwaa ne ho hyiaeɛ wɔ mpoano hɔ. Yei enti, ɔkɔtenaa kodoɔ mu, toaa ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no so.
And he began agayne to teache by the seesyde. And there gadered to gedder vnto him moche people so greatly yt he entred into a ship and sate in the see and all the people was by the seeside on the shoore.
2 Na sɛdeɛ ɔyɛ daa no, ɔnam mmɛbuo so kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn. Baako a ɔkaeɛ ne sɛ,
And he taught them many thynges in similitudes and sayde vnto them in his doctrine:
3 “Ɛda bi, ogufoɔ bi kɔɔ nʼafuom kɔguu aba.
Herken to. Beholde There wet out a sower to sowe.
4 Ɔgu so regu aba no, aba no bi guu kwankyɛn, maa nnomaa bɛsosɔɔ ne nyinaa diiɛ.
And it fortuned as he sowed that some fell by the waye syde and the fowles of the ayre came and devoured it vp.
5 Ebi nso kɔguu ɔbotan bi so. Nanso, dɔteɛ a ɛwɔ so no nnɔɔso.
Some fell on stony grounde where it had not moche erth: and by and by sprange vp because it had not deepth of erth:
6 Ankyɛre na ɛfifiriiɛ, nanso ɛsiane sɛ dɔteɛ a ɛwɔ ɔbotan no so no nnɔɔso no enti, owia bɔɔ so no, ne nyinaa hyeeɛ.
but as sone as the sunne was vp it caught heet and because it had not rotynge wyddred awaye.
7 Aba no bi nso guu nkasɛɛ mu, maa nkasɛɛ no kyekyeree no enti antumi anso aba.
And some fell amonge the thornes and the thornes grewe vp and choked it so that it gave no frute.
8 Aba no bi nso guu asase pa mu, maa ebi nyini soo mmɔho aduasa, ebi aduosia, ɛnna afoforɔ nso mmɔho ɔha!”
And some fell vpon good grounde and dyd yelde frute that sproge and grewe and brought forthe: some thirty folde some sixtie folde and some an hundred folde.
9 Na Yesu kaa sɛ, “Ma deɛ ɔwɔ aso no ntie!”
And he sayde vnto them: he that hath eares to heare let him heare.
10 Akyire no a ɛkaa ɔne dumienu no ne asuafoɔ afoforɔ bi no, wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Asɛm a wokaeɛ no, aseɛ ne sɛn?”
And when he was alone they yt were aboute him with ye. xii. axed him of ye similitude.
11 Ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Mo deɛ, wɔada Onyankopɔn Ahennie ho ahintasɛm adi akyerɛ mo. Nanso, afoforɔ deɛ, wɔka no abɛbuo mu na ɛkyerɛ wɔn.
And he sayde vnto the. To you it is geve to knowe the mistery of the kyngdome of God. But vnto them that are wt out shall all thinges be done in similitudes:
12 Esiane saa nti, “‘Wɔhunu na wɔte, nanso wɔrente deɛ wɔte no ase, na wɔrennane mma Onyankopɔn nkyɛn, na wɔremfa wɔn bɔne nso nkyɛ wɔn.’
yt when they se they shall se and not discerne: and when they heare they shall heare and not vnderstonde: leste at any tyme they shulde tourne and their synnes shuld be forgeve the.
13 “Na sɛ moante saa bɛ yi ase a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na moate mmɛ ahodoɔ a merebɛbuo no ase?
And he sayde vnto the: Perceave ye not this similitude? how then shulde ye vnderstonde all other similitudes?
14 Ogufoɔ no gu aba a ɛyɛ asɛm no.
The sower soweth ye worde.
15 Aba a ɛguu kwankyɛn no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm, nanso sɛ wɔte asɛm no a, ntɛm so, ɔbonsam ba wɔn nkyɛn, ma wɔn werɛ firi deɛ wɔate no nyinaa.
And they that are by the wayes syde where the worde is sowen are they to whom assone as they have herde it Satha cometh immediatly and takith awaye the worde that was sowe in their hertes.
16 Aba a ɛguu ɔbotan so no gyina hɔ ma nnipa a wɔde anigyeɛ tie asɛm no.
And likewise they that are sowen on the stonye groude are they: which when they have harde the worde at once receave it wt gladnes
17 Nanso, wɔte sɛ aba a afifiri foforɔ a ne nhini nkɔ fam. Ahyɛaseɛ no, wɔkɔ so fɛfɛɛfɛ, nanso sɛ ɛba sɛ asɛm no enti, ɔtaa anaa amanehunu bi to wɔn pɛ, na wɔapa aba.
yet have no rotes in them selves and so endure but a tyme: and anone as trouble and persecucion aryseth for ye wordes sake they fall immediatly.
18 Aba a ɛguu nkasɛɛ mu no nso gyina hɔ ma nnipa a wɔte asɛmpa no,
And they that are sowe amoge the thornes are soche as heare ye worde:
19 nanso ɛnkyɛre koraa na ewiase yi mu afɛfɛdeɛ ne ahonyadeɛ ne ɔbra yi mu dadwene, nnaadaa ne nneɛma bi ho akɔnnɔ abɛhyɛ wɔn akoma mu. Yei enti, asɛm no ntumi nso aba biara. (aiōn )
and ye care of this worlde and ye disseytfulnes of ryches and the lustes of other thinges entre in and choocke ye worde and it is made vnfrutfull. (aiōn )
20 Aba a ɛguu asase pa mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm no, na wɔso aba bebree. Nnipa no bi so mmɔho aduasa. Ebi nso so aduosia, na afoforɔ nso so ɔha.”
And those that weare sowe in good grounde are they that heare the worde and receave it and bringe forth frute some thirty folde some sixty folde some an hundred folde.
21 Afei, Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Moahunu obi a ɔsɔ kanea na ɔde hyɛ mpa ase, anaasɛ ɔde ahina butu so? Dabi! Wɔde kanea si petee mu na ahyerɛn ma ɛho aba mfasoɔ.
And he sayde vnto them: is ye candle lighted to be put vnder a busshell or vnder ye table and not rather to be put on a cadelstick?
22 Deɛ ahinta biara no, wɔbɛda no adi, na deɛ wɔakata so biara no, wɔde bɛto dwa.
For there is nothinge so prevy that shall not be opened: nether so secreet but that it shall come abroade.
23 Deɛ ɔwɔ aso a ɔbɛtie no, ma ɔntie!
Yf eny man have eares to heare let him heare.
24 “Monhwɛ yie wɔ deɛ mote no ho. Deɛ mote no, ɛno ara na wɔde bɛma mo, na aboro so mpo.
And he sayde vnto them: take hede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete with the same shall it be measured vnto you agayne. And vnto you that heare shall more be geve.
25 Deɛ ɔwɔ biribi no, wɔbɛma no bi aka ho; deɛ ɔnni ahe bi no, kakraa a ɔwɔ no mpo, wɔbɛgye afiri ne nsam.”
For vnto him yt hath shall it be geven: and from him that hath not shalbe taken awaye even that he hath.
26 Ɔkaa bio sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no teɛ nie: okuafoɔ bi gu aba wɔ asase bi so.
And he sayde: so is the kyngdome of God even as yf a man shuld sowe seed in ye groude
27 Awia ne anadwo, sɛ ɔda o, sɛ ɔnyane o, aba no fefɛ a ɔnnim sɛdeɛ ɛyɛeɛ a ɛnyiniiɛ.
and shulde slepe and ryse vp night and daye: and the seede shuld springe and growe vp he not ware.
28 Asase no ankasa bɔ nʼaduane, dua no na ɛdi kan, afei ɛpɛsɛ na abɔ, ama aba no anyini.
For ye erth bringeth forthe frute of her silfe: fyrst the blade then the eares after that full corne in the eares.
29 Sɛ aba no nyini wie a, okuafoɔ no fa ne dadeɛ kɔtwa, ɛfiri sɛ otwa berɛ aduru.”
And as sone as the frute is brought forth anone he throusteth in ye sykell because the hervest is come.
30 Ɔsane kaa sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn ho na yɛde Ɔsoro Ahennie no bɛto, anaa abɛbusɛm bɛn na yɛde bɛkyerɛkyerɛ mu?
And he sayde: where vnto shall we lyke the kyngdome of God? or with what copareson shall we copare it?
31 Ɛte sɛ onyina aba, a ɛyɛ ketewaa wɔ aba a wodua nyinaa mu.
It is lyke a grayne of mustard seed which when it is sowe in the erth is the leest of all seedes that be in the erth:
32 Na sɛ wodua a ɛnyini yɛ kɛseɛ sene nnua a aka no nyinaa, ɛyiyi mman akɛseɛ ma ewiem nnomaa bɛsisi ne nwunu mu.”
but after that it is sowen it groweth vp and is greatest of all yerbes: and bereth greate brauches so that ye fowles of the ayre maye dwell vnder the shadowe of it.
33 Mmɛbuo a ɛtete sɛ yeinom na Yesu de kaa asɛm no kyerɛɛ wɔn, sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtumi ate aseɛ.
And with many soche similitudes he preached the worde vnto the after as they myght heare it.
34 Ɔnam mmɛbuo so na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ wɔn a wɔbɛtiee no no nyinaa, na sɛ ɛka ɔne nʼasuafoɔ no nko a, ɔkyerɛ wɔn ne nyinaa ase.
And with out similitude spake he no thinge vnto them. But when they were aparte he expounded all thinges to his disciples.
35 Ɛduruu anwummerɛ no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Momma yɛntwa nkɔ asuogya nohoa.”
And the same daye when even was come he sayde vnto them: let vs passe over vnto the other syde.
36 Ɔkaa saa no, wɔgyaa nnipadɔm no wɔ hɔ, na ɔne wɔn kɔeɛ a akodoɔ foforɔ di wɔn akyi.
And they lefte the people and toke him even as he was in the shyp. And ther were also with him other shippes.
37 Prɛko pɛ, ahum kɛseɛ bi tuiɛ, maa asorɔkye bu bɛkataa kodoɔ no so, ma ɛyɛɛ sɛ ɛremem.
And ther arose a great storme of wynde and dasshed ye waves into the ship so that it was full.
38 Saa ɛberɛ no, na Yesu wɔ kodoɔ no to de ne ti ato sumiiɛ so ada. Asuafoɔ no de ahopopoɔ ne nteateamu kɔnyanee no kaa sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, yɛreyɛ amem yi, ɛmfa wo ho?”
And he was in the sterne a slepe on a pelowe. And they awoke him and sayde to him: Master carest thou not yt we perisshe?
39 Ɔsɔre teateaa mframa no ka kyerɛɛ ɛpo no sɛ, “Yɛ dinn!” Mframa no gyaeeɛ, na ɛpo no yɛɛ dinn!
And he rose vp and rebuked the wynde and sayde vnto the see: peace and be still. And the winde alayed and ther folowed a greate calme.
40 Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn na moyɛ ahufoɔ sei? Adɛn, monnye me nni anaa?”
And he sayde vnto them: why are ye so fearfull? How is it that ye have no fayth?
41 Na wɔn ho dwirii wɔn yie, bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Onipa bɛn ni a mframa ne ɛpo mpo tie no yi?”
And they feared excedingly and sayde one to another: what felowe is this? For booth winde and see obey him.
