Acts 10
1 And there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, a centurion of that which is called the Italian band;
Ɔbarima bi tenaa Kaesarea a ne din de Kornelio. Na ɔyɛ Roma asraafo bi a wɔn din de Italia Asraafodɔm no so panyin.
2 A religious man, and fearing God with all his house, giving much alms to the people, and always praying to God.
Na ɔne ne fifo nyinaa yɛ Nyamesurofo. Ɔyɛ obi a na ɔboa ahiafo na daa ɔbɔ mpae nso.
3 This man saw in a vision manifestly, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in unto him, and saying to him: Cornelius.
Da bi awia bɛyɛ nnɔnabiɛsa na ohuu Onyankopɔn bɔfo wɔ anisoadehu mu se waba ne nkyɛn abɛfrɛ no se, “Kornelio!”
4 And he, beholding him, being seized with fear, said: What is it, Lord? And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.
Kornelio de hu hwɛɛ no dinn. Obisae se, “Ɛyɛ dɛn Awurade?” Ɔbɔfo no buae se, “Wo mpae ne wʼadɔe a woyɛ ahiafo no adu Onyankopɔn anim sɛ nkae ade.
5 And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:
Soma nnipa na wɔnkɔ Yopa nkɔfa ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Simon Petro mmra.
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.
Ɔte ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Simon a ɔhyɛ mmoa nhoma aduru a ne fi bɛn mpoano no nkyɛn.”
7 And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.
Ɔbɔfo no kasa kyerɛɛ no wiee a ɔkɔe no, Kornelio frɛɛ nʼasomfo baanu, san frɛɛ nʼasraafo no mu baako a ɔyɛ Onyamesuroni kaa wɔn ho,
8 To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.
kaa biribiara a wahu no kyerɛɛ wɔn somaa wɔn Yopa.
9 And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
Ade kyee a wɔrekɔ no, ɛbɛyɛ owigyinae a wɔrebɛn kurow no na Petro kɔɔ ɔdan a ɔte mu no atifi kɔbɔɔ mpae.
10 And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.
Saa bere no, na ɔkɔm de no a wogu so reyɛ aduan ama no na ɔkɔɔ tebea bi a ɛte sɛ adaeso mu.
11 And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:
Ohuu sɛ ɔsoro abue na biribi a ɛte sɛ ntama kɛse a wɔakyekyere fi ɔsoro afanan resian ba fam.
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.
Na ntɔteboa ahorow ne mmoa a wɔwea ne wuram nnomaa ahyɛ saa ntama no ma.
13 And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
Afei nne bi ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Petro, sɔre na kum bi we!”
14 But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.
Petro buae se, “Dabi da, Awurade, minnii biribiara a ɛho ntew da.”
15 And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.
Nne no ka kyerɛɛ no bio se, “Biribiara a Onyankopɔn atew ho no, nka se ɛho ntew.”
16 And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.
Saa anisoadehu yi baa mprɛnsa. Afei ntama no san kɔɔ ɔsoro.
17 Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon’s house, stood at the gate.
Saa bere a na Petro redwinnwen anisoadehu no ho no, nnipa a Kornelio somaa wɔn no koduu Petro abobow ano.
18 And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
Wɔfrɛ bisae se, “Saa ofi yi mu na Simon Petro te no ana?”
19 And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.
Petro gu so redwinnwen anisoadehu no ho no, Honhom Kronkron ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Simon, mmarima baasa bi rehwehwɛ wo.
20 Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
Sian si fam. Ntwentwɛn wo nan ase na wo ne wɔn nkɔ, efisɛ me na masoma wɔn.”
21 Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?
Petro sian kɔɔ fam kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mene onipa a morehwehwɛ no no, na mo amanneɛ?”
22 Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
Nnipa no buaa no se, “Yefi asraafo panyin Kornelio nkyɛn. Ɔyɛ ɔtreneeni ne Onyamesuroni a Yudafo nyinaa bu no. Onyankopɔn bɔfo ka kyerɛɛ no se ɔnsoma mfrɛ wo mmra ne fi na ontie asɛm bi mfi wo nkyɛn.”
23 Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.
Petro gyee nnipa no, som wɔn hɔho. Ade kyee no, Petro ne nnipa no ne agyidifo bi a wofi Yopa bɔɔ anan kɔe.
24 And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.
Ade kyee a oduu Kaesarea no, na Kornelio afrɛfrɛ nʼabusuafo ne ne nnamfonom ahyia retwɛn no.
25 And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored.
Petro reyɛ awura fie hɔ no, Kornelio hyiaa no, buu no nkotodwe.
26 But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.
Nanso Petro ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɔre, efisɛ me nso meyɛ onipa sɛ wo ara.”
27 And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
Petro ne Kornelio gu so rekasa no, wowuraa ofi no mu kɔtoo nnipa bebree.
28 And he said to them: You know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo ara munim pefee sɛ Yudafo mmara mma Yudani kwan sɛ ɔkɔsra amanamanmuni anaasɛ ɔde ne ho bɔ no. Nanso Onyankopɔn akyerɛ me sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ meka sɛ onipa bi ho ntew.
29 For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?
Eyi nti na mosoma bɛfrɛɛ me no mantwentwɛn me nan ase no. Afei kyerɛ me nea enti a wosoma bɛfrɛɛ me no.”
30 And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:
Kornelio kae se, “Nnɛ ne nnaanan awia nnɔnabiɛsa a merebɔ mpae wɔ me fi no, mihuu sɛ ɔbarima bi a ɔhyɛ atade a ɛhyerɛn gyina mʼanim.
31 Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
Ɔkae se, ‘Kornelio, wo mpaebɔ ne wʼadɔe a woyɛ ahiafo no adu Onyankopɔn anim sɛ nkae ade.
32 Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.
Soma nnipa na wɔnkɔ Yopa nkɔfa ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Simon Petro no mmra. Ɔte ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Simon a ɔhyɛ mmoa nhoma aduru a ne fi bɛn mpoano no nkyɛn.’
33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.
Mesoma ma wɔbɛfrɛɛ wo, na wo nso woayɛ ade sɛ woaba. Mprempren, yɛn nyinaa ahyia wɔ Onyankopɔn din mu rebetie asɛm biara a Awurade ahyɛ wo sɛ ka kyerɛ yɛn no.”
34 And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.
Petro fii ase kasae se, “Afei mahu sɛ ɛyɛ nokware sɛ Onyankopɔn nyɛ nyiyimu,
35 But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.
na mmom ɔman biara mu, nea ɔyɛ ade trenee no ogye no.
36 God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)
Munim asɛmpa a ɛfa asomdwoe ho a ɛnam yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo a ɔyɛ nnipa nyinaa Awurade no so de brɛɛ Israelfo no.
37 You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,
Munim nsɛm a esisii wɔ Yudea, a efii ase wɔ Galilea, Yohane asubɔ ho asɛnka no akyi.
38 Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
Munim sɛnea Onyankopɔn de Honhom Kronkron ne tumi maa Yesu Nasareni no. Esiane sɛ Onyankopɔn ka ne ho no nti ɔkɔɔ mmeaemmeae, yɛɛ papa, saa wɔn a ɔbonsam afa wɔn no yare.
39 And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.
“Yɛyɛ dwuma a odii wɔ Yudaman mu ne Yerusalem no ho nnansefo. Wɔbɔɔ no asennua mu kum no.
40 Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,
Nanso ne nnansa so no, Onyankopɔn ma ɔsɔre fii awufo mu ma okoyii ne ho adi.
41 Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again from the dead;
Wanyi ne ho adi ankyerɛ nnipa nyinaa sɛ yɛn a yɛyɛ nnansefo a Onyankopɔn ayi yɛn dedaw no. Ɔsɔre fii awufo mu no, yɛne no didi nomee.
42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of the dead.
Na ɔhyɛɛ yɛn sɛ, yɛnka asɛmpa no nkyerɛ nnipa nyinaa, na yenni ne ho adanse sɛ, ɔno ne nea Onyankopɔn ayi no asi hɔ sɛ ommu ateasefo ne awufo atɛn no.
43 To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.
Adiyifo nyinaa kaa ne ho asɛm se, wɔnam ne din so de obiara a ogye no di no bɔne bɛkyɛ no.”
44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.
Petro gu so rekasa no, Honhom Kronkron baa wɔn a wɔretie asɛm no nyinaa so.
45 And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.
Yudafo agyidifo a wɔne Petro fi Yopa bae no ho dwiriw wɔn sɛ Onyankopɔn ahwie nʼakyɛde a ɛyɛ Honhom Kronkron no agu amanamanmufo no nso so.
46 For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.
Efisɛ wɔtee sɛ wɔreka kasa foforo reyi Onyankopɔn ayɛ wɔ ne kɛseyɛ ho. Petro kae se,
47 Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?
“Saa nnipa yi anya Honhom Kronkron sɛnea yɛn nso yenyaa bi no. Obi betumi asiw wɔn asubɔ ho kwan ana?”
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then they desired him to tarry with them some days.
Petro hyɛɛ sɛ wɔmmɔ wɔn asu wɔ Yesu Kristo din mu. Afei wɔsrɛɛ no sɛ onni nna kakra wɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
