Acts 4
1 And as they are speaking to the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees—
Bere a Petro ne Yohane gu so rekasa akyerɛ nkurɔfo no, asɔfo ne ɔpanyin a ɔhwɛ awɛmfo a wɔhwɛ asɔredan no so no ne Sadukifo baa wɔn nkyɛn.
2 being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the resurrection out of the dead—
Wɔn bo fuw yiye, efisɛ na saa asomafo yi rekyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no sɛ Yesu asɔre afi owu mu a ɛkyerɛ sɛ awufo tumi nyan ba nkwa mu.
3 and they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was evening already;
Wɔkyeree asomafo no, nanso esiane sɛ na ade asa nti, wɔde wɔn guu afiase kosii adekyee.
4 and many of those hearing the word believed, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.
Nanso nnipa a wɔtee asɛm no mu dodow no ara bɛyɛ sɛ mpem anum gyee asɛm no dii.
5 And it came to pass the next day, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem,
Ade kyee no, Yudafo mpanyin, mpanyimfo ne Kyerɛwsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfo hyiaa wɔ Yerusalem.
6 and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the chief priest,
Wohyiaa Ɔsɔfopanyin Anas ne Kaiafa ne Yohane ne Aleksandro ne afoforo a wofi Ɔsɔfopanyin no abusua mu.
7 and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, “In what power, or in what name did you do this?”
Wɔma wɔde asomafo baanu yi baa wɔn anim bisaa wɔn se, “Tumi bɛn anaa hena din na mode yɛɛ eyi?”
8 Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
Petro a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no buae se, “Ɔman mpanyimfo ne atitiriw.
9 if we are examined today concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he has been saved,
Sɛ nnɛ mugyina ha bisa yɛn ade pa a yɛyɛ maa obubuafo no maa ne ho tɔɔ no no a,
10 be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised out of the dead, in Him has this one stood by before you whole.
ɛno de ɛsɛ sɛ mo ne Israelfo nyinaa hu sɛ saa onipa a ogyina ha yi, ɛnam Yesu Kristo a ofi Nasaret a mobɔɔ no asennua mu na Onyankopɔn nyan no fii awufo mu no tumi mu na ne ho ayɛ no den.”
11 This is the stone that was set at nothing by you—the builders, that became head of a corner;
Yesu ne onipa a Kyerɛwsɛm ka fa ne ho se, “‘Ɔbo a mo adansifo poe no na abɛyɛ tweatibo.’
12 and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under Heaven that has been given among men, in which it is required of us to be saved.”
Ɔno nko ara mu na nkwagye wɔ; efisɛ din biara nni wiase ha a nnipa nam so benya nkwagye.”
13 And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are illiterate men and commoners, they were wondering—they were also taking knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus—
Ɛyɛɛ agyinatufo no ahodwiriw sɛ Petro ne Yohane a wonsuaa nhoma da na wɔyɛ nnipa teta no tumi kasaa akokoduru so saa. Wohuu sɛ saa asomafo yi ne Yesu nantewee.
14 and seeing the man standing with them who has been healed, they had nothing to say against [it],
Nnipa no antumi anka asɛm biara bio, efisɛ wohuu sɛ ɔbarima a na ne ho atɔ no no ne Petro ne Yohane gyina hɔ.
15 and having commanded them to go away out of the Sanhedrin, they took counsel with one another,
Wɔma wofii asennii hɔ ma wodwinnwen asɛm no ho.
16 saying, “What will we do to these men? Because that, indeed, a notable sign has been done through them [is] apparent to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny [it];
Wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Dɛn na yɛnyɛ saa nnipa yi? Obiara a ɔwɔ Yerusalem ha ate sɛ saa nnipa yi ayɛ anwonwade a yɛrentumi ntwa ho nkontompo.
17 but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them to no longer speak in this Name to any man.”
Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a saa nnipa yi remma saa asɛm yi ntrɛw nkɔ afoforo nkyɛn no, momma yɛmfrɛ wɔn, mmɔ wɔn kɔkɔ, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔremmɔ Yesu din nkyerɛ obiara bio.”
18 And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the Name of Jesus,
Wɔfrɛɛ asomafo baanu yi bae, hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wonni ho kwan biara sɛ wɔbɔ Yesu Kristo din anaa wɔkyerɛkyerɛ wɔ ne din mu.
19 and Peter and John answering to them said, “Whether it is righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge;
Petro ne Yohane buaa wɔn se, “Sɛ yebetie Onyankopɔn anaa yebetie mo no, emu nea ɛwɔ he na eye? Mo ara mummua mfa.
20 for we cannot but speak what we saw and heard.”
Nea yɛahu ne nea yɛate de, yɛrentumi nnyae ho asɛnka.”
21 And they having further threatened [them], let them go, finding no way how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which has been done,
Agyinatufo no bɔɔ wɔn kɔkɔ bio gyaa wɔn, efisɛ wɔannya biribiara annyina so antwe wɔn aso; afei nso na nnipa no nyinaa rekamfo Onyankopɔn wɔ asɛm a asi no ho.
22 for above forty years of age was the man on whom had been done this sign of the healing.
Na ɔbarima a wɔnam anwonwakwan so saa no yare no adi boro mfe aduanan.
23 And being let go, they went to their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said to them,
Wogyaa Petro ne Yohane pɛ na wɔkɔɔ agyidifo a wɔaka no nkyɛn kɔkaa nea asɔfo mpanyin ne mpanyimfo no kae no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
24 and they having heard, lifted up the voice to God with one accord and said, “LORD, You [are] God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that [are] in them,
Bere a wɔtee saa asɛm no, wɔn nyinaa bɔɔ mu bɔɔ mpae se, “Owura, Ɔbɔade a wobɔɔ ɔsoro, asase ne po ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu,
25 who, through the mouth of Your servant David, said, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?
wonam Honhom Kronkron so nam yɛn nena Dawid a ɔyɛ wʼakoa no so ma ɔkae se, “Adɛn nti na amanaman no hyehyɛ bɔne ho, na nnipa no bɔ pɔw hunu yi?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the LORD and against His Christ;
Asase so ahemfo sɔre gyina na atumfo bɔ mu tu agyina tia Awurade ne Agyenkwa no.
27 for gathered together of a truth against Your holy child Jesus, whom You anointed, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel,
Ampa ara Herode ne Pontio Pilato ne amanamanmufo ne Israelfo hyiaa wɔ kurow kɛse yi mu sɔre tiaa Yesu a ɔyɛ Ɔsomfo Kronkron a woatew ne ho no.
28 to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel determined before to come to pass.
Wohyia yɛɛ biribiara a wonam wo tumi ne wo pɛ so ahyɛ ato hɔ sɛ ɛbɛba mu no.
29 And now, LORD, look on their threatenings, and grant to Your servants to speak Your word with all freedom,
Afei Awurade, hwɛ ahunahuna a wɔrehunahuna yɛn yi na ma yɛn a yɛyɛ wʼasomfo yi mfa akokoduru nka wʼasɛm yi.
30 in the stretching forth of Your hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the Name of Your holy child Jesus.”
Ma wo nsa so fa sa nyarewa, na fa wo somfo Kronkron Yesu Kristo din so yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ne anwonwade.”
31 And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,
Wɔbɔɔ mpae wiee no, faako a wohyiaa hɔ wosowee. Honhom Kronkron bɛhyɛɛ wɔn nyinaa ma ma na wofii ase de akokoduru kaa Onyankopɔn asɛm.
32 and of the multitude of those who believed, the heart and the soul were one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were in common to them.
Agyidifo no nyinaa tenaa ase sɛ nnipa koro. Wɔn mu bi anka se nʼankasa ahode bi yɛ ɔno nko ara de; biribiara a wɔwɔ no, wɔn nyinaa kyekyɛɛ mu pɛ fae.
33 And with great power the apostles were giving the testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, great grace was also on them all,
Asomafo no nam tumi a emu yɛ den so dii Awurade Yesu wusɔre no ho adanse na Onyankopɔn hyiraa wɔn nyinaa.
34 for there was not anyone among them who lacked, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling [them], were bringing the prices of the thing sold,
Biribiara ho anhia obiara a ɔfra kuw no mu, efisɛ wɔn a na wɔwɔ nsase ne afi no tontɔnee, de sika a wonya fii mu no
35 and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as anyone had need.
brɛɛ asomafo no ma wɔkyekyɛɛ sɛnea ɛho hia obiara.
36 And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas—which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort—a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,
Yosef a na ɔyɛ Lewini a ofi Kipro a na asomafo no frɛ no Barnaba, a ne nkyerɛase ne “Nkuranhyɛ Ba” no,
37 a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
tɔn nʼasase de sika a onyae no brɛɛ asomafo no.
