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.
And Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, [which is] 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 who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they placed every day at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who were going 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 enter into the temple, asked to receive alms.
4 Petro kple Yohanes trɔ kpɔe dũu, eye Petro gblɔ nɛ be, “Fɔ ta dzi nàkpɔ míaƒe ŋkume.”
And Peter, looking stedfastly 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 to 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 I have not; but what I have, this give I to thee: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean rise up and 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 having taken hold of him [by] the right hand he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones were made strong.
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 walked, and 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 recognised him, that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to 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 to them in the portico which 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 Peter, seeing it, answered the people, Men of Israel, why are ye astonished at this? or why do ye gaze on us as if we had by our own power or piety 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 Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged that he should be let go.
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 that a man [that was] a murderer should be granted to you;
15 Ɛ̃, miewu ame si nye Agbenala la gake Mawu fɔe ɖe tsitre tso ame kukuwo dome. Míawo la, míenye esia ƒe ɖaseɖilawo.
but the originator of life ye slew, whom God raised from among [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, his name has made this [man] strong whom ye behold and know; and the faith which is by him has given him this complete 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 ye did it in ignorance, as 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 God has thus fulfilled what he had announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.
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 therefore and be converted, for the blotting out of your sins, so that times of refreshing may come from [the] presence of the Lord,
20 ne wòaɖo Kristo si nye Yesu, ame si wòtia na mi la ɖe mi.
and he may send Jesus Christ, who was foreordained for you,
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 heaven indeed must receive till [the] times of [the] restoring of all things, of which God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets since time began. (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 your God raise up to you out of your brethren like me: him shall ye hear in everything whatsoever he shall say to 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 whatsoever soul shall not hear that prophet shall be 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.
And indeed all the prophets from Samuel and those in succession after [him], as many as have spoken, have announced also 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 appointed to our fathers, saying to 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.”
To you first God, having raised up his servant, has sent him, blessing you in turning each one [of you] from your wickedness.
