Acts 11
1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
Asomafoɔ ne agyidifoɔ a wɔwɔ Yudea nyinaa tee sɛ amanamanmufoɔ no nso agye Onyankopɔn asɛm no adi.
2 And when Peter had come to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
Petro kɔɔ Yerusalem no, Yudafoɔ agyidifoɔ no ne no nyaa akasakasa kaa sɛ,
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
“Woakɔ wɔn a wɔnnyɛ twetiatwafoɔ no nkyɛn ne wɔn akɔdidi.”
4 But Peter went over the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order to them, saying,
Petro bɔɔ wɔn biribiara a ɛsii no ho amaneɛ sɛ,
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
“Na merebɔ mpaeɛ wɔ Yopa na menyaa anisoadehunu. Mehunuu biribi a ɛte sɛ ntoma kɛseɛ a wɔakyekyere nʼafannan sɛ ɛfiri ɔsoro resiane ba fam reba abɛsi me ho.
6 Upon which when I had fastened my eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Mehwɛɛ mu no, mehunuu ntɔteboa ahodoɔ, mmoa a wɔwea ne wiram nnomaa.
7 And I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
Afei, nne bi ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Petro! Sɔre! Kum na we!’
8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
“Mebuaa sɛ, ‘Dabi, Awurade! Mennii biribiara a ɛho nteɛ da.’
9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
“Ɛnne no ka kyerɛɛ me bio sɛ, ‘Biribiara a Onyankopɔn ate ho no, nka sɛ ɛho nte.’
10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
Saa anisoadehunu yi baa mprɛnsa, na ɛsane kɔɔ ɔsoro.
11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come to the house where I was, sent from Caesarea to me.
“Saa ɛberɛ no ara mu, nnipa baasa a wɔasoma wɔn firi Kaesarea no bɛduruu efie a na mete mu no mu.
12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house:
Honhom Kronkron ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, menntwentwɛn me nan ase na me ne wɔn nkɔ. Saa agyidifoɔ baasa yi a wɔfiri Yopa no kaa me ho kɔɔ Kaesarea maa yɛn nyinaa kɔɔ Kornelio efie.
13 And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
Ɔkaa sɛdeɛ ɔhunuu ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ wɔ ne fie maa ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Soma kɔ Yopa kɔfrɛ ɔbarima bi a ne din de Simon Petro no.
14 Who shall tell thee words, by which thou and all thy house shall be saved.
Ɔno na ɔbɛka nsɛm a ɛbɛgye wo ne wo fiefoɔ nyinaa nkwa akyerɛ mo.’
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
“Ɛberɛ a mehyɛɛ aseɛ kasaeɛ no, Honhom Kronkron baa wɔn so sɛdeɛ yɛn nso ahyɛaseɛ no, ɛbaa yɛn so no ara pɛ.
16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized in water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.
Ɛhɔ ara mekaee asɛm a Awurade kaa sɛ, ‘Yohane de nsuo na ɛbɔɔ asu na mo de, wɔde Honhom Kronkron na ɛbɛbɔ mo asu’ no.
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the same gift as he did to us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
Sɛ Onyankopɔn ama wɔn akyɛdeɛ a ɛberɛ a yɛgyee Awurade Yesu Kristo diiɛ no ɔmaa yɛn bi no a, ɛnneɛ me sɛɛ ne hwan a mɛsi Onyankopɔn kwan.”
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance to life.
Wɔtee saa asɛm yi no, wɔgyaee wɔn nsɛmmisa no yii Awurade ayɛ sɛ, “Afei, deɛ Onyankopɔn ama ho kwan ama amanamanmufoɔ anya adwensakyera a ɛde wɔn bɛkɔ nkwagyeɛ mu.”
19 Now they who were dispersed upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but to the Jews only.
Wɔkumm Stefano no, wɔtaa agyidifoɔ no maa wɔbɔ hweteeɛ, Wɔn mu bi kyinkyini kɔduruu Foinike, ne Kipro, ne Antiokia a na wɔreka asɛmpa no kyerɛ Yudafoɔ nko ara.
20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
Agyidifoɔ bi a wɔfiri Kipro ne Kirene kɔɔ Antiokia kɔkaa asɛmpa a ɛfa Awurade Yesu Kristo ho no kyerɛɛ amanamanmufoɔ no.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
Esiane sɛ na Awurade ka wɔn ho no enti, nnipa pii gyee asɛm no diiɛ maa wɔdane baa Awurade nkyɛn.
22 Then tidings of these things came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
Saa asɛm yi trɛ kɔduruu Yerusalem asafo no mu enti, wɔsomaa Barnaba kɔɔ Antiokia.
23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would continue with the Lord.
Ɔduruu hɔ a ɔhunuu sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn ahyira wɔn no, nʼani gyeeɛ maa ɔhyɛɛ wɔn nkuran sɛ, wɔmfiri wɔn akoma nyinaa mu nnye Awurade nni na wɔnni no nokorɛ nso.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and many people were added to the Lord.
Esiane sɛ na Barnaba yɛ onipa pa a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma na ɔwɔ gyidie enti, ɛmaa nnipa bebree nam ne so de wɔn ho maa Awurade.
25 Then Barnabas departed to Tarsus, to seek Saul:
Barnaba kɔɔ Tarso kɔhwehwɛɛ Saulo.
26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
Ɔhunuu no no, ɔde no baa Antiokia. Wɔn baanu tenaa hɔ afe, kyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa bebree. Antiokia ha na wɔtoo asuafoɔ no din sɛ “Akristofoɔ.”
27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Saa ɛberɛ korɔ yi ara mu, adiyifoɔ bi firi Yerusalem kɔɔ Antiokia.
28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be a great famine throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
Wɔn mu baako a wɔfrɛ no Agabo a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no sɔre gyina hyɛɛ nkɔm sɛ, ɛkɔm kɛseɛ bɛba asase nyinaa so. Saa ɛkɔm yi sii ɛberɛ a na Klaudio di adeɛ no.
29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea:
Asuafoɔ no yɛɛ adwene sɛ biribiara a obi wɔ no wɔde bɛba na wɔde akɔboa anuanom a wɔwɔ Yudea no.
30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Akyɛdeɛ a wɔn nsa kaeɛ no, wɔde somaa Barnaba ne Saulo maa wɔde kɔmaa asafo no mu mpanimfoɔ.
