1 Paulo toaa nʼakwantuo no so kɔɔ Derbe ne Listra. Ɛhɔ na na ogyidini bi a ne din de Timoteo a ne maame yɛ Yudani ogyidini na nʼagya nso yɛ Helani no te.
Wafika eDebhe wedlulela eListra lapho okwakuhlala khona umfundi owayethiwa nguThimothi, olonina owaye ngumJudakazi, elikholwa, kodwa uyise engumGrikhi.
2 Anuanom a na wɔwɔ Listra ne Ikoniom no nyinaa dii Timoteo ho adanseɛ pa.
Abazalwane baseListra lase-Ikhoniyamu babemncoma.
3 Esiane sɛ na Paulo pɛ sɛ ɔde Timoteo ka ne ho kɔ enti, ɔtwaa no twetia, ɛfiri sɛ, Yudafoɔ a na wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa nim sɛ Timoteo agya yɛ Helani.
UPhawuli wayefuna ukuhamba laye, ngakho wasemsoka ngenxa yamaJuda akuleyondawo ngoba bonke babekwazi ukuthi uyise wayengumGrikhi.
4 Kuro biara a wɔduruu so no, wɔkaa mmara a asomafoɔ ne mpanimfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ahyɛ sɛ wɔnni so no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
Ekuhambeni kwabo kulelo lalelodolobho, babezethula izinqumo ezenziwa ngabapostoli labadala eJerusalema ukuze abantu bazilandele.
5 Asafo no nyinii gyidie mu na daa nnipa bebree bɛkaa wɔn ho.
Ngakho amabandla aqiniswa ekukholweni abantu banda mihla yonke.
6 Esiane sɛ Honhom Kronkron amma wɔn ɛkwan sɛ wɔnka asɛm no wɔ Asia no enti, wɔkɔɔ Frigia ne Galatia.
UPhawuli labaphelekezeli bakhe bayibhoda yonke imango yaseFirigiya laseGalathiya, uMoya oNgcwele esemalele ukuthi atshumayele ilizwi edolobheni lase-Ezhiya.
7 Wɔduruu Misia hyeɛ so no, wɔpɛɛ sɛ anka wɔkɔ Bitinia, nanso Yesu Honhom no amma wɔn ɛkwan.
Bathi sebefike emngceleni waseMisiya, bazama ukungena eBhithiniya, kodwa uMoya kaJesu kawubavumelanga.
8 Enti, wɔfaa Misia kɔsii Troa.
Ngakho bedlula eceleni kweMisiya behlela eTrowasi.
9 Ɛda no anadwo Paulo hunuu anisoadeɛ sɛ ɔbarima bi a ɔfiri Makedonia gyina hɔ resrɛ no sɛ, “Twa bra Makedonia bɛboa yɛn!”
Ebusuku uPhawuli wehlelwa ngumbono wendoda yaseMasedoniya imi imncenga isithi, “Woza eMasedoniya uzosisiza.”
10 Anisoadehunu yi akyi no, yɛboaboaa yɛn ho sɛ yɛbɛkɔ Makedonia, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛtee aseɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn na wafrɛ yɛn sɛ yɛnkɔka asɛmpa no wɔ hɔ.
UPhawuli esebone umbono lowo, sahle salungisa masinyane ukuthi siye eMasedoniya, sibona ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayesibizile ukuba sitshumayele ivangeli kubo.
11 Yɛde ɛhyɛn firii Troa kɔɔ Samotrake na adeɛ kyeeɛ no, yɛduruu Neapoli.
Sasuka eTrowasi sawela ulwandle santsheza saqonda eSamathrake, ngosuku olulandelayo sedlulela eNiyapholi.
12 Yɛfiri hɔ no, yɛtoaa so kɔɔ Filipi, kuro titire a ɛwɔ Makedonia mansini a na Romafoɔ di so no mu. Yɛdii nna kakra wɔ saa kuro yi mu.
Sesisuka lapho saya eFiliphi, elaliyilona idolobho elikhulu lesiqinti seMasedoniya eyayibuswa ngamaRoma. Sahlala lapho okwensuku ezinengi.
13 Homeda duruiɛ no, yɛfirii kuro no mu kɔɔ asubɔnten bi ho baabi a yɛate sɛ Yudafoɔ taa hyia wɔ hɔ bɔ mpaeɛ. Yɛkyerɛkyerɛɛ mmaa bi a wɔbaa hɔ no Atwerɛsɛm no.
NgeSabatha saphumela ngaphandle kwamasango omuzi saya emfuleni sifuna indawo yokukhuleka. Sahlala phansi saqalisa ukukhuluma labesifazane ababebuthene khonapho.
14 Mmaa a wɔbɛtiee asɛm no mu baako ne Tiatirani Lidia a na ɔtɔn ntoma kɔkɔɔ. Na ɔyɛ Onyamesom ni enti Awurade buee nʼakoma mu maa ɔtiee asɛm a na Paulo reka no, gye diiɛ.
Omunye walabo ababelalele ngowesifazane owayethiwa nguLidiya, umthengisi welembu eliyibubende evela edolobheni laseThiyathira, ekhonza uNkulunkulu. INkosi yayivula inhliziyo yakhe ukuba emukele ilizwi likaPhawuli.
15 Wɔbɔɔ ɔne ne fiefoɔ nyinaa asu wieeɛ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ yɛn sɛ, “Sɛ mogye tom sɛ meyɛ Awurade mu ogyidini ampa ara a, mommɛtena me fie.” Ɔkɔɔ so srɛɛ yɛn ara kɔsii sɛ yɛpeneeɛ.
Kwathi yena kanye labendlu yakhe sebebhaphathiziwe, wasinxusela emzini wakhe. Wathi, “Nxa lingemukela njengekholwa eNkosini, wozani lizohlala endlini yami.” Wasincenga savuma.
16 Ɛda bi a yɛrekɔ baabi a yɛhyia bɔ mpaeɛ no, yɛhyiaa afenaa bi a akɔm honhom wɔ ne mu a ɔde nʼakɔm no hyɛ nkɔm ma ne wuranom nya wɔn ho.
Ngelinye ilanga sathi sisiya endaweni yokukhuleka sahlangana lentombazana eyayiyisigqili, ilomoya wobungoma. Yayizuzela abanini bayo imali enengi ngalokho kuhlahlula.
17 Ɔdii yɛne Paulo akyi teateaam sɛ, “Saa nnipa yi yɛ Ɔsorosoroni Onyankopɔn no asomfoɔ a wɔaba sɛ wɔrebɛka nkwagyeɛ ho asɛm akyerɛ mo.”
Intombazana le yalandela uPhawuli lathi sonke imemeza isithi, “Amadoda la ayizinceku zikaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, alitshela indlela yokusindiswa.”
18 Yei kɔɔ so ara kɔsii sɛ da bi Paulo de ahometeɛ teateaa honhommɔne no sɛ, “Mehyɛ wo Yesu Kristo din mu sɛ, tu firi ne mu kɔ!” Amonom hɔ ara, na honhommɔne no tu firii afenaa no mu.
Yakwenza lokhu okwensuku ezinengi. Ekucineni uPhawuli kwamcaphula lokho waphenduka wathi kuwo umoya, “Ngiyakulaya ngebizo likaJesu Khristu ukuthi uphume kuyo!” Umoya wahle waphuma kuyo khonapho.
19 Ɛberɛ a afenaa no wuranom hunuu sɛ deɛ ɛma wɔn sika no afiri wɔn nsa no, wɔkyeree Paulo ne Silas twee wɔn kɔɔ mpanin anim wɔ adwabɔeɛ.
Abanikazi bentombazana bathi ngokunanzelela ukuthi ithemba labo lokuzuza imali laselinyamalele, bababamba, uPhawuli loSayilasi babadonsela enkundleni yokuthengisa ukuba bayeqondana leziphathamandla.
20 Wɔde wɔn brɛɛ mpanin bɔɔ wɔn soboɔ sɛ, “Saa nnipa yi yɛ Yudafoɔ a wɔde wɔn nneyɛeɛ ne wɔn nkyerɛkyerɛ redane yɛn kuro yi ani.
Babamisa phambi kwabomantshi bathi, “Amadoda la angamaJuda asedunge idolobho lakithi
21 Wɔrekyerɛkyerɛ amanneɛ bi a ɛsiane sɛ yɛyɛ Romafoɔ enti, yɛn mmara mma yɛn ho ɛkwan sɛ yɛgye tom.”
ngokukhuthaza imikhuba engaphandle komthetho ukuthi thina amaRoma siyamukele kumbe siyilandele.”
22 Nnipadɔm a wɔwɔ hɔ no to hyɛɛ wɔn so, na mpanin no tetee Paulo ne Silas ntadeɛ mu, hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmmɔ wɔn mmaa.
Ixuku layingenela indaba yokuhlasela uPhawuli loSayilasi, ngakho omantshi bathi kabakhululwe izigqoko batshaywe.
23 Wɔbɔɔ wɔn mmaa pii wieeɛ no, wɔde wɔn kɔguu afiase, na mpanin no hyɛɛ afiase sohwɛfoɔ no sɛ ɔnto wɔn mu yie sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔrennwane.
Sebebatshaye kabuhlungu babaphosela entolongweni kwathiwa umlindijele abakhangele aqinisise.
24 Afiase sohwɛfoɔ no tee saa asɛm yi no, ɔde wɔn kɔguu afiase hɔ dan a ɛwɔ mfimfini no mu de nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn guguu wɔn nan de bobɔɔ dua mu.
Esezwe lowomlayo wabafuqela endlini yentolongo ephakathi wababopha inyawo, wazibophela ensikeni.
25 Ɔdasuom a Paulo ne Silas rebɔ mpaeɛ reto nnwom ayi Onyankopɔn ayɛ, na nneduafoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no nso retie wɔn no,
Sekungaba phakathi kwamabili ebusuku uPhawuli loSayilasi bakhuleka bahlabela amahubo kuNkulunkulu, ezinye izibotshwa zibalalele.
26 prɛko pɛ, asase wosoo dendeenden maa afiase no nnyinasoɔ nso wosoeɛ maa apono no nyinaa buebueeɛ, na nneduafoɔ no nyinaa nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn teteeɛ.
Masinyane kwaba lokuzamazama komhlaba kwaze kwanyikinyeka lezisekelo zentolongo. Izivalo zentolongo zathi gwabu zavuleka, amaketane ezibotshwa athukuluka.
27 Ɛberɛ a afiase sohwɛfoɔ no firi nna mu nyaneeɛ na ɔhunuu sɛ afiase no apono no abuebue no, ɔsusuu sɛ nneduafoɔ no nyinaa adwane enti ɔtwee ne sekan pɛɛ sɛ anka ɔde kum ne ho.
Umlindijele waphaphama, wathi ngokubona iminyango yentolongo ivulekile, wakhokha inkemba yakhe esefuna ukuzibulala ngoba ekhumbula ukuthi izibotshwa zasezibalekile.
28 Nanso, Paulo teaam ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nkum wo ho! Yɛn nyinaa wɔ ha!”
Kodwa uPhawuli wamemeza wathi, “Ungazilimazi bo! Sikhona sonke!”
29 Ɛhɔ ara afiase sohwɛfoɔ no frɛ maa wɔde kanea brɛɛ no na ɔde ahopopoɔ ne suro bɛhwee Paulo ne Silas anim.
Umlindijele wathi kakulethwe izibane, wangena wazilahla phambi kukaPhawuli loSayilasi eqhaqhazela.
30 Afei, ɔde wɔn firii adi bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Awuranom, ɛdeɛn na menyɛ na manya nkwa?”
Wasebakhuphela phandle wababuza wathi, “Madoda, ngenzeni ukuze ngisindiswe na?”
31 Wɔbuaa sɛ, “Gye Awurade Yesu di na ɔbɛgye wo ne wo fiefoɔ nyinaa nkwa.”
Baphendula bathi, “Kholwa eNkosini uJesu, uzasindiswa; wena kanye lendlu yakho.”
32 Afei, wɔkaa Awurade ho asɛm kyerɛɛ afiase sohwɛfoɔ no ne ne fiefoɔ nyinaa.
Basebemtshumayeza ngelizwi leNkosi kanye labanye abendlu yakhe.
33 Anadwo no ara, afiase sohwɛfoɔ yi hohoroo Paulo ne Silas mmaabɔ akuro no anim. Afei, ɔmaa wɔbɔɔ ɔne ne fiefoɔ nyinaa asu.
Ngalelohola lebusuku umlindijele wabathatha wabagezisa imvimvinya zabo; kwasekusithi khonokho nje yena labendlu yakhe bahle babhaphathizwa.
34 Afiase sohwɛfoɔ yi de Paulo ne Silas kɔɔ efie kɔmaa wɔn aduane diiɛ na ɔne ne fiefoɔ nyinaa ho sanee wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, afei de, wɔagye Onyankopɔn adi.
Umlindijele wahamba labo endlini yakhe, wabapha ukudla. Indlu yakhe yonke yaba lokuthokoza ngoba basebekholwa kuNkulunkulu.
35 Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, mpanin no somaa asraafoɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ afiase sohwɛfoɔ no sɛ, “Gyaa saa nnipa no ma wɔnkɔ.”
Kwathi sokusile, omantshi bathuma amanxusa abo kumlindijele lomlayo othi: “Bakhulule abantu labo.”
36 Afiase sohwɛfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Paulo sɛ, “Mpanin no asoma abɛka sɛ mennyaa wo ne Silas ma monkɔ. Enti, monkɔ asomdwoeɛ mu.”
Umlindijele watshela uPhawuli wathi, “Omantshi sebethe wena loSayilasi likhululwe. Selingahamba. Lihambe ngokuthula.”
37 Nanso, Paulo ka kyerɛɛ asraafoɔ no sɛ, “Yɛyɛ Romafoɔ. Wɔammu yɛn fɔ wɔ bɔne biara ho na wɔde yɛn baa adwabɔeɛ, bɛbɔɔ yɛn mmaa, de yɛn guu afiase. Afei na mopɛ sɛ mogyaa yɛn sum ase? Dabi! Mpanin no ankasa mmra ha mmɛgyaa yɛn.”
Kodwa uPhawuli wathi emanxuseni: “Basibhaxabule phambi kwabantu singazange sithonisiswe thina singamaRoma agcweleyo, basiphosela entolongweni. Kanti manje sebefuna ukusikhupha ngasese na? Hatshi! Kababuye bona ngokwabo bazesikhupha.”
38 Asraafoɔ no sane kɔbɔɔ Roma mpanin no amaneɛ. Wɔtee sɛ Paulo ne Silas yɛ Romafoɔ no, wɔsuroeɛ
Amanxusa akubika lokhu kubomantshi abathi ngokuzwa ukuthi uPhawuli loSayilasi babengamaRoma agcweleyo, bethuka.
39 enti wɔkɔmaa wɔn dibem, yii wɔn firii afiase hɔ ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmfiri kuro no mu.
Beza ukuzabancenga, babakhupha entolongweni, babacela ukuthi basuke kulelodolobho.
40 Paulo ne Silas firii afiase hɔ kɔɔ Lidia fie. Wɔkɔtoo anuanom no wɔ hɔ, hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran. Afei wofirii hɔ kɔeɛ.
UPhawuli loSayilasi sebephumile entolongweni baya endlini kaLidiya lapho abahlangana khona labazalwane babaqinisa. Basebesuka bahamba.
