Acts 2
1 SO when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with unanimity assembled together.
Pentekoste da no duruiɛ no, na asuafoɔ no nyinaa ahyia wɔ faako.
2 And there came suddenly from heaven a sound as it were of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
Amonom hɔ ara, ɛnne bi te sɛ ahum a ɛretu firi ɔsoro baeɛ bɛhyɛɛ efie a na wɔwɔ mu no ma.
3 And there was an appearance to them of divided tongues, as of fire, and it rested on every one of them.
Egya a ɛrederɛ a ɛte sɛ tɛkrɛma bɛsisii wɔn so mmaako mmaako.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
Honhom Kronkron no hyɛɛ wɔn nyinaa ma, na wɔkaa kasa foforɔ, sɛdeɛ Honhom no maa wɔn ho kwan.
5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, men of piety, from every nation under heaven.
Saa ɛberɛ no na Yudafoɔ bi a wɔfɛre Onyame firi mmeaeɛ mmeaeɛ aba Yerusalem.
6 And when this report spread, the multitude collected around them, and were overwhelmed with astonishment, because they heard them speaking every one in his own peculiar dialect.
Wɔtee deɛ ɛrekɔ so no, wɔbɔɔ twi bɛhyiaeɛ, na ɛyɛɛ wɔn nwanwa ne ahodwirie, ɛfiri sɛ, obiara tee sɛ wɔreka ne kurom kasa.
7 And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying one to another, Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
Enti, wɔbisaa sɛ, “Na saa nnipa yi a wɔrekasa yi nyɛ Galileafoɔ anaa?
8 And how do we hear every man in our own peculiar dialect, in which from our birth we were brought up?
Na adɛn enti na yɛte sɛ wɔreka Onyankopɔn anwanwadwuma ho asɛm wɔ yɛn a yɛyɛ
9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and they who inhabit Mesopotamia, and Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,
Partifoɔ, Mediafoɔ ne Elamfoɔ, ne wɔn a wɔte Mesopotamia ne Yudea ne Kapadokia, Ponto, Asia,
10 and Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Lybia adjoining Cyrene, and the sojourners, who are Romans, both Jews and proselytes,
Frigia ne Pamfilia, Misraim ne Libia fa a ɛbɛn Kirene ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔfiri Roma, Yudafoɔ ne wɔn a wɔasakyera aba Yudasom mu,
11 Cretans and Arabians, we hear them speaking in our own several tongues the marvellous things of God.
ne Kretafoɔ ne Arabfoɔ mu biara kasa mu yi?”
12 And they were all amazed, and much perplexed, and knew not what to think, saying one to another, What can this mean?
Wɔde ahodwirie bisaa sɛ, “Yei ase ne sɛn?”
13 But others scoffing said, These men are brimful of sweet wine.
Afoforɔ nso dii wɔn ho fɛ sɛ, “Saa nnipa yi aboboro nsã.”
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice, and addressed them; Men of Judea, and all ye who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to my words:
Petro ne asomafoɔ dubaako no sɔre gyinaa hɔ na ɔkasaa dendeenden kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Me nuanom Yudafoɔ ne mo a mote Yerusalem nyinaa, montie asɛm a mereka yi.
15 for these men are not, as ye suppose, drunk, for it is only the third hour of the day.
Saa nnipa yi mmoboroo nsã sɛdeɛ mosusu no, ɛfiri sɛ, adeɛ nnya nkyee a ɛsɛ sɛ obi nom nsã boro.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel;
Asɛm a asi yi na odiyifoɔ Yoɛl hyɛɛ ho nkɔm sɛ:
17 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour our of my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
“‘Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, nna a ɛdi akyire no, mɛhwie me Honhom no agu nnipa nyinaa so. Mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa bɛhyɛ nkɔm, mo mmeranteɛ nso ahunu anisoadeɛ. Na mo mpanin nso asoso adaeɛ.
18 and upon my servants and my handmaidens in those days will I pour out of my spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Saa mmerɛ no mu no, mɛhwie me Honhom agu mʼasomfoɔ mpo so, mmarima ne mmaa, ama wɔahyɛ nkɔm.
19 and I will perform prodigies in the heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke.
Mede mogya ne ogya ne wisie kumɔnn bɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and illustrious day of the Lord come.
Ansa na Awurade da kɛseɛ no bɛba no, owia bɛduru sum na ɔsrane nso ayɛ sɛ mogya.
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the Lord shall be saved.”
Na obiara a ɔbɛbɔ Awurade din no bɛnya nkwa.’
22 Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazarean, a man from God, pointed out to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as yourselves also know:
“Israelfoɔ, montie! Yesu Nasareni no yɛ ɔbarima bi a ne dwuma kronkron a ɔbɛdiiɛ no daa adi wɔ tumi ne anwanwadeɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a Onyankopɔn nam ne so yɛeɛ a mo ankasa di ho adanseɛ no mu.
23 him, by the destined counsel and foreknowledge of God delivered up, ye have seized, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
Onyankopɔn ankasa firi ne pɛ ne ne nhunumu mu sii no gyinaeɛ sɛ wɔbɛyi Yesu ama mo, na mode no maa nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ma wɔbɔɔ no asɛnnua mu kumm no.
24 whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: forasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held thereby.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn nyanee no firii owuo mu maa ɔyii no firii owuyea mu, ɛfiri sɛ, owuo antumi anni ne so.”
25 For David speaketh concerning him, “I have seen the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand, that I might not be shaken:
Asɛm a Dawid ka faa ne ho ne sɛ, “Mehunu Awurade wɔ mʼani so daa nyinaa. Esiane sɛ ɔwɔ me nsa nifa enti, merenhinhim da.
26 therefore is my heart full of joy, and my tongue hath exulted; and still shall my flesh also repose in hope,
Ɛno enti, me kra ani gye, na me de me tɛkrɛma di ahurisie. Me onipadua nso bɛhome asomdwoeɛ mu.
27 that thou wilt not leave my soul in the mansion of the dead, nor permit that Holy One of thine to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
Ɛfiri sɛ, worennya me awufoɔ mu. Na woremma wo Kronkronni no mporɔ. (Hadēs g86)
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt fill me with delight by thy countenance.”
Woakyerɛ me nkwagyeɛ ɛkwan; na wobɛma mʼani agye wɔ wʼanim.
29 Men and brethren, permit me to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he hath been both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us to this day.
“Anuanom, ɛsɛ sɛ meda mʼadwene adi pefee wɔ yɛn panin Dawid ho. Ɔwuiɛ na wɔsiee no, na ne damena da so wɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
30 Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Messiah to sit upon his throne;
Na ɔyɛ odiyifoɔ a ɔnim bɔ bi a Onyankopɔn ahyɛ no no. Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ bɔ bi sɛ ɔbɛyɛ Dawid aseni ɔhene, sɛdeɛ Dawid yɛ ɔhene no ara pɛ.
31 he, foreseeing this, spake of the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul should not be left in the mansion of the dead, and that his flesh should not see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
Dawid hunuu deɛ Onyankopɔn rebɛyɛ no, ɔkasa faa owusɔreɛ a ɛfa Agyenkwa no ho sɛ, ‘Wɔannya no awufoɔ mu. Ne honam nso amporɔ.’ (Hadēs g86)
32 This very Jesus hath God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.
Onyankopɔn anyane saa Yesu yi afiri owuo mu, na yɛn nyinaa yɛ saa asɛm yi ho adansefoɔ.
33 He therefore being exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, hath poured out this, which ye now see and hear.
Wɔahyɛ no animuonyam de no akɔtena Onyankopɔn nifa so ma ne nsa aka Honhom Kronkron no a Agya no hyɛɛ no ɛho bɔ no; ɛno na wahwie agu yɛn so a ɛho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ na mohunu na mote yi.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: for he saith himself, “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit on my right hand,
Dawid ankasa de, wankɔ ɔsoro, na mmom, ɔkaa sɛ, “‘Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me wura sɛ, “Tena me nsa nifa so ha,
35 until I make thine enemies a footstool for thy feet.”
kɔsi sɛ mede wʼatamfoɔ bɛyɛ wo nan ntiasoɔ.”’
36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him Lord and Messiah, even that very Jesus whom ye crucified.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa hunu sɛ, mo na mobɔɔ saa Yesu yi a Onyankopɔn ayɛ no Awurade ne Agyenkwa no asɛnnua mu.”
37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Ɛberɛ a nnipa no tee saa asɛm yi no, ɛhaa wɔn yie. Enti, wɔbisaa Petro ne asomafoɔ a aka no sɛ, “Anuanom, ɛdeɛn na yɛnyɛ?”
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptised every one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnu mo ho na wɔmmɔ mo asu wɔ Yesu Kristo din mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔde mo bɔne bɛkyɛ mo na moanya Onyankopɔn akyɛdeɛ a ɛyɛ Honhom Kronkron no.
39 For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off; even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ Honhom Kronkron yi ho bɔ maa mo ne mo mma ne wɔn a wɔtete akyirikyiri ne wɔn a Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, bɛfrɛ wɔn aba ne nkyɛn no nyinaa.”
40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted, saying, Be saved from this untoward generation.
Petro kaa nsɛm bebree kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnye mo ho mfiri asotwe a ɛreba saa nnebɔneyɛfoɔ yi so no mu.”
41 They therefore who gladly received his discourse were baptised: and there were added to them that day about three thousand souls.
Wɔn mu dodoɔ no ara gyee asɛm no diiɛ maa wɔbɔɔ wɔn asu. Saa ɛda no, nnipa bɛyɛ mpensa na wɔbɛkaa agyidifoɔ no ho.
42 And they persevered stedfastly in the doctrine of the apostles, and in communion, and in breaking bread, and in prayers.
Daa na wɔde wɔn adagyeɛ nyinaa sua asomafoɔ no nkyerɛkyerɛ. Wɔne wɔn nyaa ayɔnkofa, hyia didi bɔɔ mu ne wɔn bɔɔ mpaeɛ.
43 And on every soul there was an awe: and many miracles and signs were done by the apostles.
Asomafoɔ no yɛɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ bebree maa obiara a ɔhunuiɛ no ho dwirii no.
44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things common;
Agyidifoɔ no nyinaa kɔɔ so tenaa ase sɛ nnipa korɔ, na wɔkyekyɛɛ wɔn ahodeɛ mu momaa wɔn ho wɔn ho.
45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as every one had need.
Wɔtɔn wɔn ahodeɛ kyekyɛɛ sika a wɔnya firii mu no maa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛdeɛ ɛho hia obiara.
46 And daily continuing with one mind at the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with great joy and simplicity of heart,
Daa na wɔbɔ mu hyia wɔ asɔredan mu de anigyeɛ ne akoma pa bɔ mu didi wɔ wɔn afie mu, kamfo Onyankopɔn, nya animuonyam wɔ nnipa anim.
47 praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added the saved ones daily to the church.
Ɛda biara na Awurade de wɔn a ɔgye wɔn nkwa no bɛka wɔn ho.
