Acts 28
1 And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Malta,
Yeduu mpoano hɔ no, ankyɛ na yehuu sɛ yɛwɔ supɔw Malta so.
2 and the foreigners were showing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;
Supɔw no sofo no gyee yɛn fɛw so. Esiane sɛ na osu atɔ ama awɔw aba nti, wɔsɔɔ ogya ma yɛtoe.
3 but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] on the fire, a viper—having come out of the heat—fastened on his hand.
Paulo bubuu mmabaa sɛ ɔde regu ogya no mu. Ɔde regu mu no, ɔwɔ bi a ogya no hyew aka no no bebaree ne nsa ho.
4 And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not permit to live”;
Supɔw no sofo no huu ɔwɔ no sɛ ɔbebare ne nsa ho no, wɔkae se, “Saa onipa yi yɛ owudifo a wanya ne ti adidi mu wɔ po akwanhyia mu, nanso esiane ne bɔne nti owu ara na etwa sɛ owu.”
5 he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
Paulo petee ɔwɔ no too ogya no mu a hwee anyɛ no.
6 and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to suddenly fall down dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said he was a god.
Na nkurɔfo no nyinaa susuw sɛ Paulo bɛhonhon anaasɛ obetwa ahwe awu. Nanso wɔtwɛn ara a biribiara anyɛ no no, wɔsakraa wɔn adwene kae se, “Ɔyɛ onyame bi.”
7 And in the neighborhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, courteously lodged [us for] three days;
Na ɔpanyin a ɔhwɛ supɔw no so a wɔfrɛ no Publio no fi bɛn mpoano hɔ; ogyee yɛn fɛw so som yɛn hɔho nnansa.
8 and it came to pass, the father of Publius was lying, oppressed with fevers and dysentery, to whom Paul, having entered and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;
Saa bere no ara na Publio agya yare atiridii ne konkoruwa a aka no ato hɔ. Paulo kɔɔ ɔdan a na ɔda mu no mu de ne nsa guu no so, bɔɔ mpae maa ne ho yɛɛ no den.
9 this, therefore, being done, also the others in the island having sicknesses were coming and were healed;
Nea Paulo yɛe no maa ayarefo a wɔwɔ supɔw no so no nyinaa baa ne nkyɛn ma ɔsaa wɔn yare.
10 who also honored us with many honors, and we setting sail—they were loading [us] with the things that were necessary.
Wɔmaa yɛn akyɛde bebree. Yɛrebefi hɔ akɔ no nso wɔde biribiara a ɛho hia yɛn no beguu hyɛn no mu maa yɛn.
11 And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the island) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
Yedii asram abiɛsa wɔ supɔw no so ansa na yenyaa hyɛn bi a efi Aleksandria a ne nsɛnkyerɛnne yɛ eti abien a egyina hɔ ma anyame baanu bi. Na saa hyɛn no abedi awɔwbere no wɔ supɔw no so.
12 and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
Yeduu Sidarakusa no, yedii nnansa wɔ hɔ.
13 there having gone around, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli,
Yefi hɔ toaa so koduu Regio. Ade kyee no, mframa bi bɔ fii anafo fam ma nnaanu akyi no yekoduu Puteoli.
14 where, having found brothers, we were called on to remain with them seven days, and thus we came to Rome;
Ɛha na yehyiaa agyidifo bi a wɔsrɛɛ yɛn se yɛntena wɔn nkyɛn nnaawɔtwe. Ɛno akyi no, yɛtoaa so koduu Roma.
15 and there, the brothers having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, as far as [the] Forum of Appius, and Three Taverns—whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
Anuanom a wɔwɔ Roma no tee yɛn nka sɛ yɛreba no, ebinom behyiaa yɛn kwan wɔ aguabɔbea a ɛwɔ Apia kwan no so na afoforo nso hyiaa yɛn wɔ ahɔhobea bi a wɔfrɛ no Ahɔhodan Abiɛsa no. Bere a Paulo huu wɔn no, ne ho san no na ɔdaa Onyankopɔn ase.
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barracks, but Paul was permitted to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
Yeduu Roma no, wɔmaa Paulo ho kwan sɛ ɔnkɔtena baabiara a ɔpɛ na ɔsraani bi nwɛn no.
17 And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said to them: “Men, brothers, I—having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers—a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up into the hands of the Romans;
Nnansa akyi no, Paulo frɛɛ Yudafo mpanyin ne wɔn hyiae. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Anuanom, ɛwɔ mu sɛ manyɛ bɔne biara antia yɛn man ne yɛn amanne a yɛn agyanom de gyaw sɛ yɛn no de, nanso wɔkyeree me sɛ odeduani wɔ Yerusalem de me hyɛɛ Romafo nsa.
18 who having examined me, were willing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,
Wobisaa me nsɛm pɛɛ sɛ wogyaa me, efisɛ wɔannya afɔbude bi wɔ me ho a ɛno nti ɛsɛ sɛ wogyina so kum me.
19 and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal to Caesar—not as having anything to accuse my nation of;
Nanso bere a Yudafo kasatia gyae a wɔpɛ sɛ wogyaa me no, mihuu sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ miguan toa Kaesare. Ɛnyɛ me nkurɔfo ho adwemmɔne a mewɔ nti na meyɛɛ saa.
20 for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
Eyi nti na mepɛɛ sɛ mihu mo na me ne mo kasa no; na onipa a Israelfo ani da no so no nti na nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn gu me yi.”
21 And they said to him, “We neither received letters concerning you from Judea, nor did anyone who came of the brothers declare or speak any evil concerning you,
Wobuaa Paulo se, “Yennyaa nhoma biara a efi Yudea a ɛfa wo ho na yɛntee wo ho asɛmmɔne biara nso mfii anuanom a wofi hɔ ba ha no nso nkyɛn.
22 and we think it good from you to hear what you think, for indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere”;
Nanso yɛpɛ sɛ yehu wʼadwene, efisɛ yenim sɛ nnipa kasa tia Kristofo a wo nso woka wɔn ho no wɔ baabiara.”
23 and having appointed him a day, more of them came to him, to the lodging, to whom he was setting [it] forth, testifying fully the Kingdom of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, from morning until evening,
Wɔhyɛɛ da bi sɛ wobehyia Paulo. Saa da no dui no, nnipa bebree kɔɔ ne nkyɛn wɔ faako a ɔte hɔ no. Ɔkaa Onyankopɔn ahenni no ho asɛm kyerɛɛ wɔn. Ɔnam Mose mmara ne nsɛm a adiyifo no kae no so kaa Yesu ho asɛm fi anɔpa kosii anadwo kyerɛɛ wɔn pɛɛ sɛ ɔdan wɔn adwene.
24 and some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
Nnipa no bi gyee Paulo asɛm a ɔkae no dii na bi nso annye anni.
25 And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke well through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
Bere a wɔregyigye wɔn ho wɔn ho akyinnye no, wofii hɔ kɔe. Na asɛm a etwa to a Paulo kae ne sɛ, “Nokwasɛm na Honhom Kronkron nam Odiyifo Yesaia so ka kyerɛɛ mo agyanom se,
26 saying, Go on to this people and say, With hearing you will hear, and you will not understand, and seeing you will see, and you will not perceive,
“Monkɔka asɛm yi nkyerɛ Yudafo se, ‘Ɔte de mobɛte, nanso morente ase. Ɔhwɛ de mobɛhwɛ, nanso morenhu,’
27 for the heart of this people was made obtuse, and with the ears they barely heard, and they closed their eyes, lest they may see with the eyes, and may understand with the heart, and should turn, and I may heal them.
efisɛ nnipa yi apirim wɔn koma; moasisiw mo aso, akatakata mo ani. Ɛnyɛ saa a, anka mo ani behu ade, na mo koma ate asɛm ase, na moanu mo ho asan aba me nkyɛn, na masa mo yare.”
28 Be it known, therefore, to you, that the salvation of God was sent to the nations, these also will hear it”;
Paulo kae se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ muhu sɛ Onyankopɔn nkwagye no adu amanamanmufo no nkyɛn. Wobetie!”
29 [[and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much debate among themselves; ]]
Paulo kaa saa asɛm yi wiei no, Yudafo no fii hɔ kɔe a na wɔregyigye wɔn ho wɔn ho akyinnye denneennen.
30 and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in to him,
Paulo tenaa hɔ mfe abien, a na ɔte ofi a ɔno ankasa tua ho ka mu, na nnipa bebree kɔɔ ne nkyɛn.
31 preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness—unforbidden.
Na ɔde akokoduru kaa Onyankopɔn Ahenni no ne Awurade Yesu Kristo ho asɛm.
