Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sappirah, his wife, sold a possession,
Ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Anania ne ne yere Safira kɔtɔn wɔn agyapade bi.
2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and put it at the apostles' feet.
Ɔne ne yere yi yɛɛ adwene de sika a wonyae no bi siei, na wɔde nkae no brɛɛ asomafo no.
3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
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 you kept it, did not it remain your own? After it was sold, was not it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to people, 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 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard it.
Anania tee saa asɛm yi ara pɛ, otwa hwee fam wui; na ehu kaa obiara a ɔtee saa asɛm no.
6 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
Wɔn mu mmerante no ba bɛkyekyeree amu no fii adi kosiee no.
7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Ɛbɛyɛ nnɔnhwerew abiɛsa akyi no, ne yere a na onnim asɛm a asi no baa hɔ.
8 Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." 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 But Peter asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
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 She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and 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 Great fear came on the whole church, and on all who heard these things.
Ehu kɛse bɔɔ asafo no nyinaa ne nnipa a wɔtee saa asɛm no.
12 By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
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 None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored 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 More believers were added to the Lord, crowds of both men and women.
Akyiri no, nnipa dodow a wogyee Awurade dii no bɛkaa agyidifo no ho.
15 They even carried out the sick into the streets, and put them on cots and mats, so that as Peter came by at the least his shadow would fall on some 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 Crowds also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they 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 But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
Ɔsɔfopanyin ne ne dɔm ne Sadukifo no ani beree asomafo no so yiye enti wɔyɛɛ adwene sɛ wɔbɛtwe wɔn aso.
18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody.
Ɛno nti, wɔkyeree asomafo no de wɔn koguu afiase.
19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,
Da no ara anadwo, Awurade bɔfo behiɛɛ afiase apon no dii asomafo no anim ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
20 "Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life."
“Monkɔ asɔredan mu nkɔka nkwa foforo yi ho asɛm nkyerɛ nnipa no.”
21 When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the elders of the children of Israel, and 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 But the officers who came did not find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
Nanso, bere a nnipa no duu afiase hɔ no, wɔanhu asomafo no; enti wɔsan ba bɛbɔɔ wɔn amanneɛ se,
23 "We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."
“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 Now when the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
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 One came and told them, "Look, the men whom you put in 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 captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
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 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high 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 look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood on 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 yekum saa ɔbarima no!”
29 But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than people.
Petro ne asomafo a wɔka ne ho no buaa wɔn se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ yetie Onyankopɔn na ɛnyɛ nnipa,
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
efisɛ mobɔɔ Yesu asennua mu, kum no no, yɛn agyanom Nyankopɔn nyan no fii owu mu.
31 God exalted him with his right hand to be a Leader and a Savior, to give repentance 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 We are witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."
Yɛne Honhom Kronkron a ɛyɛ akyɛde a Awurade de ma wɔn a wotie no no di eyi ho adanse.”
33 But they, when they heard this, were furious, and wanted to kill them.
Agyinatufo no tee asɛm no, wɔn bo fuwii, na wɔkae se wobekum asomafo no.
34 But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the men out for a little while.
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 He said to them, "You men of Israel, be careful concerning 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 Todah rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, 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 man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
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 Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of human origin, 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 But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them, and you would be found even to be fighting against God."
Nanso sɛ efi Onyankopɔn a, morentumi nsiw wɔn kwan. Mubehu sɛ moreko atia Onyankopɔn.”
40 They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and 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 therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
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 Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming that Jesus is the Christ.
Wɔannyae Yesu Kristo ho asɛmpa no ka ne nkyerɛkyerɛ wɔ hyiadan ne afi mu da.
