Acts 5
1 But a certain man, named Ananias, with Sapphira, his wife, sold an estate,
Ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Anania ne ne yere Safira kɔtɔn wɔn agyapadeɛ bi.
2 and secreted a part of the price, his wife also, being privy to it: and bringing a certain part, he laid it down at the feet of the Apostles.
Ɔne ne yere yi yɛɛ adwene de sika a wɔnyaeɛ no bi sieeɛ na wɔde nkaeɛ no brɛɛ asomafoɔ no.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart, that you should attempt to impose on the Holy Spirit, and to secrete a part of the price of the land?
Petro bisaa no sɛ, “Anania, adɛn enti na woama ɔbonsam ho kwan ama wabɛhyɛ wo mu na woadi atorɔ akyerɛ Honhom Kronkron no na wode sika a wonyaeɛ no bi asie?
4 While it remained, did it not continue yours? and when it was sold, was it not at your own disposal? Why have you admitted this thing into your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.
Ansa na worebɛtɔn agyapadeɛ no na ɛyɛ wʼankasa wo dea; wotɔn wieeɛ no nso, sika a wonyaeɛ no, na ɛyɛ wo dea; na adɛn enti na woyɛɛ wʼadwene sɛ wobɛyɛ deɛ woayɛ yi? Ɛnyɛ nnipa na woadi atorɔ akyerɛ wɔn, na mmom, woadi atorɔ akyerɛ Onyankopɔn.”
5 And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and expired: and great fear fell on all that heard these things.
Anania tee saa asɛm yi ara pɛ, ɔtwa hwee fam wuiɛ; na ehu kaa obiara a ɔtee saa asɛm yi no.
6 Then the young men arose, and bound him up, and carrying him out, they buried him.
Wɔn mu mmeranteɛ no baeɛ bɛkyekyeree amu no firii adi kɔsiee no.
7 After the interval of about three hours, his wife, also, not knowing what was done, came in.
Ɛbɛyɛ nnɔnhwere mmiɛnsa akyi no, ne yere a na ɔnnim asɛm a asi no baa hɔ.
8 And Peter said to her, Tell me whether you sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
Petro bisaa no sɛ, “Wo ne wo kunu, motɔn mo asase no, sika a monyaeɛ nyinaa ara nie? Ka kyerɛ me.” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Aane ne nyinaa ne no.”
9 Then Peter said to her, How is it that you have conspired together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of those who have been burying your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wo ne wo kunu penee so sɛ mobɛsɔ Onyankopɔn Honhom ahwɛ? Hwɛ! Nnipa a wɔkɔsiee wo kunu no gyina ɛpono yi akyi, na saa ara na wo nso, wɔbɛsoa wo akɔsie wo.”
10 And immediately she fell down at his feet, and expired: and the young men coming in, found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
Amonom hɔ ara, ɔtwa hwee Petro anim wuiɛ. Mmeranteɛ no bɛhunuu sɛ wawu no, wɔsoaa no, kɔsiee no wɔ ne kunu nkyɛn.
11 And great fear came on all the assembly, and on all that heard these things.
Ehu kɛseɛ bɔɔ asafo no nyinaa ne nnipa a wɔtee saa asɛm yi no.
12 And many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the Apostles, (and they were all unanimously in Solomon's portico;
Na asomafoɔ no taa hyia wɔ asɔredan no fa baabi a wɔfrɛ no “Salomo Abrannaa” so hɔ. Sɛ wɔhyia wɔ hɔ saa a, wɔyɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ pii.
13 and not one of the rest presumed to join himself to them, but the people magnified them:
Ɛwom sɛ na nnipa a wɔnka wɔn ho no di wɔn ho adanseɛ pa de, nanso wɔn mu biara antumi amfa wɔn ho ankɔbɔ asomafoɔ no ho.
14 and believers were more and more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women: )
Akyire no, nnipa dodoɔ a wɔgyee Awurade diiɛ no bɛkaa agyidifoɔ no ho.
15 insomuch that along the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds, and couches, that even the shadow of Peter, coming by, might overshadow some of them.
Esiane anwanwadeɛ a na asomafoɔ no reyɛ no enti, wɔsoaa ayarefoɔ baa mmɔntene so de wɔn totoo mpa ne kɛtɛ so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Petro sunsum bɛtɔ wɔn mu bi so kɛkɛ.
16 And multitudes also, out of the cities round about, came together to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those that were troubled with unclean spirits, who were all healed.
Nkurɔfoɔ a wɔfifiri nkuro a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia no de wɔn ayarefoɔ ne wɔn a ahonhommɔne wɔ wɔn mu no baeɛ na wɔsaa wɔn nyinaa yadeɛ.
17 But the high priest arising, and all they that were him, being the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with zeal,
Ɔsɔfopanin ne nʼahokafoɔ ne Sadukifoɔ no ani beree asomafoɔ no so yie enti wɔyɛɛ adwene sɛ wɔbɛtwe wɔn aso.
18 and laid their hands on the Apostles, and put them into the common prison.
Ɛno enti, wɔkyeree asomafoɔ no de wɔn kɔguu afiase.
19 But a messenger of the Lord, by night, opened the doors of the prison, and bringing them out, said,
Ɛda no ara anadwo, Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ bɛbuee afiase apono no dii asomafoɔ no anim ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
20 Go, and presenting yourselves in the temple, speak to the people all the words of this life.
“Monkɔ asɔredan mu nkɔka nkwa foforɔ yi ho asɛm nkyerɛ nnipa no.”
21 And hearing this, they went very early into the temple, and taught. But the high priest being come, and they that were with him, they called together the Sanhedrim, even the whole Senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Asomafoɔ no dii asɛm a ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no so; enti, anɔpahema no wɔkɔɔ asɔredan mu hɔ hyɛɛ aseɛ kyerɛkyerɛeɛ. Ɔsɔfopanin no ne nʼahokafoɔ no frɛɛ Yudafoɔ mpanin maa wɔyɛɛ nhyiamu kɛseɛ bi; afei, wɔsoma maa wɔkɔɔ afiase hɔ sɛ wɔnkɔfa asomafoɔ no mmra wɔn anim.
22 But when the officers came, they found them not in the prison. Returning, therefore, they made their report,
Nanso, ɛberɛ a nnipa no duruu afiase hɔ no, wɔanhunu asomafoɔ no; enti wɔsane ba bɛbɔɔ wɔn amaneɛ sɛ,
23 saying, We found, indeed, the prison shut with all safety, and the keepers standing before the doors; but, having opened them, we found no one within.
“Ɛberɛ a yɛduruu afiase hɔ no, yɛhunuu sɛ wɔatoto afiase apono no nyinaa mu petee a awɛmfoɔ no gyinagyina ano. Nanso, yɛbuebuee apono no no, yɛanhunu obiara wɔ mu.”
24 Now, when the high priest, and the captain of the temple guard, and the chief priests heard these words, they doubted concerning them, what this could be.
Ɛberɛ a ɔpanin a ɔhwɛ asɔredan mu awɛmfoɔ no so ne asɔfoɔ mpanin no tee saa asɛm yi no, wɔn adwene mu yɛɛ wɔn nnaa, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔnhunu asɛm a asi.
25 But one came, and told them, Behold, the men whom you put in prison, are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
Ankyɛre koraa na ɔbarima bi baa hɔ bɛka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Nnipa a mode wɔn guu afiase no gyinagyina asɔredan no mu rekyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no.”
26 Then the captain went, with the officers, and brought them, (not by violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned: )
Awɛmfoɔ no so panin no tee asɛm yi no, ɔne ne nkurɔfoɔ no kɔkyeree asomafoɔ no de wɔn baeɛ. Awɛmfoɔ no so panin no ne awɛmfoɔ no amfa asomafoɔ no amma ɔhyɛ so, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔnim sɛ, sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, nnipa no bɛsi wɔn aboɔ.
27 and when they had brought them, they set them before the Sanhedrim. And the high priest asked them,
Wɔde asomafoɔ no bɛgyinaa agyinatufoɔ no anim maa Ɔsɔfopanin no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
28 saying, Did we not strictly charge you, that you should not teach in this name? and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and would bring this man's blood upon us.
“Yɛhyɛɛ mo sɛ monnkyerɛkyerɛ wɔ Yesu din mu, nanso moantie. Mode mo nkyerɛkyerɛ yi afa Yerusalem baabiara, na mopɛ sɛ mokyerɛ sɛ, yɛn na yɛkumm saa ɔbarima no!”
29 But Peter and the other Apostles answered, and said, It is necessary to obey God rather than men.
Petro ne asomafoɔ a wɔka ne ho no buaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛtie Onyankopɔn na ɛnyɛ nnipa,
30 The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you slew, hanging him on a tree:
ɛfiri sɛ, mobɔɔ Yesu asɛnnua mu, kumm no no, yɛn agyanom Onyankopɔn nyanee no firii owuo mu.
31 HIM has God exalted at his right hand, a Prince and Saviour, to give reformation to Israel, and remission of sins.
Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ no animuonyam de no tenaa ne nsa nifa so sɛ Ɔhene ne Agyenkwa a ɛnam so bɛma Israelfoɔ asakyera wɔn adwene na wɔde wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn.
32 And we are witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God has given to them who submit to his government.
Yɛne Honhom Kronkron a ɛyɛ akyɛdeɛ a Awurade de ma wɔn a wɔtie no no di yei ho adanseɛ.”
33 And when they heard this, they were enraged, and consulted to put them to death.
Agyinatufoɔ no tee saa asɛm yi no, wɔn bo fuiɛ na wɔkaa sɛ wɔbɛkum asomafoɔ no.
34 But a certain Pharisee in the Sanhedrim, whose name was Gamaliel, a doctor of law, in great esteem among all the people, rose up, and commanded the Apostles to be taken out for a little while;
Nanso, wɔn mu baako a wɔfrɛ no Gamaliel a ɔyɛ Farisini na ɔsane yɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ a na nnipa bu no no, sɔre gyina hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmfa asomafoɔ no mfiri adi.
35 and he said to them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you are about to do to these men.
Afei, ɔkasa kyerɛɛ agyinatufoɔ no sɛ, “Me nuanom Israel mmarima, monnwene deɛ mopɛ sɛ moyɛ saa nnipa yi no ho yie.
36 Some time ago Theudas arose, pretending himself to be a person of note: to whom a number of men, about four hundred, adhered, who was slain; and all who hearkened to him were scattered, and came to nothing.
Ɛnkyɛree biara na ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Teuda sɔre, kaa sɛ ɔyɛ onipa titire bi maa nnipa bɛyɛ ahanan tu dii nʼakyi. Nanso, wɔkumm no ma nʼakyidifoɔ no nyinaa bɔ hweteeɛ.
37 After him, Judas, the Galilean, arose, in the days of the enrollment, and drew a multitude of people after him, and he was destroyed; and all who hearkened to him were dispersed.
Nʼakyi no, Yuda a ɔfiri Galilea nso sɔree nnipakanberɛ no mu. Ɔno nso nnipa pii dii nʼakyi. Saa ara na ɔno nso wɔkumm no ma nʼakyidifoɔ no bɔ hweteeɛ.
38 And now, in the present case, I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this design and work be of men, it will be defeated;
Ɛno enti metu mo fo sɛ, monnyaa saa nnipa yi ma wɔnkɔ wɔn baabi. Sɛ wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ ne wɔn nnwuma yi firi onipa a, ɛbɛgu.
39 but if it be of God, you can not defeat them: lest, perhaps, you be found fighters against God.
Nanso, sɛ ɛfiri Onyankopɔn a morentumi nsi wɔn kwan. Mobɛhunu sɛ moreko atia Onyankopɔn.”
40 And they yielded to him; and having called in the Apostles, and scourged them, they charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
Agyinatufoɔ no tiee Gamaliel afotuo no. Wɔmaa wɔde asomafoɔ no baeɛ maa wɔbɔɔ wɔn mmaa hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmmɔ Yesu din mfa nkyerɛkyerɛ bio. Afei wɔgyaa wɔn.
41 And they departed from the presence of the Sanhedrim. rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be exposed to infamy for the sake of his name.
Esiane sɛ asomafoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhunu amane wɔ Yesu din mu no enti, wɔde anigyeɛ na wɔfirii asɛnniiɛ hɔ.
42 And, daily, in the temple, and from house to house, they ceased not to teach and declare the good news, that Jesus is the Messiah.
Wɔannyae Yesu Kristo ho asɛm pa no ka ne nkyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔrefie ne afie mu da.
