< Mark 14 >

1 Now the passover and the [feast of] unleavened bread was after two days. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might seize him by subtlety and kill him.
Aka nnanu na Twam Afahyɛ ne Apiti Afahyɛ a ɛyɛ Yudafoɔ ahomegyeɛ nna no aduru no, asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no hwehwɛɛ nyansakwan a wɔbɛfa so akye Yesu, akum no.
2 For they said, Not in the feast, lest perhaps there be a tumult of the people.
Nanso, wɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛrenkyere no afahyɛ no mu, anyɛ saa a ɛde basabasa bɛba ɔman no mu.”
3 And when he was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he lay at table, there came a woman having an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly; and having broken the alabaster flask, she poured it out upon his head.
Yesu wɔ Betania na ɔne Simon kwatani redidi no, ɔbaa bi a ɔkura ngo hwamhwam bi a ne bo yɛ den baa hɔ. Ɔtuu ano, hwie guu Yesu tirim.
4 And there were some indignant in themselves, and saying, Why has this waste been made of the ointment?
Deɛ ɔbaa yi yɛeɛ no anyɛ nnipa a wɔte adidiiɛ no mu bi dɛ. Na wɔkaa sɛ, “Wasɛe ngo no kwa.
5 for this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor. And they spoke very angrily at her.
Anka ɔbɛtumi atɔn ngo hwamhwam yi anya sika pii na ɔde ama ahiafoɔ.”
6 But Jesus said, Let her alone; why do ye trouble her? she has wrought a good work as to me;
Nanso, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnyaa no! Adɛn enti na moreha no wɔ ade pa a ɔyɛeɛ no ho?
7 for ye have the poor always with you, and whenever ye would ye can do them good; but me ye have not always.
Mo ne ahiafoɔ a mobɛtumi aboa wɔn ɛberɛ biara mu na ɛte. Na me deɛ, merenkyɛ wɔ mo nkyɛn.
8 What she could she has done. She has beforehand anointed my body for the burial.
Wayɛ deɛ ɔbɛtumi. Wadi ɛkan asra me onipadua ama ɛda a wobɛsie me.
9 And verily I say unto you, Wheresoever these glad tidings may be preached in the whole world, what this [woman] has done shall be also spoken of for a memorial of her.
Mereka makyerɛ mo sɛ, baabiara a wɔbɛka Asɛmpa no wɔ ewiase no, wɔde deɛ ɔbaa yi yɛeɛ no bɛkae no, akamfo no.”
10 And Judas Iscariote, one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them;
Afei, Yuda Iskariot, asuafoɔ dumienu no mu baako, kɔɔ asɔfoɔ mpanin no nkyɛn ne wɔn kɔhyehyɛɛ sɛdeɛ ɔbɛyi Yesu ama wɔn no ho.
11 and they, when they heard it, rejoiced, and promised him to give money. And he sought how he could opportunely deliver him up.
Asɔfoɔ mpanin no tee asɛm no, ɛyɛɛ wɔn anigye ma wɔhyɛɛ no bɔ. Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, ɔhwehwɛɛ sɛdeɛ ɔbɛnya Yesu ho ɛkwan, ayi no ama ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu.
12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they slew the passover, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that thou mayest eat the passover?
Apiti Afahyɛ no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan a wɔkum Twam Afahyɛ odwan no, nʼasuafoɔ bisaa no faako a wɔbɛkɔ akɔdi Twam Afahyɛ no.
13 And he sends two of his disciples, and says to them, Go into the city, and a man shall meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.
Ɔsomaa nʼasuafoɔ no mu baanu kɔɔ Yerusalem sɛ wɔnkɔsiesie baabi mma no. Deɛ ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn ne sɛ, “Morekɔ kuro no mu a, mobɛhyia onipa bi a ɔso ahina. Monni nʼakyi.
14 And wheresoever he enters, say to the master of the house, The Teacher says, Where is my guest-chamber where I may eat the passover with my disciples?
Baabiara a ɔbɛwura no, monka nkyerɛ efiewura no sɛ, ‘Yɛn wura asoma yɛn sɛ, yɛmmɛhwɛ ɛdan a wɔasiesie ama yɛn a yɛbɛdi Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ mu no.’
15 and he will shew you a large upper room furnished ready. There make ready for us.
Ɔbɛkyerɛ mo abansoro asa kɛseɛ bi a wɔasiesie mu. Ɛhɔ na monyɛ ahoboa mma yɛn.”
16 And his disciples went away and came into the city, and found as he had said to them; and they made ready the passover.
Asuafoɔ baanu no siim kɔɔ kuro no mu, na wɔhunuu biribiara sɛdeɛ Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no pɛpɛɛpɛ, na wɔsiesiee Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ hɔ.
17 And when evening was come, he comes with the twelve.
Ɛduruu anwummerɛ no, Yesu ne dumienu no baeɛ.
18 And as they lay at table and were eating, Jesus said, Verily I say to you, One of you shall deliver me up; he who is eating with me.
Na wɔte hɔ redidi no, Yesu kaa sɛ, “Merema mo ate aseɛ sɛ, mo a me ne mo reto nsa adidi yi mu baako bɛyi me ama.”
19 And they began to be grieved, and to say to him, one by one, Is it I? [and another, Is it I?]
Wɔn nyinaa werɛ hoeɛ, na wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ bisaa mmaako mmaako sɛ, “Ɛyɛ me anaa?”
20 But he answered and said to them, One of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish.
Ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛyɛ mo dumienu a mo ne me reto nsa adidi yi mu baako.
21 The Son of man goes indeed as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; [it were] good for that man if he had not been born.
Onipa Ba no wu sɛdeɛ odiyifoɔ no hyɛɛ ne ho nkɔm no; nanso onipa a ɔbɛyi Onipa Ba no ama no, nnue! Sɛ wanwo saa onipa no a, anka ɛyɛ.”
22 And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken bread, when he had blessed, broke [it], and gave [it] to them, and said, Take [this]: this is my body.
Ɛberɛ a wɔredidi no, Yesu faa abodoo, na ɔhyiraa so bubuiɛ, na ɔde maa wɔn kaa sɛ, “Monnye nni; yei ne me onipadua.”
23 And having taken [the] cup, when he had given thanks, he gave [it] to them, and they all drank out of it.
Afei, ɔfaa kuruwa a nsã wɔ mu, na ɔdaa ase no, ɔde maa wɔn, na wɔn nyinaa nom bi.
24 And he said to them, This is my blood, that of the [new] covenant, that shed for many.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Yei ne me mogya a ɛyɛ apam no mogya a ɛhyɛ Apam Foforɔ no mu den a bebree enti wɔrehwie agu.
25 Verily I say to you, I will no more drink at all of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
Mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, merennom saa nsã yi bio da akɔsi ɛda a me ne mo bɛnom bi bio wɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu.”
26 And having sung a hymn, they went out to the mount of Olives.
Wɔtoo dwom bi wieeɛ no, wofirii hɔ kɔɔ Ngo Bepɔ no so.
27 And Jesus says to them, All ye shall be offended, for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.
Wɔduruu deɛ wɔrekɔ no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo nyinaa bɛdwane agya me. Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn nam adiyifoɔ no so kaa sɛ, “‘Mɛbɔ odwanhwɛfoɔ no, na nnwan no abɔ apete.’
28 But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
Na sɛ mewusɔre a, mɛdi mo anim akɔ Galilea akɔhyia mo wɔ hɔ.”
29 But Peter said to him, Even if all should be offended, yet not I.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ nnipa nyinaa bɛdwane agya wo a, me deɛ, merennwane nnya wo da!”
30 And Jesus says to him, Verily I say to thee, that thou to-day, in this night, before [the] cock shall crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Petro, ansa na anadwo yi akokɔ bɛbɔn mprenu no, na woapa me mprɛnsa.”
31 But he said [so much] exceedingly the more, If I should have to die with thee, I will in no wise deny thee. And likewise said they all too.
Petro de anibereɛ kaa sɛ, “Merempa wo da! Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ me ne wo wu mpo a, merempa wo da!” Saa ara na wɔn a aka no nyinaa nso kaeɛ.
32 And they come to a place of which the name [is] Gethsemane, and he says to his disciples, Sit here while I shall pray.
Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no duruu baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ Getsemane no, ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Montena ha, na merekɔbɔ mpaeɛ aba.”
33 And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and he began to be amazed and oppressed in spirit.
Ɔfaa Petro, Yakobo ne Yohane kaa ne ho, na ne ho hyɛɛ aseɛ yeraa no, na ɔyɛɛ basaa.
34 And he says to them, My soul is full of grief even unto death; abide here and watch.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Awerɛhoɔ ahyɛ me kra ma. Montena ha, na mo ne me nwɛn.”
35 And, going forward a little, he fell upon the earth; and he prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
Ɔkɔɔ nʼanim kakra, kɔbutuu fam, bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, sɛ ɛbɛtumi a, saa ahoyera no ntwa ne ho nkɔ.
36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: take away this cup from me; but not what I will, but what thou [wilt].
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Abba, Agya! Wotumi yɛ biribiara. Ma kuruwa yi ntwa me ho nkɔ. Nanso, deɛ wopɛ na ɛnyɛ hɔ, na ɛnyɛ deɛ mepɛ.”
37 And he comes and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter, Simon, dost thou sleep? Hast thou not been able to watch one hour?
Ɔsane baeɛ no, ɔbɛhunuu asuafoɔ baasa no sɛ wɔadeda. Ɔbisaa Petro sɛ, “Simon, woada? Woantumi ne me anwɛn dɔnhwereɛ baako pɛ mpo?
38 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh weak.
Monwɛn na mommɔ mpaeɛ na ɔsɔhwɛfoɔ no anni mo so. Honhom no pɛ deɛ, na honam no na ɛyɛ mmerɛ.”
39 And going away, he prayed again, saying the same thing.
Ɔsane kɔɔ bio kɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ korɔ no ara.
40 And returning, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what they should answer him.
Ɔsane baa wɔn nkyɛn bio bɛhunuu sɛ wɔadeda, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔabrɛbrɛ. Na wonhunu deɛ wɔnka nkyerɛ no.
41 And he comes the third time and says to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
Ɔsane baa ne mprɛnsa so no, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ. “Mogu so adeda a morehome? Ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ mode da no atwam. Wɔrebɛyi Onipa Ba no ahyɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ nsa.
42 Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.
Monsɔre na yɛnkɔ! Monhwɛ, deɛ ɔreyi me ama no wɔ ha!”
43 And immediately, while he was yet speaking, Judas comes up, [being] one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
Ɔgu so rekasa no, Yuda a ɔyɛ nʼasuafoɔ no mu baako ne dɔm a asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Yudafoɔ mpanin asoma wɔn ka ne ho a, wɔkurakura akofena ne mmaa baa hɔ.
44 Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign between them, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; seize him, and lead [him] away safely.
Na Yuda aka akyerɛ wɔn dada sɛ, “Deɛ mɛbam no, ayɛ no atuu no, ɔno ne deɛ morehwehwɛ no no. Monkyere no, na monsɔ ne mu yie mfa no nkɔ.”
45 And being come, straightway coming up to him, he says, Rabbi, Rabbi; and he covered him with kisses.
Ɛno enti, wɔduruu hɔ pɛ, ɔkɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kɔbam no kaa sɛ, “Me Wura.” Afei, ɔyɛɛ no atuu.
46 And they laid their hands upon him and seized him.
Ɛhɔ ara, na ɛdɔm a wɔne Yuda nam no sɔɔ Yesu mu kyeree no.
47 But a certain one of those who stood by, having drawn his sword, struck the bondman of the high priest, and took off his ear.
Wɔn a wɔka Yesu ho no mu baako twee ne akofena de twaa Ɔsɔfopanin no akoa bi aso ma ɛteeɛ.
48 And Jesus answering said to them, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and sticks to take me?
Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Meyɛ owudifoɔ enti na mode akofena ne mmaa aba me so rebɛkye me anaa?
49 I was daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me; but [it is] that the scriptures may be fulfilled.
Adɛn na ɛberɛ a merekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan mu hɔ no, moankye me? Nanso, yeinom nyinaa aba sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a nkɔm a wɔhyɛɛ wɔ me ho no bɛba mu.”
50 And all left him and fled.
Asuafoɔ no nyinaa dwane gyaa no.
51 And a certain young man followed him with a linen cloth cast about his naked [body]; and [the young men] seize him;
Aberanteɛ bi a ɔde ntomasini bi asi nʼasene dii nʼakyi.
52 but he, leaving the linen cloth behind [him], fled from them naked.
Ɛdɔm a wɔbɛkyeree Yesu no pɛɛ sɛ wɔkyere no, nanso ɔgyaa ne ntoma no maa wɔn, de ne ho saa ara dwanee.
53 And they led away Jesus to the high priest. And there come together to him all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
Wɔde Yesu kɔɔ Ɔsɔfopanin no anim no, ankyɛre na asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Yudafoɔ mpanin bi bɛhyiaa hɔ.
54 And Peter followed him at a distance, till [he was] within the court of the high priest's palace; and he was sitting with the officers and warming himself in the light [of the fire].
Ɛberɛ a wɔde Yesu rekɔ no, Petro tee ne ho dii wɔn akyi, na ɔwiawiaa ne ho kɔhyɛɛ Ɔsɔfopanin no efie hɔ de ne ho kɔfraa asomfoɔ bi a na wɔreto ogya no mu.
55 And the chief priests and the whole sanhedrim sought testimony against Jesus to cause him to be put to death, and did not find [any].
Asɔfoɔ mpanin ne badwafoɔ no nyinaa hwehwɛɛ sɛ wɔbɛnya asɛm bi atia Yesu, na wɔagyina so abu no kumfɔ. Nanso, wɔannya bi.
56 For many bore false witness against him, and their testimony did not agree.
Nnipa pii bɛdii adansekurumu tiaa Yesu, nanso wɔn nsɛm a wɔkaeɛ no bɔɔ abira.
57 And certain persons rose up and bore false witness against him, saying,
Afei, nnipa no bi kekaa nsɛm a ɛnnim too ne so sɛ,
58 We heard him saying, I will destroy this temple which is made with hands, and in the course of three days I will build another not made with hands.
“Yɛtee sɛ ɔkaa sɛ, ‘Mɛbubu asɔredan a wɔde nsa na ɛsii no, na mede nnansa asi foforɔ a wɔamfa nsa ansi!’”
59 And neither thus did their testimony agree.
Na yei mpo, wɔn adanseɛ no anhyia.
60 And the high priest, rising up before them all, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? What do these testify against thee?
Ɔsɔfopanin no sɔre gyinaa badwa no mfimfini bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Yei nso, wonni ho anoyie biara? Ɛdeɛn na wowɔ ka?”
61 But he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and says to him, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
Yesu ammua no. Afei, Ɔsɔfopanin no bisaa no bio sɛ, “Wone Agyenkwa no, Onyankopɔn Ba no anaa?”
62 And Jesus said, I am, and ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Mene no, na mobɛhunu Onipa Ba no sɛ ɔte Onyankopɔn nifa, na ɔnam omununkum mu resane aba asase so.”
63 And the high priest, having rent his clothes, says, What need have we any more of witnesses?
Yei maa Ɔsɔfopanin no sunsuanee nʼatadeɛ mu kaa sɛ, “Adansefoɔ bɛn na wɔn ho hia yɛn bio?
64 Ye have heard the blasphemy; what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
Mo nyinaa ate abususɛm a ɔkaeɛ no. Ɛdeɛn na mowɔ ka?” Wɔn nyinaa gye too mu sɛ, ɔsɛ owuo.
65 And some began to spit upon him, and cover up his face, and buffet him, and say to him, Prophesy; and the officers struck him with the palms of their hands.
Na ebinom tee ntasuo guu ne so, na wɔkyekyeree nʼani, na wɔbobɔɔ no akuturuku bisaa no sɛ “Wose woyɛ odiyifoɔ, kyerɛ yɛn onipa ko a ɔbɔɔ wo!” Na asomfoɔ a wɔde no rekɔ no bobɔɔ no asotorɔ.
66 And Peter being below in the palace-court, there comes one of the maids of the high priest,
Ɛberɛ a na Petro te adihɔ hɔ no, Ɔsɔfopanin no mmaawa no mu baako baa hɔ;
67 and seeing Peter warming himself, having looked at him, says, And thou wast with the Nazarene, Jesus.
na ɔhunuu Petro sɛ ɔreto ogya no, ɔhwɛɛ no haa, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo nso wo ne Nasareni Yesu no na ɛnam!”
68 But he denied, saying, I know not nor understand what thou sayest. And he went out into the vestibule; and a cock crew.
Petro saneeɛ sɛ, “Mennim deɛ woreka yi ho hwee!” Na ɛhɔ ara na ɔfirii adi kɔtenaa nkyɛn baabi. Saa ɛberɛ no ara na akokɔ bɔnee.
69 And the maid, seeing him, again began to say to those that stood by, This is [one] of them.
Abaawa no sane hunuu no, na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ ka kyerɛɛ wɔn a ɔne wɔn nam no sɛ, “Yei nso ka wɔn ho. Ɔyɛ Yesu asuafoɔ no mu baako!”
70 And he again denied. And again, after a little, those that stood by said to Peter, Truly thou art [one] of them, for also thou art a Galilean.
Petro saneeɛ bio. Ɛkyɛɛ kakra no, nnipa a wɔgyina ogya no ho no hyɛɛ aseɛ ka kyerɛɛ Petro sɛ, “Woka wɔn ho, ɛfiri sɛ, woyɛ Galileani!”
71 But he began to curse and to swear, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
Petro hyɛɛ aseɛ kekaa ntam, dii nse sɛ, “Mennim saa onipa a moreka ne ho asɛm yi.”
72 And the second time a cock crew. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said to him, Before [the] cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice; and when he thought thereon he wept.
Na ɛhɔ ara, akokɔ bɔnee deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu. Na Petro kaee Yesu asɛm a ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Akokɔ remmɔn mprenu na woapa me mprɛnsa” no. Na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ suiɛ.
