Acts 11
1 Now the Apostles and the brothers who were in Judaea had news that the word of God had been given to the Gentiles.
Asomafo ne agyidifo a wɔwɔ Yudea nyinaa tee sɛ amanamanmufo no nso agye Onyankopɔn asɛm no adi.
2 And when Peter came to Jerusalem, those who kept the rule of circumcision had an argument with him,
Petro kɔɔ Yerusalem no, Yudafo agyidifo no ne no nyaa akasakasa kae se,
3 Saying, You went to men without circumcision, and took food with them.
“Woakɔ wɔn a wɔnnyɛ twetiatwafo no nkyɛn ne wɔn akodidi.”
4 But Peter gave them an account of it all in order, saying to them,
Petro bɔɔ wɔn biribiara a esii no ho amanneɛ se,
5 I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:
“Na merebɔ mpae wɔ Yopa na minyaa anisoadehu. Mihuu biribi a ɛte sɛ ntama kɛse a wɔakyekyere sɛ efi ɔsoro afanan resian ba fam wɔ faako a mewɔ no.
6 And looking on it with attention I saw in it all sorts of beasts and birds.
Mehwɛɛ mu no, mihuu ntɔteboa ahorow, mmoa a wɔwea ne wuram nnomaa.
7 And a voice came to my ears saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.
Afei, nne bi ka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Petro! Sɔre! Kum na we!’
8 But I said, No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever come into my mouth.
“Mibuae se, ‘Dabi da, Awurade! Minnii biribiara a ɛho ntew da.’
9 But the voice, coming a second time from heaven, said, What God has made clean, do not you make common.
“Nne no ka kyerɛɛ me bio se, ‘Biribiara a Onyankopɔn atew ho no, nka se ɛho ntew.’
10 And this was done three times, and they were all taken up again into heaven.
Saa anisoadehu yi baa mprɛnsa, na ɛsan kɔɔ ɔsoro.
11 And at that minute, three men, sent from Caesarea, came to the house where we were.
“Saa bere no ara mu, nnipa baasa a wɔasoma wɔn fi Kaesarea no beduu ofi a na mete mu no mu.
12 And the Spirit gave me orders to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers came with me; and we went into that man's house:
Honhom Kronkron ka kyerɛɛ me se menntwentwɛn me nan ase na me ne wɔn nkɔ. Saa agyidifo baasa yi a wofi Yopa no kaa me ho kɔɔ Kaesarea ma yɛn nyinaa kɔɔ Kornelio fi.
13 And he gave us an account of how he had seen the angel in his house, saying, Send to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you;
Ɔkaa sɛnea ohuu ɔsoro ɔbɔfo wɔ ne fi ma ɔbɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Soma kɔ Yopa kɔfrɛ ɔbarima bi a ne din de Simon Petro no.
14 Who will say words to you through which you and all your family may get salvation.
Ɔno na ɔbɛka nsɛm a ebegye wo ne wo fifo nyinaa nkwa akyerɛ mo.’
15 And, while I was talking to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at first.
“Bere a mifii ase kasae no, Honhom Kronkron baa wɔn so sɛnea yɛn nso mfiase no, ɛbaa yɛn so no ara pɛ.
16 And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.
Ɛhɔ ara mekaee asɛm a Awurade kae se, ‘Yohane de nsu na ɛbɔɔ asu na mo de, wɔde Honhom Kronkron na ɛbɛbɔ mo asu’ no.
17 If then God gave them, when they had faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the same as he gave to us, who was I to go against God?
Sɛ Onyankopɔn ama wɔn akyɛde a bere a yegyee Awurade Yesu Kristo dii no ɔmaa yɛn bi no a, ɛno de me sɛɛ ne hena a mesiw Onyankopɔn kwan.”
18 And hearing these things they said nothing more, but gave glory to God, saying, Then to the Gentiles as to us has God given a change of heart, so that they may have life.
Wɔtee saa asɛm yi no, wogyaee wɔn nsɛmmisa no yii Awurade ayɛ se, “Afei de Onyankopɔn ama ho kwan ama amanamanmufo anya adwensakra a ɛde wɔn bɛkɔ nkwagye mu.”
19 Then those who had gone away at the time of the trouble about Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus, preaching to the Jews only.
Wokum Stefano no, wɔtaa agyidifo no ma wɔbɔɔ ahwete. Wɔn mu bi kyinkyin koduu Foinike, ne Kipro, ne Antiokia a na wɔreka asɛmpa no kyerɛ Yudafo nko ara.
20 But some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they came to Antioch, gave the good news about the Lord Jesus to the Greeks.
Agyidifo bi a wofi Kipro ne Kirene kɔɔ Antiokia kɔkaa asɛmpa a ɛfa Awurade Yesu Kristo ho no kyerɛɛ amanamanmufo no.
21 And the power of the Lord was with them, and a great number had faith and were turned to the Lord.
Esiane sɛ na Awurade ka wɔn ho no nti nnipa pii gyee asɛm no dii ma wɔdan baa Awurade nkyɛn.
22 And news of them came to the ears of the church at Jerusalem: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch:
Saa asɛm yi trɛw koduu Yerusalem asafo no mu nti wɔsomaa Barnaba kɔɔ Antiokia.
23 Who, when he came and saw the grace of God, was glad; and he made clear to them the need of keeping near the Lord with all the strength of their hearts:
Oduu hɔ a ohuu sɛnea Onyankopɔn ahyira wɔn no, nʼani gye ma ɔhyɛɛ wɔn nkuran se womfi wɔn koma nyinaa mu nnye Awurade nni na wonni no nokware nso.
24 For he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and a great number were joined to the Lord.
Esiane sɛ na Barnaba yɛ onipa pa a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma na ɔwɔ gyidi nti, ɛmaa nnipa bebree nam ne so de wɔn ho maa Awurade.
25 Then he went on to Tarsus, looking for Saul;
Barnaba kɔɔ Tarso kɔhwehwɛɛ Saulo.
26 And when he had come across him, he took him to Antioch. And they were with the church there for a year, teaching the people; and the disciples were first given the name of Christians in Antioch.
Ohuu no no, ɔde no baa Antiokia. Wɔn baanu tenaa hɔ afe kyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa bebree. Antiokia ha na wɔtoo asuafo no din se “Kristofo.”
27 Now in those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Saa bere koro no ara mu na adiyifo bi fi Yerusalem kɔɔ Antiokia.
28 And one of them, named Agabus, said publicly through the Spirit that there would be serious need of food all over the earth: which came about in the time of Claudius.
Wɔn mu baako a wɔfrɛ no Agabo a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no sɔre gyina hyɛɛ nkɔm se ɔkɔm kɛse bɛba asase nyinaa so. Saa ɔkɔm yi sii bere a na Klaudio di ade no.
29 And the disciples, everyone as he was able, made a decision to send help to the brothers living in Judaea:
Asuafo no yɛɛ adwene sɛ biribiara a obi wɔ no wɔde bɛba na wɔde akɔboa anuanom a wɔwɔ Yudea no.
30 Which they did, sending it to the rulers of the church by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Wɔde akyɛde a wɔn nsa kae no somaa Barnaba ne Saulo ma wɔde kɔmaa asafo no mu mpanyimfo.
