Mark 10
1 He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.
Afei Yesu fii Galilea twa baa Yudea fam nohɔ wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan agya. Nnipakuw baa ne nkyɛn, na sɛnea ɔtaa yɛ no ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn.
2 Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”
Farisifo bi baa ne nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Wopene awaregyae so ana?” Wobisaa no eyi de sɔɔ no hwɛe.
3 He answered, “What did Moses command you?”
Yesu nso bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na Mose ka faa awaregyae ho?”
4 They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her.”
Wobuae se, “Mose kaa se eye sɛ wogyae aware. Nʼasɛm a ɔkae ne sɛ, sɛ ɔbarima bi pɛ sɛ ogyaa ne yere aware a ɔnkyerɛw awaregyae krataa mfa mma ne yere no.”
5 But Jesus said to them, “For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na ɔkaa saa? Merebɛkyerɛ mo nea enti a ɔkaa saa. Esiane mo koma a apirim no nti na ɔkaa saa kyerɛɛ mo.
6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.
Nanso eyi mfi Onyankopɔn. Efi adebɔ mfiase na Onyankopɔn bɔɔ ɔbarima ne ɔbea kaa wɔn bɔɔ mu.
7 For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,
Eyi nti na ɔbarima begyaw nʼagya ne ne na,
8 and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
na ɔde ne ho akɔbɔ ne yere ho, na wɔn baanu no ayɛ ɔhonam koro.
9 What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”
Na nea Onyankopɔn aka abɔ mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ onipa tetew mu.”
10 In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.
Akyiri a na ɔne nʼasuafo no wɔ fie no, asuafo no bisaa no saa asɛm koro no ara bio.
11 He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.
Obuaa wɔn se, “Sɛ obi gyaa ne yere aware na ɔsan ware obi foforo a na wabɔ aguaman.
12 If a woman herself divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
Na sɛ ɔyere gyaa ne kunu aware na ɔsan ware a, na ɔno nso abɔ aguaman saa ara.”
13 They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.
Na awofo bi de mmofra nkumaa brɛɛ Yesu se onhyira wɔn, nanso nʼasuafo no pampam wɔn a wɔde mmofra no bae no, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, wɔnnhaw no.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
Yesu huu nea nʼasuafo no ayɛ no, anyɛ no dɛ na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momma mmofra no kwan na wɔmmra me nkyɛn, na munnsiw wɔn kwan, na eyinom sɛɛ na Onyankopɔn ahenni no yɛ wɔn dea.
15 Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
Mereka akyerɛ mo se, obiara a ɔrennye Onyankopɔn ahenni no sɛ abofra no, ɔrentumi nhyɛn mu.”
16 He took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
Na ɔyɛɛ wɔn atuu, de ne nsa guu wɔn so hyiraa wɔn.
17 As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Na osii mu sɛ ɔrekɔ baabi foforo no, ɔbarima bi tutuu mmirika baa ne nkyɛn bebuu no nkotodwe bisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo pa, dɛn na menyɛ na manya nkwa a enni awiei?” (aiōnios g166)
18 Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.
Yesu bisaa no se “Adɛn na wofrɛ me papa? Obiara nyɛ papa gye ɔbaako; ɔne Onyankopɔn.
19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and mother.’”
Ɛfa wʼasɛmmisa no ho nso, wunim mmaransɛm no: ‘Mmɔ aguaman! Nni awu! Mmɔ korɔn! Nni adansekurum! Di wʼagya ne wo na ni!’”
20 He said to him, “Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.”
Aberante no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, eyinom nyinaa mifi me mmofraase na midii so.”
21 Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.”
Yesu hwɛɛ aberante yi dinn, nyaa ɔdɔ bi maa no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Aka wo ade baako. Kɔ na kɔtɔn biribiara a wowɔ, na fa sika no ma ahiafo, na wubenya agyapade wɔ ɔsoro, na bra bedi mʼakyi.”
22 But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.
Aberante no tee saa asɛm no nʼanim sesae, na ɔde awerɛhow kɔe, efisɛ na ɔwɔ ahonyade bebree.
23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!”
Ɔrekɔ no, Yesu hwɛɛ no na ɔdan ne ho ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Ɛyɛ den ma ɔdefo sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu!”
24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
Asɛm a Yesu kaa no maa asuafo no ho dwiriw wɔn. Yesu san kaa bio se, “Me mma, sɛ moahu den a ɛyɛ ma wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonyade sɛ wɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu?
25 It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
Na ɛyɛ mmerɛw sɛ yoma bɛfa pane aniwa mu sen sɛ ɔdefo bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu.”
26 They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?”
Asuafo no ho dwiriw wɔn mmoroso na wobisaa no se, “Ɛno de, na hena na wobegye no nkwa?”
27 Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”
Yesu hwɛɛ wɔn dinn kae se, “Onipa fam de, ɛyɛ den, na Onyankopɔn fam de, biribiara betumi aba mu.”
28 Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all and have followed you.”
Afei Petro fii ase kenkan nneɛma a ɔne asuafo no agyaw abedi Yesu akyi. Ɔkae se, “Yagyaw biribiara abedi wʼakyi.”
29 Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,
Yesu nso buaa no se, “Merema mo ate ase sɛ, obi nni hɔ a me nti wagyaw ofi, nuabarimanom, nuabeanom, ɛna, agya ne mma anaasɛ agyapade a ɔbɛkɔ akɔka Asɛmpa no,
31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
Na adikanfo pii bedi akyi, na akyikafo abedi kan.”
32 They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.
Afei wosii mu sɛ wɔrekɔ Yerusalem a na Yesu di wɔn kan; na bere a asuafo no di nʼakyi no, ehu ne osuro kaa wɔn. Yesu twee wɔn gyinaa nkyɛn, na ɔsan kaa nneɛma a sɛ wodu Yerusalem a ɛbɛba ne so no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
33 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Sɛ yedu hɔ a wobeyi me, Onipa Ba no ama asɔfo mpanyin ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo, na wɔabu me kumfɔ, na wɔde me ahyɛ Roma aban nsa, na wɔakum me.
34 They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.”
Wobedi me ho fɛw, na wɔatete ntasu agu me so, na wɔde mpire atwa me mmaa, na wɔakum me, na nnansa so no, masɔre bio.”
35 James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”
Afei Sebedeo mma Yakobo ne Yohane baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yɛpɛ sɛ woyɛ yɛn adɔe bi.”
36 He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na mopɛ sɛ meyɛ ma mo?”
37 They said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left hand, in your glory.”
Wobuae se, “Ma yɛn mu baako ntena wo nifa so, na ɔbaako nso ntena wo benkum so wɔ wʼahenni mu hɔ!”
38 But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
Yesu maa wɔn mmuae se, “Munnim nea mubisa no! Mubetumi anom awerɛhow kuruwa nwenweenwen a ɛsɛ sɛ menom ano no ana? Anaasɛ mubetumi ama wɔde amanehunu asubɔ no abɔ mo asu?”
39 They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;
Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yebetumi!” Na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mubetumi anom me kuruwa ano, na wɔde asubɔ a wɔde bɔ me no abɔ mo;
40 but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.”
nanso minni tumi sɛ miyi wɔn a wɔbɛtena me nifa anaa me benkum so no. Onyankopɔn nko ara na ɔde saa afa no bɛma wɔn a wɔasiesie hɔ ama wɔn no.”
41 When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant toward James and John.
Asuafo a wɔaka no tee nea Yakobo ne Yohane kobisaa no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ.
42 Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Enti Yesu frɛɛ wɔn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munim sɛ ahene ne atumfo a wɔwɔ wiase no di wɔn a wɔhyɛ wɔn ase no so,
43 But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.
nanso mo de, ɛnte saa wɔ mo ho. Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkɛse wɔ mo mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ mo somfo.
44 Whoever of you wants to become first among you shall be bondservant of all.
Na obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ne nuanom so panyin no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ wɔn nyinaa akoa.
45 For the Son of Man also came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Onipa Ba no amma sɛ wɔnsom no, na mmom ɔbɛsomee, na ɔde ne kra too hɔ sɛ mpata maa nnipa nyinaa.”
46 They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no beduu Yeriko. Wɔrefi kurow no mu no, nnipakuw tu dii wɔn akyi. Saa bere a Yesu retwa mu no, na onifuraefo Bartimeo a ne din nkyerɛase ne “Timoteo ba” no te kwankyɛn resrɛsrɛ ade.
47 When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Bere a Bartimeo tee sɛ Yesu Nasareni na ɔretwam no, ofii ase teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Dawid Ba Yesu, hu me mmɔbɔ!”
48 Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
Nnipa no bi teɛteɛɛ no se, “Mua wʼano!” Nanso ɔkɔɔ so teɛteɛɛ mu dennen se, “Dawid ba, hu me mmɔbɔ!”
49 Jesus stood still and said, “Call him.” They called the blind man, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!”
Bere a Yesu tee ne nne no, ogyina kae se, “Momfrɛ no mma me.” Wɔfrɛɛ onifuraefo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ma wo bo ntɔ wo yam, sɔre na ɔrefrɛ wo!”
50 He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
Bartimeo tow ne ntama gui, sɔre baa Yesu nkyɛn.
51 Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, that I may see again.”
Yesu bisaa no se, “Dɛn na wopɛ sɛ meyɛ ma wo?” Onifuraefo no buae se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, mepɛ sɛ mihu ade!”
52 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the way.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ, na wo gyidi agye wo.” Na ntɛm ara onifuraefo no huu ade, na odii Yesu akyi.
