Acts 4
1 AND as they were thus speaking, the priests, and the captain of the temple-guard, and the Sadducees, came upon 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 worn down with vexation, because they taught the people, and preached by Jesus the resurrection of 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 committed them to prison till the next day: for it was then evening.
Wɔkyeree asomafoɔ no, nanso ɛsiane sɛ na adeɛ asa enti, wɔde wɔn guu afiase kɔsii adekyeeɛ.
4 But many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
Nanso nnipa a wɔtee asɛm no mu dodoɔ no ara bɛyɛ sɛ mpemnum gyee asɛm no diiɛ.
5 Now it came to pass that the next morning, their rulers, and elders, and scribes, were assembled at Jerusalem,
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, Yudafoɔ mpanin, mpanimfoɔ ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ hyiaa wɔ Yerusalem.
6 and Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were the high-priest’s relations.
Wɔhyiaa Ɔsɔfopanin Anas ne Kaiafa ne Yohane ne Aleksandro ne afoforɔ a wɔfiri Ɔsɔfopanin no abusua mu.
7 And placing them in the midst, they interrogated them, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this thing?
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 Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
Petro a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no buaa sɛ, “Ɔman mpanimfoɔ ne atitire.
9 if we are this day examined relative to the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he was restored;
Sɛ ɛnnɛ mogyina ha bisa yɛn ade pa a yɛyɛ maa obubuafoɔ no maa ne ho tɔɔ no no a,
10 be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him doth this man stand here sound in your presence.
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 This is the stone which, though set at nought by you builders, is 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 person: for there is no other name under heaven given unto men, whereby we must be saved.
Ɔno nko ara mu na nkwagyeɛ wɔ; ɛfiri sɛ, edin biara nni ewiase ha a nnipa nam so bɛnya nkwagyeɛ.”
13 Attentively regarding then the noble confidence of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were men unlettered, and destitute of education, they were astonished; and they recollected them, 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 But seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they had not a word to reply in contradiction.
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 bidding them retire out of the council-chamber, they conferred among themselves,
Wɔmaa wɔfirii asɛnniiɛ hɔ ma wɔdwendwenee asɛm no ho.
16 saying, What shall we do with these men? for that an acknowledged miracle hath been wrought by them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 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 that it be no farther spread among the people, we will menace them with threats, no more to speak 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 So calling them in, they charged them not to speak in any manner, nor to teach, 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 But Peter and John, answering them, said, If it be right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, be yourselves the judges.
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 cannot refrain from speaking the things which we have seen and heard.
Deɛ yɛahunu ne deɛ yɛate deɛ, yɛrentumi nnyae ho asɛnka.”
21 Then they with many additional threatenings dismissed them, finding no pretext how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for what had been done.
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 was more than forty years of age, upon whom this miracle of healing was performed.
Na ɔbarima a wɔnam anwanwakwan so saa no yadeɛ no adi boro mfeɛ aduanan.
23 But they being dismissed, came unto their own friends, and told them all things which the high-priests and elders had said.
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 Now when they heard it, they lifted up their united voice to God, and said, Lord, thou art the God which made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things which are 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 mouth of David thy servant saidst, Why do the heathen so furiously rage, and the people meditate vain things?
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 rose up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Messiah.
Asase so ahemfo sɔre gyina na atumfoɔ bom tu agyina tia Awurade ne Agyenkwa no.
27 For they have been in truth collected together against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, even Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel,
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 all that thy hand and thy counsel predestined should come to pass.
Wɔhyia yɛɛ biribiara a wonam wo tumi ne wo pɛ so ahyɛ ato hɔ sɛ ɛbɛba mu no.
29 And as to the present transactions, Lord, look upon their threatnings: and grant thy servants power with all boldness to speak thy word,
Afei, Awurade, hwɛ ahunahuna a wɔrehunahuna yɛn yi na ma yɛn a yɛyɛ wʼasomfoɔ yi mfa akokoɔduru nka wʼasɛm yi.
30 by stretching out thy hand for healing; and that signs and miracles may be performed by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
Ma wo nsa so fa sa nyarewa, na fa wo ɔsomfoɔ Kronkron Yesu Kristo din so yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne anwanwadeɛ.”
31 And while they were praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
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 And in the multitude of those that believed there was one heart and soul: and not one person said, that any part of his substance was his peculiar property; but all things were in common among 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 bore the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
Asomafoɔ no nam tumi a emu yɛ den so dii Awurade Yesu wusɔreɛ no ho adanseɛ na Onyankopɔn hyiraa wɔn nyinaa.
34 Neither was there any person in want among them: for as many as were possessors of fields or houses disposed of them, and brought the prices of the things sold,
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 laid them at the apostles’ feet: and a distribution was made to every one according as he had need.
brɛɛ asomafoɔ no maa wɔkyekyɛeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛho hia obiara.
36 And Joses, who was surnamed Barnabas by the apostles, (which is, being interpreted, A son of consolation, ) a Levite, a Cyprian by birth,
Yosef a na ɔyɛ Lewini a ɔfiri Kipro a na asomafoɔ no frɛ no Barnaba, a asekyerɛ ne “Nkuranhyɛ Ba” no,
37 having a field belonging to him, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
tɔn nʼasase de sika a ɔnyaeɛ no brɛɛ asomafoɔ no.
