Matthew 8
1 When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
Bere a Yesu sian bepɔw no, dɔm dii nʼakyi.
2 Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.”
Ɔkwatani bi baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛkotow no srɛɛ no se, “Me wura, mesrɛ wo, sɛ ɛyɛ wo pɛ a, sa me yare.”
3 Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Yesu teɛɛ ne nsa de kaa ɔkwatani no kae se, “Mɛsa wo yare. Wo ho mfi!” Amono mu hɔ ara, kwata no fii ne ho.
4 Jesus said to him, “See that you tell nobody; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wo ne obiara nni wʼayaresa yi ho nkɔmmɔ. Kɔ na fa wo ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo, na bɔ afɔre a Mose hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmmɔ sɛ adansede no.”
5 When he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him for help,
Yesu kɔɔ Kapernaum. Oduu hɔ no, Roma asraafo ɔha so panyin bi baa ne kyɛn bebuu no nkotodwe kae se,
6 saying, “Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented.”
“Awurade, mʼabofra abubu gu hɔ a ɔrehu amane; mesrɛ wo, bɛsa no yare ma me.”
7 Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mɛba abɛsa no yare.”
8 The centurion answered, “Lord, I’m not worthy for you to come under my roof. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Asraafo ha so panyin no tee Yesu asɛm a ɔkae no, ɔkae se, “Awurade, memfata sɛ woba me fi. Ka biribi na mʼabofra no ho bɛyɛ no den.
9 For I am also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and tell another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and tell my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
Meyɛ obi a mehyɛ tumi ase, na mesan wɔ asraafo a wɔhyɛ mʼase. Meka kyerɛ wɔn mu bi sɛ ɔnkɔ a, ɔkɔ. Meka kyerɛ ɔfoforo se ɔmmra a, ɔba. Saa ara nso na mehyɛ me somfo sɛ ɔnyɛ biribi a, ɔyɛ ara ne no.”
10 When Jesus heard it, he marveled and said to those who followed, “Most certainly I tell you, I haven’t found so great a faith, not even in Israel.
Yesu tee saa asɛm no, ɛyɛɛ no nwonwa. Ɔdan nʼani, ka kyerɛɛ nnipadɔm a wodi nʼakyi no se, “Israelman mu nyinaa, minhuu gyidi a ɛte sɛɛ da.
11 I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven,
Na mereka akyerɛ mo se, nnipa pii befi apuei ne atɔe aba na wɔne Abraham, Isak ne Yakob abɛtena ase wɔ ɔsoro Ahenni no mu.
12 but the children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Na Israelfo a wosiesiee ɔsoro ahenni maa wɔn no mu pii wɔ hɔ a wɔde wɔn nsa begu wɔn ti atwa agyaadwo na wɔatow wɔn agu sum kabii mu ama ɔyaw.”
13 Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed.” His servant was healed in that hour.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ asraafo so panyin no se, “Kɔ fie. Nea wugye di no mmra mu saa mma wo!” Abofra no ho tɔɔ no saa bere no ara mu!
14 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.
Yesu kɔɔ Petro fi. Ɔkɔtoo sɛ atiridii akyere Petro asebea ma ɔda hɔ.
15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her. So she got up and served him.
Yesu soo ne nsa mu maa atiridii no tu fii no so. Ɔsɔre noaa aduan maa wɔn.
16 When evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,
Saa da no anwummere no, wɔde wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonhommɔne pii brɛɛ Yesu. Nʼanom asɛm a ɔkae no maa ahonhommɔne no nyinaa tu yerae, na wɔn a wɔyare no nyinaa nso ho tɔɔ wɔn.
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.”
Eyi maa nea Odiyifo Yesaia kae se, “Ɔfaa yɛn ahoɔmmerɛw, na ɔsoaa yɛn nyarewa nyinaa” no baa mu.
18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
Yesu huu sɛ dɔm no redɔɔso no, ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, wontwa ɔtare no nkɔ nʼagya nohɔ.
19 A scribe came and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
Ɛhɔ ara Yudani kyerɛkyerɛfo bi ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, baabiara a wobɛkɔ no, medi wʼakyi!”
20 Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”
Yesu buaa no se, “Sakraman wɔ wɔn abon, wim nnomaa nso wɔ mmerebuw, nanso me, Onipa Ba no de, minni baabi a mede me ti to!”
21 Another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
Asuafo no mu baako bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, ma me kwan na minkosie mʼagya ansa na mabedi wʼakyi.”
22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
Nanso Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Di mʼakyi. Wɔn a wɔawu no nsie wɔn awufo.”
23 When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
Yesu saa nyarewa no wiee no, ɔkɔtenaa ɔkorow mu na nʼasuafo no dii nʼakyi.
24 Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves; but he was asleep.
Prɛko pɛ, ahum kɛse bi tu maa asorɔkye bu bɛkataa ɔkorow no so. Nanso na Yesu de, wada.
25 The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”
Nʼasuafo no de nteɛteɛmu kɔɔ ne nkyɛn, konyan no kae se, “Awurade! Gye yɛn na yɛreyɛ amem!”
26 He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
Yesu nyanee no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo a mo gyidi sua, adɛn na moabɔ hu saa?” Ɛhɔ ara, ɔsɔre teɛteɛɛ ahum ne asorɔkye no ma ɛyɛɛ dinn.
27 The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Asuafo no ho dwiriw wɔn yiye. Wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Onipa bɛn mpo ni a ahum ne ɛpo tie no yi?”
28 When he came to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass that way.
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no duu asuogya wɔ Gadarafo asase so no, nnipa baanu bi a ahonhommɔne wɔ wɔn so fii amusiei behyiaa no. Esiane sɛ na saa nnipa yi yɛ keka nti, na obiara ntumi mfa faako a wɔwɔ hɔ.
29 Behold, they cried out, saying, “What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”
Wohuu no pɛ, wofii ase teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Onyankopɔn Ba, dɛn na worehwehwɛ afi yɛn nkyɛn? Woaba ha sɛ worebɛyɛ yɛn ayayade wɔ bere a mmere no nsoe ana?”
30 Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
Saa bere koro no ara mu, na mprakokuw bi redidi wɔ nkyɛn baabi.
31 The demons begged him, saying, “If you cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of pigs.”
Ahonhommɔne no srɛɛ Yesu se, “Sɛ wutu yɛn a, fa yɛn kɔhyɛ mprakokuw yi mu.”
32 He said to them, “Go!” They came out and went into the herd of pigs; and behold, the whole herd of pigs rushed down the cliff into the sea and died in the water.
Yesu teɛɛ wɔn se, “Mumfi!” Ɛhɔ ara ahonhommɔne no fii nnipa no mu, kowuraa mprako no mu. Mprakokuw no nyinaa de mmirika sian bepɔw no, koguu ɛpo no mu ma ɛfaa wɔn.
33 Those who fed them fled and went away into the city and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.
Ntɛm ara, wɔn a wɔhwɛ mprako no so no tuu mmirika kɔɔ kurom, kɔkaa nea asi no kyerɛɛ nkurɔfo.
34 Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged that he would depart from their borders.
Kurom hɔfo no tee nea aba no, wɔbɔɔ twi kɔɔ nea Yesu wɔ hɔ no. Wohuu Yesu no, wɔsrɛɛ no sɛ omfi wɔn man mu hɔ nkɔ.
