4 Metaa nnipa a wodi Awurade asɛm so no nyinaa kunkum wɔn. Mekyeree mmea ne mmarima de wɔn guu afiase.
And Y pursuede this weie til to the deth, byndynge and bitakinge `in to holdis men and wymmen,
5 Ɔsɔfopanyin ne agyinatufo no nyinaa di me adanse sɛ, asɛm a mereka yi yɛ nokware. Wɔn nkyɛn mpo na migyee tumi nhoma sɛ mede rekɔma anuanom Yudafo a wɔwɔ Damasko no.

as the prince of prestis yeldith witnessyng to me, and alle the grettest in birth. Of whom also Y took pistlis to britheren, and wente to Damask, to bring fro thennys men boundun in to Jerusalem, that thei schulden be peyned.
6 “Owigyinae a mereyɛ adu Damasko no, mpofirim na hann bi twa faa me ho.
And it was don, while Y yede, and neiyede to Damask, at myddai sudeynli fro heuene a greet plente of liyt schoon aboute me.
7 Mitwa hwee fam, na metee nne bi a ɛrebisa me se, ‘Saulo! Saulo! Adɛn nti na wotaa me?’
And Y felde doun to the erthe, and herde a voice fro heuene, seiynge to me, Saul, Saul, what pursuest thou me? It is hard to thee to kike ayens the pricke.
8 “Mibisae se, ‘Ɛyɛ wo hena, Awurade?’ “Nne no buaa me se, ‘Ɛyɛ me Nasareni Yesu a wotaa me no.’
And Y answeride, Who art thou, Lord? And he seide to me, Y am Jhesu of Nazareth, whom thou pursuest.
9 Nnipa a na wɔne me nam no huu hann no de, nanso wɔante nne a ɛkasa kyerɛɛ me no.
And thei that weren with me sien but the liyt, but thei herden not the vois of hym, that spak with me.
10 “Mibisae se, ‘Dɛn na menyɛ, Awurade?’ “Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Sɔre na kɔ Damasko, na hɔ na mɛkyerɛ wo biribiara a mepɛ sɛ woyɛ.’
And Y seide, Lord, what schal Y do? And the Lord seide to me, Rise thou, and go to Damask; and there it schal be seid to thee, of alle thingis which it bihoueth thee to do.
11 Hann no hyerɛn ano den no maa mʼani furae enti nnipa a na me ne wɔn rekɔ no susoo me nsa de me kɔɔ Damasko.
And whanne Y saye not, for the clerete of that liyt, Y was led bi the hond of felowis, and Y cam to Damask.
12 “Na Onipa bi a wɔfrɛ no Anania a odi Mose mmara so a na Yudafo nyinaa di no ni no te Damasko hɔ.
And a man, Ananye, that bi the lawe hadde wytnessyng of alle Jewis dwellinge in Damask,
13 Ɔbaa me nkyɛn bɛkae se, ‘Onua Saulo, hu ade bio!’” Na hɔ ara mʼani buei.
cam to me, and stood niy, and seide to me, Saul, brother, biholde. And Y in the same our biheelde in to hym.
14 “Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Yɛn nenanom Nyankopɔn ayi wo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobɛyɛ nʼapɛde na woahu ɔtreneeni no, na wobɛte nʼankasa ne nne sɛ ɛkasa kyerɛ wo.
And he seide, God of oure fadris hath bifor ordeyned thee, that thou schuldist knowe the wille of him, and schuldist se the riytful man, and here the vois of his mouth.
15 Wubedi adanse afa biribiara a woahu na woate wɔ Awurade ho no akyerɛ nnipa nyinaa.
For thou schalt be his witnesse to alle men, of tho thingis that thou hast seyn and herd.
16 Afei, dɛn na woretwɛn bio? Sɔre na ma wɔmmɔ wo asu nhohoro wo bɔne wɔ Yesu din mu.’
And now, what dwellist thou? Rise vp, and be baptisid, and waische awei thi synnes, bi the name of hym clepid to help.
17 “Mesan kɔɔ Yerusalem na merebɔ mpae wɔ asɔredan mu no,
And it was don to me, as Y turnede ayen in to Jerusalem, and preyede in the temple, that Y was maad in rauysching of soule,
18 mihuu Awurade wɔ anisoadehu mu na ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Yɛ ntɛm fi Yerusalem ha, efisɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ ha no rentie adanse a wudi fa me ho no.’
and Y siy him seiynge to me, Hiye thou, and go out faste of Jerusalem, for thei schulen not resseyue thi witnessing of me.
19 “Mekae se, ‘Awurade, wɔn nyinaa nim pefee sɛ mekɔɔ hyiadan mu kɔkyekyeree asuafo boroo wɔn.
And Y seide, Lord, thei witen, that Y was closing togidir `in to prisoun, and betinge bi synagogis hem that bileueden `in to thee.
20 Saa ara na bere a wokum wo dansefo Stefano no, na mewɔ hɔ bi. Mepenee ne kum no so, hwɛɛ awudifo no ntama so.’
And whanne the blood of Steuene, thi witnesse, was sched out, Y stood niy, and consentide, and kept the clothis of men that slowen hym.
21 “Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Sɔre na kɔ, efisɛ mɛsoma wo akɔ akyirikyiri, amanamanmufo nkyɛn!’”
And he seide to me, Go thou, for Y schal sende thee fer to naciouns.
22 Bere a Paulo kae se wɔasoma no amanamanmufo nkyɛn pɛ na dɔm no fii ase teɛteɛɛ mu dennen se, “Munkum no! Ɔmfata sɛ ɔtena wiase!”
And thei herden him til this word; and thei reiseden her vois, and seiden, Take awei fro the erthe siche a maner man; for it is not leueful, that he lyue.
23 Nnipa no kɔɔ so teɛteɛɛ mu, hugyaa wɔn ntama saw mfutuma tow petee wim.
And whanne thei crieden, and kesten awei her clothis, and threwen dust in to the eir,
24 Roma sahene no hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmfa Paulo nkɔ aban mu nkɔbɔ no mmaa sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛka nea enti a nnipa no nyinaa mpɛ sɛ wotie nʼasɛm no.
the tribune comaundide hym to be led in to castels, and to be betun with scourgis, and to be turmentid, that he wiste, for what cause thei crieden so to him.
25 Bere a wɔkyekyeree no wiee a wɔrebɛbɔ no mmaa no, Paulo bisaa ɔsraani panyin a na ogyina hɔ no se, “Mowɔ ho kwan sɛ mobɔ Romani a wonnii nʼasɛm mmuu no fɔ no mmaa ana?”
And whanne thei hadden boundun hym with cordis, Poul seide to a centurien stondinge niy to hym, Whether it is leueful to you, to scourge a Romayn, and vndampned?
26 Bere a ɔsraani panyin no tee saa asɛm no, ɔkɔɔ ɔsahene no nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Dɛn na wopɛ sɛ woyɛ yi? Onipa no yɛ Romani!”
And whanne this thing was herd, the centurien wente to the tribune, and telde to hym, and seide, What art thou to doynge? for this man is a citeseyn of Rome.
27 Afei ɔsahene no kɔɔ Paulo nkyɛn kobisaa no se, “Woyɛ Romani ana?” Paulo buaa no se, “Yiw meyɛ Romani.”
And the tribune cam niy, and seide to hym, Seie thou to me, whether thou art a Romayn?
28 Ɔsahene no kae se, “Mituaa sika bebree na mede tɔɔ me Roma maniyɛ.” Paulo nso kae se, “Me de, wɔwoo me sɛ Romani.”
And he seide, Yhe. And the tribune answeride, Y with myche summe gat this fredom. And Poul seide, And Y was borun a citeseyn of Rome.
29 Ntɛm ara, nnipa a na wɔrebebisa Paulo nsɛm no twee wɔn ho fii ne nkyɛn. Ɔsafohene no tee sɛ Paulo yɛ Romani no, osuroe sɛ wama wɔagu Paulo nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn.
Therfor anoon thei that schulden haue turmentid hym, departiden awei fro hym. And the tribune dredde, aftir that he wiste, that he was a citeseyn of Rome, and for he hadde boundun hym.
30 Esiane sɛ na ɔsafohene no pɛ sɛ ohu nea enti a Yudafo no asɔre atia Paulo no nti, ade kyee no, ɔhyɛ ma woyii Paulo fii nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mu. Ɔmaa asɔfo mpanyin ne agyinatufo no nyinaa hyiae. Afei ɔde Paulo kɔɔ se wɔnhwehwɛ nʼasɛm no mu.
But in the dai suynge he wolde wite more diligentli, for what cause he were accusid of the Jewis, and vnbounde hym, and comaundide prestis and al the counsel to come togidir. And he brouyte forth Poul, and sette hym among hem.
