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!”
He said to them, "Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste 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.
After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
3 Nʼatadeɛ hyerɛn yɛɛ fitafita sene sɛdeɛ obi bɛtumi ahoro saa atadeɛ no ama ayɛ fitaa no.
His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 Afei Elia ne Mose bɛfirii hɔ. Na wɔne Yesu kasaeɛ!
Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking 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.”
Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
6 Esiane sɛ na wɔabɔ hu no enti na ɛma ɔkaa saa.
For he did not know what to answer, for they became very afraid.
7 Na omununkum bɛkataa wɔn so. Ɛnne bi firii omununkum no mu kaa sɛ, “Yei ne me Dɔ Ba. Montie no.”
A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
8 Prɛko pɛ, wɔtotoo wɔn ani no, wɔanhunu obiara ka Yesu ho.
Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.
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.
As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen 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?
They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the "rising from the dead" meant.
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.
They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah 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?
And he said to them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. And why is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be rejected?
13 Nanso me se mo sɛ, Elia aba dada! Na wɔne no anni no yie sɛdeɛ adiyifoɔ no hyɛɛ ho nkɔm no.”
But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about 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 they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes questioning them.
15 Ɛberɛ a nnipakuo no hunuu Yesu no wɔn ho dwirii wɔn, na wɔde mmirika, bɛhyiaa no.
Immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.
16 Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Akyinnyeɛ a na moregye no fa ɛdeɛn ho?”
He asked them, "What are you arguing about with them?"
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 out of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute 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 it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and wastes away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren't able."
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.”
And answering, he said to them, "You unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long must I put up 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.
They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and 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;
He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has come to him?" He said, "From childhood.
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 it has often cast him both into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on 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.”
Jesus said to him, "'If you can?' All things are possible to him who believes."
24 Abarimaa no agya buaa sɛ, “Mewɔ gyidie nanso ɛsua, enti boa me, na hyɛ me gyidie mu den!”
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe. 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!”
When Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, "You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again."
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.”
Having screamed, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, "He is dead."
27 Nanso, Yesu sɔɔ ne nsa, pagyaa no ma ɔgyinaa ne nan so a ne ho atɔ no.
But Jesus took him by the hand, and 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 had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"
29 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mpaeɛbɔ nko ara na ɛbɛtumi atu saa yadeɛ yi.”
And he said to them, "This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer and fasting."
30 Yesu firii hɔ no, ɔfaa Galilea, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔmpɛ sɛ nnipa te ne nka.
They went out from there, and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to 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 was teaching his disciples, and said to them, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he will rise again."
32 Asuafoɔ no ante asɛm a ɔkaeɛ yi ase, nanso na wɔsuro sɛ wɔbɛbisa no aseɛ.
But they did not understand the saying, 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?”
He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing on the way?"
34 Asuafoɔ no antumi ammua ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔredwennwene deɛ ɔbɛyɛ wɔn mu kɛseɛ no ho.
But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who 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 he sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all."
36 Afei, ɔde abɔfra ketewa bi bɛgyinaa wɔn mfimfini. Ɔde abɔfra no kyerɛɛ wɔn kaa sɛ,
He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to 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!”
"Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, does not receive me, but him who 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.”
John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he was not following 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,
But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40 na obiara a ɔntia yɛn no wɔ yɛn afa.
For whoever 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 whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you belong to the Christ, truly I tell you, he will in no way 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.
Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he was thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
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)
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
44 a ɛnnum da no mu.
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)
If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
46 a ɛnnum da no mu.”
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)
If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell, (Geenna g1067)
48 baabi a “‘ogya no ɛnnum da, na ɛhɔ asonsono nso nwu da.’
'where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'
49 Na wɔde ogya bɛhyɛ wɔn nyinaa nkyene.
For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted 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 has lost its saltiness, how can you make it salty? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."
