1 Paulo toaa nʼakwantu no so kɔɔ Derbe ne Listra. Ɛhɔ na na ogyidini bi a ne din de Timoteo a ne na yɛ Yudani gyidini na nʼagya nso yɛ Helani no te.
Then came he to Derba and to Lystra. And beholde a certayne disciple was there named Timotheus a womans sonne which was a Iewas and beleved: but his father was a Greke.
2 Anuanom a na wɔwɔ Listra ne Ikoniom no nyinaa dii Timoteo ho adanse pa.
Of whom reported well the brethren of Lystra and of Iconium.
3 Esiane sɛ na Paulo pɛ sɛ ɔde Timoteo ka ne ho kɔ nti otwaa no twetia, efisɛ Yudafo a na wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa nim sɛ Timoteo agya yɛ Helani.
The same Paul wolde yt he shuld goo forth with him and toke and circumcised him because of the Iewes which were in those quarters: for they knewe all that his father was a Greke.
4 Kurow biara a woduu so no, wɔkaa mmara a asomafo ne mpanyimfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ahyɛ sɛ wonni so no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
As they went thorow ye cities they delyvered the the decrees for to kepe ordeyned of the Apostles and elders which were at Ierusalem.
5 Asafo no nyinii gyidi mu na daa, nnipa bebree bɛkaa wɔn ho.
And so were the congregacions stablisshed in the fayth and encreased in noumbre dayly.
6 Esiane sɛ Honhom Kronkron amma wɔn kwan sɛ wɔnka asɛm no wɔ Asia no nti, wɔkɔɔ Frigia ne Galatia.

7 Woduu Misia hye so no, wɔpɛɛ sɛ anka wɔkɔ Bitinia, nanso Yesu Honhom no amma wɔn kwan.
they came to Misia and sought to goo into Bethinia. But the sprete soffered the not.
8 Enti wɔfaa Misia kosii Troa.
Then they went over Misia and cam doune to Troada.
9 Da no anadwo Paulo huu anisoade sɛ ɔbarima bi a ofi Makedonia gyina hɔ resrɛ no se, “Twa bra Makedonia bɛboa yɛn!”
And a vision appered to Paul in ye nyght. There stode a man of Macedonia and prayed him sayinge: come into Macedonia and helpe vs.
10 Anisoadehu yi akyi no, yɛboaboaa yɛn ho sɛ yɛbɛkɔ Makedonia, efisɛ yɛtee ase sɛ Onyankopɔn na wafrɛ yɛn sɛ yɛnkɔka asɛmpa no wɔ hɔ.
After he had sene ye vision immediatly we prepared to goo into Macedonia certified yt the lorde had called vs for to preache the gospell vnto them.
11 Yɛde hyɛn fii Troa kɔɔ Samotrake na ade kyee no, yeduu Neapoli.
Then lowsed we forth from Troada and with a strayght course came to Samothracia and the nexte daye to Neapolim
12 Yefi hɔ no, yɛtoaa so kɔɔ Filipi, kurow titiriw a ɛwɔ Makedonia mansin a na Romafo di so no mu. Yedii nna kakra wɔ saa kurow yi mu.
and from thence to Philippos which is the chefest citie in ye partes of Macedonia and a fre cite. We were in that cite abydynge a certayne dayes.
13 Homeda duu no, yefii kurow no mu kɔɔ asubɔnten bi ho baabi a yɛate sɛ Yudafo taa hyia wɔ hɔ bɔ mpae. Yɛkyerɛkyerɛɛ mmea bi a wɔbaa hɔ no Kyerɛwsɛm no.
And on the saboth dayes we went out of the cite besydes a ryver where men were wont to praye and we sate doune and spake vnto the wemen which resorted thyther.
14 Mmea a wobetiee asɛm no mu baako ne Tiatirani Lidia a na ɔtɔn ntama kɔkɔɔ. Na ɔyɛ Onyamesomni nti Awurade buee ne koma mu ma otiee asɛm a na Paulo reka no ma ogye dii.
And a certayne woman named Lydia a seller of purple of the cite of Thiatira which worshipped God gave vs audience. Whose hert the Lorde opened that she attended vnto the thinges which Paul spake.
15 Wɔbɔɔ ɔne ne fifo nyinaa asu wiee no, ɔka kyerɛɛ yɛn se, “Sɛ mugye to mu sɛ meyɛ Awurade mu gyidini ampa ara a, ɛno de mommɛtena me fi.” Ɔkɔɔ so srɛɛ yɛn ara kosii sɛ yɛpenee.
When she was baptised and her housholde she besought vs sayinge: Yf ye thinke that I beleve on the Lorde come into my housse and abyde there. And she constrayned vs.
16 Da bi a yɛrekɔ faako a yehyia bɔ mpae no, yehyiaa afenaa bi a akɔm honhom wɔ ne mu a ɔde nʼakɔm no hyɛ nkɔm ma ne wuranom nya wɔn ho.
And it fortuned as we went to prayer a certayn damsell possessed with a sprete that prophesied met vs which brought her master and mastres moche vauntage with prophesyinge.
17 Odii yɛne Paulo akyi teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Saa nnipa yi yɛ Ɔsorosoroni Nyankopɔn no asomfo a wɔaba sɛ wɔrebɛka nkwagye ho asɛm akyerɛ mo.”
The same folowed Paul and vs and cryed sayinge: these men are the servauntes of the most hye God which shewe vnto vs the waye of salvacion.
18 Eyi kɔɔ so ara kosii sɛ da bi Paulo de ahometew teɛteɛɛ honhommɔne no se, “Mehyɛ wo wɔ Yesu Kristo din mu se, tu fi ne mu kɔ!” Amono mu hɔ ara, na honhommɔne no tu fii afenaa no mu.
And this dyd she many dayes. But Paul not cotent turned about and sayd to the sprete: I commaunde the in the name of Iesu Christ that thou come out of her. And he came out the same houre.
19 Bere a afenaa no wuranom huu sɛ nea ɛma wɔn sika no afi wɔn nsa no, wɔkyeree Paulo ne Silas twee wɔn kɔɔ mpanyimfo anim wɔ aguabɔbea.
And when her master and mastres sawe yt the hope of their gaynes was gone they caught Paul and Sylas and drue the into the market place vnto the rulars
20 Wɔde wɔn brɛɛ mpanyin bɔɔ wɔn sobo se, “Saa nnipa yi yɛ Yudafo a wɔde wɔn nneyɛe ne wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ redan yɛn kurow yi ani.
and brought them to the officers sayinge: These men trouble oure cite which are Iewes
21 Wɔrekyerɛkyerɛ amanne bi a esiane sɛ yɛyɛ Romafo nti, yɛn mmara mma yɛn ho kwan sɛ yegye to mu.”
and preache ordinaunces which are not laufull for vs to receave nether to observe seinge we are Romayns.
22 Nnipadɔm a wɔwɔ hɔ no tow hyɛɛ wɔn so, na mpanyin no tetew Paulo ne Silas ntade mu, hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmmɔ wɔn mmaa.
And the people ranne on them and the officers rent their clothes and comaunded them to be beaten with roddes.
23 Wɔbɔɔ wɔn mmaa pii wiei no, wɔde wɔn koguu afiase, na mpanyin no hyɛɛ afiase sohwɛfo no sɛ ɔnto wɔn mu yiye sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔrenguan.
And when they had beaten them sore they cast them into preson comaundynge the iayler to kepe them surely.
24 Afiase sohwɛfo no tee saa asɛm no, ɔde wɔn koguu afiase hɔ dan a ɛwɔ mfimfini no mu de nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn guguu wɔn anan de bobɔɔ nnua mu.
Which iayler when he had receaved suche comaundment thrust them into the ynner preson and made their fete fast in the stockes.
25 Ɔdasu mu no, na Paulo ne Silas rebɔ mpae to nnwom reyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ, a nneduafo a wɔwɔ hɔ no nso retie wɔn.
At mydnyght Paul and Sylas prayed and lauded God. And the presoners hearde them.
26 Mpofirim na asase wosow denneennen maa afiase no nnyinaso nso wosow maa apon no nyinaa buebuei, na nneduafo no nyinaa nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn tetewee.
And sodenly ther was a greate erth quake so that ye fonndacion of the preson was shaken and by and by all the dores opened and every mannes bondes were lowsed.
27 Bere a afiase sohwɛfo no fi nna mu nyan na ohuu sɛ afiase no apon no abuebue no, osusuw sɛ nneduafo no nyinaa aguan, enti ɔtwee nʼafoa, pɛɛ sɛ anka ɔde kum ne ho.
When the keper of ye preson waked out of his slepe and sawe the preson dores open he drue out his swearde and wolde have kylled him selfe supposynge the presoners had bene fledde.
28 Nanso Paulo teɛɛ mu ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nkum wo ho! Yɛn nyinaa wɔ ha!”
But Paul cryed with a lowde voyce sayinge: Do thy selfe no harme for we are all heare.
29 Ɛhɔ ara afiase sohwɛfo no frɛ ma wɔde kanea brɛɛ no na ɔde ahopopo ne osuro bɛhwee Paulo ne Silas anim.
Then he called for a lyght and sprange in and came tremblynge and fell doune before Paul and Sylas
30 Afei ɔde wɔn fii adi bisaa wɔn se, “Awuranom, dɛn na menyɛ na manya nkwa?”
and brought them out and sayde: Syrs what must I do to be saved?
31 Wobuae se, “Gye Awurade Yesu di na obegye wo ne wo fifo nyinaa nkwa.”
And they sayde: beleve on the Lorde Iesus and thou shalt be saved and thy housholde.
32 Wɔkaa Awurade ho asɛm kyerɛɛ afiase sohwɛfo no ne ne fifo nyinaa.
And they preached vnto him the worde of the Lorde and to all that were in his housse.
33 Anadwo no ara, afiase sohwɛfo yi hohoroo Paulo ne Silas mmaabɔ akuru no anim. Afei ɔma wɔbɔɔ ɔne ne fifo nyinaa asu.
And he toke them the same houre of the nyght and wasshed their woundes and was baptised with all that belonged vnto him strayght waye.
34 Afiase sohwɛfo yi de Paulo ne Silas kɔɔ fie kɔmaa wɔn aduan dii na ɔne ne fifo nyinaa ho san wɔn, efisɛ afei de, wɔagye Onyankopɔn adi.
Whe he had brought them into his housse he set meate before them and ioyed that he with all his housholde boleved on God.
35 Ade kyee no, mpanyin no somaa asraafo kɔka kyerɛɛ afiase sohwɛfo no se, “Gyaa saa nnipa no ma wɔnkɔ.”
And when it was daye the officers sent the ministres sayinge: Let those men goo.
36 Afiase sohwɛfo no ka kyerɛɛ Paulo se, “Mpanyin no asoma abɛka se minnyaa wo ne Silas ma monkɔ. Enti monkɔ asomdwoe mu.”
The keper of ye preson tolde this sayinge to Paul the officiers have sent worde to lowse you. Now therfore get you hence and goo in peace.
37 Nanso Paulo ka kyerɛɛ asraafo no se, “Yɛyɛ Romafo. Wɔammu yɛn fɔ wɔ bɔne biara ho na wɔde yɛn baa aguabɔbea bɛbɔɔ yɛn mmaa, de yɛn guu afiase. Afei na wɔpɛ sɛ wɔfa sum ase gyaa yɛn? Dabi da! Mpanyin no ankasa mmra ha mmegyaa yɛn.”
Then sayde Paul vnto them: they have beaten vs openly vncomdempned for all yt we are Romayns and have cast vs into preson: and now wolde they sende vs awaye prevely? Naye not so but let them come the selves and set vs out.
38 Asraafo no san kɔbɔɔ Roma mpanyimfo no amanneɛ. Wɔtee sɛ Paulo ne Silas yɛ Romafo no, wosuroe
When the ministres tolde these wordes vnto the officers they feared when they hearde that they were Romayns
39 enti wɔkɔmaa wɔn dibem, yii wɔn fii afiase hɔ ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se womfi kurow no mu.
and came and besought them and brought them out and desyred them to departe out of the cite.
40 Paulo ne Silas fii afiase hɔ kɔɔ Lidia fi. Wɔkɔtoo anuanom no wɔ hɔ, hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran. Afei wofii hɔ kɔe.
And they wet out of ye preson and entred into the housse of Lidia and whe they had sene the brethren they comforted them and departed.
