Matthew 9
1 He entered into a boat and crossed over, and came into his own city.
Eyi akyi no, Yesu kɔtenaa ɔkorow bi mu kɔɔ Kapernaum, kurow a ɔte mu no mu.
2 Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”
Oduu hɔ no, ankyɛ biara na nnipa bi de obubuafo bi brɛɛ no sɛ ɔnsa no yare. Na Yesu huu gyidi a wɔwɔ wɔ ne mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafo no se, “Ɔba, ma wʼani nnye, wɔde wo bɔne nyinaa akyɛ wo.”
3 Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”
Ɛhɔ ara na Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo a na wɔwɔ hɔ no bi teɛɛ mu se, “Ɔbarima yi ka abususɛm. Ɔkyerɛ sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn!”
4 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
Yesu huu nea ɛwɔ wɔn adwene mu no, obisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na modwene bɔne wɔ mo koma mu saa?
5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk’?
Me Onipa Ba no, mewɔ tumi wɔ asase yi so sɛ mede bɔne kyɛ. Nea ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ den, sɛ obi bɛka se, ‘Mede wo bɔne akyɛ wo’ anaasɛ ɔbɛka se, ‘Sɔre na nantew?’”
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.”
Nanso sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na mubehu sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ nti. Ɔka kyerɛɛ obubuafo no se, “Sɔre na bobɔw wo kɛtɛ, na kɔ fie efisɛ masa wo yare.”
7 He arose and departed to his house.
Amono mu hɔ ara, obubuafo no sɔre bobɔw ne kɛtɛ, sii mu kɔɔ ne fi!
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
Nnipadɔm no huu anwonwade yi no, wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn yiye. Wɔkamfoo Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔde tumi a ɛte saa ama onipa.
9 As Jesus passed by from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax collection office. He said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed him.
Yesu fi nea ɔsaa obubuafo no yare hɔ rekɔ no, ohuu ɔbarima towgyeni bi a ɔte atowgyei. Wɔfrɛ saa ɔbarima no Mateo. Yesu huu no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Bedi mʼakyi.” Ɛhɔ ara, Mateo sɔre dii Yesu akyi.
10 As he sat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
Ɛbae sɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafo no kɔɔ Mateo fi kodidii. Wɔredidi no, towgyefo ne nnebɔneyɛfo bebree baa hɔ ne no ne nʼasuafo no too nsa didii.
11 When the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
Farisifo no huu sɛ ɔne nnebɔneyɛfo ato nsa redidi no, anyɛ wɔn dɛ. Wobisaa nʼasuafo no se, “Adɛn nti na mo kyerɛkyerɛfo no de ne ho abɔ nnebɔneyɛfo a wɔte sɛɛ yi?”
12 When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
Yesu tee no, obuaa wɔn se, “Nnipa a wɔnyare no, ɔyaresafo ho nhia wɔn, na nnipa a wɔyare no na ɔyaresafo ho hia wɔn.”
13 But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Ɔsan kaa bio se, “Monkɔhwehwɛ eyi ase wɔ Kyerɛw Kronkron no mu. Wɔakyerɛw se, ‘Ɛnyɛ mo afɔre ne ayɛyɛde na mepɛ, na mmom ahummɔbɔ.’ Mammɛfrɛ atreneefo, na mmom, mebɛfrɛɛ nnebɔneyɛfo sɛ wɔnsakra mmra Onyankopɔn nkyɛn.”
14 Then John’s disciples came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don’t fast?”
Da bi Osuboni Yohane asuafo baa Yesu nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na wʼasuafo no nni mmuada, sɛnea yɛne Farisifo di mmuada no?”
15 Jesus said to them, “Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mugye di sɛ, sɛ ayeforokunu ne ne nnamfonom te hɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ne nnamfonom no werɛ how, na wobua da ana? Bere bi bɛba a wɔbɛfa me afi wɔn nkyɛn. Saa bere no na wobedi mmuada.
16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.
“Hena na ɔde ntama foforo bɛtare ntama dedaw mu? Saa ntaremu no besunsuan dedaw no mu ama tokuru kɛse abɛda hɔ.
17 Neither do people put new wine into old wine skins, or else the skins would burst, and the wine be spilled, and the skins ruined. No, they put new wine into fresh wine skins, and both are preserved.”
Hena na ɔde nsa foforo begu aboa nhoma nsa nkotoku dedaw mu? Sɛ ɔyɛ saa a, nsa no bɛpae nkotoku no ama nsa no ahwie agu, na nkotoku no nso asɛe. Nsa nkotoku foforomu nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsa foforo gugu na amma nkotoku no ne nsa no mu biara ansɛe.”
18 While he told these things to them, behold, a ruler came and worshiped him, saying, “My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.”
Yesu gu so rekasa no, Yudafo panyin bi ba bɛkotow, sɔree no. Ɔde nʼadesrɛ too Yesu anim se, “Me babea awu mprempren ara. Minim sɛ, sɛ woba de wo nsa bɛka no pɛ a, obenyan.”
19 Jesus got up and followed him, as did his disciples.
Yesu ne nʼasuafo no ne ɔpanyin no sii mu sɛ wɔrekɔ ɔpanyin no fi.
20 Behold, a woman who had a discharge of blood for twelve years came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;
Wɔrekɔ no, ɔbea bi a mogya atu no mfirihyia dumien faa nʼakyi, soo nʼatade ano.
21 for she said within herself, “If I just touch his garment, I will be made well.”
Ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim se, “Sɛ mede me nsa ka no nko ara a, me ho bɛyɛ me den.”
22 But Jesus, turning around and seeing her, said, “Daughter, cheer up! Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that hour.
Yesu dan nʼani ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɔbabea, ma wo bo ntɔ wo yam. Wo gyidi agye wo. Wo ho atɔ wo.” Efi saa bere no mu no, ne ho tɔɔ no.
23 When Jesus came into the ruler’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder,
Yesu duu ɔpanyin no fi hɔ a ohuu sɛ nkurɔfo no bi resu na ebinom reto ayiase nnwom no,
24 he said to them, “Make room, because the girl isn’t dead, but sleeping.” They were ridiculing him.
ɔkae se, “Obiara mfi adi. Ababaa no nwui. Wada!” Yesu asɛm a ɔkae yi maa nnipa no serew no.
25 But when the crowd was sent out, he entered in, took her by the hand, and the girl arose.
Nnipa no nyinaa fii adi no, Yesu kɔɔ faako a ababaa no da hɔ no. Osoo ne nsa. Prɛko pɛ, ababaa no nyanee.
26 The report of this went out into all that land.
Saa anwonwade a Yesu yɛe yi trɛw wɔ mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa.
27 As Jesus passed by from there, two blind men followed him, calling out and saying, “Have mercy on us, son of David!”
Yesu fi nea onyan ababaa no hɔ rekɔ no, anifuraefo baanu bi dii nʼakyi teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Dawid ba, hu yɛn mmɔbɔ!”
28 When he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They told him, “Yes, Lord.”
Yesu duu fie no, anifuraefo no baa ne nkyɛn. Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Mugye di sɛ metumi ama moahu ade?” Wobuaa no se, “Yiw, Awurade, yegye di!”
29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
Yesu de ne nsa kaa wɔn ani kae se, “Mo gyidi nyɛ nea mohwehwɛ mma mo!”
30 Then their eyes were opened. Jesus strictly commanded them, saying, “See that no one knows about this.”
Amono mu hɔ ara na wɔn ani buebuei. Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano se, “Monnka saa ayaresa yi ho asɛm nkyerɛ obiara.”
31 But they went out and spread abroad his fame in all that land.
Nanso nnipa no fii hɔ pɛ na wɔbɔɔ asɛm no dawuru.
32 As they went out, behold, a mute man who was demon possessed was brought to him.
Yesu ne nʼasuafo refi adi no, wɔde mum bi a honhommɔne wɔ ne so brɛɛ no.
33 When the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke. The multitudes marveled, saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”
Yesu tuu honhommɔne no na prɛko pɛ, mum no kasae. Saa honhommɔnetu yi yɛɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa nwonwa ma wɔkae se, “Yenhuu saa anwonwade yi bi da wɔ Israelman mu ha!”
34 But the Pharisees said, “By the prince of the demons, he casts out demons.”
Farisifo no de, wɔkae se, “Ɔbonsam de honhommɔne ahyɛ no ma nti na otumi tu ahonhommɔne no.”
35 Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
Yesu kyinkyinii nkurow so ne nkuraa ase kaa Onyankopɔn Ahenni no ho asɛmpa wɔ wɔn hyiadan mu. Baabiara a ɔkɔe no, ɔkaa asɛmpa no saa nyarewa ahorow bebree.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them because they were harassed and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd.
Bere a Yesu huu nnipadɔm no, ne yam hyehyee no maa wɔn efisɛ ohuu sɛ ɔhaw ahorow gu wɔn so a, wonhu nea wɔnyɛ ne nea wɔmfa a wobenya mmoa nso. Wɔte sɛ nguan a wonni ɔhwɛfo.
37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
Ɛha na Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Otwa adwuma no dɔɔso, nanso adwumayɛfo no sua.
38 Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest.”
Enti monsrɛ adwumawura no na ɔmma adwumayɛfo bebree mmra ne twa adwuma no mu.”
