Marko 9
1 Yesu kɔɔ so ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Mo a mogyina ha yi mu bi bɛtena ase akɔsi sɛ mobɛhunu sɛ, Onyankopɔn Ahennie no reba tumi mu!”
AND he said unto them, I tell you of a certainty, that there are some standing here who shall not taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God come with power.
2 Nnansia akyi, Yesu faa Petro, Yakobo ne Yohane de wɔn kɔɔ bepɔ tentene bi atifi. Saa ɛberɛ no, na obiara nni hɔ ka wɔn ho. Amonom hɔ ara, Yesu sakyerae animuonyam mu.
And six days after Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, only, and carrieth them up with him into an exceeding high mountain in great privacy; and was transfigured before them.
3 Nʼatadeɛ hyerɛn yɛɛ fitafita sene sɛdeɛ obi bɛtumi ahoro saa atadeɛ no ama ayɛ fitaa no.
His garments became glistering, exceeding white, like snow; such as no fuller upon earth can whiten.
4 Afei Elia ne Mose bɛfirii hɔ. Na wɔne Yesu kasaeɛ!
And there appeared to him Elias with Moses: and they were conversing with Jesus.
5 Petro ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, ɛyɛ sɛ yɛwɔ ha. Yɛbɛbɔ asese mmiɛnsa wɔ ha, wo deɛ baako, Mose deɛ baako na Elia deɛ baako.”
Then Peter addressing him, said unto him, Master, it is desirable for us to be here: and let us erect three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 Esiane sɛ na wɔabɔ hu no enti na ɛma ɔkaa saa.
For he knew not what he should say: for they were very much affrighted.
7 Na omununkum bɛkataa wɔn so. Ɛnne bi firii omununkum no mu kaa sɛ, “Yei ne me Dɔ Ba. Montie no.”
And there came a cloud overshadowing them: and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 Prɛko pɛ, wɔtotoo wɔn ani no, wɔanhunu obiara ka Yesu ho.
And instantly looking round, they saw no man any longer with them, but Jesus only.
9 Wɔresiane afiri bepɔ no so no, Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano sɛ wɔnnka deɛ wɔahunu no nkyerɛ obiara kɔsi sɛ Onipa Ba no bɛsɔre afiri awufoɔ mu.
And as they were coming down from the mountain, he strictly charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seen, till after the Son of man should have arisen from the dead.
10 Asuafoɔ no anka ankyerɛ obiara, na mmom, ɛyɛ a, na wɔtaa bisabisa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, nʼasɛm a ɔkaa sɛ, “Mɛnyane afiri awufoɔ mu” no, na ɔkyerɛ sɛn?
And they caught at that word, considering among themselves what this rising from the dead could mean.
11 Afei, nʼasuafoɔ no bisaa no deɛ enti a daa mmara no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no ka sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Elia sane ba ansa na Onipa Ba no aba no.
And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes, that Elias must come first?
12 Yesu gye too mu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Elia di ɛkan ba bɛtoto nneɛma nyinaa yie. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ na adɛn enti na wɔatwerɛ sɛ Onipa Ba no bɛhunu amane bebree na wɔapo no?
Then he answering said unto them, Elias indeed cometh first, and will reform all things; and how speaks the scripture of the Son of man? That he must suffer many things, and be treated with contempt.
13 Nanso me se mo sɛ, Elia aba dada! Na wɔne no anni no yie sɛdeɛ adiyifoɔ no hyɛɛ ho nkɔm no.”
But I say unto you, that Elias is come, and they have done to him whatsoever they chose, as it is written of him.
14 Ɛberɛ a wɔsiane bɛduruu bepɔ no ase hɔ no, wɔhunuu sɛ nnipakuo atwa asuafoɔ a wɔaka no ho ahyia, na wɔne mmara no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no regye wɔn ho wɔn ho akyinnyeɛ.
And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great crowd around them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15 Ɛberɛ a nnipakuo no hunuu Yesu no wɔn ho dwirii wɔn, na wɔde mmirika, bɛhyiaa no.
And immediately all the multitude, when they beheld him, were struck with amazement, and coming to him, saluted him.
16 Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Akyinnyeɛ a na moregye no fa ɛdeɛn ho?”
And he asked the scribes, What are ye disputing about among yourselves?
17 Nnipa no mu baako kaa sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, mede me ba aba ha sɛ sa no yadeɛ. Honhommɔne bi a ɛwɔ ne so enti, ɔntumi nkasa.
And one of the people addressing him, said, Master, I have brought my son to thee, who hath a dumb spirit;
18 Sɛ honhommɔne no ka ne ho wɔ ne mu a, ɛtwa no hwe fam, ma nʼano twa ahuro, ma ɔtwɛre ne se, ma ɔsensene. Ɛno enti, mesrɛɛ wʼasuafoɔ no sɛ wɔntu honhommɔne no mfiri ne mu, nanso wɔantumi.”
and wherever he seizeth him, he throws him into strong convulsions: and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were unable.
19 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “O, mo a mo gyidie sua, me ne mo ntena nkɔsi da bɛn ansa na mo gyidie atim? Momfa abarimaa no mmrɛ me.”
Then addressing him, he said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me.
20 Wɔde abarimaa no brɛɛ Yesu. Ɛberɛ a wɔde no duruu Yesu anim pɛ no, yadeɛ no baa dendeenden, twaa no hwee fam, ma ɔperee ara a nʼano retwa ahuro.
And they brought him unto him. And seeing him, instantly the spirit threw him into convulsions; and falling to the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
21 Yesu bisaa abarimaa no agya sɛ, “Nna ahe ni a yadeɛ yi baa ne so?” Abarimaa no agya buaa Yesu sɛ, “Ɛfiri ne mmɔfraase pɛɛ;
And he asked his father, For how long a time hath this been the case with him? And he replied, From his infancy.
22 na ɛtɔ ɛda bi koraa a, yadeɛ no tumi twa no hwe ogya anaa nsuo mu, pɛ sɛ ɛkum no. Enti, sɛ wobɛtumi asa no yadeɛ deɛ a, hunu yɛn mmɔbɔ, na sa no yadeɛ ma yɛn.”
And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into water, to destroy him: but if thou art able, have compassion upon us, and help us.
23 Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woka sɛ, sɛ mɛtumi a? Nneɛma nyinaa bɛtumi ayɛ hɔ ama obiara a ɔgye die.”
Then said Jesus unto him, This is the point: if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 Abarimaa no agya buaa sɛ, “Mewɔ gyidie nanso ɛsua, enti boa me, na hyɛ me gyidie mu den!”
And immediately the father of the child said with tears, I believe, Lord! help my unbelief!
25 Yesu hunuu sɛ nnipa no dɔ ara na wɔredɔɔso no, ɔteaa honhommɔne no sɛ, “Honhommɔne sotifoɔ ne mumu, mehyɛ wo sɛ, firi abɔfra yi mu fi. Nkɔhyɛ ne mu bio!”
Then Jesus, seeing that the multitude were running up to him, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more.
26 Afei, yadeɛ no baa dendeenden ansa na ɛrefiri ne mu, enti ɛmaa abarimaa no yɛɛ sɛ owufoɔ. Enti, nnipakuo no kasaa huhuhuhu sɛ, “Wawu.”
And screaming, and convulsing him violently, it came out: and the child lay as if dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 Nanso, Yesu sɔɔ ne nsa, pagyaa no ma ɔgyinaa ne nan so a ne ho atɔ no.
But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up; and he arose.
28 Yei akyi a Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no nko ara wɔ efie no, wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na yɛn deɛ yɛantumi antu saa honhommɔne no?”
And when he was come into the house, the disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out?
29 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mpaeɛbɔ nko ara na ɛbɛtumi atu saa yadeɛ yi.”
And he said to them, this kind can be driven out by nothing but prayer and fasting.
30 Yesu firii hɔ no, ɔfaa Galilea, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔmpɛ sɛ nnipa te ne nka.
And going from thence, they passed through Galilee: and he would not have any person know it.
31 Na ɔpɛ sɛ ɔnya berɛ ma nʼasuafoɔ no de kyerɛkyerɛ wɔn. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Wɔbɛyi Onipa Ba no ama, na wɔakum no, na ne nnansa so, ɔbɛsɔre aba nkwa mu bio.”
For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him: and after being killed, the third day he shall rise again.
32 Asuafoɔ no ante asɛm a ɔkaeɛ yi ase, nanso na wɔsuro sɛ wɔbɛbisa no aseɛ.
But they understood not the meaning of that declaration, and were afraid to ask him.
33 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no baa Kapernaum. Ɛberɛ a wɔduruu efie a wɔbɛtena mu no mu na wɔregye wɔn ahome no, Yesu bisaa nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Yɛreba no, ɛdeɛn akyinnyeɛ na na moregye wɔ ɛkwan so no?”
And he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he asked them, What was the subject of your dispute among yourselves on the road?
34 Asuafoɔ no antumi ammua ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔredwennwene deɛ ɔbɛyɛ wɔn mu kɛseɛ no ho.
But they held their peace. For they had been disputing with each other on the road, which was the greatest.
35 Ɔtenaa ase, frɛɛ wɔn baa ne nkyɛn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔpanin wɔ mo mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ abɔfra anaa ɔsomfoɔ wɔ mo mu!”
And when he was seated, he called the twelve, and saith to them, If any man desires to be the first, let him be last of all, and servant of all.
36 Afei, ɔde abɔfra ketewa bi bɛgyinaa wɔn mfimfini. Ɔde abɔfra no kyerɛɛ wɔn kaa sɛ,
And taking a little boy, he set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto them,
37 “Mo mu biara a me enti ɔbɛgye abɔfra ketewa sɛ yei no, agye me, na deɛ ɔbɛgye me no nso agye mʼAgya a ɔsomaa me no!”
Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me merely, but him that sent me.
38 Yohane a ɔyɛ asuafoɔ no mu baako no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, yɛhunuu ɔbarima bi a ɔde wo din retu ahonhommɔne enti yɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnnyae, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔnka yɛn ho.”
Then John addressed him, saying, Master, we saw a person in thy name casting out devils, who followeth us not: and we forbad him, because he did not follow us.
39 Yesu kaa sɛ, “Monnsi no ɛkwan. Ɛfiri sɛ, obiara nni hɔ a ɔreyɛ anwanwadeɛ wɔ me din mu na ɔbɛtwa ne ho atia me,
Then said Jesus, Forbid him not: for there is no man who shall perform a miracle in my name, who will be able presently after to speak evil of me.
40 na obiara a ɔntia yɛn no wɔ yɛn afa.
For he that is not against us, is for us.
41 Obiara a ɛsiane sɛ, moyɛ Kristo dea no enti, ɔbɛma mo nsuo kuruwa ma anom no, nʼakatua remmɔ no da.
For whosoever shall give you even a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to the Messiah, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
42 “Enti, sɛ obi to mmɔfra nketewa a wɔgye me di yi mu bi suntidua a, ɛyɛ ma no sɛ anka wɔde ɛboɔ duruduru bɛsɛn ne kɔn mu, ato no atwene ɛpo mu.
And whosoever shall give occasion of offence to one of these little ones who believe in me, it were desirable for him rather that a milestone were hanged about his neck, and that he were cast into the sea.
43 Sɛ wo nsa ma woyɛ bɔne a, twa na to twene. Ɛyɛ ma wo sɛ wode dɛm bɛkɔ nkwa mu sene sɛ, wode wo onipadua nyinaa bɛto amanehunu ogya (Geenna g1067)
And if thy hand cause thee to offend, cut it off: it were better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having both hands to go into hell, into the fire that never will be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
44 a ɛnnum da no mu.
where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 Na sɛ wo nan ma woyɛ bɔne a, twa na to twene. Ɛyɛ ma wo sɛ wode nansin bɛkɔ nkwa mu sene sɛ, wode nan mmienu bɛkɔ amanehunu ogya (Geenna g1067)
And if thy foot cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life halting, than having both feet to be cast into hell, into the fire which never can be quenched: (Geenna g1067)
46 a ɛnnum da no mu.”
where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 Na sɛ wʼani ma woyɛ bɔne a, tu na to twene. Ɛyɛ ma wo sɛ wode ani baako bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie mu sene sɛ wowɔ ani mmienu na wɔde wo bɛto amanehunu ogya mu, (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye cause thee to offend, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of hell: (Geenna g1067)
48 baabi a “‘ogya no ɛnnum da, na ɛhɔ asonsono nso nwu da.’
where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 Na wɔde ogya bɛhyɛ wɔn nyinaa nkyene.
For every one shall be salted with fire, and every victim shall be sprinkled with salt.
50 “Nkyene yɛ dɛ, nanso sɛ nkyene yera ne dɛ a, ɛho nni mfasoɔ; wonte ne dɛ wɔ biribiara mu. Enti, monnyera mo dɛ! Mo ne mo ho mo ho ntena asomdwoeɛ mu.”
Salt is good: but if the salt become insipid, with what will you season it? have salt in yourselves, and live in peace with each other.
