Acts 5
1 And a certain man, Ananias by name, with his wife Sapphira, sold a possession,
Ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Anania ne ne yere Safira kɔtɔn wɔn agyapade bi.
2 and kept back of the price—his wife also knowing—and having brought a certain part, he laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
Ɔne ne yere yi yɛɛ adwene de sika a wonyae no bi siei, na wɔde nkae no brɛɛ asomafo no.
3 And Peter said, “Ananias, why did Satan fill your heart, for you to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back of the price of the place?
Petro bisaa no se, “Anania, adɛn nti na woama ɔbonsam ho kwan ama wabɛhyɛ wo mu na woadi atoro akyerɛ Honhom Kronkron no na wode sika a wunyaa no bi asie?
4 While it remained, did it not remain yours? And having been sold, was it not in your authority? Why [is] it that you put this thing in your heart? You did not lie to men, but to God”;
Ansa na worebɛtɔn agyapade no na ɛnyɛ wʼankasa wo de; wotɔn wiee no nso sika a wunyae no, na ɛnyɛ wo de; na adɛn nti na woyɛɛ wʼadwene sɛ wobɛyɛ nea woayɛ yi? Ɛnyɛ nnipa na woadi atoro akyerɛ wɔn, na mmom woadi atoro akyerɛ Onyankopɔn.”
5 and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, expired, and great fear came on all who heard these things,
Anania tee saa asɛm yi ara pɛ, otwa hwee fam wui; na ehu kaa obiara a ɔtee saa asɛm no.
6 and having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having carried forth, they buried [him].
Wɔn mu mmerante no ba bɛkyekyeree amu no fii adi kosiee no.
7 And it came to pass, about three hours after, that his wife, not knowing what has happened, came in,
Ɛbɛyɛ nnɔnhwerew abiɛsa akyi no, ne yere a na onnim asɛm a asi no baa hɔ.
8 and Peter answered her, “Tell me if for so much you sold the place”; and she said, “Yes, for so much.”
Petro bisaa no se, “Wo ne wo kunu, motɔn mo asase no, sika a munyae nyinaa ara ni? Ka kyerɛ me.” Obuaa se, “Yiw ne nyinaa ne no.”
9 And Peter said to her, “How was it agreed by you to tempt the Spirit of the LORD? Behold, the feet of those who buried your husband [are] at the door, and they will carry you forth”;
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Adɛn nti na wo ne wo kunu penee so sɛ mobɛsɔ Onyankopɔn Honhom ahwɛ? Hwɛ! Nnipa a wokosiee wo kunu no gyina ɔpon yi akyi, na saa ara na wo nso, wɔbɛsoa wo akosie wo.”
10 and immediately she fell down at his feet, and expired, and the young men having come in, found her dead, and having carried forth, they buried [her] by her husband;
Amono mu hɔ ara, otwa hwee Petro anim wui. Mmerante no behuu sɛ wawu no, wɔsoaa no kosiee no wɔ ne kunu nkyɛn.
11 and great fear came on all the Assembly, and on all who heard these things.
Ehu kɛse bɔɔ asafo no nyinaa ne nnipa a wɔtee saa asɛm no.
12 And through the hands of the apostles came many signs and wonders among the people, and they were all with one accord in the porch of Solomon;
Na asomafo no taa hyia wɔ asɔredan no fa baabi a wɔfrɛ no “Salomo Abrannaa” so hɔ. Sɛ wohyia wɔ hɔ saa a, wɔyɛ anwonwade ahorow pii.
13 and of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them, but the people were magnifying them,
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na nnipa a wɔnka wɔn ho no di wɔn ho adanse pa de, nanso wɔn mu biara antumi amfa wɔn ho ankɔbɔ asomafo no ho.
14 (and the more were believers added to the LORD, multitudes of both men and women),
Akyiri no, nnipa dodow a wogyee Awurade dii no bɛkaa agyidifo no ho.
15 so as to bring forth the ailing into the broad places, and to lay [them] on beds and pallets, that at the coming of Peter, even [his] shadow might overshadow someone of them;
Esiane anwonwade a na asomafo no reyɛ no nti, wɔsoaa ayarefo baa mmɔnten so de wɔn totoo mpa ne akɛtɛ so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Petro sunsuma bɛtɔ wɔn mu bi so kɛkɛ.
16 and there were also coming together the people of the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, carrying ailing persons, and those harassed by unclean spirits—who were all healed.
Nkurɔfo a wofifi nkurow a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia no de wɔn ayarefo ne wɔn a ahonhommɔne wɔ wɔn mu no ba ma wɔsaa wɔn nyinaa yare.
17 And having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him—being the sect of the Sadducees—were filled with zeal,
Ɔsɔfopanyin ne ne dɔm ne Sadukifo no ani beree asomafo no so yiye enti wɔyɛɛ adwene sɛ wɔbɛtwe wɔn aso.
18 and laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in a public prison;
Ɛno nti, wɔkyeree asomafo no de wɔn koguu afiase.
19 but through the night a messenger of the LORD opened the doors of the prison, having also brought them forth, he said,
Da no ara anadwo, Awurade bɔfo behiɛɛ afiase apon no dii asomafo no anim ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
20 “Go on, and standing, speak in the temple to the people all the sayings of this life”;
“Monkɔ asɔredan mu nkɔka nkwa foforo yi ho asɛm nkyerɛ nnipa no.”
21 and having heard, they entered into the temple at the dawn, and were teaching. And the chief priest having come, and those with him, they called together the Sanhedrin and all the Senate of the sons of Israel, and they sent to the prison to have them brought,
Asomafo no dii asɛm a ɔbɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no so; enti anɔpahema no wɔkɔɔ asɔredan mu hɔ kofii ase kyerɛkyerɛe. Ɔsɔfopanyin no ne ne dɔm no frɛɛ Yudafo mpanyin ma wɔyɛɛ nhyiamu kɛse bi; afei wɔsoma ma wɔkɔɔ afiase hɔ sɛ wɔnkɔfa asomafo no mmra wɔn anim.
22 and the officers having come, did not find them in the prison, and having turned back, they told,
Nanso, bere a nnipa no duu afiase hɔ no, wɔanhu asomafo no; enti wɔsan ba bɛbɔɔ wɔn amanneɛ se,
23 saying, “We indeed found the prison shut in all safety, and the keepers standing outside before the doors, and having opened—we found no one within.”
“Bere a yeduu afiase hɔ no, yehuu sɛ wɔatoto afiase apon no nyinaa mu petee a awɛmfo no gyinagyina ano. Nanso yebuebuee apon no, yɛanhu obiara wɔ mu.”
24 And as the priest, and the magistrate of the temple, and the chief priests, heard these words, they were doubting concerning them to what this would come;
Bere a ɔpanyin a ɔhwɛ asɔredan mu awɛmfo no so ne asɔfo mpanyin no tee saa asɛm no, wɔn adwene mu yɛɛ wɔn naa, efisɛ na wonhu asɛm a asi.
25 and coming near, a certain one told them, saying, “Behold, the men whom you put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people”;
Ankyɛ koraa na ɔbarima bi baa hɔ bɛka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Nnipa a mode wɔn guu afiase no gyinagyina asɔredan no mu rekyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no.”
26 then the magistrate having gone away with officers, brought them without violence, for they were fearing the people, lest they should be stoned;
Awɛmfo no so panyin no tee asɛm no, ɔne ne nkurɔfo no kɔkyeree asomafo no de wɔn bae. Awɛmfo no so panyin no ne awɛmfo no amfa asomafo no amma ɔhyɛ so, efisɛ na wonim sɛ, sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, nnipa no besiw wɔn abo.
27 and having brought them, they set [them] in the Sanhedrin, and the chief priest questioned them,
Wɔde asomafo no begyinaa agyinatufo no anim ma Ɔsɔfopanyin no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
28 saying, “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this Name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring on us the blood of this Man.”
“Yɛhyɛɛ mo sɛ monnkyerɛkyerɛ wɔ Yesu din mu, nanso moantie. Mode mo nkyerɛkyerɛ yi afa Yerusalem baabiara, na mopɛ sɛ mokyerɛ sɛ, yɛn na yekum saa ɔbarima no!”
29 And Peter and the apostles answering, said, “It is required to obey God, rather than men;
Petro ne asomafo a wɔka ne ho no buaa wɔn se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ yetie Onyankopɔn na ɛnyɛ nnipa,
30 and the God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you slew, having hanged on a tree;
efisɛ mobɔɔ Yesu asennua mu, kum no no, yɛn agyanom Nyankopɔn nyan no fii owu mu.
31 this One, God, a Prince and a Savior, has exalted with His right hand, to give conversion to Israel, and forgiveness of sins;
Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no anuonyam de no tenaa ne nsa nifa so sɛ Ɔhene ne Agyenkwa a ɛnam no so bɛma Israelfo asakra wɔn adwene na wɔde wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn.
32 and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying Him.”
Yɛne Honhom Kronkron a ɛyɛ akyɛde a Awurade de ma wɔn a wotie no no di eyi ho adanse.”
33 And they having heard, were cut [to the heart], and were intending to slay them,
Agyinatufo no tee asɛm no, wɔn bo fuwii, na wɔkae se wobekum asomafo no.
34 but a certain one, having risen up in the Sanhedrin—a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of law honored by all the people—commanded to put the apostles forth a little,
Nanso wɔn mu baako a wɔfrɛ no Gamaliel a ɔyɛ Farisini na ɔsan yɛ Kyerɛwsɛm no kyerɛkyerɛfo a na nnipa bu no no sɔre gyina hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmfa asomafo no mfi adi.
35 and said to them, “Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves about these men, what you are about to do,
Afei, ɔkasa kyerɛɛ agyinatufo no se, “Me nuanom Israel mmarima, munnwen nea mopɛ sɛ moyɛ saa nnipa yi ho yiye.
36 for before these days Theudas rose up, saying that he was someone, to whom a number of men joined themselves, as it were four hundred, who was slain, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered, and came to nothing.
Ɛnkyɛe biara na ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Teuda sɔre kaa se ɔyɛ onipa titiriw bi maa nnipa bɛyɛ ahannan tu dii nʼakyi. Nanso wokum no maa nʼakyidifo no nyinaa bɔɔ ahwete.
37 After this one, Judas the Galilean rose up, in the days of the census, and drew away people after him, and that one perished, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered;
Nʼakyi na Yuda a ofi Galilea nso sɔree nnipakan bere no mu. Ɔno nso nnipa pii dii nʼakyi. Saa ara na ɔno nso wokum no maa nʼakyidifo no bɔɔ ahwete.
38 and now I say to you, refrain from these men, and leave them alone, because if this counsel or this work may be of men, it will be overthrown,
Ɛno nti mitu mo fo se, munnyaa saa nnipa yi ma wɔnkɔ wɔn baabi. Sɛ wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ ne wɔn nnwuma yi fi onipa a, ebegu.
39 and if it be of God, you are not able to overthrow it, lest perhaps you are also found fighting against God.”
Nanso sɛ efi Onyankopɔn a, morentumi nsiw wɔn kwan. Mubehu sɛ moreko atia Onyankopɔn.”
40 And to him they agreed, and having called near the apostles, having beaten [them], they commanded [them] not to speak in the Name of Jesus, and let them go;
Agyinatufo no tiee Gamaliel afotu no. Wɔma wɔde asomafo no ba ma wɔbɔɔ wɔn mmaa hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmmɔ Yesu din mfa nkyerɛkyerɛ bio. Afei wogyaa wɔn.
41 they, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that for His Name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor,
Esiane sɛ asomafo no huu sɛ ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wohu amane wɔ Yesu din mu no nti, wɔde anigye na efii asennii hɔ.
42 also every day in the temple, and in every house, they were not ceasing teaching and proclaiming good news—Jesus the Christ.
Wɔannyae Yesu Kristo ho asɛmpa no ka ne nkyerɛkyerɛ wɔ hyiadan ne afi mu da.
