Luke 5
1 And it came to pass, as the crowd pressed on him to hear the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret:
Ɛda bi a Yesu reka asɛmpa wɔ Genesaret ɔtadeɛ ho no, nnipakuo bɛkyeree ne so sɛ wɔrebɛtie Onyankopɔn asɛm.
2 and he saw two ships standing by the lake, but the fishermen, having come down from them, were washing their nets.
Ɔhunuu akodoɔ mmienu a afarefoɔ bi a wɔrehohoro wɔn asau wɔ mu no agya wɔ ɔtadeɛ no ho.
3 And getting into one of the ships, which was Simon's, he asked him to draw out a little from the land; and he sat down and taught the crowds out of the ship.
Yesu kɔtenaa kodoɔ no baako a na ɛyɛ Simon dea no mu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ Simon sɛ ɔmpia nkɔ nsuo no mu kakra sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛtumi afiri hɔ akasa akyerɛ nnipa no.
4 But when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Draw out into the deep [water] and let down your nets for a haul.
Yesu wiee nʼasɛnka no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Simon sɛ, “Hare kɔ baabi a emu dɔ kakra na monkɔgu mo asau no na mobɛyi nam bebree.”
5 And Simon answering said to him, Master, having laboured through the whole night we have taken nothing, but at thy word I will let down the net.
Simon kaa sɛ, “Owura, yɛyɛɛ adwuma anadwo mu no nyinaa yɛannya hwee, nanso wʼasɛm enti, yɛbɛgu yɛn asau no.”
6 And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes. And their net broke.
Wɔguu asau no na wɔyii nam bebree maa anka mpo asau no retete.
7 And they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship to come and help them, and they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were sinking.
Wɔfrɛɛ wɔn mfɛfoɔ a wɔwɔ kodoɔ baako no mu no ma wɔbɛboaa wɔn twee asau no. Ɛnam no yɛɛ akodoɔ mmienu no nyinaa ma ma a anka ɛreyɛ amemem mpo.
8 But Simon Peter, seeing it, fell at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord.
Simon Petro hunuu deɛ aba no, ɔbuu Yesu nkotodwe kaa sɛ, “Me wura, mesrɛ wo, firi me nkyɛn kɔ na meyɛ ɔdebɔneyɛfoɔ a mensɛ sɛ wobɛn me.”
9 For astonishment had laid hold on him, and on all those who were with him, at the haul of fishes which they had taken;
Ɛnam dodoɔ a wɔyiiɛ no yɛɛ Petro ne nʼahokafoɔ no nwanwa.
10 and in like manner also on James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; henceforth thou shalt be catching men.
Saa ara nso na ɛyɛɛ Yakobo ne Yohane, Sebedeo mma no nso nwanwa. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Petro sɛ, “Nsuro, ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, wobɛyɛ nnipayifoɔ.”
11 And having run the ships on shore, leaving all they followed him.
Wɔde akodoɔ no bɛduruu nsuo no ano hɔ no, wɔgyaa wɔn nneɛma nyinaa hɔ bɛdii nʼakyi.
12 And it came to pass as he was in one of the cities, that behold, there was a man full of leprosy, and seeing Jesus, falling upon his face, he besought him saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me.
Ɛda bi a Yesu wɔ kuro bi mu no, ɔbarima bi a kwata ayɛ ne honam nyinaa bɛkotoo nʼanim srɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, mesrɛ wo, sɛ ɛyɛ wo pɛ a, sa me yadeɛ.”
13 And stretching forth his hand he touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed: and immediately the leprosy departed from him.
Ɛhɔ ara Yesu tenee ne nsa de kaa no kaa sɛ, “Aane, ɛyɛ me pɛ. Wo ho mfi.” Amonom hɔ ara, ne ho teeɛ.
14 And he enjoined him to tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing as Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.
Yesu hyɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo ne obiara nni wʼayaresa yi ho nkɔmmɔ. Kɔ na fa wo ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfoɔ na bɔ afɔdeɛ a Mose hyɛɛ sɛ akwatafoɔ a wɔn ho ate no mmɔ sɛ adansedie no.”
15 But the report concerning him was spread abroad still more, and great crowds came together to hear, and to be healed from their infirmities.
Yesu anwanwadwuma a ɔyɛeɛ yi maa ne ho asɛm trɛɛ mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa maa nnipa bebree bɛtiee no pɛɛ sɛ ɔsa wɔn yadeɛ nso.
16 And he withdrew himself, and was about in the desert [places] and praying.
Nanso na ɔtaa twe ne ho kɔ ɛserɛ so kɔbɔ mpaeɛ.
17 And it came to pass on one of the days, that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, who were come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and [out of] Jerusalem; and [the] Lord's power was [there] to heal them.
Ɛberɛ bi a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ no, na Farisifoɔ ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ bi a wɔfiri Galilea ne Yudea nkuro ahodoɔ so ne Yerusalem nso wɔ hɔ bi a wɔretie no. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Onyankopɔn ayaresa tumi ahyɛ no ma.
18 And lo, men bringing upon a couch a man who was paralysed; and they sought to bring him in, and put [him] before him.
Mmarima bi baa hɔ a wɔso obubuafoɔ bi.
19 And not finding what way to bring him in, on account of the crowd, going up on the housetop they let him down through the tiles, with his little couch, into the midst before Jesus.
Esiane sɛ na wɔntumi mfa nnipakuo no mu nkɔ Yesu nkyɛn enti, wɔforoo ɛdan a Yesu wɔ mu no kɔtuu atifi tokuro, de obubuafoɔ a ɔda ne kɛtɛ so no faa mu gyaagyaa no brɛoo, kɔtoo Yesu anim.
20 And seeing their faith, he said, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Yesu hunuu gyidie a wɔwɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔyarefoɔ no sɛ, “Onua, wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo.”
21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason [in their minds], saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins but God alone?
Farisifoɔ no ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no tee asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no, wɔbisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Hwan ne saa onipa yi a ɔreka abususɛm yi? Hwan na ɔtumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ ka Onyankopɔn ho?”
22 But Jesus, knowing their reasonings, answering said to them, Why reason ye in your hearts?
Esiane sɛ Yesu hunuu deɛ wɔdwennwene enti, ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na modwene sɛ asɛm a mekaeɛ yi yɛ abususɛm?”
23 which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Deɛ ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ den, sɛ wɔbɛka akyerɛ obi sɛ, wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo anaasɛ, wɔbɛka sɛ, sɔre na nante?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralysed man, I say to thee, Arise, and take up thy little couch and go to thine house.
Na sɛ ɛbɛyɛ na mobɛhunu sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ wɔ asase so enti.” Mereka akyerɛ wo sɛ, “Sɔre yi wo kɛtɛ na kɔ efie!”
25 And immediately standing up before them, having taken up that whereon he was laid, he departed to his house, glorifying God.
Amonom hɔ ara, ɔsɔreeɛ, yii ne kɛtɛ kɔɔ efie. Ɔrekɔ no nyinaa na ɔreyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ.
26 And astonishment seized all, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to-day.
Wɔn a wɔgyina hɔ no ho dwirii wɔn. Ehu kaa wɔn. Wɔyii Onyankopɔn ayɛ kaa sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ deɛ, yɛahunu anwanwadeɛ.”
27 And after these things he went forth and saw a tax-gatherer, Levi by name, sitting at the receipt of taxes, and said to him, Follow me.
Yei akyi no, Yesu firii hɔ kɔhunuu ɔtogyeni Lewi sɛ ɔte atogyeɛ. Ɔhunuu no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Bɛdi mʼakyi.”
28 And having left all, rising up, he followed him.
Ɛhɔ ara, Lewi sɔre, gyaa ne nneɛma nyinaa hɔ dii nʼakyi.
29 And Levi made a great entertainment for him in his house, and there was a great crowd of tax-gatherers and others who were at table with them.
Akyire yi, Lewi too ɛpono wɔ ne fie maa Yesu. Togyefoɔ ne nnipa ahodoɔ bebree kɔɔ apontoɔ no ase.
30 And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured at his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with tax-gatherers and sinners?
Farisifoɔ ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no hunuu sɛ Yesu ne saa nnipa no ato nsa redidi no, wɔnwiinwii bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wo ne ɔtogyefoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ato nsa redidi?”
31 And Jesus answering said to them, They that are in sound health have not need of a physician, but those that are ill.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Wɔn a wɔyare no na ɔyaresafoɔ ho hia wɔn na ɛnyɛ wɔn a wɔnyare.
32 I am not come to call righteous [persons], but sinful [ones] to repentance.
Mamma sɛ merebɛfrɛ ateneneefoɔ na mmom mebɛfrɛɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnsakyera wɔn adwene.”
33 And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often and make supplications, in like manner those also of the Pharisees, but thine eat and drink?
Nnipa no kɔɔ so bisaa no bio sɛ, “Adɛn enti na Yohane Osubɔni asuafoɔ ne Farisifoɔ asuafoɔ no deɛ wɔtaa di mmuada, na wʼasuafoɔ deɛ daa wɔdidi na wɔnom?”
34 And he said to them, Can ye make the sons of the bridechamber fast when the bridegroom is with them?
Yesu nso bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛho hia sɛ wɔn a wɔn ani agye, anaasɛ wɔn a wɔahyia wɔn ayeforɔ ase no di mmuada, wɔ ɛberɛ a ayeforɔ kunu no wɔ wɔn nkyɛn anaa?
35 But days will come when also the bridegroom will have been taken away from them; then shall they fast in those days.
Nanso, da bi bɛba a wɔbɛfa ayeforɔkunu no afiri wɔn nkyɛn; saa ɛberɛ no na wɔbɛdi mmuada.”
36 And he spoke also a parable to them: No one puts a piece of a new garment upon an old garment, otherwise he will both rend the new, and the piece which is from the new will not suit with the old.
Yesu buu wɔn bɛ yi sɛ, “Obi mmfa ntoma foforɔ ntare ntoma dada mu. Ɔyɛ saa a foforɔ no bɛma dada no asuane. Afei, ɛbɛma nsonsonoeɛ ada foforɔ no ne dada no ntam.
37 And no one puts new wine into old skins, otherwise the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;
Obiara nso mmfa nsã foforɔ ngu mmoa nwoma nsã nkotokuo dada mu. Ɔyɛ saa a, nsã no bɛpaapae nkotokuo no na ahwie agu na nkotokuo no nso asɛe.
38 but new wine is to be put into new skins, and both are preserved.
Yei enti, nsã nkotokuo foforɔ mu nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsã foforɔ gugu.
39 And no one having drunk old wine [straightway] wishes for new, for he says, The old is better.
Obi nnnom nsã dada nnwie mmisa nsã foforɔ ase. Deɛ ɔnom no ka sɛ, ‘dada no na ɛyɛ.’”
