2 Ɔkɔɔ Ɔsɔfopanyin no nkyɛn kogyee adansedi krataa a ɛbɛma no tumi ama wakɔ hyiadan mu wɔ Damasko akɔkyekyere Yesu akyidifo, mmea ne mmarima, na ɔde wɔn akɔ Yerusalem.

3 Ɔreyɛ abɛn Damasko no, prɛko pɛ na hann bi fi ɔsoro twa faa ne ho
But as he went on his iorney it fortuned yt he drue nye to Damasco and sodenly ther shyned rounde about him a lyght fro heven.
4 ma otwa hwee fam. Afei, ɔtee nne bi se, “Saulo! Adɛn nti na wotaa me?”
And he fell to ye erth and hearde a voyce sayinge to him: Saul Saul why persecutest thou me?
5 Saulo bisae se, “Ɛyɛ wo hena, Owura?” Nne no buae se, “Ɛyɛ me Yesu a wotaa me no.”
And he sayde what arte thou lorde? And the lorde sayd I am Iesus whom thou persecutest it shalbe harde for ye to kycke agaynst ye pricke.
6 Nne no kae se, “Sɔre na kɔ kurow no mu na wɔbɛkyerɛ wo nea ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ.”
And he bothe tremblynge and astonyed sayde: Lorde what wilt thou have me to do? And ye Lorde sayde vnto him: aryse and goo into the cite and it shalbe tolde the what thou shalt do.
7 Nnipa a wɔne Saulo nam no gyinae a wɔantumi anka hwee; wɔtee nne no, nanso wɔanhu obiara.
The men which iornayed with him stode amased for they herde a voyce but sawe no man.
8 Afei Saulo sɔre fii fam hɔ buee nʼani, nanso na onhu ade. Enti wokurakura no nkakrankakra de no kɔɔ Damasko.
And Saul arose from the erth and opened his eyes but sawe no man. Then ledde they him by the honde and brought him into Damasco.
9 Nnansa a odii wɔ Damasko no na onhu hwee. Na onnidi na ɔnnom nso.
And he was. iii. dayes with out syght and nether ate nor dranke.
10 Na osuani bi wɔ Damasko a wɔfrɛ no Anania. Awurade frɛɛ no anisoadehu mu se, “Anania!” Ogyee so se, “Awurade!”
And ther was a certayne disciple at Damasco named Ananias and to him sayde the lorde in a vision: Ananias. And the he sayde: beholde I am here lorde.
11 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ Yuda fi a ɛwɔ Ɔtempɔn Tee no so na kobisa ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Saulo a ofi Tarso no ase; ɔrebɔ mpae.
And the lorde sayde to him: aryse and goo into the strete which is called strayght and seke in the housse of Iudas after one called Saul of Tharsus. For beholde he prayeth
12 Anisoadehu mu na ohuu ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Anania a ɔde ne nsa too no so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛsan ahu ade.”
and hath sene in a vision a man named Ananias comynge in to him and puttynge his hondes on him that he myght receave his syght.
13 Anania buae se, “Awurade, mate saa ɔbarima yi ho nsɛm bebree, ne haw a ɔhaw wʼakyidifo wɔ Yerusalem no.
Then Ananias answered: Lorde I have hearde by many of this man how moche evell he hath done to thy sainctes at Ierusalem
14 Wakɔ asɔfo mpanyin nkyɛn akogye adansedi krataa a ɛbɛma no tumi na ɔde akyere obiara a ɔbɔ wo din wɔ ha no.”
and here he hath auctorite of the hye prestes to bynde all that call on thy name.
15 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Anania se, “Kɔ! Efisɛ ɔno na mayi no a menam ne so bɛma amanamanmufo ne ahemfo ne Israelfo nyinaa ate me din.
The lorde sayde vnto him: Goo thy wayes: for he is a chosen vessell vnto me to beare my name before the gentyls and kynges and the chyldren of Israel.
16 Na mɛkyerɛ no amane a esiane me din nti obehu.”
For I will shewe him how great thinges he must suffre for my names sake.
17 Afei Anania kɔɔ fie hɔ de ne nsa guu Saulo so kae se, “Onua Saulo, Awurade Yesu no ankasa a oyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ wo wɔ ɔkwan so bere a woreba no asoma me se, mimmebue wʼani mma wunhu ade na Honhom Kronkron nhyɛ wo ma.”
Ananias went his waye and entryd into ye housse and put his hondes on him and sayde: brother Saul the lorde that apperyd vnto the in the waye as thou camst hath sent me that thou myghtest receave thy syght and be filled with the holy goost.
18 Amono mu hɔ ara na biribi a ɛte sɛ abon fii nʼani so na ohuu ade. Ɔsɔre ma wɔbɔɔ no asu.
And immediatly ther fell from his eyes as it had bene scales and he receaved syght and arose and was baptised
19 Onyaa aduan bi di mee no, ne ho san no. Saulo dii nna kakra wɔ asuafo a na wɔwɔ Damasko no nkyɛn.
and receaved meate and was comforted. Then was Saul a certayne daye wt the disciples which were at Damasco.
20 Ofii ase kaa asɛmpa no wɔ hyiadan mu se, Yesu yɛ Onyankopɔn Ba ampa.
And streyght waye he preached Christ in the synagoges how that he was the sonne of God.
21 Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm a ɔkae no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn ma wobisae se, “Ɛnyɛ saa ɔbarima yi na na okum wɔn a wɔbɔ saa din yi wɔ Yerusalem no ana? Na yɛate sɛ ɔbaa ha sɛ ɔrebɛkyere wɔn a wɔbɔ saa din yi nyinaa de wɔn akɔma asɔfo mpanyin.”
All that hearde him were amased and sayde: is not this he that spoyled the which called on this name in Ierusalem and came hyther for ye entent that he shuld bringe the bounde vnto the hye prestes?
22 Saulo asɛnka no mu yɛɛ den; nnipa no gyee nsɛm a ɔka faa Yesu ho sɛ ɔno ne Agyenkwa no dii. Yudafo a wɔte Damasko no antumi anka nsɛm a ɔkae no ho hwee.
But Saul encreased in stregth and confounded the Iewes which dwelte at Damasco affirminge that this was very Christ.
23 Nna bi akyi no, Yudafo no bɔɔ Saulo ho pɔw sɛ wobekum no,
And after a good whyle ye Iewes toke counsell to gether to kyll him.
24 nanso Saulo tee pɔw a wɔbɔɔ wɔ ne ho no. Na wɔtetɛw no wɔ kurow no apon ano awia ne anadwo apɛ no akum no.
But their layinge awayte was knowen of Saul. And they watched at the gates daye and nyght to kyll him.
25 Anadwo bi Saulo akyidifo de no sii kɛntɛn bi mu, twetwee no faa ɔfasu so gyaa no sii fam.
Then ye disciples toke him by night and put him thorow the wall and let him doune in a basket.
26 Saulo kɔɔ Yerusalem no, ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔde ne ho kɔbɔ asuafo no ho nanso wosuroo no, efisɛ na wonnye nni sɛ wasakra abɛyɛ osuani.
And when Saul was come to Ierusalem he assayde to cople him silfe with ye discyples and they were all afrayde of hym and beleued not that he was a disciple.
27 Barnaba kɔfaa no kɔɔ asuafo no nkyɛn. Ɔkaa wɔn sɛnea Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Saulo na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ no wɔ Damasko kwan so no ne sɛnea ɔde akokoduru kaa Yesu ho asɛm wɔ Damasko no.
But Bernabas toke hym and brought hym to ye apostles and declared to the how he had sene ye Lorde in ye waye and had spoke wyth hym: and how he had done boldely at damasco in the name of Iesu.
28 Saulo ne wɔn tenae na ɔde akokoduru kaa Awurade asɛm no wɔ Yerusalem nyinaa.
And he had his conuersacion with them at Ierusalem
29 Saulo ne Helenifo nyaa akasakasa enti wɔbɔɔ pɔw sɛ wobekum no.
and quit hym silfe boldly in the name of the lorde Iesu. And he spake and disputed wyth the grekes: and they went aboute to slee hym.
30 Bere a agyidifo no tee pɔw a Helenifo no bɔɔ wɔ Saulo ho no, wɔde no kɔɔ Kaesarea gyaa no kwan ma ɔkɔɔ Tarso.
But when the brethren knew of that they brought hym to cesarea and sent hym forth to Tharsus.
31 Afei asafo a wɔwɔ Yudea, Samaria ne Galilea no nyinaa asom dwoo wɔn. Asafo no nam Honhom Kronkron so timii. Nnipa pii bɛkaa wɔn ho na wɔtenaa ase wɔ Awurade suro mu.
Then had ye congregacios rest thorowoute all Iewry and galile and Samary and were edified and walked in the feare of the lorde and multiplied by the comforte of the holy gost.
32 Petro tutuu akwan kɔɔ mmeaemmeae. Da bi a ɔkɔsraa agyidifo a wɔwɔ Lida no,
And it chaunsed yt as Peter walked throughoute all quarters he ca to ye saynctes which dwelt at Lydda
33 ohyiaa ɔbarima bi a ne din de Enea a wabubu agu kɛtɛ so mfe awotwe wɔ hɔ.
and there he foude a certayne ma namyd Eneas whych had kepte hys bed viii. yere sicke of the palsie.
34 Petro ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Enea, Awurade Yesu Kristo nsa wo yare. Sɔre na yi wo kɛtɛ!” Amono mu hɔ ara na Enea sɔree.
Then sayde Peter vnto hym: Eneas Iesus Christ make ye whole. Aryse and make thy beed. And he arose immedyatly.
35 Nnipa a wɔte Lida ne Saron no nyinaa huu no no, wɔde wɔn ho maa Awurade.
And all that dwelt at lydda and assaron sawe hym and tourned to the lorde.
36 Na ɔbea ogyidini bi te Yopa a ne din de Tabita a ne nkyerɛase ne Dorka a ase ne ɔwansan. Saa ɔbea yi de nʼadagyew nyinaa yɛɛ papa, boaa ahiafo.
Ther was at Ioppe a certayne woma (whiche was a disciple named Tabitha which by interpretacion is called dorcas) the same was full of good workes and almes dedes which she did.
37 Saa bere koro no ara mu na ɔyare bɔɔ no ma owui. Woguaree no de no kɔtoo abansoro dan bi mu.
And it chaunsed in those dayes that she was sicke and dyed. When they had wesshed her and layd her in a chamber:
38 Esiane sɛ Lida bɛn Yopa nti, asuafo a wɔwɔ Yopa no tee sɛ Petro wɔ Lida no, wɔsomaa mmarima baanu kɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ ntɛm mmra.
Because Lydda was nye to Ioppa and the disciples had hearde that Peter was there they sent vnto hym desyrynge him that he wolde not be greved to come vnto them.
39 Petro yɛɛ ntɛm ne wɔn kɔe. Oduu hɔ no wɔde no kɔɔ abansoro dan no mu. Akunafo a na wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa begyinagyinaa Petro ho sui, de ntade ne ntama a Tabita te ase no ɔpam maa wɔn no kyerɛɛ no.
Peter arose and came with them and when he was come they brought him in to ye chamber. And all ye wydowes stode roude aboute hym wepynge and shewynge the cotes and garmentes which Dorcas made whill she was with the.
40 Petro maa wɔn nyinaa fii adi. Afei obuu nkotodwe, bɔɔ mpae dan nʼani kyerɛɛ amu no kae se, “Tabita, sɔre!” Tabita tew nʼani na ohuu Petro no, ɔsɔre tenaa ase.
And Peter put the all forth and kneled doune and prayde and turned him to ye body and sayde: Tabitha aryse. And she opened her eyes and whe she sawe Peter she sat vp.
41 Petro soo ne nsa ma ɔsɔre gyinaa hɔ. Afei Petro frɛɛ agyidifo no ne akunafo no nyinaa de no maa wɔn.
And he gave her ye honde and lyft her up and called the sainctes and wydowes and shewed her alyve.
42 Saa asɛm yi trɛw wɔ Yopa nyinaa ma nnipa pii gyee Awurade dii.
And it was knowne throwout all Ioppa and many beleved on the Lorde.
43 Petro tenaa Simon a ɔhyɛ mmoa nhoma aduru no nkyɛn wɔ Yopa kyɛɛ kakra.
And it fortuned that he taryed many dayes in Ioppa with one Simon a tanner.
