1 Kusenjalo, uSawuli wayelokhu esonga ngomvamvithi ukubulala abafundi beNkosi. Waya kuMphristi omkhulu
Saa ɛberɛ no na Saulo ani abere sɛ ɔbɛtɔre Kristo akyidifoɔ no ase.
2 wayacela izincwadi zokuya emasinagogweni aseDamaseko, ukuze kuthi nxa engafumana khonale labo abangabeNdlela, abesilisa loba abesifazane, abalethe eJerusalema beyizibotshwa.
Ɔkɔɔ Ɔsɔfopanin no nkyɛn kɔgyee adansedie krataa a ɛbɛma no tumi ama wakɔ hyiadan mu wɔ Damasko akɔkyekyere nnipa a wɔka ekuo a wɔfrɛ no Ɛkwan no ho, sɛ wɔyɛ mmaa anaa mmarima, na ɔde wɔn akɔ Yerusalem.
3 Wathi esebanga eDamaseko ngohambo lwakhe, masinyane kwaphazima ukukhanya kuvela ezulwini kwamzingelezela.
Ɔreyɛ abɛn Damasko no, prɛko pɛ, hann bi firi ɔsoro twa faa ne ho,
4 Wawela phansi, wezwa ilizwi lisithi kuye, “Sawuli, Sawuli, ungihlukuluzelani na?”
maa ɔtwa hwee fam. Afei, ɔtee nne bi sɛ, “Saulo! Adɛn enti na wotaa me?”
5 USawuli wabuza wathi, “Ungubani, Nkosi?” Ilizwi lathi, “NginguJesu omhlukuluzayo.
Saulo bisaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ wo hwan, Owura?” Nne no buaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ me Yesu a wotaa me no.”
6 Manje phakama uye edolobheni lapho ozatshelwa khona omele ukwenze.”
Nne no kaa sɛ, “Sɔre na kɔ kuro no mu na wɔbɛkyerɛ wo deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ.”
7 Amadoda ayehamba loSawuli ema lapho esetshe amathe; balizwa ilizwi, kodwa kababonanga muntu.
Nnipa a wɔne Saulo nam no gyinaeɛ a wɔantumi anka hwee; wɔtee nne no, nanso wɔanhunu obiara.
8 USawuli wavuka phansi, kodwa wathi evula amehlo akhe wayengasaboni lutho. Ngakho bamhola ngesandla bangena laye eDamaseko.
Afei, Saulo sɔre firii fam hɔ buee nʼani, nanso na ɔnhunu adeɛ. Enti, wɔkurakura no nkakrankakra de no kɔɔ Damasko.
9 Waba yisiphofu okwensuku ezintathu, engadli njalo enganathi lutho.
Nnansa a ɔdii wɔ Damasko no na ɔnhunu hwee. Na ɔnnidi na ɔnnom nso.
10 EDamaseko kwakulomfundi owayethiwa ngu-Ananiya. INkosi yambiza ngombono yathi, “Ananiya!” Waphendula wathi, “Yebo, Nkosi.”
Na osuani bi wɔ Damasko a wɔfrɛ no Anania. Awurade frɛɛ no anisoadehunu mu sɛ, “Anania!” Ɔgyee so sɛ, “Awurade!”
11 INkosi yamtshela yathi, “Hamba uye endlini kaJudasi eMgwaqweni oQondileyo, ubuze khona ngendoda yaseThasasi ethiwa nguSawuli, ngoba iyakhuleka.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ Yuda efie a ɛwɔ Tempɔn Tee no so na kɔbisa ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Saulo a ɔfiri Tarso no ase; ɔrebɔ mpaeɛ.
12 Usebelombono wabona indoda ethiwa ngu-Ananiya ifika imbeka izandla ibuyisa ukubona kwakhe.”
Anisoadehunu mu, ɔhunuu ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Anania a ɔde ne nsa too ne so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛsane ahunu adeɛ.”
13 U-Ananiya waphendula wathi, “Nkosi sengiyizwile indumela yalumuntu mayelana lokubi konke akwenzayo ebantwini bakho eJerusalema.
Anania buaa sɛ, “Awurade, mate saa ɔbarima yi ho nsɛm bebree, ne ha a ɔha wʼakyidifoɔ wɔ Yerusalem no.
14 Uze lapha ngamandla awaphiwe ngabaphristi abakhulu ukuzabopha bonke ababiza ibizo lakho.”
Wakɔ asɔfoɔ mpanin nkyɛn akɔgye adansedie krataa a ɛbɛma no tumi na ɔde akyere obiara a ɔbɔ wo din wɔ ha no.”
15 Kodwa iNkosi yathi ku-Ananiya, “Hamba! Indoda le iyisitsha sami engisikhethileyo ukuthwala ibizo lami phambi kwabeZizwe lamakhosi abo laphambi kwabantu bako-Israyeli.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Anania sɛ, “Kɔ! Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na mayi no a menam ne so bɛma amanamanmufoɔ ne ahemfo ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa ate me din.
16 Ngizamtshengisa ukuthi uzahlupheka kanganani ngenxa yebizo lami.”
Na mɛkyerɛ no amaneɛ a ɛsiane me din enti ɔbɛhunu.”
17 U-Ananiya wasehamba esiya kuleyondlu wafika wangena. Wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kukaSawuli wathi, “Mzalwane, Sawuli, iNkosi uJesu obonakale kuwe endleleni usiza lapha ungithumile ukuze ukwazi ukubona njalo futhi ugcwaliswe ngoMoya oNgcwele.”
Afei, Anania kɔɔ efie hɔ de ne nsa guu Saulo so kaa sɛ, “Onua Saulo, Awurade Yesu no ankasa a ɔyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ wo ɛkwan so ɛberɛ a woreba no asoma me sɛ, memmɛbue wʼani na hunu adeɛ, na Honhom Kronkron nhyɛ wo ma.”
18 Masinyane, kwakhithika okwakungathi zinkwethu emehlweni kaSawuli, wasebona njalo. Wasukuma wabhaphathizwa,
Amonom hɔ ara, biribi a ɛte sɛ abon firii nʼani so na ɔhunuu adeɛ. Ɔsɔre maa wɔbɔɔ no asu.
19 kwathi esedlile, wathola amandla. USawuli wahlala insuku ezithile labafundi eDamaseko.
Ɔnyaa aduane bi di meeɛ no, ne ho sanee no. Saulo dii nna kakra wɔ asuafoɔ a na wɔwɔ Damasko no nkyɛn.
20 Waseqalisa ukutshumayela emasinagogweni ukuthi uJesu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ kaa asɛmpa no wɔ hyiadan mu sɛ, Yesu yɛ Onyankopɔn Ba ampa.
21 Bonke labo abamuzwayo bamangala babuza bathi, “Kasuye yini umuntu lo owenza isihluku eJerusalema kulabo abalibizayo lelibizo na? Njalo kabuyanga yini lapha ukuzabathatha beyizibotshwa abese kubaphristi abakhulu na?”
Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no nyinaa ho dwirii wɔn maa wɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ saa ɔbarima yi na na ɔkum wɔn a wɔbɔ saa din yi wɔ Yerusalem no anaa? Na yɛate sɛ ɔbaa ha sɛ ɔrebɛkyere wɔn a wɔbɔ saa din yi nyinaa de wɔn akɔma asɔfoɔ mpanin.”
22 Kodwa uSawuli wasebenza ngamandla amakhulu wadidekisa amaJuda ayehlala eDamaseko ngokubonisa kamhlophe ukuthi uJesu unguKhristu.
Saulo asɛnka no mu yɛɛ den; nnipa no gyee nsɛm a ɔka faa Yesu ho sɛ ɔno ne Agyenkwa no diiɛ. Yudafoɔ a wɔte Damasko no antumi anka nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ no ho hwee.
23 Sekudlule insuku ezinengi amaJuda abumba icebo lokumbulala,
Nna bi akyi no, Yudafoɔ no bɔɔ Saulo ho pɔ sɛ wɔbɛkum no,
24 kodwa uSawuli walizwa icebo labo. Emini lebusuku bamlindela emasinagogweni edolobho ukuze bambulale.
nanso Saulo tee pɔ a wɔbɔɔ wɔ ne ho no. Na wɔtetɛ no wɔ kuro no apono ano awia ne anadwo apɛ no akum no.
25 Kodwa abalandeli bakhe bamthatha ebusuku bamehlisa ngesilulu esikhaleni esasisemdulini.
Anadwo bi Saulo akyidifoɔ de no sii kɛntɛn bi mu, twetwee no faa ɔfasuo so gyaa no sii fam.
26 Wathi esefikile eJerusalema wazama ukuhlangana labafundi, kodwa bonke babemesaba, bengakholwa ukuthi ngempela wayesengumfundi.
Saulo kɔɔ Yerusalem no, ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔde ne ho kɔbɔ asuafoɔ no ho nanso wɔsuroo no, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔnnye nni sɛ wasakyera abɛyɛ osuani.
27 Kodwa uBhanabhasi wamthatha wamusa kubapostoli. Wabatshela ngokuthi uSawuli wayibona njani iNkosi esendleleni esiya eDamaseko lokuthi watshumayela njani ngesibindi ngebizo likaJesu.
Barnaba kɔfaa no kɔɔ asuafoɔ no nkyɛn. Ɔkaa wɔn sɛdeɛ Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Saulo na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ no wɔ Damasko ɛkwan so no ne sɛdeɛ ɔde akokoɔduru kaa Yesu ho asɛm wɔ Damasko no.
28 USawuli wasehlala labo, wazihambela ekhululekile eJerusalema, ekhuluma ngesibindi ngebizo leNkosi.
Saulo ne wɔn tenaeɛ na ɔde akokoɔduru kaa Awurade asɛm no wɔ Yerusalem nyinaa.
29 Wakhuluma njalo waphikisana lamaJuda esiGrikhi, kodwa azama ukumbulala.
Saulo ne Helenifoɔ nyaa akasakasa enti wɔbɔɔ pɔ sɛ wɔbɛkum no.
30 Kwathi abazalwane bekuzwa lokhu, bambalekisela eKhesariya bafika bamedlulisela eThasasi.
Ɛberɛ a agyidifoɔ no tee pɔ a Helenifoɔ no bɔɔ wɔ Saulo ho no, wɔde no kɔɔ Kaesarea gyaa no ɛkwan ma ɔkɔɔ Tarso.
31 Ngalesosikhathi ibandla kulolonke elaseJudiya leGalile leSamariya laba lesikhathi esihle sokuthula. Laqina, njalo ngokukhuthazwa nguMoya oNgcwele landa ngobunengi, lahlala liyesaba iNkosi.
Afei, asafo a wɔwɔ Yudea, Samaria ne Galilea no nyinaa asom dwoo wɔn. Asafo no nam Honhom Kronkron so timiiɛ. Nnipa pii bɛkaa wɔn ho na wɔtenaa ase wɔ Awurade suro mu.
32 Kwathi uPhethro ebhoda phakathi kwelizwe wayakwethekelela abangcwele eLida.
Petro tutuu akwan kɔɔ mmeammea. Ɛda bi, ɔkɔsraa agyidifoɔ a wɔwɔ Lida no,
33 Wafumana khonale indoda eyayithiwa ngu-Eniyasi, eyayiyisigulane esome umhlubulo sihlezi silele okweminyaka eyisificaminwembili.
ɔhyiaa ɔbarima bi a ne din de Enea a wabubu agu kɛtɛ so mfeɛ nnwɔtwe wɔ hɔ.
34 UPhethro wathi kuye, “Eniyasi, uJesu Khristu uyakusilisa. Vuka uthathe icansi lakho.” Masinyane u-Eniyasi wasukuma.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Enea, Awurade Yesu Kristo nsa wo yadeɛ. Sɔre na yi wo kɛtɛ!” Amonom hɔ ara, Enea sɔree.
35 Bonke labo ababehlala eLida laseSharoni bambona baphendukela eNkosini.
Nnipa a wɔte Lida ne Saron no nyinaa hunuu no no, wɔde wɔn ho maa Awurade.
36 EJopha kwakulomfundi owayethiwa nguThabitha (ngesiGrikhi ibizo lakhe nguDokhasi), owayehlala esenza okuhle esiza abaswelayo.
Na ɔbaa ogyedini bi te Yopa a ne din de Tabita a ne nkyerɛaseɛ ne Dorka a aseɛ ne ɔwansane. Saa ɔbaa yi de nʼadagyeɛ nyinaa yɛɛ papa, boaa ahiafoɔ.
37 Ngalesosikhathi wagula wafa, isidumbu sakhe sageziswa, sabekwa endlini ephezulu.
Saa ɛberɛ korɔ yi ara mu na yadeɛ bɔɔ no maa ɔwuiɛ. Wɔdwaree no de no kɔtoo abansoro dan bi mu.
38 ILida yayiseduze kweJopha; yikho abafundi sebezwile ukuthi uPhethro wayeseLida, bathuma amadoda amabili kuye bamncenga bathi, “Sicela ukuthi uze ngokuphangisa!”
Esiane sɛ Lida bɛn Yopa no enti, asuafoɔ a wɔwɔ Yopa no tee sɛ Petro wɔ Lida no, wɔsomaa mmarima baanu kɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ ntɛm mmra.
39 UPhethro wahamba labo, wathi ekufikeni kwakhe wasiwa endlini ephezulu. Bonke abafelokazi bema bemhanqile, bekhala, bemtshengisa izembatho lezinye izigqoko ezazithungwe nguDokhasi esaphila.
Petro yɛɛ ntɛm ne wɔn kɔeɛ. Ɔduruu hɔ no, wɔde no kɔɔ abansoro dan no mu. Akunafoɔ a na wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa bɛgyinagyinaa Petro ho suiɛ de ntadeɛ ne ntoma a Tabita te ase no ɔpam maa wɔn no kyerɛɛ no.
40 UPhethro wabakhupha bonke endlini; waseguqa ngamadolo wakhuleka. Wasephendukela esidunjini sowesifazane wathi, “Thabitha, vuka!” Owesifazane wasevula amehlo akhe, wathi ebona uPhethro wahlala.
Petro maa wɔn nyinaa firii adi. Afei, ɔbuu nkotodwe, bɔɔ mpaeɛ danee nʼani kyerɛɛ amu no kaa sɛ, “Tabita, sɔre!” Tabita tee nʼani na ɔhunuu Petro no, ɔsɔre tenaa ase.
41 Wambamba ngesandla wamsukumisa. Wasebiza amakholwa labafelokazi wamethula kubo esephila.
Petro sɔɔ ne nsa ma ɔsɔre gyinaa hɔ. Afei, Petro frɛɛ agyidifoɔ no ne akunafoɔ no nyinaa de no maa wɔn.
42 Lokhu kwasuka kwaziwa kulolonke iJopha, abantu abanengi bakholwa eNkosini.
Saa asɛm yi trɛɛ wɔ Yopa nyinaa maa nnipa pii gyee Awurade diiɛ.
43 UPhethro wahlala okwesikhathi eJopha loSimoni umtshuki wezikhumba.
Petro tenaa Simon a ɔhyɛ mmoa nwoma aduro no nkyɛn wɔ Yopa kyɛree kakra.
