1 Ɛda bi Petro ne Yohane kɔɔ asɔredan mu awia nnɔnmiɛnsa a ɛyɛ ɛberɛ a wɔde bɔ mpaeɛ.
Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, at three in the afternoon.
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.
A certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they put daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask gifts for the needy of those who entered into the temple.
3 Ɛberɛ a ɔhunuu sɛ Petro ne Yohane rekɔ mu no, ɔsrɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmma no biribi.
Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive gifts for the needy.
4 Wɔhwɛɛ nʼanim dinn na Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Hwɛ yɛn!”
Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, "Look at us."
5 Ɔhwɛɛ wɔn susuu sɛ wɔbɛma no biribi.
He listened to 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 have I none, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, get 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.
He took him by the right hand, and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength.
8 Ɔhuri gyinaa ne nan so, na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ nanteeɛ. Afei, ɔne wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ asɔredan no mu a ɔrehurihuri, rekamfo Onyankopɔn.
Leaping up, he stood, and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 Nnipa no nyinaa hunuu no sɛ ɔnam reyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ.
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.
They recognized him, that it was he who used to sit begging for gifts for the needy at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at what 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 as he held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
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?
When Peter saw it, he responded to the people, "You men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Why do you fasten your eyes on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made him 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, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
14 Na ɔyɛ Kronkron, ɔtene; nanso mopoo no na mosrɛɛ Pilato sɛ ɔmfa odwotwafoɔ mma mo.
But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a man who was 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 Originator of life, whom God raised from the dead, to 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.
By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through 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.
"Now, brothers, I know that you did this in ignorance, 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 the things which God announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that the Christ should suffer, he thus fulfilled.
19 Monnu mo ho na monni Onyankopɔn akyi, na ɔde mo bɔne akyɛ mo,
"Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing 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, the Christ who was ordained for you before,
21 Sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn nam nʼadiyifoɔ kronkron so aka dada no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtena ɔsoro kɔsi sɛ nneɛma nyinaa bɛyɛ foforɔ. (aiōn g165)
whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets. (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.
For Moses indeed said to the fathers, 'The Lord your God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me. You must listen to him in all things whatever he says to you.
23 Obiara a wantie deɛ odiyifoɔ no bɛka no, wɔbɛyi no afiri Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ ho na wɔasɛe no.’
It will be, that every soul that will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed 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 who followed after, as many as have spoken, they also told of 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 covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And through your offspring all the families of the earth will 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.”
God, having raised up his Servant, sent him to you first, to bless you, in turning away everyone of you from your wickedness."
