Luka 10
1 Yei akyi, Yesu yii nʼakyidifoɔ no mu aduɔson somaa wɔn baanu baanu kɔɔ nkuro ne nkuraa a akyire no ɔbɛkɔ hɔ no so.
Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy-two others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place, where he was about to come.
2 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Otwa adwuma no dɔɔso, nanso adwumayɛfoɔ no sua. Enti, monsrɛ adwumawura no na ɔmma adwumayɛfoɔ bebree mmra ne twa adwuma no mu.
Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest.
3 Monkɔ, na meresoma mo sɛ nnwan akɔ mpataku mu.
Go your way. Look, I send you out as lambs among wolves.
4 Mommfa sika, akwantubɔtɔ anaa mpaboa; na monnkyea obiara nso a mobɛhyia no wɔ ɛkwan so.
Carry no money bag, nor pack, nor sandals; and greet no one on the way.
5 “Sɛ mokɔ efie biara mu a, monni ɛkan nkyea efie hɔfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Asomdwoeɛ nka mo!’
Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'
6 Na sɛ asomdwoeɛ ba bi wɔ hɔ a, mo asomdwoeɛ bɛba ne so; na sɛ obi a ɔte saa nni hɔ a, mo asomdwoeɛ bɛsane aba mo nkyɛn.
If a peaceful person is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
7 Efie biara a mokɔ mu no, momma ɛhɔ nyɛ mo atenaeɛ; aduane biara a wɔde bɛma mo no, monni, ɛfiri sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ odwumayɛfoɔ biara nya nʼadwumayɛ so akatua; monnni atutena wɔ afie mu.
Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.
8 “Na sɛ mokɔ kuro biara mu na wɔgye mo fɛw so a, aduane biara a wɔde bɛma mo no, monni.
Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
9 Monsa kuro no mu ayarefoɔ yadeɛ, na monka nkyerɛ ɛhɔfoɔ nyinaa sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn Ahennie no abɛn mo.’
Heal the sick who are in it, and tell them, 'The Kingdom of God has come near to you.'
10 Nanso, sɛ mokɔ kuro biara mu na wɔannye mo fɛw so a, monkɔ ne mmɔntene so nkɔpae mu nka sɛ,
But into whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,
11 ‘Mo kurom ha mfuturo a ɛwɔ yɛn nan ase mpo, yɛreporoporo agu, de atia mo; na mmom monhunu pefee sɛ, Onyankopɔn Ahennie no abɛn.’
'Even the dust from your city that clings to our feet, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the Kingdom of God is near.'
12 Mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, saa kuro no, asɛm a ɛbɛto wɔn Atemmuo da no bɛsene deɛ ɛtoo Sodom no.
I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
13 “Korasin, due! Betsaida, due! Anwanwadeɛ a meyɛɛ wɔ mo mu no, sɛ meyɛɛ wɔ Tiro ne Sidon a, anka ɛhɔfoɔ no de awerɛhoɔ ne ahonuo asakyera wɔn adwene dada.
"Woe to you, Chorazin. Woe to you, Bethsaida. For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 Atemmuo da no, asɛm a ɛbɛto wɔn no bɛsene deɛ ɛbɛto Tiro ne Sidon.
But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.
And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to hell. (Hadēs g86)
16 “Obiara a ɔtie mo no tie me, na deɛ ɔpo mo no po me, na deɛ ɔpo me no nso po deɛ ɔsomaa me no.”
Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."
17 Aduɔson no sane de anigyeɛ baeɛ bɛbɔɔ amaneɛ sɛ, “Awurade, wo din enti, ahonhommɔne mpo abrɛ wɔn ho ase ama yɛn.”
The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name."
18 Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mehunuu sɛ ɔbonsam rete afiri ɔsoro sɛ anyinam abɛhwe fam.
He said to them, "I saw Satan having fallen like lightning from heaven.
19 Mama mo tumi ne ahoɔden a mode bɛtiatia awɔ ne anyanyankyerɛ ne ɔtamfoɔ no tumi biara a ɔwɔ so, na biribiara nso rentumi mo.
Look, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will in any way hurt you.
20 Nanso mommma mo ani nnye sɛ ahonhommɔne brɛ wɔn ho ase ma mo, na mmom, momma mo ani nnye sɛ wɔatwerɛ mo din wɔ ɔsoro.”
Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."
21 Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu, Yesu de Honhom Kronkron mu anigyeɛ bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Agya, ɔsoro ne asasewura, meda wo ase sɛ wode saa nneɛma yi ahinta wɔn a wɔsusu sɛ wɔyɛ anyansafoɔ, na mmom woada nokorɛ no adi akyerɛ wɔn a wɔde ahobrɛaseɛ gye wo di sɛ mmɔfra no. Nanso, Agya, wo pɛ mu na woma ɛbaa saa.
In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight."
22 “Mʼagya de nneɛma nyinaa ahyɛ me nsa; na obiara nnim Ɔba no, gye Agya no. Saa ara nso na obiara nnim Agya no, gye Ɔba no ne wɔn a Ɔba no bɛda Agya no adi akyerɛ wɔn no.”
"All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son desires to reveal him."
23 Ɛkaa ɔne nʼasuafoɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Nhyira ne aniwa a ɛhunu deɛ mohunu!
Turning to the disciples, he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things that you see,
24 Ɛfiri sɛ, adiyifoɔ ne ahene pii pɛɛ sɛ anka wɔhunu deɛ mohunu yi na wɔte deɛ mote yi, nanso wɔanhunu na wɔante.”
for I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them."
25 Mmaranimfoɔ bi pɛɛ sɛ ɔsɔ Yesu hwɛ enti ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, menyɛ dɛn na manya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ?” (aiōnios g166)
And look, a certain Law scholar stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?" (aiōnios g166)
26 Yesu nso bisaa no sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na wɔatwerɛ wɔ Mose mmara no mu? Na wote aseɛ sɛn?”
He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How do you read it?"
27 Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Mmara no ka sɛ, ‘Fa wʼakoma, ne wo kra, ne wʼahoɔden, ne wʼadwene nyinaa dɔ Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, na dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho!’”
He answered, "You are to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."
28 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Woabua no yie. Yɛ yeinom na wobɛnya nkwa.”
He said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."
29 Nanso, ɔbarima no pɛɛ sɛ ɔkyerɛ sɛ ɔdi mmara no nyinaa so enti, ɔbisaa Yesu sɛ, “Hwan ne me yɔnko?”
But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?"
30 Yesu nso maa no mfatoho bi sɛ, “Ɛda bi na ɔbarima bi retu ɛkwan firi Yerusalem akɔ Yeriko. Na ɔnam ɛkwan so no, ɔkɔtɔɔ akwanmukafoɔ mu na wɔgyee ne ho nneɛma nyinaa, hwee no, pirapiraa no ma ɔtɔɔ baha, gyaa no too kwankyɛn kɔeɛ.
Jesus answered, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 Ankyɛre biara, Yudani ɔsɔfoɔ bi bɛpuee ne so, nanso ɔmane faa nkyɛn kɔeɛ.
By chance a certain priest was going down that way. When he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 Saa ara nso na Lewini bi nso bɛpuee ne so mane faa nkyɛn.
In the same way a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33 Ankyɛre biara na Samariani bi nso bɛpuee hɔ. Ɔhunuu no no, ɔyɛɛ no mmɔbɔ.
But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,
34 Ɔkɔkotoo ne nkyɛn, hohoroo nʼapirakuro no anim, de aduro guguu mu, kyekyereeɛ. Afei, ɔmaa no so de no tenaa nʼafunumu so dii aboa no nkyɛn de no kɔɔ ahɔhobea bi hwɛɛ no anadwo mu no nyinaa.
came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, ɔgyaa ahɔhobea sohwɛfoɔ no sika a ɛbɛso no hwɛ sɛ ɔmfa nhwɛ no. Ɔsane hyɛɛ no bɔ sɛ, ‘Ɛka foforɔ biara a wobɛbɔ wɔ ne ho no, mɛba abɛtua.’
On the next day, he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said to him, 'Take care of him. Whatever you spend beyond that, I will repay you when I return.'
36 “Afei, saa nnipa baasa yi mu hwan na ɔyɛɛ ne yɔnko?”
Now which of these three do you think seemed to be a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"
37 Mmaranimfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Deɛ ɔhunuu opirafoɔ no mmɔbɔ no.” Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo nso, kɔ na kɔyɛ saa ara.”
He said, "He who showed mercy on him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
38 Ɛbaa sɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ rekɔ Yerusalem no, wɔkɔduruu akuraa bi ase. Wɔduruu hɔ no, ɔbaa bi a wɔfrɛ no Marta de no kɔɔ ne fie.
It happened as they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him.
39 Marta nuabaa bi a wɔfrɛ no Maria tenaa fam wɔ Yesu nkyɛn tiee no.
She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at the Lord's feet, and heard his word.
40 Saa ɛberɛ no, Marta a nʼani abere reyɛ aduane no baa Yesu nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Awurade, mayɛ adwuma abrɛ enti ka kyerɛ Maria na ɔmmɛsɔ me mu.”
But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me."
41 Awurade buaa no sɛ, “Marta, Marta, wodwennwene ha wo ho wɔ nneɛma pii ho.
But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things,
42 Adeɛ baako pɛ na ɛhia; ɛno na Maria afa no; na wɔrennye mfiri ne nsam.”
but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her."
