< Mateo 13 >
1 Ɛda no ara Yesu firii adi kɔtenaa mpoano.
In (now *k*) the day that having gone forth Jesus (from *k*) [from] the house was sitting by the sea.
2 Nnipakuo kɔɔ ne nkyɛn wɔ hɔ. Ɔkɔtenaa kodoɔ bi mu a na nnipakuo no nso gyinagyina mpoano hɔ.
And were gathered together to Him crowds great so that He into (*k*) a boat having climbed into to sit down, and all the crowd on the shore had stood.
3 Ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn abɛbuo mu sɛ, “Okuafoɔ bi kɔɔ nʼafuom kɔguu aba.
And He spoke to them many things in parables saying; Behold went out the [one] sowing to sow.
4 Ɔgu so reguo no, aba no bi guu ɛkwan mu maa nnomaa bɛsosɔɔ ne nyinaa.
And in the sowing of him some indeed fell along the road, and (having come *N(k)(o)*) the birds (and *ko*) devoured them.
5 Ebi nso kɔguu abotan so. Ankyɛre na aba no fifiriiɛ.
Other now fell upon the rocky places where not it was having soil much, and immediately it sprang up through not having depth of soil.
6 Esiane sɛ na dɔteɛ a ɛwɔ abotan no so sua no enti, owia bɔɔ so no, ne nyinaa hyeeɛ.
when [the] sun now having risen they were scorched, and through the not having root were dried up.
7 Aba no bi nso guu nkasɛɛ mu, na nkasɛɛ no nyiniiɛ no ɛmiaa no.
Other now fell upon the thorns, and grew up the thorns and (choked *N(k)O*) them.
8 Aba no bi guu asase pa mu. Ɛnyiniiɛ, soo aba mmɔho aduasa; ebi aduosia ɛnna afoforɔ nso ɔha.
Other now fell upon the soil good and were yielding fruit, some indeed a hundredfold, some however sixty, some however thirty.
9 Deɛ ɔwɔ aso no, ma ɔntie!”
The [one] having ears (to hear *ko*) he should hear.
10 Ɔwiee ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no, nʼasuafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn na daa wonam abɛbuo so kasa kyerɛ nnipa no?”
And having come the disciples said to Him; Because of why in parables speak You to them?
11 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mo deɛ, wɔde Ɔsoro Ahennie ho ahintasɛm ama mo na wɔn deɛ, wɔmmfa mmaa wɔn.
And answering He said to them; Because to you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, to them however not it has been granted.
12 Deɛ ɔwɔ biribi no, wɔbɛma no bi aka ho na wanya ma abu ne so. Na deɛ ɔnni ahe bi no, kakra a ɔwɔ no mpo, wɔbɛgye afiri ne nsam.
Whoever for has, will be given to him and will be abundant [to him] whoever now not has, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Deɛ enti a ɛma mekasa kyerɛ wɔn abɛbuo mu no ne sɛ: “Wɔhunu deɛ, nanso wɔnhunu; wɔte deɛ, na wɔnte aseɛ.
Because of this in parables to them I speak Because seeing not do they see and hearing not do they hear nor do they understand.
14 Yei maa Yesaia nkɔm a ɔhyɛɛ sɛ: “‘Ɔte deɛ mobɛte, nanso morente aseɛ; ɔhunu deɛ mobɛhunu, nanso morenhunu no, aba mu.
And is fulfilled (concerning *k*) them the prophecy of Isaiah who is saying: In hearing you will hear and certainly not may understand, and looking you will look and certainly not may perceive.
15 Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔman yi akoma apirim. Wɔyɛ asoɔden; wɔakatakata wɔn ani. Sɛ ɛnte saa a anka wɔn ani bɛhunu adeɛ, na wɔn aso ate asɛm, na wɔn akoma ate asɛm ase, na wɔanu wɔn ho asane aba me nkyɛn na masa wɔn yadeɛ.’
Has grown dull for the heart of the people this, and with the ears barely they have heard, and the eyes of them they have closed; otherwise otherwise they may see with the eyes and with the ears they may hear and with the heart they may understand and may return and (I will heal *N(k)O*) them.’
16 Na mo deɛ, wɔahyira mo ani sɛ ɛnhunu adeɛ; wɔahyira mo aso sɛ ɛnte asɛm.
Of you however blessed [are] the eyes because they see and the ears of you because (they hear. *N(k)O*)
17 Na me deɛ mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, adiyifoɔ ne ateneneefoɔ pii pɛɛ sɛ wɔhunu deɛ mohunu no, nanso wɔanhunu. Wɔpɛɛ sɛ wɔte deɛ mote no, nanso wɔante.
Amen for I say to you that many prophets and righteous [men] longed to see what you see, and not saw, and to hear what you hear, and not heard.
18 “Afei, montie ɛbɛ a ɛfa okuafoɔ a ɔkɔguu aba wɔ nʼafuom no ho no asekyerɛ.
You yourselves therefore do hear the parable of the [one] (having sown: *N(k)O*)
19 Wɔn a wɔtie Onyankopɔn asɛm no, na wɔnte aseɛ no te sɛ aba a ɛguu ɛkwan mu no. Ɔbɔnefoɔ no ba, bɛhwim deɛ wɔadua wɔ wɔn akoma mu no.
Everyone hearing the word of the kingdom and not understanding comes the evil one and snatches away that having been sown in the heart of him; This is the [one] on the path having been sown.
20 Aba a ɛguu abotan soɔ no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte asɛm no, na wɔde anigyeɛ sɔ mu.
That which now upon the rocky places having been sown, this is the [one] the word hearing and immediately with joy receiving it.
21 Nanso, asɛm no ntim wɔ wɔn mu. Yei enti, ɛnkyɛre na asɛm no awu. Esiane sɛ asɛm no awuo enti, sɛ ɔhaw anaa ɔtaa bi ba a, wɔpa aba.
no he has now root in himself but temporary is. when is coming however tribulation or persecution on account of the word immediately he falls away.
22 Aba a ɛguu nkasɛɛ mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔtie asɛm no, nanso ewiase yi mu abrabɔ mu haw ne agyapadeɛ ho dwene enti, ɛmma asɛm no ntumi nnyɛ wɔn mu adwuma. (aiōn )
That which now among the thorns having been sown, this is the [one] the word hearing, and the care of the age (this *ko*) and the deceit of riches choke the word, and unfruitful it becomes. (aiōn )
23 Na aba a ɛguu asase pa mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔtie asɛm no, na wɔte aseɛ. Wɔso aba mmɔho aduasa; ebi aduosia; ɛnna afoforɔ nso, ɔha.”
That however on the good (*k*) soil having been sown, this is the [one] the word hearing and understanding, who indeed brings forth fruit and produces — some indeed a hundredfold, some however sixty, some however thirty.
24 Yesu de ɛbɛ foforɔ kaa asɛm sɛ, “Ɔsoro Ahennie no te sɛ okuafoɔ bi a ɔdua aba wɔ nʼafuom.
Another parable put He before them saying; Has become like the kingdom of the heavens a man (having sown *N(k)O*) good seed in the field of him.
25 Ɛda koro anadwo a wada no, ne ɔtamfoɔ nso bɛduaa wira fraa aburoo a wadua no.
In now the [time] to sleep the men came his enemy and (over-sowed *N(k)O*) weeds in [the] midst of the wheat and went away.
26 Aburoo no renyini no, na wira no nso renyini.
When now sprouted the plants and fruit produced, then appeared also the weeds.
27 “Okuafoɔ no apaafoɔ bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Owura, aba a woduaeɛ no, wira bi afifiri wɔ aseɛ!’
Having come to [him] now the servants of the master of the house said to him; Sir, surely good seed did you sow in your field? How then has it (the *k*) weeds?
28 “Okuafoɔ no buaa sɛ, ‘Ɔtamfoɔ bi na ɔduaeɛ!’ “Apaafoɔ no bisaa no sɛ, ‘Wopɛ sɛ yɛkɔtutu saa wira no anaa?’
He then was saying to them; An enemy a man this did. And the servants (they say *N(k)O*) to him: Do you desire then [that] having gone forth (we shall gather *NK(o)*) them?
29 “Ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, ‘Dabi! Anhwɛ a na moatutu aburoo no bi afra wira no.
And (he says; *N(k)O*) No, lest when lest when gathering the weeds you may uproot together [with] them the wheat.
30 Momma ne nyinaa nyini nkɔsi otwa berɛ na mama atwafoɔ ayiyi wira no afiri aburoo no mu ahye no, na wɔde aburoo no nso agu asan so.’”
do allow to grow together both (until *N(k)O*) the harvest; and in (the *k*) time of the harvest I will say to the harvesters; do gather first the weeds and do bind them into bundles in order to burn them; and the wheat (do gather together *NK(o)*) into the barn of mine.’
31 Yesu buu wɔn ɛbɛ foforɔ sɛ, “Ɔsoro Ahennie te sɛ onyina aba ketewa bi a obi duaa wɔ nʼafuom.
Another parable put He before them saying; Like is the kingdom of the heavens to a grain of mustard, which having taken a man sowed in the field of him;
32 Ɛyɛ aba ketewaa bi, nanso sɛ ɛnyini a, ɛyɛ dutan kɛseɛ ma nnomaa kɔsisi ne mman so.”
which smallest indeed is of all the seeds, when however it may be grown, greater than the garden plants it is and becomes a tree so that to come the birds of the air and perching in the branches of it.
33 Ɔbuu wɔn ɛbɛ foforɔ sɛ, “Ɔsoro Ahennie te sɛ mmɔreka bi a burodotofoɔ de fotɔ mmɔre ma ɛtu.”
Another parable spoke He to them: Like is the kingdom of the heavens to leaven, which having taken a woman (hid *NK(o)*) in of flour measures three until of it was leavened all.
34 Yesu nam abɛbuo so na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ nnipadɔm no.
These things all spoke Jesus in parables to the crowds and without a parable (no [thing] *N(k)O*) He was speaking to them,
35 Esiane sɛ na adiyifoɔ ahyɛ nkɔm sɛ ɔnam abɛbuo so bɛkasa enti, wanka asɛm a wamfa abɛbuo amfra mu. Nkɔm a adiyifoɔ no hyɛeɛ ne sɛ, “Mɛkasa abɛbuo mu, na maka anwanwadeɛ mu ahintasɛm a ɛfiri adebɔ mfitiaseɛ.”
so that may be fulfilled that having been spoken through the prophet saying; I will open in parables the mouth of Mine, I will utter [things] hidden from [the] foundation [of the] world.
36 Afei, Yesu firii nnipadɔm no nkyɛn kɔɔ efie. Nʼasuafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ɔnkyerɛ wɔn abɛbuo a ɛfa ewira ne aba ho no ase.
Then having dismissed the crowds He went into the house (Jesus. *k*) And came to Him the disciples of Him saying; (do explain *N(k)O*) to us the parable of the weeds of the field.
37 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Me Onipa Ba no, mene okuafoɔ a ɔduaa aba no.
And answering He said (to them: *k*) The [One] sowing the good seed is the Son of Man;
38 Afuo no ne ewiase, na aba no nso gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔyɛ Ahennie no mma; ewira no nso gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔyɛ ɔbonsam mma.
and the field is the world; and [the] good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the weeds are the sons of the evil [one];
39 Ɔtamfoɔ a ɔduaa ewira fraa aburoo no ne ɔbɔnefoɔ no. Otwa berɛ no yɛ ewiase awieeɛ; atwafoɔ no ne abɔfoɔ. (aiōn )
and the enemy which having sown them is the devil; and the harvest [the] consummation (of the *k*) age is; and the harvesters angels are. (aiōn )
40 “Sɛdeɛ asɛnka no mu, wɔtutuu wira no firi aburoo no mu kɔhyee no no, saa ara na ɛbɛyɛ ewiase awieeɛ. (aiōn )
As therefore is gathered the weeds and in fire (is burned up, *NK(o)*) thus it will be in the consummation of the age (this. *k*) (aiōn )
41 Onipa Ba no bɛsoma nʼabɔfoɔ, na wɔabɛboaboa wɔn a wɔpɛ bɔne, nsɛmmɔnedifoɔ nyinaa ano afiri Ahennie no mu,
Will send forth the Son of Man the angels of Him, and they will gather out of the kingdom of Him all the causes of sin and those practicing lawlessness
42 na wɔato wɔn agu ogyatannaa no mu, ahye wɔn. Ɛhɔ na esu ne agyaadwoɔ wɔ.
and they will cast them into the furnace of the fire; there will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
43 Na ateneneefoɔ no bɛhyerɛn sɛ owia wɔ wɔn Agya Ahennie no mu. Deɛ ɔwɔ aso no, ma ɔntie!”
Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of the Father of them. The [one] having ears (to hear *ko*) he should hear.
44 Yesu toaa abɛbuo no so sɛ, “Ɔsoro Ahennie no te sɛ ademudeɛ bi a obi kɔhunuu wɔ afuo bi mu. Ɔkataa so, na ɔde ahopere kɔtɔn nʼahodeɛ nyinaa, de kɔtɔɔ afuo no.
(again *k*) Like is the kingdom of the heavens to treasure hidden in the field, which having found a man hid. and for the joy of it goes and he sells all as much as he has and buys the field that.
45 “Bio, Ɔsoro Ahennie te sɛ obi a ɔdi ahwene pa ho edwa a ɔrepɛ ahwene pa atɔ.
Again like is the kingdom of the heavens to a man a merchant seeking fine pearls.
46 Ɔkɔnyaa bi a ɛyɛ fɛ mmoroso, enti ɔkɔtɔn nʼahodeɛ nyinaa de kɔtɔeɛ!”
(who *k*) having found (now *no*) one very precious pearl, having gone away he has sold all things as much as he was having and he bought it.
47 Yesu toaa so bio sɛ, “Ɔsoro Ahennie no te sɛ obi a ɔkɔguu asau wɔ asuo bi mu yii nsuomnam ahodoɔ bebree.
Again like is the kingdom of the heavens to a dragnet having been cast into the sea and of every kind having gathered together,
48 Asau no yɛɛ ma no, ɔtwe baa konkɔn so. Afei, ɔtenaa ase yiyii nam pa no guu kɛntɛn mu ɛnna ɔtoo deɛ ɛnyɛ no guiɛ.
which when it was filled having drawn up on the shore and having sat down they collected the good into (vessels, *N(k)O*) the and bad out they cast.
49 Saa ara na ewiase awieeɛ bɛyɛ. Abɔfoɔ no bɛba abɛpa abɔnefoɔ no afiri ateneneefoɔ no mu, (aiōn )
Thus will it be in the consummation of the age; will go out the angels and will separate the evil from [the] midst of the righteous (aiōn )
50 na wɔato abɔnefoɔ no agu ogyatannaa no mu; ɛhɔ na esu ne agyaadwoɔ wɔ.
and will cast them into the furnace of the fire; There will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.
51 “Mote aseɛ?” Nʼasuafoɔ no buaa no sɛ, “Aane.”
(says to them Jesus *k*) Did you understand these things all? They say to Him; Yes (Lord. *k*)
52 Yesu toaa ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no so sɛ, “Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ a wɔabɛyɛ mʼasuafoɔ no te sɛ efiewura a wada nʼagyapadeɛ foforɔ ne dada nyinaa adi.”
He then said to them; Because of this every scribe having been discipled (into *k*) ([in] the kingdom *N(k)O*) of the heavens like is to a man a master of a house who puts forth out of the treasure of him [things] new and old.
53 Yesu wiee nʼabɛbuo no, ɔfiri baabi a ɔwɔ hɔ.
And it came to pass when finished Jesus parables these, He withdrew from there;
54 Ɔkɔɔ ne kurom Nasaret. Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ hyiadan mu maa wɔn a wɔtiee no no ho dwirii wɔn. Wɔbisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Ɛhe na saa ɔbarima yi kɔnyaa nyansa a ɔde yɛ anwanwadeɛ sɛɛ yi?
And having come into the region of Him He was teaching them in the synagogue of them so that to be astonished they and to say: From where [came] to this [man] wisdom this and the miraculous powers?
55 Ɛnyɛ dua dwumfoɔ no ba no ni? Ɛnyɛ ne maame ne Maria? Ɛnyɛ ne nua mmarimanom ne Yakobo ne Yosef ne Simon ne Yuda?
Surely this is the of the carpenter Son? (Surely *N(k)O*) the mother of Him is named Mary? And the brothers of Him James and (Joseph *N(k)O*) and Simon and Judas?
56 Ɛnyɛ yɛne ne nuammaanom na ɛte ha? Na afei ɛhe na ɔkɔnyaa yeinom nyinaa yi?”
And the sisters of Him surely all with us are? From where then to this [man] these things all?
57 Wɔn bo fuu no. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Odiyifoɔ wɔ animuonyam baabiara, agye ne ɔman mu anaa ne nkurɔfoɔ mu.”
And they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them; Not is a prophet without Honor only except in the hometown (of him *k*) and in the household of him.
58 Esiane sɛ wɔannye no annie no enti, wanyɛ anwanwadeɛ bebree wɔ hɔ.
And not He did there miracles many because of the unbelief of them.
