Marko 6
1 Yesu fi faako a ɔwɔ hɔ kɔɔ ne kurom a nʼasuafo no ka ne ho.
Leaving that place He came into His own country, accompanied by His disciples.
2 Ɔkɔɔ hyiadan mu Homeda, fii ase kyerɛkyerɛ maa dodow a wobetiee no ho dwiriw wɔn. Wobisae se, “Ɛhe na saa onipa yi nyaa saa nneɛma yi, dɛn nyansa na wɔde ama no a nti otumi yɛ anwonwade yi?
On the Sabbath He proceeded to teach in the synagogue; and many, as they heard Him, were astonished. "Where did he acquire all this?" they asked. "What is this wisdom that has been given to him? And what are these marvellous miracles which his hands perform?
3 Ɛnyɛ duadwumfo no ni? Ɛnyɛ Maria babarima a ne nuanom ne Yakobo, Yosef, Yuda ne Simon no ni? Ɛnyɛ yɛne ne nuabeanom na ɛte ha!” Na wɔn bo fuw no.
Is not this the carpenter, Mary's son, the brother of James and Joses, Jude and Simon? And do not his sisters live here among us?" So they turned angrily away.
4 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Odiyifo kurom, nʼabusuafo mu, ne ne fi na onni anuonyam.”
But Jesus said to them, "There is no Prophet without honour except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own home."
5 Wantumi anyɛ anwonwade ahorow wɔ hɔ, gye ayarefo kakraa bi na ɔde ne nsa guu wɔn so saa wɔn yare.
And He could not do any miracle there, except that He laid His hands on a few who were out of health and cured them; and
6 Gye a wɔannye no anni no yɛɛ no nwonwa. Na Yesu kyinkyinii nkuraase kyerɛkyerɛe.
He wondered at their unbelief. So He went round the adjacent villages, teaching.
7 Yesu frɛɛ nʼasuafo dumien no baa ne nkyɛn, na ɔsomaa wɔn baanu baanu, maa wɔn tumi wɔ ahonhommɔne so.
Then summoning the Twelve to Him, He proceeded to send them out by twos, and gave them authority over the foul spirits.
8 Akwankyerɛ a ɔde maa wɔn ni, “Mommfa biribiara nkura gye mo pema nko ara; mommfa aduan anaa kotoku anaa sika.
He charged them to take nothing for the journey except a stick; no bread, no bag, and not a penny in their pockets,
9 Bio, mommfa mpaboa foforo anaa atade foforo nka nea ɛhyɛ mo yi ho.
but to go wearing sandals. "And do not," He said, "put on an extra under garment.
10 Baabiara a mobɛkɔ no, montena ofi baako pɛ mu. Monnsesa mo atenae.
Wherever you enter a house, make it your home till you leave that place.
11 Na sɛ morefi kurow bi a wɔannye anaa wɔantie mo no mu akɔ a, momporoporow mo anan ase tutuw, mfa nni adanse.”
But wherever they will not receive you or listen to you, when you leave shake off the very dust from under your feet to bear witness concerning them."
12 Asuafo no kɔkaa asɛm no kyerɛɛ obiara a wohyiaa no no sɛ ɔnsakra nʼadwene, ntwe ne ho mfi ne bɔne ho.
So they set out, and preached in order that men might repent.
13 Na wotutuu ahonhommɔne bebree, de ngo sraa ayarefo pii saa wɔn yare.
Many demons they expelled, and many invalids they anointed with oil and cured.
14 Ɔhene Herode tee eyi, efisɛ na Yesu din atrɛw. Ebinom kae se, “Osuboni Yohane no na wasan aba nkwa mu bio, enti na otumi yɛ anwonwade a ɔyɛ yi.”
King Herod heard of all this (for the name of Jesus had become widely known), and he kept saying, "John the Baptizer has come back to life, and that is why these miraculous Powers are working in him."
15 Ebinom nso susuw sɛ, Yesu yɛ Odiyifo Elia na wasan aba. Afoforo nso kae se, odiyifo foforo bi a ɔte sɛ tete adiyifo akɛse no bi na waba.
Others asserted that He was Elijah. Others again said, "He is a Prophet, like one of the great Prophets."
16 Herode kae se, “Dabi, ɛyɛ Osuboni Yohane a mitwaa ne ti no. Wanyan afi owu mu.”
But when Herod heard of Him, he said, "The John, whom I beheaded, has come back to life."
17 Saa bere no na Herode asoma asraafo ma wɔakɔkyere Yohane de no ato afiase, efisɛ na Yohane akasa atia Herode ne Herodia a na ɔyɛ Herode nua Filipo yere no aware.
For Herod himself had sent and had had John arrested and had kept him in prison in chains, for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; because he had married her.
18 Osuboni Yohane ka kyerɛɛ Herode se, “Wunni ho kwan sɛ woware wo nua yere.”
For John had repeatedly told Herod, "You have no right to be living with your brother's wife."
19 Asɛm a Yohane kae no anyɛ Herodia nso dɛ, ma onyaa ne ho menasepɔw kae se, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum Yohane. Nanso ɔrentumi nkum no gye sɛ Herode ama no tumi.
Therefore Herodias hated him and wished to take his life, but could not;
20 Na Herode de obu ma Yohane, efisɛ na onim sɛ ɔyɛ onipa trenee. Eyi nti ɔbɔɔ ne ho ban. Bere biara a Horode ne Yohane bɛkasa no, na ne ho yeraw no nanso eyi nyinaa akyi no, ɔde ntoboase tiee no.
for Herod stood in awe of John, knowing him to be an upright and holy man, and he protected him. After listening to him he was in great perplexity, and yet he found a pleasure in listening.
21 Nea Herodia pɛɛ sɛ ɛnyɛ Yohane no baa mu. Ɛne sɛ, na Herode redi nʼawoda, ma ɔtoo pon wɔ nʼahemfi maa ne mpanyimfo, nʼasafohene ne Galilea mpanyimfo.
At length Herodias found her opportunity. Herod on his birthday gave a banquet to the nobles of his court and to the tribunes and the principal people in Galilee,
22 Herodia babea bɛsaw kyerɛɛ wɔn ma ɛyɛɛ wɔn nyinaa fɛ. Herode de ntam ka kyerɛɛ ababaa no se, “Bisa me biribiara a wopɛ; sɛ mʼaheman mu fa mpo na wopɛ koraa a, mede bɛma wo!”
at which Herodias's own daughter came in and danced, and so charmed Herod and his guests that he said to her, "Ask me for anything you please, and I will give it to you."
He even swore to her, "Whatever you ask me for I will give you, up to half my kingdom."
24 Ababaa yi kɔɔ ne na nkyɛn kobisaa no nea ommisa ma ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Bisa no Osuboni Yohane ti!”
She at once went out and said to her mother: "What shall I ask for?" "The head of John the Baptizer," she replied.
25 Ababaa yi de ahoɔhare san baa ɔhene no nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mepɛ sɛ wode Osuboni Yohane ti to prɛte mu ma me mprempren ara!”
The girl immediately came in, in haste, to the King and made her request. "My desire is," she said, "that you will give me, here and now, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist."
26 Eyi maa ɔhene no werɛ howee, nanso esiane sɛ na waka ntam wɔ nnipa no anim no nti, wammu bɔ a ɔhyɛɛ ne babea no so.
Then the King, though intensely sorry, yet for the sake of his oaths, and of his guests, would not break faith with her.
27 Herode somaa nʼasraafo no mu baako sɛ ɔnkɔ afiase hɔ nkotwa Yohane ti mfa mmrɛ no. Ɔsraani no kotwaa Osuboni Yohane ti,
He at once sent a soldier of his guard with orders to bring John's head. So he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 na ɔde too prɛte mu brɛɛ ababaa no ma ɔde kɔmaa ne na.
and brought his head on a dish and gave it to the young girl, who gave it to her mother.
29 Bere a Yohane asuafo no tee nea asi no, wɔbɛfaa nʼamu no kosiee no wɔ ɔboda bi mu.
When John's disciples heard of it, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.
30 Asomafo no san baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛkaa nea wɔyɛɛ ne nea wɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa a wɔkɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn no nyinaa kyerɛɛ no.
When the Apostles had re-assembled round Jesus, they reported to Him all they had done and all they had taught.
31 Yesu tiee wɔn amanneɛ no wiee no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momma yɛntwe yɛn ho mfi nnipakuw yi ho na yɛnkɔhome kakra.” Nea ɛma ɔkaa saa ne sɛ, na nnipa a wɔba wɔn nkyɛn no to ntwa da. Wonnya kwan mpo na wɔadidi.
Then He said to them, "Come away, all of you, to a quiet place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, so that they had no time even for meals.
32 Yesu ne nʼasuafo no tenaa ɔkorow mu kɔɔ baabi a obiara nni hɔ.
Accordingly they sailed away in the boat to a solitary place apart.
33 Nanso bere a wɔrekɔ no, nnipa pii huu wɔn ma wotuu mmirika faa mpoano hɔ kotwaa wɔn ho.
But the people saw them going, and many knew them; and coming by land they ran together there from all the neighbouring towns, and arrived before them.
34 Eyi nti bere a Yesu sii fam no, na nnipakuw ahyia wɔ hɔ. Ohuu wɔn no ne yam hyehyee no maa wɔn efisɛ na wɔte sɛ nguan a wonni ɔhwɛfo. Ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn nneɛma bebree a ɛsɛ sɛ wohu.
So when Jesus landed, He saw a vast multitude; and His heart was moved with pity for them, because they were like sheep which have no shepherd, and He proceeded to teach them many things.
35 Onwini reyɛ adwo no, nʼasuafo no baa ne nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ade resa. Aduan biara nso nni ha.
By this time it was late; so His disciples came to Him, and said, "This is a lonely place, and the hour is now late:
36 Ka kyerɛ nnipa no na wɔnkɔ nkurow mu ne nkuraa a atwa yɛn ho ahyia yi ase, na wɔnkɔtɔ aduan bi nni.”
send them away that they may go to the farms and villages near here and buy themselves something to eat."
37 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momma wɔn aduan nni.” Wobisaa no se, “Ansa na yebetumi ama saa nnipa dodow yi aduan no, ɛsɛ sɛ yenya asram asia akatua. Yɛnsɛe sika a ɛte saa mfa mma wɔn brodo nni ana?”
"Give them food yourselves," He replied. "Are we," they asked, "to go and buy two hundred shillings' worth of bread and give them food?"
38 Yesu bisaa wɔn se, “Brodo ahe na mowɔ? Monkɔ na monkɔhwɛ.” Wɔsan ba bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Wɔwɔ brodo anum ne mpataa abien.”
"How many loaves have you?" He inquired; "go and see." So they found out, and said, "Five; and a couple of fish."
39 Afei Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nnipakuw no se, wɔntenatena ase, na wɔtenatenaa ase akuwakuw wɔ sare no so.
So He directed them to make all sit down in companies on the green grass.
40 Wɔtenatenaa ase akuwakuw a bi yɛ ɔha na bi yɛ aduonum.
And they sat down in rows of hundreds and of fifties.
41 Yesu faa brodo anum ne mpataa abien no, na ɔhwɛɛ soro, bɔɔ mpae, hyiraa so. Obubuu brodo no mu de maa asuafo no sɛ wɔnkyɛ mma nnipa no. Na ɔkyɛɛ mpataa no nso maa wɔn.
Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and lifting His eyes to Heaven He blessed the food. Then He broke the loaves into portions which He went on handing to the disciples to distribute; giving pieces also of the two fish to them all.
42 Nnipa no dii aduan no maa obiara mee!
All ate and were fully satisfied.
43 Nnipa a wodii aduan no bɛyɛ mmarima mpem anum;
And they carried away broken portions enough to fill twelve baskets, besides pieces of the fish.
44 na wɔtasee ase nkae no, ɛyɛɛ nkɛntɛn dumien.
Those who ate the bread were 5,000 adult men.
45 Adidi no akyi pɛ, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no se, wɔnkɔtena ɔkorow no mu, na wonni kan nkɔ Betsaida, na ɔregya nnipakuw no kwan na watiw wɔn.
Immediately afterwards He made His disciples go on board the boat and cross over to Bethsaida, leaving Him behind to dismiss the crowd.
46 Akyiri no, ɔkɔɔ bepɔw no so kɔbɔɔ mpae.
He then bade the people farewell, and went away up the hill to pray.
47 Anadwo no a asuafo no te ɔkorow mu adu asu no mfimfini no, na Yesu nko ara na ɔwɔ mpoano.
When evening was come, the boat was half way across the Lake, while he Himself was on shore alone.
48 Ohuu sɛ na wɔn ho akyere wɔn; ɛne sɛ, mframa a ano yɛ den ne asorɔkye bɔ dwiradwiraa ɔkorow no, enti na wɔrebrɛ wɔ ɔkorow no hare mu. Anɔpahema bɛyɛ sɛ nnɔnabiɛsa bere mu no, ɔnantew asu no ani baa wɔn nkyɛn. Ɔyɛɛ sɛ ɔretwa wɔn ho.
But when He saw them distressed with rowing (for the wind was against them), towards morning He came towards them walking on the Lake, as if intending to pass them.
49 Bere a asuafo no huu obi sɛ ɔnam asu no ani no, wɔde ehu teɛteɛɛ mu efisɛ na wosusuw sɛ wɔahu ɔsaman.
They saw Him walking on the water, and thinking that it was a spirit they cried out;
50 Wɔn nyinaa huu no. Ɛhɔ ara, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momma mo bo ntɔ mo yam. Ɛyɛ me! Munnsuro!”
for they all saw Him and were terrified. He, however, immediately spoke to them. "There is no danger," He said; "it is I; be not alarmed."
51 Afei ɔkɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn wɔ ɔkorow no mu no, mframa no gyaee. Asuafo no ho dwiriw wɔn,
Then He went up to them on board the boat, and the wind lulled; and they were beside themselves with silent amazement.
52 efisɛ na wɔnte aduanma no ase, na wɔapirim wɔn koma.
For they had not learned the lesson taught by the loaves, but their minds were dull.
53 Wotwaa asu no baa Genesaret na woduu hɔ no, wɔde ɔkorow no baa mpoano.
Having crossed over they drew to land in Gennesaret and came to anchor.
54 Na wosi fii ɔkorow no mu no, nnipa a wogyinagyina hɔ no huu no.
But no sooner had they gone ashore than the people immediately recognized Him.
55 Wotuu mmirika kyinii nkurow a atwa hɔ ahyia no nyinaa so soaa nnipa a wɔyare deda wɔn akɛtɛ so brɛɛ no wɔ baabiara a wɔtee sɛ ɔwɔ.
Then they scoured the whole district, and began to bring Him the sick on their mats wherever they heard He was.
56 Na nkuraa ase anaa nkurow so baabiara a ɔkɔe no, wɔde ayarefo beguu mmɔnten so, srɛɛ no sɛ ɔmma wɔmfa wɔn nsa nka nʼatade ano kɛkɛ. Ayarefo dodow a wotumi de wɔn nsa kaa nʼatade ano no ho yɛɛ wɔn den.
And enter wherever He might--village or town or hamlet--they laid their sick in the open places, and entreated Him to let them touch were it but the tassel of His robe; and all, whoever touched Him, were restored to health.
