18 Afei Sadukifoɔ a wɔka sɛ owusɔreɛ nni hɔ+ no baa ne nkyɛn, na wɔbisaa no sɛ:+ 19 “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, Mose twerɛ maa yɛn sɛ, sɛ obi nuabarima wu gya ne yere na sɛ ɔnni ba a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔware ne nua a wawuo no yere no, na ɔne no wo ma ne nua no.+ 20 Ná anuanom nson* bi wɔ hɔ.

28 Ɛnna atwerɛfoɔ no mu baako baa hɔ bɛtee sɛ wɔregye akyinnyeɛ, na ɔhuu sɛ Yesu abua wɔn nsɛm no yie. Enti ɔbisaa Yesu sɛ: “Mmara no mu deɛ ɛwɔ he na ɛdi kan?”*+ 29 Yesu buaa sɛ: “Deɛ ɛdi kan ne sɛ, ‘O Israel, tie, Yehowa* yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Yehowa* baako, 30 na fa w’akoma nyinaa ne wo kra* nyinaa ne w’adwene nyinaa ne w’ahoɔden nyinaa dɔ Yehowa* wo Nyankopɔn.’+ 31 Deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu ne sɛ, ‘Dɔ wo yɔnko sɛ wo ho.’+ Mmara biara nni hɔ a ɛyɛ kɛseɛ sene weinom.” 32 Ɔtwerɛfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, deɛ woaka no yɛ nokorɛ turodoo, ‘Ɔyɛ Baako, na obiara nni hɔ sɛ ɔno’;+ 33 na sɛ obi de n’akoma nyinaa ne n’adwene nyinaa ne n’ahoɔden nyinaa dɔ no, na ɔdɔ ne yɔnko sɛ ne ho a, ɛsom bo koraa sene ɔhyeɛ afɔreɛ ne afɔrebɔ nyinaa.”+ 34 Na Yesu huu sɛ wabua no nyansa mu, enti ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Wo ne Onyankopɔn Ahennie ntam kwan nware.” Na obiara annya akokoɔduro ammisa no asɛm biara bio.+

35 Na Yesu toaa so kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔ asɔrefie hɔ, na ɔbisaa sɛ: “Adɛn nti na atwerɛfoɔ no ka sɛ Kristo no yɛ Dawid ba?+ 36 Honhom kronkron+ maa Dawid ankasa kaa sɛ, ‘Yehowa* ka kyerɛɛ me Wura sɛ: “Tena me nsa nifa kɔsi sɛ mede w’atamfo bɛgu wo nan ase.”’+ 37 Dawid ankasa frɛɛ no Owura, enti ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na wayɛ ne ba?”+
