Luke 13
1 Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed 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 Yeshua answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
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, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
Dabi, sɛ mo nso moannu mo ho a, wɔbɛkunkum mo saa ara.
4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell 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, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
Dabi, mo nso moannu mo ho a, mobɛwuwu saa ara.”
6 He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found 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 He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down! Why does it waste the soil?’
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 He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilise it.
“Turo no sohwɛfoɔ no srɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Me wura, ma ɛnsi hɔ afeɛ yi nso na mengugu aseɛ sumina nhwɛ
9 If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”
sɛ ebia, ɛbɛso aba bi anaa, na sɛ antumi anso a, ɛnneɛ mɛtwa atwene.’”
10 He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
Homeda bi a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ hyiadan mu no,
11 Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over and could in no way straighten herself up.
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 When Yeshua saw her, he called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
Yesu hunuu no no, ɔfrɛɛ no firii nnipa no mu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔbaa, wo ho nyɛ wo den.”
13 He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and glorified God.
Ɔde ne nsa guu ne so, na amonom hɔ ara ɔtumi tenee ne mu. Na ɔbaa no yii Onyankopɔn ayɛ.
14 The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Yeshua had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, 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 Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to water?
Na Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Nyaatwomfoɔ! Mo mu hwan na ɔnsane ne nantwie anaa nʼafunumu na ɔnka no nkɔnom nsuo homeda?
16 Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on 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 As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were 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 He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? 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 grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”
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 Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?
Ɔbisaa bio sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn bio na memfa ntoto ho nkyerɛ aseɛ?
21 It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
Ɛte sɛ mmɔreka bi a burodotofoɔ de fotɔ mmɔre ma ɛtu.”
22 He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and travelling on to Jerusalem.
Ɛberɛ a Yesu rekɔ Yerusalem no, ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ nkuro so ne nkuraa ase ansa na ɔreduru hɔ.
23 One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” He said to them,
Ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no mu no, obi bisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, nnipa kakra bi na wɔbɛgye wɔn nkwa anaa?” Ɔbuaa no sɛ,
24 “Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.
“Mompere nhyɛne ɛpono teateaa no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, nnipa pii bɛpere sɛ wɔbɛwura mu, nanso wɔrentumi.
25 When once the master of the house has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
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 begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
“Na mo nso moaka akyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Yɛne wo too nsa didii na wokyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ yɛn mmorɔno so.’
27 He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’
“Na efiewura no nso bɛbisa mo bio sɛ, ‘Mofiri he? Mennim mo. Momfiri mʼani so nkɔ, mo nnebɔneyɛfoɔ!’
28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.
“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 the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.
Nnipa firi apueeɛ ne atɔeɛ bɛhyia wɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no mu ato nsa adidi.
30 Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”
Na monkae sɛ akyikafoɔ bi wɔ hɔ a, wɔbɛdi ɛkan, na adikanfoɔ bi nso wɔ hɔ a, wɔbɛka akyi.”
31 On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, “Get out of here and go away, for Herod wants 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 He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
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 Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.’
Nanso, ɛsɛ sɛ menante ɛnnɛ ne ɔkyena ne nʼadekyeeɛ, na ɛtwa ara na ɛtwa sɛ odiyifoɔ bɛwu wɔ Yerusalem!
34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!
“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 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me 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!’”
