Luke 14
1 And it chaunsed that he went into the housse of one of ye chefe pharises to eate breed on a saboth daye: and they watched him.
Homeda bi, Farisini panin bi too nsa frɛɛ Yesu adidi. Adidie no ase hɔ no, na wɔn a wɔahyia no nyinaa rehwɛ deɛ Yesu bɛyɛ.
2 And beholde ther was a man before him which had the dropsye.
Na ɔbarima bi wɔ hɔ a ɔyare ahonhono.
3 And Iesus answered and spake vnto the lawears and pharises sayinge: is it laufull to heale on the saboth daye?
Yesu bisaa Farisifoɔ no ne mmaranimfoɔ a na wɔwɔ hɔ no sɛ, “Mmara ma ho kwan sɛ wɔsa yadeɛ homeda anaa?”
4 And they helde their peace. And he toke him and healed him and let him goo:
Wɔammua no. Enti, Yesu sɔɔ ɔyarefoɔ no mu saa no yadeɛ, gyaa no kwan.
5 and answered the sayinge whiche of you shall have an asse or an oxe fallen into a pitt and will not strayght waye pull him out on the Saboth daye?
Yesu bisaa wɔn a wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa sɛ, “Mo mu hwan na sɛ nʼafunumu tɔ abura mu homeda a ɔrenyi no da no ara?”
6 And they coulde not answer him agayne to that.
Nanso, wɔantumi ammua no.
7 He put forthe a similitude to ye gestes whe he marked how they preased to the hyest roumes and sayd vnto the:
Afei, Yesu hunuu sɛ, nnipa a wɔfrɛɛ wɔn adidi no ase no mu biara pɛɛ sɛ ɔtena mpanin tenabea no, ɔbuu wɔn bɛ bi sɛ,
8 When thou arte bidde to a weddynge of eny man syt not doune in ye hyest roume lest a more honorable man then thou be bidden of him
“Sɛ obi to nsa frɛ wo apontoɔ ase a, mpere wo ho nkɔtena mpanin tenabea, ɛfiri sɛ, ebia na wato nsa afrɛ onipa titire bi a ɔsene wo.
9 and he that bade bothe him and the come and saye to the: geve this man roume and thou then beginne with shame to take the lowest roume.
Sɛ ɛba saa a, deɛ ɔtoo nsa frɛɛ wo no bɛtu wo afiri akonnwa a wote so no so de ama deɛ ɔsene wo no na wode aniwuo akɔtena akyire baabi.
10 But rather when thou arte bidden goo and syt in the lowest roume that when he that bade the cometh he maye saye vnto the: frende syt vp hyer. Then shalt thou have worshippe in the presence of them that syt at meate with the.
Enti, sɛ obi hyia wo apontoɔ ase a, kɔtena akyire baabi na sɛ deɛ ɔhyiaa wo no bɛhunu wo a, waka akyerɛ wo sɛ, ‘Onua, sɔre na kɔtena mpanin tenabea.’
11 For whosoever exalteth him sylfe shalbe brought lowe. And he yt hubleth him sylfe shalbe exalted
Na obiara a ɔma ne ho so no, wɔbɛbrɛ no ase, na deɛ ɔbrɛ ne ho ase no, wɔbɛma no so.”
12 Then sayde he also to him that had desyred him to diner: When thou makest a diner or a supper: call not thy frendes nor thy brethre nether thy kinsmen nor yet ryche neghbours: lest they bidde the agayne and a recompence be made the.
Afei, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Farisini a ɔtoo nsa frɛɛ no no sɛ, “Sɛ woto ɛpono a mfrɛ wo nnamfo, wo nuanom, wʼabusuafoɔ ne asikafoɔ a wo ne wɔn bɔ fipam nko ara; sɛ woyɛ saa a, wɔn nso bɛto nsa afrɛ wo bi na ɛba saa a, na wonyɛɛ hwee.
13 But when thou makest afeast call the poore the maymed the lame and the blynde
Na sɛ woto ɛpono a, hyia ahiafoɔ, mmubuafoɔ, mpakye ne anifirafoɔ.
14 and thou shalt be happy for they cannot recompence the. But thou shalt be recompensed at the resurreccion of the iuste men.
Esiane sɛ wɔntumi nyɛ saa bi mma wo no enti, ɛda a ateneneefoɔ bɛsɔre afiri awufoɔ mu no, Onyankopɔn bɛhyira wo.”
15 When one of them that sate at meate also hearde that he sayde vnto him: happy is he that eateth breed in the kyngdome of God.
Wɔn a wɔte adidiiɛ no mu baako tee deɛ Yesu kaeɛ no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Nhyira nka deɛ ɔbɛdidi wɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu.”
16 Then sayd he to him. A certayne man ordened a greate supper and bade many
Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Ɛda bi ɔbarima bi too ɛpono kɛseɛ hyiaa nnipa bebree.
17 and sent his servaunt at supper tyme to saye to them that wer bidden come: for all thinges are now redy.
Adidi berɛ duruiɛ no, ɔsomaa ne ɔsomfoɔ bi sɛ ɔnkɔfrɛ wɔn a wɔahyia wɔn no sɛ wɔmmra.
18 And they all atonce begane to make excuse. The fyrst sayd vnto him: I have bought a ferme and I must nedes goo and se it I praye the have me excused.
“Nanso, wɔn nyinaa yiyii wɔn ho wɔn ho ano. Deɛ ɔdi ɛkan no yii ne ho ano sɛ, ‘Matɔ asase a ɛnnɛ na ɛsɛ sɛ mekɔhwɛ enti mesrɛ no sɛ merentumi mma.’
19 And another sayd: I hove bought fyve yooke of oxen and I goo to prove them I praye the have me excused.
“Na ɔfoforɔ nso yii ne ho ano sɛ, ‘Matɔ anantwie edu a mede wɔn bɛyɛ mʼafuo a ɛnnɛ na ɛsɛ sɛ mekɔsɔ wɔn hwɛ enti mesrɛ no sɛ merentumi mma.’
20 The thyrde sayd: I have maried a wyfe and therfore I cannot come.
“Ɔfoforɔ bi nso yii ne ho ano sɛ, ‘Afei na maware, enti merentumi mma.’
21 And the servaunt went and brought his master worde therof. Then was the good man of the housse displeased and sayd to his servaut: Goo out quickly into ye stretes and quarters of the cite and bringe in hidder the poore and the maymed and the halt and the blynde.
“Ɔsomfoɔ no sane bɛbɔɔ ne wura no amaneɛ no, ɔde abufuo somaa no bio sɛ, ‘Ka wo ho kɔ mmɔntene so ne mmantam na kɔfrɛfrɛ ahiafoɔ, mmubuafoɔ, anifirafoɔ ne mpakye sɛ wɔmmra.’
22 And the servaut sayd: lorde it is done as thou comaundedst and yet ther is roume.
“Ɔsomfoɔ no kɔfrɛfrɛɛ nnipa no baeɛ, nanso na afa da so wɔ hɔ ara.
23 And the lorde sayd to the servaunt: Go out into ye hye wayes and hedges and compell the to come in that my housse maye be filled.
“Ɛno enti, owura no sane somaa no sɛ, ‘Kɔ akwan so ne mfikyire na frɛ obiara a wobɛhunu no no sɛ, mato ɛpono, enti wɔmmra.
24 For I saye vnto you that none of those men which were bidde shall tast of my supper.
Na merema woate aseɛ sɛ, nnipa a metoo nsa hyiaa wɔn no mu biara nni hɔ a mʼaduane yi bi bɛka nʼano da biara da.’”
25 Ther went agreate copany with him and he turned and sayde vnto them:
Ɛda bi a na nkurɔfoɔ akuakuo bi di Yesu akyi no, ɔdanee ne ho ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
26 If a man come to me and hate not his father and mother and wyfe and chyldren and brethren and sisters more over and his awne lyfe he cannot be my disciple.
“Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔdi mʼakyi a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdɔ me sene nʼawofoɔ, ne yere, ne mma, ne nuanom ne nʼankasa ho, anyɛ saa a, ɔrentumi nyɛ me suani.
27 And whosoever beare not his crosse and come after me cannot be my disciple.
Obiara a ɔdi mʼakyi na ɔntumi nnyina amanehunu ano no, rentumi nyɛ me suani.
28 Which of you disposed to bilde a toure sytteth not doune before and counteth ye cost whether he have sufficient to performe it?
“Mo mu hwan na ɔpɛ sɛ ɔsi aban a ɔrentena ase nsese nhwɛ sɛ ɔwɔ sika a ɔde bɛwie?
29 lest after he hath layde ye foundacion and is not able to performe it all yt beholde it beginne to mocke him
Anyɛ saa na ɔhyɛ ɛdan no ase na wantumi anwie a, wɔn a wɔhunu no nyinaa bɛsere no,
30 sayinge: this man beganne to bilde and was not able to make an ende.
aka sɛ, ‘Onipa yi hyɛɛ aseɛ sɛ ɔresi ɛdan, nanso wantumi anwie’.
31 Or what kynge goeth to make batayle agaynst another kinge and sitteth not doune fyrst and casteth in his mynde whether he be able wt ten thousande to mete him that cometh agaynst him wt. xx thousand.
“Anaasɛ ɔhene bɛn na ɔkura asraafoɔ ɔpedu na ɔrekɔhyia ɔsahene foforɔ a ɔkura asraafoɔ ɔpeduonu a, ɔrenkari ne ho nhwɛ ansa na wakɔ akono?
32 Or els whyll ye other is yet a greate waye of he will sende embasseatours and desyre peace.
Na sɛ ɔhwɛ na ɔrentumi nso a, ansa koraa na ɔsahene foforɔ no bɛbɛn no no, ɔtu abɔfoɔ kɔhunu no sɛ, ɔmma wɔnsiesie wɔn ntam na asomdwoeɛ mmra.
33 So lykewyse none of you yt forsaketh not all yt he hath can be my disciple.
Ɛno enti, obiara a wampa ne ho akyi no rentumi nyɛ me suani.
34 Salt is good but yf salt have loste hyr saltnes what shall be seasoned ther with?
“Nkyene yɛ dɛ. Na sɛ ɛyera ne dɛ a, ɛkwan bɛn so na wɔbɛfa ama ayɛ dɛ bio?
35 It is nether good for ye londe nor yet for ye donge hill but men cast it out at ye dores. He yt hath eares to heare let him heare.
Ɛho nni mfasoɔ mma biribiara. Wɔbɛto agu. “Deɛ ɔwɔ aso a ɔbɛtie no, ɔntie.”
