Acts 1
1 The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Mʼadamfo pa Teofilo, me nhoma a edi kan a mekyerɛw wo no mu no, mekaa Yesu nnwuma a ɔyɛe ne ne nkyerɛkyerɛ
2 until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
kosi bere a Onyankopɔn bɛfaa no kɔɔ ɔsoro no ho asɛm. Ansa na wɔrebɛfa no akɔ ɔsoro no, ɔnam Honhom Kronkron tumi so kyerɛkyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no.
3 To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about God’s Kingdom.
Ne wusɔre akyi no, ɔtenaa asase so adaduanan, yii ne ho adi mpɛn pii kyerɛɛ nʼasuafo no de kyerɛɛ wɔn se, ampa, ɔte ase. Ɔkaa Onyankopɔn ahenni ho asɛm nso kyerɛɛ wɔn.
4 Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
Da bi a ɔne wɔn redidi no ɔhyɛɛ wɔn se, “Mummfi Yerusalem, na montwɛn akyɛde a mʼAgya ahyɛ mo ho bɔ a maka ho asɛm akyerɛ mo no.
5 For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
Yohane de, ɔde nsu na ɛbɔɔ asu, nanso mo de ɛrenkyɛ, wɔde Honhom Kronkron no bɛbɔ mo asu.”
6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”
Asuafo no nyinaa ne Yesu hyiaa mu no, wobisaa no se, “Awurade, bere yi mu na wode ahenni no bɛba Israel ana?”
7 He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Ɛho nhia sɛ mubehu bere a Agya no nam ne tumi so ahyehyɛ ato hɔ no.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
Na sɛ Honhom Kronkron no ba mo so a, mubenya tumi na moayɛ me nnansefo wɔ Yerusalem ne Yudea nyinaa ne Samaria de kosi asase ano.”
9 When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Ɔkasa wiee no asuafo no huu no sɛ ɔnam omununkum mu rekɔ ɔsoro na wɔanhu no bio.
10 While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing,
Wogu so rehwɛ wim no, amono mu hɔ ara mmarima baanu bi a wɔhyehyɛ ntade fitafitaa begyinaa wɔn nkyɛn,
11 who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”
kae se, “Mo mmarima a mufi Galilea, adɛn nti na mugyina ha rehwɛ wim? Yesu a wɔafa no afi mo nkyɛn kɔ ɔsoro no, sɛnea osi kɔɔ ɔsoro no, saa ara na ɔbɛsan aba.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
Eyi akyi no, asuafo no fii Ngo Bepɔw no so baa Yerusalem. Efi Ngo Bepɔw no so ba Yerusalem no bɛyɛ kilomita baako ne fa.
13 When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
Woduu hɔ no, wɔkɔɔ ɔdan bi a na ɛwɔ aban a na wɔte so mu. Nnipa a na wɔwɔ hɔ no ne: Petro, Yohane, Yakobo ne Andrea; Filipo, Toma, Bartolomeo, Mateo, Alfeo ba Yakobo, Simon Seloteni ne Yakobo ba Yuda.
14 All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Na saa asuafo yi nyinaa taa ne mmea bi te sɛ Yesu ne na Maria ne Yesu nuabarimanom hyia bɔ mpae.
15 In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
Nna kakraa bi akyi no gyidifo no a wɔn dodow bɛyɛ sɛ ɔha aduonu no hyiae na Petro sɔre kasae se:
16 “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
Me nuanom, ɛsɛ sɛ nkɔm a Honhom Kronkron no nam Dawid so hyɛ faa Yuda ho sɛ ɛnam ne so na wɔbɛkyere Yesu no ba mu.
17 For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
Yɛn a Yesu yii yɛn no, na Yuda nso ka yɛn ho wɔ ɔsom no mu.
18 Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.
(Sika a Yuda nya fii ade bɔne a ɔyɛe no mu no, wɔde tɔɔ asase wɔ faako a owui hɔ. Ɔtew bɛhwee fam ma ne mu pae maa ne nsono tu guu so.
19 It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
Nnipa a na wɔte Yerusalem nyinaa tee saa asɛm no, wɔtoo asase no din wɔ wɔn ankasa kasa mu se Hekeldama a nkyerɛase ne, Mogya Asase.)
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
Petro toaa so kae se, “Wɔakyerɛw wɔ Dawid nhoma mu se, “‘Ne fi nyɛ amamfo, na ɔfoforo nsi nʼanan mu.’
21 “Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Enti ɛsɛ sɛ yeyi nnipa a yɛne wɔn nantew bere a na Yesu ne yɛn di akɔneaba no nyinaa,
22 beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
fi Yohane asubɔ adwuma no so de kosi bere a wɔfaa Yesu fii yɛn nkyɛn kɔɔ ɔsoro no, efisɛ ɛsɛ sɛ saa nnipa no mu baako bɛka yɛn ho ne yɛn di Yesu wusɔre no ho adanse.”
23 They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
Woyii nnipa baanu. Ɔbaako din de Yosef a na wɔfrɛ no Barsaba, na wɔtaa frɛ no Yusto nso. Nea na ɔka ho no nso din de Matia.
24 They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
Afei asuafo no bɔɔ mpae se, “Awurade, wunim obiara koma mu. Ɛno nti kyerɛ yɛn nnipa baanu yi mu nea woayi no
25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
sɛ ommesi Yuda a wanya ne baabi kɔ no anan mu mmɛyɛ asomafodwuma no.”
26 They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.
Afei asuafo no bɔɔ wɔn so ntonto maa esii Matia. Enti wɔfaa no kaa asomafo dubaako no ho.
