Marko 1
1 Asɛmpa a ɛfa Yesu Kristo, Onyankopɔn Ba no ho no, ahyɛaseɛ nie.
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2 Wɔatwerɛ wɔ Odiyifoɔ Yesaia nwoma no mu sɛ, “Mɛsoma me ɔbɔfoɔ adi wʼanim ɛkan. Ɔno na ɔbɛsiesie ɛkwan ama wo.”
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 “Nne bi reteam firi ɛserɛ so sɛ, ‘Monsiesie ɛkwan mma Awurade, mommɔ akwan a ɛtene mma no.’”
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 Enti Yohane ba bɛbɔɔ asu wɔ ɛserɛ so, ɔkaa adwensakyera asubɔ a ɛma bɔnefakyɛ ho asɛm.
John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5 Nnipa fifiri Yerusalem ne Yudea nkuro so kɔhunuu Yohane, tiee no. Na wɔkaa wɔn bɔne kyerɛɛ no no, ɔbɔɔ wɔn asu wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu.
And there went out unto him all the land of Judæa, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Na Yohane hyɛ atadeɛ a wɔde yoma nhoma na apam a aboa nhoma abɔsoɔ nso bɔ mu. Na nʼaduane yɛ ntutummɛ ne ɛwoɔ.
And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
7 Ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no mu, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛrenkyɛre koraa, obi bɛba a ɔwɔ tumi sene me a, ne mpaboa ahoma mpo, mensɛ sɛ mekoto mesane.
And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8 Me deɛ, mede nsuo na ɛbɔ mo asu, na ɔno deɛ, ɔde Honhom Kronkron na ɛbɛbɔ mo asu!”
I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9 Ɛda bi, Yesu firii Nasaret a ɛwɔ Galileaman mu ba maa Yohane bɔɔ no asu wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu.
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10 Yesu firi nsuo no mu sii konkɔn so ara pɛ, ɔhunuu sɛ ɔsoro abue, na Honhom Kronkron resiane sɛ aborɔnoma aba ne so. Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu,
And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
11 ɛnne bi firi ɔsoro kaa sɛ, “Wone me Dɔ Ba a wosɔ mʼani.”
And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 Ɛhɔ ara, Honhom Kronkron de Yesu kɔɔ ɛserɛ so.
And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
13 Ɔtenaa hɔ adaduanan a na obiara nka ne ho ka wiram mmoa nko ara. Ɛhɔ na ɔbonsam sɔɔ no hwɛeɛ. Akyire yi, abɔfoɔ ba bɛsom no.
And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
14 Ɔhene Herode kyeree Yohane akyi no, Yesu kɔɔ Galilea kɔkaa asɛmpa no wɔ hɔ.
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛberɛ no awie du! Onyankopɔn Ahennie no abɛn. Monnu mo ho na monnye asɛmpa no nni!”
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
16 Ɛda bi a Yesu nam Galilea mpoano no, ɔhunuu Simon ne ne nua Andrea sɛ wɔregu asau.
Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
17 Yesu frɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mommɛdi mʼakyi! Na mɛma mo ayɛ nnipayifoɔ.”
And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 Ɛhɔ ara, wɔgyaa wɔn asau no guu hɔ bɛdii nʼakyi.
And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
19 Ɔkɔɔ nʼanim kakra no, ɔhunuu Sebedeo mma baanu a wɔfrɛ ɔbaako Yohane, ɛnna ɔbaako nso Yakobo, sɛ wɔte kodoɔ mu reyɛ wɔn asau ho adwuma.
And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
20 Ɔfrɛɛ wɔn nso sɛ wɔmmɛdi nʼakyi. Ntɛm ara, wɔgyaa wɔn agya Sebedeo ne nʼapaafoɔ hɔ wɔ kodoɔ no mu bɛdii nʼakyi.
And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 Yesu ne nʼakyidifoɔ yi bɛduruu Kapernaum. Na Homeda duruiɛ no, ɔkɔɔ asɔredan mu kɔkaa asɛmpa no.
And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
22 Nnipa no tee asɛm no no, wɔn ho dwirii wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔkasaa te sɛ obi a ɔwɔ tumi, na mmom wankasa sɛ Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no.
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Amonom hɔ ara, ɔbarima bi a ɔwɔ wɔn hyiadan no mu hɔ a ɔwɔ honhommɔne teaam mu sɛ,
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 “Ɛdeɛn na wo Nasareni Yesu ne yɛn wɔ yɛ? Woaba sɛ worebɛsɛe yɛn anaa? Menim wo sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba Kronkronni no!”
Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 Yesu teateaa honhommɔne no sɛ, “Mua wʼano! Firi ne mu kɔ!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 Honhommɔne no wosoo saa ɔbarima no, ma ɔteateaam den na ɛtu kɔeɛ.
And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27 Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwirii wɔn, ma wɔbisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ. “Nkyerɛkyerɛ foforɔ bɛn ni? Ahonhommɔne mpo tie ne nne!”
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine [is] this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
28 Saa anwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛeɛ yi ho nsɛm trɛ faa Galileaman mu nyinaa.
And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
29 Wɔfirii hyiadan no mu no, wɔne Yakobo ne Yohane kɔɔ Simon ne Andrea efie.
And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Na Simon ase baa ɛda mpa so a huraeɛ akyere no, na wɔkaa ne ho asɛm kyerɛɛ Yesu.
But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
31 Yesu kɔɔ baabi a ɔda hɔ, kɔsɔɔ ne nsa, ma ɔsɔre tenaa ase. Ɛhɔ ara, huraeɛ no tu firii ne so. Ɔsɔre noaa aduane maa wɔn.
And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32 Ɛduruu anwummerɛ no, nnipa no de ayarefoɔ ne wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonhommɔne brɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔnsa wɔn yadeɛ.
And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
33 Kuro mu no nyinaa bɛboaa wɔn ho ano wɔ efie no aboboano,
And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34 na Yesu saa ayarefoɔ bebree yadeɛ. Ɔtuu ahonhommɔne bebree nso. Nanso, wamma ahonhommɔne no ankasa, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔnim no.
And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
35 Ahemadakye a na ɛnim nteteeɛ no, Yesu sɔre firii efie hɔ kɔɔ baabi a ɛhɔ yɛ dinn, kɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ wɔ hɔ.
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 Simon ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho firii adi kɔhwehwɛɛ no,
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
37 na wɔhunuu no no, wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nnipa bebree rehwehwɛ wo.”
And when they had found him, they said unto him, All [men] seek for thee.
38 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkɔ nkuro a aka no so, na mekɔka mʼasɛm kyerɛ wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛno enti na mebaeɛ.”
And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
39 Enti, ɔkɔɔ Galileaman mu baabiara kɔkaa asɛmpa no wɔ asɔredan mu, tuu ahonhommɔne bebree nso.
And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
40 Ɔkwatani bi bɛkotoo no srɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ ɛyɛ wo pɛ a, wobɛtumi ama me ho ate.”
And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Yesu hunuu ɔkwatani no mmɔbɔ, enti ɔde ne nsa kaa no kaa sɛ, “Mepɛ! Wo ho mfi!”
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth [his] hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
42 Amonom hɔ ara, ne ho teeɛ, maa ne ho tɔɔ no!
And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Yesu bɔɔ nʼano dendeenden sɛ,
And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
44 “Nka saa asɛm yi nkyerɛ obiara, na mmom, fa wo ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfoɔ. Sɛ worekɔ a, fa wʼafɔrebɔdeɛ a Mose ahyɛ sɛ akwatafoɔ a wɔasa wɔn yadeɛ mfa nka wɔn ho nkɔ no ka wo ho kɔ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma obiara ahunu sɛ wo ho atɔ wo bio.”
And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
45 Nanso, ɔrekorɔ no nyinaa, na ɔde nteateamu rebɔ nʼayaresa no ho dawuro. Esiane yei enti, sɛ Yesu kɔ baabiara a, nnipadɔm bɛtwa ne ho hyia. Ɛno enti, afei baabiara a ɔbɛkɔ no, ɔnnyi ne ho adi. Enti, ɔtenaa ɛserɛ so hɔ maa nnipa bebree baa ne nkyɛn wɔ hɔ.
But he went out, and began to publish [it] much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
