Acts 11
1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the non-Jewish people had also received the word of God.
Asomafoɔ ne agyidifoɔ a wɔwɔ Yudea nyinaa tee sɛ amanamanmufoɔ no nso agye Onyankopɔn asɛm no adi.
2 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
Petro kɔɔ Yerusalem no, Yudafoɔ agyidifoɔ no ne no nyaa akasakasa kaa sɛ,
3 saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them."
“Woakɔ wɔn a wɔnnyɛ twetiatwafoɔ no nkyɛn ne wɔn akɔdidi.”
4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
Petro bɔɔ wɔn biribiara a ɛsii no ho amaneɛ sɛ,
5 "I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
“Na merebɔ mpaeɛ wɔ Yopa na menyaa anisoadehunu. Mehunuu biribi a ɛte sɛ ntoma kɛseɛ a wɔakyekyere nʼafannan sɛ ɛfiri ɔsoro resiane ba fam reba abɛsi me ho.
6 When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, crawling creatures, and birds of the sky.
Mehwɛɛ mu no, mehunuu ntɔteboa ahodoɔ, mmoa a wɔwea ne wiram nnomaa.
7 I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'
Afei, nne bi ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Petro! Sɔre! Kum na we!’
8 But I said, 'Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.'
“Mebuaa sɛ, ‘Dabi, Awurade! Mennii biribiara a ɛho nteɛ da.’
9 But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, do not call unclean.'
“Ɛnne no ka kyerɛɛ me bio sɛ, ‘Biribiara a Onyankopɔn ate ho no, nka sɛ ɛho nte.’
10 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
Saa anisoadehunu yi baa mprɛnsa, na ɛsane kɔɔ ɔsoro.
11 And look, immediately three men stood before the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
“Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu, nnipa baasa a wɔasoma wɔn firi Kaesarea no bɛduruu efie a na mete mu no mu.
12 The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house.
Honhom Kronkron ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, menntwentwɛn me nan ase na me ne wɔn nkɔ. Saa agyidifoɔ baasa yi a wɔfiri Yopa no kaa me ho kɔɔ Kaesarea maa yɛn nyinaa kɔɔ Kornelio efie.
13 He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, 'Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,
Ɔkaa sɛdeɛ ɔhunuu ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ wɔ ne fie maa ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Soma kɔ Yopa kɔfrɛ ɔbarima bi a ne din de Simon Petro no.
14 who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.'
Ɔno na ɔbɛka nsɛm a ɛbɛgye wo ne wo fiefoɔ nyinaa nkwa akyerɛ mo.’
15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
“Ɛberɛ a mehyɛɛ aseɛ kasaeɛ no, Honhom Kronkron baa wɔn so sɛdeɛ yɛn nso ahyɛaseɛ no, ɛbaa yɛn so no ara pɛ.
16 I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'
Ɛhɔ ara mekaee asɛm a Awurade kaa sɛ, ‘Yohane de nsuo na ɛbɔɔ asu na mo de, wɔde Honhom Kronkron na ɛbɛbɔ mo asu’ no.
17 If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?"
Sɛ Onyankopɔn ama wɔn akyɛdeɛ a ɛberɛ a yɛgyee Awurade Yesu Kristo diiɛ no ɔmaa yɛn bi no a, ɛnneɛ me sɛɛ ne hwan a mɛsi Onyankopɔn kwan.”
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the non-Jews repentance to life."
Wɔtee saa asɛm yi no, wɔgyaee wɔn nsɛmmisa no yii Awurade ayɛ sɛ, “Afei, deɛ Onyankopɔn ama ho kwan ama amanamanmufoɔ anya adwensakyera a ɛde wɔn bɛkɔ nkwagyeɛ mu.”
19 They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
Wɔkumm Stefano no, wɔtaa agyidifoɔ no maa wɔbɔ hweteeɛ, Wɔn mu bi kyinkyini kɔduruu Foinike, ne Kipro, ne Antiokia a na wɔreka asɛmpa no kyerɛ Yudafoɔ nko ara.
20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, proclaiming the good news of the Lord Jesus.
Agyidifoɔ bi a wɔfiri Kipro ne Kirene kɔɔ Antiokia kɔkaa asɛmpa a ɛfa Awurade Yesu Kristo ho no kyerɛɛ amanamanmufoɔ no.
21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
Esiane sɛ na Awurade ka wɔn ho no enti, nnipa pii gyee asɛm no diiɛ maa wɔdane baa Awurade nkyɛn.
22 And the report concerning them was heard by the church in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch,
Saa asɛm yi trɛ kɔduruu Yerusalem asafo no mu enti, wɔsomaa Barnaba kɔɔ Antiokia.
23 who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain true to the Lord.
Ɔduruu hɔ a ɔhunuu sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ahyira wɔn no, nʼani gyeeɛ maa ɔhyɛɛ wɔn nkuran sɛ, wɔmfiri wɔn akoma nyinaa mu nnye Awurade nni na wɔnni no nokorɛ nso.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
Esiane sɛ na Barnaba yɛ onipa pa a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma na ɔwɔ gyidie enti, ɛmaa nnipa bebree nam ne so de wɔn ho maa Awurade.
25 Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
Barnaba kɔɔ Tarso kɔhwehwɛɛ Saulo.
26 When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
Ɔhunuu no no, ɔde no baa Antiokia. Wɔn baanu tenaa hɔ afe, kyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa bebree. Antiokia ha na wɔtoo asuafoɔ no din sɛ “Akristofoɔ.”
27 Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Saa ɛberɛ korɔ yi ara mu, adiyifoɔ bi firi Yerusalem kɔɔ Antiokia.
28 One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
Wɔn mu baako a wɔfrɛ no Agabo a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no sɔre gyina hyɛɛ nkɔm sɛ, ɛkɔm kɛseɛ bɛba asase nyinaa so. Saa ɛkɔm yi sii ɛberɛ a na Klaudio di adeɛ no.
29 As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
Asuafoɔ no yɛɛ adwene sɛ biribiara a obi wɔ no wɔde bɛba na wɔde akɔboa anuanom a wɔwɔ Yudea no.
30 which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Akyɛdeɛ a wɔn nsa kaeɛ no, wɔde somaa Barnaba ne Saulo maa wɔde kɔmaa asafo no mu mpanimfoɔ.
