13 Se Yesu de mɛ ke, "Nyɛ nitsɛmɛ nyɛ ha mɛ ni." Kaseli ɔmɛ ha lɛ heto nɛ a de ke, "Abolo enyɔ kɛ lo enyɔ pɛ ji niye ni nɛ wɔ nitsɛmɛ wa hɛɛ nɛ wa maa ye.

19 A de lɛ ke, "Nihi ngɛ dee ke Yohane Baptisilɔ ɔ ji mo; nɛ nihi hu ngɛ dee ke o maa pee Elia loo blema gbali ɔmɛ eko nɛ te si kɛ je gbeje."

20 Jehanɛ ɔ e bi mɛ ke, "Mɛnɔ nɛ nyɛɛ lɛɛ nyɛ susu kaa i ji?" Petro ha lɛ heto nɛ e de ke, "Mo ji Mesia a, Mawu e Kristo ɔ nɛ."

21 E bɔ mɛ kɔkɔ ke a ko de nɛ nɔ ko nɛ e nu. Nɛ e ya nɔ nɛ e de mɛ ke, 22 "Nɔmlɔ Bi ɔ maa na nisɛ ni a ni; nɛ Yuda bi ɔmɛ a nikɔtɔma amɛ kɛ osɔfo nikɔtɔma amɛ kɛ mlaa tsɔɔli ɔmɛ ma kua lɛ, nɛ a maa gbe lɛ. Se ligbi etɛ se ɔ, e maa te si ekohu."

28 E tu munyu nɛ ɔmɛ se ligbi kpaanyɔ nɛ e tsɛ Petro kɛ Yakobo kɛ Yohane ngɔ piɛ e he nɛ a ho yoku ko nɔ ya nɛ e ya sɔle. 29 Nɛ benɛ e ngɛ sɔlee ɔ, e hɛ mi bɔni tsakemi, nɛ tade nɛ e wo ɔ bɔni peemi futaa hluu kɛ ya si e bɔni la pomi. 30 Kɛkɛ benɛ a maa hyɛ ɔ, a na nihi enyɔ, Mose kɛ Elia ba je kpo nɛ a kɛ lɛ ngɛ munyu tue. 31 Mɛ hu a he pee fɛu saminya, nɛ a ji anunyami nimli; nɛ a kɛ lɛ ngɛ gbenɔ nɛ e ma ya gbo ngɛ Yerusalem, ngɛ Mawu yi mi tomi ɔ nya a, he munyu tue.

34 Se Petro nya nɔɛ si nɛ bɔ kuu ko ba ha mɛ tsuo a nɔ, nɛ gbeye nu mɛ. 35 Kɛkɛ nɛ gbi ko pɛ kɛ je bɔ kuu ɔ mi ke, "Ye Binyumu, Nɔ Nɛ i hla a ji nɛ ɔ nɛ, nyɛɛ bu lɛ tue."

36 Benɛ gbi ɔ pɛ se ɔ, Yesu kɛ e kaseli ɔmɛ pɛ nɛ piɛ ngɛ lejɛ ɔ; nɛ a ti nɔ ko wui munyu nɛ ɔ nɔ ta kɛ de we nɔ ko ngɛ jamɛ a be ɔ mi.

37 E nɔ jena benɛ a kple si kɛ je yoku ɔ nɔ kɛ ma a, nihi fuu kɛ lɛ ba kpe. 38 Kɛkɛ nɛ nɔ ko hia ngmlaa ngɛ ni ɔmɛ a kpɛti kɛ tsɛ lɛ ke, "Tsɔɔlɔ, ye binyumuyo kake too ji nɛ ɔ nɛ. 39 Se mumi yayami ngɛ lɛ haoe.

41 Kɛkɛ nɛ Yesu de ke, "Mɛni nimli ji nɛ ɔ nɛ a tue mi ti, nɛ a be hemi kɛ yemi kikɛ ɔ? Mɛni be i kɛ nyɛ maa hi si kɛ ya si? Mo wo lɛ ke ba hiɛmɛ nɛ ɔ."

42 Benɛ bi ɔ nyɛɛ ke ma Yesu ngɔ ɔ, kɛkɛ nɛ mumi yayami ɔ pa po lɛ kɛ fɔ si. Se Yesu nga mumi yayami ɔ yi nɛ e de lɛ ke e je e mi; kɛkɛ nɛ jokuɛ ɔ na he wami, nɛ e wo lɛ kɛ ha e tsɛ ɔ.

43 Nihi nɛ na Mawu he wami ni tsumi nɛ ɔ ye gbeye saminya, nɛ benɛ a ngɛ nyakpɛ ni kpahi nɛ Yesu ngɛ tsue ɔ he munyu tue ɔ, e de e kaseli ɔmɛ ke, 44 "Nyɛɛ bu mi tue saminya nɛ nyɛ kai nɔ́ nɛ i ngɛ dee ɔ.

46 Nya sami mohu nɛ ba te si ngɛ a kpɛti kaa a ti mɛnɔ nɛ maa pee nguaa pe kulaa ngɛ Matsɛyemi nɛ ma a mi lo. 47 Se Yesu le nɔ nɛ a ngɛ susue ɔ, nɛ lɔ ɔ he je ɔ e tsɛ jokuɛ ko kɛ ba da si ngɛ e kasa nya. 48 Nɛ e de mɛ ke, "Nɔ tsuaa nɔ nɛ maa baa jokuɛ kaa nɔ nɛ ɔ yi saminya a, ami nɛ e pee kɛ ha; nɛ nɔ tsuaa nɔ nɛ maa hyɛ ye nɔ ɔ, Tsaatsɛ nɛ tsɔ mi ɔ nɛ e pee kɛ ha. Ejakaa bɔ nɛ nyɛ maa ba nyɛ he si kɛ ha ni kpahi ha a, lɔ ɔ nɛ maa pee nyɛ nimli nguahi." 49 Nɛ e kaselɔ Yohane ba ba de lɛ ke, "Tsɔɔlɔ, wa na nɔ ko nɛ e wo o biɛ kɛ ngɛ mumi yayamihi hiae ngɛ nihi a mi nɛ wa tsi e nya nɛ wa de lɛ ke e be he blɔ nɛ e peeɔ ja, ejakaa e be wa kpɛti."

50 Yesu de lɛ ke, "E sɛ nɛ o tsiɔ e nya, ejakaa nɔ nɛ ti si kɛ wui mo ɔ, lɛɛ e kɛ mo i."

51 Nɛ akɛnɛ e be nɛ e ma kɛ kpale kɛ ho hiɔwe ya a ngɛ sue he je ɔ, e wo e hɛ mi ngɔ pi Yerusalem blɔ.

54 Benɛ munyu nɛ ɔ ba su Yesu kɛ e kaseli ɔmɛ ɔ, Yakobo kɛ Yohane de Yesu ke, "Tsɔɔlɔ, wa tsɛ la kɛ je hiɔwe nɛ e ba sa nimli nɛ ɔmɛ lo?" 55 Se Yesu ka a hɛ mi ngɛ a susumi nɛ ɔ he. 56 Nɛ a ho ya to kɔpe kpa mi.

57 Benɛ a yaa ngɛ blɔ ɔ nɔ ɔ, nɔ ko de Yesu ke, "He tsuaa he nɛ o maa ya a, i ma nyɛɛ o se daa."

58 Se Yesu ha lɛ heto nɛ e de ke, "Mo kai kaa i be he nɛ i woɔ ye yi kɛ fɔɔ. Kɔkɔbohi ngɛ a muɔhi nɛ a hwɔɔ mi, nɛ lohwe pɛlitsɛhi hu ngɛ a tsuhi, se Nɔmlɔ Bi ɔ be we ngɛ zugba nɛ ɔ nɔ."
