Imisebenzi 9
1 Kwathi uSawuli, esaphefumula insongo lokubulala emelane labafundi beNkosi, waya kumpristi omkhulu,
Saa ɛberɛ no na Saulo ani abere sɛ ɔbɛtɔre Kristo akyidifoɔ no ase.
2 wacela kuye incwadi zokuya eDamaseko kumasinagoge, ukuze kuthi uba ethola abanye baleyondlela, amadoda kanye labafazi, abalethe eJerusalema bebotshiwe.
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 Kwathi ekuhambeni, kwenzeka ukuthi esesondele eDamaseko; njalo kwahle kwamphazimela inhlangothi zonke ukukhanya okuvela ezulwini;
Ɔreyɛ abɛn Damasko no, prɛko pɛ, hann bi firi ɔsoro twa faa ne ho,
4 njalo ewela emhlabathini, wezwa ilizwi lisithi kuye: Sawuli, Sawuli, ungizingelelani?
maa ɔtwa hwee fam. Afei, ɔtee nne bi sɛ, “Saulo! Adɛn enti na wotaa me?”
5 Wasesithi: Ungubani, Nkosi? INkosi yasisithi: Mina nginguJesu omzingelayo; kulukhuni kuwe ukukhahlelana lezincijo.
Saulo bisaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ wo hwan, Owura?” Nne no buaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ me Yesu a wotaa me no.”
6 Ethuthumela njalo emangala wathi: Nkosi, uthanda ukuthi ngenzeni? LeNkosi yathi kuye: Sukuma ungene emzini, njalo uzatshelwa lokho omele ukwenze.
Nne no kaa sɛ, “Sɔre na kɔ kuro no mu na wɔbɛkyerɛ wo deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ.”
7 Lamadoda ayehamba laye ayemi engelakukhuluma, esizwa ilizwi, kodwa engaboni muntu.
Nnipa a wɔne Saulo nam no gyinaeɛ a wɔantumi anka hwee; wɔtee nne no, nanso wɔanhunu obiara.
8 USawuli wasevuka emhlabathini; kwathi esevule amehlo akhe, kabonanga muntu. Basebembamba ngesandla, bamusa eDamaseko.
Afei, Saulo sɔre firii fam hɔ buee nʼani, nanso na ɔnhunu adeɛ. Enti, wɔkurakura no nkakrankakra de no kɔɔ Damasko.
9 Wasesiba lensuku ezintathu engaboni, njalo engadli futhi enganathi.
Nnansa a ɔdii wɔ Damasko no na ɔnhunu hwee. Na ɔnnidi na ɔnnom nso.
10 Kwakukhona eDamaseko umfundi othile uAnaniya ngebizo; iNkosi yasisithi kuye ngombono: Ananiya! Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha, Nkosi.
Na osuani bi wɔ Damasko a wɔfrɛ no Anania. Awurade frɛɛ no anisoadehunu mu sɛ, “Anania!” Ɔgyee so sɛ, “Awurade!”
11 INkosi yasisithi kuye: Sukuma uye endleleni ethiwa iQondile, udinge endlini kaJudasi umuntu, uSawuli ngebizo, weTarsu; ngoba khangela uyakhuleka,
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 njalo ubonile ngombono umuntu, uAnaniya ngebizo, engena ebeka isandla phezu kwakhe, ukuze abuye abone.
Anisoadehunu mu, ɔhunuu ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Anania a ɔde ne nsa too ne so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛsane ahunu adeɛ.”
13 Kodwa uAnaniya waphendula wathi: Nkosi, ngizwile ngabanengi ngalindoda, kungakanani okubi akwenzileyo kwabangcwele bakho eJerusalema;
Anania buaa sɛ, “Awurade, mate saa ɔbarima yi ho nsɛm bebree, ne ha a ɔha wʼakyidifoɔ wɔ Yerusalem no.
14 lalapha ulamandla avela kubapristi abakhulu, okubopha bonke labo 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 kuye: Hamba, ngoba lowo uyisitsha sami esikhethiweyo, ukuphatha ibizo lami phambi kwezizwe lamakhosi, labantwana bakoIsrayeli;
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 ngoba mina ngizamtshengisa ukuthi umele ukuhlupheka kangakanani ngenxa yebizo lami.
Na mɛkyerɛ no amaneɛ a ɛsiane me din enti ɔbɛhunu.”
17 UAnaniya wasesuka wangena endlini, wabeka izandla zakhe phezu kwakhe esithi: Sawuli mzalwane, iNkosi ingithumile, uJesu obonakele kuwe endleleni oze ngayo, ukuze ubuye ubone njalo 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 Kwahle kwawa emehlweni akhe kwangathi zinkwethu, wahle wabuye wabona, njalo esukuma wabhabhathizwa,
Amonom hɔ ara, biribi a ɛte sɛ abon firii nʼani so na ɔhunuu adeɛ. Ɔsɔre maa wɔbɔɔ no asu.
19 njalo esedlile wathola amandla. USawuli wasehlala labafundi ababeseDamaseko insuku ezithile.
Ɔnyaa aduane bi di meeɛ no, ne ho sanee no. Saulo dii nna kakra wɔ asuafoɔ a na wɔwɔ Damasko no nkyɛn.
20 Wahle-ke watshumayela uKristu emasinagogeni, ukuthi yena uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.
Ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ kaa asɛmpa no wɔ hyiadan mu sɛ, Yesu yɛ Onyankopɔn Ba ampa.
21 Njalo bonke abezwayo basanganiseka bathi: Lo kayisuye yini owachitha eJerusalema labo ababiza lelibizo, lalapha uzele lokho ukuthi abaqhube bebotshiwe abase kubapristi abakhulu?
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 waqiniswa kakhulu, wasanganisa amaJuda akhileyo eDamaseko, eqinisa ukuthi lo unguye uKristu.
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 Kwathi sezigcwalisiwe insuku ezinengi, amaJuda enza icebo ndawonye ukuthi ambulale;
Nna bi akyi no, Yudafoɔ no bɔɔ Saulo ho pɔ sɛ wɔbɛkum no,
24 kodwa iqhinga lawo laziwa nguSawuli. Aselinda emasangweni emini lebusuku, ukuze ambulale;
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 abafundi bamthatha ebusuku, bamehlisela emthangaleni bemehlisa ngesilulu.
Anadwo bi Saulo akyidifoɔ de no sii kɛntɛn bi mu, twetwee no faa ɔfasuo so gyaa no sii fam.
26 Kwathi uSawuli esefikile eJerusalema, wazama ukuzihlanganisa labafundi; kodwa bonke bamesaba, bengakholwa ukuthi ungumfundi.
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 uBarnabasi wamthatha wamusa kubaphostoli, wabalandisela ukuthi uyibone njani iNkosi endleleni, lokuthi ikhulumile kuye, lokuthi eDamaseko ukhulume njani ngesibindi ebizweni 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 Wasehlala labo engena ephuma eJerusalema,
Saulo ne wɔn tenaeɛ na ɔde akokoɔduru kaa Awurade asɛm no wɔ Yerusalem nyinaa.
29 wasekhuluma ngesibindi ngebizo leNkosi uJesu, wakhuluma njalo futhi ephikisana lamaHelenisiti; kodwa bazama ukumbulala.
Saulo ne Helenifoɔ nyaa akasakasa enti wɔbɔɔ pɔ sɛ wɔbɛkum no.
30 Kodwa abazalwane sebekwazi bamehlisela eKesariya, bamthuma eTarsu.
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 Ngakho amabandla kuyo yonke iJudiya leGalili leSamariya aba lokuthula, esakheka, ehamba ekwesabeni iNkosi langenduduzo kaMoya oNgcwele, anda.
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 Kwasekusithi uPetro edabula indawo zonke wehlela lakwabangcwele abahlala eLida.
Petro tutuu akwan kɔɔ mmeammea. Ɛda bi, ɔkɔsraa agyidifoɔ a wɔwɔ Lida no,
33 Wasefica khona umuntu othile uEneya ngebizo, owayeselele ecansini iminyaka eyisificaminwembili, ome umhlubulo.
ɔhyiaa ɔbarima bi a ne din de Enea a wabubu agu kɛtɛ so mfeɛ nnwɔtwe wɔ hɔ.
34 UPetro wasesithi kuye: Eneya, uJesu Kristu uyakusilisa; sukuma uzendlalele icansi. Njalo wahle wasukuma.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Enea, Awurade Yesu Kristo nsa wo yadeɛ. Sɔre na yi wo kɛtɛ!” Amonom hɔ ara, Enea sɔree.
35 Basebembona bonke abakhileyo eLida leSaroni, abaphendukela eNkosini.
Nnipa a wɔte Lida ne Saron no nyinaa hunuu no no, wɔde wɔn ho maa Awurade.
36 Kwakukhona eJopha umfundikazi othile, uTabitha ngebizo, okungokuchasiswa kuthiwa nguDorkasi; lo wayegcwele imisebenzi emihle lemisebenzi yomusa ayenzayo.
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 Kwasekusithi kulezonsuku wagula wafa; sebemgezisile bamlalisa endlini ephezulu.
Saa ɛberɛ korɔ yi ara mu na yadeɛ bɔɔ no maa ɔwuiɛ. Wɔdwaree no de no kɔtoo abansoro dan bi mu.
38 Njalo njengoba iLida yayiseduze leJopha, abafundi sebezwile ukuthi uPetro wayekhona kuyo, bathuma amadoda amabili kuye, bemncenga ukuthi angaphuzi ukuza kubo.
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 UPetro wasesukuma wahamba labo; okwathi esefikile bamthatha bamusa endlini ephezulu, labafelokazi bonke bema laye bekhala bemtshengisa izembatho lezigqoko uDorkasi ayezenzile eselabo.
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 Kodwa uPetro esebakhuphele phandle bonke eguqa ngamadolo wakhuleka; esetshibilikela esidunjini, wathi: Tabitha, vuka! Wasevula amehlo akhe; wabona uPetro, walulama.
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 Wamelulela isandla, wamsukumisa; esebize abangcwele labafelokazi, wambeka phambi kwabo ephila.
Petro sɔɔ ne nsa ma ɔsɔre gyinaa hɔ. Afei, Petro frɛɛ agyidifoɔ no ne akunafoɔ no nyinaa de no maa wɔn.
42 Kwasekusaziwa kuyo yonke iJopha, labanengi bakholwa eNkosini.
Saa asɛm yi trɛɛ wɔ Yopa nyinaa maa nnipa pii gyee Awurade diiɛ.
43 Kwenzeka ukuthi ahlale eJopha insuku ezinengi loSimoni othile umtshuki wezikhumba.
Petro tenaa Simon a ɔhyɛ mmoa nwoma aduro no nkyɛn wɔ Yopa kyɛree kakra.
