Luka 13
1 Saa bere no na nnipa bi bɛka kyerɛɛ Yesu se Pilato akum Galileafo bi a wɔrebɔ afɔre ama Onyankopɔn na ɔde wɔn mogya afra afɔrebɔ no.
And there were present, at that very time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mugye di sɛ saa Galileafo no yɛ nnebɔneyɛfo sen wɔn a aka no nyinaa nti na wokum wɔn no?
And he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things?
3 Dabi da, sɛ mo nso moansakra mo adwene a, wobekunkum mo saa ara.
No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
4 Anaasɛ mususuw sɛ nnipa dunwɔtwe a Siloa abantenten no bu guu wɔn so, kunkum wɔn no yɛ nnebɔneyɛfo sen nnipa a na wɔte Yerusalem no?
Or those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you, that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 Dabi da, mo nso moansakra a, mubewuwu saa ara.”
No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
6 Afei Yesu buu wɔn bɛ yi se, “Ɔbarima bi duaa borɔdɔma wɔ ne turo mu. Da bi ɔkɔɔ turo no mu hɔ sɛ ɔrekɔtew so aba no bi nanso wannya bi.
He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
7 Ɛno akyi, ɔfrɛɛ turo no sohwɛfo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Mfe abiɛsa ni, bere biara a mɛba sɛ merebɛtew borɔdɔma no bi no, minnya bi. Adɛn nti na ɛresɛe kwa yi? Twa kyene.’
And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it done therefore: why cumbereth it the ground?
8 “Turo no sohwɛfo no srɛɛ no se, ‘Me wura, ma ensi hɔ afe yi nso na mingugu ase sumina nhwɛ
But he answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it, and dung it.
9 sɛ ebia, ɛbɛsow aba bi ana, na sɛ antumi ansow a ɛno de metwa akyene.’”
And if happily it bear fruit: but if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
10 Homeda bi a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ hyiadan mu no,
And he was teaching in their synagogue on their sabbath.
11 na ɔbea bi wɔ hɔ a honhommɔne mu ɔyare bi akyere no mfe dunwɔtwe ama ne mu akoa a ontumi nteɛ ne mu koraa.
And behold there was a woman, who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and she was bowed together, neither could she look upwards at all.
12 Yesu huu no no, ɔfrɛɛ no fii nnipa no mu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɔbea, wo ho nyɛ wo den.”
Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him, and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity.
13 Ɔde ne nsa guu ne so, na amono mu hɔ ara otumi teɛɛ ne mu. Na ɔbea no yii Onyankopɔn ayɛ.
And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 Hyiadan no so panyin a ohuu ɔbea no ayaresa no de abufuw kae se, “Nnansia na ɛsɛ sɛ mode yɛ adwuma a saa nna no mu na ɛsɛ sɛ moba ma wɔsa mo yare, na ɛnyɛ homeda.”
And the ruler of the synagogue (being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath) answering, said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them therefore come, and be healed; and not on the sabbath day.
15 Na Awurade buaa no se, “Nyaatwomfo! Mo mu hena na ɔnsan ne nantwi anaa nʼafurum na ɔnka no nkɔnom nsu homeda?
And the Lord answering him, said: Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you, on the sabbath day, loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead them to water?
16 Adɛn nti na Abraham aseni yi a ɔbonsam afa no nnommum mfe dunwɔtwe ni no ɛnsɛ sɛ mesa no yare homeda?”
And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17 Ɔkaa saa no, wɔn a na wɔne nʼadwene nhyia no nyinaa ani wui. Nnipa no nso a na wɔwɔ hyiadan no mu nyinaa ani gyee nʼanwonwade ahorow a ɔyɛe no nyinaa ho.
And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him.
18 Afei Yesu fii ase kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn ahenni no ho asɛm, na obisaa wɔn se, “Onyankopɔn ahenni no te dɛn? Na dɛn na memfa nto ho nkyerɛkyerɛ ase?
He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble it?
19 Onyankopɔn ahenni no te sɛ onyaa aba ketewa bi a obi duaa wɔ nʼafuw mu na enyin yɛɛ dutan kɛse maa nnomaa kɔnwen wɔn mmerebuw wɔ so.”
It is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden, and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in the branches thereof.
20 Obisaa bio se, “Dɛn bio na memfa ntoto ho nkyerɛ ase?
And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like?
21 Ɛte sɛ mmɔkaw bi a brodotofo de fɔtɔw mmɔre ma etu.”
It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
22 Bere a Yesu rekɔ Yerusalem no, ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ nkurow so ne nkuraa ase ansa na ɔredu hɔ.
And he went through the cities and towns teaching, and making his journey to Jerusalem.
23 Ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no mu no, obi bisaa no se, “Awurade, nnipa kakraa bi na wobegye wɔn nkwa ana?” Obuaa no se,
And a certain man said to him: Lord, are they few that are saved? But he said to them:
24 “Mompere nhyɛn ɔpon teateaa no mu, efisɛ nnipa pii bɛhwehwɛ sɛ wobewura mu, nanso wɔrentumi.
Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able.
25 Sɛ ɛba sɛ ofiwura no ato ɔpon no mu a, mobɛba abegyina akyi abɔ mu, aka se, ‘Owura, yɛsrɛ wo bue yɛn.’ “Na ɔno nso abisa mo se, ‘Mufi he? Minnim mo?’
But when the master of the house shall be gone in, and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are.
26 “Na mo nso moaka akyerɛ no se, ‘Yɛne wo too nsa didii na wokyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ yɛn mmorɔn so.’
Then you shall begin to say: We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 “Na ofiwura no nso bebisa mo bio se, ‘Mufi he? Minnim mo. Mumfi mʼani so nkɔ, mo nnebɔneyɛfo!’
And he shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28 “Na sɛ muhu Abraham, Isak, Yakob ne nkɔmhyɛfo no nyinaa sɛ wɔwɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni no mu a, mode mo nsa begu mo ti atwa agyaadwo, efisɛ wɔbɛtow mo agu sum kabii mu.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29 Nnipa fi apuei ne atɔe nyinaa behyia wɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni no mu hɔ ato nsa adidi.
And there shall come from the east and the west, and the north and the south; and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 Na monkae sɛ akyikafo bi wɔ hɔ a, wobedi kan, na adikanfo bi nso wɔ hɔ a, wɔbɛka akyi.”
And behold, they are last that shall be first; and they are first that shall be last.
31 Saa bere no ara mu na Farisifo bi baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fi ha kɔ, efisɛ Herode rehwehwɛ wo akum wo.”
The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee.
32 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔka nkyerɛ sakraman no se, ‘mitu ahonhommɔne, na masa nyarewa nnɛ ne ɔkyena na ne nnansa so no, medu Yerusalem.’
And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I am consummated.
33 Nanso ɛsɛ sɛ menantew nnɛ ne ɔkyena ne nʼadekyee, na otwa ara na etwa sɛ odiyifo bewu wɔ Yerusalem!
Nevertheless I must walk today and tomorrow, and the day following, because it cannot be that a prophet perish, out of Jerusalem.
34 “Yerusalem, Yerusalem, wo a wukum adiyifo na wusiw wɔn a wɔsoma wɔn wo nkyɛn no abo! Mpɛn ahe ni a mepɛɛ sɛ meboaboa wo mma ano sɛ akokɔbeatan boaboa ne mma ano wɔ ne ntaban ase nanso moampene so.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children as the bird doth her brood under her wings, and thou wouldest not?
35 Na mo afi bɛdan afituw na morenhu me kosi sɛ mobɛka se, ‘Nhyira ne nea ɔnam Awurade din mu reba no!’”
Behold your house shall be left to you desolate. And I say to you, that you shall not see me till the time come, when you shall say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
