Asomafoɔ 14
1 Paulo ne Barnaba duruu Ikoniom no, wɔkɔɔ Yudafoɔ asɔredan mu. Wɔkasa ma Yudafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ bebree bɛyɛɛ agyidifoɔ.
And they came and entered into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke with them, that many of the Jews and of the Greeks believed.
2 Nanso, Yudafoɔ a wɔpoo Awurade asɛm no hwanyan amanamanmufoɔ no, sane tuu wɔn aso tiaa anuanom no.
But Jews of the class of unbelievers, excited the Gentiles, to maltreat the brethren.
3 Asomafoɔ no tenaa hɔ kyɛreeɛ. Na Awurade nam tumi a ɔde maa wɔn ma wɔyɛɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ no so kyerɛɛ sɛ nsɛm a wɔka fa nʼadom ho no yɛ nokorɛ.
And they continued there a long time, and spoke openly concerning the Lord; and he gave testimony to the word of his grace, by the signs and prodigies which he wrought by their hands.
4 Kuro no mu nnipa no mu kyɛɛ mmienu; ɛfa kɔɔ Yudafoɔ no afa na ɛfa nso kɔɔ asomafoɔ no afa.
And the whole multitude of the city was divided; and a part were with the Jews, and a part adhered to the legates.
5 Amanamanmufoɔ ne Yudafoɔ no ne wɔn mpanimfoɔ yɛɛ adwene sɛ wɔbɛyɛ wɔn ayayadeɛ, asane asi wɔn aboɔ.
And an assault was made on them, by the Gentiles, and by the Jews and their chiefs, to insult them, and to stone them with stones.
6 Asomafoɔ no tee pɔ a wɔbɔ faa wɔn ho no, wɔdwane kɔɔ Listra ne Derbe a ɛwɔ Likaoniaman mu ne nkuraa a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa ase.
And when they knew it, they departed and fled to the cities of Lycaonia and Lystra and Derbe, and to the villages around them;
7 Wɔkaa Asɛmpa no wɔ hɔ.
and there they preached.
8 Ɛberɛ a Paulo ne Barnaba wɔ Listra no, wɔhunuu ɔbarima bi a na ɔyɛ obubuafoɔ firi nʼawoɔ mu.
And a certain man dwelt in the city Lystra, who was afflicted in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked.
9 Paulo rekasa no, obubuafoɔ no tiee no maa Paulo hunuu sɛ ɔwɔ gyidie a ɛbɛma watumi agyina so asa no yadeɛ. Enti Paulo hwɛɛ obubuafoɔ no
He heard Paul speak: and when Paul saw him, and knew that he had faith to live;
10 teaam sɛ, “Sɔre gyina hɔ!” Amonom, obubuafoɔ yi huri gyinaeɛ, hyɛɛ aseɛ nanteeɛ.
he said to him, with a loud voice: In the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, I say to thee, Rise upon thy feet. And he sprang up, stood, and walked.
11 Nnipa no hunuu deɛ Paulo ayɛ no, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ teateaam wɔ Likaonia kasa mu sɛ, “Anyame ayeyɛ wɔn ho sɛ nnipa aba yɛn nkyɛn.”
And the assembly of people, when they saw what Paul had done, raised their voice, and said, in the language of the country: The gods have assumed the likeness of men, and have come down to us.
12 Yei enti wɔfrɛɛ Barnaba Seus ɛnna wɔfrɛɛ Paulo nso Hermes, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na na ɔka asɛm no.
And they named Barnabas the Lord of the Gods; and Paul Hermes, because he commenced the speaking.
13 Seus a na nʼasɔredan wɔ kurotia no ɔsɔfoɔ de nantwie ne nhwiren baa kuro no ɛpono ano, pɛɛ sɛ wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ma asomafoɔ no.
And the priest of the Lord of the Gods, who was without the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gate of the court where they lodged, and was disposed to offer sacrifices to them.
14 Ɛberɛ a Barnaba ne Paulo tee afɔdeɛ a nnipa no pɛ sɛ wɔbɔ no, wɔde abufuo sunsuanee wɔn ntadeɛ mu, tuu mmirika kɔɔ nnipakuo no mu teateaam sɛ,
But Barnabas and Paul, when they heard it, rent their garments, and sprang and went among the throng,
15 “Ɛdeɛn na mopɛ sɛ moyɛ yi? Yɛyɛ nnipa te sɛ mo! Yɛaba sɛ yɛrebɛka asɛmpa no akyerɛ mo, ama moagyae saa nneɛma hunu yi yɛ, na mode mo ho ama Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro, asase, ɛpo ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu.
and called out, and said: Men, what do ye? We also are frail mortals like yourselves, who preach to you, that ye should turn from these useless things, unto the living God, who made heaven and earth and seas, and whatever is in them.
16 Ɛberɛ bi a atwa mu no, ɔmaa nnipa nyinaa kwan maa wɔyɛɛ deɛ wɔpɛ.
He, in former ages, left all the nations to go in their own ways:
17 Nanso, Onyankopɔn nam nneɛma pa a ɔyɛ so di nʼankasa ho adanseɛ. Mmerɛ a ɛsɛ mu no, ɔma osuo tɔ, ma nnɔbaeɛ ba; ɔma mo aduane di, ma monya ahotɔ.”
although he did not leave himself without testimony, while he did them good from heaven, and sent down the rain, and made the fruits to grow in their seasons, and filled their hearts with food and pleasure.
18 Nanso, saa kasa yi nyinaa akyi no, pɛ ara na nnipa no pɛɛ sɛ wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ma wɔn.
And, by saying these things, they with difficulty prevented the people from offering sacrifice to them.
19 Yudafoɔ bi firi Antiokia a ɛwɔ Pisidia ne Ikoniom tuu nnipa no aso maa wɔsii Paulo aboɔ, twee no firii kuro no mu; na wɔsusu sɛ wawu.
But Jews came hither from Iconium and Antioch, and excited the people against them. And they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 Nanso, ɛberɛ a agyidifoɔ no bɛtwaa ne ho hyiaeɛ no, ɔsɔre sane kɔɔ kuro no mu. Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, ɔne Barnaba firii hɔ kɔɔ Derbe.
And the disciples assembled around him; and he arose, and went into the city. And the next day, he departed from there, with Barnabas; and they came to the city of Derbe.
21 Paulo ne Barnaba kaa asɛmpa no wɔ Derbe maa nnipa pii gye diiɛ. Wɔfiri hɔ no, wɔsane kɔɔ Listra, Ikoniom ne Antiokia a ɛwɔ Pisidia.
And while they were preaching to the inhabitants of that city, they made many disciples. And turning back, they came to the city Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,
22 Wɔhyɛɛ agyidifoɔ no nkuran sɛ wɔntena ase gyidie mu. Wɔka kyerɛɛ agyidifoɔ yi sɛ, “Ansa na yɛbɛtumi akɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛfa ɔhaw ahodoɔ pii mu.”
confirming the souls of the disciples, and entreating them to persevere in the faith; and they told them, that it was necessary, through much affliction, to enter into the kingdom of God.
23 Asafo biara a wɔkɔɔ mu no, wɔsisii mpanimfoɔ maa wɔn; na wɔnam mpaeɛbɔ ne mmuadadie so de mpanimfoɔ no hyɛɛ Awurade a wɔde wɔn ho ato no so no nsa.
And they established for them Elders in each church, while they fasted with them, and prayed, and commended them to our Lord in whom they believed.
24 Wɔfiri Pisidia no, wɔbaa Pamfilia.
And when they had travelled over the region of Pisidia they came to Pamphylia.
25 Wɔkaa asɛmpa no wɔ Perge, na wɔfiri hɔ baa Atalia.
And when they had spoken the word of the Lord in the city of Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 Wɔfiri Atalia no, wɔsane baa Antiokia a ɛhɔ na ɛberɛ a na wɔrebɛfiri saa adwuma a wɔawie yi ase no, wɔde wɔn hyɛɛ Awurade adom nsa no.
And thence they proceeded by sea, and came to Antioch; because from there they had been commended to the grace of the Lord, for that work which they had accomplished.
27 Ɛberɛ a wɔduruu Antiokia no, wɔhyiaa asafo no mu nnipa nyinaa. Wɔkaa nneɛma a Onyankopɔn nam wɔn so ayɛ, ne sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn abue ɛkwan ama amanamanmufoɔ agye asɛm no adi no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
And when they had collected together the whole church, they narrated all that God had wrought with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Paulo ne Barnaba tenaa agyidifoɔ no nkyɛn kyɛreeɛ.
And they remained there a long time with the disciples.
