Luka 17
1 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Ɛyɛ dɛn ara a hintinnua no bɛba, nanso obiara a ebi bɛfa ne so aba no nnue.
Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2 Eye ma saa onipa no sɛ wɔde ɔbo a mu yɛ duru bi bɛsen ne kɔn mu atow no akyene po mu sen sɛ ɔbɛto nkumaa yi mu baako hintidua.
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
3 Enti monhwɛ mo ho so yiye. “Sɛ wo nua fom wo a, ka nʼanim na sɛ onu ne ho a, fa ne bɔne kyɛ no.
Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4 Sɛ nso ɔfom wo mpɛn ason da koro na mpɛn dodow a ɔfom wo no nyinaa, ɔde ahonu srɛ wo a fa kyɛ no.”
And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
5 Asomafo no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu se, “Awurade, to yɛn gyidi so.”
And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Sɛ mowɔ gyidi te sɛ onyaa aba a, anka mubetumi aka akyerɛ ankye yi se, ‘Tutu kogu po mu,’ na ɛbɛba mu saa.
And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
7 “Mo mu hena na ɔwɔ ɔsomfo a ɔyɛ nʼafuw mu adwuma anaasɛ ɔhwɛ ne mmoa na ofi afum ba a, ɔbɛka akyerɛ no se, ‘Wʼaduan si hɔ na kodidi?’
But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
8 Na mmom ɔrenka nkyerɛ no se, ‘Noa aduan ma me na sɛ mididi wie a, wo nso woakodidi?’
And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
9 Sɛ ɔsomfo yi yɛ nʼasɛde yi a ne wura no bɛda no ase ana?
Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
10 Saa ara nso na sɛ mo nso moyɛ mo asɛde a, ɛsɛ sɛ moka se, ‘Yɛyɛ asomfo a ayeyi mfata yɛn; yɛn asɛde a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ na yɛayɛ no.’”
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
11 Bere bi a Yesu rekɔ Yerusalem no, ɔfaa Samaria ne Galilea hye so.
And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 Ɔrebɛn akuraa bi ase no, akwatafo du bi a na wogyinagyina kurotia no huu no
And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13 teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Yesu, yɛn wura, hu yɛn mmɔbɔ!”
And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 Yesu huu wɔn no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momfa mo ho nkɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo!” Bere a akwatafo no rekɔ no, wɔn ho yɛɛ wɔn den.
And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 Wɔn mu baako huu sɛ ne ho ayɛ no den no, ɔsan nʼakyi de ahurusi yii Onyankopɔn ayɛ se, “Anuonyam nka Onyankopɔn, wama me ho ayɛ me den!”
And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 Ɔbɛkotow Yesu anim daa no ase. Na saa ɔbarima yi yɛ Samariani.
And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 Yesu bisae se, “Ɛnyɛ nnipa du na wɔn ho yɛɛ wɔn den? Baakron a wɔaka no wɔ he?
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 Adɛn nti na ɔmamfrani yi nko na wasan aba sɛ ɔrebeyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ?”
There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɔre kɔ, wo gyidi ama wo ho ayɛ wo den.”
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
20 Da bi Farisifo bi bisaa Yesu se, “Bere bɛn na Onyankopɔn ahenni no bɛba?” Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Onyankopɔn ahenni no nnam nsɛnkyerɛnne bi a mubehu so na ɛbɛba,
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 obi rentumi nkyerɛ mo sɛ, ‘Ɛwɔ ha anaa hɔ!’ Efisɛ Onyankopɔn ahenni no te mo mu.”
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, “Mmere bi bɛba a mo ani begyina sɛ mubehu me bere tiaa bi wɔ mo nkyɛn, nanso morenhu me.
And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23 Sɛ nnipa ka kyerɛ mo se Onipa Ba no wɔ ha anaa baabi foforo a, munnni wɔn akyi.
And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24 Sɛnea anyinam pa gya wɔ wim ma nnipa nyinaa hu no, saa ara nso na me ba a mɛsan aba no bɛyɛ.
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25 Nanso ansa na eyinom nyinaa bɛba mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ mihu amane na me nkurɔfo nso po me.
But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26 “Sɛnea Noa bere so nnipa yɛɛ asoɔden no, saa ara nso na sɛ meba a ɛbɛyɛ ne no.
And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 Saa bere no, nnipa didi nomee, wareware kosii sɛ Noa kɔhyɛɛ hyɛn no mu na nsuyiri bɛfaa saa nnipa no nyinaa.
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 “Saa ara nso na Lot bere so no, na ɛte. Nnipa didi nomee, dii gua, yɛɛ mfuw, sisii adan,
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 kosii sɛ Lot fii Sodom, na ogya ne sufre fii soro bɛhyew saa nnipa no nyinaa.
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 “Saa ara nso na da a mɛsan aba no bɛyɛ.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31 Saa da no, ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara a ɔwɔ adwuma mu, afuw mu anaa gua so san nʼakyi ba fie sɛ ɔrebɛsesa nʼahode.
In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32 Monkae asɛm a ɛtoo Lot yere.
Remember Lot’s wife.
33 Obiara a ɔdɔ ne kra no, ebefi ne nsa. Na nea ɔbɛhwere ne kra no benya.
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34 Da no, wɔbɛfa nnipa baanu a wɔda faako no mu baako agyaw ɔbaako.
I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Saa ara nso na wɔbɛfa mmea baanu a wɔrenoa aduan no mu baako agyaw ɔbaako.
Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Mmarima baanu a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ afuw mu no nso, wɔbɛfa ɔbaako agyaw ɔbaako.”
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 Asuafo no bisaa Yesu se, “Awurade, ɛhe na wɔde wɔn bɛkɔ?” Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Baabi a funu wɔ no, apete mpa hɔ!”
And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
