Mark 14
1 It was now two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception and kill him.
Aka nnaanu na Twam ne Apiti Afahyɛ a ɛyɛ Yudafo ahomegye nna no adu no, asɔfo mpanyin ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no hwehwɛɛ nyansa kwan a wɔbɛfa so akyere Yesu, akum no.
2 For they said, “Not during the feast, because there might be a riot among the people.”
Nanso wɔkae se, “Yɛrenkyere no afahyɛ no mu, anyɛ saa a ɛde basabasayɛ bɛba ɔman no mu.”
3 While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly. She broke the jar and poured it over his head.
Yesu wɔ Betania na ɔne Simon kwatani redidi no, ɔbea bi a okura ngo huamhuam bi a ne bo yɛ den baa hɔ. Otuu ano, hwie guu Yesu tirim.
4 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying, “Why has this ointment been wasted?
Nea ɔbea yi yɛe no anyɛ nnipa a wɔte adidii no mu bi dɛ. Na wɔkae se wasɛe ngo no kwa.
5 For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” So they grumbled against her.
Wɔkaa bio nso se, “Anka wobetumi atɔn ngo huamhuam yi anya sika pii na wɔde ama ahiafo.”
6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for me.
Nanso Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munnyaa no! Adɛn nti na morehaw no wɔ ade pa a ɔyɛe no ho?
7 For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want to, you can do them good; but you will not always have me.
Mo ne ahiafo a mubetumi aboa wɔn bere biara mu na ɛte. Na me de, merenkyɛ wɔ mo nkyɛn.
8 She has done what she could. She has anointed my body beforehand for the burying.
Wayɛ nea obetumi. Wadi kan asra me nipadua ama da a wobesie me.
9 Most certainly I tell you, wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world, that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.”
Mereka akyerɛ mo se, baabiara a wɔbɛka asɛmpa no wɔ wiase no, wɔde nea ɔbea yi yɛe no bɛkae no akamfo no.”
10 Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.
Afei Yuda Iskariot, asuafo dumien no mu baako, kɔɔ asɔfo mpanyin no nkyɛn ne wɔn kɔhyehyɛɛ sɛnea obeyi Yesu ama wɔn no ho.
11 They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.
Asɔfo mpanyin no tee asɛm no, ɛyɛɛ wɔn anigye ma wɔhyɛɛ no bɔ. Efi saa bere no, ɔhwehwɛɛ sɛnea obenya Yesu ho kwan, ayi no ama bere a ɛsɛ mu.
12 On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare that you may eat the Passover?”
Apiti Afahyɛ no da a edi kan a wokum Twam Afahyɛ guan no, nʼasuafo bisaa no faako a wɔbɛkɔ akodi Twam Afahyɛ no.
13 He sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and there a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him,
Ɔsomaa nʼasuafo no mu baanu kɔɔ Yerusalem se wonkosiesie baabi mma no. Nea ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn ne sɛ, “Morekɔ kurow no mu a, mubehyia onipa bi a ɔso ahina. Munni nʼakyi.
14 and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’
Baabiara a obewura no, monka nkyerɛ ofiwura no se, ‘Yɛn wura asoma yɛn se, yɛmmɛhwɛ dan a wɔasiesie ama yɛn a yebedi Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ mu no.’
15 He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Get ready for us there.”
Ɔbɛkyerɛ mo abansoro asa kɛse bi a wɔasiesie mu. Ɛhɔ na monyɛ ahoboa mma yɛn.”
16 His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
Asuafo baanu no sii mu kɔɔ kurow no mu, na wohuu biribiara sɛnea Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no pɛpɛɛpɛ, na wosiesiee Twam no wɔ hɔ.
17 When it was evening he came with the twelve.
Eduu anwummere no, Yesu ne dumien no bae.
18 As they sat and were eating, Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, one of you will betray me—he who eats with me.”
Na wɔte hɔ redidi no, Yesu kae se, “Merema mo ate ase sɛ, mo a me ne mo reto nsa adidi yi mu baako beyi me ama.”
19 They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, “Surely not I?” And another said, “Surely not I?”
Wɔn nyinaa werɛ howee, na wofii ase bisaa mmaako mmaako se, “Ɛyɛ me ana?”
20 He answered them, “It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
Obuaa wɔn se, “Ɛyɛ mo dumien a mo ne me reto nsa adidi yi mu baako.
21 For the Son of Man goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
Onipa Ba no rekɔ sɛnea wɔakyerɛw afa ne ho de, nanso onipa a obeyi no ama no, nnue! Sɛ wɔanwo saa onipa no mpo a, anka eye!”
22 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had blessed it, he broke it and gave to them, and said, “Take, eat. This is my body.”
Bere a wɔredidi no, Yesu faa brodo, na ohyiraa so bubui, na ɔde maa wɔn kae se, “Munnye nni; eyi ne me nipadua.”
23 He took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them. They all drank of it.
Afei ɔfaa kuruwa a nsa wɔ mu, na ɔdaa ase no, ɔde maa wɔn, na wɔn nyinaa nom bi.
24 He said to them, “This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Eyi ne me mogya a ɛyɛ apam no mogya a ɛhyɛ Apam Foforo no mu den a bebree nti wɔrehwie agu.
25 Most certainly I tell you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in God’s Kingdom.”
Mereka akyerɛ mo se, merennom saa nsa yi bio da akosi da a me ne mo bɛnom bi bio wɔ Onyankopɔn Ahenni no mu.”
26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Wɔtoo dwom wiee no, wofii hɔ kɔɔ Ngo Bepɔw no so.
27 Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble because of me tonight, for it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
Woduu nea wɔrekɔ no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo nyinaa beguan agya me.” Efisɛ Onyankopɔn nam adiyifo no so kae se, “‘Mɛbɔ oguanhwɛfo no, na nguan no abɔ apete.’
28 However, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.”
Na sɛ miwu sɔre a, medi mo anim akɔ Galilea akohyia mo wɔ hɔ.”
29 But Peter said to him, “Although all will be offended, yet I will not.”
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ nnipa nyinaa beguan agya wo a, me de, merenguan nnya wo da!”
30 Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Petro, nokware, anadwo yi, ansa na akokɔ bɛbɔn mprenu no, na woapa me mprɛnsa.”
31 But he spoke all the more, “If I must die with you, I will not deny you.” They all said the same thing.
Petro de anibere kae se, “Merempa wo da! Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ me ne wo wu mpo a, merempa wo da!” Saa ara na wɔn a aka no nyinaa nso kae.
32 They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no duu faako a wɔfrɛ hɔ Getsemane no, ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Montena ha, na merekɔbɔ mpae aba.”
33 He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
Ɔfaa Petro, Yakobo ne Yohane kaa ne ho, na ne ho fii ase yeraw no, na ɔyɛɛ basaa.
34 He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Awerɛhow ahyɛ me kra ma. Montena ha, na mo ne me nwɛn.”
35 He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
Ɔkɔɔ nʼanim kakra, kobutuw fam, bɔɔ mpae se, sɛ ebetumi a, saa ahoyeraw no ntwa ne ho nkɔ.
36 He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire.”
Ɔkae se, “Abba, Agya! Wutumi yɛ biribiara. Ma kuruwa yi ntwa me ho nkɔ. Nanso nea wopɛ na ɛnyɛ hɔ, na ɛnyɛ nea mepɛ.”
37 He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour?
Ɔsan bae no, obehuu asuafo baasa no sɛ wɔadeda. Obisaa Petro se, “Simon, woada? Woantumi ne me anwɛn dɔnhwerew baako pɛ mpo?
38 Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Monwɛn na mommɔ mpae na ɔsɔhwɛfo no anni mo so. Honhom no pɛ de, nanso ɔhonam no yɛ mmerɛw.”
39 Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.
Ɔsan kɔɔ bio kɔbɔɔ mpae koro no ara.
40 Again he returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they didn’t know what to answer him.
Ɔsan baa wɔn nkyɛn bio behuu sɛ wɔadeda, efisɛ na wɔabrɛbrɛ. Na wonhu nea wɔnka nkyerɛ no.
41 He came the third time and said to them, “Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Ɔsan baa ne mprɛnsa so no, obisaa wɔn se. “Moda so adeda a morehome? Bere a ɛsɛ sɛ mode da no atwa mu. Wɔrebeyi me ahyɛ nnebɔneyɛfo nsa.
42 Arise! Let’s get going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”
Monsɔre na yɛnkɔ! Monhwɛ, nea ɔreyi me ama no na ɔreba no!”
43 Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
Ogu so rekasa no, Yuda a ɔyɛ nʼasuafo no mu baako ne dɔm a asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyin asoma wɔn ka ne ho a, wokurakura mfoa ne nkontimmaa baa hɔ.
44 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”
Na Yuda aka akyerɛ wɔn dedaw se, “Nea mefew nʼafono no; ɔno ne nea morehwehwɛ no no. Monkyere no, na munso ne mu yiye mfa no nkɔ.”
45 When he had come, immediately he came to him and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.
Yuda kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kɔkae se, “Me Wura.” Afei ofew nʼafono, yɛɛ no atuu.
46 They laid their hands on him and seized him.
Ɛhɔ ara, na dɔm a wɔne Yuda nam no soo Yesu mu kyeree no.
47 But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
Wɔn a wɔka Yesu ho no mu baako twee nʼafoa de twaa Ɔsɔfopanyin no akoa bi aso ma ɛtewee.
48 Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Meyɛ owudifo nti na mode afoa ne nkontimmaa aba me so rebɛkyere me ana?
49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”
Adɛn na bere a merekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan mu hɔ no, moankyere me? Nanso eyinom nyinaa aba sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nkɔm a wɔhyɛɛ wɔ me ho no bɛba mu.”
50 They all left him, and fled.
Asuafo no nyinaa guan gyaa no.
51 A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,
Aberante bi a ɔde nwera akata nʼadagyaw so dii nʼakyi.
52 but he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.
Dɔm a wɔbɛkyeree Yesu no pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere no, nanso ogyaw ne ntama no maa wɔn, de ne ho saa ara guanee.
53 They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes came together with him.
Wɔde Yesu kɔɔ Ɔsɔfopanyin no anim no, ankyɛ na asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyin bi behyiaa hɔ.
54 Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers, and warming himself in the light of the fire.
Bere a wɔde Yesu rekɔ no, Petro tew ne ho dii wɔn akyi, na owiawiaa ne ho kɔhyɛɛ Ɔsɔfopanyin no fi hɔ de ne ho kɔfraa asomfo bi a na wɔreto gya no mu.
55 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
Asɔfo mpanyin ne baguafo no nyinaa hwehwɛɛ sɛ wobenya asɛm bi atia Yesu, na wɔagyina so abu no kumfɔ. Nanso wɔannya bi.
56 For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony didn’t agree with each other.
Nnipa pii bedii adansekurum tiaa Yesu, nanso wɔn nsɛm a wɔkaa no bɔɔ abira.
57 Some stood up and gave false testimony against him, saying,
Afei nnipa no bi kekaa nsɛm a enni mu too ne so se,
58 “We heard him say, ‘I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another made without hands.’”
“Yɛtee sɛ ɔkae se, ‘Mebubu asɔredan a wɔde nsa na esii no, na mede nnansa asi foforo a wɔamfa nsa ansi!’”
59 Even so, their testimony didn’t agree.
Na eyi mpo, wɔn adanse no anhyia.
60 The high priest stood up in the middle, and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?”
Ɔsɔfopanyin no sɔre gyinaa bagua no mfimfini bisaa Yesu se, “Eyi nso, wunni ho anoyi biara? Dɛn na wowɔ ka?”
61 But he stayed quiet, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”
Yesu ammua no. Afei, Ɔsɔfopanyin no bisaa no bio se, “Wone Agyenkwa no, Onyankopɔn Ba no ana?”
62 Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”
Yesu buaa no se, “Mene no, na mubehu me sɛ mete Onyankopɔn nifa, na menam omununkum mu resan aba asase so.”
63 The high priest tore his clothes and said, “What further need have we of witnesses?
Eyi maa Ɔsɔfopanyin no sunsuan nʼatade mu kae se, “Nnansefo bɛn na wɔn ho hia yɛn bio?
64 You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?” They all condemned him to be worthy of death.
Mo nyinaa ate abususɛm a ɔkae no. Dɛn na mowɔ ka?” Wɔn nyinaa gye too mu se, ɔsɛ owu.
65 Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to beat him with fists, and to tell him, “Prophesy!” The officers struck him with the palms of their hands.
Na ebinom tee ntasu guu no so, na wɔkyekyeree nʼani, na wɔbobɔɔ no akuturuku bisaa no se “Wuse woyɛ odiyifo, kyerɛ yɛn onipa ko a ɔbɔɔ wo!” Na asomfo a wɔde no rekɔ no bobɔɔ no asotɔre.
66 As Peter was in the courtyard below, one of the maids of the high priest came,
Bere a na Petro te adiwo hɔ no, Ɔsɔfopanyin no mmaawa no mu baako baa hɔ;
67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked at him and said, “You were also with the Nazarene, Jesus!”
na ohuu Petro sɛ ɔreto gya no, ɔhwɛɛ no haa, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo nso wo ne Nasareni Yesu no na ɛnam!”
68 But he denied it, saying, “I neither know nor understand what you are saying.” He went out on the porch, and the rooster crowed.
Petro sanee se, “Minnim nea woreka yi ho hwee!” Na ɛhɔ ara na ofii adi kɔtenaa ɔkwan no ano baabi. Saa bere no na akokɔ bɔn nea edi kan.
69 The maid saw him and began again to tell those who stood by, “This is one of them.”
Abaawa no san huu no wɔ hɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn a ɔne wɔn nam no se, “Oyi nso ka wɔn ho. Ɔyɛ Yesu asuafo no mu baako!”
70 But he again denied it. After a little while again those who stood by said to Peter, “You truly are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”
Petro san bio. Ɛkyɛe kakra no, nnipa a wogyina ogya no ho no fii ase ka kyerɛɛ Petro se, “Woka wɔn ho, efisɛ woyɛ Galileani!”
71 But he began to curse and to swear, “I don’t know this man of whom you speak!”
Petro fii ase kekaa ntam, dii nsew se, “Minnim saa onipa a moreka ne ho asɛm yi.”
72 The rooster crowed the second time. Peter remembered the words that Jesus said to him, “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” When he thought about that, he wept.
Mpofirim, na akokɔ bɔn nea ɛto so abien. Na Petro kaee Yesu asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Akokɔ remmɔn mprenu na woapa me mprɛnsa” no. Na ofii ase sui.
