Asomafoɔ 3
1 Ɛda bi Petro ne Yohane kɔɔ asɔredan mu awia nnɔnmiɛnsa a ɛyɛ ɛberɛ a wɔde bɔ mpaeɛ.
And Peter and John were going up together to the temple, at the hour of prayer, which is 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 lame from his birth was carried along, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who entered 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, asked alms.
4 Wɔhwɛɛ nʼanim dinn na Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Hwɛ yɛn!”
And Peter fixing his eyes upon him, with John, said, Look upon us.
5 Ɔhwɛɛ wɔn susuu sɛ wɔbɛma no biribi.
And he gave heed 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!”
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but what I have I give thee. 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 grasping him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and ankles received strength.
8 Ɔhuri gyinaa ne nan so, na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ nanteeɛ. Afei, ɔne wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ asɔredan no mu a ɔrehurihuri, rekamfo Onyankopɔn.
And leaping forth he stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping, 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 recognized him as the man that sat for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they 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 as he held fast 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?
But Peter seeing it, answered the people: Men of Israel, why wonder ye at this? Or why look ye earnestly on us, as though by our own power or godliness 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 Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye indeed delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him.
14 Na ɔyɛ Kronkron, ɔtene; nanso mopoo no na mosrɛɛ Pilato sɛ ɔmfa odwotwafoɔ mma mo.
But ye denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a murderer should 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.
But the author of life ye killed; whom God raised from the dead, whereof 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, made this man strong, whom ye see and know; yea, the faith which is through him gave 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 ye acted 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 God thus fulfilled what he had before announced by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.
19 Monnu mo ho na monni Onyankopɔn akyi, na ɔde mo bɔne akyɛ mo,
Repent therefore and turn from your ways, that your sins may be blotted out, in order that the times of refreshing 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 forth Christ Jesus, who was before appointed 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 heaven indeed must receive until the times of a restoration of all things; of which times God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from the days of old. (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 indeed said, “A prophet will the Lord your God raise up to you from among your brethren, as be raised up me; him shall ye hear in all things, whatever he shall speak 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 which doth not hear that prophet shall 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.
And all the prophets also, Samuel and those who followed, as many as spoke, announced 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.’
Ye are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, “And in thy posterity 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 servant, sent him to bless you in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.
