Acts 10
1 Now a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
Ɔbarima bi tenaa Kaesarea a ne din de Kornelio. Na ɔyɛ Roma asraafoɔ bi a wɔn din de Italia Asraafodɔm no so panin.
2 a devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and praying to God always,
Na ɔne ne efiefoɔ nyinaa yɛ Nyamesurofoɔ. Ɔyɛ obi nso a na ɔboa ahiafoɔ na daa ɔbɔ mpaeɛ.
3 saw in a vision plainly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying to him, Cornelius!
Ɛda bi awia bɛyɛ nnɔnmiɛnsa no, ɔhunuu Onyankopɔn ɔbɔfoɔ wɔ anisoadehunu mu sɛ waba ne nkyɛn abɛfrɛ no sɛ, “Kornelio!”
4 And he, looking steadily at him, and becoming affrighted, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms have come up for a memorial before God.
Kornelio de hu hwɛɛ no dinn. Ɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ ɛdeɛn Awurade?” Ɔbɔfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Wo mpaeɛ ne wʼadɔeɛ a woyɛ ahiafoɔ no aduru Onyankopɔn anim sɛ nkaeɛ adeɛ.
5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
Soma nnipa na wɔnkɔ Yopa nkɔfa ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Simon Petro no mmra.
6 he lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the seaside.
Ɔte ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Simon a ɔhyɛ mmoa nwoma aduro a ne fie bɛn mpoano no nkyɛn.”
7 And when the angel that spoke to him had departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of those who waited on him,
Ɔbɔfoɔ no kasa kyerɛɛ no wieeɛ a ɔkɔeɛ no, Kornelio frɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ baanu, sane frɛɛ nʼasraafoɔ no mu baako a ɔyɛ Nyamesuroni kaa wɔn ho,
8 and having told them every thing sent them to Joppa.
kaa biribiara a wahunu no kyerɛɛ wɔn, somaa wɔn Yopa.
9 On the morrow, as they were on their journey, and were drawing near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ a wɔrekɔ no, ɛbɛyɛ owigyinaeɛ a wɔrebɛn kuro no no, Petro kɔɔ ɛdan a ɔte mu no atifi kɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ.
10 And he became very hungry and wished to eat; but while they were making ready, a trance came upon him,
Saa ɛberɛ no, ɛkɔm dee no; na wɔgu so reyɛ aduane ama no no, ɔkɔɔ tebea bi a ɛte sɛ adaeɛso mu.
11 and he beheld heaven opened, and a sort of vessel descending, as it were a large sheet having cords at the four corners, and let down upon the earth;
Ɔhunuu sɛ ɔsoro abue, na biribi a ɛte sɛ ntoma kɛseɛ a wɔakyekyere nʼafannan firi ɔsoro resiane ba fam.
12 wherein were all the four-footed beasts and creeping things of the earth, and birds of the air.
Na ntɔteboa ahodoɔ ne mmoa a wɔwea ne wiram nnomaa ahyɛ saa ntoma no ma.
13 And there came a voice to him, Arise, Peter; slay, and eat.
Afei, nne bi ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Petro, sɔre na kum bi we!”
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common and unclean.
Petro buaa sɛ, “Dabi, Awurade, mennii biribiara a ɛho nteɛ da.”
15 And a voice came to him again, the second time, That which God hath cleansed, call not thou common.
Nne no ka kyerɛɛ no bio sɛ, “Biribiara a Onyankopɔn ate ho no, nka sɛ ɛho nte.”
16 This was done three times; and the vessel was immediately taken up into heaven.
Saa anisoadehunu yi baa mprɛnsa. Afei, ntoma no sane kɔɔ soro.
17 Now, while Peter was doubting within himself what the vision which he had seen meant, lo! the men who were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate;
Saa ɛberɛ a na Petro redwennwene anisoadehunu no ho no, nnipa a Kornelio somaa wɔn no kɔduruu Petro aboboano.
18 and they called, and asked whether Simon, surnamed Peter, lodged there.
Wɔfrɛ bisaeɛ sɛ, “Saa efie yi mu na Simon Petro te no anaa?”
19 And while Peter was meditating on the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, men are seeking thee;
Petro gu so redwennwene anisoadehunu no ho no, Honhom Kronkron ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Simon, mmarima baasa bi rehwehwɛ wo.
20 but arise, and go down, and go with them, without scruple; for I have sent them.
Siane si fam. Ntwentwɛn wo nan ase na wo ne wɔn nkɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, me na masoma wɔn.”
21 And Peter went down to the men and said, Behold, I am he whom ye are seeking; for what cause have ye come?
Petro siane kɔɔ fam kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mene onipa a morehwehwɛ no no, na mo amaneɛ?”
22 And they said, Cornelius a centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and to hear words from thee.
Nnipa no buaa no sɛ, “Yɛfiri asraafoɔ panin Kornelio nkyɛn. Ɔyɛ ɔteneneeni ne Onyamesuroni a Yudafoɔ nyinaa bu no. Onyankopɔn ɔbɔfoɔ ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnsoma mfrɛ wo mmra ne fie na ɔntie asɛm bi mfiri wo nkyɛn.”
23 Then he called them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow he arose and went forth with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
Petro gyee nnipa no, somm wɔn hɔhoɔ. Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, Petro ne nnipa no ne agyidifoɔ bi a wɔfiri Yopa bɔɔ anan kɔeɛ.
24 And the morrow after, he came into Caesarea. And Cornelius was expecting them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ a ɔduruu Kaesarea no, na Kornelio afrɛfrɛ nʼabusuafoɔ ne ne nnamfonom ahyia retwɛn no.
25 And as Peter came in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and did him reverence.
Petro reyɛ awura efie hɔ no, Kornelio hyiaa no, buu no nkotodwe.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
Nanso, Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɔre, ɛfiri sɛ, me nso meyɛ onipa sɛ wo ara.”
27 And while talking with him, he went in, and found many who had come together.
Petro ne Kornelio gu so rekasa no, wɔwuraa efie no mu kɔtoo nnipa bebree.
28 And he said to them, Ye know that it is an unlawful thing for a Jew to keep company with one of another nation, or to come near him; but God showed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo ara monim pefee sɛ Yudafoɔ mmara mma Yudani ɛkwan sɛ ɔkɔsra Amanamamuni anaasɛ ɔde ne ho bɔ no. Nanso, Onyankopɔn akyerɛ me sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ meka sɛ onipa bi ho nte.
29 Wherefore I came without objection, when sent for. I ask therefore, for what reason did ye send for me?
Yei enti na mosoma bɛfrɛɛ me no mantwentwɛn me nan ase no. Afei, kyerɛ me deɛ enti a wosoma bɛfrɛɛ me no.”
30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago, I was fasting till this hour; and at the ninth hour was praying in my house; and lo! a man stood before me in bright clothing,
Kornelio kaa sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ ne nna ɛnan awia nnɔnmiɛnsa a merebɔ mpaeɛ wɔ me fie no, mehunuu sɛ ɔbarima bi a ɔhyɛ atadeɛ a ɛhyerɛn gyina mʼanim.
31 and said, Cornelius, thy prayer hath been heard, and thine alms have been remembered before God.
Ɔkaa sɛ, ‘Kornelio, wo mpaeɛbɔ ne wʼadɔeɛ a woyɛ ahiafoɔ no aduru Onyankopɔn anim sɛ nkaeɛ adeɛ.
32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea-side; and he, when he cometh, will speak to thee.
Soma nnipa na wɔnkɔ Yopa nkɔfa ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Simon Petro no mmra. Ɔte ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Simon a ɔhyɛ mmoa nwoma aduro a ne fie bɛn mpoano no nkyɛn’.
33 I therefore sent to thee immediately; and thou hast done well in coming here. Now therefore we are all present before God, to hear all things that have been commanded thee from the Lord.
Mesoma maa wɔbɛfrɛɛ wo, na wo nso woayɛ adeɛ sɛ woaba. Seesei, yɛn nyinaa ahyia wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu rebɛtie asɛm biara a Awurade ahyɛ wo sɛ ka kyerɛ yɛn no.”
34 And Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is not a respecter of persons,
Petro firii aseɛ kasaa sɛ, “Afei, mahunu sɛ, ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛ, Onyankopɔn nyɛ nyiyimu,
35 but in every nation he that feareth him and worketh righteousness is acceptable to him—
na mmom, ɔman biara mu, deɛ ɔyɛ ade tenenee no, ɔgye no.
36 the word which he sent to the sons of Israel, publishing glad tidings of peace through Jesus Christ; he is Lord of all men.
Monim asɛmpa a ɛfa asomdwoeɛ ho a ɛnam yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo a ɔyɛ nnipa nyinaa Awurade no so de brɛɛ Israelfoɔ no.
37 Ye yourselves know what was spoken of through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached,
Monim nsɛm a ɛsisii wɔ Yudea, a ɛfirii aseɛ wɔ Galilea, Yohane asubɔ ho asɛnka no akyi.
38 relating to Jesus of Nazareth, that God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were overpowered by the Devil; for God was with him.
Monim sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn de Honhom Kronkron ne tumi maa Yesu Nasareni no. Esiane sɛ Onyankopɔn ka ne ho no enti, ɔkɔɔ mmeammea, yɛɛ papa, saa wɔn a ɔbonsam afa wɔn no yadeɛ.
39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew by hanging him on a cross.
“Yɛyɛ dwuma a ɔdii wɔ Yudaman mu ne Yerusalem no ho adansefoɔ. Wɔbɔɔ no asɛnnua mu, kumm no.
40 Him God raised up on the third day, and caused him to be manifested,
Nanso, ne nnansa so no, Onyankopɔn maa ɔsɔre firii awufoɔ mu maa ɔkɔyii ne ho adi.
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses before appointed by God, to ourselves, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead;
Wanyi ne ho adi ankyerɛ nnipa nyinaa sɛ yɛn a yɛyɛ adansefoɔ a Onyankopɔn ayi yɛn dada no. Ɔsɔre firii awufoɔ mu no, yɛne no didi nomee.
42 and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who hath been appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead.
Na ɔhyɛɛ yɛn sɛ, yɛnka asɛmpa no nkyerɛ nnipa nyinaa, na yɛnni ne ho adanseɛ sɛ, ɔno ne deɛ Onyankopɔn ayi no asi hɔ sɛ ɔmmu ateasefoɔ ne awufoɔ atɛn no.
43 To him all the prophets bear witness, that through his name every one that believeth in him shall receive forgiveness of sins.
Adiyifoɔ nyinaa kaa ne ho asɛm sɛ, wɔnam ne din so de obiara a ɔgye no di no bɔne bɛkyɛ no.”
44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all that heard the word.
Petro gu so rekasa no, Honhom Kronkron baa wɔn a wɔretie asɛm no nyinaa so.
45 And those of the circumcision who believed, as many as came with Peter, were astonished that on the gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit;
Yudafoɔ agyidifoɔ a wɔne Petro firi Yopa baeɛ no ho dwirii wɔn sɛ Onyankopɔn ahwie nʼakyɛdeɛ a ɛyɛ Honhom Kronkron no agu amanamanmufoɔ no nso so.
46 for they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God. Then answered Peter,
Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔtee sɛ wɔreka kasa foforɔ reyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ wɔ ne kɛseyɛ ho. Petro kaa sɛ,
47 Can any one forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Spirit even as we have?
“Saa nnipa yi anya Honhom Kronkron sɛdeɛ yɛn nso yɛnyaa bi no. Obi bɛtumi asi wɔn asubɔ ho ɛkwan anaa?”
48 And he commanded that they should be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they entreated him to remain some days.
Petro hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmmɔ wɔn asu Yesu Kristo din mu. Afei, wɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔnni nna kakra wɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
