Luke 7
1 When hee had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum.
Yesu kasa kyerɛɛ nkurɔfoɔ no wieeɛ no, ɔkɔɔ Kapernaum.
2 And a certaine Ceturions seruant was sicke and readie to die, which was deare vnto him.
Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu na Roma ɔsraani panin bi ɔsomfoɔ a ɔpɛ nʼasɛm yie yare dendeenden a ɔreyɛ awu.
3 And when he heard of Iesus, hee sent vnto him the Elders of the Iewes, beseeching him that he would come, and heale his seruant.
Ɔsraani panin no tee Yesu nka no, ɔsomaa Yudafoɔ mpanimfoɔ bi sɛ wɔnkɔsrɛ no na ɔmmɛsa ne ɔsomfoɔ no yadeɛ mma no.
4 So they came to Iesus, and besought him instantly, saying that hee was worthy that hee should doe this for him:
Wɔduruu Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔde asɛm no too nʼanim srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔmmoa ɔsraani panin no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ onipa pa.
5 For he loueth, said they, our nation, and he hath built vs a Synagogue.
Wɔkaa sɛ, “Ɔyɛ obi a ɔdɔ yɛn ɔman na wasi hyiadan ama yɛn.”
6 Then Iesus went with them: but when he was now not farre from the house, the Centurion sent friendes to him, saying vnto him, Lord, trouble not thy selfe: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter vnder my roofe:
Yesu ne wɔn siim. Wɔreyɛ aduru efie hɔ no, ɔsraani panin no somaa ne nnamfo bi sɛ, wɔnkɔka nkyerɛ Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, nha wo ho, na mensɛ sɛ woba me fie.
7 Wherefore I thought not my selfe worthy to come vnto thee: but say the word, and my seruant shalbe whole:
Saa ara na memfata sɛ meba baabi a wowɔ. Kasa, na me ɔsomfoɔ no ho bɛyɛ no den.
8 For I likewise am a man set vnder authoritie, and haue vnder mee souldiers, and I say vnto one, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and hee commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doeth it.
Meyɛ obi a mehyɛ tumi ase, nanso mewɔ asraafoɔ bebree hyɛ mʼase. Meka kyerɛ wɔn mu bi sɛ, ‘Kɔ’ a, ɔkɔ. Meka kyerɛ ɔfoforɔ sɛ, ‘Bra’ a, ɔba. Na mehyɛ me ɔsomfoɔ sɛ, ‘Yɛ yei’ a, ɔyɛ.”
9 When Iesus heard these things, he marueiled at him, and turned him, and said to the people, that followed him, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
Yesu tee asɛm yi no, ne ho dwirii no na ɔdanee nʼani ka kyerɛɛ nnipakuo a wɔdi nʼakyi no sɛ, “Anokwa, Israelman mu nyinaa, menhunuu obiara a ɔwɔ gyidie sɛ saa ɔbarima yi da.”
10 And when they that were sent, turned backe to the house, they founde the seruant that was sicke, whole.
Ɛberɛ a abɔfoɔ no sane kɔduruu efie hɔ no, wɔhunuu sɛ ɔsomfoɔ no ho ayɛ no den.
11 And it came to passe the day after, that he went into a citie called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and a great multitude.
Yei akyi no, Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ ne nnipakuo bi a wɔka ne ho no kɔɔ kuro bi a wɔfrɛ no Nain mu.
12 Nowe when hee came neere to the gate of the citie, behold, there was a dead man caried out, who was the onely begotten sonne of his mother, which was a widowe, and much people of the citie was with her.
Wɔduruu kurotia no, ɔhunuu sɛ wɔrekɔsie obi. Na owufoɔ no yɛ ɔbaa kunafoɔ bi a ɔwɔ kuro no mu no ba barima korɔ. Na adɔfoɔ bebree di amu no akyi.
13 And when the Lord sawe her, he had compassion on her, and said vnto her, Weepe not.
Na Awurade hunuu no no, nʼasɛm yɛɛ no mmɔbɔ, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Gyae su!”
14 And he went and touched the coffin (and they that bare him, stoode still) and he said, Yong man, I say vnto thee, Arise.
Yesu kɔsɔɔ efunu adaka no mu maa wɔn a ɛyɛ wɔn dea no gyinaeɛ. Ɔka kyerɛɛ owufoɔ no sɛ. “Aberanteɛ, mese wo sɛ, nyane!”
15 And he that was dead, sate vp, and began to speake, and he deliuered him to his mother.
Aberanteɛ no sɔre tenaa ase na ɔkasaeɛ. Afei, Yesu de no maa ne maame.
16 Then there came a feare on them all, and they glorified God, saying, A great Prophet is risen among vs, and God hath visited his people.
Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwirii wɔn yie na wɔyii Onyankopɔn ayɛ kaa sɛ, “Odiyifoɔ kɛseɛ bi asɔre wɔ yɛn mu, na Onyankopɔn asiane aba ne manfoɔ mu.”
17 And this rumour of him went foorth throughout all Iudea, and throughout all the region round about.
Deɛ Yesu yɛeɛ yi ho asɛm trɛ kɔduruu Yudea ne nkuro a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa mu.
18 And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these things.
Yohane asuafoɔ kɔbɔɔ no deɛ asi no nyinaa ho amaneɛ.
19 So Iohn called vnto him two certaine men of his disciples, and sent them to Iesus, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
Yohane somaa nʼasuafoɔ no mu baanu kɔɔ Yesu nkyɛn kɔbisaa no sɛ, “Wone deɛ ɔreba no, anaasɛ yɛntwɛn ɔfoforɔ?”
20 And when the men were come vnto him, they said, Iohn Baptist hath sent vs vnto thee, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another?
Asuafoɔ no duruu Yesu nkyɛn no, wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yohane Osubɔni asoma yɛn wo nkyɛn sɛ yɛmmɛbisa wo sɛ, wone deɛ ɔreba no anaasɛ yɛntwɛn ɔfoforɔ?”
21 And at that time, he cured many of their sickenesses, and plagues, and of euill spirites, and vnto many blinde men he gaue sight freely.
Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu, Yesu saa nyarewa bebree; ɔtuu ahonhommɔne na ɔmaa anifirafoɔ hunuu adeɛ.
22 And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Goe your wayes and shewe Iohn, what things ye haue seene and heard: that the blinde see, the halt goe, the lepers are cleansed, the deafe heare, the dead are raised, and the poore receiue the Gospel.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ. “Monkɔka deɛ moahunu na moate yi nkyerɛ Yohane sɛ, mema anifirafoɔ hunu adeɛ, mmubuafoɔ nante, mesa akwatafoɔ yadeɛ, asotifoɔ te asɛm, awufoɔ nyane, meka asɛmpa kyerɛ honhom mu ahiafoɔ.
23 And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me.
Nhyira ne deɛ merenyɛ no suntidua.”
24 And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, hee began to speake vnto the people, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?
Yohane asuafoɔ no firii Yesu nkyɛn kɔeɛ no, Yesu dii Yohane ho adanseɛ kyerɛɛ nnipakuo no. Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Mokɔɔ ɛserɛ so no, ɛdeɛn na mohunuiɛ? Ɛserɛ a mframa rehim no anaa?
25 But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft rayment? beholde, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and liue delicately, are in Kings courtes.
Na ɛnneɛ na ɛdeɛn na mohunuiɛ? Anaa na mosusu sɛ mobɛhunu ɔbarima bi a wahyehyɛ sɛ ɔhene ba te ahemfie?
26 But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet.
Anaa Onyankopɔn odiyifoɔ? Ɛnneɛ, mereka makyerɛ mo sɛ, ɔsene odiyifoɔ.
27 This is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
Na saa Yohane yi na Atwerɛsɛm no ka fa ne ho sɛ, “‘Mɛsoma me ɔbɔfoɔ adi wʼanim ɛkan, ɔno na ɔbɛsiesie ɛkwan ama wo.’
28 For I say vnto you, there is no greater Prophet then Iohn, among them that are begotten of women: neuerthelesse, hee that is the least in the kingdome of God, is greater then he.
Meka kyerɛ mo sɛ onipa biara nni hɔ a wɔawo no a ɔyɛ kɛse sene Yohane. Nanso, deɛ ɔyɛ aketewa koraa wɔ Ɔsoro Ahennie mu no yɛ ɔkɛseɛ sene no!”
29 Then all the people that heard, and the Publicanes iustified God, being baptized with the baptisme of Iohn.
Na wɔn a wɔtee deɛ ɔkaeɛ no nyinaa a ɔtogyefoɔ mpo ka ho bi gye too mu sɛ, Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔteneneeni; na wɔsakyeraa wɔn adwene maa Yohane bɔɔ wɔn asu.
30 But the Pharises and the expounders of the Law despised the counsell of God against themselues, and were not baptized of him.
Na Farisifoɔ ne Mmaranimfoɔ no deɛ, wɔpoo Onyankopɔn asɛm enti, wɔamma Yohane ammɔ wɔn asu.
31 And the Lord saide, Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation? and what thing are they like vnto?
Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na menka mfa nnɛmmafoɔ yi ho; na ɛdeɛn ho na memfa wɔn ntoto?
32 They are like vnto litle children sitting in the market place, and crying one to another, and saying, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced: we haue mourned to you, and ye haue not wept.
Wɔte sɛ mmɔfra bi a wɔregoro wɔ agodibea na wɔn mu bi reka akyerɛ afoforɔ sɛ, “‘Yɛtoo anigyeɛ nnwom maa mo, nanso moansa; Yɛtoo awerɛhoɔ nnwom nso maa mo, nanso moansu.’
33 For Iohn Baptist came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine: and ye say, He hath the deuil.
Yohane Osubɔni aba a ɔnnidi na ɔnnom nsã, nso mose, ‘Ɔwɔ honhommɔne.’
34 The Sonne of man is come, and eateth and drinketh: and ye say, Beholde, a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of Publicanes and sinners:
Onipa Ba no nso aba a ɔdidi na ɔnom a mose, ‘Monhwɛ odidifoɔ ne ɔsanomfoɔ a ɔyɛ ɔtogyefoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ adamfo!’
35 But wisdome is iustified of all her children.
Nanso, wɔn a wɔdi Onyankopɔn akyi nokorɛ mu no deɛ, wɔn ɔbra di adanseɛ sɛ, nʼakwan nyinaa yɛ.”
36 And one of the Pharises desired him that hee would eate with him: and hee went into the Pharises house, and sate downe at table.
Farisini bi frɛɛ Yesu adidie ma ɔpenee so kɔeɛ.
37 And beholde, a woman in the citie, which was a sinner, when she knewe that Iesus sate at table in the Pharises house, shee brought a boxe of oyntment.
Ɔte hɔ redidi no, ɔbaa bi a ɔbu ɔbra bɔne wɔ kuro no mu tee ne nka no, ɔde aduhwam bi a ɛsom bo tumpan ma kɔɔ hɔ.
38 And shee stoode at his feete behinde him weeping, and began to wash his feete with teares, and did wipe them with the heares of her head, and kissed his feete, and anoynted them with the oyntment.
Ɔkotoo Yesu nan ase suiɛ, maa ne nisuo no fɔɔ Yesu nan ase. Afei, ɔde ne tirinwi pepaa nisuo no, sɔɔ ne nan de aduhwam no sraa ho.
39 Nowe when the Pharise which bade him, saw it, he spake within himselfe, saying, If this man were a Prophet, hee woulde surely haue knowen who, and what maner of woman this is which toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
Farisini a ɔfrɛɛ Yesu adidi no hunuu deɛ ɔbaa no yɛeɛ no, ɔkaa wɔ ne tirim sɛ, “Sɛ saa onipa yi yɛ odiyifoɔ ampa ara a, anka ɔbɛhunu sɛ saa ɔbaa yi bu ɔbra bɔne.”
40 And Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Simon, I haue somewhat to say vnto thee. And he said, Master, say on.
Yesu hunuu Farisini no adwene ma ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Simon, mewɔ asɛm bi ka kyerɛ wo.” Simon nso ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, ka ɛ.”
41 There was a certaine lender which had two detters: the one ought fiue hundreth pence, and the other fiftie:
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Osikani bi bɔɔ nnipa baanu bi bosea. Ɔmaa ɔbaako denare aha enum; ɛnna ɔbaako no nso ɔmaa no denare aduonum.
42 When they had nothing to pay, he forgaue them both: Which of them therefore, tell mee, will loue him most?
Wɔn mu biara antumi antua ne ka a ɔde no no enti, ɔde kyɛɛ wɔn. Wɔn mu hwan na wogye di sɛ ɔbɛpɛ osikani no asɛm yie?”
43 Simon answered, and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgaue most. And he said vnto him, Thou hast truely iudged.
Simon buaa sɛ, “Megye di sɛ deɛ ɔde ne ka kɛseɛ kyɛɛ no no.” Yesu kaa sɛ, “Woabua no yie.”
44 Then he turned to the woman, and said vnto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entred into thine house, and thou gauest mee no water to my feete: but she hath washed my feete with teares, and wiped them with the heares of her head.
Afei, Yesu danee nʼani kyerɛɛ ɔbaa no bisaa Simon sɛ, “Woahunu saa ɔbaa yi? Mebaa wo fie, woamma me nsuo anhohoro me nan ase; nanso saa ɔbaa yi de ne nisuo ahohoro me nan ase, asane de ne tirinwi apepa.
45 Thou gauest me no kisse: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kisse my feete.
Mebaeɛ yi, woanyɛ me atuu amfa amma me akwaaba; nanso ɛfiri ɛberɛ a ɔbaa yi bɛtoo me wɔ ha yi, ɔnnyaee me nan mu sɔ.
46 Mine head with oyle thou didest not anoint: but she hath anoynted my feete with oyntment.
Woamfa ngo amfɔ me tirim; nanso ɔbaa yi de aduhwam a ɛsom bo asra me nan ase.
47 Wherefore I say vnto thee, many sinnes are forgiuen her: for she loued much. To whom a litle is forgiuen, he doeth loue a litle.
Yei enti mereka akyerɛ wo sɛ, deɛ ɔbaa yi ayɛ enti, wɔde ne bɔne a ɛdɔɔso no akyɛ no, ɛfiri sɛ, wayi ɔdɔ kɛseɛ bi adi akyerɛ. Na deɛ wɔde ne bɔne a ɛsua akyɛ no no, ne dɔ nso sua.”
48 And he saide vnto her, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee.
Afei, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ɔbaa no sɛ, “Wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo.”
49 And they that sate at table with him, began to say within themselues, Who is this that euen forgiueth sinnes?
Wɔn a ɔne wɔn te adidiiɛ no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Hwan ne saa onipa yi a ɔtumi de bɔne kyɛ?”
50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saued thee: goe in peace.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ ɔbaa no sɛ, “Wo gyidie agye wo nkwa. Fa asomdwoeɛ kɔ.”
