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.
And he said to his disciples, It is impossible but that stumbling-blocks will come; but woe to 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 to have a millstone hung round his neck, and be cast into the sea, than to cause one of these little ones to fall away.
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 sin, 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 sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times turn 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 to the Lord, Give us more 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.
But the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye might say to this sycamine-tree, Be plucked up by the roots, and planted in the sea! and it would 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?’
And which of you having a servant plowing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he hath come in from the field, Come immediately and place thyself at table?
8 Na mmom ɔrenka nkyerɛ no se, ‘Noa aduan ma me na sɛ mididi wie a, wo nso woakodidi?’
Will he not rather say to 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 owe any thanks to that servant, because he did what was commanded?
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 also do ye, when ye have done all that hath been commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants; we have done what we were bound to do.
11 Bere bi a Yesu rekɔ Yerusalem no, ɔfaa Samaria ne Galilea hye so.
And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, that he was traveling on the confines 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 lepers, who stood afar off.
13 teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Yesu, yɛn wura, hu yɛn mmɔbɔ!”
And they lifted up their voice, saying, Jesus, Master, have pity 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 to them, Go, show yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they were on their way, 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, perceiving that he was freed from his disease, turned back, giving glory to God with a loud voice;
16 Ɔbɛkotow Yesu anim daa no ase. Na saa ɔbarima yi yɛ Samariani.
and he fell down on his face at his feet, giving thanks to him; 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 not the ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
18 Adɛn nti na ɔmamfrani yi nko na wasan aba sɛ ɔrebeyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ?”
Were there none found returning to give glory to God but this foreigner?
19 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɔre kɔ, wo gyidi ama wo ho ayɛ wo den.”
And he said to him, Rise and go; thy faith hath made thee well.
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 being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not in such a manner as to be watched for;
21 obi rentumi nkyerɛ mo sɛ, ‘Ɛwɔ ha anaa hɔ!’ Efisɛ Onyankopɔn ahenni no te mo mu.”
nor will they say, Lo here! or there! for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of 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 to the disciples, The days will come, when ye will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and will not see it.
23 Sɛ nnipa ka kyerɛ mo se Onipa Ba no wɔ ha anaa baabi foforo a, munnni wɔn akyi.
And they will say to you, Lo there! lo here! Go not away, and follow not.
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 one part under heaven, shineth to the other part under heaven, so will 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 he must suffer much, and be rejected by 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 will 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 ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered 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,
In like manner, as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, 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 on the day when 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.
Thus will 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, let not him who is upon the house-top, and whose furniture is in the house, come down to take it away; and he that is in the field, let him likewise not turn 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.
Whoever shall seek to save his life will lose it; and whoever shall lose it will preserve it.
34 Da no, wɔbɛfa nnipa baanu a wɔda faako no mu baako agyaw ɔbaako.
I tell you, In that night there will be two men on one bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left.
35 Saa ara nso na wɔbɛfa mmea baanu a wɔrenoa aduan no mu baako agyaw ɔbaako.
Two women will be grinding together; one will be taken, and the other left.
36 Mmarima baanu a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ afuw mu no nso, wɔbɛfa ɔbaako agyaw ɔbaako.”
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 answering say to him, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there also will the eagles be gathered together.
