Luka 5
1 Ɛda bi a Yesu reka asɛmpa wɔ Genesaret ɔtadeɛ ho no, nnipakuo bɛkyeree ne so sɛ wɔrebɛtie Onyankopɔn asɛm.
And it came to pass while the multitude was pressing on him to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,
2 Ɔhunuu akodoɔ mmienu a afarefoɔ bi a wɔrehohoro wɔn asau wɔ mu no agya wɔ ɔtadeɛ no ho.
that he saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
3 Yesu kɔtenaa kodoɔ no baako a na ɛyɛ Simon dea no mu. Ɔka kyerɛɛ Simon sɛ ɔmpia nkɔ nsuo no mu kakra sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛtumi afiri hɔ akasa akyerɛ nnipa no.
And he entered one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and requested him to push out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitude from the ship.
4 Yesu wiee nʼasɛnka no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Simon sɛ, “Hare kɔ baabi a emu dɔ kakra na monkɔgu mo asau no na mobɛyi nam bebree.”
And when he had made an end of speaking, he said to Simon: Push out into the deep water, and let down your nets for a draught.
5 Simon kaa sɛ, “Owura, yɛyɛɛ adwuma anadwo mu no nyinaa yɛannya hwee, nanso wʼasɛm enti, yɛbɛgu yɛn asau no.”
And Simon answered and said to him: Master, we have toiled all night and have caught nothing; but at thy command, I will let down the net.
6 Wɔguu asau no na wɔyii nam bebree maa anka mpo asau no retete.
And when they had done this, they inclosed a great number of fishes, and their net began to break;
7 Wɔfrɛɛ wɔn mfɛfoɔ a wɔwɔ kodoɔ baako no mu no ma wɔbɛboaa wɔn twee asau no. Ɛnam no yɛɛ akodoɔ mmienu no nyinaa ma ma a anka ɛreyɛ amemem mpo.
and they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship, to come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
8 Simon Petro hunuu deɛ aba no, ɔbuu Yesu nkotodwe kaa sɛ, “Me wura, mesrɛ wo, firi me nkyɛn kɔ na meyɛ ɔdebɔneyɛfoɔ a mensɛ sɛ wobɛn me.”
And when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and said: Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.
9 Ɛnam dodoɔ a wɔyiiɛ no yɛɛ Petro ne nʼahokafoɔ no nwanwa.
For amazement at the draught of fishes which they had caught had seized upon him and all that were with him;
10 Saa ara nso na ɛyɛɛ Yakobo ne Yohane, Sebedeo mma no nso nwanwa. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ Petro sɛ, “Nsuro, ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, wobɛyɛ nnipayifoɔ.”
and in like manner also upon James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: Fear not; from this time forth you shall catch men.
11 Wɔde akodoɔ no bɛduruu nsuo no ano hɔ no, wɔgyaa wɔn nneɛma nyinaa hɔ bɛdii nʼakyi.
And when they had brought their ships to the land, they left all and followed him.
12 Ɛda bi a Yesu wɔ kuro bi mu no, ɔbarima bi a kwata ayɛ ne honam nyinaa bɛkotoo nʼanim srɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, mesrɛ wo, sɛ ɛyɛ wo pɛ a, sa me yadeɛ.”
And it came to pass, that he was in one of their cities; and behold, a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and besought him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13 Ɛhɔ ara Yesu tenee ne nsa de kaa no kaa sɛ, “Aane, ɛyɛ me pɛ. Wo ho mfi.” Amonom hɔ ara, ne ho teeɛ.
And stretching out his hand, he touched him, and said: I will; be clean. And immediately his leprosy departed from him.
14 Yesu hyɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo ne obiara nni wʼayaresa yi ho nkɔmmɔ. Kɔ na fa wo ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfoɔ na bɔ afɔdeɛ a Mose hyɛɛ sɛ akwatafoɔ a wɔn ho ate no mmɔ sɛ adansedie no.”
And he charged him to tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and make offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, that it may be a testimony to them.
15 Yesu anwanwadwuma a ɔyɛeɛ yi maa ne ho asɛm trɛɛ mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa maa nnipa bebree bɛtiee no pɛɛ sɛ ɔsa wɔn yadeɛ nso.
But his fame went abroad the more; and many multitudes came together to hear, and to be cured by him of their infirmities.
16 Nanso na ɔtaa twe ne ho kɔ ɛserɛ so kɔbɔ mpaeɛ.
And he withdrew to the deserts and prayed.
17 Ɛberɛ bi a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ no, na Farisifoɔ ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ bi a wɔfiri Galilea ne Yudea nkuro ahodoɔ so ne Yerusalem nso wɔ hɔ bi a wɔretie no. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Onyankopɔn ayaresa tumi ahyɛ no ma.
And it came to pass, on a certain day, that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was exerted to heal them.
18 Mmarima bi baa hɔ a wɔso obubuafoɔ bi.
And behold, men brought, on a bed, a man who was a paralytic. And they sought how they might bring him in, and lay him before him.
19 Esiane sɛ na wɔntumi mfa nnipakuo no mu nkɔ Yesu nkyɛn enti, wɔforoo ɛdan a Yesu wɔ mu no kɔtuu atifi tokuro, de obubuafoɔ a ɔda ne kɛtɛ so no faa mu gyaagyaa no brɛoo, kɔtoo Yesu anim.
And finding no way by which they could bring him in, because of the multitude, they went up on the top of the house, and, through the tiling, let him down, with his bed, into the midst before Jesus.
20 Yesu hunuu gyidie a wɔwɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔyarefoɔ no sɛ, “Onua, wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo.”
And when he saw their faith, he said to him: Man, your sins are forgiven you.
21 Farisifoɔ no ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no tee asɛm a Yesu kaeɛ no, wɔbisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Hwan ne saa onipa yi a ɔreka abususɛm yi? Hwan na ɔtumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ ka Onyankopɔn ho?”
And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, saying: Who is this that utters impious words? Who can forgive sins but God alone?
22 Esiane sɛ Yesu hunuu deɛ wɔdwennwene enti, ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na modwene sɛ asɛm a mekaeɛ yi yɛ abususɛm?”
But Jesus perceived their reasonings, and answered and said to them: Why are you reasoning in your hearts?
23 Yesu bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Deɛ ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ den, sɛ wɔbɛka akyerɛ obi sɛ, wɔde wo bɔne akyɛ wo anaasɛ, wɔbɛka sɛ, sɔre na nante?
Which is easier, to say., Your sins are forgiven you; or to say, Arise and walk?
24 Na sɛ ɛbɛyɛ na mobɛhunu sɛ Onipa Ba no wɔ tumi sɛ ɔde bɔne kyɛ wɔ asase so enti.” Mereka akyerɛ wo sɛ, “Sɔre yi wo kɛtɛ na kɔ efie!”
But that you may know that the Son of man on the earth has power to forgive sins, (he said to the paralytic, ) I say to you, Arise, and take up your bed, and go to your house.
25 Amonom hɔ ara, ɔsɔreeɛ, yii ne kɛtɛ kɔɔ efie. Ɔrekɔ no nyinaa na ɔreyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ.
And he immediately arose before them, took up that on which he had been lying, and went away to his own house, glorifying God.
26 Wɔn a wɔgyina hɔ no ho dwirii wɔn. Ehu kaa wɔn. Wɔyii Onyankopɔn ayɛ kaa sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ deɛ, yɛahunu anwanwadeɛ.”
And astonishment seized upon all, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying: We have seen strange things to-day.
27 Yei akyi no, Yesu firii hɔ kɔhunuu ɔtogyeni Lewi sɛ ɔte atogyeɛ. Ɔhunuu no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Bɛdi mʼakyi.”
And after these tilings, he went out and saw a publican named Levi, sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him: Follow me.
28 Ɛhɔ ara, Lewi sɔre, gyaa ne nneɛma nyinaa hɔ dii nʼakyi.
And leaving all, he arose and followed him.
29 Akyire yi, Lewi too ɛpono wɔ ne fie maa Yesu. Togyefoɔ ne nnipa ahodoɔ bebree kɔɔ apontoɔ no ase.
And Levi made him a great feast at his own house; and there was a great multitude of publicans and others, who reclined at table with them.
30 Farisifoɔ ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no hunuu sɛ Yesu ne saa nnipa no ato nsa redidi no, wɔnwiinwii bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wo ne ɔtogyefoɔ ne nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ato nsa redidi?”
And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying: Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
31 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Wɔn a wɔyare no na ɔyaresafoɔ ho hia wɔn na ɛnyɛ wɔn a wɔnyare.
And Jesus answered arid said to them: They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick.
32 Mamma sɛ merebɛfrɛ ateneneefoɔ na mmom mebɛfrɛɛ nnebɔneyɛfoɔ sɛ wɔnsakyera wɔn adwene.”
I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners, to repentance.
33 Nnipa no kɔɔ so bisaa no bio sɛ, “Adɛn enti na Yohane Osubɔni asuafoɔ ne Farisifoɔ asuafoɔ no deɛ wɔtaa di mmuada, na wʼasuafoɔ deɛ daa wɔdidi na wɔnom?”
And they said to him: Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?
34 Yesu nso bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛho hia sɛ wɔn a wɔn ani agye, anaasɛ wɔn a wɔahyia wɔn ayeforɔ ase no di mmuada, wɔ ɛberɛ a ayeforɔ kunu no wɔ wɔn nkyɛn anaa?
And he said to them: Can you make the sons of the bride-chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
35 Nanso, da bi bɛba a wɔbɛfa ayeforɔkunu no afiri wɔn nkyɛn; saa ɛberɛ no na wɔbɛdi mmuada.”
But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them; then shall they fast in those days.
36 Yesu buu wɔn bɛ yi sɛ, “Obi mmfa ntoma foforɔ ntare ntoma dada mu. Ɔyɛ saa a foforɔ no bɛma dada no asuane. Afei, ɛbɛma nsonsonoeɛ ada foforɔ no ne dada no ntam.
And he spoke also a parable to them: No one patches an old garment with a piece taken from a new garment. If so, the new tears it, and the patch from the new suits not the old.
37 Obiara nso mmfa nsã foforɔ ngu mmoa nwoma nsã nkotokuo dada mu. Ɔyɛ saa a, nsã no bɛpaapae nkotokuo no na ahwie agu na nkotokuo no nso asɛe.
And no one puts new wine into old bottles; if so, the new wine will burst the bottles, and it will be spilled, and the bottles will be destroyed.
38 Yei enti, nsã nkotokuo foforɔ mu nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsã foforɔ gugu.
But new wine must be put into new bottles, and both will be preserved.
39 Obi nnnom nsã dada nnwie mmisa nsã foforɔ ase. Deɛ ɔnom no ka sɛ, ‘dada no na ɛyɛ.’”
And no one, after drinking old wine, immediately desires new; for he says: The old is better.
