< Acts 14 >

1 And it came to pass at Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke in such a manner that a great multitude, both of the Jews and of the Greeks, believed.
Paulo ne Barnaba duruu Ikoniom no, wɔkɔɔ Yudafoɔ asɔredan mu. Wɔkasa ma Yudafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ bebree bɛyɛɛ agyidifoɔ.
2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the minds of the Gentiles, and filled them with malignity against the brethren.
Nanso, Yudafoɔ a wɔpoo Awurade asɛm no hwanyan amanamanmufoɔ no, sane tuu wɔn aso tiaa anuanom no.
3 They, however, staid there a considerable time, speaking boldly for the Lord; who gave attestation to the word of his grace, and granted signs and miracles to be done by their hands.
Asomafoɔ no tenaa hɔ kyɛreeɛ. Na Awurade nam tumi a ɔde maa wɔn ma wɔyɛɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ no so kyerɛɛ sɛ nsɛm a wɔka fa nʼadom ho no yɛ nokorɛ.
4 So the multitude of the city was divided; and some were with the Jews, and others with the Apostles.
Kuro no mu nnipa no mu kyɛɛ mmienu; ɛfa kɔɔ Yudafoɔ no afa na ɛfa nso kɔɔ asomafoɔ no afa.
5 But, as a violent attempt was made, both by the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to assault and stone them;
Amanamanmufoɔ ne Yudafoɔ no ne wɔn mpanimfoɔ yɛɛ adwene sɛ wɔbɛyɛ wɔn ayayadeɛ, asane asi wɔn aboɔ.
6 they, having received intelligence of it, fled to Lystra, and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the adjacent country:
Asomafoɔ no tee pɔ a wɔbɔ faa wɔn ho no, wɔdwane kɔɔ Listra ne Derbe a ɛwɔ Likaoniaman mu ne nkuraa a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa ase.
7 and there they declared the glad tidings.
Wɔkaa Asɛmpa no wɔ hɔ.
8 Now, there was a certain man at Lystra, disabled in his feet; so lame, from his birth, that he had never walked.
Ɛberɛ a Paulo ne Barnaba wɔ Listra no, wɔhunuu ɔbarima bi a na ɔyɛ obubuafoɔ firi nʼawoɔ mu.
9 This man heard Paul speaking, who, fixing his eyes upon him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed;
Paulo rekasa no, obubuafoɔ no tiee no maa Paulo hunuu sɛ ɔwɔ gyidie a ɛbɛma watumi agyina so asa no yadeɛ. Enti Paulo hwɛɛ obubuafoɔ no
10 said, with a loud voice, Stand upright on your feet. And he leaped up, and walked.
teaam sɛ, “Sɔre gyina hɔ!” Amonom, obubuafoɔ yi huri gyinaeɛ, hyɛɛ aseɛ nanteeɛ.
11 And the multitude, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voices, saying, in the Lycaonian language, The gods are descended to us in the likeness of men.
Nnipa no hunuu deɛ Paulo ayɛ no, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ teateaam wɔ Likaonia kasa mu sɛ, “Anyame ayeyɛ wɔn ho sɛ nnipa aba yɛn nkyɛn.”
12 And Barnabas they called Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker.
Yei enti wɔfrɛɛ Barnaba Seus ɛnna wɔfrɛɛ Paulo nso Hermes, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na na ɔka asɛm no.
13 And the priest of Jupiter, whose image was before the city, brought oxen, with garlands, to the gates; and would, with the multitude, have offered sacrifice to them.
Seus a na nʼasɔredan wɔ kurotia no ɔsɔfoɔ de nantwie ne nhwiren baa kuro no ɛpono ano, pɛɛ sɛ wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ma asomafoɔ no.
14 But the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, hearing of it, rent their mantles, and ran in among the multitude, crying out,
Ɛberɛ a Barnaba ne Paulo tee afɔdeɛ a nnipa no pɛ sɛ wɔbɔ no, wɔde abufuo sunsuanee wɔn ntadeɛ mu, tuu mmirika kɔɔ nnipakuo no mu teateaam sɛ,
15 and saying, Men, why do you these things? We are your fellow-mortals, and are declaring the glad tidings to you, that you may turn from these vanities to the living God; who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all living things which are in them:
“Ɛdeɛn na mopɛ sɛ moyɛ yi? Yɛyɛ nnipa te sɛ mo! Yɛaba sɛ yɛrebɛka asɛmpa no akyerɛ mo, ama moagyae saa nneɛma hunu yi yɛ, na mode mo ho ama Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro, asase, ɛpo ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu.
16 who, in former generations, permitted all the nations to walk in their own ways;
Ɛberɛ bi a atwa mu no, ɔmaa nnipa nyinaa kwan maa wɔyɛɛ deɛ wɔpɛ.
17 though he did not leave himself without witness, doing good, and giving us showers of rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn nam nneɛma pa a ɔyɛ so di nʼankasa ho adanseɛ. Mmerɛ a ɛsɛ mu no, ɔma osuo tɔ, ma nnɔbaeɛ ba; ɔma mo aduane di, ma monya ahotɔ.”
18 And, saying these things, they, with difficulty, restrained the people from sacrificing to them.
Nanso, saa kasa yi nyinaa akyi no, pɛ ara na nnipa no pɛɛ sɛ wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ma wɔn.
19 But Jews came thither from Antioch and Iconium, and persuaded the multitude; and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.
Yudafoɔ bi firi Antiokia a ɛwɔ Pisidia ne Ikoniom tuu nnipa no aso maa wɔsii Paulo aboɔ, twee no firii kuro no mu; na wɔsusu sɛ wawu.
20 But, as the disciples were gathered about him, he rose up, and entered into the city; and the next day he departed, with Barnabas, to Derbe.
Nanso, ɛberɛ a agyidifoɔ no bɛtwaa ne ho hyiaeɛ no, ɔsɔre sane kɔɔ kuro no mu. Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, ɔne Barnaba firii hɔ kɔɔ Derbe.
21 And having declared the gospel to that city, and made a considerable number of disciples; they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,
Paulo ne Barnaba kaa asɛmpa no wɔ Derbe maa nnipa pii gye diiɛ. Wɔfiri hɔ no, wɔsane kɔɔ Listra, Ikoniom ne Antiokia a ɛwɔ Pisidia.
22 confirming the souls of the disciples; exhorting them to continue in the faith, and testifying that it is necessary we should enter into the kingdom of God through many tribulations.
Wɔhyɛɛ agyidifoɔ no nkuran sɛ wɔntena ase gyidie mu. Wɔka kyerɛɛ agyidifoɔ yi sɛ, “Ansa na yɛbɛtumi akɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛfa ɔhaw ahodoɔ pii mu.”
23 And when they had constituted elders for them, in every congregation, having prayed to God, with fasting; they committed them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
Asafo biara a wɔkɔɔ mu no, wɔsisii mpanimfoɔ maa wɔn; na wɔnam mpaeɛbɔ ne mmuadadie so de mpanimfoɔ no hyɛɛ Awurade a wɔde wɔn ho ato no so no nsa.
24 And passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
Wɔfiri Pisidia no, wɔbaa Pamfilia.
25 And having spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
Wɔkaa asɛmpa no wɔ Perge, na wɔfiri hɔ baa Atalia.
26 And they sailed thence to Antioch, whence they had been recommended to the grace of God, for that work which they had accomplished.
Wɔfiri Atalia no, wɔsane baa Antiokia a ɛhɔ na ɛberɛ a na wɔrebɛfiri saa adwuma a wɔawie yi ase no, wɔde wɔn hyɛɛ Awurade adom nsa no.
27 And when they were come thither, and had gathered the congregation together, they related what God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
Ɛberɛ a wɔduruu Antiokia no, wɔhyiaa asafo no mu nnipa nyinaa. Wɔkaa nneɛma a Onyankopɔn nam wɔn so ayɛ, ne sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn abue ɛkwan ama amanamanmufoɔ agye asɛm no adi no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
28 And they spent a considerable time there with the disciples.
Paulo ne Barnaba tenaa agyidifoɔ no nkyɛn kyɛreeɛ.
