Luka 5
1 Da bi a Yesu reka asɛmpa wɔ Genesaret ɔtare ho no, nnipakuw bɛkyeree ne so sɛ wɔrebetie Onyankopɔn asɛm.
Now it happened, while the crowd pressed on him and heard the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
2 Ohuu akorow abien a apopofo bi a wɔhohoro wɔn asau wɔ mu no agyaw wɔ ɔtare no ho.
He saw two boats standing by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 Yesu kɔtenaa ɔkorow no baako a na ɛyɛ Simon de no mu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ Simon se ompia nkɔ asu no mu kakra sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obetumi afi hɔ akasa akyerɛ nnipa no.
He entered into one of the boats, which was Shimon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. He sat down and taught the crowds from the boat.
4 Yesu wiee nʼasɛnka no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Simon se, “Hare kɔ baabi a emu dɔ kakra na munkogu mo asau no na mubeyi nam bebree.”
When he had finished speaking, he said to Shimon, "Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch."
5 Simon kae se, “Owura, yɛyɛɛ adwuma anadwo mu no nyinaa yɛannya hwee, nanso wʼasɛm nti, yebegu yɛn asau no.”
Shimon answered him, "Master, we worked all night, and took nothing; but at your word I will let down the nets."
6 Woguu asau no na woyii nam bebree maa anka mpo asau no retetew.
When they had done this, they caught a great multitude of fish, and their net was breaking.
7 Wɔfrɛɛ wɔn mfɛfo a wɔwɔ ɔkorow baako no mu no ma wɔbɛboaa wɔn twee asau no. Nam no yɛɛ akorow abien no nyinaa amaama a anka ɛreyɛ amem mpo.
They beckoned to their partners in the other boat, that they should come and help them. They came, and filled both boats, so that they began to sink.
8 Simon Petro huu nea aba no, obuu Yesu nkotodwe kae se, “Me wura, mesrɛ wo fi me nkyɛn kɔ na meyɛ ɔdebɔneyɛni a mensɛ sɛ wobɛn me.”
But Shimon Kipha, when he saw it, fell down at Yeshua's knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord."
9 Nam dodow a woyii no yɛɛ Petro ne ne ne dɔm no nwonwa.
For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had caught;
10 Saa ara nso na ɛyɛɛ Yakobo ne Yohane, Sebedeo mma no nso nwonwa. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Petro se, “Nsuro efi nnɛ, wobɛyɛ nnipayifo.”
and so also were Yaquv and Yukhanan, sons of Zabedai, who were partners with Shimon. Yeshua said to Shimon, "Do not be afraid. From now on you will be catching people."
11 Wɔde akorow no beduu asu no ano hɔ no, wogyaw wɔn nneɛma nyinaa hɔ bedii nʼakyi.
When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything, and followed him.
12 Da bi a Yesu wɔ kurow bi mu no, ɔbarima bi a kwata ayɛ ne honam nyinaa bɛkotow nʼanim srɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, mesrɛ wo, sɛ ɛyɛ wo pɛ a, sa me yare.”
It happened, while he was in one of the cities, look, there was a man full of leprosy. When he saw Yeshua, he fell on his face, and begged him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."
13 Ɛhɔ ara Yesu teɛɛ ne nsa de kaa no kae se, “Yiw, ɛyɛ me pɛ. Wo ho mfi.” Amono mu hɔ ara, ne ho fii.
And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be cleansed." Immediately the leprosy left him.
14 Yesu hyɛɛ no se, “Wo ne obiara nni wʼayaresa yi ho nkɔmmɔ. Kɔ na fa wo ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo na bɔ afɔre a Mose hyɛɛ sɛ akwatafo a wɔn ho afi no mmɔ sɛ adansedi no.”
And he commanded him, "Do not tell anyone, but go your way, and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing according to what Mushe commanded, for a testimony to them."
15 Yesu anwonwadwuma a ɔyɛe yi maa ne ho asɛm trɛw mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa maa nnipa bebree betiee no pɛɛ sɛ ɔsa wɔn yare nso.
But the report concerning him spread much more, and large crowds came together to hear, and to be healed of their infirmities.
16 Nanso na ɔtaa twe ne ho kɔ sare so kɔbɔ mpae.
But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.
17 Bere bi a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ no, na Farisifo ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo bi a wofi Galilea ne Yudea nkurow ahorow so ne Yerusalem nso wɔ hɔ bi a wɔretie no. Saa bere no, na Onyankopɔn ayaresa tumi ahyɛ no ma.
It happened on one of those days, that he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and teachers of the Law sitting by, who had come out of every village of Galila, Yehuda, and Urishlim. The power of the Lord was with him to heal.
18 Mmarima bi baa hɔ a wɔso obubuafo bi.
And look, men brought a paralyzed man on a cot, and they sought to bring him in to lay before him.
19 Esiane sɛ na wontumi mfa nnipakuw no mu nkɔ Yesu nkyɛn nti, wɔforoo ɔdan a Yesu wɔ mu no kotuu atifi tokuru, de obubuafo a ɔda ne kɛtɛ so no faa mu gyaagyaa no brɛoo, kɔtoo Yesu anim.
Not finding a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up to the housetop, and let him down through the tiles with his cot into the midst before Yeshua.
20 Yesu huu gyidi a wɔwɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔyarefo no se, “Onua, wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo.”
Seeing their faith, he said, "Man, your sins are forgiven you."
21 Farisifo no ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no tee asɛm a Yesu kae no, wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Hena ne saa onipa yi a ɔreka abususɛm yi? Hena na otumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ ka Onyankopɔn ho?”
The scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this that speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"
22 Esiane sɛ Yesu huu nea wodwinnwen no nti, obuaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti na modwene sɛ asɛm a mekae yi yɛ abususɛm?”
But Yeshua, perceiving their thoughts, answered them, "Why are you reasoning so in your hearts?
23 Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Nea ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ den, sɛ wɔbɛka akyerɛ obi se, wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo anaasɛ, wɔbɛka se sɔre na nantew?
Which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you;' or to say, 'Arise and walk?'
24 Na sɛ ɛbɛyɛ na mubehu sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ wɔ asase so nti.” Mereka akyerɛ wo se, “Sɔre yi wo kɛtɛ na kɔ fie!”
But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins" (he said to the paralyzed man), "I tell you, arise, and take up your cot, and go to your house."
25 Amono mu hɔ ara, ɔsɔre yii ne kɛtɛ kɔɔ fie. Ɔrekɔ no nyinaa na ɔreyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ.
Immediately he rose up before them, and took up that which he was laying on, and departed to his house, glorifying God.
26 Wɔn a wogyina hɔ no ho dwiriw wɔn. Ehu kaa wɔn. Woyii Onyankopɔn ayɛ kae se, “Nnɛ de, yɛahu anwonwade.”
Amazement took hold on all, and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today."
27 Eyi akyi no, Yesu fii hɔ kohuu ɔtowgyeni Lewi sɛ ɔte atowgyei. Ohuu no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Bedi mʼakyi.”
After these things he went out, and saw a tax collector named Lewi sitting at the tax office, and said to him, "Follow me."
28 Lewi sɔre gyaw ne nneɛma nyinaa hɔ dii nʼakyi.
He left everything, and rose up and followed him.
29 Akyiri no, Lewi too pon wɔ ne fi maa Yesu. Towgyefo ne nnipa ahorow bebree kɔɔ aponto no ase.
Lewi made a great feast for him in his house. There was a large crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.
30 Farisifo ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo no huu sɛ Yesu ne saa nnipa no ato nsa redidi no, wonwiinwii bisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na wo ne towgyefo ne nnebɔneyɛfo ato nsa redidi?”
The Pharisees and their scribes grumbled at his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?"
31 Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Wɔn a wɔyare no na ɔyaresafo ho hia wɔn na ɛnyɛ wɔn a wɔnyare.
Yeshua answered them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.
32 Mamma sɛ merebɛfrɛ atreneefo na mmom mebɛfrɛɛ nnebɔneyɛfo sɛ wɔnsakra wɔn adwene.”
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
33 Nnipa no kɔɔ so bisaa no bio se, “Adɛn nti na Osuboni Yohane asuafo ne Farisifo asuafo no de, wɔtaa di mmuada, na wʼasuafo de, daa wodidi na wɔnom?”
They said to him, "The disciples of Yukhanan often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink."
34 Yesu nso bisaa wɔn se, “Ɛho hia sɛ wɔn a wɔn ani agye, anaasɛ wɔn a wɔahyia wɔn ayeforo ase no di mmuada, wɔ bere a ayeforokunu no wɔ wɔn nkyɛn ana?
He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 Nanso da bi bɛba a wɔbɛfa ayeforokunu no afi wɔn nkyɛn; saa bere no na wobedi mmuada.”
But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them. Then they will fast in those days."
36 Yesu buu wɔn bɛ yi se, “Obi mfa ntama foforo ntare ntama dedaw mu. Ɔyɛ saa a foforo no bɛma dedaw no asuane. Na ɛbɛma nsonoe ada foforo no ne dedaw no ntam.
He also told a parable to them. "No one having torn a piece from a new garment puts it on an old garment, or else he will tear the new, and also the piece from the new will not match the old.
37 Obiara nso mfa nsa foforo ngu mmoa nhoma nsa nkotoku dedaw mu. Ɔyɛ saa a nsa no bɛpaapae nkotoku no na ahwie agu na nkotoku no nso asɛe.
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed.
38 Eyi nti, nsa nkotoku foforo mu nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsa foforo gu.
But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
39 Obi nnom nsa dedaw nwie mmisa nsa foforo ase. Nea ɔnom no ka se, ‘dedaw no na eye.’”
No one having drunk old wine desires new, for he says, 'The old is good.'"
