Dɔwɔwɔwo 3
1 Gbe ɖeka le ɣetrɔ ga etɔ̃ me la, Petro kple Yohanes woyina gbedoxɔ la me be yewoado gbe ɖa abe ale si wowɔnɛ ɖaa ene.
Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, [being] the ninth [hour].
2 Esi woɖo gbedoxɔ la gbɔ la, wokpɔ ŋutsu tekunɔ aɖe si wokɔ va da ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe agbo si woyɔna be, “Agbo Nyui” la nu. Amea nye tekunɔ tso eƒe dzɔdzɔme ke, eye gbe sia gbe la, wokɔnɛ va dana ɖe agbo sia nu be wòabia nu le ame siwo yina gbedoxɔ me la si.
And a certain man that was lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3 Esi wòkpɔ Petro kple Yohanes woyina ɖe gbedoxɔa me la, edo ɣli bia wo be woana ga ye.
who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked to receive an alms.
4 Petro kple Yohanes trɔ kpɔe dũu, eye Petro gblɔ nɛ be, “Fɔ ta dzi nàkpɔ míaƒe ŋkume.”
And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, with John, said, Look on us.
5 Ke tekunɔ la fɔ ŋku ɖe wo dzi gãa henɔ mɔ kpɔm be woana nane ye.
And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Petro gblɔ nɛ be, “Nɔvi, klosalo kple sika mele asinye o, ke nu si le asinye lae mana wò. Le Yesu Kristo, Nazaretitɔ la ƒe ŋkɔ me, tsi tsitre nàzɔ azɔli.”
But Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have, that give I thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.
7 Ale Petro do asi ɖa lé tekunɔ la ƒe alɔnu be wòatsi tsitre. Kasia tekunɔ la kpɔ be ŋusẽ ɖo yeƒe afɔ kple drikame ŋu.
And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and immediately his feet and his ankle-bones received strength.
8 Ale wòti kpo, tsi tsitre hede asi azɔlizɔzɔ me. Enɔ kpo tim, nɔ zɔzɔm alea henɔ Mawu kafum, eye wòdze Petro kple Yohanes yome ge ɖe gbedoxɔ la me.
And leaping up, he stood, and began to walk; and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 Ame siwo katã kpɔ ame sia wònɔ zɔzɔm, nɔ Mawu kafum la
And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
10 de dzesii be eyae nye ŋutsu ma si nɔa nu biam le gbedoxɔ la ƒe agbo si woyɔna be “Agbo Nyui” la nu; Woƒe nu ku, eye woƒe mo wɔ yaa le nu si dzɔ ɖe edzi la ta.
and they took knowledge of him, that it was he that sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
11 Ŋutsu si woyɔ dɔe la mía eɖokui ɖe Petro kple Yohanes ŋu kplikplikpli va ge ɖe gbedoxɔ la ƒe akpa si woyɔna be, Solomo ƒe Akpata la me, eye ameha la ƒo zi va wo gbɔ eye woƒe nu ku.
And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
12 Esi Petro kpɔ esia la, egblɔ na wo be, “Israeltɔwo, nu ka ta nuwɔna sia wɔ nuku na mi? Nu ka ta mile mía kpɔm abe míawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋusẽ alo míaƒe kɔkɔenyenye tae míete ŋu da gbe le ame sia ŋu, ale be wòte ŋu le zɔzɔm ɖo mahã?”
And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this man? or why fasten ye your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him to walk?
13 Medi be eme nakɔ na mi nyuie be Mawu si nye Abraham, Isak, Yakob kple mía tɔgbuitɔgbuiwo ƒe Mawu lae da gbe le ame sia ŋu be yeatsɔ ade bubu eƒe subɔla Yesu ŋu. Yesu si miede asi hegbe nu le egbɔ le Pilato ŋkume, togbɔ be Pilato dze agbagba ale gbegbe be yeaɖe asi le eŋu hafi.
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Servant Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
14 Miegbe nu le dzɔdzɔetɔ la kple kɔkɔetɔ la gbɔ eye miebia be wòaɖe asi le hlɔ̃dola ŋu boŋ.
But ye denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted unto you,
15 Ɛ̃, miewu ame si nye Agbenala la gake Mawu fɔe ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome. Míawo la, míenye esia ƒe ɖaseɖilawo.
and killed the Prince of life; whom God raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
16 “Le Yesu ƒe ŋkɔ me, to xɔse me tekunɔ sia, ame si miekpɔ, eye mienya nyuie la kpɔ dɔyɔyɔ. Yesu ƒe ŋkɔ kple xɔse si vana to eƒe ŋkɔ me lae na dɔyɔyɔ bliboe abe ale si mi katã miele ekpɔm ene.
And by faith in his name hath his name made this man strong, whom ye behold and know: yea, the faith which is through him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17 “Azɔ nɔviwo, menya be nu si miewɔ ɖe Yesu ŋu la, mienya hafi wɔe o. Nenema kee nye mia nunɔlawo hã.
And now, brethren, I know that in ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
18 Ke to wɔna siawo me la, Mawu na be nu siwo nyagblɔɖilawo gblɔ da ɖi be ele be Kristo la nakpe fu nenema la va eme.
But the things which God foreshowed by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled.
19 Ke azɔ la, nɔviwo, mitrɔ dzi me, miatrɔ ɖe Mawu ŋu, be wòatutu miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ɖa, eye miaxɔ fafa tso aƒetɔ la gbɔ,
Repent ye therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord;
20 ne wòaɖo Kristo si nye Yesu, ame si wòtia na mi la ɖe mi.
and that he may send the Christ who hath been appointed for you, [even] Jesus:
21 Ɛ̃, abe ale si nyagblɔɖila kɔkɔewo gblɔe da ɖi xoxoxo ene la, ele be Yesu nanɔ dziƒo va se ɖe esime Mawu naɖɔ nu sia nu ɖo keŋkeŋkeŋ. (aiōn g165)
whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old. (aiōn g165)
22 Mose hã gblɔe xoxo be, ‘Ɣeyiɣi gbɔna, esi Yehowa wò Mawu ŋutɔ aɖo nyagblɔɖila tɔxɛ aɖe ɖe mia dome, tso mia nɔviwo dome abe nye Mose pɛpɛpɛ ene. Anyo na mi be miaɖo to nu sia nu si wòagblɔ na mi,
Moses indeed said, A prophet shall the Lord God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me; to him shall ye hearken in all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you.
23 elabena woatsrɔ̃ ame sia ame si mase eƒe gbe, awɔ ɖe edzi o la le eƒe amewo dome.’
And it shall be, that every soul that shall not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.
24 “Vavã nyagblɔɖilawo katã, tso Samuel ŋɔli va ɖo fifia hã ƒo nu tso nu siwo le dzɔdzɔm egbegbe la ŋu.
Yea and all the prophets from Samuel and them that followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of these days.
25 Miawoe nye nyagblɔɖila siawo ƒe dzidzimeviwo, eye nu si Mawu bla kple mia tɔgbuiwo la, miawo hã miele eme. Mawu bla nu kple Abraham be, ‘Woayra xexea me blibo la to wò dzidzimeviwo dzi.’
Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with your fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
26 Le nubabla sia ta, esi Mawu ɖo eƒe dɔla ɖe xexea me la, eɖoe ɖe mia gbɔ gbã be wòayra mi, miadzudzɔ nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ, atrɔ va Mawu gbɔ.”
Unto you first God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.
