Marko 6
1 Yesu firi baabi a ɔwɔ hɔ kɔɔ ne kurom a nʼasuafoɔ no ka ne ho.
And he went out from there and came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.
2 Ɔkɔɔ hyiadan mu Homeda, hyɛɛ aseɛ kyerɛkyerɛeɛ, maa dodoɔ a wɔbɛtiee no ho dwirii wɔn. Wobisaa sɛ, “Ɛhe na saa onipa yi nyaa saa nneɛma yi, ɛdeɛn nyansa na wɔde ama no a enti ɔtumi yɛ anwanwadeɛ yi?
And when the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things?" and, "What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?
3 Ɛnyɛ dua dwumfoɔ ba no ni? Ɛnyɛ Maria babarima a ne nuanom ne Yakobo, Yosef, Yuda ne Simon no nie? Ɛnyɛ yɛne ne nuammaanom na ɛte ha!” Na wɔn bo fuu no.
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Josi, Judas, and Simon? Are not his sisters here with us?" They were offended at him.
4 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Odiyifoɔ kurom, nʼabusuafoɔ mu, ne ne fie na ɔnni animuonyam.”
Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house."
5 Wantumi anyɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ wɔ hɔ, gye ayarefoɔ kakra bi na ɔde ne nsa guu wɔn so, saa wɔn yadeɛ.
And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people, and healed them.
6 Gye a wɔannye no anni no yɛɛ no nwanwa. Na Yesu kyinkyinii nkuraa ase kyerɛkyerɛeɛ.
And he was amazed because of their unbelief. And he went around the villages teaching.
7 Yesu frɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ dumienu no baa ne nkyɛn, na ɔsomaa wɔn baanu baanu, maa wɔn tumi wɔ ahonhommɔne so.
And he called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
8 Akwankyerɛ a ɔde maa wɔn nie, “Mommfa biribiara nkura gye mo poma nko ara; mommfa aduane anaa kotokuo anaa sika.
And he commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no pack, no money in their belts,
9 Bio, mommfa mpaboa foforɔ anaa atadeɛ foforɔ nka deɛ ɛhyɛ mo yi ho.
but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.
10 Baabiara a mobɛkɔ no, montena efie baako pɛ mu. Monnsesa mo atenaeɛ.
And he said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
11 Na sɛ morefiri kuro bi a wɔannye anaa wɔantie mo no mu akɔ a, momporoporo mo nan ase tutuo, mfa nni adanseɛ.”
And if any place will not receive you or listen to you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them."
12 Asuafoɔ no kɔkaa asɛm no kyerɛɛ obiara a wɔhyiaa no no sɛ ɔnnu ne ho, ntwe ne ho mfiri ne bɔne ho.
So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent.
13 Na wɔtutuu ahonhommɔne bebree, de ngo sraa ayarefoɔ pii saa wɔn yadeɛ.
They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.
14 Ɔhene Herode tee yei, ɛfiri sɛ na Yesu din atrɛ. Ebinom kaa sɛ, “Yohane Osubɔni no na wasane aba nkwa mu bio, enti na ɔtumi yɛ anwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛ yi.”
King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, "John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him."
15 Ebinom nso susuu sɛ, Yesu yɛ Odiyifoɔ Elia na wasane aba. Afoforɔ nso kaa sɛ, odiyifoɔ foforɔ bi a ɔte sɛ tete adiyifoɔ akɛseɛ no bi na waba.
But others said, "He is Elijah." Others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets."
16 Herode kaa sɛ, “Dabi, ɛyɛ Yohane Osubɔni a metwaa ne ti no. Wanyane afiri owuo mu.”
But Herod, when he heard this, said, "This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen."
17 Saa ɛberɛ no, na Herode asoma asraafoɔ ma wɔakɔkyere Yohane de no ato afiase, ɛfiri sɛ, na Yohane akasa atia Herode ne Herodia a na ɔyɛ Herode nua Filipo yere no awadeɛ.
For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, for he had married her.
18 Yohane Osubɔni ka kyerɛɛ Herode sɛ, “Wonni ho ɛkwan sɛ woware wo nua yere.”
For John said to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
19 Asɛm a Yohane kaeɛ no anyɛ Herodia nso dɛ, ma ɔnyaa ne ho menasepɔ kaa sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum Yohane. Nanso, ɔrentumi nku no gye sɛ Herode ama no tumi.
So Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him, but she could not,
20 Na Herode de obuo ma Yohane, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔnim sɛ ɔyɛ onipa tenenee. Yei enti, ɔbɔɔ ne ho ban. Ɛberɛ biara a Horode ne Yohane bɛkasa no, na ne ho yera no, nanso yei nyinaa akyi no, ɔde ntoboaseɛ tiee no.
for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed, but he heard him gladly.
21 Deɛ Herodia pɛɛ sɛ ɛnyɛ Yohane no baa mu. Ɛne sɛ, na Herode redi nʼawoda, ma ɔtoo ɛpono wɔ nʼahemfie maa ne mpanimfoɔ, nʼasafohene ne Galilea mpanimfoɔ.
And then a convenient day came, that Herod on his birthday gave a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the leaders of Galilee.
22 Herodia babaa bɛsa kyerɛɛ wɔn ma ɛyɛɛ wɔn nyinaa fɛ. Herode de ntamka kyerɛɛ ababaawa no sɛ, “Bisa me biribiara a wopɛ; sɛ mʼahemman mu fa mpo na wopɛ koraa a, mede bɛma wo!”
And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young woman, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you."
And he swore to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."
24 Ababaawa yi kɔɔ ne maame nkyɛn kɔbisaa no deɛ ɔmmisa, ma ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Bisa no Yohane Osubɔni ti!”
So she went out, and said to her mother, "What should I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the baptizer."
25 Ababaawa yi de ahoɔherɛ sane baa ɔhene no nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mepɛ sɛ wode Yohane Osubɔni tiri to prɛte mu ma me seesei ara!”
And she came in immediately with haste to the king, and asked, "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter."
26 Yei maa ɔhene no werɛ hoeɛ, nanso ɛsiane sɛ na waka ntam wɔ nnipa no anim no enti, wammu ɛbɔ a ɔhyɛɛ ne babaa no so.
And the king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths, and of his dinner guests, he did not wish to refuse her.
27 Herode somaa nʼasraafoɔ no mu baako sɛ ɔnkɔ afiase hɔ nkɔtwa Yohane ti mfa mmrɛ no. Ɔsraani no kɔtwaa Yohane Osubɔni ti,
So immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard, and commanded to bring John's head, and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 na ɔde too prɛte mu de brɛɛ ababaawa no maa ɔde kɔmaa ne maame.
and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young woman; and the young woman gave it to her mother.
29 Ɛberɛ a Yohane asuafoɔ no tee deɛ asi no, wɔbɛfaa nʼamu no kɔsiee no wɔ ɔboda bi mu.
And when his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse, and placed it in a tomb.
30 Asomafoɔ no sane baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛkaa deɛ wɔyɛeɛ ne deɛ wɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa a wɔkɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn no nyinaa kyerɛɛ no.
Then the apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.
31 Yesu tiee wɔn amaneɛ no wieeɛ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momma yɛntwe yɛn ho mfiri nnipakuo yi ho, na yɛnkɔhome kakra.” Deɛ ɛma ɔkaa saa ne sɛ, na nnipa a wɔba wɔn nkyɛn no to ntwa da. Wɔnnya ɛkwan mpo na wɔadidi.
And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to an isolated place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no tenaa kodoɔ mu kɔɔ baabi a obiara nni hɔ.
So they went away in the boat to an isolated place by themselves.
33 Nanso, ɛberɛ a wɔrekɔ no, nnipa pii hunuu wɔn, na wɔtuu mmirika faa mpoano hɔ kɔhyiaa wɔn.
But they saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities and they arrived before them.
34 Yei enti, ɛberɛ a Yesu sii fam no, na nnipakuo ahyia wɔ hɔ. Ɔhunuu wɔn no, ne yam hyehyee no maa wɔn ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔte sɛ nnwan a wɔnni ɔhwɛfoɔ. Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn nneɛma bebree a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhunu.
And he came out, saw a large crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
35 Onwunu reyɛ adwo no, nʼasuafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn, bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Adeɛ resa. Aduane biara nso nni ha.
And when it was late in the day, his disciples came to him, and said, "This place is desolate, and it is late in the day.
36 Ka kyerɛ nnipa no na wɔnkɔ nkuro mu ne nkuraa a atwa yɛn ho ahyia yi ase, na wɔnkɔtɔ aduane bi nni.”
Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages, and buy themselves something to eat."
37 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momma wɔn aduane nni.” Wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ansa na yɛbɛtumi ama saa nnipa dodoɔ yi aduane no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛnya abosome nwɔtwe akatua. Sɛ yɛse yɛbɛma wɔn aduane a, yɛrennya saa nnipakuo yi ho sika!”
But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." They asked him, "Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give them something to eat?"
38 Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Burodo ahe na yɛwɔ? Monkɔ na monkɔhwɛ.” Wɔsane ba bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wɔwɔ burodo enum ne mpataa mmienu.”
He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go see." When they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish."
39 Afei, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nnipakuo no sɛ, wɔntenatena ase, na wɔtenatenaa ase akuakuo wɔ ɛserɛ no so.
He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 Enti, wɔtenatenaa ase akuakuo a ebi yɛ ɔha na ebi yɛ aduonum.
They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
41 Yesu faa burodo enum ne mpataa mmienu no, na ɔhwɛɛ ɔsoro, bɔɔ mpaeɛ, hyiraa so. Ɔbubuu burodo no mu de maa asuafoɔ no sɛ wɔnkyɛ mma nnipa no. Na ɔkyɛɛ mpataa no nso maa wɔn.
He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.
42 Nnipa no dii aduane no maa obiara meeɛ!
They all ate, and were filled.
43 Nnipa a wɔdii aduane no bɛyɛ mmarima mpemnum;
They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.
44 na wɔtasee aseɛ nkaeɛ no, ɛyɛɛ nkɛntɛmma dumienu.
Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
45 Adidie no akyi pɛ, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, wɔnkɔtena kodoɔ no mu, na wɔnni ɛkan nkɔ Betsaida, na ɔregya nnipakuo no ɛkwan na wati wɔn.
And immediately he made his disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the crowd away.
46 Akyire yi, ɔkɔɔ bepɔ no so kɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ.
After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.
47 Anadwo no a asuafoɔ no te kodoɔ mu aduru nsuo no mfimfini no, na Yesu nko ara na ɔwɔ mpoano.
When evening had come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48 Ɔhunuu sɛ na wɔn ho akyere wɔn; ɛne sɛ, mframa a ano yɛ den ne asorɔkye bɔ dweradweraa kodoɔ no, enti na wɔrebrɛ ɔkodoɔ no hare mu. Anɔpahema bɛyɛ sɛ nnɔnmiɛnsa berɛ mu no, ɔnantee nsuo no ani baa wɔn nkyɛn. Ɔyɛɛ sɛ ɔretwa wɔn ho.
He saw them distressed in rowing, for the wind was against them. In the watch between three and six in the morning he came to them, walking on the sea, and he would have passed by them,
49 Ɛberɛ a asuafoɔ no hunuu obi sɛ ɔnam nsuo no ani no, wɔde ehu teateaam ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔsusu sɛ wɔahunu ɔsaman.
but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and began to scream;
50 Wɔn nyinaa hunuu no. Ɛhɔ ara, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam. Ɛyɛ me! Monnsuro!”
for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer up. It is I. Do not be afraid."
51 Afei, ɔkɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn wɔ kodoɔ no mu no, mframa no gyaeeɛ! Asuafoɔ no ho dwirii wɔn,
And he got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased. And they were completely profusely astonished among themselves;
52 ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔnnte aduanema no ase, na wɔapirim wɔn akoma.
for they had not understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
53 Wɔtwaa asuo no baa Genesaret na wɔduruu hɔ no, wɔde kodoɔ no baa mpoano.
When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.
54 Na wɔsi firii kodoɔ no mu no, nnipa a wɔgyina hɔ no hunuu no.
When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
55 Wɔtuu mmirika kyinii nkuro a atwa hɔ ahyia no nyinaa so soaa nnipa a wɔyare da wɔn kɛtɛ so brɛɛ no wɔ baabiara a wɔtee sɛ ɔwɔ.
and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick, on their mats, to where they heard he was.
56 Na nkuraa ase anaa nkuro so baabiara a ɔkɔreɛ no, wɔde ayarefoɔ bɛguu mmɔntene so, srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔmma wɔmfa wɔn nsa nka nʼatadeɛ ano kɛkɛ. Ayarefoɔ dodoɔ a wɔtumi de wɔn nsa kaa nʼatadeɛ ano no ho yɛɛ wɔn den.
Wherever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they placed the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch just the fringe of his garment; and everyone who touched him were made well.
