Mateo 9
1 Yei akyi no, Yesu kɔtenaa kodoɔ bi mu kɔɔ Kapernaum, kuro a ɔte mu.
And he entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.
2 Ɔduruu hɔ no, ankyɛre biara na nnipa bi de obubuafoɔ bi brɛɛ no sɛ ɔnsa no yadeɛ. Na Yesu hunuu gyidie a wɔwɔ wɔ ne mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafoɔ no sɛ, “Ɔba, ma wʼani nnye, wɔde wo bɔne nyinaa akyɛ wo.”
And look, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son, cheer up. Your sins are forgiven."
3 Ɛhɔ ara na Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ a na wɔwɔ hɔ no bi teaam sɛ, “Ɔbarima yi ka abususɛm. Ɔkyerɛ sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn!”
And look, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man blasphemes."
4 Yesu hunuu deɛ ɛwɔ wɔn adwenem no, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na modwene bɔne ho saa?
But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 Me Onipa Ba no, mewɔ tumi wɔ asase yi so sɛ metumi de bɔne kyɛ. Deɛ ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ den, sɛ obi bɛka sɛ, ‘Mede wo bɔne akyɛ wo’ anaasɛ ɔbɛka sɛ, ‘Sɔre na nante?’”
For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven;' or to say, 'Get up, and walk?'
6 Nanso, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ na mobɛhunu sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ enti, ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafoɔ no sɛ, “Sɔre na bobɔ wo kɛtɛ, na kɔ efie ɛfiri sɛ, masa wo yadeɛ.”
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins..." (then he said to the paralytic), "Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house."
7 Amonom hɔ ara, obubuafoɔ no sɔre bobɔɔ ne kɛtɛ, siim kɔɔ ne fie!
And he arose and departed to his house.
8 Nnipadɔm no hunuu anwanwadeɛ yi no, wɔn ho dwirii wɔn yie. Wɔkamfoo Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔde tumi a ɛte saa ama onipa!
Now when the crowds saw it, they were afraid and glorified God who had given such authority to men.
9 Yesu firi deɛ ɔsaa obubuafoɔ no yadeɛ hɔ rekɔ no, ɔhunuu ɔbarima ɔtogyeni bi a ɔte atogyeeɛ. Wɔfrɛ saa ɔbarima no Mateo. Yesu hunuu no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Bɛdi mʼakyi.” Ɛhɔ ara, Mateo sɔre dii Yesu akyi.
And as Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him.
10 Ɛbaa sɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no kɔɔ Mateo fie kɔdidiiɛ. Wɔredidi no, ɔtogyefoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ bebree baa hɔ ne no ne nʼasuafoɔ no too nsa didiiɛ.
And it happened as he sat in the house, look, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Farisifoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɔne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ato nsa redidi no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ. Wɔbisaa nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na mo ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no de ne ho abɔ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ a wɔte sɛɛ yi?”
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
12 Yesu teeɛ no, ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Nnipa a wɔnyare no, ɔyaresafoɔ ho nhia wɔn, na nnipa a wɔyare no na ɔyaresafoɔ ho hia wɔn.”
When he heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
13 Ɔsane kaa bio sɛ, “Monkɔhwehwɛ yei ase wɔ Atwerɛ Kronkron no mu. Wɔatwerɛ sɛ, ‘Ɛnyɛ mo afɔdeɛ ne ayɛyɛdeɛ na mepɛ, na mmom, ahummɔborɔ.’ Mammɛfrɛ teneneefoɔ, na mmom, mebɛfrɛɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnsakra mmra Onyankopɔn nkyɛn.”
But you go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,' for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
14 Ɛda bi, Yohane Osubɔni asuafoɔ baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wʼasuafoɔ no nni mmuada, sɛdeɛ yɛne Farisifoɔ di mmuada no?”
Then John's disciples came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?"
15 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mogye di sɛ, sɛ ayeforɔkunu ne ne nnamfonom te hɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ne nnamfonom no werɛ ho, na wɔbua da anaa? Ɛberɛ bi bɛba a wɔbɛfa me afiri wɔn nkyɛn. Saa ɛberɛ no na wɔbɛdi mmuada.
And Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
16 “Hwan na ɔde ntoma foforɔ bɛtare ntoma dada mu? Saa ntaremu no bɛsuane dada no mu ama tokuro kɛseɛ abɛda hɔ.
And no one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
17 Hwan na ɔde nsã foforɔ bɛgu aboa nwoma nsã nkotokuo dada mu? Sɛ ɔyɛ saa a, nsã no bɛpae nkotokuo no ama nsã no ahwie agu, na nkotokuo no nso asɛe. Nsa nkotokuo foforɔ mu nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsã foforɔ gugu na amma nkotokuo no ne nsã no mu biara ansɛe.”
Neither do people put new wine into old wineskins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine pours out, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved."
18 Yesu gu so rekasa no, Yudafoɔ panin bi ba bɛkoto, sɔree no. Ɔde nʼadesrɛdeɛ too Yesu anim sɛ, “Me babaa awu seesei ara. Menim sɛ, sɛ woba de wo nsa bɛka no pɛ a, ɔbɛnyane.”
While he told these things to them, look, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."
19 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no ne ɔpanin no siim sɛ wɔrekɔ ɔpanin no fie.
And Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.
20 Wɔrekɔ no, ɔbaa bi a mogya atu no mfirinhyia dumienu firii Yesu akyi sɔɔ nʼatadeɛ ano.
And look, a woman who had an issue of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;
21 Ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim sɛ, “Sɛ mede me nsa ka no nko ara a, me ho bɛyɛ me den.”
for she said within herself, "If I just touch his garment, I will be made well."
22 Yesu danee nʼani ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔbabaa, ma wo bo ntɔ wo yam. Wo gyidie agye wo. Wo ho atɔ wo.” Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no mu, ne ho tɔɔ no.
But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, "Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour.
23 Yesu duruu ɔpanin no fie hɔ a ɔhunuu sɛ nkurɔfoɔ no bi resu na ebinom reto ayiase nnwom no,
And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd in noisy disorder,
24 ɔkaa sɛ, “Obiara mfiri adi. Ababaawa no nwuiɛ. Wada!” Yesu asɛm a ɔkaeɛ yi maa nnipa no seree no.
he said, "Go away, for the girl is not dead, but asleep." And they laughed at him.
25 Nnipa no nyinaa firii adi no, Yesu kɔɔ faako a ababaawa no da hɔ no. Ɔsɔɔ ne nsa. Prɛko pɛ, ababaawa no nyaneeɛ.
But when the crowd was put out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
26 Saa anwanwadeɛ a Yesu yɛeɛ yi trɛɛ wɔ mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa.
And the report of this went out into all that land.
27 Yesu firi deɛ ɔnyanee ababaawa no hɔ rekɔ no, anifirafoɔ baanu bi dii nʼakyi teateaam sɛ, “Dawid ba, hunu yɛn mmɔbɔ!”
And as Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, "Have mercy on us, son of David."
28 Yesu duruu efie no, anifirafoɔ no baa ne nkyɛn. Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mogye di sɛ mɛtumi ama moahunu adeɛ?” Wɔbuaa no sɛ, “Aane, Awurade, yɛgye di!”
And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They told him, "Yes, Lord."
29 Yesu de ne nsa kaa wɔn ani kaa sɛ, “Mo gyidie nyɛ deɛ mohwehwɛ mma mo!”
Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you."
30 Amonom hɔ ara na wɔn ani buebueeɛ. Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano sɛ, “Monnka saa ayaresa yi ho asɛm nkyerɛ obiara.”
And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, "See that no one knows about this."
31 Nanso, nnipa no firi hɔ pɛ, wɔbɔɔ asɛm no dawuro.
But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
32 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ refiri adi no, wɔde mumu bi a honhommɔne wɔ ne so brɛɛ no.
And as they went out, look, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
33 Yesu tuu honhommɔne no na prɛko pɛ, mumu no kasaeɛ. Saa honhommɔne tuo yi yɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa nwanwa ma wɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛnhunuu saa anwanwadeɛ yi bi da wɔ Israelman mu ha!”
And when the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds were amazed, saying, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel."
34 Farisifoɔ no deɛ, wɔkaa sɛ, “Ɔbonsam de honhommɔne ahyɛ no ma enti na ɔtumi tu ahonhommɔne no.”
But the Pharisees said, "By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons."
35 Yesu kyinkyinii nkuro so ne nkuraa ase kaa Onyankopɔn Ahennie no ho asɛmpa wɔ wɔn hyiadan mu. Baabiara a ɔkɔeɛ no, ɔsaa nyarewa ahodoɔ bebree.
And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Good News of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.
36 Ɛberɛ a Yesu hunuu nnipadɔm no, ne yam hyehyee no maa wɔn ɛfiri sɛ, ɔhunuu sɛ ɔhaw ahodoɔ gu wɔn so a, wɔnhunu deɛ wɔnyɛ ne deɛ wɔmfa a wɔbɛnya mmoa nso. Wɔte sɛ nnwan a wɔnni ɔhwɛfoɔ.
But when he saw the crowds, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Ɛha na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Otwa adwuma no dɔɔso, na adwumayɛfoɔ no deɛ, wɔsua.
Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
38 Enti, monsrɛ adwumawura no na ɔmma adwumayɛfoɔ bebree mmra ne twa adwuma no mu.”
Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest."
