Luke 13
1 Just at that time people came to tell Him about the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu, nnipa bi bɛka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, Pilato akum Galileafoɔ bi a wɔrebɔ afɔdeɛ ama Onyankopɔn, de wɔn mogya fraa afɔrebɔ no.
2 "Do you suppose," He asked in reply, "that those Galilaeans were worse sinners than the mass of the Galilaeans, because this happened to them?
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Mogye di sɛ saa Galileafoɔ no yɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ sene wɔn a aka no nyinaa enti na wɔkumm wɔn no?
3 I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you are not penitent you will all perish as they did.
Dabi, sɛ mo nso moannu mo ho a, wɔbɛkunkum mo saa ara.
4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower at Siloam fell, do you suppose they had failed in their duty more than all the rest of the people who live in Jerusalem?
Anaasɛ mosusu sɛ nnipa dunwɔtwe a Siloa abantenten no bu guu wɔn so, kumm wɔn no yɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ sene nnipa a na wɔte Yerusalem no?
5 I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you do not repent you will all perish just as they did."
Dabi, mo nso moannu mo ho a, mobɛwuwu saa ara.”
6 And He gave them the following parable. "A man," He said, "who had a fig-tree growing in his garden came to look for fruit on it and could find none.
Afei, Yesu buu wɔn bɛ yi sɛ, “Ɔbarima bi duaa borɔdɔma wɔ ne turo mu. Ɛda bi ɔkɔɔ turo no mu hɔ sɛ ɔrekɔte ɛso aba no bi nanso wannya bi.
7 So he said to the gardener, "'See, this is the third year I have come to look for fruit on this fig-tree and cannot find any. Cut it down. Why should so much ground be actually wasted?'
Ɛno akyi, ɔfrɛɛ turo no sohwɛfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Mfeɛ mmiɛnsa ni, ɛberɛ biara a mɛba sɛ merebɛte borɔdɔma no bi no, mennya bi. Adɛn enti na ɛresɛe kwa yi? Twa twene.’
8 "But the gardener pleaded, "'Leave it, Sir, this year also, till I have dug round it and manured it.
“Turo no sohwɛfoɔ no srɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Me wura, ma ɛnsi hɔ afeɛ yi nso na mengugu aseɛ sumina nhwɛ
9 If after that it bears fruit, well and good; if it does not, then you shall cut it down.'"
sɛ ebia, ɛbɛso aba bi anaa, na sɛ antumi anso a, ɛnneɛ mɛtwa atwene.’”
10 Once He was teaching on the Sabbath in one of the synagogues
Homeda bi a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ hyiadan mu no,
11 where a woman was present who for eighteen years had been a confirmed invalid: she was bent double, and was unable to lift herself to her full height.
na ɔbaa bi wɔ hɔ a honhommɔne mu yadeɛ bi akyere no mfeɛ dunwɔtwe ama ne mu akoa a ɔntumi ntene ne mu koraa.
12 But Jesus saw her, and calling to her, He said to her, "Woman, you are free from your weakness."
Yesu hunuu no no, ɔfrɛɛ no firii nnipa no mu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔbaa, wo ho nyɛ wo den.”
13 And He put His hands on her, and she immediately stood upright and began to give glory to God.
Ɔde ne nsa guu ne so, na amonom hɔ ara ɔtumi tenee ne mu. Na ɔbaa no yii Onyankopɔn ayɛ.
14 Then the Warden of the Synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured her on a Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days in the week on which people ought to work. On those days therefore come and get yourselves cured, and not on the Sabbath day."
Hyiadan no so panin a ɔhunuu ɔbaa no ayaresa no de abufuo kaa sɛ, “Nnansia na ɛsɛ sɛ mode yɛ adwuma a saa nna no mu na ɛsɛ sɛ moba ma wɔsa mo yadeɛ, na ɛnyɛ homeda.”
15 But the Lord's reply to him was, "Hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his bullock or his ass from the stall and lead him to water?
Na Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Nyaatwomfoɔ! Mo mu hwan na ɔnsane ne nantwie anaa nʼafunumu na ɔnka no nkɔnom nsuo homeda?
16 And this woman, daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan had bound for no less than eighteen years, was she not to be loosed from this chain because it is the Sabbath day?"
Adɛn enti na Abraham aseni yi a ɔbonsam afa no dommum mfeɛ dunwɔtwe ni no, ɛnsɛ sɛ mesa no yadeɛ homeda?”
17 When He had said this, all His opponents were ashamed, while the whole multitude was delighted at the many glorious things continually done by Him.
Ɔkaa saa no, wɔn a na wɔne nʼadwene nhyia no nyinaa ani wuiɛ. Nnipa no nso a na wɔwɔ hyiadan no mu nyinaa ani gyee nʼanwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ a ɔyɛeɛ no nyinaa ho.
18 This prompted Him to say, "What is the Kingdom of God like? and to what shall I compare it?
Afei, Yesu hyɛɛ aseɛ kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn Ahennie no ho asɛm, na ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Onyankopɔn Ahennie no te sɛn? Na ɛdeɛn na memfa nto ho nkyerɛkyerɛ aseɛ?
19 It is like a mustard seed which a man drops into the soil in his garden, and it grows and becomes a tree in whose branches the birds roost."
Onyankopɔn Ahennie no te sɛ onyina aba ketewa bi a obi dua wɔ nʼafuo mu na ɛnyini yɛɛ dutan kɛseɛ ma ewiem nnomaa kɔnwono wɔn mpirebuo wɔ so.”
20 And again He said, "To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
Ɔbisaa bio sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn bio na memfa ntoto ho nkyerɛ aseɛ?
21 It is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, to work there till the whole is leavened."
Ɛte sɛ mmɔreka bi a burodotofoɔ de fotɔ mmɔre ma ɛtu.”
22 He was passing through town after town and village after village, steadily proceeding towards Jerusalem,
Ɛberɛ a Yesu rekɔ Yerusalem no, ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ nkuro so ne nkuraa ase ansa na ɔreduru hɔ.
23 when some one asked Him, "Sir, are there but few who are to be saved?"
Ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no mu no, obi bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, nnipa kakra bi na wɔbɛgye wɔn nkwa anaa?” Ɔbuaa no sɛ,
24 "Strain every nerve to force your way in through the narrow gate," He answered; "for multitudes, I tell you, will endeavour to find a way in and will not succeed.
“Mompere nhyɛne ɛpono teateaa no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, nnipa pii bɛpere sɛ wɔbɛwura mu, nanso wɔrentumi.
25 As soon as the Master of the house shall have risen and shut the door, and you have begun to stand outside and knock at the door and say, "'Sir, open the door for us' --"'I do not know you,' He answers; 'you are no friends of mine.'
Sɛ ɛba sɛ efiewura no ato ɛpono no mu a, mobɛba abɛgyina akyire abɔ mu, aka sɛ, ‘Owura, yɛsrɛ wo, bue yɛn.’ “Na ɔno nso abisa mo sɛ, ‘Mofiri he? Mennim mo?’
26 "Then you will plead, "'We have eaten and drunk in your company and you have taught in our streets.'
“Na mo nso moaka akyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Yɛne wo too nsa didii na wokyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ yɛn mmorɔno so.’
27 "But He will reply, "'I tell you that you are no friends of mine. Begone from me, all of you, wrongdoers that you are.'
“Na efiewura no nso bɛbisa mo bio sɛ, ‘Mofiri he? Mennim mo. Momfiri mʼani so nkɔ, mo nnebɔneyɛfoɔ!’
28 "There will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being driven far away.
“Na sɛ mohunu Abraham, Isak, Yakob ne nkɔmhyɛfoɔ no nyinaa sɛ wɔwɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu na montumi nkɔ hɔ bi a, mode mo nsa bɛgu mo ti atwa agyaadwoɔ.
29 They will come from east and west, from north and south, and will sit down at the banquet in the Kingdom of God.
Nnipa firi apueeɛ ne atɔeɛ bɛhyia wɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu ato nsa adidi.
30 And I tell you that some now last will then be first, and some now first will then be last."
Na monkae sɛ akyikafoɔ bi wɔ hɔ a, wɔbɛdi ɛkan, na adikanfoɔ bi nso wɔ hɔ a, wɔbɛka akyi.”
31 Just at that time there came some Pharisees who warned Him, saying, "Leave this place and continue your journey; Herod means to kill you."
Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu Farisifoɔ bi baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Firi ha kɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Herode rehwehwɛ wo akum wo.”
32 "Go," He replied, "and take this message to that fox: "'See, to-day and to-morrow I am driving out demons and effecting cures, and on the third day I finish my course.'
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔka nkyerɛ sakraman no sɛ, ‘metu ahonhommɔne, na masa nyarewa ɛnnɛ ne ɔkyena na ne nnansa so no, mɛduru Yerusalem.’
33 "Yet I must continue my journey to-day and to-morrow and the day following; for it is not conceivable that a Prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.
Nanso, ɛsɛ sɛ menante ɛnnɛ ne ɔkyena ne nʼadekyeeɛ, na ɛtwa ara na ɛtwa sɛ odiyifoɔ bɛwu wɔ Yerusalem!
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou who murderest the Prophets and stonest those who have been sent to thee, how often have I desired to gather thy children just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
“Yerusalem, Yerusalem, wo a wokum adiyifoɔ na wosi wɔn a wɔsoma wɔn wo nkyɛn no aboɔ! Mpɛn ahe ni a mepɛɛ sɛ meboaboa wo mma ano sɛ akokɔbaatan boaboa ne mma ano ne ntaban ase, nanso moampene so.
35 See, your house is left to you. But I tell you that you will never see me again until you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
Na mo afie bɛdane afituo na morenhunu me kɔsi sɛ mobɛka sɛ, ‘Nhyira ne deɛ ɔnam Awurade din mu reba no!’”
