Asomafoɔ 3
1 Ɛda bi Petro ne Yohane kɔɔ asɔredan mu awia nnɔnmiɛnsa a ɛyɛ ɛberɛ a wɔde bɔ mpaeɛ.
Now, about that time, Peter and John went up to the temple, at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2 Wɔreyɛ aduru asɔredan ɛpono a wɔfrɛ no Ɛpono Fɛɛfɛ ano no, wɔhunuu obubuafoɔ bi sɛ ɔda hɔ. Na wɔsoa saa obubuafoɔ yi de no bɛto ɛpono yi ano da biara ma ɔsrɛsrɛ sika firi wɔn a wɔrekɔ asɔredan no mu no nkyɛn.
And a certain man, who had been lame from his birth, was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of those that entered into the temple;
3 Ɛberɛ a ɔhunuu sɛ Petro ne Yohane rekɔ mu no, ɔsrɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmma no biribi.
who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, begged to receive alms.
4 Wɔhwɛɛ nʼanim dinn na Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Hwɛ yɛn!”
But Peter, with John, looking steadfastly upon him, said, Look on us.
5 Ɔhwɛɛ wɔn susuu sɛ wɔbɛma no biribi.
And he fixed his eyes upon them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Nanso, Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sika de, menni bi; na deɛ mewɔ a mede bɛma wo ne sɛ, Yesu Kristo Nasareni din mu, sɔre nante!”
But Peter said, Silver and gold I have none, but what I have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, rise up and walk.
7 Afei, Petro de ne nsa nifa sɔɔ ne mu maa ne so gyinaa hɔ. Prɛko pɛ, ne nan no mu yɛɛ den.
And, taking him by the right hand, he raised him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones were strengthened.
8 Ɔhuri gyinaa ne nan so, na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ nanteeɛ. Afei, ɔne wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ asɔredan no mu a ɔrehurihuri, rekamfo Onyankopɔn.
And leaping up, he stood, and walked about, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 Nnipa no nyinaa hunuu no sɛ ɔnam reyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ.
And all the people saw him walking, and praising God;
10 Wɔhunuu no no, wohunuu sɛ ɔno ne ɔdesrɛni a na ɔda asɔredan ɛpono a wɔfrɛ no Ɛpono Fɛɛfɛ no ano no, wɔn ho dwirii wɔn.
and they knew him to be the same person who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple, and were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.
11 Ɛberɛ a nnipa no hunuu sɛ ɔbarima no ne Petro ne Yohane nam no, wɔn ho dwirii wɔn; enti wɔtuu mmirika kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn, wɔ baabi a wɔfrɛ no Salomo Abrannaa no so hɔ.
And while he kept fast hold of Peter and John, all the people ran together to them, exceedingly astonished, in the portico called Solomon's.
12 Ɛberɛ a Petro hunuu nnipadɔm no no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Israelfoɔ, adɛn na yei yɛ mo nwanwa? Adɛn enti na mohwɛ yɛn, susu sɛ yɛnam yɛn tumi anaa yɛn som pa so na asa ɔbarima yi yadeɛ?
And Peter, seeing this, answered the people, Israelites, why do you wonder at this? or why do you fix your eyes on us, as if by our own power, or piety, we had made this man to walk?
13 Abraham, Isak ne Yakob Onyankopɔn ne yɛn nananom Onyankopɔn ama ne ɔsomfoɔ Yesu ɔsoro animuonyam. Mode no maa atumfoɔ; na ɛberɛ a Pilato yɛɛ sɛ ɔbɛgyaa no no mpo, mopoo no wɔ nʼanim.
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus, whom you delivered up, and rejected in the presence of Pilate, when he was desirous to release him:
14 Na ɔyɛ Kronkron, ɔtene; nanso mopoo no na mosrɛɛ Pilato sɛ ɔmfa odwotwafoɔ mma mo.
but you rejected the Holy and Righteous One, and desired a murderer to be granted to you;
15 Enti, mokumm obi a ɔgye nnipa kɔ nkwa mu. Nanso, Onyankopɔn nyanee no firii awufoɔ mu na yɛyɛ yei ho adansefoɔ.
and killed the Prince of Life, whom God has raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses;
16 Tumi a ɛwɔ ne din mu no na ɛmaa saa obubuafoɔ yi nyaa ahoɔden. Gyidie a yɛwɔ wɔ ne din mu no na ɛmaa yɛtumi yɛɛ saa anwanwadeɛ a mohunu yi. Gyidie a yɛwɔ wɔ Yesu din mu no na ama ne ho atɔ no a ɔgyina mo anim seesei yi.
and his name, through faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom ye see and know; yes, the faith which is by him, has given him this perfect soundness, in the presence of you all.
17 “Afei, me nuanom, menim sɛ deɛ mo ne mo mpanimfoɔ yɛɛ Yesu no, na ɔnim na monnim.
And now, brethren, I know that through ignorance you did it, as did also your rulers;
18 Tete no, Onyankopɔn nam nʼadiyifoɔ so kaa sɛ Agyenkwa no bɛhunu amane. Na ɔnam saa ɛkwan yi so maa ɛbaa mu.
but those things which God foretold, by the mouth of all his prophets, that the Messiah should suffer, he has thus fulfilled.
19 Monnu mo ho na monni Onyankopɔn akyi, na ɔde mo bɔne akyɛ mo,
Reform, therefore, and return to God, that so your sins may be blotted out; that seasons of refreshment may come from the presence of the Lord,
20 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Awurade Honhom mu ahoɔden bɛba na wasoma Yesu a ɔyɛ Agyenkwa no a wayi no ama mo dada no.
and that he may send Jesus Christ, who was before designed for you:
21 Sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn nam nʼadiyifoɔ kronkron so aka dada no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtena ɔsoro kɔsi sɛ nneɛma nyinaa bɛyɛ foforɔ. (aiōn g165)
whom, indeed, heaven must retain till the time of the accomplishment of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets, from the beginning of time. (aiōn g165)
22 Na Mose kaa sɛ, ‘Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn bɛsoma odiyifoɔ aba mo nkyɛn sɛdeɛ ɔsomaa me a mefiri mo mu no. Ɛsɛ sɛ motie asɛm biara a ɔbɛka akyerɛ mo.
Moses truly said, to the fathers, "A prophet like me shall the Lord your God raise up for you, from among your brethren; him shall you obey in all things, whatsoever he shall say to you:
23 Obiara a wantie deɛ odiyifoɔ no bɛka no, wɔbɛyi no afiri Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ ho na wɔasɛe no.’
and it shall come to pass, that every soul who will not obey that prophet, shall be cut off from among the people."
24 “Samuel ne adiyifoɔ a akyire no wɔbaeɛ no nyinaa nso aka asɛm a asi ɛnnɛ yi ho asɛm pɛn.
Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel, and those that succeeded, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days.
25 Onyankopɔn bɔ a ɔnam adiyifoɔ so hyɛeɛ no yɛ mo dea. Saa ara nso na mowɔ kyɛfa wɔ apam a Onyankopɔn ne mo agyanom pameeɛ no mu. Sɛdeɛ ɔka kyerɛɛ Abraham sɛ, ‘Wʼasefoɔ so na menam mɛhyira ewiasefoɔ nyinaa.’
You are the children of the prophets, and of the institution which God instituted with our fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in your see shall all the families of the earth be blessed."
26 Enti, Onyankopɔn dii ɛkan yii ne ɔsomfoɔ somaa no baa mo nkyɛn sɛ ɔmmɛdom mo na mo nyinaa nnane mfiri mo akwammɔne no so.”
To you, first, God, having raised up his Son, has sent him to bless you; in turning every one of you, from your iniquities.
