Luka 10
1 Eyi akyi no, Yesu yii nʼakyidifo no mu aduɔson somaa wɔn baanu baanu kɔɔ nkurow ne nkuraa a akyiri no ɔbɛkɔ hɔ no so.
Now after these things, the Lord made selection of seventy others and sent them before him, two together, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.
2 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Otwa adwuma no dɔɔso, nanso adwumayɛfo no sua. Enti monsrɛ adwumawura no na ɔmma adwumayɛfo bebree mmra ne twa adwuma no mu.
And he said to them, There is much grain ready to be cut, but not enough workers: so make prayer to the Lord of the grain-fields that he will send workers to get in the grain.
3 Monkɔ, na meresoma mo sɛ nguan akɔ mpataku mu.
Go on your way: see, I send you out like lambs among wolves.
4 Mommfa sika, akwantu kotoku anaa mpaboa; na munnkyia obiara nso a mubehyia no wɔ ɔkwan so.
Take no bag for money or for food, and no shoes; say no word to any man on the way.
5 “Sɛ mokɔ ofi biara mu a, munni kan nkyia ofie hɔfo no se, ‘Asomdwoe nka mo!’
And whenever you go into a house, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 Na sɛ asomdwoe ba bi wɔ hɔ a, mo asomdwoe bɛba ne so; na sɛ obi a ɔte saa nni hɔ a, mo asomdwoe bɛsan aba mo nkyɛn.
And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again.
7 Ofi biara a mokɔ mu no, momma hɔ nyɛ mo atenae; aduan biara a wɔde bɛma mo no, munni efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ odwumayɛni biara nya nʼadwumayɛ so akatua; munnni atutena wɔ afi mu.
And keep in that same house, taking what food and drink they give you: for the worker has a right to his reward. Do not go from house to house.
8 “Na sɛ mokɔ kurow biara mu na wogye mo fɛw so a, aduan biara a wɔde bɛma mo no munni.
And into whatever town you go, if they take you in, take whatever food is given to you:
9 Monsa kurow no mu ayarefo yare, na monka nkyerɛ ɛhɔfo nyinaa se, ‘Onyankopɔn ahenni no abɛn mo.’
And make well those in it who are ill and say to them, The kingdom of God is near to you.
10 Nanso sɛ mokɔ kurow biara mu na wɔannye mo fɛw so a monkɔ ne mmɔnten so nkɔpae mu nka se,
But if you go into a town where they will not have you, go out into the streets of it and say,
11 ‘Mo kurom ha mfutuma a ɛwɔ yɛn nan ase mpo, yɛreporoporow agu, de atia mo; na mmom munhu pefee sɛ, Onyankopɔn ahenni no abɛn.’
Even the dust of your town, which is on our feet, we put off as a witness against you; but be certain of this, that the kingdom of God is near.
12 Mereka akyerɛ mo se, saa kurow no, asɛm a ɛbɛto wɔn atemmuda no bɛsen nea ɛtoo Sodom no.
I say to you, It will be better in that day for Sodom than for that town.
13 “Korasin, due! Betsaida, due! Anwonwade a meyɛɛ wɔ mo mu no, sɛ meyɛɛ wɔ Tiro ne Sidon a, anka ɛhɔfo no de awerɛhow ne ahonu asakra wɔn adwene dedaw.
A curse is on you, Chorazin! A curse is on you, Beth-saida! For if such works of power had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done in you, they would have been turned from their sins, in days gone by, seated in the dust.
14 Atemmuda no, asɛm a ɛbɛto wɔn no bɛsen nea ɛbɛto Tiro ne Sidon.
But it will be better for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judging, than for you.
And you, Capernaum, were you not lifted up to heaven? you will go down to hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 “Obiara a otie mo no tie me, na nea ɔpo mo no po me, na nea ɔpo me no nso po nea ɔsomaa me no.”
Whoever gives ear to you, gives ear to me; and whoever is against you, is against me; and whoever is against me, is against him who sent me.
17 Aduɔson no san de anigye ba bɛbɔɔ amanneɛ se, “Awurade, wo din nti ahonhommɔne mpo abrɛ wɔn ho ase ama yɛn.”
And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name.
18 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mihuu sɛ ɔbonsam retew afi ɔsoro sɛ anyinam abɛhwe fam.
And he said, I was watching for Satan, falling from heaven like a star.
19 Mama mo tumi ne ahoɔden a mode betiatia awɔ ne nkekantwɛre ne ɔtamfo no tumi biara a ɔwɔ so na biribiara nso rentumi mo.
See, I have given you power to put your feet on snakes and evil beasts, and over all the strength of him who is against you: and nothing will do you damage.
20 Nanso mommma mo ani nnye sɛ ahonhommɔne brɛ wɔn ho ase ma mo, na mmom, momma mo ani nnye sɛ wɔakyerɛw mo din wɔ ɔsoro.”
Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.
21 Saa bere no ara mu na Yesu de Honhom Kronkron mu anigye bɔɔ mpae se, “Agya, ɔsoro ne asase wura, meda wo ase sɛ wode saa nneɛma yi ahintaw wɔn a wosusuw sɛ wɔyɛ anyansafo, na mmom woada nokware no adi akyerɛ wɔn a wɔde ahobrɛase gye wo di sɛ mmofra no. Nanso Agya, wo pɛ mu na woma ɛbaa saa.
In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes.
22 “Mʼagya de nneɛma nyinaa ahyɛ me nsa; na obiara nnim Ɔba no, gye Agya no. Saa ara nso na obiara nnim Agya no, gye Ɔba no ne wɔn a Ɔba no bɛda Agya no adi akyerɛ wɔn no.”
All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.
23 Ɛkaa ɔne nʼasuafo no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Nhyira ne aniwa a ehu nea muhu!
And, turning to the disciples, he said privately, Happy are the eyes which see the things you see:
24 Efisɛ adiyifo ne ahene pii pɛe sɛ anka wohu nea muhu yi na wɔte nea mote yi, nanso wɔanhu na wɔante.”
For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.
25 Mmaranimfo bi pɛɛ sɛ ɔsɔ Yesu hwɛ nti obisaa no se, “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, menyɛ dɛn na manya nkwa a enni awiei?” (aiōnios g166)
And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
26 Yesu nso bisaa no se, “Dɛn na wɔakyerɛw wɔ Mose mmara no mu? Na wote ase dɛn?”
And he said to him, What does the law say, in your reading of it?
27 Obuaa no se, “Mmara no ka se, ‘Fa wo koma, ne wo kra, ne wʼahoɔden, ne wʼadwene nyinaa dɔ Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, na dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho!’”
And he, answering, said, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and for your neighbour as for yourself.
28 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Woabua no yiye. Yɛ eyinom na wubenya nkwa.”
And he said, You have given the right answer: do this and you will have life.
29 Nanso ɔbarima no pɛɛ sɛ ɔkyerɛ sɛ odi mmara no nyinaa so nti, obisaa Yesu se, “Hena ne me yɔnko?”
But he, desiring to put himself in the right, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
30 Yesu nso maa no mfatoho bi se, “Da bi, na ɔbarima bi retu kwan afi Yerusalem akɔ Yeriko. Na ɔnam ɔkwan so no, ɔkɔtɔɔ akwamukafo mu na wogyee ne ho nneɛma nyinaa, hwee no, pirapiraa no ma ɔtɔɔ beraw, gyaw no too ɔkwan kyɛn kɔe.
And Jesus, answering him, said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he got into the hands of thieves, who took his clothing and gave him cruel blows, and when they went away, he was half dead.
31 Ankyɛ biara, Yudani sɔfo bi bepuee ne so, nanso ɔman faa nkyɛn kɔe.
And by chance a certain priest was going down that way: and when he saw him, he went by on the other side.
32 Saa ara nso na Lewini bi nso bepuee ne so man faa nkyɛn.
And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side.
33 Ankyɛ biara na Samariani bi nso beduu hɔ. Ohuu no no, ɔyɛɛ no mmɔbɔ.
But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,
34 Ɔkɔkotow ne nkyɛn, hohoroo nʼapirakuru no anim, de aduru guguu mu, kyekyeree. Afei ɔmaa no so de no tenaa nʼafurum so dii aboa no nkyɛn de no kɔɔ ahɔhobea bi hwɛɛ no anadwo mu no nyinaa.
And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him.
35 Ade kyee no ogyaw ahɔhobea sohwɛfo no sika a ɛbɛso no hwɛ sɛ ɔmfa nhwɛ no. Ɔsan hyɛɛ no bɔ se, ‘Ka foforo biara a wobɛbɔ wɔ ne ho no, mɛba abetua.’
And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.
36 “Afei saa nnipa baasa yi mu hena na ɔyɛɛ ne yɔnko?”
Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves?
37 Mmaranimfo no buae se, “Nea ohuu opirafo no mmɔbɔ no.” Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo nso, kɔ na kɔyɛ saa ara.”
And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.
38 Ɛbaa sɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafo rekɔ Yerusalem no, wokoduu akuraa bi ase. Woduu hɔ no, ɔbea bi a wɔfrɛ no Marta de no kɔɔ ne fi.
Now, while they were on their way, he came to a certain town; and a woman named Martha took him into her house.
39 Marta nuabea bi a wɔfrɛ no Maria tenaa fam wɔ Yesu nkyɛn tiee no.
And she had a sister, by name Mary, who took her seat at the Lord's feet and gave attention to his words.
40 Saa bere no, Marta a nʼani abere reyɛ aduan no baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Awurade, mayɛ adwuma abrɛ, nti ka kyerɛ Maria na ommeso mu mma me.”
But Martha had her hands full of the work of the house, and she came to him and said, Lord, is it nothing to you that my sister has let me do all the work? Say to her that she is to give me some help.
41 Awurade buaa no se, “Marta, Marta, wudwinnwen haw wo ho wɔ nneɛma pii ho.
But the Lord, answering, said to her, Martha, Martha, you are full of care and troubled about such a number of things:
42 Ade baako pɛ na ehia; ɛno na Maria afa no; na wɔrennye mfi ne nsam.”
Little is needed, or even one thing only: for Mary has taken that good part, which will not be taken away from her.
