¹Yesu nam mmebu so kyerɛɛ nnipa no se: “Da bi, okuafo bi yɛɛ mmɛfuw, gyee ban faa ho, na otuu amoa bi a wokyi ngo wɔ mu, na osii dan maa nea ɔwɛn afuw no. Afei, ɔde afuw no gyaw akuafo bi na otuu kwan. ² Eduu bere a mmɛ no beree a ɛsɛ sɛ wonu no, ɔsomaa ne ho nnipa bi sɛ ɔnkogye ne kyɛfa mmrɛ no. ³ Nanso, akuafo no boroo no, ma ɔde ne nsa pan san kɔe.

⁷ “Nanso, bere a akuafo no huu no sɛ ɔreba no, wɔkae se, ‘Ɔdedifo no na ɔreba no. Momma yenkum no, na agyapade no ayɛ yɛn de!’ ⁸ Wɔkyeree no, kum no, twee no kɔtow no kyenee baabi.

⁹ “Mugye di sɛ, sɛ afuw wura no ba a dɛn na ɔbɛyɛ akuafo no? Ɔbɛba abekum wɔn, na ɔde afuw no ama nnipa foforo. ¹⁰ Monkan eyi wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm no mu pɛn sɛ: ‘Ɔbo a adansifo apo no, ɛno ara na abɛyɛ tweatibo. ¹¹ Awurade na ɔmaa eyi bae, na ɛyɛ nwonwa wɔ yɛn ani so.’ “

¹² Na esiane saa bɛ a obui no nti, Yudafo mpanyin no pɛe sɛ wɔkyere no, efisɛ, wohui sɛ wɔn ho asɛm na ɔreka no a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, wɔne saa akuafo atirimɔdenfo no. Nanso na wosuro dɔm no. Eyi ma wogyaa no, na wɔfii hɔ kɔe.

Nea onipa ka no ntumi nnan w’adwene. Afei wokyerɛkyerɛ nnipa Onyankopɔn akwan. Yɛpɛ sɛ yebisa wo se, eye sɛ woyi tow ma Roma Hempɔn Kaesare anaa enye?”

¹⁶ Wɔde maa no no, obisaa wɔn se, “Hena mfonini ne nkyerɛw na ɛwɔ so?” Wobuae se, “Ɔhempɔn no de.”

¹⁷ Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛnne momfa ne de mma no, na momfa Onyankopɔn de mma Oyankopɔn!” Ne mmuae no maa wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn.

Owusɔre ho asɛmmisa

¹⁸ Afei Sadukifo a wɔka se owusɔre nni hɔ no, baa ne nkyɛn bebisaa no se,

¹⁹ “Kyerɛkyerɛfo, Mose yɛɛ mmara maa yɛn se, sɛ ɔbarima bi anwo na owu a, ne nuabarima mfa ne yere no kunabea na ɔne no nwo mma mma owufo no. ²⁰ Anuanom baason bi tenaa ase.

²³ “Nea yɛpɛ sɛ yehu ne sɛ, owusɔre no mu, sɛ wonya sɔre a, wɔn mu hena na ɔbea no bɛyɛ ne yere?”

²⁴ Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Mo mfomso a moyɛ no fi onim a munnim Kyerɛwsɛm no, ne Onyankopɔn tumi a ɔwɔ.

²⁵ Sɛ anuanom baason yi ne ɔbea no sɔre fi awufo mu a, wɔrenware; wɔbɛyɛ sɛ abɔfo a wɔwɔ soro no.

²⁶ “Afei ɛfa awufo nyan no ho no nso, monkanee Mose nhoma no mu asɛm a ɛfa Mose ne wura a na ɛrehyew no ho da? Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, ‘Mene Abraham Nyankopɔn, Isak Nyankopɔn ne Yakob Nyankopɔn.’

²⁹ Yesu buaa no se, “Nea ɛkyɛn ne nyinaa ne nea ɛka se, ‘Israel, tie! Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Awurade koro; ³⁰ na dɔ Awurade wo Nyankopɔn fi wo koma ne wo kra ne w’adwene ne w’ahoɔden nyinaa mu,’ no.
