Acts 14
1 In Iconium the same thing happened. Paul and Barnabas went to the Jewish synagogue and spoke so convincingly that many of both the Jewish and Greek-speaking worshipers trusted in Jesus.
Paulo ne Barnaba duu Ikoniom no, wɔkɔɔ Yudafo asɔredan mu. Wɔkasa ma Yudafo ne amanamanmufo bebree bɛyɛɛ agyidifo.
2 But the Jews that refused to believe in Jesus stirred up the feelings of the foreigners, and poisoned them against the believers.
Nanso Yudafo a wɔpoo Awurade asɛm no hwanyan amanamanmufo no, san tuu wɔn aso tiaa anuanom no.
3 Paul and Barnabas stayed there a long time, speaking to them boldly in the Lord, who confirmed their message of grace through the miraculous signs that they were enabled to perform.
Asomafo no tenaa hɔ kyɛe. Na Awurade nam tumi a ɔde maa wɔn ma wɔyɛɛ anwonwade ahorow no so kyerɛɛ sɛ nsɛm a wɔka fa nʼadom ho no yɛ nokware.
4 The inhabitants of the town were divided, with some supporting the Jews and some the apostles.
Kurow no mu nnipa no mu kyɛɛ abien; fa kɔɔ Yudafo no afa na fa nso kɔɔ asomafo no afa.
5 But then the foreigners and the Jews, together with their leaders, decided to attack and stone Paul and Barnabas.
Amanamanmufo ne Yudafo no ne wɔn mpanyimfo yɛɛ adwene se wɔbɛyɛ wɔn ayayade asan asiw wɔn abo.
6 However, they found out about it and fled to the region of Lycaonia, to the towns of Lystra and Derbe,
Asomafo no tee pɔw a wɔbɔ faa wɔn ho no, woguan kɔɔ Listra ne Derbe a ɛwɔ Likaoniaman mu ne nkuraa a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa ase.
7 where they continued to share the good news.
Wɔkaa Asɛmpa no wɔ hɔ.
8 In the town of Lystra there was a disabled man who was lame in both feet. He had been crippled from birth and had never been able to walk.
Bere a Paulo ne Barnaba wɔ Listra no wohuu ɔbarima bi a na ɔyɛ obubuafo fi nʼawo mu.
9 He sat there listening to Paul speaking. When Paul looked directly at him, and realized that the man was trusting in God to heal him,
Paulo rekasa no, obubuafo no tiee no maa Paulo huu sɛ ɔwɔ gyidi a ɛbɛma watumi agyina so asa no yare. Enti Paulo hwɛɛ obubuafo no
10 Paul said in a loud voice, “Stand up on your feet!” The man jumped to his feet and started walking.
teɛɛ mu se, “Sɔre gyina hɔ!” Amono mu, obubuafo yi huruw gyinae, fii ase nantewee.
11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted out in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us looking like men!”
Nnipa no huu nea Paulo ayɛ no, wofii ase teɛteɛɛ mu wɔ Likaonia kasa mu se, “Anyame ayeyɛ wɔn ho sɛ nnipa aba yɛn nkyɛn.”
12 They identified Barnabas as the Greek god Zeus, and Paul as the god Hermes because he was one who did most of the talking.
Eyi nti wɔfrɛɛ Barnaba Seus na wɔfrɛɛ Paulo nso Hermes, efisɛ ɔno na na ɔka asɛm no.
13 The priest of the temple of Zeus that lay just outside the town, brought oxen and wreaths to the town gates. He planned to carry out a sacrifice in front of the crowds.
Seus a na nʼasɔredan wɔ kurotia no sɔfo de nantwi ne nhwiren baa kurow no pon ano, pɛɛ sɛ wɔbɔ afɔre ma asomafo no.
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul learned what was happening, they tore their clothes, and rushed into the crowds, shouting out,
Bere a Barnaba ne Paulo tee afɔre a nnipa no pɛ sɛ wɔbɔ no, wɔde abufuw sunsuanee wɔn ntade mu, tuu mmirika kɔɔ nnipakuw no mu teɛteɛɛ mu se,
15 “People, what are you doing? We are human beings with the same kind of nature as you. We came to bring you good news, so you could turn from these pointless things to a God who is truly alive. He is the one who made heaven, earth, and sea, and everything in them.
“Dɛn na mopɛ sɛ moyɛ yi? Yɛyɛ nnipa te sɛ mo! Yɛaba sɛ yɛrebɛka asɛmpa no akyerɛ mo, ama moagyae saa nneɛma hunu yi yɛ, na mode mo ho ama Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro, asase, ɛpo ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu no.
16 In past times he allowed all the nations to follow their own ways.
Bere bi a atwa mu no, ɔmaa nnipa nyinaa kwan ma wɔyɛɛ nea wɔpɛ.
17 Even so he still provided evidence of himself by doing good, sending you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons, providing all the food you need, and filling you with happiness.”
Nanso Onyankopɔn nam nneɛma pa a ɔyɛ so di nʼankasa ho adanse. Mmere a ɛsɛ mu no, ɔma osu tɔ ma nnɔbae ba; ɔma mo aduan di ma munya ahotɔ.”
18 With these words they barely managed to stop the crowds from offering sacrifices to them.
Nanso saa kasa yi nyinaa akyi no, pɛ ara na nnipa no pɛɛ sɛ wɔbɔ afɔre ma wɔn.
19 But then some Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul, and dragged him outside the town, thinking he was dead.
Yudafo bi fi Antiokia a ɛwɔ Pisidia ne Ikoniom tuu nnipa no aso maa wosiw Paulo abo, twee no fii kurow no mu a na wosusuw sɛ wawu.
20 But when the believers gathered around him, he got up, and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.
Nanso bere a agyidifo no betwaa ne ho hyiae no, ɔsɔre san kɔɔ kurow no mu. Ade kyee no ɔne Barnaba fii hɔ kɔɔ Derbe.
21 After sharing the good news with the people in that town, and after many had become believers, they went back to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.
Paulo ne Barnaba kaa asɛmpa no wɔ Derbe ma nnipa pii gye dii. Wofi hɔ no, wɔsan kɔɔ Listra, Ikoniom ne Antiokia a ɛwɔ Pisidia.
22 They encouraged the believers to remain firm and to continue to trust in Jesus. “We have to go through many trials to enter God's kingdom,” they said.
Wɔhyɛɛ agyidifo no nkuran sɛ wɔntena ase gyidi mu. Wɔka kyerɛɛ agyidifo yi se, “Ansa na yebetumi akɔ Onyankopɔn ahenni mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛfa ɔhaw ahorow pii mu.”
23 After they had appointed elders for every church, and had prayed and fasted with them, Paul and Barnabas left them in the Lord's care, the one that they trusted in.
Asafo biara a wɔkɔɔ mu no, wosisii mpanyimfo maa wɔn; na wɔnam mpaebɔ ne mmuadadi so de mpanyimfo no hyɛɛ Awurade a wɔde wɔn ho ato no so no nsa.
24 They passed through Pisidia, and arrived in Pamphylia.
Wofi Pisidia no wɔbaa Pamfilia.
25 They spoke God's word in Perga, and then went on to Attalia.
Wɔkaa asɛmpa no wɔ Perge na wofi hɔ baa Atalia.
26 From there they sailed back to Antioch where they had started out, having been dedicated there in God's grace to the work they had now accomplished.
Wofi Atalia no, wɔsan baa Antiokia a ɛhɔ na bere a na wɔrebefi saa adwuma a wɔawie yi ase no, wɔde wɔn hyɛɛ Awurade nsa no.
27 When they arrived, they called the church together. They reported everything God had done through them, and how he had opened a door for the foreigners to trust in him.
Bere a woduu Antiokia no, wohyiaa asafo no mu nnipa nyinaa. Wɔkaa nneɛma a Onyankopɔn nam wɔn so ayɛ, ne sɛnea Onyankopɔn abue kwan ama amanamanmufo agye asɛm no adi no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
28 They stayed there with the believers for a long time.
Paulo ne Barnaba tenaa gyidifo no nkyɛn kyɛe.
