Acts 14
1 In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
Paulo ne Barnaba duruu Ikoniom no, wɔkɔɔ Yudafoɔ asɔredan mu. Wɔkasa ma Yudafoɔ ne amanamanmufoɔ bebree bɛyɛɛ agyidifoɔ.
2 But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
Nanso, Yudafoɔ a wɔpoo Awurade asɛm no hwanyan amanamanmufoɔ no, sane tuu wɔn aso tiaa anuanom no.
3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
Asomafoɔ no tenaa hɔ kyɛreeɛ. Na Awurade nam tumi a ɔde maa wɔn ma wɔyɛɛ anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ no so kyerɛɛ sɛ nsɛm a wɔka fa nʼadom ho no yɛ nokorɛ.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.
Kuro no mu nnipa no mu kyɛɛ mmienu; ɛfa kɔɔ Yudafoɔ no afa na ɛfa nso kɔɔ asomafoɔ no afa.
5 When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
Amanamanmufoɔ ne Yudafoɔ no ne wɔn mpanimfoɔ yɛɛ adwene sɛ wɔbɛyɛ wɔn ayayadeɛ, asane asi wɔn aboɔ.
6 they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
Asomafoɔ no tee pɔ a wɔbɔ faa wɔn ho no, wɔdwane kɔɔ Listra ne Derbe a ɛwɔ Likaoniaman mu ne nkuraa a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa ase.
7 There they preached the Good News.
Wɔkaa Asɛmpa no wɔ hɔ.
8 At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
Ɛberɛ a Paulo ne Barnaba wɔ Listra no, wɔhunuu ɔbarima bi a na ɔyɛ obubuafoɔ firi nʼawoɔ mu.
9 He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
Paulo rekasa no, obubuafoɔ no tiee no maa Paulo hunuu sɛ ɔwɔ gyidie a ɛbɛma watumi agyina so asa no yadeɛ. Enti Paulo hwɛɛ obubuafoɔ no
10 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.
teaam sɛ, “Sɔre gyina hɔ!” Amonom, obubuafoɔ yi huri gyinaeɛ, hyɛɛ aseɛ nanteeɛ.
11 When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
Nnipa no hunuu deɛ Paulo ayɛ no, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ teateaam wɔ Likaonia kasa mu sɛ, “Anyame ayeyɛ wɔn ho sɛ nnipa aba yɛn nkyɛn.”
12 They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
Yei enti wɔfrɛɛ Barnaba Seus ɛnna wɔfrɛɛ Paulo nso Hermes, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na na ɔka asɛm no.
13 The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
Seus a na nʼasɔredan wɔ kurotia no ɔsɔfoɔ de nantwie ne nhwiren baa kuro no ɛpono ano, pɛɛ sɛ wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ma asomafoɔ no.
14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,
Ɛberɛ a Barnaba ne Paulo tee afɔdeɛ a nnipa no pɛ sɛ wɔbɔ no, wɔde abufuo sunsuanee wɔn ntadeɛ mu, tuu mmirika kɔɔ nnipakuo no mu teateaam sɛ,
15 “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
“Ɛdeɛn na mopɛ sɛ moyɛ yi? Yɛyɛ nnipa te sɛ mo! Yɛaba sɛ yɛrebɛka asɛmpa no akyerɛ mo, ama moagyae saa nneɛma hunu yi yɛ, na mode mo ho ama Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro, asase, ɛpo ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu.
16 who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
Ɛberɛ bi a atwa mu no, ɔmaa nnipa nyinaa kwan maa wɔyɛɛ deɛ wɔpɛ.
17 Yet he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
Nanso, Onyankopɔn nam nneɛma pa a ɔyɛ so di nʼankasa ho adanseɛ. Mmerɛ a ɛsɛ mu no, ɔma osuo tɔ, ma nnɔbaeɛ ba; ɔma mo aduane di, ma monya ahotɔ.”
18 Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.
Nanso, saa kasa yi nyinaa akyi no, pɛ ara na nnipa no pɛɛ sɛ wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ma wɔn.
19 But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
Yudafoɔ bi firi Antiokia a ɛwɔ Pisidia ne Ikoniom tuu nnipa no aso maa wɔsii Paulo aboɔ, twee no firii kuro no mu; na wɔsusu sɛ wawu.
20 But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
Nanso, ɛberɛ a agyidifoɔ no bɛtwaa ne ho hyiaeɛ no, ɔsɔre sane kɔɔ kuro no mu. Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, ɔne Barnaba firii hɔ kɔɔ Derbe.
21 When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
Paulo ne Barnaba kaa asɛmpa no wɔ Derbe maa nnipa pii gye diiɛ. Wɔfiri hɔ no, wɔsane kɔɔ Listra, Ikoniom ne Antiokia a ɛwɔ Pisidia.
22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
Wɔhyɛɛ agyidifoɔ no nkuran sɛ wɔntena ase gyidie mu. Wɔka kyerɛɛ agyidifoɔ yi sɛ, “Ansa na yɛbɛtumi akɔ Onyankopɔn Ahennie mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛfa ɔhaw ahodoɔ pii mu.”
23 When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.
Asafo biara a wɔkɔɔ mu no, wɔsisii mpanimfoɔ maa wɔn; na wɔnam mpaeɛbɔ ne mmuadadie so de mpanimfoɔ no hyɛɛ Awurade a wɔde wɔn ho ato no so no nsa.
24 They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
Wɔfiri Pisidia no, wɔbaa Pamfilia.
25 When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
Wɔkaa asɛmpa no wɔ Perge, na wɔfiri hɔ baa Atalia.
26 From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
Wɔfiri Atalia no, wɔsane baa Antiokia a ɛhɔ na ɛberɛ a na wɔrebɛfiri saa adwuma a wɔawie yi ase no, wɔde wɔn hyɛɛ Awurade adom nsa no.
27 When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
Ɛberɛ a wɔduruu Antiokia no, wɔhyiaa asafo no mu nnipa nyinaa. Wɔkaa nneɛma a Onyankopɔn nam wɔn so ayɛ, ne sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn abue ɛkwan ama amanamanmufoɔ agye asɛm no adi no nyinaa kyerɛɛ wɔn.
28 They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
Paulo ne Barnaba tenaa agyidifoɔ no nkyɛn kyɛreeɛ.
