Luke 17
1 Jesus said to His disciples, "It is inevitable that causes of stumbling should come; but alas for him through whom they come!
Ɛda bi Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛyɛ dɛn ara a sɔhwɛ a ɛde onipa kɔ bɔne mu no bɛba, nanso onipa a ɛnam ne so bɛba no, ɔnnue.
2 It would be well for him if, with a millstone round his neck, he were lying at the bottom of the sea, rather than that he should cause even one of these little ones to fall.
Ɛyɛ ma saa onipa no sɛ wɔde ɛboɔ a emu yɛ duru bi bɛsɛn ne kɔn mu ato no atwene ɛpo mu sene sɛ ɔbɛto nkumaa yi mu baako suntidua ama wayɛ bɔne.
3 Be on your guard. "If your brother acts wrongly, reprove him; and if he is sorry, forgive him;
Enti, monhwɛ mo ho so yie. “Sɛ wo nua fom wo a, ka nʼanim na sɛ ɔnu ne ho a, fa ne bɔne kyɛ no.
4 and if seven times in a day he acts wrongly towards you, and seven times turns again to you and says, 'I am sorry,' you must forgive him."
Sɛ nso ɔfom wo mprɛnson da koro na mpɛn dodoɔ a ɔfom wo no nyinaa, ɔde ahonu srɛ wo a, fa kyɛ no.”
5 And the Apostles said to the Lord, "Give us faith."
Ɛda bi, asomafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, hyɛ yɛn gyidie mu den.”
6 "If your faith," replied the Lord, "is like a mustard seed, you might command this black-mulberry-tree, 'Tear up your roots and plant yourself in the sea,' and instantly it would obey you.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ mowɔ gyidie te sɛ onyina aba a, anka mobɛtumi aka akyerɛ akyee yi sɛ, ‘Tutu kɔgu ɛpo mu,’ na ɛbɛba mu saa.
7 But which of you who has a servant ploughing, or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the farm, 'Come at once and take your place at table,'
“Mo mu hwan na ɔwɔ ɔsomfoɔ a ɔyɛ nʼafuom adwuma anaasɛ ɔhwɛ ne mmoa na ɔfiri afuom ba a, ɔbɛka akyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Wʼaduane si hɔ na kɔdidi?’
8 and will not rather say to him, 'Get my dinner ready, make yourself tidy, and wait upon me till I have finished my dinner, and then you shall have yours'?
Na mmom ɔrenka nkyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Noa aduane ma me na sɛ modidi wie a, wo nso woakɔdidi?’
9 Does he thank the servant for obeying his orders?
Sɛ ɔsomfoɔ yi yɛ nʼasɛdeɛ yi a, ne wura no bɛda no ase anaa?
10 So you also, when you have obeyed all the orders given you, must say, "'There is no merit in our service: what we have done is only what we were in duty bound to do.'"
Saa ara nso na sɛ mo nso moyɛ mo asɛdeɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ moka sɛ, ‘Yɛyɛ asomfoɔ a ayɛyie mfata yɛn, yɛn asɛdeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ na yɛayɛ no.’”
11 As they pursued their journey to Jerusalem, He passed through Samaria and Galilee.
Ɛberɛ bi a Yesu rekɔ Yerusalem no, ɔfaa Samaria ne Galilea hyeɛ so.
12 And as He entered a certain village, ten men met Him who were lepers and stood at a distance.
Ɔrebɛn akuraa bi ase no, akwatafoɔ edu bi a na wɔgyinagyina kurotia no hunuu no
13 In loud voices they cried out, "Jesus, Rabbi, take pity on us."
teateaam sɛ, “Yesu, yɛn wura, hunu yɛn mmɔbɔ.”
14 Perceiving this, He said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the Priests." And while on their way to do this they were made clean.
Yesu hunuu wɔn no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momfa mo ho nkɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfoɔ!” Ɛberɛ a akwatafoɔ no rekɔ no, wɔn ho yɛɛ wɔn den.
15 One of them, seeing that he was cured, came back, adoring and praising God in a loud voice,
Wɔn mu baako hunuu sɛ ne ho ayɛ no den no, ɔsanee nʼakyi de ahurisie yii Onyankopɔn ayɛ sɛ, “Animuonyam nka Onyankopɔn, wama me ho ayɛ me den!”
16 and he threw himself at the feet of Jesus, thanking Him. He was a Samaritan.
Ɔbɛkotoo Yesu anim daa no ase. Na saa ɔbarima yi yɛ Samariani.
17 "Were not all ten made clean?" Jesus asked; "but where are the nine?
Yesu bisaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ nnipa edu na wɔn ho yɛɛ wɔn den? Baakron a wɔaka no wɔ he?
18 Have none been found to come back and give glory to God except this foreigner?"
Adɛn enti na ɔmamfrani yi nko na wasane aba sɛ ɔrebɛyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ?”
19 And He said to him, "Rise and go: your faith has cured you."
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɔre kɔ, wo gyidie ama wo ho ayɛ wo den.”
20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God was coming, He answered, "The Kingdom of God does not so come that you can stealthily watch for it.
Ɛda bi Farisifoɔ bi bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Ɛberɛ bɛn na Onyankopɔn Ahennie no bɛba?” Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Onyankopɔn Ahennie no nnam nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi a mobɛhunu so na ɛbɛba,
21 Nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' --for the Kingdom of God is within you."
na obi rentumi nkyerɛ mo sɛ, ‘Ɛwɔ ha anaa ɛhɔ!’ Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn Ahennie no te mo mu.”
22 Then, turning to His disciples, He said, "There will come a time when you will wish you could see a single one of the days of the Son of Man, but will not see one.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Mmerɛ bi bɛba a mo ani bɛgyina sɛ mobɛhunu Onipa Ba no wɔ mo nkyɛn, nanso morenhunu no.
23 And they will say to you, 'See there!' 'See here!' Do not start off and go in pursuit.
Sɛ nnipa ka kyerɛ mo sɛ mewɔ ha anaa baabi foforɔ a, monnni wɔn akyi.
24 For just as the lightning, when it flashes, shines from one part of the horizon to the opposite part, so will the Son of Man be on His day.
Sɛdeɛ anyinam pa ogya wɔ ewiem ma nnipa nyinaa hunu no, saa ara nso na Onipa Ba no ba a ɔbɛsane aba no bɛyɛ.
25 But first He must endure much suffering, and be rejected by the present generation.
Nanso, ansa na yeinom nyinaa bɛba mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ mehunu amane na me nkurɔfoɔ nso po me.
26 "And as it was in the time of Noah, so will it also be in the time of the Son of Man.
“Sɛdeɛ Noa ɛberɛ so nnipa yɛɛ asoɔden no, saa ara nso na sɛ Onipa Ba no ba a, ɛbɛyɛ no no.
27 Men were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving wives, up to the very day on which Noah entered the Ark, and the Deluge came and destroyed them all.
Saa ɛberɛ no, nnipa didi nomee, warewaree kɔsii sɛ Noa kɔhyɛɛ ɛhyɛn no mu na nsuyire bɛfaa saa nnipa no nyinaa.
28 The same was true in the time of Lot: they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building;
“Saa ara nso na Lot berɛ so no, na ɛte. Nnipa didi nomee, dii dwa, yɛɛ mfuo, sisii adan,
29 but on the day that Lot left Sodom, God rained fire and brimstone from the sky and destroyed them all.
kɔsii sɛ Lot firii Sodom na ogya ne sɔfe firi ɔsoro bɛhyee saa nnipa no nyinaa.
30 Exactly so will it be on the day that the veil is lifted from the Son of Man.
“Saa ara nso na da a Onipa Ba no bɛsane aba no, ɛbɛyɛ.
31 "On that day, if a man is on the roof and his property indoors, let him not go down to fetch it; and, in the same way, he who is in the field, let him not turn back.
Saa ɛda no, ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara a ɔwɔ adwuma mu, afuo mu anaa edwa so sane nʼakyi ba efie sɛ ɔrebɛsesa nʼahodeɛ.
32 Remember Lot's wife.
Monkae asɛm a ɛtoo Lot yere.
33 Any man who makes it his object to keep his own life safe, will lose it; but whoever loses his life will preserve it.
Obiara a ɔdɔ ne ɔkra no, ɛbɛfiri ne nsa. Na deɛ ɔbɛhwere ne ɔkra no, bɛnya.
34 On that night, I tell you, there will be two men in one bed: one will be taken away and the other left behind.
Ɛda no, wɔbɛfa nnipa baanu a wɔda faako no mu baako agya ɔbaako.
35 There will be two women turning the mill together: one will be taken away and the other left behind."
Saa ara nso na wɔbɛfa mmaa baanu a wɔrenoa aduane no mu baako agya ɔbaako.
Mmarima baanu a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ afuom no nso, wɔbɛfa ɔbaako agya ɔbaako.”
37 "Where, Master?" they inquired. "Where the dead body is," He replied, "there also will the vultures flock together."
Asuafoɔ no bisaa Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, ɛhe na wɔde wɔn bɛkɔ?” Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Baabi a efunu wɔ no, apete mpa hɔ!”
