Luke 17
1 Then Jesus said to the disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to the one through whom they come!
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Ɛyɛ dɛn ara a hintinnua no bɛba, nanso obiara a ebi bɛfa ne so aba no nnue.
2 It would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
Eye ma saa onipa no sɛ wɔde ɔbo a mu yɛ duru bi bɛsen ne kɔn mu atow no akyene po mu sen sɛ ɔbɛto nkumaa yi mu baako hintidua.
3 Watch yourselves. If yoʋr brother sins against yoʋ, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.
Enti monhwɛ mo ho so yiye. “Sɛ wo nua fom wo a, ka nʼanim na sɛ onu ne ho a, fa ne bɔne kyɛ no.
4 Even if he sins against yoʋ seven times in a day, and seven times in that day he comes back and says, ‘I repent,’ yoʋ must forgive him.”
Sɛ nso ɔfom wo mpɛn ason da koro na mpɛn dodow a ɔfom wo no nyinaa, ɔde ahonu srɛ wo a fa kyɛ no.”
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”
Asomafo no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Awurade, to yɛn gyidi so.”
6 The Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Sɛ mowɔ gyidi te sɛ onyaa aba a, anka mubetumi aka akyerɛ ankye yi se, ‘Tutu kogu po mu,’ na ɛbɛba mu saa.
7 “Suppose one of you has a servant plowing the field or tending the sheep. As soon as he comes in from the field would you say, ‘Come and recline at the table’?
“Mo mu hena na ɔwɔ ɔsomfo a ɔyɛ nʼafuw mu adwuma anaasɛ ɔhwɛ ne mmoa na ofi afum ba a, ɔbɛka akyerɛ no se, ‘Wʼaduan si hɔ na kodidi?’
8 Instead, would yoʋ not say to him, ‘Prepare my supper. Put on yoʋr apron and serve me while I eat and drink; after that yoʋ may eat and drink’?
Na mmom ɔrenka nkyerɛ no se, ‘Noa aduan ma me na sɛ mididi wie a, wo nso woakodidi?’
9 Do yoʋ thank that servant because he did what he was commanded? I think not.
Sɛ ɔsomfo yi yɛ nʼasɛde yi a ne wura no bɛda no ase ana?
10 So you also, when you have done everything you were commanded to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what we were obligated to do.’”
Saa ara nso na sɛ mo nso moyɛ mo asɛde a, ɛsɛ sɛ moka se, ‘Yɛyɛ asomfo a ayeyi mfata yɛn; yɛn asɛde a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ na yɛayɛ no.’”
11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border of Samaria and Galilee.
Bere bi a Yesu rekɔ Yerusalem no, ɔfaa Samaria ne Galilea hye so.
12 As he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers who stood at a distance.
Ɔrebɛn akuraa bi ase no, akwatafo du bi a na wogyinagyina kurotia no huu no
13 They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Yesu, yɛn wura, hu yɛn mmɔbɔ!”
14 When he saw them, he said to them, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” As they went along, they were cleansed.
Yesu huu wɔn no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momfa mo ho nkɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo!” Bere a akwatafo no rekɔ no, wɔn ho yɛɛ wɔn den.
15 When one of them saw that he had been healed, he came back, glorifying God with a loud voice.
Wɔn mu baako huu sɛ ne ho ayɛ no den no, ɔsan nʼakyi de ahurusi yii Onyankopɔn ayɛ se, “Anuonyam nka Onyankopɔn, wama me ho ayɛ me den!”
16 He then fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. (Now he was a Samaritan.)
Ɔbɛkotow Yesu anim daa no ase. Na saa ɔbarima yi yɛ Samariani.
17 In response Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where then are the other nine?
Yesu bisae se, “Ɛnyɛ nnipa du na wɔn ho yɛɛ wɔn den? Baakron a wɔaka no wɔ he?
18 Were there none found who came back to give glory to God except this foreigner?”
Adɛn nti na ɔmamfrani yi nko na wasan aba sɛ ɔrebeyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ?”
19 Then he said to the man, “Rise and go on yoʋr way; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.”
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɔre kɔ, wo gyidi ama wo ho ayɛ wo den.”
20 At one point Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, so he answered them, “The kingdom of God does not come with observable signs,
Da bi Farisifo bi bisaa Yesu se, “Bere bɛn na Onyankopɔn ahenni no bɛba?” Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Onyankopɔn ahenni no nnam nsɛnkyerɛnne bi a mubehu so na ɛbɛba,
21 nor will people say, ‘Behold, here it is!’ or, ‘Behold, there it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”
obi rentumi nkyerɛ mo sɛ, ‘Ɛwɔ ha anaa hɔ!’ Efisɛ Onyankopɔn ahenni no te mo mu.”
22 Then he said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Mmere bi bɛba a mo ani begyina sɛ mubehu me bere tiaa bi wɔ mo nkyɛn, nanso morenhu me.
23 People will say to you, ‘Behold, here he is!’ or, ‘Behold, there he is!’ Do not go off with them or run after them,
Sɛ nnipa ka kyerɛ mo se Onipa Ba no wɔ ha anaa baabi foforo a, munnni wɔn akyi.
24 for just as lightning flashes from one part of the sky and shines to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
Sɛnea anyinam pa gya wɔ wim ma nnipa nyinaa hu no, saa ara nso na me ba a mɛsan aba no bɛyɛ.
25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
Nanso ansa na eyinom nyinaa bɛba mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ mihu amane na me nkurɔfo nso po me.
26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
“Sɛnea Noa bere so nnipa yɛɛ asoɔden no, saa ara nso na sɛ meba a ɛbɛyɛ ne no.
27 People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah went into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
Saa bere no, nnipa didi nomee, wareware kosii sɛ Noa kɔhyɛɛ hyɛn no mu na nsuyiri bɛfaa saa nnipa no nyinaa.
28 It will be the same as it was in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
“Saa ara nso na Lot bere so no, na ɛte. Nnipa didi nomee, dii gua, yɛɛ mfuw, sisii adan,
29 But on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
kosii sɛ Lot fii Sodom, na ogya ne sufre fii soro bɛhyew saa nnipa no nyinaa.
30 So will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
“Saa ara nso na da a mɛsan aba no bɛyɛ.
31 On that day, he who is on the housetop and whose goods are in the house must not come down to get them. Likewise, he who is in the field must not turn back.
Saa da no, ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara a ɔwɔ adwuma mu, afuw mu anaa gua so san nʼakyi ba fie sɛ ɔrebɛsesa nʼahode.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
Monkae asɛm a ɛtoo Lot yere.
33 Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
Obiara a ɔdɔ ne kra no, ebefi ne nsa. Na nea ɔbɛhwere ne kra no benya.
34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.
Da no, wɔbɛfa nnipa baanu a wɔda faako no mu baako agyaw ɔbaako.
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other will be left.”
Saa ara nso na wɔbɛfa mmea baanu a wɔrenoa aduan no mu baako agyaw ɔbaako.
Mmarima baanu a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ afuw mu no nso, wɔbɛfa ɔbaako agyaw ɔbaako.”
37 Then the disciples said to him in response, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the body is, there the vultures will be gathered together.”
Asuafo no bisaa Yesu se, “Awurade, ɛhe na wɔde wɔn bɛkɔ?” Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Baabi a funu wɔ no, apete mpa hɔ!”
