Acts 8
1 And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution on the Assembly in Jerusalem, all were also scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;
Saulo penee kum a wokum Stefano no so. Saa da no ara, wɔtaa agyidifo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no maa wɔn nyinaa bɔɔ ahwete kɔɔ Yudea ne Samaria nsase so ma ɛkaa asomafo no nko ara.
2 and devout men carried Stephen away, and made great lamentation over him;
Onyamesurofo bi kɔfaa Stefano kosiee no. Wosuu no yiye.
3 and Saul was making havoc of the Assembly, entering into every house, and dragging away men and women, giving them up to prison;
Esiane sɛ na Saulo pɛ sɛ ogu asafo no nti ɔkɔɔ afi mu kɔkyekyeree agyidifo mmarima ne mmea de wɔn guu afiase.
4 they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news—the word.
Agyidifo a na wɔabɔ ahwete no kaa asɛmpa no wɔ baabiara a wɔkɔe.
5 And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching the Christ to them;
Filipo kɔɔ Samaria kurow bi mu kɔkaa Agyenkwa no ho asɛm kyerɛɛ nnipa a na wɔwɔ hɔ no.
6 the multitudes were also giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
Bere a nnipakuw no tee asɛm a Filipo reka na wohuu anwonwade a ɔyɛe no, wɔn nyinaa tiee no.
7 for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,
Ahonhommɔne de nteɛteɛmu fii nnipa bebree mu. Saa ara na mmubuafo ne mpakye nso sɔre nantewee.
8 and there was great joy in that city.
Eyi nti anigye baa Samaria.
9 And a certain man, by name Simon, was previously in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
Na ɔbarima bi te saa kurow yi mu a wɔfrɛ no Simon a ɔyɛ nkonyaayifo a esiane ne nkonyaayi no nti Samariafo pii gye no di. Na ɔyɛ obi a ɔhoahoa ne ho sɛ odi mu.
10 to whom they were all giving heed, from small to great, saying, “This one is the great power of God”;
Eyi maa nnipa a wɔwɔ kurow no mu no nyinaa gyee no too mu kae se, “Saa onipa yi ne Onyankopɔn tumi a wɔfrɛ no Ɔkɛse no.”
11 and they were giving heed to him, because of his having amazed them for a long time with deeds of magic.
Esiane ne nkonyaa a na oyi no nti, ɛmaa nnipa no nyinaa tu dii nʼakyi.
12 And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the Kingdom of God and the Name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed—both men and women;
Bere a saa nnipa yi gyee asɛmpa a Filipo ka faa Onyankopɔn ahenni ne Yesu Kristo din no ho dii no, wɔbɔɔ mmarima ne mmea nyinaa asu.
13 and Simon himself also believed, and having been immersed, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
Simon nso gye dii ma wɔbɔɔ no asu. Baabiara a Filipo kɔe no, Simon dii nʼakyi. Anwonwade a ohuu no maa ne ho dwiriw no.
14 And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent Peter and John to them,
Bere a asomafo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no tee sɛ Samariafo agye Onyankopɔn asɛm no adi no, wɔsomaa Petro ne Yohane kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
15 who having come down prayed concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit—
Woduu hɔ no, wɔbɔɔ mpae maa agyidifo no sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Honhom Kronkron bɛba wɔn so,
16 for as yet He was fallen on none of them, and only they have been immersed—into the Name of the Lord Jesus;
efisɛ saa bere no na asu kɛkɛ na wɔnam Awurade Yesu din so abɔ. Na Honhom Kronkron nnya mmaa wɔn so ɛ.
17 then they were laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Afei Petro ne Yohane de wɔn nsa guguu wɔn so maa Honhom Kronkron baa wɔn so.
18 And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Spirit is given, brought money before them,
Simon huu sɛ asomafo no nsa a wɔde guguu wɔn so no na ɛma wonyaa Honhom Kronkron no, ɔmaa Petro ne Yohane sika srɛɛ sɛ,
19 saying, “Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.”
“Momma me saa tumi yi bi na obiara a mede me nsa begu no so no anya Honhom Kronkron no bi.”
20 And Peter said to him, “Your silver with you—may it be to destruction! Because you thought to possess the gift of God through money;
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nnome nka wo ne wo sika nyinaa, efisɛ wususuw sɛ wubetumi de sika atɔ Onyankopɔn akyɛde no.
21 you have neither part nor lot in this thing, for your heart is not right before God;
Wunni kyɛfa biara wɔ yɛn dwumadi yi mu, efisɛ wo koma mu ntew wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
22 convert, therefore, from this your wickedness, and implore God, if then the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you,
Sakra wʼadwene fi wo bɔne yi ho na bɔ mpae srɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔmfa wo bɔne nkyɛ wo.
23 for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive you being.”
Mihu sɛ anibere bɔne ahyɛ wo koma mu ama bɔne afa wo nnommum.”
24 And Simon answering, said, “Implore for me to the LORD, that nothing may come on me of the things you have spoken.”
Simon srɛɛ Petro ne Yohane se, “Mommɔ mpae mma me na saa nnome yi mu biara amma me so.”
25 They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the LORD, turned back to Jerusalem; they also proclaimed good news in many villages of the Samaritans.
Ansa na Petro ne Yohane redu Yerusalem no, wɔkaa asɛmpa no wɔ Samaria nkuraa bebree ase.
26 And a messenger of the LORD spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is desolate.)
Awurade bɔfo ka kyerɛɛ Filipo se, “Sɔre siesie wo ho kɔ anafo kwan a efi Yerusalem kɔ Gasa no so.”
27 And having arisen, he went on, and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;
Bere a Filipo rekɔ no, ohyiaa Etiopiani piamni bi a ɔyɛ Etiopiahemmea Kandake dabeni. Na saa onipa yi akɔ asɔre wɔ Yerusalem,
28 he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
a na ɔte ne teaseɛnam mu resan akɔ fie. Na ɔrekenkan Odiyifo Yesaia nhoma no.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and be joined to this chariot”;
Honhom Kronkron ka kyerɛɛ Filipo se, “Twiw bɛn no.”
30 and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you then know what you read?”
Filipo yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ teaseɛnam no ho na ɔtee sɛ ɔrekenkan Odiyifo Yesaia nhoma no, obisaa se, “Wote nea worekenkan yi ase ana?”
31 And he said, “Why, how am I able, if someone may not guide me?” He called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.
Piamni no buaa no se, “Mɛyɛ dɛn na mate ase? Gye sɛ obi kyerɛ me ase.” Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Filipo se ɔmforo mmɛtena ne nkyɛn wɔ ne teaseɛnam no mu.
32 And the passage of the Writing that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter, And as a lamb before his shearer is silent, So He does not open His mouth;
Na piamni no rekenkan saa Kyerɛwsɛm yi: “Ɔte sɛ oguamma a wɔrekokum no. Sɛnea oguamma yɛ komm wɔ ne nwitwitwafo anim no, saa ara na wammue nʼano.
33 In His humiliation His judgment was taken away, And His generation—who will declare? Because His life is taken from the earth.”
Nʼanimguase mu, wannya odimafo. Na hena na ɔbɛka nʼasefo ho asɛm? Efisɛ woyii no fii asase yi so.”
34 And the eunuch answering Philip said, “I beg you, about whom does the prophet say this? About himself, or about some other one?”
Piamni no bisaa Filipo se, “Odiyifo no reka nʼankasa ho asɛm anaa obi foforo ho asɛm?”
35 And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him—Jesus.
Filipo nam saa asɛm no so kaa nsɛmpa a ɛfa Yesu ho no kyerɛɛ no.
36 And as they were going on the way, they came on some water, and the eunuch said, “Behold, water; what hinders me to be immersed?”
Wɔrekɔ no woduu asu bi ho. Piamni no ka kyerɛɛ Filipo se, “Nsu ni. Dɛn na esiw wo kwan sɛ wobɔ me asu?”
37 [[And Philip said, “If you believe out of all the heart, it is lawful”; and he answering said, “I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God”; ]]
Filipo ka kyerɛ no se, “Sɛ wufi wo koma mu gye di a, mɛbɔ wo asu.” Piamni no buaa no se, “Migye di. Migye di sɛ Yesu Kristo yɛ Onyankopɔn Ba.”
38 and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him;
Piamni no hyɛ maa teaseɛnam no gyinae. Ɔne Filipo kɔɔ asu no ho ma ɔbɔɔ no asu.
39 and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the LORD snatched up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
Wofi nsu no mu no, Onyankopɔn Honhom hwim Filipo fii piamni no nkyɛn kɔe. Wanhu Filipo bio de, nanso ɔde anigye toaa nʼakwantu no so.
40 and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, until his coming to Caesarea.
Filipo kopuee Asoto kɔɔ so kaa asɛmpa no wɔ nkurow no mu kosii sɛ okoduu Kaesarea.
