Mateo 9
1 Yei akyi no, Yesu kɔtenaa kodoɔ bi mu kɔɔ Kapernaum, kuro a ɔte mu.
And, entering into a boat, he 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 lo! they were bringing unto him a paralytic, on a couch, laid prostrate; and Jesus, seeing, their faith, said to the paralytic, —Take courage! child, forgiven are thy sins.
3 Ɛhɔ ara na Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ a na wɔwɔ hɔ no bi teaam sɛ, “Ɔbarima yi ka abususɛm. Ɔkyerɛ sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn!”
And lo! certain of the scribes, said within themselves, —This man, speaketh profanely!
4 Yesu hunuu deɛ ɛwɔ wɔn adwenem no, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na modwene bɔne ho saa?
And Jesus, knowing, their inward thoughts, said, —To what end are ye cherishing evil thoughts within 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, Forgiven are thy sins, —or to say, Rise and be walking!
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 ye may know, that the Son of Man hath, authority, upon the earth, to be forgiving sins, then, saith he to the paralytic, —Rise! take up thy couch, and withdraw unto thy house.
7 Amonom hɔ ara, obubuafoɔ no sɔre bobɔɔ ne kɛtɛ, siim kɔɔ ne fie!
And, rising, he departed unto 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 the multitudes, seeing, were struck with fear, and glorified the God who had given authority, such as this, unto 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 Jesus, passing aside from thence, saw a man presiding over the tax-office, called, Matthew, and saith unto him, —Be following me. And, arising, he 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 came to pass, as he was reclining in the house, that lo! many tax-collectors and sinners, came, and were reclining together 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, the Pharisees, observing it, began to say unto his disciples, —Wherefore, with tax-collectors and sinners, doth your Teacher eat?
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.”
And, he, hearing it, said, —No need have the strong, of a physician, but they who are sick.
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 go ye, and learn what this meaneth, —Mercy, I desire, 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 come near unto him the disciples of John, saying, —Wherefore do, we, and the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not?
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 unto them, —Can, the sons of the bridechamber, mourn, so long as, the bridegroom, is, with them? But days will come, when the bridegroom, shall be taken from them, and, then, will they fast.
16 “Hwan na ɔde ntoma foforɔ bɛtare ntoma dada mu? Saa ntaremu no bɛsuane dada no mu ama tokuro kɛseɛ abɛda hɔ.
Howbeit, no one, layeth on a patch of unshrunk cloth, upon an old garment, —for the shrinking of it teareth away from the garment, and, a worse rent, 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 pour they new wine into old skins: otherwise at least, the skins are burst, and, the wine, runneth out, and, the skins, are spoiled, —but they pour new wine into unused skins, and, both, are together 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, these things, he was speaking unto them, lo! a [certain] ruler, came, and began bowing down to him, saying, —My daughter, just now died! But come, and lay thy hand upon, her, and she shall live.
19 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no ne ɔpanin no siim sɛ wɔrekɔ ɔpanin no fie.
And Jesus, arising, was following him, also his disciples.
20 Wɔrekɔ no, ɔbaa bi a mogya atu no mfirinhyia dumienu firii Yesu akyi sɔɔ nʼatadeɛ ano.
And lo! a woman, having a flow of blood twelve years, coming near behind, touched the fringe of his mantle.
21 Ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim sɛ, “Sɛ mede me nsa ka no nko ara a, me ho bɛyɛ me den.”
For she kept saying within herself, —If only I touch his mantle, I shall 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.
And, Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, —Take courage! daughter, Thy faith, hath made thee 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, Jesus, coming, into the house of the ruler, and seeing the flute-players and the multitude in confusion, was saying:
24 ɔkaa sɛ, “Obiara mfiri adi. Ababaawa no nwuiɛ. Wada!” Yesu asɛm a ɔkaeɛ yi maa nnipa no seree no.
Give place! for the maiden died not, but is sleeping. And they began to deride 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 multitude had been put forth, he went in, and grasped her hand, —and the maiden arose.
26 Saa anwanwadeɛ a Yesu yɛeɛ yi trɛɛ wɔ mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa.
And forth went this report, into the whole of 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, was passing aside from thence, there followed him, two blind men, crying aloud and saying, —Have mercy on us, O 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 entered the house, the blind men came unto him, —and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye, that I can, do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord!
29 Yesu de ne nsa kaa wɔn ani kaa sɛ, “Mo gyidie nyɛ deɛ mohwehwɛ mma mo!”
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto 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, sternly charged them, saying, Mind! let no one know!
31 Nanso, nnipa no firi hɔ pɛ, wɔbɔɔ asɛm no dawuro.
They, however, going forth, made him known throughout the whole of that land.
32 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ refiri adi no, wɔde mumu bi a honhommɔne wɔ ne so brɛɛ no.
And, as, they, were going forth, lo! there was brought to him, a dumb man, demonized.
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, the demon being cast out, the dumb man spoke; and the multitudes marvelled, saying, —Never, was it seen thus, in Israel.
34 Farisifoɔ no deɛ, wɔkaa sɛ, “Ɔbonsam de honhommɔne ahyɛ no ma enti na ɔtumi tu ahonhommɔne no.”
[But, the Pharisees, beg to say, In the ruler of the demons, is he casting out the 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 was going round all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the glad-message of the kingdom, —and curing every disease, and every infirmity.
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, seeing the multitudes, he was moved with compassion concerning them, because they were torn and thrown down, like sheep hating no shepherd.
37 Ɛha na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Otwa adwuma no dɔɔso, na adwumayɛfoɔ no deɛ, wɔsua.
Then, saith he unto his disciples, The harvest, indeed, is great, but, the labourers, few;
38 Enti, monsrɛ adwumawura no na ɔmma adwumayɛfoɔ bebree mmra ne twa adwuma no mu.”
Beg ye, therefore, of the Lord of the harvest, —That he would thrust forth labourers, into his harvest.
