Asomafoɔ 17
1 Wɔtoaa wɔn akwantuo no so firii Amfipoli ne Apolonia baa Tesalonika a na Yudafoɔ hyiadan wɔ no.
Pea kuo nau ʻalu ʻi ʻAmifipoli mo ʻApolonia, pea nau aʻu ki Tesalonika, pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae falelotu ʻoe kakai Siu.
2 Sɛdeɛ Paulo taa yɛ no, ɔkɔɔ hyiadan mu mprɛnsa ne nnipa no gyee akyinnyeɛ wɔ Atwerɛsɛm no ho,
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Paula kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻene faʻa fai, pea ne malangaʻaki ʻae ngaahi tohi kiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate ʻe tolu,
3 kyerɛɛ mu, dii adanseɛ sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ, Agyenkwa no hunu amane na ɔsɔre firi awufoɔ mu. Paulo kaa sɛ, “Saa Yesu a mereka ne ho asɛm akyerɛ mo yi ne Agyenkwa no.”
“ʻO fakamatala mo fakamoʻoni, naʻe taau mo Kalaisi ke mamahi, mo toetuʻu mei he pekia; pea ko Sisu eni, ʻoku ou malangaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ko e Kalaisi ia.”
4 Nnipa no bi gye diiɛ maa wɔdii Paulo ne Silas akyi. Saa ara nso na Helafoɔ bebree a wɔsom Onyankopɔn ne mmaa mpanin bi nso gye diiɛ de wɔn ho bɔɔ wɔn ara no no.
Pea naʻe tui honau niʻihi, ʻonau kau taha mo Paula mo Sailosi; pea mo e tokolahi ʻi he Kiliki kuo lotu, pea mo e kau fineʻeiki tokolahi.
5 Yudafoɔ mpanin no ani bereeɛ enti wɔboaboaa ahuhufoɔ bi ano maa wɔbɔɔ twi faa kuro no mu kɔtwaa Yason fie ho hyiaeɛ, pɛɛ sɛ wɔn nsa ka Paulo ne Silas de wɔn brɛ mpanin no.
Ka ko e kakai Siu naʻe ʻikai tui, naʻa nau meheka, pea naʻa nau ʻave mo kinautolu ʻae kau siana pauʻu, pea tānaki ʻae tokolahi, ʻonau veuveuki ʻae kolo, pea feʻohofi ki he fale ʻo Sesoni, ʻo kumi ke ʻomi ʻakinaua kituʻa ki he kakai.
6 Esiane sɛ wɔn nsa anka wɔn no enti, wɔtwee Yason ne anuanom bi de wɔn baa mpanin no anim teateaam sɛ, “Saa nnipa a wɔma basabasa ba baabiara a wɔkɔ no aba yɛn kuro yi mu,
Pea ʻi he ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻakinaua, naʻa nau toho ʻa Sesoni mo e kāinga niʻihi ki he kau fakamaau ʻoe kolo, mo nau kalanga, Ko kinautolu kuo fulihi ʻa māmani, kuo nau haʻu foki ki heni;
7 ama Yason agye wɔn atena ne fie. Wɔn nyinaa abu Ɔhempɔn Kaesare mmara a ɔde ama yɛn sɛ yɛnni so no so, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔka sɛ, ɔhene foforɔ bi wɔ hɔ a wɔfrɛ no Yesu.”
Pea kuo maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻe Sesoni pea ʻoku nau fai kehe kotoa pē mo e ngaahi fono ʻa Sisa, mo nau pehē, ‘ʻOku ai ʻae tuʻi ʻe taha, ko Sisu.’
8 Saa asɛm yi hwanyanee dɔm no ne kuro no mu mpanin no.
Pea naʻa nau fakamanavahēʻi ʻae kakai mo e kau fakamaau ʻoe kolo, ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
9 Kuro no mu mpanin no maa Yason ne anuanom no tuaa sika bi de dii wɔn agyinamu maa wɔgyaa wɔn.
Pea ʻi heʻenau maʻu ʻae tuku lea totongi ʻa Sesoni mo hono toe ʻoe kāinga, naʻa nau tukuange ʻakinautolu.
10 Adeɛ saeɛ ara pɛ, anuanom yi gyaa Paulo ne Silas ɛkwan ma wɔkɔɔ Beroia. Wɔduruiɛ no, wɔkɔɔ Yudafoɔ hyiadan mu.
Pea naʻe tukuange leva ʻe he kāinga ʻa Paula mo Sailosi ke na ō poʻuli ki Pelea: pea kuo na aʻu ki ai, pea na hū ki he falelotu ʻoe kakai Siu.
11 Na nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyɛ akyinnyegyefoɔ te sɛ Tesalonikafoɔ no. Wɔde ahosɛpɛ gyee asɛm no diiɛ a daa na wɔsua Atwerɛsɛm no pɛɛ sɛ wɔhunu sɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ a Paulo kyerɛkyerɛ no yɛ nokorɛ anaa.
Pea naʻe loto lelei ʻakinautolu ni ʻiate kinautolu ʻi Tesalonika, he naʻa nau maʻu ʻae folofola mo e loto fiefia, ʻonau kumi ʻi he ngaahi tohi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ki hono moʻoni ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.
12 Nnipa no mu bebree a Helafoɔ mmaa atitire ne mmarima ka ho no gyee nkyerɛkyerɛ no diiɛ.
Ko ia naʻe tui ai ʻae tokolahi ʻiate kinautolu; pea mo e kau fineʻeiki ʻi he kakai Kiliki, pea mo e kau tangata tokolahi.
13 Ɛberɛ a Yudafoɔ a wɔwɔ Tesalonika no tee sɛ Paulo akɔka Onyankopɔn asɛm no wɔ Beroia no, wɔkɔɔ hɔ nso kɔhwanyanee ɛhɔfoɔ no nso.
Pea kuo ʻilo ʻe he kakai Siu ʻi Tesalonika kuo malangaʻaki ʻe Paula ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻi Pelea, naʻa nau ʻalu ki ai, ʻo fakamaveuveuʻi ʻae kakai.
14 Enti, ntɛm ara, anuanom no gyaa Paulo ɛkwan sɛ ɔnkɔ mpoano, nanso Silas ne Timoteo de, wɔtenaa Beroia.
Pea tukuange leva ʻe he kāinga ʻa Paula ke hala tahi ia ʻo ʻalu: ka naʻe nofo pe ʻi ai ʻa Sailosi mo Timote.
15 Nnipa a wɔkɔgyaa Paulo ɛkwan no de no kɔduruu Atene. Wɔresane akɔ Beroia no, Paulo kraa wɔn sɛ wɔnka nkyerɛ Silas ne Timoteo sɛ wɔmmɛka ne ho ntɛm.
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe fakahinohino ʻa Paula, naʻa nau ʻomi ia ki ʻAtenisi: pea kuo nau maʻu ʻae fekau kia Sailosi mo Timote, ke na haʻu vave kiate ia, naʻa nau ʻalu.
16 Ɛberɛ a Paulo retwɛn Silas ne Timoteo wɔ Atene no, ɔhunuu ahoni pii wɔ kuro no mu. Yei maa ne werɛ hoeɛ yie.
Pea naʻe kei tatali ʻa Paula kiate kinaua ʻi ʻAtenisi, pea ngaueue hono laumālie ʻiate ia, ʻi heʻene mamata kuo pito ʻae kolo ʻi he tamapua.
17 Enti, na ɔne Yudafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ a wɔsom Onyankopɔn no taa hyia wɔ hyiadan mu ma ɔkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn asɛm. Saa ara nso na daa na ɔne nkurɔfoɔ gye akyinnyeɛ wɔ adwabɔeɛ ara no no.
Pea naʻe kikihi ia ʻi he falelotu mo e kakai Siu, pea mo e kakai kuo lotu, pea mo kinautolu naʻa nau fetaulaki mo ia ʻi he potu fakatau ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
18 Afei, ɔne Epikurofoɔ ne Stoikfoɔ anyansafoɔ bi nso gyee akyinnyeɛ. Ebinom kaa sɛ, “na ɛdeɛn na ɔtoatoafoɔ yi pɛ sɛ ɔkyerɛ yi?” Afoforɔ nso kaa sɛ, “Ɛsɛ deɛ ɔreka anyame afoforɔ bi ho asɛm.” Deɛ enti a wɔkaa yei ne sɛ, na Paulo reka Yesu Kristo ne ne wusɔreɛ ho asɛm.
Pea naʻe toki fetaulaki mo ia ʻae kau fiepoto [ʻoe faʻahinga ]ʻo ʻEpikulio, mo Sitoiko. Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Ko e hā ʻoku lau ʻe he palau na?” Pea pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “ʻOku matamata fakahā ʻotua foʻou ia:” koeʻuhi naʻa ne malangaʻaki kiate kinautolu ʻa Sisu, mo e toetuʻu.
19 Wɔde Paulo kɔɔ Areopago nhyiamu anim kaa sɛ, “Yɛpɛ sɛ yɛte nkyerɛkyerɛ foforɔ a worekyerɛkyerɛ yi ase,
Pea naʻe ʻomi ia, ʻo ʻave ki he ʻAleopeiko, mo nau pehē, “ʻOku mau fie ʻilo pē ko e hā ʻae akonaki foʻou ni, ʻoku ke leaʻaki.
20 ɛfiri sɛ, nsɛm a woka no bi yɛ yɛn asom asɛm foforɔ, enti yɛpɛ sɛ wokyerɛkyerɛ yɛn mu yie.”
He ʻoku ke ʻomi meʻa foʻou ki homau telinga: ko ia ʻoku mau fie ʻilo ai hono ʻuhinga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni.”
21 Na Atenefoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no nni hwee yɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn adagyeɛ nyinaa bɛtie nsɛm foforɔ anaa wɔbɛka nsɛm foforɔ a wɔate no akyerɛ afoforɔ.
(He ko e kakai ʻAtenisi kotoa pē, mo e ʻāunofo ʻi ai, naʻa nau mātuʻaki nofo pe ke lau, mo fakafanongo ki he meʻa foʻou.)
22 Paulo sɔre gyinaa Areopago nhyiamu no anim kaa sɛ, “Atenefoɔ, mehunu sɛ moyɛ nnipa a mopɛ nyamesom yie.
Pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa Paula ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ʻAleopeiko, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻAkimoutolu ʻi ʻAtenisi, ʻoku ou vakai ʻoku mou faʻa fai ʻo lahi ʻae lotu.
23 Ɛfiri sɛ, metuu mpase faa mo kuro yi mu, na mehunuu mmeaeɛ ahodoɔ a mosom no, mehunuu afɔrebukyia bi a wɔatwerɛ ho sɛ, Onyame a wɔnnim no no de. Enti, adeɛ a monnim na mosɔre no no, ɛno ho asɛm na mereka akyerɛ mo yi.
Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻeku ʻalu, ʻoku ou mamata ki he meʻa ʻoku mou lotu ki ai, pea ne u ʻilo ʻae ʻesifeilaulau, ʻoku tuʻu ai ʻae tohi ni, ‘KI HE ʻOTUA ʻOKU ʻIKAI ʻILOA.’ Pea ko ia ʻoku mou lotu taʻeʻilo ki ai, ko ia ia ʻoku ou fakahā kiate kimoutolu.
24 “Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ ewiase ne nneɛma a ɛwɔ mu nyinaa no na ɔyɛɛ ɔsoro ne asase. Awurade no nte asɔredan a nnipa asi mu.
Ko e ʻOtua ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻa māmani mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻoku ʻikai nofo ia ʻi he ngaahi fale kuo ngaohi ʻe he nima, he ko e ʻEiki ia ʻoe langi mo māmani;
25 Saa ara nso na biribiara a nnipa nam wɔn dwumadie so de bɛma no no nso ho nhia no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na ɔma nnipa nkwa ne biribiara a ɛhia wɔn.
Pea ʻoku ʻikai tauhi ʻaki ia ʻae nima ʻoe tangata, ʻo hangē ʻoku masiva ia ʻi ha meʻa, he ʻoku foaki ʻe ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻae moʻui, mo e mānava, mo e meʻa kotoa pē;
26 Ɔnam onipa baako so na ɔbɔɔ nnipa ahodoɔ nyinaa de wɔn tenaa asase so. Ɔno ankasa na ansa na ɔrebɛbɔ nnipa no, ɔhyehyɛɛ amanaman ɛberɛ a wɔbɛsɔre ne ɛberɛ a wɔbɛhwe ase. Saa ara nso na ɔhyehyɛɛ wɔn tenabea ahyeɛ.
Pea naʻe ngaohi ʻe ia ʻi he toto pe taha ʻae ngaahi kakai kotoa pē ke nofo ʻi he funga ʻo māmani kotoa pē, pea kuo tomuʻa tukupau ʻae ngaahi kuonga, mo e ngataʻanga ʻo honau nofoʻanga;
27 Ɛwom sɛ Onyankopɔn bɛn yɛn de, nanso ɔyɛ yei sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a nnipa bɛhwehwɛ nʼakyi kwan atwe abɛn no;
Ke nau kumi ki he ʻEiki, ʻo tautaufā ki ai, heiʻilo pe te nau maʻu ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai mamaʻo ia mo kitautolu taki taha kotoa pē.
28 sɛdeɛ obi ka sɛ, ‘Ne mu na yɛte ase na yɛkeka yɛn ho’ no no. Saa ara nso na mo nnwomtofoɔ bi nso aka sɛ, ‘Yɛn nso yɛyɛ ne mma’ no.
‘He ʻoku tau moʻui, mo ngaueue, mo nofo pē, ʻiate ia;’ ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae niʻihi ʻi hoʻomou kau tohi hiva, ‘He ko hono hako foki ʻakitautolu.’
29 “Ɛnneɛ sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn mma de a, ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛsusu sɛ Onyankopɔn tebea te sɛ ohoni bi a onipa de dwetɛ anaa sika anaa ɛboɔ ayɛ.
Pea kapau ko e hako ʻoe ʻOtua ʻakitautolu, ʻoku ʻikai lelei ʻetau mahalo ʻoku tatau ʻae ʻOtua mo e koula, pe ko e siliva, pe ko e maka, kuo tongitongi ʻaki ʻae poto mo e filioʻi ʻoe tangata.
30 Onyankopɔn buu nʼani guu ɛberɛ a na nnipa nnim no no so, nanso afei de, ɔhyɛ nnipa nyinaa sɛ wɔntwe wɔn ho mfiri akwammɔne so.
Pea naʻe ʻikai fie ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi kuonga ʻoe vale ni, ka ʻoku ne fekau eni ki he kakai kotoa pē, ʻi he potu kotoa pē, ke nau fakatomala:
31 Ɛfiri sɛ, wayi da bi ato hɔ a ɔnam onipa bi a wayi no no so bɛbu nnipa nyinaa atɛntenenee. Ɔnam sɔre a ɔmaa saa onipa yi sɔre firii awufoɔ mu no so adi adanseɛ akyerɛ nnipa nyinaa.”
Koeʻuhi kuo ne kotofa ʻae ʻaho, te ne fakamaau māʻoniʻoni ai ʻa māmani, ʻi he tangata kuo ne fakanofo; pea kuo ne fakapapau ia ki he kakai kotoa pē, ʻI heʻene fokotuʻu ia mei he pekia.”
32 Ɛberɛ a nnipa no tee sɛ Paulo reka owusɔreɛ ho asɛm no, ebinom dii ne ho fɛw, na afoforɔ nso kaa sɛ, “Yɛpɛ sɛ wosane ka saa asɛm no bio.”
Pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo ki he toetuʻu ʻae pekia, naʻe manuki ʻae niʻihi: kae pehē ʻe he niʻihi, “Te mau toe fanongo ʻiate koe ki he meʻa ni.”
33 Saa nsɛm a ɛkɔɔ so yi maa Paulo firii nhyiamu no ase hɔ kɔeɛ.
Pea ʻalu ai ʻa Paula ʻiate kinautolu.
34 Nanso, nnipa kakra bi gyee no diiɛ de wɔn ho bɔɔ no. Saa nnipa no mu bi ne Dionisio a ɔfra Areopagofoɔ mu ne ɔbaa bi a ne din de Damari ne afoforɔ bi.
Ka naʻe pikitai ʻae kau tangata niʻihi kiate ia, pea nau tui: pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Taionisio ʻoe ʻAleopeiko, pea ko e fefine naʻe hingoa ko Temalisi, pea mo e niʻihi foki mo kinautolu.
