Asomafo 2
1 Pentekoste da no duu no, na asuafo no nyinaa ahyia wɔ faako.
And in the day of the Pentecost being fulfilled, they were all with one accord at the same place,
2 Amono mu hɔ ara, nne bi te sɛ ahum a ɛretu fi ɔsoro ba bɛhyɛɛ ofi a na wɔwɔ mu no ma.
and there came suddenly out of the sky a sound as of a violent rushing wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting,
3 Ogya a ɛredɛw a ɛte sɛ tɛkrɛma besisii wɔn so mmaako mmaako.
and there appeared to them divided tongues, as it were of fire; it also sat on each one 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 Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, according as the Spirit was giving them to declare.
5 Saa bere no na Yudafo bi a wɔfɛre Nyame fi mmeaemmeae aba Yerusalem.
And there were Jews dwelling in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation of those under the heaven,
6 Wɔtee nea ɛrekɔ so no, wɔbɔɔ twi behyiae, na ɛyɛɛ wɔn nwonwa ne ahodwiriw, efisɛ obiara tee sɛ wɔreka ne kurom kasa.
and the rumor of this having come, the multitude came together, and was confounded, because they were, each one, hearing them speaking in his proper dialect,
7 Enti wobisae se, “Na saa nnipa yi a wɔrekasa yi nyɛ Galileafo ana?
and they were all amazed, and wondered, saying to one another, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
8 Na adɛn nti na yɛte sɛ wɔreka Onyankopɔn anwonwadwuma ho asɛm wɔ yɛn a yɛyɛ
And how do we hear, each in our proper dialect, in which we were born?
9 Partifo, Mediafo ne Elamfo, ne wɔn a wɔte Mesopotamia ne Yudea ne Kapadokia, Ponto, Asia,
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea also, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia,
10 Frigia ne Pamfilia, Misraim ne Libia fa a ɛbɛn Kirene ne ahɔho a wofi Roma, Yudafo ne wɔn a wɔasakra aba Yudasom mu,
Phrygia also, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya that [are] along Cyrene, and the strangers of Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 ne Kretafo ne Arabfo mu biara kasa mu yi?”
Cretes and Arabians, we heard them speaking the great things of God in our tongues.”
12 Wɔde ahodwiriw bisae se, “Eyi ase ne dɛn?”
And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying to one another, “What would this wish to be?”
13 Afoforo nso dii wɔn ho fɛw se, “Saa nnipa yi abobow nsa.”
And others mocking said, “They are full of sweet 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.
and Peter having stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice and declared to them: “Men—Jews, and all those dwelling in Jerusalem! Let this be known to you, and listen to my sayings,
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 you take it up, for it is the third hour of the day.
16 Asɛm a asi yi na odiyifo Yoel hyɛɛ ho nkɔm se:
But this is that which has been spoken through the prophet Joel:
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 will be in the last days, says God, I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh, And your sons and your daughters will prophesy, And your young men will see visions, And your old men will dream dreams;
18 Saa mmere no mu no, mehwie me Honhom agu mʼasomfo mpo so, mmarima ne mmea, ama wɔahyɛ nkɔm.
And also on My menservants, and on My maidservants, In those days, I will pour out of My Spirit, And they will prophesy;
19 Mede mogya ne ogya ne wusiw kumɔnn bɛyɛ anwonwade ne nsɛnkyerɛnne wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so.
And I will give wonders in the sky above, And signs on the earth beneath—Blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke,
20 Ansa na Awurade da kɛse no bɛba no, owia beduru sum na ɔsram nso ayɛ sɛ mogya.
The sun will be turned to darkness, And the moon to blood, Before the coming of the Day of the LORD—the great and conspicuous;
21 Na obiara a ɔbɛbɔ Awurade din no benya nkwa.’
And it will be, everyone who, if he may have called on the Name of the LORD, will be saved.
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.
Men, Israelites! Hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, that God did through Him in the midst of you, according as also you yourselves have known,
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.
this One, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having been taken by lawless hands, having been crucified—you slew,
24 Nanso Onyankopɔn nyan no fii owu mu ma oyii no fii owuyaw mu, efisɛ owu antumi anni ne so.”
whom God raised up, having loosed the travails of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by 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 David says in regard to Him: I foresaw the LORD always before me—Because He is on my right hand—That I may not be moved;
26 Ɛno nti me kra ani gye, na me tɛkrɛma di ahurusi. Me nipadua nso bɛhome asomdwoe mu.
Because of this was my heart cheered, And my tongue was glad, And yet—my flesh will also rest on hope,
Because You will not leave my soul to Hades, Nor will You give Your Holy One to see corruption; (Hadēs g86)
28 Woakyerɛ me nkwagye kwan; na wobɛma mʼani agye wɔ wʼanim.
You made known to me ways of life, You will fill me with joy with Your 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, brothers! It is permitted to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us to 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, being a prophet, and knowing that God swore to him with an oath, out of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Christ, to sit on 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)
having foreseen, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left to Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Onyankopɔn anyan saa Yesu yi afi owu mu, na yɛn nyinaa yɛ saa asɛm yi ho nnansefo.
God raised up this Jesus, of which we are all 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.
then having been exalted at the right hand of God—also having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father—He poured forth this which you now see and hear;
34 Dawid ankasa de, wankɔ ɔsoro, na mmom ɔkae se, “‘Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me wura se, “Tena me nsa nifa so ha,
for David did not go up into the heavens, and he says himself: The LORD says to my Lord, Sit at My right hand,
35 kosi sɛ mede wʼatamfo bɛyɛ wʼanan ntiaso.”’
Until I make Your enemies Your footstool;
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.”
assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know that God made Him both Lord and Christ—this Jesus whom you 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?”
And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they also say to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, “What will we do, men, brothers?”
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.
And Peter said to them, “Convert, and each of you be immersed on the Name of Jesus Christ, for forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,
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 to you and to your children, and to all those far off, as many as the LORD our God will call.”
40 Petro kaa nsɛm bebree kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munnye mo ho mfi asotwe a ɛreba saa nnebɔneyɛfo yi so no mu.”
Also with many more other words he was testifying and exhorting, saying, “Be saved from this perverse 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 those, indeed, who gladly received his word were immersed, and there were added on that day, as it were, three thousand souls,
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 were continuing steadfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers.
43 Asomafo no yɛɛ anwonwade ahorow bebree ma obiara a ohuu no ho dwiriw no.
And fear came on every soul, also many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles,
44 Gyidifo no nyinaa kɔɔ so tenaa ase sɛ nnipa koro, na wɔkyekyɛɛ wɔn ahode mu memaa wɔn ho wɔn ho.
and all those believing were at the same 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 were selling the possessions and the goods, and were parting them to all, according as anyone 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.
Also continuing daily with one accord in the temple, also breaking bread at every house, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart,
47 Da biara na Awurade de wɔn a ogye wɔn nkwa no bɛka wɔn ho.
praising God, and having favor with all the people, and the LORD was adding those being saved every day to the Assembly.
