Acts 2
1 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Pentekoste da no duruiɛ no, na asuafoɔ no nyinaa ahyia wɔ faako.
2 Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the 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 Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
Egya a ɛrederɛ a ɛte sɛ tɛkrɛma bɛsisii wɔn so mmaako mmaako.
4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
Honhom Kronkron no hyɛɛ wɔn nyinaa ma, na wɔkaa kasa foforɔ, sɛdeɛ Honhom no maa wɔn ho kwan.
5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.
Saa ɛberɛ no na Yudafoɔ bi a wɔfɛre Onyame firi mmeaeɛ mmeaeɛ aba Yerusalem.
6 When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone 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 They were all amazed and marvelled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?
Enti, wɔbisaa sɛ, “Na saa nnipa yi a wɔrekasa yi nyɛ Galileafoɔ anaa?
8 How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?
Na adɛn enti na yɛte sɛ wɔreka Onyankopɔn anwanwadwuma ho asɛm wɔ yɛn a yɛyɛ
9 Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,
Partifoɔ, Mediafoɔ ne Elamfoɔ, ne wɔn a wɔte Mesopotamia ne Yudea ne Kapadokia, Ponto, Asia,
10 Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, 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—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”
ne Kretafoɔ ne Arabfoɔ mu biara kasa mu yi?”
12 They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”
Wɔde ahodwirie bisaa sɛ, “Yei ase ne sɛn?”
13 Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with 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 spoke out to them, “You men of Judea and all you who dwell at Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen 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 aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only 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 has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
Asɛm a asi yi na odiyifoɔ Yoɛl hyɛɛ ho nkɔm sɛ:
17 ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. 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 Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
Saa mmerɛ no mu no, mɛhwie me Honhom agu mʼasomfoɔ mpo so, mmarima ne mmaa, ama wɔahyɛ nkɔm.
19 I will show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth beneath: blood, and fire, and billows 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 great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
Ansa na Awurade da kɛseɛ no bɛba no, owia bɛduru sum na ɔsrane nso ayɛ sɛ mogya.
21 It will be that whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
Na obiara a ɔbɛbɔ Awurade din no bɛnya nkwa.’
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words! Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and wonders and signs which God did by him amongst you, even as you 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 him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;
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 whom God raised up, having freed him from the agony 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 says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, for 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 was glad, and my tongue rejoiced. Moreover my flesh also will dwell in hope,
Ɛno enti, me kra ani gye, na me de me tɛkrɛma di ahurisie. Me onipadua nso bɛhome asomdwoeɛ mu.
27 because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Hadēs g86)
Ɛfiri sɛ, worennya me awufoɔ mu. Na woremma wo Kronkronni no mporɔ. (Hadēs g86)
28 You made known to me the ways of life. You will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
Woakyerɛ me nkwagyeɛ ɛkwan; na wobɛma mʼani agye wɔ wʼanim.
29 “Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with 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 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on 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 foreseeing this, spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay. (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, to which 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 promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you now 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 didn’t ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit by 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 your enemies a footstool for your feet.”’
kɔsi sɛ mede wʼatamfoɔ bɛyɛ wo nan ntiasoɔ.”’
36 “Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you 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 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall 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 Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you 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 who are far off, even as many as the Lord our God will call to himself.”
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 With many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”
Petro kaa nsɛm bebree kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnye mo ho mfiri asotwe a ɛreba saa nnebɔneyɛfoɔ yi so no mu.”
41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptised. There were added 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 They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.
Daa na wɔde wɔn adagyeɛ nyinaa sua asomafoɔ no nkyerɛkyerɛ. Wɔne wɔn nyaa ayɔnkofa, hyia didi bɔɔ mu ne wɔn bɔɔ mpaeɛ.
43 Fear came on every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.
Asomafoɔ no yɛɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ bebree maa obiara a ɔhunuiɛ no ho dwirii no.
44 All who believed were together, and had all things in common.
Agyidifoɔ no nyinaa kɔɔ so tenaa ase sɛ nnipa korɔ, na wɔkyekyɛɛ wɔn ahodeɛ mu momaa wɔn ho wɔn ho.
45 They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed them to all, according as anyone had need.
Wɔtɔn wɔn ahodeɛ kyekyɛɛ sika a wɔnya firii mu no maa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛdeɛ ɛho hia obiara.
46 Day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took 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 favour with all the people. The Lord added to the assembly day by day those who were being saved.
Ɛda biara na Awurade de wɔn a ɔgye wɔn nkwa no bɛka wɔn ho.
