Acts 5
1 But a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Anania ne ne yere Safira kɔtɔn wɔn agyapade bi.
2 and put aside for himself part of the price, [his] wife also being privy to it; and having brought a certain part, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
Ɔne ne yere yi yɛɛ adwene de sika a wonyae no bi siei, na wɔde nkae no brɛɛ asomafo no.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled thy heart that thou shouldest lie to the Holy Spirit, and put aside for thyself a part of the price of the estate?
Petro bisaa no se, “Anania, adɛn nti na woama ɔbonsam ho kwan ama wabɛhyɛ wo mu na woadi atoro akyerɛ Honhom Kronkron no na wode sika a wunyaa no bi asie?
4 While it remained did it not remain to thee? and sold, was [it not] in thine own power? Why is it that thou hast purposed this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
Ansa na worebɛtɔn agyapade no na ɛnyɛ wʼankasa wo de; wotɔn wiee no nso sika a wunyae no, na ɛnyɛ wo de; na adɛn nti na woyɛɛ wʼadwene sɛ wobɛyɛ nea woayɛ yi? Ɛnyɛ nnipa na woadi atoro akyerɛ wɔn, na mmom woadi atoro akyerɛ Onyankopɔn.”
5 And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and expired. And great fear came upon all who heard [it].
Anania tee saa asɛm yi ara pɛ, otwa hwee fam wui; na ehu kaa obiara a ɔtee saa asɛm no.
6 And the young men, rising up, swathed him up for burial, and having carried him out, buried him.
Wɔn mu mmerante no ba bɛkyekyeree amu no fii adi kosiee no.
7 And it came to pass about three hours afterwards, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Ɛbɛyɛ nnɔnhwerew abiɛsa akyi no, ne yere a na onnim asɛm a asi no baa hɔ.
8 And Peter answered her, Tell me if ye gave the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.
Petro bisaa no se, “Wo ne wo kunu, motɔn mo asase no, sika a munyae nyinaa ara ni? Ka kyerɛ me.” Obuaa se, “Yiw ne nyinaa ne no.”
9 And Peter said to her, Why [is it] that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of [the] Lord? Lo, the feet of those that have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and they shall carry thee out.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Adɛn nti na wo ne wo kunu penee so sɛ mobɛsɔ Onyankopɔn Honhom ahwɛ? Hwɛ! Nnipa a wokosiee wo kunu no gyina ɔpon yi akyi, na saa ara na wo nso, wɔbɛsoa wo akosie wo.”
10 And she fell down immediately at his feet and expired. And when the young men came in they found her dead; and, having carried her out, they buried her by her husband.
Amono mu hɔ ara, otwa hwee Petro anim wui. Mmerante no behuu sɛ wawu no, wɔsoaa no kosiee no wɔ ne kunu nkyɛn.
11 And great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things.
Ehu kɛse bɔɔ asafo no nyinaa ne nnipa a wɔtee saa asɛm no.
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders done among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch,
Na asomafo no taa hyia wɔ asɔredan no fa baabi a wɔfrɛ no “Salomo Abrannaa” so hɔ. Sɛ wohyia wɔ hɔ saa a, wɔyɛ anwonwade ahorow pii.
13 but of the rest durst no man join them, but the people magnified them;
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na nnipa a wɔnka wɔn ho no di wɔn ho adanse pa de, nanso wɔn mu biara antumi amfa wɔn ho ankɔbɔ asomafo no ho.
14 and believers were more than ever added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women; )
Akyiri no, nnipa dodow a wogyee Awurade dii no bɛkaa agyidifo no ho.
15 so that they brought out the sick into the streets and put [them] on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter, when he came, might overshadow some one of them.
Esiane anwonwade a na asomafo no reyɛ no nti, wɔsoaa ayarefo baa mmɔnten so de wɔn totoo mpa ne akɛtɛ so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Petro sunsuma bɛtɔ wɔn mu bi so kɛkɛ.
16 And the multitude also of the cities round about came together to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons and persons beset by unclean spirits, who were all healed.
Nkurɔfo a wofifi nkurow a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia no de wɔn ayarefo ne wɔn a ahonhommɔne wɔ wɔn mu no ba ma wɔsaa wɔn nyinaa yare.
17 And the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with wrath,
Ɔsɔfopanyin ne ne dɔm ne Sadukifo no ani beree asomafo no so yiye enti wɔyɛɛ adwene sɛ wɔbɛtwe wɔn aso.
18 and laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison.
Ɛno nti, wɔkyeree asomafo no de wɔn koguu afiase.
19 But an angel of [the] Lord during the night opened the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said,
Da no ara anadwo, Awurade bɔfo behiɛɛ afiase apon no dii asomafo no anim ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
20 Go ye and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
“Monkɔ asɔredan mu nkɔka nkwa foforo yi ho asɛm nkyerɛ nnipa no.”
21 And when they heard it, they entered very early into the temple and taught. And when the high priest was come, and they that were with him, they called together the council and all the elderhood of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Asomafo no dii asɛm a ɔbɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no so; enti anɔpahema no wɔkɔɔ asɔredan mu hɔ kofii ase kyerɛkyerɛe. Ɔsɔfopanyin no ne ne dɔm no frɛɛ Yudafo mpanyin ma wɔyɛɛ nhyiamu kɛse bi; afei wɔsoma ma wɔkɔɔ afiase hɔ sɛ wɔnkɔfa asomafo no mmra wɔn anim.
22 And when the officers were come, they did not find them in the prison; and returned and reported
Nanso, bere a nnipa no duu afiase hɔ no, wɔanhu asomafo no; enti wɔsan ba bɛbɔɔ wɔn amanneɛ se,
23 saying, We found the prison shut with all security, and the keepers standing at the doors; but when we had opened [them], within we found no one.
“Bere a yeduu afiase hɔ no, yehuu sɛ wɔatoto afiase apon no nyinaa mu petee a awɛmfo no gyinagyina ano. Nanso yebuebuee apon no, yɛanhu obiara wɔ mu.”
24 And when they heard these words, both the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests were in perplexity as to them, what this would come to.
Bere a ɔpanyin a ɔhwɛ asɔredan mu awɛmfo no so ne asɔfo mpanyin no tee saa asɛm no, wɔn adwene mu yɛɛ wɔn naa, efisɛ na wonhu asɛm a asi.
25 And some one coming reported to them, Lo, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.
Ankyɛ koraa na ɔbarima bi baa hɔ bɛka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Nnipa a mode wɔn guu afiase no gyinagyina asɔredan no mu rekyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no.”
26 Then the captain, having gone with the officers, brought them, not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
Awɛmfo no so panyin no tee asɛm no, ɔne ne nkurɔfo no kɔkyeree asomafo no de wɔn bae. Awɛmfo no so panyin no ne awɛmfo no amfa asomafo no amma ɔhyɛ so, efisɛ na wonim sɛ, sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, nnipa no besiw wɔn abo.
27 And they bring them and set them in the council. And the high priest asked them,
Wɔde asomafo no begyinaa agyinatufo no anim ma Ɔsɔfopanyin no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
28 saying, We strictly enjoined you not to teach in this name: and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and purpose to bring upon us the blood of this man.
“Yɛhyɛɛ mo sɛ monnkyerɛkyerɛ wɔ Yesu din mu, nanso moantie. Mode mo nkyerɛkyerɛ yi afa Yerusalem baabiara, na mopɛ sɛ mokyerɛ sɛ, yɛn na yekum saa ɔbarima no!”
29 But Peter answering, and the apostles, said, God must be obeyed rather than men.
Petro ne asomafo a wɔka ne ho no buaa wɔn se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ yetie Onyankopɔn na ɛnyɛ nnipa,
30 The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom ye have slain, having hanged on a cross.
efisɛ mobɔɔ Yesu asennua mu, kum no no, yɛn agyanom Nyankopɔn nyan no fii owu mu.
31 Him has God exalted by his right hand as leader and saviour, to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.
Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no anuonyam de no tenaa ne nsa nifa so sɛ Ɔhene ne Agyenkwa a ɛnam no so bɛma Israelfo asakra wɔn adwene na wɔde wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn.
32 And we are [his] witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit also, which God has given to those that obey him.
Yɛne Honhom Kronkron a ɛyɛ akyɛde a Awurade de ma wɔn a wotie no no di eyi ho adanse.”
33 But they, when they heard [these things], were cut to the heart, and took counsel to kill them.
Agyinatufo no tee asɛm no, wɔn bo fuwii, na wɔkae se wobekum asomafo no.
34 But a certain [man], a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, held in honour of all the people, rose up in the council, and commanded to put the men out for a short while,
Nanso wɔn mu baako a wɔfrɛ no Gamaliel a ɔyɛ Farisini na ɔsan yɛ Kyerɛwsɛm no kyerɛkyerɛfo a na nnipa bu no no sɔre gyina hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmfa asomafo no mfi adi.
35 and said to them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as regards these men what ye are going to do;
Afei, ɔkasa kyerɛɛ agyinatufo no se, “Me nuanom Israel mmarima, munnwen nea mopɛ sɛ moyɛ saa nnipa yi ho yiye.
36 for before these days Theudas rose up, alleging himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, were joined; who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.
Ɛnkyɛe biara na ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Teuda sɔre kaa se ɔyɛ onipa titiriw bi maa nnipa bɛyɛ ahannan tu dii nʼakyi. Nanso wokum no maa nʼakyidifo no nyinaa bɔɔ ahwete.
37 After him rose Judas the Galilean in the days of the census, and drew away [a number of] people after him; and he perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
Nʼakyi na Yuda a ofi Galilea nso sɔree nnipakan bere no mu. Ɔno nso nnipa pii dii nʼakyi. Saa ara na ɔno nso wokum no maa nʼakyidifo no bɔɔ ahwete.
38 And now I say to you, Withdraw from these men and let them alone, for if this counsel or this work have its origin from men, it will be destroyed;
Ɛno nti mitu mo fo se, munnyaa saa nnipa yi ma wɔnkɔ wɔn baabi. Sɛ wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ ne wɔn nnwuma yi fi onipa a, ebegu.
39 but if it be from God, ye will not be able to put them down, lest ye be found also fighters against God.
Nanso sɛ efi Onyankopɔn a, morentumi nsiw wɔn kwan. Mubehu sɛ moreko atia Onyankopɔn.”
40 And they listened to his advice; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and enjoined them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
Agyinatufo no tiee Gamaliel afotu no. Wɔma wɔde asomafo no ba ma wɔbɔɔ wɔn mmaa hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmmɔ Yesu din mfa nkyerɛkyerɛ bio. Afei wogyaa wɔn.
41 They therefore went their way from [the] presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be dishonoured for the name.
Esiane sɛ asomafo no huu sɛ ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wohu amane wɔ Yesu din mu no nti, wɔde anigye na efii asennii hɔ.
42 And every day, in the temple and in the houses, they ceased not teaching and announcing the glad tidings that Jesus [was] the Christ.
Wɔannyae Yesu Kristo ho asɛmpa no ka ne nkyerɛkyerɛ wɔ hyiadan ne afi mu da.
