Luke 22 (ASW) · Opened

1Afei, na Yudafoɔ Apiti Afahyɛ a wɔsane frɛ no Twam Afahyɛ no abɛn.Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,

2Saa ɛberɛ no na asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no hwehwɛɛ ɛkwan a wɔbɛfa so akyere Yesu akum no, nanso ɛsiane nnipa a na wɔwɔ hɔ no enti, na wɔsuro.and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they feared the people.

3Ɔbonsam kɔwuraa Yuda a wɔfrɛ no Iskariot a ɔyɛ asuafoɔ dumienu no mu baako no mu.Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.

4Yuda kɔɔ asɔfoɔ mpanin ne Asɔredan no mu awɛmfoɔ mpanin nkyɛn ne wɔn kɔsusuu ɛkwan ko a ɔbɛfa so ayi Yesu ama wɔn no ho.And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.

5Wɔn ani gyeeɛ, penee so sɛ wɔbɛma no sika.They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

6Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Yuda hwehwɛɛ ɛkwan a ɔbɛfa so ama wɔakyere Yesu ɛberɛ a nnipa dodoɔ biara nni ne ho.Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.

7Afei, da a wɔkum Twam Afahyɛ odwan de di burodo a mmɔreka nni mu no duruiɛ no,Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.

8Yesu somaa Petro ne Yohane sɛ, “Monkɔyɛ Twam Afahyɛ aduane a yɛbɛdi no.”Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”

9Wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Ɛhe na wopɛ sɛ yɛkɔyɛ aduane no?”“Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked.

10Ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ moduru kuro no mu a, mobɛhunu obi a wakɔ asuo reba. Monni nʼakyi nkɔ efie a ɔbɛkɔ mu no muHe answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

11na mommisa efiewura no sɛ, ‘Yɛn ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ se ɛhe na woasiesie ama ɔne nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ wɔmmɛdi Twam Afahyɛ aduane no?’and say to the owner of that house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

12Ɔde mo bɛkɔ abansoro asa kɛseɛ bi a wɔasiesie mu fɛfɛɛfɛ so. Ɛhɔ na monkɔto ɛpono no.”And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.”

13Wɔkɔɔ kuro no mu no, wɔhunuu sɛdeɛ Yesu kaeɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ ma wɔyɛɛ Twam Afahyɛ aduane no wɔ hɔ.So they went and found it just as Jesus had told them. And they prepared the Passover.

14Ɛberɛ no duruiɛ no, Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no kɔtenatenaa adidipono no ho.When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.

15Wɔtete hɔ no, Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mepɛɛ sɛ me ne mo bɛtena ase, ato nsa adi saa Twam Afahyɛ aduane yi, ansa na mahunu amane no akyɛre.And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.

16Mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, saa adidie yi akyi no, merenni Twam Afahyɛ aduane yi bio kɔsi sɛ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no bɛba.”For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17Afei Yesu faa kuruwa, daa Onyankopɔn ase na ɔde maa nʼasuafoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Monnye na obiara nnom bi.After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.

18Mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, merennom bobesa yi bi bio kɔsi sɛ Onyankopɔn Ahennie no bɛba.”For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”

19Afei, ɔfaa burodo daa Onyankopɔn ase, bubuu mu de maa nʼasuafoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Yei ne me onipadua a mede rema mo. Monnye nni. Ɛda biara a mobɛdi saa burodo yi bi no, momfa nkae me.”And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

20Saa ara nso na adidie no akyi no, ɔfaa kuruwa kaa sɛ, “Kuruwa yi ne me mogya a merehwie agu ama mo sɛ apam foforɔ a wɔnam so bɛgye mo nkwa.In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.

21Nanso, mo a mo ne me te adidiiɛ ha yi mu baako na ɔbɛyi me ama.Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.

22Ɛtwa sɛ Onipa Ba no wu, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ahyehyɛ no, nanso deɛ ɔbɛyi no ama no deɛ, ɔnnue.”Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined, but woe to that man who betrays Him.”

23Asuafoɔ no bisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho, pɛɛ sɛ wɔhunu wɔn mu deɛ ɔbɛyi no ama no.Then they began to question among themselves which of them was going to do this.

24Asuafoɔ no gyee wɔn ho akyinnyeɛ pɛɛ sɛ wɔhunu wɔn mu deɛ ɔbɛyɛ kɛseɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie a ɛbɛba no mu.A dispute also arose among the disciples as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

25Yesu teeɛ no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ewiase deɛ, atumfoɔ hyɛ wɔn a wɔdi wɔn so no so ma wɔn nso a wɔhyɛ wɔn so no nso bu wɔn sɛ wɔn adɛɛfoɔ.So Jesus declared, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them call themselves benefactors.

26Nanso, mo deɛ, deɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ mo so panin no nyɛ sɛ mo mu akumaa, na deɛ ɔdi mo so no nso nyɛ mo mu ɔsomfoɔ.But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.

27Merebisa mo sɛ, nnipa baanu yi mu hwan na ɔdi ne yɔnko so, deɛ ɔte adidipono ho anaa deɛ ɔsom deɛ ɔte adidipono no ho no? Nanso, me deɛ, mewɔ mo mu sɛ mo ɔsomfoɔ.For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.

28Me ne mo na afa ɔhaw ne amaneɛ mu a, moda so ne me nam.You are the ones who have stood by Me in My trials.

29Mʼagya de Ahennie no ama me. Saa ara nso na mede rema mo.And I bestow on you a kingdom, just as My Father has bestowed one on Me,

30Na mo ne me ato nsa adidi, na moatumi abu Israel mmusuakuo dumienu no atɛn.”so that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

31Afei, Awurade kaa sɛ, “Simon, Simon! Monhwɛ yie na ɔbonsam pɛ sɛ ɔsɔ mo hwɛ.Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you like wheat.

32Nanso, wo Simon deɛ, masrɛ ama wo, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wobɛkɔ so agye me adi. Sɛ wonu wo ho sane ba me nkyɛn a, hyɛ wo nuanom no gyidie mu den.”But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

33Petro buaa no sɛ, “Awurade, ɛyɛ me pɛ sɛ me ne wo bɛda afiase, na sɛ ɛyɛ owu mpo nso a, me ne wo bɛwu.”“Lord,” said Peter, “I am ready to go with You even to prison and to death.”

34Yesu nso buaa no sɛ, “Petro, mereka akyerɛ wo sɛ, ɛnnɛ akokɔ remmɔn na woapa me mprɛnsa.”But Jesus replied, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me.”

35Afei, Yesu bisaa nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛberɛ a mesomaa mo a na monkura sikabɔtɔ anaa akwantubɔtɔ na monhyɛ mpaboa no, biribi ho hiaa mo anaa?” Asuafoɔ no buaa no sɛ, “Dabi, biribiara ho anhia yɛn.”Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.

36Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Afei deɛ, deɛ ɔwɔ sika no, ɔmfa; deɛ ɔwɔ akwantubɔtɔ no nso, ɔmfa. Deɛ ɔnni akofena no ntɔn ne ntoma mfa nkɔtɔ bi.“Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.

37Na berɛ aduru sɛ, nkɔm a wɔhyɛ faa me ho sɛ, ‘Wɔbɛkan no afra nnebɔneyɛfoɔ mu’ no bɛba mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ nkɔm biara a wɔahyɛ afa me ho no ba mu.”For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”

38Asuafoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Awurade, yɛwɔ akofena mmienu wɔ ha.” Yesu buaeɛ sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, ɛno ara dɔɔso.”So they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” He answered.

39Yesu ne nʼasuafoɔ no firii kuro no mu kɔɔ Ngo Bepɔ no so sɛdeɛ ɔtaa yɛ no, na nʼasuafoɔ no ka ne ho.Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.

40Wɔduruu hɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no sɛ, “Mommɔ mpaeɛ na moankɔ sɔhwɛ mu.”When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

41Afei, ɔtwee ne ho firii asuafoɔ no ho kɔɔ nkyɛn baabi kɔkotoeɛ, bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ,And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,

42“Agya, sɛ ɛyɛ wo pɛ a, ma saa amanehunu a ɛreba me so yi ntwa me ho nkɔ, nanso ɛnyɛ deɛ mepɛ, na deɛ wopɛ na ɛnyɛ”“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

43Ɔgu so rebɔ mpaeɛ no, ɔbɔfoɔ firi ɔsoro bɛhyɛɛ no den.Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.

44Esiane sɛ na Yesu ho yera no wɔ Honhom mu no enti, ɔmaa ne mpaeɛbɔ mu yɛɛ den maa ne ho fifire yɛɛ sɛ mogya ntowantowa sosɔ guu fam.And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45Mpaeɛbɔ no akyi no, ɔkɔɔ asuafoɔ no nkyɛn kɔtoo wɔn sɛ awerɛhoɔ ne ɔbrɛ enti, wɔadeda.When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

46Ɔkɔtoo wɔn sɛ wɔadeda no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Hwɛ! Moadeda? Monsɔre na mommɔ mpaeɛ na moankɔ sɔhwɛ mu.”“Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”

47Yesu gu so rekasa no, nnipadɔm bi a Yuda Iskariot a ɔyɛ asuafoɔ dumienu no mu baako di wɔn anim, baa ne so. Yuda Iskariot twe bɛn Yesu yɛɛ no atuu.While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

48Yesu bisaa no sɛ, “Yuda, ɔdɔ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ yi so na wonam reyi Onipa Ba no ama?”But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49Ɛberɛ a asuafoɔ a wɔwɔ ne ho no hunuu deɛ ɛreba no, wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, yɛntwitwa wɔn akofena anaa?”Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”

50Asuafoɔ no mu baako twaa Ɔsɔfopanin no ɔsomfoɔ no aso nifa.And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51Yesu ampɛ deɛ osuani no yɛeɛ no enti, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnyae deɛ mopɛ sɛ moyɛ no.” Ɔfaa ɔsomfoɔ no aso no de taree hɔ bio.But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52Yesu bisaa asɔfoɔ mpanin ne asɔredan sohwɛfoɔ mpanin ne Yudafoɔ mpanimfoɔ ne asomfoɔ a wɔbaa ne so no sɛ, “Meyɛ odwotwafoɔ na mode akofena ne nkontimmaa aba me so?Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw?

53Ɛberɛ a na me ne mo wɔ asɔredan mu no, moankye me; afei na mo berɛ aso a ɔbonsam nam ne tumi so reyɛ adwuma ampa.”Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”

54Afei, wɔkyeree Yesu de no kɔɔ Ɔsɔfopanin efie. Ɛberɛ a wɔde no rekɔ no, Petro gyee ne ho kaa akyi.Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

55Petro duruu Ɔsɔfopanin no efie hɔ no, na asraafoɔ no asɔ ogya wɔ adihɔ hɔ a wɔreto; ɔno nso kɔtoo bi.When those present had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down among them.

56Abaayewa bi hunuu Petro sɛ ɔreto ogya no bi no, ɔhwɛɛ no dinn kaa sɛ, “Saa ɔbarima yi yɛ Yesu akyidifoɔ no mu baako.”A servant girl saw him seated in the firelight and looked intently at him. “This man also was with Him,” she said.

57Petro sanee sɛ, “Awuraa, mennim saa ɔbarima yi baabiara.”But Peter denied it. “Woman, I do not know Him,” he said.

58Ankyɛre koraa na obi foforɔ nso hunuu no kaa sɛ, “Woyɛ nʼakyidifoɔ no mu baako.” Petro buaa no sɛ, “Dabi, menka wɔn ho.”A short time later, someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of them.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.”

59Ɛbɛyɛ dɔnhwereɛ akyi no, obi foforɔ nso sane hunuu no ka sii so dua sɛ, “Akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ saa damfo yi ka Yesu asuafoɔ no ho, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno nso yɛ Galileani, na ne kasa koraa da no adi.”About an hour later, another man insisted, “Certainly this man was with Him, for he too is a Galilean.”

60Petro sanee ne mprɛnsa so sɛ, “Owura, asɛm a woreka yi nyɛ nokorɛ.” Nʼano ansi koraa na akokɔ bɔneeɛ.“Man, I do not know what you are talking about,” Peter replied. And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu na Yesu twaa nʼani hwɛɛ Petro anim. Ɛhɔ ara na Petro kaee asɛm a Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ, akokɔ remmɔn na woapa me mprɛnsa” no,And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word that the Lord had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”

62Petro de awerɛhoɔ firii adi kɔsuiɛ.And he went outside and wept bitterly.

63Mmarima a na wɔrewɛn Yesu no dii ne ho fɛw, kyekyeree nʼani, bobɔɔ no,The men who were holding Jesus began to mock Him and beat Him.

64sane bisaa no sɛ, “Odiyifoɔ, hwan na ɔbɔɔ wo? Kyerɛ yɛn.”They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”

65Wɔkɔɔ so yeyaa no kaa abususɛm ahodoɔ guu ne so.And they said many other blasphemous things against Him.

66Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, Yudafoɔ mpanin ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no hyiaeɛ maa wɔde Yesu baa wɔn animAt daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and scribes, met together. They led Jesus into their Sanhedrin and said,

67bisaa no sɛ, “Sɛ wone Kristo no a, ka kyerɛ yɛn.” Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ meka sɛ mene Kristo no a, morennye nni,“If You are the Christ, tell us.” Jesus answered, “If I tell you, you will not believe.

68na sɛ mebisa mo nso a, moremmua me.And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.

69Na ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ yi mobɛhunu Onipa Ba no sɛ ɔte Onyame Otumfoɔ no nifa so.”But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

70Ɔkaa saa no, wɔn nyinaa bisaa no bio sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ na wone Onyankopɔn Ba no anaa?” Ɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Deɛ moreka no yɛ nokorɛ.”So they all asked, “Are You then the Son of God?” He replied, “You say that I am.”

71Yei ma wɔkaa sɛ, “Adanseɛ bɛn na ɛhia yɛn bio? Yɛate afiri ɔno ankasa anom.”“Why do we need any more testimony?” they declared. “We have heard it for ourselves from His own lips.”
