Mateo 11
1 Yesu wiee nʼasuafoɔ dumienu no kasakyerɛ no, ɔfirii hɔ kɔɔ nkuro a ɛbemmɛn no mu kɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ asɛm no.
And it came to passe that when Iesus had made an ende of commaunding his twelue disciples, hee departed thence to teache and to preach in their cities.
2 Yohane Osubɔni a saa ɛberɛ no na ɔda afiase no tee anwanwadeɛ a Kristo reyɛ no, ɔsomaa nʼasuafoɔ bɛbisaa no sɛ,
And when Iohn heard in the prison the woorkes of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and sayde vnto him,
3 “Wo ne deɛ ɔreba no, anaa yɛnhwɛ ɔfoforɔ anim?”
Art thou he that shoulde come, or shall we looke for another?
4 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Monsane nkɔ, nkɔka anwanwadeɛ a moahunu ne deɛ moate nkyerɛ Yohane sɛ,
And Iesus answering, said vnto them, Goe, and shewe Iohn, what things ye heare, and see.
5 anifirafoɔ hunu adeɛ, mmubuafoɔ nante, akwatafoɔ ho ate, asotifoɔ te asɛm, na awufoɔ nso nyane. Afei, monka nkyerɛ no sɛ, meka asɛmpa no kyerɛ ahiafoɔ.
The blinde receiue sight, and the halt doe walke: the lepers are clensed, and the deafe heare, the dead are raised vp, and the poore receiue the Gospel.
6 Monsane nka nkyerɛ no bio sɛ, Nhyira ne deɛ merenyɛ no suntidua.”
And blessed is he that shall not be offeded in me.
7 Yohane asuafoɔ no kɔeɛ no, Yesu hyɛɛ aseɛ kaa Yohane ho asɛm kyerɛɛ nnipadɔm no. Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mokɔɔ ɛserɛ so no, ɛdeɛn na mokɔɔ sɛ morekɔhwɛ? Ɛserɛ a mframa rebɔ no?
And as they departed, Iesus beganne to speake vnto the multitude, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?
8 Anaa na mosusu sɛ mobɛhunu ɔbarima bi a wahyehyɛ sɛ ɔhene ba te ahemfie?
But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that weare soft clothing, are in Kings houses.
9 Anaa Onyankopɔn odiyifoɔ? Ɛnneɛ, mereka makyerɛ mo sɛ, ɔsene odiyifoɔ.
But what went ye out to see? A Prophet? Yea, I say vnto you, and more then a Prophet.
10 Na saa Yohane yi na Atwerɛsɛm no ka fa ne ho sɛ, “‘Mɛsoma me ɔbɔfoɔ adi wʼanim ɛkan. Ɔno na ɔbɛsiesie ɛkwan ama wo.’
For this is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Nokorɛ nie, nnipa a mmaa awo wɔn nyinaa mu, obiara nni hɔ a ɔyɛ kɛse sene Yohane Osubɔni. Nanso, deɛ ɔyɛ aketewa koraa wɔ Ɔsoro Ahennie mu no yɛ ɔkɛseɛ sene no!
Verely I say vnto you, among them which are begotten of women, arose there not a greater then Iohn Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is the least in the kingdome of heauen, is greater then he.
12 Na ɛfiri ɛberɛ a Yohane Osubɔni firii aseɛ kaa asɛmpa no, bɔɔ nkurɔfoɔ asu de bɛsi ɛnnɛ no, Ɔsoro Ahennie no de tumi retrɛ na nnipadɔm a wɔn ani abereɛ refa no aniɛden so.
And from the time of Iohn Baptist hitherto, the kingdome of heauen suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13 Ansa na Yohane rebɛba no, na adiyifoɔ ne Mose mmara no aka ɔsoro ahennie no ho asɛm dada.
For all the Prophetes and the Lawe prophecied vnto Iohn.
14 Sɛ mopɛ sɛ mote deɛ mereka no ase deɛ a, Yohane no, ɔno ne Elia a adiyifoɔ no hyɛɛ ne ho nkɔm sɛ ɔbɛba no.
And if ye will receiue it, this is that Elias, which was to come.
15 Deɛ ɔwɔ aso no, ɔntie!
He that hath eares to heare, let him heare.
16 “Ɛdeɛn ho na mɛtumi de nnɛmmafoɔ yi atoto? Wɔte sɛ mmɔfra a wɔte baabi redi agorɔ. Ɛfa ka kyerɛ ɛfa sɛ,
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like vnto litle children which sit in the markets, and call vnto their fellowes,
17 “‘Yɛtoo anigyeɛ nnwom maa mo, nanso moansa. Yɛtoo awerɛhoɔ nnwom nso maa mo, nanso moansu.’
And say, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced, we haue mourned vnto you, and ye haue not lamented.
18 Yohane baeɛ a ɔnnidi na ɔnnom no, wɔse, ‘Ɔwɔ honhommɔne.’
For Iohn came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a deuill.
19 Onipa Ba no baeɛ a ɔdidi na ɔnom no nso, wɔse, ‘Monhwɛ odidifoɔ ne ɔsanomfoɔ a ɔyɛ ɔtogyefoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ adamfo!’ Nanso, wɔn a wɔdi Onyankopɔn akyi nokorɛ mu no deɛ, wɔn bra di adanseɛ sɛ, nʼakwan nyinaa yɛ.”
The sonne of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Beholde a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend vnto Publicanes and sinners: but wisedome is iustified of her children.
20 Afei, ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ kaa nkuro a ɔyɛɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ wɔ hɔ nanso wɔannu wɔn ho no anim sɛ,
Then began he to vpbraide the cities, wherein most of his great workes were done, because they repented not.
21 “Korasin, due! Betsaida, due! Anwanwadeɛ a meyɛɛ no mo mu no, sɛ meyɛɛ no Tiro ne Sidon a, anka ɛhɔfoɔ no de awerɛhoɔ ne ahonuo asakyera wɔn adwene dada.
Woe be to thee, Chorazin: Woe be to thee, Bethsaida: for if ye great workes, which were done in you, had bene done in Tyrus and Sidon, they had repented long agone in sackecloth and ashes.
22 Atemmuo da no, asɛm a ɛbɛto wɔn no bɛsene deɛ ɛbɛto Tiro ne Sidon!
But I say to you, It shalbe easier for Tyrus and Sidon at the day of iudgement, then for you.
23 Na wo Kapernaum, wopɛ sɛ woma wo ho so, nanso wɔbɛbrɛ wo ase de wo akɔ asaman. Anwanwadeɛ a meyɛɛ no wo hɔ no, sɛ wɔyɛɛ no wɔ Sodom a, anka ɛda so wɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ. (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, which art lifted vp vnto heauen, shalt be brought downe to hell: for if the great workes, which haue bin done in thee, had bene done among them of Sodom, they had remained to this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Mereka nokorɛ akyerɛ mo sɛ, Atemmuo da no, Tiro ne Sodom bɛnya gyinabea pa asene mo!”
But I say vnto you, that it shall be easier for them of the land of Sodom in the day of iudgement, then for thee.
25 Asɛnka no akyi, Yesu bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Agya, ɔsoro ne asasewura, meda wo ase sɛ woanna nokorɛ no adi ankyerɛ wɔn a wɔsusu sɛ wɔyɛ anyansafoɔ, na mmom, wodaa nokorɛ no adi kyerɛɛ mmɔfra nkumaa.
At that time Iesus answered, and saide, I giue thee thankes, O Father, Lord of heauen and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and men of vnderstanding, and hast opened them vnto babes.
26 Aane, Agya, wo pɛ mu na woma ɛbaa saa.
It is so, O Father, because thy good pleasure was such.
27 “Mʼagya no de nneɛma nyinaa ahyɛ me nsa. Obiara nnim Ɔba no gye Agya no nko ara. Na obiara nnim Agya no gye Ɔba no, ne wɔn a Ɔba no pɛ sɛ ɔda no adi kyerɛ wɔn.
All things are giuen vnto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Sonne, but ye Father: neither knoweth any man ye Father, but the Sonne, and he to whom ye Sonne will reueile him.
28 “Mo a moayɛ adwuma abrɛ na moasoa nnesoa nyinaa, mommra me nkyɛn, na mɛma mo ahome.
Come vnto me, all ye that are wearie and laden, and I will ease you.
29 Momfa me kɔnnua nto mo ho so, na monsua me, ɛfiri sɛ, medwo, na mebrɛ me ho ase akoma mu, na mobɛnya ahome ama mo kra.
Take my yoke on you, and learne of me that I am meeke and lowly in heart: and ye shall finde rest vnto your soules.
30 Ɛfiri sɛ, me kɔnnua yɛ mmerɛ, na mʼadesoa yɛ hare.”
For my yoke is easie, and my burden light.
