Asomafoɔ 2
1 Pentekoste da no duruiɛ no, na asuafoɔ no nyinaa ahyia wɔ faako.
AND when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 Amonom hɔ ara, ɛnne bi te sɛ ahum a ɛretu firi ɔsoro baeɛ bɛhyɛɛ efie a na wɔwɔ mu no ma.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 Egya a ɛrederɛ a ɛte sɛ tɛkrɛma bɛsisii wɔn so mmaako mmaako.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 Honhom Kronkron no hyɛɛ wɔn nyinaa ma, na wɔkaa kasa foforɔ, sɛdeɛ Honhom no maa wɔn ho kwan.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 Saa ɛberɛ no na Yudafoɔ bi a wɔfɛre Onyame firi mmeaeɛ mmeaeɛ aba Yerusalem.
And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6 Wɔtee deɛ ɛrekɔ so no, wɔbɔɔ twi bɛhyiaeɛ, na ɛyɛɛ wɔn nwanwa ne ahodwirie, ɛfiri sɛ, obiara tee sɛ wɔreka ne kurom kasa.
Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7 Enti, wɔbisaa sɛ, “Na saa nnipa yi a wɔrekasa yi nyɛ Galileafoɔ anaa?
And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans?
8 Na adɛn enti na yɛte sɛ wɔreka Onyankopɔn anwanwadwuma ho asɛm wɔ yɛn a yɛyɛ
And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
9 Partifoɔ, Mediafoɔ ne Elamfoɔ, ne wɔn a wɔte Mesopotamia ne Yudea ne Kapadokia, Ponto, Asia,
Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
10 Frigia ne Pamfilia, Misraim ne Libia fa a ɛbɛn Kirene ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔfiri Roma, Yudafoɔ ne wɔn a wɔasakyera aba Yudasom mu,
Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
11 ne Kretafoɔ ne Arabfoɔ mu biara kasa mu yi?”
Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
12 Wɔde ahodwirie bisaa sɛ, “Yei ase ne sɛn?”
And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
13 Afoforɔ nso dii wɔn ho fɛ sɛ, “Saa nnipa yi aboboro nsã.”
Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
14 Petro ne asomafoɔ dubaako no sɔre gyinaa hɔ na ɔkasaa dendeenden kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Me nuanom Yudafoɔ ne mo a mote Yerusalem nyinaa, montie asɛm a mereka yi.
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
15 Saa nnipa yi mmoboroo nsã sɛdeɛ mosusu no, ɛfiri sɛ, adeɛ nnya nkyee a ɛsɛ sɛ obi nom nsã boro.
For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
16 Asɛm a asi yi na odiyifoɔ Yoɛl hyɛɛ ho nkɔm sɛ:
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 “‘Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, nna a ɛdi akyire no, mɛhwie me Honhom no agu nnipa nyinaa so. Mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa bɛhyɛ nkɔm, mo mmeranteɛ nso ahunu anisoadeɛ. Na mo mpanin nso asoso adaeɛ.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 Saa mmerɛ no mu no, mɛhwie me Honhom agu mʼasomfoɔ mpo so, mmarima ne mmaa, ama wɔahyɛ nkɔm.
And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 Mede mogya ne ogya ne wisie kumɔnn bɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so.
And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 Ansa na Awurade da kɛseɛ no bɛba no, owia bɛduru sum na ɔsrane nso ayɛ sɛ mogya.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 Na obiara a ɔbɛbɔ Awurade din no bɛnya nkwa.’
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 “Israelfoɔ, montie! Yesu Nasareni no yɛ ɔbarima bi a ne dwuma kronkron a ɔbɛdiiɛ no daa adi wɔ tumi ne anwanwadeɛ ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a Onyankopɔn nam ne so yɛeɛ a mo ankasa di ho adanseɛ no mu.
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23 Onyankopɔn ankasa firi ne pɛ ne ne nhunumu mu sii no gyinaeɛ sɛ wɔbɛyi Yesu ama mo, na mode no maa nnebɔneyɛfoɔ ma wɔbɔɔ no asɛnnua mu kumm no.
Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Nanso, Onyankopɔn nyanee no firii owuo mu maa ɔyii no firii owuyea mu, ɛfiri sɛ, owuo antumi anni ne so.”
Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25 Asɛm a Dawid ka faa ne ho ne sɛ, “Mehunu Awurade wɔ mʼani so daa nyinaa. Esiane sɛ ɔwɔ me nsa nifa enti, merenhinhim da.
For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Ɛno enti, me kra ani gye, na me de me tɛkrɛma di ahurisie. Me onipadua nso bɛhome asomdwoeɛ mu.
Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
28 Woakyerɛ me nkwagyeɛ ɛkwan; na wobɛma mʼani agye wɔ wʼanim.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29 “Anuanom, ɛsɛ sɛ meda mʼadwene adi pefee wɔ yɛn panin Dawid ho. Ɔwuiɛ na wɔsiee no, na ne damena da so wɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Na ɔyɛ odiyifoɔ a ɔnim bɔ bi a Onyankopɔn ahyɛ no no. Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ bɔ bi sɛ ɔbɛyɛ Dawid aseni ɔhene, sɛdeɛ Dawid yɛ ɔhene no ara pɛ.
Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 Dawid hunuu deɛ Onyankopɔn rebɛyɛ no, ɔkasa faa owusɔreɛ a ɛfa Agyenkwa no ho sɛ, ‘Wɔannya no awufoɔ mu. Ne honam nso amporɔ.’ (Hadēs g86)
He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
32 Onyankopɔn anyane saa Yesu yi afiri owuo mu, na yɛn nyinaa yɛ saa asɛm yi ho adansefoɔ.
This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Wɔahyɛ no animuonyam de no akɔtena Onyankopɔn nifa so ma ne nsa aka Honhom Kronkron no a Agya no hyɛɛ no ɛho bɔ no; ɛno na wahwie agu yɛn so a ɛho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ na mohunu na mote yi.
Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34 Dawid ankasa de, wankɔ ɔsoro, na mmom, ɔkaa sɛ, “‘Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me wura sɛ, “Tena me nsa nifa so ha,
For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 kɔsi sɛ mede wʼatamfoɔ bɛyɛ wo nan ntiasoɔ.”’
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 “Ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa hunu sɛ, mo na mobɔɔ saa Yesu yi a Onyankopɔn ayɛ no Awurade ne Agyenkwa no asɛnnua mu.”
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Ɛberɛ a nnipa no tee saa asɛm yi no, ɛhaa wɔn yie. Enti, wɔbisaa Petro ne asomafoɔ a aka no sɛ, “Anuanom, ɛdeɛn na yɛnyɛ?”
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Petro ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnu mo ho na wɔmmɔ mo asu wɔ Yesu Kristo din mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔde mo bɔne bɛkyɛ mo na moanya Onyankopɔn akyɛdeɛ a ɛyɛ Honhom Kronkron no.
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ Honhom Kronkron yi ho bɔ maa mo ne mo mma ne wɔn a wɔtete akyirikyiri ne wɔn a Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, bɛfrɛ wɔn aba ne nkyɛn no nyinaa.”
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 Petro kaa nsɛm bebree kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnye mo ho mfiri asotwe a ɛreba saa nnebɔneyɛfoɔ yi so no mu.”
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41 Wɔn mu dodoɔ no ara gyee asɛm no diiɛ maa wɔbɔɔ wɔn asu. Saa ɛda no, nnipa bɛyɛ mpensa na wɔbɛkaa agyidifoɔ no ho.
Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42 Daa na wɔde wɔn adagyeɛ nyinaa sua asomafoɔ no nkyerɛkyerɛ. Wɔne wɔn nyaa ayɔnkofa, hyia didi bɔɔ mu ne wɔn bɔɔ mpaeɛ.
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 Asomafoɔ no yɛɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ bebree maa obiara a ɔhunuiɛ no ho dwirii no.
And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 Agyidifoɔ no nyinaa kɔɔ so tenaa ase sɛ nnipa korɔ, na wɔkyekyɛɛ wɔn ahodeɛ mu momaa wɔn ho wɔn ho.
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 Wɔtɔn wɔn ahodeɛ kyekyɛɛ sika a wɔnya firii mu no maa wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛdeɛ ɛho hia obiara.
And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 Daa na wɔbɔ mu hyia wɔ asɔredan mu de anigyeɛ ne akoma pa bɔ mu didi wɔ wɔn afie mu, kamfo Onyankopɔn, nya animuonyam wɔ nnipa anim.
And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 Ɛda biara na Awurade de wɔn a ɔgye wɔn nkwa no bɛka wɔn ho.
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
