Acts 10
1 Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
Ɔbarima bi tenaa Kaesarea a ne din de Kornelio. Na ɔyɛ Roma asraafo bi a wɔn din de Italia Asraafodɔm no so panyin.
2 a devout man, and one who feared God with all his house, who gave gifts for the needy generously to the people, and always prayed to God.
Na ɔne ne fifo nyinaa yɛ Nyamesurofo. Ɔyɛ obi a na ɔboa ahiafo na daa ɔbɔ mpae nso.
3 At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
Da bi awia bɛyɛ nnɔnabiɛsa na ohuu Onyankopɔn bɔfo wɔ anisoadehu mu se waba ne nkyɛn abɛfrɛ no se, “Kornelio!”
4 He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.
Kornelio de hu hwɛɛ no dinn. Obisae se, “Ɛyɛ dɛn Awurade?” Ɔbɔfo no buae se, “Wo mpae ne wʼadɔe a woyɛ ahiafo no adu Onyankopɔn anim sɛ nkae ade.
5 Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.
Soma nnipa na wɔnkɔ Yopa nkɔfa ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Simon Petro mmra.
6 He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.
Ɔte ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Simon a ɔhyɛ mmoa nhoma aduru a ne fi bɛn mpoano no nkyɛn.”
7 When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.
Ɔbɔfo no kasa kyerɛɛ no wiee a ɔkɔe no, Kornelio frɛɛ nʼasomfo baanu, san frɛɛ nʼasraafo no mu baako a ɔyɛ Onyamesuroni kaa wɔn ho,
8 Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.
kaa biribiara a wahu no kyerɛɛ wɔn somaa wɔn Yopa.
9 Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.
Ade kyee a wɔrekɔ no, ɛbɛyɛ owigyinae a wɔrebɛn kurow no na Petro kɔɔ ɔdan a ɔte mu no atifi kɔbɔɔ mpae.
10 He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.
Saa bere no, na ɔkɔm de no a wogu so reyɛ aduan ama no na ɔkɔɔ tebea bi a ɛte sɛ adaeso mu.
11 He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,
Ohuu sɛ ɔsoro abue na biribi a ɛte sɛ ntama kɛse a wɔakyekyere fi ɔsoro afanan resian ba fam.
12 in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.
Na ntɔteboa ahorow ne mmoa a wɔwea ne wuram nnomaa ahyɛ saa ntama no ma.
13 A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”
Afei nne bi ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Petro, sɔre na kum bi we!”
14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”
Petro buae se, “Dabi da, Awurade, minnii biribiara a ɛho ntew da.”
15 A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”
Nne no ka kyerɛɛ no bio se, “Biribiara a Onyankopɔn atew ho no, nka se ɛho ntew.”
16 This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.
Saa anisoadehu yi baa mprɛnsa. Afei ntama no san kɔɔ ɔsoro.
17 Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,
Saa bere a na Petro redwinnwen anisoadehu no ho no, nnipa a Kornelio somaa wɔn no koduu Petro abobow ano.
18 and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.
Wɔfrɛ bisae se, “Saa ofi yi mu na Simon Petro te no ana?”
19 While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.
Petro gu so redwinnwen anisoadehu no ho no, Honhom Kronkron ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Simon, mmarima baasa bi rehwehwɛ wo.
20 But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
Sian si fam. Ntwentwɛn wo nan ase na wo ne wɔn nkɔ, efisɛ me na masoma wɔn.”
21 Peter went down to the men, and said, “Behold, I am he whom you seek. Why have you come?”
Petro sian kɔɔ fam kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mene onipa a morehwehwɛ no no, na mo amanneɛ?”
22 They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”
Nnipa no buaa no se, “Yefi asraafo panyin Kornelio nkyɛn. Ɔyɛ ɔtreneeni ne Onyamesuroni a Yudafo nyinaa bu no. Onyankopɔn bɔfo ka kyerɛɛ no se ɔnsoma mfrɛ wo mmra ne fi na ontie asɛm bi mfi wo nkyɛn.”
23 So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.
Petro gyee nnipa no, som wɔn hɔho. Ade kyee no, Petro ne nnipa no ne agyidifo bi a wofi Yopa bɔɔ anan kɔe.
24 On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.
Ade kyee a oduu Kaesarea no, na Kornelio afrɛfrɛ nʼabusuafo ne ne nnamfonom ahyia retwɛn no.
25 When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.
Petro reyɛ awura fie hɔ no, Kornelio hyiaa no, buu no nkotodwe.
26 But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”
Nanso Petro ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɔre, efisɛ me nso meyɛ onipa sɛ wo ara.”
27 As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.
Petro ne Kornelio gu so rekasa no, wowuraa ofi no mu kɔtoo nnipa bebree.
28 He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo ara munim pefee sɛ Yudafo mmara mma Yudani kwan sɛ ɔkɔsra amanamanmuni anaasɛ ɔde ne ho bɔ no. Nanso Onyankopɔn akyerɛ me sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ meka sɛ onipa bi ho ntew.
29 Therefore I also came without complaint when I was sent for. I ask therefore, why did you send for me?”
Eyi nti na mosoma bɛfrɛɛ me no mantwentwɛn me nan ase no. Afei kyerɛ me nea enti a wosoma bɛfrɛɛ me no.”
30 Cornelius said, “Four days ago, I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour, I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing
Kornelio kae se, “Nnɛ ne nnaanan awia nnɔnabiɛsa a merebɔ mpae wɔ me fi no, mihuu sɛ ɔbarima bi a ɔhyɛ atade a ɛhyerɛn gyina mʼanim.
31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.
Ɔkae se, ‘Kornelio, wo mpaebɔ ne wʼadɔe a woyɛ ahiafo no adu Onyankopɔn anim sɛ nkae ade.
32 Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’
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 nhoma aduru a ne fi bɛn mpoano no nkyɛn.’
33 Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”
Mesoma ma wɔbɛfrɛɛ wo, na wo nso woayɛ ade sɛ woaba. Mprempren, yɛn nyinaa ahyia wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu rebetie asɛm biara a Awurade ahyɛ wo sɛ ka kyerɛ yɛn no.”
34 Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;
Petro fii ase kasae se, “Afei mahu sɛ ɛyɛ nokware sɛ Onyankopɔn nyɛ nyiyimu,
35 but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
na mmom ɔman biara mu, nea ɔyɛ ade trenee no ogye no.
36 The word which he sent to the children of Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all—
Munim asɛmpa a ɛfa asomdwoe ho a ɛnam yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo a ɔyɛ nnipa nyinaa Awurade no so de brɛɛ Israelfo no.
37 you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Munim nsɛm a esisii wɔ Yudea, a efii ase wɔ Galilea, Yohane asubɔ ho asɛnka no akyi.
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
Munim sɛnea Onyankopɔn de Honhom Kronkron ne tumi maa Yesu Nasareni no. Esiane sɛ Onyankopɔn ka ne ho no nti ɔkɔɔ mmeaemmeae, yɛɛ papa, saa wɔn a ɔbonsam afa wɔn no yare.
39 We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.
“Yɛyɛ dwuma a odii wɔ Yudaman mu ne Yerusalem no ho nnansefo. Wɔbɔɔ no asennua mu kum no.
40 God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,
Nanso ne nnansa so no, Onyankopɔn ma ɔsɔre fii awufo mu ma okoyii ne ho adi.
41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
Wanyi ne ho adi ankyerɛ nnipa nyinaa sɛ yɛn a yɛyɛ nnansefo a Onyankopɔn ayi yɛn dedaw no. Ɔsɔre fii awufo mu no, yɛne no didi nomee.
42 He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.
Na ɔhyɛɛ yɛn sɛ, yɛnka asɛmpa no nkyerɛ nnipa nyinaa, na yenni ne ho adanse sɛ, ɔno ne nea Onyankopɔn ayi no asi hɔ sɛ ommu ateasefo ne awufo atɛn no.
43 All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”
Adiyifo nyinaa kaa ne ho asɛm se, wɔnam ne din so de obiara a ogye no di no bɔne bɛkyɛ no.”
44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.
Petro gu so rekasa no, Honhom Kronkron baa wɔn a wɔretie asɛm no nyinaa so.
45 They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.
Yudafo agyidifo a wɔne Petro fi Yopa bae no ho dwiriw wɔn sɛ Onyankopɔn ahwie nʼakyɛde a ɛyɛ Honhom Kronkron no agu amanamanmufo no nso so.
46 For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
Efisɛ wɔtee sɛ wɔreka kasa foforo reyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ wɔ ne kɛseyɛ ho. Petro kae se,
47 “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”
“Saa nnipa yi anya Honhom Kronkron sɛnea yɛn nso yenyaa bi no. Obi betumi asiw wɔn asubɔ ho kwan ana?”
48 He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.
Petro hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmmɔ wɔn asu wɔ Yesu Kristo din mu. Afei wɔsrɛɛ no sɛ onni nna kakra wɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
