Luka 8
1 Yei akyi no, Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ dumienu no kyinkyinii Galilea nkuro ne nkuraa bi ase kaa Onyankopɔn Ahennie no ho asɛm.
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve [were] with him,
2 Ɔrekɔ no, nnipa a na wɔdi nʼakyi no bi ne Maria Magdalene a ɔtuu ahonhommɔne nson firii ne mu no,
And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 ne Yohana a ɔyɛ Kusa, Herode efie sohwɛfoɔ panin yere, ne Susana. Saa mmaa yi ne afoforɔ bi na wɔfiri wɔn ahonya mu hwɛɛ Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ.
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
4 Ɛda bi a nnipa bebree bi firi nkuro nkuro so baa ne nkyɛn no, ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn abɛbuo mu sɛ,
And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
5 “Ɛda bi, okuafoɔ bi kɔɔ nʼafuom kɔguu aba. Ɔguiɛ no, aba no bi kɔguu ɛkwan mu maa nnipa tiatiaa so na nnomaa bɛsosɔeɛ.
A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 Ebi nso kɔguu abotan so, enti ɛfifiriiɛ no, ankyɛre na ne nyinaa hyeeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, annya nsuo.
And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
7 Aba no bi nso kɔguu nkasɛɛ mu. Ɛfifiriiɛ no, nkasɛɛ no kyekyeree no na ɛwuiɛ.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
8 Ebi nso kɔguu asase pa mu, ɛnyiniiɛ, soo aba mmɔho ɔha.” Na ɔkaa yei no, ɔka kaa ho sɛ, “Deɛ ɔwɔ aso a ɔbɛtie no, ɔntie.”
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Na nʼasuafoɔ no bisaa no saa abɛbuo yi ase no,
And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
10 ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Mo deɛ, wɔde Onyankopɔn Ahennie ho ahintasɛm ama mo, na afoforɔ deɛ, wɔkasa kyerɛ wɔn abɛbuo mu, “‘sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛhwɛ, nanso wɔrenhunu na wɔbɛte, nanso wɔrente aseɛ.’
And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
11 “Afei, abɛbuo no asekyerɛ ni. Aba no ne Onyankopɔn asɛm.
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Aba a ɛguu ɛkwan mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔate Onyankopɔn asɛm no na ɔbonsam bɛhwim firi wɔn akoma mu, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔrennye nni na wɔrennya nkwagyeɛ.
Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 Aba a ɛguu abotan so no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte asɛm no na wɔde anigyeɛ sɔ mu, nanso ɛntim wɔn mu. Na ɛsiane wɔn gyidie a ɛsua no enti, ɛnkyɛre na asɛm no awu. Na sɛ sɔhwɛ ba wɔn so a, wɔpa aba.
They on the rock [are they], which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
14 Aba a ɛguu nkasɛɛ mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔte Onyankopɔn asɛm, na wɔdi so, nanso asetena mu haw ne abɛbrɛsɛ, ahonya ne ewiase afɛfɛdeɛ enti, asɛm no ntumi nyɛ wɔn mu adwuma sɛdeɛ ɛsɛ.
And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 Aba a ɛguu asase pa mu no gyina hɔ ma wɔn a wɔde akoma pa tie asɛmpa no, na wɔdi so, gyina pintinn de abrabɔ pa di ho adanseɛ.
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep [it], and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 “Obi nsɔ kanea na ɔmfa kɛntɛn mmutu so, anaa ɔmfa nhyɛ mpa ase na mmom, ɔde si kaneadua so na ahyerɛn ama wɔn a wɔba mu no.
No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth [it] under a bed; but setteth [it] on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
17 Deɛ ahinta no bɛda adi, na deɛ ɛwɔ kɔkoam no nso ada dwa.
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither [any thing] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
18 Enti deɛ motie no, montie no yie. Obiara a ɔwɔ no wɔbɛma no pii aka ho, na deɛ ɔnni ahe bi no, deɛ ɔsusu sɛ ɛyɛ ne dea no mpo, wɔbɛgye afiri ne nsam.”
Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
19 Ɛda bi, Yesu maame ne ne nuanom pɛɛ sɛ wɔne no kasa, nanso ɛsiane nnipakuo a na wɔatwa ne ho ahyia no enti, wɔantumi ne no ankasa.
Then came to him [his] mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
20 Obi kɔka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ ne maame ne ne nuanom gyina nkyɛn hɔ baabi rehwehwɛ no.
And it was told him [by certain] which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Me maame ne me nuanom ne wɔn a wɔtie Onyankopɔn asɛm na wɔdi so.”
And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
22 Ɛda bi a Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ te kodoɔ mu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momma yɛntwa nkɔ asuogya nohoa.” Wɔsiim a wɔrekɔ no,
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 Yesu daeɛ. Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu, mframa a ano yɛ den bi bɔ maa nsuo bɛtaa kodoɔ no mu maa kodoɔ no yɛɛ sɛ ɛremem. Yei maa asuafoɔ no akoma tuu yie.
But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled [with water], and were in jeopardy.
24 Asuafoɔ no de hu ne nteateam nyanee no sɛ, “Awurade, Awurade, yɛremem!” Amonom hɔ ara, Yesu sɔre teateaa mframa a ano yɛ den ne asorɔkye no ma ɛyɛɛ dinn.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 Afei, ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn na monni gyidie?” Wɔn nyinaa suroeɛ de ahodwirie bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ. “Onipa bɛn ni a mframa a ano yɛ den ne asorɔkye mpo tie no yi?”
And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
26 Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no twaa ɛpo no bɛduruu Gerasefoɔ asase a ɛne Galilea di nhwɛanimu no so.
And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
27 Yesu firii kodoɔ no mu sii fam pɛ, ɔbarima bi a ahonhommɔne ahyɛ no ma akyɛre a ɔda adagya na ɔnte efie, na mmom ɔte amusieeɛ a aboda mu na ɔdeda no bɛhyiaa no.
And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in [any] house, but in the tombs.
28 Ɔhunuu Yesu no, ɔteaam, kotoo ne nan ase sane teateaam sɛ, “Yesu, Ɔsorosoro Onyankopɔn Ba, ɛdeɛn na wo ne me wɔ yɛ? Mesrɛ wo, nyɛ me ayayadeɛ biara.”
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, [thou] Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29 Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi, ɛfiri sɛ, na Yesu ateatea ahonhommɔne no sɛ wɔmfiri ne mu. Saa ahonhommɔne yi taa ka no na sɛ wɔde ahoma kyekyere ne nsa ne ne nan mpo a, ɔtumi tete mu ma ahonhommɔne no pam no kɔ wiram.
(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
30 Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Wo din de sɛn?” Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Ɛdɔm.” Ɛfiri sɛ na ahonhommɔne ahyɛ no ma.
And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep. (Abyssos g12)
32 Saa ɛberɛ no mu na mprako bi redidi wɔ bepɔ no nkyɛn mu baabi. Ahohommɔne no srɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔmma wɔn ho ɛkwan na wɔnkɔwura mprako no mu. Na ɔmaa wɔn ho kwan.
And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
33 Enti ahonhommɔne no firii ɔbarima no mu kɔwuraa mprako no mu ma wɔbɔɔ kiridi, sianee bepɔ no kɔguu ɔtadeɛ no mu wuwuiɛ.
Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
34 Wɔn a wɔhwɛ mprako no so no hunuu deɛ asi no, wɔde hu ne ahopopoɔ tutuu mmirika kɔbɔɔ amaneɛ wɔ kurom maa asɛm no trɛeɛ wɔ mpɔtam hɔ nyinaa.
When they that fed [them] saw what was done, they fled, and went and told [it] in the city and in the country.
35 Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm no bɔɔ twi kɔhwɛɛ deɛ asi. Wɔduruu deɛ Yesu wɔ no, wɔhunuu ɔbarima no sɛ ne ho atɔ no a ɔfira ntoma te Yesu nkyɛn. Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwirii wɔn.
Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
36 Na wɔn a wɔhunuu ɛkwan a Yesu faa so saa ɔbarima no yadeɛ no bɔɔ wɔn a wɔbaa hɔ no amaneɛ.
They also which saw [it] told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
37 Ehu hyɛɛ Gerasefoɔ a na wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa ma ma wɔsrɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔmfiri wɔn nkyɛn hɔ nkɔ. Yei enti, Yesu kɔtenaa kodoɔ no mu sane tware kɔɔ asuogya hɔ nohoa.
Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
38 Ansa na Yesu rebɛfiri hɔ no, ɔbarima a ɔtuu ahonhommɔne firii ne mu no srɛɛ no sɛ ɔne no bɛkɔ. Nanso, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ,
Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 “Kɔ na kɔdi deɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ ama wo no ho adanseɛ kyerɛ wo manfoɔ.” Ɔbarima no firii hɔ kɔdii anwanwadeɛ a Yesu ayɛ ama no no ho adanseɛ kyerɛɛ kurom hɔfoɔ nyinaa.
Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
40 Yesu duruu asuogya hɔ no, nnipakuo no de anigyeɛ hyiaa no kwan, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔatwɛn no abrɛ.
And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people [gladly] received him: for they were all waiting for him.
41 Ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Yairo a na ɔyɛ Yudafoɔ hyiadan mu panin baa ne nkyɛn, bɛbuu no nkotodwe, srɛɛ no sɛ, ɔne no nkɔ ne fie
And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:
42 na ne babaa korɔ a wadi bɛyɛ mfeɛ dumienu reyɛ awu. Ɛberɛ a Yesu rekɔ no na nnipakuo no kyere ne so.
For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
43 Ɔbaa bi a mogya atu no mfirinhyia dumienu a obiara ntumi nsa no yadeɛ no,
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 firii Yesu akyi sɔɔ nʼatadeɛ ano. Amonom hɔ ara, mogya a ɛtu no no twaeɛ.
Came behind [him], and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
45 Yesu bisaa sɛ, “Hwan na ɔsɔɔ mʼatadeɛ ano no?” Obiara buaa sɛ, ɛnyɛ ɔno. Yei maa Petro kaa sɛ, “Awurade, na sɛ nnipa no akyere wo so.”
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press [thee], and sayest thou, Who touched me?
46 Yesu buaa no sɛ, “Dabi, obi asɔ mʼatadeɛ mu ɛfiri sɛ, mete nka sɛ tumi bi afiri me mu.”
And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
47 Ɔbaa no hunuu sɛ ɔhinta a ɛrenyɛ yie, ɛno enti, ɔde hu ne ahopopoɔ bɛbuu Yesu nkotodwe wɔ nnipa no nyinaa anim, kyerɛɛ no deɛ enti a ɔsɔɔ ne mu ne sɛdeɛ ne ho atɔ no no.
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Me ba, wo gyidie ama wo ho ayɛ wo den. Fa asomdwoeɛ kɔ.”
And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
49 Yesu gu so rekasa no, obi firi Yairo efie bɛka kyerɛɛ Yairo sɛ, “Wo babaa no anya awu enti nha Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no bio.”
While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s [house], saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
50 Yesu tee asɛm no, ɔsee Yairo sɛ, “Nsuro, gye di, na wo babaa no bɛnyane anya nkwa.”
But when Jesus heard [it], he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
51 Ɔduruu efie hɔ no, wamma obiara anka ne ho ankɔ ɛdan a abɔfra no da mu no mu gye Petro, Yohane, Yakobo ne abɔfra no awofoɔ nko ara.
And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
52 Na nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa resu, di awerɛhoɔ. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnsu, ɔnwuiɛ na wada.”
And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
53 Wɔseree no dii ne ho fɛw, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔn deɛ, wɔnim pefee sɛ wawu.
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
54 Yesu sɔɔ ne nsa ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Me ba, sɔre!”
And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
55 Amonom hɔ ara, ɔsɔreeɛ na Yesu kaa sɛ wɔmma no biribi nni.
And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
56 Nʼawofoɔ no ho dwirii wɔn yie nanso Yesu bɔɔ wɔn ano sɛ, wɔnnka deɛ asi no nkyerɛ obiara.
And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
