Mark 9
1 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see God’s Kingdom come with power.”
Yesu kɔɔ so ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Mo a mugyina ha yi mu bi bɛtena ase akosi sɛ mubehu sɛ, Onyankopɔn ahenni no reba tumi mu!”
2 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.
Nnansia akyi na Yesu faa Petro, Yakobo ne Yohane de wɔn kɔɔ bepɔw tenten bi atifi. Saa bere no na obiara nka wɔn ho. Ɛhɔ ara na Yesu anuonyam hyerɛn wɔ wɔn anim.
3 His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
Nʼatade hyerɛn yɛɛ fitafita sen sɛnea obi betumi ahoro saa atade no ama ayɛ.
4 Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
Afei Elia ne Mose befii hɔ. Na wɔne Yesu kasae!
5 Peter answered Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
Petro ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, eye sɛ yɛwɔ ha. Yɛbɛbɔ asese abiɛsa wɔ ha, wo de baako, Mose de baako na Elia de baako.”
6 For he didn’t know what to say, for they were very afraid.
Esiane sɛ na wɔabɔ hu no nti na ɛma ɔkaa saa.
7 A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
Na omununkum bɛkataa wɔn so. Nne bi fi omununkum no mu kae se, “Oyi ne me Dɔba. Muntie no.”
8 Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.
Mpofirim a wɔhwɛɛ wɔn ho no, wɔanhu obiara ka Yesu ho.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, he commanded them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
Wɔresian afi bepɔw no so no, Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano se wɔnnka nea wɔahu no nkyerɛ obiara kosi sɛ ɔbɛsɔre afi awufo mu.
10 They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the “rising from the dead” meant.
Asuafo no anka ankyerɛ obiara na mmom, ɛyɛ a na wɔtaa bisabisa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, nʼasɛm a ɔkae se, “Menyan afi awufo mu” no, na ɔkyerɛ dɛn?
11 They asked him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
Na nʼasuafo no bisaa no nea enti a mmara no akyerɛkyerɛfo no ka se, ɛsɛ sɛ Elia san ba kan.
12 He said to them, “Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?
Yesu gye too mu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ Elia di kan ba bɛtoto nneɛma nyinaa yiye. Ɔkae se, “Ɛno de, na adɛn nti na wɔakyerɛw se Onipa Ba no behu amane bebree na wɔapo no?
13 But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”
Nanso mise mo sɛ, Elia aba dedaw! Na wɔne no anni no yiye sɛnea adiyifo no hyɛɛ ho nkɔm no.”
14 Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.
Bere a wosian beduu bepɔw no ase hɔ no, wohuu sɛ nnipakuw atwa asuafo a wɔaka no ho ahyia, na wɔne mmara no akyerɛkyerɛfo no regye wɔn ho wɔn ho akyinnye.
15 Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him.
Bere a nnipakuw no huu Yesu no wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn, na wɔde mmirika behyiaa no.
16 He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Akyinnye a na moregye no fa dɛn ho?”
17 One of the multitude answered, “Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;
Nnipa no mu baako kae se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, mede me ba aba ha sɛ sa no yare. Honhommɔne bi a ɛwɔ ne so nti, ontumi nkasa.
18 and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”
Sɛ honhommɔne no ka ne ho wɔ ne mu a, etwa no hwe fam ma nʼano twa ahuru, twɛre ne se a wasinsen. Ɛno nti mesrɛɛ wʼasuafo no se wontu honhommɔne no mfi ne mu, nanso wɔantumi.”
19 He answered him, “Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “O, mo a mo gyidi sua, me ne mo ntena nkosi da bɛn ansa na mo gyidi atim? Momfa abarimaa no mmrɛ me.”
20 They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
Wɔde abarimaa no brɛɛ Yesu. Wɔde no duu Yesu anim ara pɛ na ɔyare no baa denneennen, twaa no hwee fam, ma ɔperee a nʼano refi ahuru.
21 He asked his father, “How long has it been since this has been happening to him?” He said, “From childhood.
Yesu bisaa abarimaa no agya se, “Nnaahe ni a ɔyare yi baa ne so?” Abarimaa no agya buaa Yesu se, “Efi ne mmofraase pɛɛ;
22 Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
na ɛtɔ da bi koraa a, ɔyare no tumi twa no hwe ogya anaa nsu mu pɛ sɛ ekum no. Enti sɛ wubetumi asa no yare de a, hu yɛn mmɔbɔ, na sa no yare ma yɛn.”
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
Yesu bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na woka se sɛ metumi a? Nneɛma nyinaa betumi ayɛ hɔ ama obiara a ogye di.”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, “I believe. Help my unbelief!”
Abarimaa no agya buae se, “Mewɔ gyidi nanso esua, enti boa me, na hyɛ me gyidi mu den!”
25 When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!”
Yesu huu sɛ nnipa no dɔ ara na wɔredɔɔso no, ɔteɛɛ honhommɔne no se, “Honhommɔne ɔsotifo ne mumu, mehyɛ wo sɛ, fi abofra yi mu kɔ. Nkɔhyɛ ne mu bio!”
26 After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”
Afei ɔyare no baa denneennen ansa na ɛrefi ne mu, enti ɛmaa abarimaa no yɛɛ sɛ owufo. Nnipakuw no kasaa huhuhuhu se, “Wawu.”
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.
Na Yesu soo ne nsa pagyaw no ma ogyinaa ne nan so a ne ho atɔ no.
28 When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?”
Eyi akyi a Yesu ne nʼasuafo no nko ara wɔ fie no, wobisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na yɛn de yɛantumi antu saa honhommɔne no?”
29 He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mpaebɔ nko ara na ebetumi atu saa ɔyare yi.”
30 They went out from there and passed through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know it,
Yesu fii hɔ no ɔfaa Galilea, efisɛ na ɔmpɛ sɛ nnipa te ne nka.
31 for he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, “The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again.”
Na ɔpɛ sɛ onya bere ma nʼasuafo no de kyerɛkyerɛ wɔn. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Wobeyi Onipa Ba no ama, na wɔakum no, na ne nnansa so no ɔbɛsɔre aba nkwa mu bio.”
32 But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
Asuafo no ante asɛm a ɔkae yi ase, nanso na wosuro sɛ wobebisa no ase.
33 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, “What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?”
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no baa Kapernaum. Bere a woduu ofi a wɔbɛtena mu no mu na wɔregye wɔn ahome no, Yesu bisaa nʼasuafo no se, “Yɛreba no dɛn akyinnye na na moregye wɔ ɔkwan so no?”
34 But they were silent, for they had disputed with one another on the way about who was the greatest.
Asuafo no antumi ammua efisɛ na wɔredwinnwen nea ɔbɛyɛ wɔn mu ɔkɛse no ho.
35 He sat down and called the twelve; and he said to them, “If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.”
Ɔtenaa ase frɛɛ wɔn baa ne nkyɛn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔpanyin wɔ mo mu no ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ abofra anaa ɔsomfo wɔ mo mu!”
36 He took a little child and set him in the middle of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
Afei ɔde abofra ketewa bi begyinaa wɔn mfimfini. Ɔde abofra no kyerɛɛ wɔn kae se,
37 “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”
“Mo mu biara a me nti obegye abofra ketewa sɛ oyi no agye me, na nea obegye me no nso agye mʼAgya a ɔsomaa me no.”
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”
Yohane a ɔyɛ asuafo no mu baako no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, yehuu ɔbarima bi a ɔde wo din retu ahonhommɔne nti yɛka kyerɛɛ no se onnyae, efisɛ ɔnka yɛn ho.”
39 But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
Yesu kae se, “Munnsiw no kwan. Efisɛ obiara nni hɔ a ɔreyɛ anwonwade wɔ me din mu na obetwa ne ho atia me.
40 For whoever is not against us is on our side.
Na obiara a ontia yɛn no wɔ yɛn afa.
41 For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
Obiara a esiane sɛ, moyɛ Kristo de no nti ɔbɛma mo nsu kuruwa ma anom no akatua remmɔ no da.
42 “Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.
“Enti sɛ obi to mmofra nketewa a wogye me di yi mu bi hintidua a, eye ma no sɛ anka wɔde ɔbotan duruduru bɛsɛn ne kɔn mu, atow no akyene po mu.
43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire, (Geenna g1067)
Sɛ wo nsa ma woyɛ bɔne a, twa na tow kyene. Eye ma wo sɛ wode dɛmdi bɛkɔ nkwa mu sen sɛ, wɔde wo nipadua nyinaa bɛto amanehunu gya (Geenna g1067)
44 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
a ennum da no mu.
45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched— (Geenna g1067)
Na sɛ wo nan ma woyɛ bɔne a, twa na tow kyene. Eye ma wo sɛ wode nansin bɛkɔ nkwa mu sen sɛ, wode nan abien bɛkɔ amanehunu gya (Geenna g1067)
46 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
a ennum da no mu.”
47 If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire, (Geenna g1067)
Na sɛ wʼani ma woyɛ bɔne a, tu na tow kyene. Eye ma wo sɛ wode ani baako bɛkɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu sen sɛ wowɔ ani abien na wɔde wo bɛto amanehunu gya mu (Geenna g1067)
48 ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’
baabi a “‘ogya no ennum da na ɛhɔ asunson nso nwu da.’
49 For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
Na wɔde ogya bɛhyɛ wɔn nyinaa nkyene.
50 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
“Nkyene yɛ dɛ, nanso sɛ nkyene yera ne dɛ a, ɛso nni mfaso bio; wonte ne dɛ wɔ biribiara mu. Enti monnyera mo dɛ. Mo ne mo ho mo ho ntena asomdwoe mu.”
