< Mateo 8 >
1 Ɛberɛ a Yesu sianee bepɔ no no, nnipadɔm bebree dii nʼakyi.
And when he came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him.
2 Ɔkwatani bi baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛkotoo no, srɛɛ no sɛ, “Me wura, mesrɛ wo, sɛ ɛyɛ wo pɛ a, sa me yadeɛ.”
And look, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."
3 Yesu tenee ne nsa de kaa ɔkwatani no kaa sɛ, “Mɛsa wo yadeɛ. Kwata, firi ne ho kɔ!” Amonom hɔ ara, kwata no firii ne ho.
And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo ne obiara nni wʼayaresa yi ho nkɔmmɔ. Kɔ na fa wo ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfoɔ, na bɔ afɔdeɛ a Mose hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmmɔ sɛ adansedie no.”
And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
5 Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum. Ɔduruu hɔ no, Roma asraafoɔ panin bi a ɛdɔm hyɛ nʼase baa ne kyɛn bɛbuu no nkotodwe kaa sɛ,
And when he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,
6 “Awurade, mʼabɔfra abubu gu hɔ a ɔrehunu amane; mesrɛ wo, bɛsa no yadeɛ ma me.”
and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented."
7 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mɛba abɛsa no yadeɛ.”
And he said to him, "I will come and heal him."
8 Asraafoɔ panin no tee Yesu asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Awurade, memfata sɛ woba me fie. Ka biribi na mʼabɔfra no ho bɛyɛ no den.
And the centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 Meyɛ ɔsraani a mehyɛ tumi ase, na mesane wɔ asraafoɔ a wɔhyɛ mʼase. Meka kyerɛ wɔn mu bi sɛ ɔnkɔ a, ɔkɔ. Meka kyerɛ ɔfoforɔ sɛ ɔmmra a, ɔba. Saa ara nso na sɛ meka kyerɛ mʼabɔfra sɛ ɔnyɛ biribi a, ɔyɛ ara no no.”
For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and tell my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
10 Yesu tee saa asɛm yi no, ɛyɛɛ no nwanwa. Ɔdanee nʼani, ka kyerɛɛ nnipadɔm a wɔdi nʼakyi no sɛ, “Israelman mu nyinaa, menhunuu gyidie a ɛte sei da.
And when Jesus heard it, he was amazed, and said to those who followed, "Truly I tell you, I have not found so great a faith with anyone in Israel.
11 Na mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, nnipa pii bɛfiri apueeɛ ne atɔeɛ aba, na wɔne Abraham, Isak ne Yakob ato nsa adidi wɔ ɔsoro ahennie no mu.
And I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,
12 Na Israelfoɔ a wɔsiesiee ɔsoro ahennie maa wɔn no mu pii wɔ hɔ a wɔbɛto wɔn agu esum kabii mu, na wɔde wɔn nsa bɛgu wɔn tiri atwa agyaadwoɔ.”
but the children of the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and grinding of teeth."
13 Yesu ka kyerɛ asraafoɔ panin no sɛ, “Kɔ efie. Deɛ wogye die no aba mu ama wo!” Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, abɔfra no ho tɔɔ no!
And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed in that hour.
14 Yesu kɔɔ Petro fie. Ɔkɔtoo sɛ huraeɛ akyere Petro ase baa ma ɔda hɔ.
And when Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.
15 Yesu sɔɔ ne nsa na amonom, huraeɛ no tu firii ne so. Ɔsɔre noaa aduane maa wɔn.
So he touched her hand, and the fever left her. She got up and served him.
16 Saa ɛda no anwummerɛ no, wɔde wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonhommɔne pii brɛɛ Yesu. Nʼanom asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no maa ahonhommɔne no nyinaa tu yeraeɛ, na wɔn a wɔyare no nyinaa nso ho tɔɔ wɔn.
And when evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick;
17 Yei maa deɛ Odiyifoɔ Yesaia kaa sɛ, “Ɔfaa yɛn ahoɔmmerɛ, na ɔsoaa yɛn nyarewa nyinaa” no baa mu.
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases."
18 Yesu hunuu sɛ ɛdɔm no redɔɔso no, ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, wɔntwa nkɔ asuogya nohoa.
Now when Jesus saw large crowds around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
19 Ɛhɔ ara Yudani ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ bi ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, baabiara a wobɛkɔ no, mɛdi wʼakyiri!”
Then a scribe came, and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."
20 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Sakraman wɔ abɔn, ewiem nnomaa nso wɔ mpirebuo, nanso me, Onipa Ba no deɛ, menni baabi a mede me tiri to!”
And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."
21 Asuafoɔ no mu baako bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, ma me kwan na menkɔsie mʼagya ansa na mʼabɛdi wʼakyi.”
And another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
22 Nanso, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Di mʼakyi. Wɔn a wɔawu no nsie wɔn awufoɔ”.
But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."
23 Yesu saa nyarewa no wieeɛ no, ɔkɔtenaa kodoɔ mu na nʼasuafoɔ no dii nʼakyi.
And when he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 Prɛko pɛ, ahum kɛseɛ bi tuiɛ maa asorɔkye bu bɛkataa kodoɔ no so. Nanso, na Yesu deɛ, wada.
And look, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.
25 Nʼasuafoɔ no de nteateamu kɔɔ ne nkyɛn, kɔnyanee no kaa sɛ, “Awurade! Gye yɛn na yɛreyɛ amem!”
They came to him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord. We are dying."
26 Yesu nyaneeɛ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo a mo gyidie sua, adɛn na moabɔ hu saa?” Ɛhɔ ara, ɔsɔre teateaa ahum ne asorɔkye no ma ɛyɛɛ dinn.
And he said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 Asuafoɔ no ho dwirii wɔn yie. Wɔbisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Onipa bɛn mpo ni a ahum ne ɛpo tie no yi?”
And the men were amazed, saying, "What kind of person is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
28 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no duruu asuogya wɔ Gadarafoɔ asase so no, nnipa baanu bi a ahonhommɔne wɔ wɔn so firi amusieeɛ bɛhyiaa no. Esiane sɛ na saa nnipa yi yɛ keka enti, na obiara ntumi mfa faako a wɔwɔ hɔ.
And when he came to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.
29 Wɔhunuu no pɛ, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ teateaam sɛ, “Onyankopɔn Ba, ɛdeɛn na worehwehwɛ afiri yɛn nkyɛn? Woaba ha sɛ worebɛyɛ yɛn ayayadeɛ ɛberɛ a mmerɛ no nsoeɛ anaa?”
And look, they shouted, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"
30 Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu na mprakokuo bi redidi wɔ nkyɛn baabi.
Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
31 Ahonhommɔne no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Sɛ wotu yɛn a, fa yɛn kɔhyɛ mprakokuo yi mu.”
And the demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs."
32 Yesu tiaa wɔn sɛ, “Momfiri!” Ɛhɔ ara ahonhommɔne no firii nnipa no mu, kɔwuraa mprako no mu. Mprakokuo no nyinaa de mmirika sianee bepɔ no, kɔguu ɛpo no mu ma ɛfaa wɔn.
And he said to them, "Go." And they came out, and went into the pigs, and look, the whole herd rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water.
33 Ntɛm ara, wɔn a wɔhwɛ mprako no so no tuu mmirika kɔɔ kurom, kɔkaa deɛ asie no kyerɛɛ nkurɔfoɔ.
And those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.
34 Kurom hɔfoɔ no tee deɛ aba no, wɔbɔɔ twi, kɔɔ deɛ Yesu wɔ hɔ no. Wɔhunuu Yesu no, wɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔmfiri wɔn ɔman mu hɔ nkɔ.
And look, all the city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.
