Acts 2
1 And on the day of Pentecost they were all together in one place.
Pentekoste da no duruiɛ no, na asuafoɔ no nyinaa ahyia wɔ faako.
2 And suddenly there came out of heaven a sound, as of a rushing mighty wind; and it filled the whole house where they were sitting;
Amonom hɔ ara, ɛnne bi te sɛ ahum a ɛretu firi ɔsoro baeɛ bɛhyɛɛ efie a na wɔwɔ mu no ma.
3 and there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributing themselves; and one sat upon each of them.
Egya a ɛrederɛ a ɛte sɛ tɛkrɛma bɛsisii wɔn so mmaako mmaako.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, even as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Honhom Kronkron no hyɛɛ wɔn nyinaa ma, na wɔkaa kasa foforɔ, sɛdeɛ Honhom no maa wɔn ho kwan.
5 Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.
Saa ɛberɛ no na Yudafoɔ bi a wɔfɛre Onyame firi mmeaeɛ mmeaeɛ aba Yerusalem.
6 And when this sound took place, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because every one heard them speaking in his own language.
Wɔtee deɛ ɛrekɔ so no, wɔbɔɔ twi bɛhyiaeɛ, na ɛyɛɛ wɔn nwanwa ne ahodwirie, ɛfiri sɛ, obiara tee sɛ wɔreka ne kurom kasa.
7 And they were amazed, and marveled, saying, Behold, are not all these who speak Galilaeans?
Enti, wɔbisaa sɛ, “Na saa nnipa yi a wɔrekasa yi nyɛ Galileafoɔ anaa?
8 and how is it that we every one hear them in our own language, wherein we were born?
Na adɛn enti na yɛte sɛ wɔreka Onyankopɔn anwanwadwuma ho asɛm wɔ yɛn a yɛyɛ
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
Partifoɔ, Mediafoɔ ne Elamfoɔ, ne wɔn a wɔte Mesopotamia ne Yudea ne Kapadokia, Ponto, Asia,
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and Romans who sojourn here, both Jews and Proselytes,
Frigia ne Pamfilia, Misraim ne Libia fa a ɛbɛn Kirene ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔfiri Roma, Yudafoɔ ne wɔn a wɔasakyera aba Yudasom mu,
11 Cretans and Arabians—how is it that we hear them speaking in our tongues the wonderful works of God?
ne Kretafoɔ ne Arabfoɔ mu biara kasa mu yi?”
12 And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, What can this mean?
Wɔde ahodwirie bisaa sɛ, “Yei ase ne sɛn?”
13 Others making sport of it, said, They are full of new wine.
Afoforɔ nso dii wɔn ho fɛ sɛ, “Saa nnipa yi aboboro nsã.”
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said to them, Men of Judea, and all that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and hearken to my words.
Petro ne asomafoɔ dubaako no sɔre gyinaa hɔ na ɔkasaa dendeenden kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Me nuanom Yudafoɔ ne mo a mote Yerusalem nyinaa, montie asɛm a mereka yi.
15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose; for it is the third hour of the day;
Saa nnipa yi mmoboroo nsã sɛdeɛ mosusu no, ɛfiri sɛ, adeɛ nnya nkyee a ɛsɛ sɛ obi nom nsã boro.
16 but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel,
Asɛm a asi yi na odiyifoɔ Yoɛl hyɛɛ ho nkɔm sɛ:
17 “It shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams;
“‘Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, nna a ɛdi akyire no, mɛhwie me Honhom no agu nnipa nyinaa so. Mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa bɛhyɛ nkɔm, mo mmeranteɛ nso ahunu anisoadeɛ. Na mo mpanin nso asoso adaeɛ.
18 and even on my servants, and on my handmaids, I will pour out of my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
Saa mmerɛ no mu no, mɛhwie me Honhom agu mʼasomfoɔ mpo so, mmarima ne mmaa, ama wɔahyɛ nkɔm.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
Mede mogya ne ogya ne wisie kumɔnn bɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so.
20 the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the day of the Lord cometh, the great and notable day.
Ansa na Awurade da kɛseɛ no bɛba no, owia bɛduru sum na ɔsrane nso ayɛ sɛ mogya.
21 And it shall be that every one that calleth on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Na obiara a ɔbɛbɔ Awurade din no bɛnya nkwa.’
22 Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God to you by miracles, and wonders, and signs, which God wrought by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves know, —
“Israelfoɔ, montie! Yesu Nasareni no yɛ ɔbarima bi a ne dwuma kronkron a ɔbɛdiiɛ no daa adi wɔ tumi ne anwanwadeɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a Onyankopɔn nam ne so yɛeɛ a mo ankasa di ho adanseɛ no mu.
23 this man, being delivered up by the settled purpose and foreknowledge of God, ye, by the hand of godless men, crucified and slew.
Onyankopɔn ankasa firi ne pɛ ne ne nhunumu mu sii no gyinaeɛ sɛ wɔbɛyi Yesu ama mo, na mode no maa nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ma wɔbɔɔ no asɛnnua mu kumm no.
24 But God raised him up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn nyanee no firii owuo mu maa ɔyii no firii owuyea mu, ɛfiri sɛ, owuo antumi anni ne so.”
25 For David saith concerning him, “I saw the Lord always before me; because he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
Asɛm a Dawid ka faa ne ho ne sɛ, “Mehunu Awurade wɔ mʼani so daa nyinaa. Esiane sɛ ɔwɔ me nsa nifa enti, merenhinhim da.
26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue exulted; moreover also, my flesh shall dwell in hope;
Ɛno enti, me kra ani gye, na me de me tɛkrɛma di ahurisie. Me onipadua nso bɛhome asomdwoeɛ mu.
27 because thou wilt not abandon my soul to the underworld, nor wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
Ɛfiri sɛ, worennya me awufoɔ mu. Na woremma wo Kronkronni no mporɔ. (Hadēs g86)
28 Thou didst make known to me the ways of life; thou wilt make me full of joy with thy countenance.”
Woakyerɛ me nkwagyeɛ ɛkwan; na wobɛma mʼani agye wɔ wʼanim.
29 Brethren, I may speak to you with freedom of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us to this day.
“Anuanom, ɛsɛ sɛ meda mʼadwene adi pefee wɔ yɛn panin Dawid ho. Ɔwuiɛ na wɔsiee no, na ne damena da so wɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
30 Being then a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath that he would set one sprung from his loins upon his throne,
Na ɔyɛ odiyifoɔ a ɔnim bɔ bi a Onyankopɔn ahyɛ no no. Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ bɔ bi sɛ ɔbɛyɛ Dawid aseni ɔhene, sɛdeɛ Dawid yɛ ɔhene no ara pɛ.
31 he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that neither was he abandoned to the underworld, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
Dawid hunuu deɛ Onyankopɔn rebɛyɛ no, ɔkasa faa owusɔreɛ a ɛfa Agyenkwa no ho sɛ, ‘Wɔannya no awufoɔ mu. Ne honam nso amporɔ.’ (Hadēs g86)
32 This Jesus God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
Onyankopɔn anyane saa Yesu yi afiri owuo mu, na yɛn nyinaa yɛ saa asɛm yi ho adansefoɔ.
33 Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, he hath poured forth this, which ye both see and hear.
Wɔahyɛ no animuonyam de no akɔtena Onyankopɔn nifa so ma ne nsa aka Honhom Kronkron no a Agya no hyɛɛ no ɛho bɔ no; ɛno na wahwie agu yɛn so a ɛho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ na mohunu na mote yi.
34 For David did not ascend into the heavens; but he himself saith, The Lord said to my lord, “Sit thou on my right hand,
Dawid ankasa de, wankɔ ɔsoro, na mmom, ɔkaa sɛ, “‘Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me wura sɛ, “Tena me nsa nifa so ha,
35 until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”
kɔsi sɛ mede wʼatamfoɔ bɛyɛ wo nan ntiasoɔ.”’
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa hunu sɛ, mo na mobɔɔ saa Yesu yi a Onyankopɔn ayɛ no Awurade ne Agyenkwa no asɛnnua mu.”
37 And when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what must we do?
Ɛberɛ a nnipa no tee saa asɛm yi no, ɛhaa wɔn yie. Enti, wɔbisaa Petro ne asomafoɔ a aka no sɛ, “Anuanom, ɛdeɛn na yɛnyɛ?”
38 But Peter said to them, Repent, and let every one of you be baptized to the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnu mo ho na wɔmmɔ mo asu wɔ Yesu Kristo din mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔde mo bɔne bɛkyɛ mo na moanya Onyankopɔn akyɛdeɛ a ɛyɛ Honhom Kronkron no.
39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all that are afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ Honhom Kronkron yi ho bɔ maa mo ne mo mma ne wɔn a wɔtete akyirikyiri ne wɔn a Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, bɛfrɛ wɔn aba ne nkyɛn no nyinaa.”
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this perverse generation.
Petro kaa nsɛm bebree kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnye mo ho mfiri asotwe a ɛreba saa nnebɔneyɛfoɔ yi so no mu.”
41 They therefore received his word, and were baptized; and there were added on that day about three thousand souls.
Wɔn mu dodoɔ no ara gyee asɛm no diiɛ maa wɔbɔɔ wɔn asu. Saa ɛda no, nnipa bɛyɛ mpensa na wɔbɛkaa agyidifoɔ no ho.
42 And they were constantly attending on the teaching of the apostles, and the imparting [[of their substance]], the breaking of bread, and the prayers.
Daa na wɔde wɔn adagyeɛ nyinaa sua asomafoɔ no nkyerɛkyerɛ. Wɔne wɔn nyaa ayɔnkofa, hyia didi bɔɔ mu ne wɔn bɔɔ mpaeɛ.
43 And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were wrought through the apostles.
Asomafoɔ no yɛɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ bebree maa obiara a ɔhunuiɛ no ho dwirii no.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
Agyidifoɔ no nyinaa kɔɔ so tenaa ase sɛ nnipa korɔ, na wɔkyekyɛɛ wɔn ahodeɛ mu momaa wɔn ho wɔn ho.
45 and they sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as any one had need.
Wɔtɔn wɔn ahodeɛ kyekyɛɛ sika a wɔnya firii mu no maa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛdeɛ ɛho hia obiara.
46 And attending daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread in a private house, they partook of their food with gladness and singleness of heart,
Daa na wɔbɔ mu hyia wɔ asɔredan mu de anigyeɛ ne akoma pa bɔ mu didi wɔ wɔn afie mu, kamfo Onyankopɔn, nya animuonyam wɔ nnipa anim.
47 praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were in the way of salvation.
Ɛda biara na Awurade de wɔn a ɔgye wɔn nkwa no bɛka wɔn ho.
