2 Amono mu hɔ ara, nne bi te sɛ ahum a ɛretu fi ɔsoro ba bɛhyɛɛ ofi a na wɔwɔ mu no ma.
And suddenly there came a sounde from heauen, as of a russhing and mightie winde, and it filled all the house where they sate.
3 Ogya a ɛredɛw a ɛte sɛ tɛkrɛma besisii wɔn so mmaako mmaako.
And there appeared vnto them clouen tongues, like fire, and it sate vpon eche of them.
4 Honhom Kronkron no hyɛɛ wɔn nyinaa ma, na wɔkaa kasa foforo, sɛnea Honhom no maa wɔn ho kwan no.
And they were all filled with the holy Ghost, and began to speake with other tongues, as the Spirit gaue them vtterance.
5 Saa bere no na Yudafo bi a wɔfɛre Nyame fi mmeaemmeae aba Yerusalem.
And there were dwelling at Hierusalem Iewes, men that feared God, of euery nation vnder heauen.
6 Wɔtee nea ɛrekɔ so no, wɔbɔɔ twi behyiae, na ɛyɛɛ wɔn nwonwa ne ahodwiriw, efisɛ obiara tee sɛ wɔreka ne kurom kasa.
Nowe when this was noised, the multitude came together and were astonied, because that euery man heard them speake his owne language.
7 Enti wobisae se, “Na saa nnipa yi a wɔrekasa yi nyɛ Galileafo ana?
And they wondered al, and marueiled, saying among themselues, Beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galile?
8 Na adɛn nti na yɛte sɛ wɔreka Onyankopɔn anwonwadwuma ho asɛm wɔ yɛn a yɛyɛ
How then heare we euery man our owne language, wherein we were borne?
9 Partifo, Mediafo ne Elamfo, ne wɔn a wɔte Mesopotamia ne Yudea ne Kapadokia, Ponto, Asia,
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, and of Iudea, and of Cappadocia, of Pontus, and Asia,

And of Phrygia, and Pamphylia, of Egypt, and of the partes of Libya, which is beside Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, and Iewes, and Proselytes,
11 ne Kretafo ne Arabfo mu biara kasa mu yi?”
Creetes, and Arabians: wee hearde them speake in our owne tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 Wɔde ahodwiriw bisae se, “Eyi ase ne dɛn?”
They were all then amased, and douted, saying one to another, What may this be?
13 Afoforo nso dii wɔn ho fɛw se, “Saa nnipa yi abobow nsa.”
And others mocked, and saide, They are full of newe wine.
14 Petro ne asomafo dubaako no sɔre gyinaa hɔ na ɔkasaa denneennen kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Me nuanom Yudafo ne mo a mote Yerusalem nyinaa, muntie asɛm a mereka yi.
But Peter standing with ye Eleuen, lift vp his voice, and said vnto them, Ye men of Iudea, and ye all that inhabite Hierusalem, be this knowen vnto you, and hearken vnto my woordes.
15 Saa nnipa yi mmow nsa sɛnea mususuw no, efisɛ ade nnya nkyee a ɛsɛ sɛ obi nom nsa bow.
For these are not drunken, as yee suppose, since it is but the third houre of the day.
16 Asɛm a asi yi na odiyifo Yoel hyɛɛ ho nkɔm se:
But this is that, which was spoken by the Prophet Ioel,
17 “‘Onyankopɔn kae se, nna a edi akyiri no, mehwie me Honhom no agu nnipa nyinaa so. Mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea bɛhyɛ nkɔm, mo mmerante nso ahu anisoade. Na mo mpanyin nso asoso adae.
And it shalbe in the last daies, saith God, I wil powre out of my Spirite vpon al flesh, and your sonnes, and your daughters shall prophecie, and your yong men shall see visions, and your old men shall dreame dreames.
18 Saa mmere no mu no, mehwie me Honhom agu mʼasomfo mpo so, mmarima ne mmea, ama wɔahyɛ nkɔm.
And on my seruauntes, and on mine handmaides I will powre out of my Spirite in those daies, and they shall prophecie.
19 Mede mogya ne ogya ne wusiw kumɔnn bɛyɛ anwonwade ne nsɛnkyerɛnne wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so.
And I wil shew wonders in heauen aboue, and tokens in the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and the vapour of smoke.
20 Ansa na Awurade da kɛse no bɛba no, owia beduru sum na ɔsram nso ayɛ sɛ mogya.
The Sunne shalbe turned into darkenesse, and the moone into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come.
21 Na obiara a ɔbɛbɔ Awurade din no benya nkwa.’
And it shalbe, that whosoeuer shall call on the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued.
22 “Israelfo, muntie! Yesu Nasareni no yɛ ɔbarima bi a ne dwuma kronkron a obedii no daa adi wɔ tumi ne anwonwade ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a Onyankopɔn nam ne so yɛe a mo ankasa di ho adanse no mu.
Yee men of Israel, heare these woordes, JESUS of Nazareth, a man approued of God among you with great workes, and wonders, and signes, which God did by him in the middes of you, as yee your selues also knowe:
23 Onyankopɔn ankasa fi ne pɛ ne ne nhumu mu sii gyinae yii Yesu maa mo, na mode no maa nnebɔneyɛfo ma wɔbɔɔ no asennua mu kum no.
Him, I say, being deliuered by the determinate counsell, and foreknowledge of God, after you had taken, with wicked handes you haue crucified and slaine.
24 Nanso Onyankopɔn nyan no fii owu mu ma oyii no fii owuyaw mu, efisɛ owu antumi anni ne so.”
Whome God hath raised vp, and loosed the sorrowes of death, because it was vnpossible that he should be holden of it.
25 Asɛm a Dawid ka faa ne ho ne sɛ, “Mihu Awurade wɔ mʼani so daa nyinaa. Esiane sɛ ɔwɔ me nsa nifa nti, merenhinhim da.
For Dauid sayeth concerning him, I beheld the Lord alwaies before me: for hee is at my right hand, that I should not be shaken.
26 Ɛno nti me kra ani gye, na me tɛkrɛma di ahurusi. Me nipadua nso bɛhome asomdwoe mu.
Therefore did mine heart reioyce, and my tongue was glad, and moreouer also my flesh shall rest in hope,
Because thou wilt not leaue my soule in graue, neither wilt suffer thine Holy one to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Woakyerɛ me nkwagye kwan; na wobɛma mʼani agye wɔ wʼanim.
Thou hast shewed me the waies of life, and shalt make me full of ioy with thy countenance.
29 “Anuanom, ɛsɛ sɛ meda mʼadwene adi pefee wɔ yɛn panyin Dawid ho. Owui na wosiee no, na ne nna da so wɔ hɔ besi nnɛ.
Men and brethren, I may boldly speake vnto you of the Patriarke Dauid, that hee is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre remaineth with vs vnto this day.
30 Na ɔyɛ odiyifo a onim bɔ bi a Onyankopɔn ahyɛ no no. Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ bɔ se ɔbɛyɛ Dawid asefo no mu baako ɔhene, sɛnea Dawid yɛ ɔhene no ara pɛ.
Therefore, seeing hee was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that of the fruite of his loynes hee woulde raise vp Christ concerning the flesh, to set him vpon his throne,
31 Dawid huu nea Onyankopɔn rebɛyɛ no ɔkasa faa owusɔre a ɛfa Agyenkwa no ho se, ‘Wɔannyaw no awufo mu. Ne honam nso amporɔw.’ (Hadēs g86)
Hee knowing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soule shoulde not bee left in graue, neither his flesh shoulde see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Onyankopɔn anyan saa Yesu yi afi owu mu, na yɛn nyinaa yɛ saa asɛm yi ho nnansefo.
This Iesus hath God raised vp, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Wɔahyɛ no anuonyam de no akɔtena Onyankopɔn nifa so ma ne nsa aka Honhom Kronkron no a Agya no hyɛɛ no ho bɔ no; ɛno na wahwie agu yɛn so, na ɛho nsɛnkyerɛnne na muhu na mote yi.
Since then that he by the right hande of God hath bene exalted, and hath receiued of his Father the promise of the holy Ghost, hee hath shed foorth this which yee nowe see and heare.
34 Dawid ankasa de, wankɔ ɔsoro, na mmom ɔkae se, “‘Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me wura se, “Tena me nsa nifa so ha,
For Dauid is not ascended into heauen, but he sayth, The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hande,
35 kosi sɛ mede wʼatamfo bɛyɛ wʼanan ntiaso.”’
Vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
36 “Ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa hu sɛ, mo na mobɔɔ saa Yesu yi a Onyankopɔn ayɛ no Awurade ne Agyenkwa no asennua mu.”
Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for a suretie, that God hath made him both Lord, and Christ, this Iesus, I say, whome yee haue crucified.
37 Bere a nnipa no tee saa asɛm yi, ɛhaw wɔn yiye. Enti wobisaa Petro ne asomafo a wɔaka no se, “Anuanom, dɛn na yɛnyɛ?”
Now when they heard it, they were pricked in their heartes, and said vnto Peter and the other Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we doe?
38 Petro ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monsakra mo adwene na momma wɔmmɔ mo asu wɔ Yesu Kristo din mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔde mo bɔne bɛkyɛ mo na moanya Onyankopɔn akyɛde a ɛyɛ Honhom Kronkron no.
Then Peter said vnto them, Amend your liues, and bee baptized euery one of you in the Name of Iesus Christ for the remission of sinnes: and ye shall receiue the gift of the holy Ghost.
39 Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ Honhom Kronkron yi ho bɔ maa mo ne mo mma ne wɔn a wɔtete akyirikyiri ne wɔn a Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn bɛfrɛ wɔn aba ne nkyɛn no nyinaa.”
For the promise is made vnto you, and to your children, and to all that are a farre off, euen as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 Petro kaa nsɛm bebree kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munnye mo ho mfi asotwe a ɛreba saa nnebɔneyɛfo yi so no mu.”
And with many other words he besought and exhorted them, saying, Saue your selues from this froward generation.
41 Wɔn mu dodow no ara gyee asɛm no di ma wɔbɔɔ wɔn asu. Saa da no, nnipa bɛyɛ mpensa na wɔbɛkaa agyidifo no ho.
Then they that gladly receiued his word, were baptized: and the same day there were added to the Church about three thousand soules.
42 Daa na wɔde wɔn adagyew nyinaa sua asomafo no nkyerɛkyerɛ. Wɔne wɔn nyaa ayɔnkofa, hyia didi bɔɔ mu ne wɔn bɔɔ mpae.
And they continued in the Apostles doctrine, and fellowship, and breaking of bread, and prayers.
43 Asomafo no yɛɛ anwonwade ahorow bebree ma obiara a ohuu no ho dwiriw no.
And feare came vpon euery soule: and many wonders and signes were done by ye Apostles.
44 Gyidifo no nyinaa kɔɔ so tenaa ase sɛ nnipa koro, na wɔkyekyɛɛ wɔn ahode mu memaa wɔn ho wɔn ho.
And all that beleeued, were in one place, and had all things common.
45 Wɔtɔn wɔn ahode kyekyɛɛ sika a wonya fii mu no maa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛnea ɛho hia obiara.
And they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all me, as euery one had need.
46 Daa na wɔbɔ mu hyia wɔ asɔredan mu de anigye ne koma pa bɔ mu didi wɔ wɔn afi mu. Wɔkamfoo Onyankopɔn, nyaa anuonyam wɔ nnipa anim.
And they continued dayly with one accord in the Temple, and breaking bread at home, did eate their meate together with gladnesse and singlenesse of heart,
47 Da biara na Awurade de wɔn a ogye wɔn nkwa no bɛka wɔn ho.
Praysing God, and had fauour with all the people: and the Lord added to the Church from day to day, such as should be saued.
