Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."
Bere a Paulo ne Barnaba wɔ Antiokia no, nnipa bi fi Yudea bɛkyerɛkyerɛɛ anuanom no se, “Sɛ moamma wɔantwa mo twetia sɛnea Mose amanne no kyerɛ no a morennya nkwa.”
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Paulo ne Barnaba ne wɔn gyee saa nkyerɛkyerɛ yi ho akyinnye denneennen. Saa asɛm yi nti Paulo ne Barnaba ne Antiokia asafo no mu nnipa bi kɔɔ Yerusalem kohuu asomafo no ne mpanyimfo faa saa nkyerɛkyerɛ yi ho.
3 They, being sent on their way by the church, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the non-Jewish people. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
Asafo no gyaa wɔn kwan. Wɔrekɔ no, wɔfaa Foinike ne Samaria kaa amanamanmufo gye a wɔagye asɛm no adi no kyerɛɛ wɔn. Saa asɛm yi yɛɛ agyidifo no nyinaa anigye yiye.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all things that God had done with them.
Woduu Yerusalem no, asafo no asomafo ne mpanyimfo a wɔkaa nneɛma a Onyankopɔn nam wɔn so ayɛ kyerɛɛ wɔn no gyee wɔn.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Law of Moses."
Nanso Farisifo a wɔabɛyɛ agyidifo no hyɛe sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa amanamanmufo a wɔagye asɛm no adi no nyinaa twetia na wodi Mose mmara no so.
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Asomafo no ne mpanyimfo no hyia dwenee asɛm yi ho.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
Wodwinnwen ho wiee no, Petro sɔre kasae se, “Me nuanom, munim sɛ bere bi a atwam no, Onyankopɔn yii me fii mo mu sɛ menka asɛmpa no nkyerɛ amanamanmufo, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na wɔbɛte asɛmpa no na wɔagye adi.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them by giving the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Sɛnea Onyankopɔn a onim koma mu no nam Honhom Kronkron a ɔma ɛbaa yɛn mu no so gyee yɛn too mu no, saa ara na ɔnam Honhom Kronkron no ara so agye amanamanmufo nso ato mu.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Onyankopɔn anyɛ nyiyimu; ɔnam gyidi so tew wɔn koma mu.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Adɛn nti na mopɛ sɛ mode adesoa duruduru a yɛn agyanom antumi ansoa, na yɛn nso yɛantumi ansoa no soa agyidifo no de sɔ Onyankopɔn hwɛ?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are."
Nanso yegye di sɛ wɔnam Awurade Yesu Kristo adom so na agye yɛn nkwa sɛ wɔn ara.”
12 And all the people kept quiet, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Bere a Barnaba ne Paulo kaa anwonwade a Onyankopɔn nam wɔn so yɛɛ wɔ amanamanmufo no mu maa nnipa a wɔahyia hɔ no tee no, wɔyɛɛ dinn.
13 After they were silent, James answered, "Brothers, listen to me.
Wɔkasa wiei no, Yakobo kae se, “Anuanom, muntie me!
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations, to take out of them a people for his name.
Mprempren ara na Simon kyerɛɛ mu kyerɛɛ yɛn se Onyankopɔn yii amanamanmufo sɛ ne de.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Adiyifo no nsɛm a wɔkaa no ne eyi hyia, sɛnea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm no mu se:
16 'After these things I will return; and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it,
“‘Eyi akyi no, mɛsan aba abesi Dawid fi a abubu no. Mɛma nea adwiriw no so, na masan asi bio,
17 that the rest of humanity may seek after the Lord, and all the nations who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things
sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nnipa a wɔaka no, ne amanamanmufo a me din da wɔn so no bɛhwehwɛ Awurade.’
Awurade a ɔdaa eyi adi bere bi a atwa mu no, ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ eyinom nyinaa.” (aiōn g165)
19 "Therefore my judgment is that we do not trouble those from among the non-Jewish people who turn to God,
Yakobo toaa so se, “Mʼadwene ne sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛhaw amanamanmufo a wɔde wɔn ho rema Onyankopɔn no.
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from things defiled by idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
Mmom, momma yɛnkyerɛw nhoma nkɔka nkyerɛ wɔn se, ɛnsɛ sɛ wodi aduan biara a wɔde ama abosom, efisɛ ɛho ntew; afei wɔntwe wɔn ho mfi aguamammɔ ho na wɔnnwe aboa a wɔantwa ne mene na owui. Bio, wonnni mogya nso.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who proclaim him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath."
Efi tete na wɔkenkan saa Mose mmara yi wɔ hyiadan mu wɔ Homeda biara, na wɔka ho nsɛm nso wɔ kurow biara mu.”
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
Asomafo ne mpanyimfo ne asafo no mu nnipa nyinaa hyiae, yɛɛ adwene sɛ wobeyi nnipa bi afi kuw no mu aka Paulo ne Barnaba ho na wɔakɔ Antiokia. Woyii mmarima atitiriw baanu a wɔn din de Yuda, a wɔfrɛ no Barsaba ne Silas.
23 They wrote these things by their hand: "The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers who are in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
Nhoma a wɔde maa wɔn kɔe no mu nsɛm ni: Anuanom amanamanmufo a mote Antiokia, Siria ne Kilikia, Asomafo ne mpanyimfo ne anuanom a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no kyia mo.
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, to whom we gave no commandment;
Yɛtee sɛ anuanom bi a yɛmaa wɔn tumi fi yɛn mu nam wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ so tan mo ani, haw mo adwene.
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Eyi nti yɛatu nnipa bi sɛ wɔmmra mo nkyɛn. Saa nnipa no ne Paulo ne Barnaba
26 who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
a wɔde wɔn nkwa abɔ afɔre ama Awurade Yesu Kristo no.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Eyi nti, yɛresoma Yuda ne Silas ama wɔabɛkasa afoa asɛm a yɛrekyerɛw no so.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Honhom Kronkron ne yɛn ayɛ adwene sɛ, saa ahyɛde yi akyi no yɛmmfa adesoa foforo bi a emu yɛ duru nsoa mo;
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell."
munnni aduan a wɔde ama abosom; saa ara nso na munnni mogya. Monnwe aboa a wɔantwa ne mene na owui. Bio, montwe mo ho mfi aguamammɔ ho. Sɛ mutumi di saa ahyɛde yi so a, ebesi mo yiye. Yɛsan kyia mo.
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.
Wogyaa nnipa no kwan ma wɔkɔɔ Antiokia. Woduu hɔ no, wohyiaa agyidifo no de nhoma no maa wɔn.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Agyidifo no kenkan nhoma no, emu nkuranhyɛsɛm no maa wɔn ani gyei.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words, and strengthened them.
Yuda ne Silas a wɔyɛ adiyifo no ne anuanom no kasa kyɛe, hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were sent back with greetings from the brothers to those that had sent them forth.
Wodii nna kakra wɔ hɔ no, anuanom no gyaa wɔn kwan asomdwoe mu ma wɔsan kɔɔ anuanom a wɔsomaa wɔn no nkyɛn dwoodwoo.
34 However, Silas decided to remain there.
Nanso Silas de, wankɔ bi.
35 And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Paulo ne Barnaba dii nna kakra wɔ Antiokia, boaa anuanom bi ma wɔkyerɛkyerɛe, kaa Awurade asɛm.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing."
Nna bi akyi no, Paulo ka kyerɛɛ Barnaba se, “Ma yɛnsan nkɔsra anuanom a wɔwɔ nkurow a yɛaka Awurade asɛm wɔ so no nyinaa nkɔhwɛ sɛnea wɔrekɔ so wɔ gyidi mu.”
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Barnaba pɛɛ sɛ wɔde Yohane Marko ka wɔn ho kɔ,
38 But Paul did not think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and did not go with them to do the work.
nanso Paulo ampene so, efisɛ wɔwɔ Pamfilia no ogyaw wɔn hɔ a ɔne wɔn antena hɔ ankosi awiei.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away to Cyprus,
Akasakasa a emu yɛ den sii wɔn ntam maa wɔn mu tetewee. Barnaba faa Marko ne no kɔɔ Kipro
40 but Paul chose Silas, and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
na Paulo nso faa Silas. Anuanom no de wɔn hyɛɛ Onyankopɔn nsa ma wofii hɔ kɔe.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
Ɔkɔfaa Siria ne Kilikia hyɛɛ asafo no den.
