Luke 7
1 After he had finished speaking in the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Yesu kasa kyerɛɛ nkurɔfo no wiee no, ɔkɔɔ Kapernaum.
2 A certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and at the point of death.
Saa bere no ara mu na Roma ɔsraani panyin bi somfo a ɔpɛ nʼasɛm yiye yare denneennen a ɔreyɛ awu.
3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his servant.
Ɔsraani panyin no tee Yesu nka no, ɔsomaa Yudafo mpanyimfo bi se wɔnkɔsrɛ no na ɔmmɛsa ne somfo no yare mma no.
4 When they came to Jesus, they begged him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for you to do this for him,
Woduu Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔde asɛm no too nʼanim srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔmmoa ɔsraani panyin no, efisɛ ɔyɛ onipa pa.
5 for he loves our nation, and he built our synagogue for us.”
Wɔkae se, “Ɔyɛ obi a ɔdɔ yɛn man na wasi hyiadan ama yɛn.”
6 Jesus went with them. When he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof.
Yesu ne wɔn sii mu. Wɔreyɛ adu fie hɔ no, ɔsraani panyin no somaa ne nnamfo bi sɛ, wɔnkɔka nkyerɛ Yesu se, “Awurade, nhaw wo ho, na mensɛ sɛ woba me fi.
7 Therefore I didn’t even think myself worthy to come to you; but say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Saa ara na memfata sɛ meba baabi a wowɔ. Kasa, na me somfo no ho bɛyɛ no den.
8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
Meyɛ obi a mehyɛ tumi ase, nanso mewɔ asraafo bebree hyɛ mʼase. Meka kyerɛ wɔn mu bi se, ‘Kɔ’ a, ɔkɔ. Meka kyerɛ ɔfoforo se, ‘Bra’ a, ɔba. Saa ara nso na mehyɛ me somfo sɛ, ‘Yɛ eyi’ a, ɔyɛ.”
9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turned and said to the multitude who followed him, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel.”
Yesu tee asɛm no, ne ho dwiriw no na ɔdan nʼani ka kyerɛɛ nnipakuw a wodi nʼakyi no se, “Anokwa, minhuu obiara a ɔwɔ gyidi sɛ saa ɔbarima yi wɔ Israelman nyinaa mu da.”
10 Those who were sent, returning to the house, found that the servant who had been sick was well.
Bere a abɔfo no san koduu fie hɔ no, wohuu sɛ ɔsomfo no ho ayɛ no den.
11 Soon afterwards, he went to a city called Nain. Many of his disciples, along with a great multitude, went with him.
Eyi akyi no, Yesu ne nʼasuafo ne nnipakuw bi a wɔka ne ho no kɔɔ kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Nain mu.
12 Now when he came near to the gate of the city, behold, one who was dead was carried out, the only born son of his mother, and she was a widow. Many people of the city were with her.
Woduu kurotia no, ohuu sɛ wɔrekosie obi. Na owufo no yɛ ɔbea kunafo bi a ɔwɔ kurow no mu no ba barima koro. Na adɔfo bebree di amu no akyi.
13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, “Don’t cry.”
Awurade Yesu huu no no, nʼasɛm yɛɛ no mmɔbɔ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Gyae su!”
14 He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”
Yesu kosoo funnaka no mu maa wɔn a ɛyɛ wɔn de no gyinae. Ɔka kyerɛɛ owufo no se. “Aberante, mise wo sɛ, nyan!”
15 He who was dead sat up and began to speak. Then he gave him to his mother.
Aberante no sɔre tenaa ase na ɔkasae. Afei Yesu de no maa ne na.
16 Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn yiye na woyii Onyankopɔn ayɛ kae se, “Odiyifo kɛse bi asɔre wɔ yɛn mu, na Onyankopɔn asian aba ne manfo mu.”
17 This report went out concerning him in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region.
Nea Yesu yɛɛ yi ho asɛm trɛw koduu Yudea ne nkurow a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa mu.
18 The disciples of John told him about all these things.
Yohane asuafo kɔbɔɔ no nea asi no nyinaa ho amanneɛ.
19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”
Yohane somaa nʼasuafo no mu baanu kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Wone nea ɔreba no, anaasɛ yɛntwɛn ɔfoforo?”
20 When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’”
Asuafo no duu Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Osuboni Yohane asoma yɛn wo nkyɛn se yemmebisa wo se, wone nea ɔreba no, anaasɛ yɛntwɛn ɔfoforo?”
21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.
Saa bere no ara mu, Yesu saa nyarewa bebree; otuu ahonhommɔne na ɔmaa anifuraefo huu ade.
22 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Yesu buaa wɔn se. “Monkɔka nea moahu na moate yi nkyerɛ Yohane se, mema anifuraefo hu ade, mmubuafo nantew, mesa akwatafo yare, asotifo te asɛm, awufo nyan, meka asɛmpa kyerɛ honhom mu ahiafo.
23 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
Nhyira ne wɔn a merento wɔn hintidua.”
24 When John’s messengers had departed, he began to tell the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Yohane asuafo no fii Yesu nkyɛn kɔe no, Yesu dii Yohane ho adanse kyerɛɛ nnipakuw no. Obisaa wɔn se, “Mokɔɔ sare so no, dɛn na muhui? Sare a mframa rehim no ana?
25 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts.
Ɛno de, dɛn na muhui? Obi a ofura sirikyi ana? Ahemfi na yehu wɔn a wodi yiye na wofura ntama pa.
26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Anaa Onyankopɔn diyifo? Ɛno de, mereka akyerɛ mo se, nea muhuu no no sen odiyifo mpo.
27 This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
Na saa Yohane yi na Kyerɛwsɛm no ka fa ne ho se, “‘Mɛsoma me bɔfo adi wʼanim kan. Ɔno na obesiesie kwan ama wo.’
28 “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.”
Meka kyerɛ mo se onipa biara nni hɔ a wɔawo no a ɔyɛ kɛse sen Yohane. Nanso nea ɔyɛ akumaa koraa wɔ Onyankopɔn ahemman mu no sen no.”
29 When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
Na wɔn a wɔtee nea ɔkae no nyinaa a towgyefo mpo ka ho bi gye too mu se, Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔtreneeni; na wɔsakraa wɔn adwene maa Yohane bɔɔ wɔn asu.
30 But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
Na Farisifo ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no de, wɔpoo Onyankopɔn asɛm nti, wɔamma Yohane ammɔ wɔn asu.
31 “To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na menka mfa nnɛmma yi ho; na dɛn ho na memfa wɔn ntoto?
32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
Wɔte sɛ mmofra bi a wɔregoru wɔ agodibea na wɔn mu bi reka akyerɛ afoforo se, “‘Yɛhyɛn mmɛn maa mo, nanso moansaw; yetwaa agyaadwo, nanso moansu.’
33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
Osuboni Yohane aba a onnidi na ɔnnom nsa nso muse, ‘Ɔwɔ honhommɔne.’
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
Onipa Ba no nso aba a odidi na ɔnom a muse, ‘Monhwɛ odidifo ne ɔkɔwensani a ɔyɛ towgyefo ne “nnebɔneyɛfo” adamfo!’
35 Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
Nanso wɔn a wodi Onyankopɔn akyi nokware mu no de, wɔn bra di adanse sɛ, nʼakwan nyinaa ye.”
36 One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.
Farisini bi frɛɛ Yesu adidi ma ɔpenee so kɔe.
37 Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
Ɔte hɔ redidi no, ɔbea bi a obu bra bɔne wɔ kurow no mu tee ne nka no, ɔde aduhuam bi a ɛsom bo tumpan ma kɔɔ hɔ.
38 Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Ɔkotow Yesu nan ase sui, maa ne nusu no fɔw Yesu nan ase. Afei ɔde ne tinwi pepaa nisu no, soo ne nan de aduhuam no sraa ho.
39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, “This man, if he were a prophet, would have perceived who and what kind of woman this is who touches him, that she is a sinner.”
Farisini a ɔfrɛɛ Yesu adidi no huu nea ɔbea no yɛe no, ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim se, “Sɛ saa onipa yi yɛ odiyifo ampa ara a, anka obehu sɛ saa ɔbea yi bu ɔbra bɔne.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” He said, “Teacher, say on.”
Yesu huu Farisini no adwene ma ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Simon, mewɔ asɛm bi ka kyerɛ wo.” Simon nso ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, ka ɛ.”
41 “A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Osikani bi bɔɔ nnipa baanu bi bosea. Ɔmaa ɔbaako denare ahannum; na ɔbaako no nso ɔmaa no denare aduonum.
42 When they couldn’t pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?”
Wɔn mu biara antumi antua ne ka a ɔde no no nti, ɔde kyɛɛ wɔn. Wɔn mu hena na wugye di sɛ ɔbɛpɛ ɔdefo no asɛm yiye?”
43 Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”
Simon buae se, “Migye di sɛ nea ɔde ne ka kɛse kyɛɛ no no.” Yesu kae se, “Woabua no yiye.”
44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head.
Afei Yesu dan nʼani kyerɛɛ ɔbea no bisaa Simon se, “Woahu saa ɔbea yi? Mebaa wo fi, woamma me nsu anhohoro mʼanan ase; nanso saa ɔbea yi de ne nisu ahohoro mʼanan ase, asan de ne tinwi apepa.
45 You gave me no kiss, but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
Mebae yi, woanyɛ me atuu amfa amma me akwaaba; nanso efi bere a ɔbea yi bɛtoo me wɔ ha yi, onnyaee me nan mu so.
46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
Woamfa ngo amfɔw me tirim; nanso ɔbea yi de aduhuam a ɛsom bo asra mʼanan ase.
47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
Eyi nti mereka akyerɛ wo se, nea ɔbea yi ayɛ nti, wɔde ne bɔne a ɛdɔɔso no akyɛ no, efisɛ wayi ɔdɔ kɛse bi adi akyerɛ. Na nea wɔde ne bɔne a esua akyɛ no no, ne dɔ nso sua.”
48 He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
Afei Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no se, “Wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo.”
49 Those who sat at the table with him began to say to themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Wɔn a ɔne wɔn te adidii no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Hena ne saa onipa yi a otumi de bɔne kyɛ?”
50 He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ɔbea no se, “Wo gyidi agye wo nkwa. Fa asomdwoe kɔ.”
