1 Yesu frɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ dumienu no baa ne nkyɛn, na ɔmaa wɔn tumi sɛ wɔntu ahonhommɔne na wɔnsa nyarewa ne ahoɔmmerɛ nyinaa.
And hee called his twelue disciples vnto him, and gaue them power against vncleane spirits, to cast them out, and to heale euery sickenesse, and euery disease.
2 Yesu asuafoɔ dumienu no din nie: Simon a ne din baako ne Petro ne ne nua Andrea; Yakobo ne ne nua Yohane a wɔyɛ Sebedeo mma no,
Nowe the names of the twelue Apostles are these. The first is Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother: Iames the sonne of Zebedeus, and Iohn his brother.
3 Filipo ne Bartolomeo, Toma ne ɔtogyefoɔ Mateo, Yakobo, Alfeo ba ɛne Tadeo,
Philippe and Bartlemewe: Thomas, and Matthewe that Publicane: Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Lebbeus whose surname was Thaddeus:
4 Simon a ɔfiri Kana ne Yuda Iskariot a akyire yi, ɔyii Yesu maeɛ no.
Simon the Cananite, and Iudas Iscariot, who also betraied him.
5 Yesu somaa asuafoɔ dumienu no hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnkɔ deɛ amanamanmufoɔ wɔ anaa Samariafoɔ kuro biara mu,
These twelue did Iesus send forth, and commanded them, saying, Goe not into the way of of the Gentiles, and into the cities of the Samaritans enter yee not:
6 na mmom, monkɔ Onyankopɔn nnwan a wɔwɔ Israel a wɔayera no nkyɛn.
But goe rather to the lost sheepe of the house of Israel.
7 Monkɔka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn Ahennie no abɛn!’
And as ye goe, preach, saying, The kingdome of heauen is at hand.
8 Monsa ayarefoɔ yadeɛ, monnyane awufoɔ, momma akwatafoɔ ho nte, na montu ahonhommɔne. Sɛdeɛ monyaa no kwa no, saa ara na mo nso momfa mma kwa.
Heale the sicke: cleanse the lepers: raise vp the dead: cast out the deuils. Freely ye haue receiued, freely giue.
9 “Mommfa sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ anaa kɔbere biara mmɔ mo ho.
Possesse not golde, nor siluer, nor money in your girdels,
10 Mommfa akwantubɔtɔ anaa ntadeɛ anaa mpaboa anaa poma mmienu. Ɛsɛ sɛ odwumayɛfoɔ didi.
Nor a scrippe for the iourney, neither two coates, neither shoes, nor a staffe: for the workeman is worthie of his meate.
11 Kuro biara a mobɛkɔ mu anaa akuraa biara a mobɛkɔ aseɛ no, monhwehwɛ onipa a onyamesuro wɔ ne mu akyiri kwan na montena ne nkyɛn kɔsi da a mobɛfiri hɔ akɔ baabi foforɔ.
And into whatsoeuer citie or towne ye shall come, enquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till yee goe thence.
12 Sɛ mokɔ efie bi mu a, monkyea wɔn sɛ, ‘Asomdwoeɛ nka mo!’
And when yee come into an house, salute the same.
13 Sɛ saa efie no mufoɔ gye mo fɛ so a, monhyira wɔn, na sɛ wɔannye mo deɛ a, monnhyira wɔn.
And if the house be worthy, let your peace come vpon it: but if it be not worthie, let your peace returne to you.
14 Sɛ morefiri efie anaa kuro biara a wɔannye mo wɔ mu no mu akɔ a, momporoporo efie no anaa kuro no mu mfuturo a ɛwɔ mo nan ase no ngu hɔ.
And whosoeuer shall not receiue you, nor heare your woordes, when yee depart out of that house, or that citie, shake off the dust of your feete.
15 Nokorɛ nie, Atemmuo da no, Sodom ne Gomora mpo bɛnya baabi agyina wɔ Onyankopɔn anim sene saa kuro no.
Truely I say vnto you, it shall be easier for them of the lande of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of iudgement, then for that citie.
16 “Monkae sɛ meresoma mo sɛ nnwan akɔ mpataku mu. Monyɛ anifire sɛ awɔ na monnwo sɛ mmorɔnoma.
Behold, I send you as sheepe in the middes of the wolues: be yee therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doues.
17 Nanso, monhwɛ yie wɔ nnipa ho! Wɔbɛkyere mo, adi mo asɛm, abɔ mo mmaa wɔ wɔn asɔredan mu.
But beware of men, for they will deliuer you vp to the Councils, and will scourge you in their Synagogues.
18 Me enti, wɔde mo bɛkɔ atumfoɔ ne ahene anim. Yei bɛma mo anya ɛkwan aka asɛmpa no akyerɛ wɔn ne amanamanmufoɔ no.
And ye shall be brought to the gouernours and Kings for my sake, in witnes to them, and to the Gentiles.
19 Sɛ wɔkyere mo a, monnnwene asɛm a mobɛka de ayi mo ho ano. Wɔde asɛm a mobɛka no bɛma mo ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu.
But when they deliuer you vp, take no thought howe or what ye shall speake: for it shall be giuen you in that houre, what ye shall say.
20 Asɛm a mobɛka no remfiri mo, na mmom, mo ɔsoro Agya no honhom na ɔnam mo so bɛkasa.
For it is not yee that speake, but the spirite of your father which speaketh in you.
21 “Onua bɛyi onua ama sɛ wɔakum no. Saa ara na agyanom nso bɛyi wɔn mma ama. Mma bɛsɔre atia wɔn awofoɔ ama wɔakum wɔn.
And the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the sonne, and the children shall rise against their parents, and shall cause them to die.
22 Me enti, nnipa nyinaa bɛtan mo. Nanso, deɛ ɔbɛtumi agyina pintinn akɔsi awieeɛ no, wɔbɛgye no nkwa.
And yee shall be hated of all men for my Name: but he that endureth to the end, he shall be saued.
23 Sɛ wɔtaa mo kuro baako mu a, monnwane nkɔ kuro foforɔ mu. Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, morenwie Israel nkuro nyinaa mu adwumayɛ ansa na Onipa Ba no aba.
And when they persecute you in this citie, flee into another: for verely I say vnto you, yee shall not goe ouer all the cities of Israel, till the Sonne of man be come.
24 “Osuani nsene ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, na akoa nso nsene ne wura.
The disciple is not aboue his master, nor the seruant aboue his Lord.
25 Osuani sua ne ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, na akoa nso sua ne wura. Enti, sɛ me a meyɛ efie no ti no wɔfrɛ me ‘Ɔbonsam’ a, ɛdeɛn din na wɔremfa mfrɛ mo!
It is ynough for the disciple to bee as his master is, and the seruaunt as his Lord. If they haue called the master of the house Beel-zebub, howe much more them of his housholde?
26 “Monnsuro wɔn a wɔbɛhunahuna mo. Mmerɛ bi bɛba a nokorɛ no bɛda adi. Deɛ wɔyɛ no kɔkoam no nyinaa bɛda adi.
Feare them not therefore: for there is nothing couered, that shall not be disclosed, nor hid, that shall not be knowen.
27 Deɛ mereka makyerɛ mo wɔ esum mu yi, monka wɔ hann mu. Deɛ mereka agu mo asom yi, mompae mu nka wɔ adan atifi.
What I tell you in darkenesse, that speake yee in light: and what yee heare in the eare, that preach yee on the houses.
28 Monnsuro wɔn a wɔbɛtumi akum mo onipadua nanso wɔrentumi nkum mo kra no. Onyankopɔn a ɔbɛtumi akum onipadua no ne ɔkra wɔ amanehunu kurom no nko ara na monsuro no. (Geenna g1067)
And feare yee not them which kill the bodie, but are nor able to kill the soule: but rather feare him, which is able to destroy both soule and bodie in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Wɔtɔn akasanoma gye ahe? Mmienu boɔ nyɛ sika bi pɛ? Nanso akasanoma biara nni hɔ a ɔbɛwu a mo Agya no nnim ho biribi.
Are not two sparrowes sold for a farthing, and one of them shall not fal on the ground without your Father?
30 Mo tirinwi mpo, wɔakan ne nyinaa.
Yea, and all the heares of your head are nombred.
31 Enti, monnsuro! Mosom bo ma Onyankopɔn sene nkasanoma.
Feare ye not therefore, yee are of more value then many sparowes.
32 “Obiara a ɔbɛka sɛ ɔnim me nnipa anim no, me nso mɛka sɛ menim no mʼagya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no anim.
Whosoeuer therefore shall confesse me before men, him will I confesse also before my Father which is in heauen.
33 Nanso, obiara a ɔbɛka sɛ ɔnnim me nnipa anim no, me nso mɛka sɛ mennim no wɔ mʼagya a ɔwɔ ɔsoro no anim.
But whosoeuer shall denie me before me, him will I also denie before my Father which is in heauen.
34 “Monnsusu sɛ mede asomdwoeɛ na ɛbaa asase yi so! Ɛnyɛ asomdwoeɛ na mmom akofena na mede baeɛ.
Thinke not that I am come to sende peace into the earth: I came not to send peace, but the sworde.
35 Maba sɛ mɛma “‘ɔbabarima asɔre atia nʼagya, na ɔbabaa asɔre atia ne maame, na ɔbaa warefoɔ nso asɔre atia nʼasebaa.
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in lawe.
36 Obiara ɔtamfoɔ a ne ho yɛ hu no bɛfiri nʼankasa ne fie.’
And a mans enemies shall be they of his owne housholde.
37 “Deɛ ɔdɔ nʼagya anaa ne maame kyɛn me no rentumi nyɛ me deɛ. Saa ara na deɛ ɔdɔ ne babarima anaa ne babaa kyɛn me no rentumi nyɛ me deɛ ara no no.
He that loueth father or mother more then me, is not worthie of me. And he that loueth sonne, or daughter more then mee, is not worthie of me.
38 Sɛ obi amfa nʼasɛnnua na wammɛdi mʼakyi a, ɔrentumi nyɛ me deɛ.
And hee that taketh not his crosse, and followeth after me, is not worthie of me.
39 Sɛ woma wo ɔkra som wo bo a, wobɛhwere wo ɔkra no, nanso sɛ me enti wohwere wo ɔkra a, wo nsa bɛka.
He that will finde his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall finde it.
40 “Obiara a ɔgye mo no gye me, na deɛ ɔgye me no nso gye Onyankopɔn a ɔsomaa me no.
He that receiueth you, receiueth me: and hee that receiueth mee, receiueth him that hath sent me.
41 Sɛ wogye odiyifoɔ bi sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn onipa enti a, wɔbɛtua wo so ka sɛ odiyifoɔ no ara pɛ. Na sɛ wogye nnipa tenenee a, wobɛnya akatua sɛ onipa tenenee.
Hee that receiueth a Prophet in the name of a Prophet, shall receiue a Prophetes rewarde: and hee that receiueth a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, shall receiue the rewarde of a righteous man.
42 Na obiara a ɔbɛma mʼakyidifoɔ yi mu akumaa bi nsuo anom no, onii no akatua remmɔ no da.”
And whosoeuer shall giue vnto one of these litle ones to drinke a cuppe of colde water onely, in the name of a disciple, verely I say vnto you, he shall not lose his rewarde.
