Acts 4
1 And while they were speaking these words to the people, the priests and the Sadducees and the rulers of the temple rose up against them;
Ɛberɛ a Petro ne Yohane gu so rekasa akyerɛ nkurɔfoɔ no, asɔfoɔ ne ɔpanin a ɔhwɛ awɛmfoɔ a wɔhwɛ asɔredan no so no ne Sadukifoɔ baa wɔn nkyɛn.
2 being angry with them, that they taught the people, and preached a resurrection from the dead by the Messiah.
Wɔn bo fuu yie, ɛfiri sɛ, na saa asomafoɔ yi rekyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no sɛ Yesu asɔre afiri owuo mu a ɛkyerɛ sɛ awufoɔ tumi nyane ba nkwa mu.
3 And they laid hands on them, and kept them until the next day; because evening was drawing near.
Wɔkyeree asomafoɔ no, nanso ɛsiane sɛ na adeɛ asa enti, wɔde wɔn guu afiase kɔsii adekyeeɛ.
4 And many who had heard the word, believed; and they were, in number, about five thousand men.
Nanso nnipa a wɔtee asɛm no mu dodoɔ no ara bɛyɛ sɛ mpemnum gyee asɛm no diiɛ.
5 And the next day, the rulers and the Elders and the Scribes assembled;
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, Yudafoɔ mpanin, mpanimfoɔ ne Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ hyiaa wɔ Yerusalem.
6 and also Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and they who were of the kindred of the high priests.
Wɔhyiaa Ɔsɔfopanin Anas ne Kaiafa ne Yohane ne Aleksandro ne afoforɔ a wɔfiri Ɔsɔfopanin no abusua mu.
7 And when they had set them in the midst, they interrogated them: By what power or what name, have ye done this?
Wɔmaa wɔde asomafoɔ baanu yi baa wɔn anim bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Tumi bɛn anaa hwan din na mode yɛɛ yei?”
8 Then Simon Cephas was filled with the Holy Spirit, and said to them: Ye rulers of the people, and Elders of the house of Israel, hear ye.
Petro a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no buaa sɛ, “Ɔman mpanimfoɔ ne atitire.
9 If we are judged by you this day, respecting the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he was healed;
Sɛ ɛnnɛ mogyina ha bisa yɛn ade pa a yɛyɛ maa obubuafoɔ no maa ne ho tɔɔ no no a,
10 be it known to you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Messiah the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, and whom God hath raised from the dead, lo, by him, doth this man stand here before you recovered.
ɛnneɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mo ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa hunu sɛ, saa onipa a ɔgyina ha yi, ɛnam Yesu Kristo a ɔfiri Nasaret a mobɔɔ no asɛnnua mu na Onyankopɔn nyanee no firii awufoɔ mu no tumi mu na ne ho ayɛ no den.”
11 This is the stone, which ye builders rejected; and it hath become the head of the corner.
Yesu ne onipa a Atwerɛsɛm ka fa ne ho sɛ, “‘Ɛboɔ a mo adansifoɔ poeɛ no a abɛyɛ tweatiboɔ.’
12 Neither is there deliverance in any other; for there is not another name under heaven, which is given to men, whereby to live.
Ɔno nko ara mu na nkwagyeɛ wɔ; ɛfiri sɛ, edin biara nni ewiase ha a nnipa nam so bɛnya nkwagyeɛ.”
13 And when they heard the speech of Simon and John, which they pronounced confidently, they reflected that these were unlearned and plebeian men, and they were surprised at them, and recognized them as having been conversant with Jesus.
Ɛyɛɛ agyinatufoɔ no ahodwirie sɛ Petro ne Yohane a wɔnsuaa nwoma da na wɔyɛ nnipa teta no tumi kasa akokoɔduru so saa. Wɔhunuu sɛ saa asomafoɔ yi ne Yesu nanteeɛ.
14 And they saw that the lame man, who had been healed, stood near them; and they could say nothing to confront them.
Nnipa no antumi anka asɛm biara bio, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔhunuu sɛ ɔbarima a na ne ho atɔ no no ne Petro ne Yohane gyina hɔ.
15 Then they commanded to remove them from the presence of the council; and said one to another:
Wɔmaa wɔfirii asɛnniiɛ hɔ ma wɔdwendwenee asɛm no ho.
16 What shall we do to these men? For lo, that a manifest sign hath been wrought by them, is known to all that reside at Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
Wɔbisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na yɛnyɛ saa nnipa yi? Obiara a ɔwɔ Yerusalem ha ate sɛ saa nnipa yi ayɛ anwanwadeɛ a yɛrentumi ntwa ho nkontompo.
17 But that the fame of it spread no further, let us interdict their speaking any more to any man in this name.
Sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a saa nnipa yi remma saa asɛm yi ntrɛ nkɔ afoforɔ nkyɛn no, momma yɛmfrɛ wɔn, mmɔ wɔn kɔkɔ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔremmɔ Yesu din nkyerɛ obiara bio.”
18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak nor to teach at all in the name of Jesus.
Wɔfrɛɛ asomafoɔ baanu yi baeɛ, hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnni ho kwan biara sɛ wɔbɔ Yesu Kristo din anaa wɔkyerɛkyerɛ wɔ ne din mu.
19 Simon Cephas and John answered, and said to them: Whether it be right before God, that we hearken to you more than to God, judge ye.
Petro ne Yohane buaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ yɛbɛtie Onyankopɔn anaa yɛbɛtie mo no, emu deɛ ɛwɔ he na ɛyɛ? Mo ara mommua mfa.
20 For we cannot but speak that which we have seen and heard.
Deɛ yɛahunu ne deɛ yɛate deɛ, yɛrentumi nnyae ho asɛnka.”
21 And they threatened them, and dismissed them. For they found no ground for punishing them, because of the people: for every one praised God for what had been done;
Agyinatufoɔ no bɔɔ wɔn kɔkɔ bio gyaee wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔannya biribiara annyina so antwe wɔn aso; afei nso, na nnipa no nyinaa rekamfo Onyankopɔn wɔ asɛm a asi no ho.
22 for the man, on whom this sign of healing had been wrought, was more than forty years old.
Na ɔbarima a wɔnam anwanwakwan so saa no yadeɛ no adi boro mfeɛ aduanan.
23 And when they were dismissed, they went to their brethren, and told them all that the priests and Elders had said.
Wɔgyaee Petro ne Yohane pɛ, wɔkɔɔ agyidifoɔ a aka no nkyɛn kɔkaa deɛ asɔfoɔ mpanin ne mpanimfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
24 And they, when they heard it, unitedly lifted up their voice to God and said: Lord, thou art God, who hast made heaven, and earth, and seas, and every thing in them.
Ɛberɛ a wɔtee saa asɛm no, wɔn nyinaa bɔɔ mu bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Owura, Ɔbɔadeɛ a wobɔɔ ɔsoro, asase ne ɛpo ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu,
25 And it is thou who hast said, by the Holy Spirit in the mouth of David thy servant: Why do the nations rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
wonam Honhom Kronkron so nam yɛn nana Dawid a ɔyɛ wʼakoa no so maa ɔkaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na amanamanmufoɔ no bo afu? Adɛn enti na wɔsɛe mmerɛ yɛ nhyehyɛeɛ hunu yi?
26 The kings of the earth and the potentates stood up, and they consulted together, against the Lord, and against his anointed.
Asase so ahemfo sɔre gyina na atumfoɔ bom tu agyina tia Awurade ne Agyenkwa no.
27 For, in reality, against thy holy Son Jesus whom thou hast anointed, Herod and Pilate, with the Gentiles and the congregation of Israel, have been combined together in this city,
Ampa ara Herode ne Pontio Pilato ne amanamanmufoɔ ne Israelfoɔ hyiaa wɔ kuro kɛseɛ yi mu sɔre tiaa Yesu a ɔyɛ Ɔsomfoɔ Kronkron a woate ne ho no.
28 to do whatever thy hand and thy pleasure previously marked out to be done.
Wɔhyia yɛɛ biribiara a wonam wo tumi ne wo pɛ so ahyɛ ato hɔ sɛ ɛbɛba mu no.
29 And also now, Lord, behold and see their menaces: and grant to thy servants, that they may proclaim thy word boldly,
Afei, Awurade, hwɛ ahunahuna a wɔrehunahuna yɛn yi na ma yɛn a yɛyɛ wʼasomfoɔ yi mfa akokoɔduru nka wʼasɛm yi.
30 while thou extendest thy hand for cures and prodigies, to be done in the name of thy holy Son Jesus.
Ma wo nsa so fa sa nyarewa, na fa wo ɔsomfoɔ Kronkron Yesu Kristo din so yɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne anwanwadeɛ.”
31 And when they had prayed and made supplications, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God boldly.
Wɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ wieeɛ no, faako a wɔhyiaeɛ hɔ wosoeɛ. Honhom Kronkron bɛhyɛɛ wɔn nyinaa ma ma na wɔfirii aseɛ de akokoɔduru kaa Onyankopɔn asɛm.
32 And in the assembly of the persons that believed, there was one soul, and one mind: and no one of them said, of the property he possessed, that it was his own; but whatever was theirs, it was the community's.
Agyidifoɔ no nyinaa tenaa ase sɛ nnipa korɔ. Wɔn mu bi anka sɛ nʼankasa ahodeɛ bi yɛ ɔno nko ara dea; biribiara a wɔwɔ no, wɔn nyinaa kyekyɛɛ mu pɛ faeɛ.
33 And with great power, the legates testified to the resurrection of Jesus Messiah: and great grace was with them all.
Asomafoɔ no nam tumi a emu yɛ den so dii Awurade Yesu wusɔreɛ no ho adanseɛ na Onyankopɔn hyiraa wɔn nyinaa.
34 And no one among them was destitute; for those who possessed lands or houses, sold, and brought the price of what was sold,
Biribiara ho anhia obiara a ɔfra kuo no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn a na wɔwɔ nsase ne afie no tontɔneeɛ de sika a wɔnya firii mu no
35 and placed it at the feet of the legates; and distribution was made to every one, as he had need.
brɛɛ asomafoɔ no maa wɔkyekyɛeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛho hia obiara.
36 And Joseph, who by the legates was surnamed Barnabas, (which is interpreted Son of Consolation, ) a Levite of the country of Cyprus,
Yosef a na ɔyɛ Lewini a ɔfiri Kipro a na asomafoɔ no frɛ no Barnaba, a asekyerɛ ne “Nkuranhyɛ Ba” no,
37 had a field: and he sold it, and brought the price of it, and laid it before the feet of the legates.
tɔn nʼasase de sika a ɔnyaeɛ no brɛɛ asomafoɔ no.
