Marko 8
1 Ɛda koro bi a nnipakuo bi aba Yesu nkyɛn no, aduane a wɔdi no saeɛ.
In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples, and saith to them,
2 Yesu frɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Nnipa yi yɛ me mmɔbɔ. Wɔabɛdi nnansa wɔ ha a, wɔnni aduane biara a wɔbɛdi bio.
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 Sɛ megya wɔn ɛkwan sɛ wɔnkɔ a wonnidiiɛ a, anhwɛ a na wɔn mu bi atotɔ baha wɔ ɛkwan so, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn mu bi firi akyirikyiri na wɔbaeɛ.”
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for some of them came from a distance.
4 Nʼasuafoɔ no bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛhefa na yɛbɛnya aduane ama saa nnipa dodoɔ yi wɔ ɛserɛ yi so ha?”
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?
5 Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Burodo ahe na mowɔ?” Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Yɛwɔ nson.”
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nnipakuo no sɛ wɔntenatena ase wɔ ɛserɛ no so. Afei, ɔfaa burodo nson no, na ɔhyiraa so, bubuu mu de maa nʼasuafoɔ no ma wɔkyɛ maa nnipa no.
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before [them]; and they set [them] before the people.
7 Na wɔwɔ mpataa kakra wɔ hɔ, enti Yesu hyiraa ɛno nso so, de maa asuafoɔ no sɛ wɔnkyɛ ɛno nso mma wɔn.
And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them].
8 Nnipakuo no didi meeɛ no, ɔgyaa wɔn ɛkwan.
So they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that were left, seven baskets.
9 Nnipa a wɔdii aduane no dodoɔ bɛyɛ mpemnan. Na wɔtasee aseɛ nnikaeɛ no, ɛyɛɛ nkɛntɛmma nson.
And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he dismissed them.
10 Yei akyi no, ɔne nʼasuafoɔ no kɔtenaa kodoɔ mu baa Dalmanuta fam.
And forthwith he entered into a boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 Farisifoɔ no tee sɛ Yesu aba hɔ no, wɔbaa ne nkyɛn bɛbisabisaa no nsɛm, de sɔɔ no hwɛɛ. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi kyerɛ yɛn. Ma nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi nna adi wɔ ewiem nkyerɛ yɛn. Ɛno ansa na yɛbɛgye wo adi.”
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 Yesu tee deɛ wɔkaeɛ no, ɔguu ahome, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Deɛn enti na mohwehwɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ daa yi? Nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ biara nni hɔ a mɛyɛ akyerɛ mo.”
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek for a sign? Verily I say to you, There shall no sign be given to this generation.
13 Ɔsane kɔtenaa kodoɔ no mu, gyaa wɔn, tware kɔɔ asuogya nohoa.
And he left them, and entering into the boat again, departed to the other side.
14 Asuafoɔ no werɛ firii sɛ wɔfa aduane bi kura ansa na wɔakɔ. Aduane a na wɔkura wɔ kodoɔ no mu no yɛ burodo baako pɛ.
Now [the disciples] had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the boat with them more than one loaf.
15 Wɔretwa asuo no no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monhwɛ mo ho so yie wɔ Ɔhene Herode ne Farisifoɔ mmɔreka ho.”
And he charged them saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.
16 Asuafoɔ no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Asɛm a ɔreka yi ase ne sɛn?” Deɛ wɔn adwene kyerɛɛ wɔn ne sɛ, ebia ɔreka aduane a wɔn werɛ firii sɛ wɔbɛfa akuta no ho asɛm.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have no bread.
17 Yesu hunuu deɛ wɔdwennwene no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ ɛno ho asɛm na mereka! Monnte yei ase anaa? Mo akoma da so pirim?
And when Jesus knew [it], he saith to them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Mowɔ ani nso monhunu adeɛ? Mowɔ aso nso momfa nte asɛm? Na monnkae biribi anaa?
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 Ɛberɛ a mebubuu burodo enum mu maa nnipa mpemnum no, nnikaeɛ nkɛntɛmma ahe na motaseeɛ?” Wɔkaa sɛ, “Dumienu.”
When I divided the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.
20 “Na mesane de burodo nson maa nnipa mpemnan no nso, ahe na ɛkaeɛ?” Wɔkaa sɛ, “Nkɛntɛmma nson.”
And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 Ɔbisaa wɔn bio sɛ, “Monnte ase ara anaa?”
And he said to them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 Ɛberɛ a wɔduruu Betsaida no, nnipa bi de onifirani bi brɛɛ no, srɛɛ no sɛ ɔmfa ne nsa nka no, na ɔnsa no yadeɛ.
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man to him, and besought him to touch him.
23 Yesu sɔɔ onifirani yi nsa de no kɔɔ akuraa no kurotia. Ɔtee ntasuo guu onifirani no ani so, na ɔde ne nsa guu no so. Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Wohunu adeɛ anaa?”
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw aught.
24 Onifirani no maa nʼani so hwɛɛ ɔsoro, buaa sɛ, “Aane, mehunu nnipa! Nanso mehunu wɔn sɛ nnua bi na wɔnenam hɔ.”
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees walking.
25 Afei, Yesu de ne nsa kataa nʼani no so bio. Onifirani no buee nʼani, na ɛberɛ a ɔrehwɛ adeɛ haa no, nʼani no yɛɛ yie a afei deɛ na ɔhunu biribiara kann.
After that, he put [his] hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 Yesu ma ɔkɔɔ efie, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nsane nkɔ akuraa no ase bio.”
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell [it] to any in the town.
27 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no firi Galilea kɔɔ Kaesarea ne Filipi nkuraa ase. Wɔnam ɛkwan so rekɔ no, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Nnipa ka sɛ mene hwan?”
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?
28 Asuafoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Ebinom se wone Yohane Osubɔni no, na afoforɔ nso se woyɛ Elia anaasɛ tete adiyifoɔ no mu bi a wasane aba.”
And they answered, John the Baptist: but some [say], Elijah; and others, One of the prophets,
29 Na ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Na mo nso mose meyɛ hwan?” Petro buaa no sɛ, “Wone Kristo no.”
And he saith to them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith to him, Thou art the Christ.
30 Ɔbɔɔ wɔn kɔkɔ sɛ, wɔnnka nkyerɛ obiara.
And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
31 Afei, ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ Onipa Ba no bɛhunu amane, na mpanimfoɔ, asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no bɛpo no, na wɔakum no, na nnansa so, Onipa Ba no bɛsɔre.
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 Ɔkaa asɛm no pefee a wamfa biribiara ansie wɔn. Petro twee no gyinaa nkyɛn, bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woka asɛm a ɛte sɛɛ yi?”
And he spoke that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 Yesu danee ne ho hwɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no, kaa Petro anim sɛ, “Firi me so, ɔbonsam! Wʼadwene yɛ deɛ ɛfiri onipa na ɛnyɛ deɛ ɛfiri Onyankopɔn.”
But when he had turned about, and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savorest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.
34 Afei, ɔfrɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no ne nnipakuo no baa ne nkyɛn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmɛtie no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔdi mʼakyi a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔpa ne ho akyi, na ɔsoa nʼasɛnnua, na ɔdi mʼakyi.
And when he had called the people [to him] with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Deɛ ɔma ne ɔkra som no bo no, ɛbɛfiri ne nsa. Na deɛ me ne Asɛmpa no enti, ɔbɛhwere ne kra no, wɔbɛgye ne nkwa.
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 Na sɛ onipa nya ewiase nyinaa, na ɔhwere ne kra a, mfasoɔ bɛn na ɔbɛnya?
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul:
37 Ɛdeɛn na ɛsom bo sene ne kra?
Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Na obiara a saa nna bɔne yi mu nʼani wu me ne me nsɛm ho no, ne ho bɛyɛ me, Onipa Ba no, aniwu ɛberɛ a me ne mʼabɔfoɔ kronkron no bɛsane aba wɔ mʼAgya animuonyam mu no.”
Whoever therefore shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also will the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
