Acts 4
1 But while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the magistrate of the temple and the Sadducees overwhelmed them,
Ɛberɛ a Petro ne Yohane gu so rekasa akyerɛ nkurɔfoɔ no, asɔfoɔ ne ɔpanin a ɔhwɛ awɛmfoɔ a wɔhwɛ asɔredan no so no ne Sadukifoɔ baa wɔn nkyɛn.
2 being grieved that they were teaching the people and announcing in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
Wɔn bo fuu yie, ɛfiri sɛ, na saa asomafoɔ yi rekyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no sɛ Yesu asɔre afiri owuo mu a ɛkyerɛ sɛ awufoɔ tumi nyane ba nkwa mu.
3 And they laid hands on them, and they placed them under guard until the next day. For it was now evening.
Wɔkyeree asomafoɔ no, nanso ɛsiane sɛ na adeɛ asa enti, wɔde wɔn guu afiase kɔsii adekyeeɛ.
4 But many of those who had heard the word believed. And the number of men became five thousand.
Nanso nnipa a wɔtee asɛm no mu dodoɔ no ara bɛyɛ sɛ mpemnum gyee asɛm no diiɛ.
5 And it happened on the next day that their leaders and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem,
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, Yudafoɔ mpanin, mpanimfoɔ ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ hyiaa wɔ Yerusalem.
6 including Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the priestly family.
Wɔhyiaa Ɔsɔfopanin Anas ne Kaiafa ne Yohane ne Aleksandro ne afoforɔ a wɔfiri Ɔsɔfopanin no abusua mu.
7 And stationing them in the middle, they questioned them: “By what power, or in whose name, have you done this?”
Wɔmaa wɔde asomafoɔ baanu yi baa wɔn anim bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Tumi bɛn anaa hwan din na mode yɛɛ yei?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Leaders of the people and elders, listen.
Petro a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no buaa sɛ, “Ɔman mpanimfoɔ ne atitire.
9 If we today are judged by a good deed done to an infirm man, by which he has been made whole,
Sɛ ɛnnɛ mogyina ha bisa yɛn ade pa a yɛyɛ maa obubuafoɔ no maa ne ho tɔɔ no no a,
10 let it be known to all of you and to all of the people of Israel, that in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead, by him, this man stands before you, healthy.
ɛnneɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mo ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa hunu sɛ, saa onipa a ɔgyina ha yi, ɛnam Yesu Kristo a ɔfiri Nasaret a mobɔɔ no asɛnnua mu na Onyankopɔn nyanee no firii awufoɔ mu no tumi mu na ne ho ayɛ no den.”
11 He is the stone, which was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.
Yesu ne onipa a Atwerɛsɛm ka fa ne ho sɛ, “‘Ɛboɔ a mo adansifoɔ poeɛ no a abɛyɛ tweatiboɔ.’
12 And there is no salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which it is necessary for us to be saved.”
Ɔno nko ara mu na nkwagyeɛ wɔ; ɛfiri sɛ, edin biara nni ewiase ha a nnipa nam so bɛnya nkwagyeɛ.”
13 Then, seeing the constancy of Peter and John, having verified that they were men without letters or learning, they wondered. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
Ɛyɛɛ agyinatufoɔ no ahodwirie sɛ Petro ne Yohane a wɔnsuaa nwoma da na wɔyɛ nnipa teta no tumi kasa akokoɔduru so saa. Wɔhunuu sɛ saa asomafoɔ yi ne Yesu nanteeɛ.
14 Also, seeing the man who had been cured standing with them, they were unable to say anything to contradict them.
Nnipa no antumi anka asɛm biara bio, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔhunuu sɛ ɔbarima a na ne ho atɔ no no ne Petro ne Yohane gyina hɔ.
15 But they ordered them to withdraw outside, away from the council, and they conferred among themselves,
Wɔmaa wɔfirii asɛnniiɛ hɔ ma wɔdwendwenee asɛm no ho.
16 saying: “What shall we do to these men? For certainly a public sign has been done through them, before all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It is manifest, and we cannot deny it.
Wɔbisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na yɛnyɛ saa nnipa yi? Obiara a ɔwɔ Yerusalem ha ate sɛ saa nnipa yi ayɛ anwanwadeɛ a yɛrentumi ntwa ho nkontompo.
17 But lest it spread further among the people, let us threaten them not to speak anymore in this name to any man.”
Sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a saa nnipa yi remma saa asɛm yi ntrɛ nkɔ afoforɔ nkyɛn no, momma yɛmfrɛ wɔn, mmɔ wɔn kɔkɔ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔremmɔ Yesu din nkyerɛ obiara bio.”
18 And calling them in, they warned them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
Wɔfrɛɛ asomafoɔ baanu yi baeɛ, hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnni ho kwan biara sɛ wɔbɔ Yesu Kristo din anaa wɔkyerɛkyerɛ wɔ ne din mu.
19 Yet truly, Peter and John said in response to them: “Judge whether it is just in the sight of God to listen to you, rather than to God.
Petro ne Yohane buaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ yɛbɛtie Onyankopɔn anaa yɛbɛtie mo no, emu deɛ ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ? Mo ara mommua mfa.
20 For we are unable to refrain from speaking the things that we have seen and heard.”
Deɛ yɛahunu ne deɛ yɛate deɛ, yɛrentumi nnyae ho asɛnka.”
21 But they, threatening them, sent them away, having not found a way that they might punish them because of the people. For all were glorifying the things that had been done in these events.
Agyinatufoɔ no bɔɔ wɔn kɔkɔ bio gyaee wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔannya biribiara annyina so antwe wɔn aso; afei nso, na nnipa no nyinaa rekamfo Onyankopɔn wɔ asɛm a asi no ho.
22 For the man in whom this sign of a cure had been accomplished was more than forty years old.
Na ɔbarima a wɔnam anwanwakwan so saa no yadeɛ no adi boro mfeɛ aduanan.
23 Then, having been released, they went to their own, and they reported in full what the leaders of the priests and the elders had said to them.
Wɔgyaee Petro ne Yohane pɛ, wɔkɔɔ agyidifoɔ a aka no nkyɛn kɔkaa deɛ asɔfoɔ mpanin ne mpanimfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
24 And when they had heard it, with one accord, they lifted up their voice to God, and they said: “Lord, you are the One who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them,
Ɛberɛ a wɔtee saa asɛm no, wɔn nyinaa bɔɔ mu bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Owura, Ɔbɔadeɛ a wobɔɔ ɔsoro, asase ne ɛpo ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu,
25 who, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said: ‘Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
wonam Honhom Kronkron so nam yɛn nana Dawid a ɔyɛ wʼakoa no so maa ɔkaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na amanamanmufoɔ no bo afu? Adɛn enti na wɔsɛe mmerɛ yɛ nhyehyɛeɛ hunu yi?
26 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ.’
Asase so ahemfo sɔre gyina na atumfoɔ bom tu agyina tia Awurade ne Agyenkwa no.
27 For truly Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, joined together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed
Ampa ara Herode ne Pontio Pilato ne amanamanmufoɔ ne Israelfoɔ hyiaa wɔ kuro kɛseɛ yi mu sɔre tiaa Yesu a ɔyɛ Ɔsomfoɔ Kronkron a woate ne ho no.
28 to do what your hand and your counsel had decreed would be done.
Wɔhyia yɛɛ biribiara a wonam wo tumi ne wo pɛ so ahyɛ ato hɔ sɛ ɛbɛba mu no.
29 And now, O Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to your servants that they may speak your word with all confidence,
Afei, Awurade, hwɛ ahunahuna a wɔrehunahuna yɛn yi na ma yɛn a yɛyɛ wʼasomfoɔ yi mfa akokoɔduru nka wʼasɛm yi.
30 by extending your hand in cures and signs and miracles, to be done through the name of your holy Son, Jesus.”
Ma wo nsa so fa sa nyarewa, na fa wo ɔsomfoɔ Kronkron Yesu Kristo din so yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne anwanwadeɛ.”
31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered was moved. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they were speaking the Word of God with confidence.
Wɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ wieeɛ no, faako a wɔhyiaeɛ hɔ wosoeɛ. Honhom Kronkron bɛhyɛɛ wɔn nyinaa ma ma na wɔfirii aseɛ de akokoɔduru kaa Onyankopɔn asɛm.
32 Then the multitude of believers were of one heart and one soul. Neither did anyone say that any of the things that he possessed were his own, but all things were common to them.
Agyidifoɔ no nyinaa tenaa ase sɛ nnipa korɔ. Wɔn mu bi anka sɛ nʼankasa ahodeɛ bi yɛ ɔno nko ara dea; biribiara a wɔwɔ no, wɔn nyinaa kyekyɛɛ mu pɛ faeɛ.
33 And with great power, the Apostles were rendering testimony to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord. And great grace was in them all.
Asomafoɔ no nam tumi a emu yɛ den so dii Awurade Yesu wusɔreɛ no ho adanseɛ na Onyankopɔn hyiraa wɔn nyinaa.
34 And neither was anyone among them in need. For as many as were owners of fields or houses, selling these, were bringing the proceeds of the things that they were selling,
Biribiara ho anhia obiara a ɔfra kuo no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn a na wɔwɔ nsase ne afie no tontɔneeɛ de sika a wɔnya firii mu no
35 and were placing it before the feet of the Apostles. Then it was divided to each one, just as he had need.
brɛɛ asomafoɔ no maa wɔkyekyɛeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛho hia obiara.
36 Now Joseph, who the Apostles surnamed Barnabas (which is translated as ‘son of consolation’), who was a Levite of Cyprian descent,
Yosef a na ɔyɛ Lewini a ɔfiri Kipro a na asomafoɔ no frɛ no Barnaba, a asekyerɛ ne “Nkuranhyɛ Ba” no,
37 since he had land, he sold it, and he brought the proceeds and placed these at the feet of the Apostles.
tɔn nʼasase de sika a ɔnyaeɛ no brɛɛ asomafoɔ no.
