Acts 11
1 Nowe the Apostles and the brethren that were in Iudea, heard, that the Gentiles had also receiued the worde of God.
Asomafo ne agyidifo a wɔwɔ Yudea nyinaa tee sɛ amanamanmufo no nso agye Onyankopɔn asɛm no adi.
2 And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they of the circumcision contended against him,
Petro kɔɔ Yerusalem no, Yudafo agyidifo no ne no nyaa akasakasa kae se,
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, and hast eaten with them.
“Woakɔ wɔn a wɔnnyɛ twetiatwafo no nkyɛn ne wɔn akodidi.”
4 Then Peter beganne, and expounded the thing in order to them, saying,
Petro bɔɔ wɔn biribiara a esii no ho amanneɛ se,
5 I was in the citie of Ioppa, praying, and in a trance I sawe this vision, A certaine vessell comming downe as it had bene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by the foure corners, and it came to me.
“Na merebɔ mpae wɔ Yopa na minyaa anisoadehu. Mihuu biribi a ɛte sɛ ntama kɛse a wɔakyekyere sɛ efi ɔsoro afanan resian ba fam wɔ faako a mewɔ no.
6 Towarde the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawe foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes, and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
Mehwɛɛ mu no, mihuu ntɔteboa ahorow, mmoa a wɔwea ne wuram nnomaa.
7 Also I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise, Peter: slay and eate.
Afei, nne bi ka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Petro! Sɔre! Kum na we!’
8 And I said, God forbid, Lord: for nothing polluted or vncleane hath at any time entred into my mouth.
“Mibuae se, ‘Dabi da, Awurade! Minnii biribiara a ɛho ntew da.’
9 But the voyce answered me the seconde time from heauen, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
“Nne no ka kyerɛɛ me bio se, ‘Biribiara a Onyankopɔn atew ho no, nka se ɛho ntew.’
10 And this was done three times, and all were taken vp againe into heauen.
Saa anisoadehu yi baa mprɛnsa, na ɛsan kɔɔ ɔsoro.
11 Then behold, immediatly there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me.
“Saa bere no ara mu, nnipa baasa a wɔasoma wɔn fi Kaesarea no beduu ofi a na mete mu no mu.
12 And the Spirit saide vnto me, that I should go with them, without doubting: moreouer these sixe brethren came with me, and we entred into the mans house.
Honhom Kronkron ka kyerɛɛ me se menntwentwɛn me nan ase na me ne wɔn nkɔ. Saa agyidifo baasa yi a wofi Yopa no kaa me ho kɔɔ Kaesarea ma yɛn nyinaa kɔɔ Kornelio fi.
13 And he shewed vs, howe he had seene an Angel in his house, which stoode and said to him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
Ɔkaa sɛnea ohuu ɔsoro ɔbɔfo wɔ ne fi ma ɔbɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Soma kɔ Yopa kɔfrɛ ɔbarima bi a ne din de Simon Petro no.
14 He shall speake wordes vnto thee, whereby both thou and all thine house shalbe saued.
Ɔno na ɔbɛka nsɛm a ebegye wo ne wo fifo nyinaa nkwa akyerɛ mo.’
15 And as I began to speake, the holy Ghost fell on them, euen as vpon vs at the beginning.
“Bere a mifii ase kasae no, Honhom Kronkron baa wɔn so sɛnea yɛn nso mfiase no, ɛbaa yɛn so no ara pɛ.
16 Then I remembred the word of the Lord, howe he said, Iohn baptized with water, but ye shalbe baptized with the holy Ghost.
Ɛhɔ ara mekaee asɛm a Awurade kae se, ‘Yohane de nsu na ɛbɔɔ asu na mo de, wɔde Honhom Kronkron na ɛbɛbɔ mo asu’ no.
17 For as much then as God gaue them a like gift, as he did vnto vs, when we beleeued in the Lord Iesus Christ, who was I, that I coulde let God?
Sɛ Onyankopɔn ama wɔn akyɛde a bere a yegyee Awurade Yesu Kristo dii no ɔmaa yɛn bi no a, ɛno de me sɛɛ ne hena a mesiw Onyankopɔn kwan.”
18 When they heard these things, they helde their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles graunted repentance vnto life.
Wɔtee saa asɛm yi no, wogyaee wɔn nsɛmmisa no yii Awurade ayɛ se, “Afei de Onyankopɔn ama ho kwan ama amanamanmufo anya adwensakra a ɛde wɔn bɛkɔ nkwagye mu.”
19 And they which were scattered abroade because of the affliction that arose about Steuen, went throughout till they came vnto Phenice and Cyprus, and Antiochia, preaching the worde to no man, but vnto the Iewes onely.
Wokum Stefano no, wɔtaa agyidifo no ma wɔbɔɔ ahwete. Wɔn mu bi kyinkyin koduu Foinike, ne Kipro, ne Antiokia a na wɔreka asɛmpa no kyerɛ Yudafo nko ara.
20 Now some of them were men of Cyprus and of Cyrene, which when they were come into Antiochia, spake vnto the Grecians, and preached the Lord Iesus.
Agyidifo bi a wofi Kipro ne Kirene kɔɔ Antiokia kɔkaa asɛmpa a ɛfa Awurade Yesu Kristo ho no kyerɛɛ amanamanmufo no.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, so that a great number beleeued and turned vnto the Lord.
Esiane sɛ na Awurade ka wɔn ho no nti nnipa pii gyee asɛm no dii ma wɔdan baa Awurade nkyɛn.
22 Then tydings of those things came vnto the eares of the Church, which was in Hierusalem, and they sent foorth Barnabas, that he should goe vnto Antiochia.
Saa asɛm yi trɛw koduu Yerusalem asafo no mu nti wɔsomaa Barnaba kɔɔ Antiokia.
23 Who when he was come and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted all, that with purpose of heart they would continue in the Lord.
Oduu hɔ a ohuu sɛnea Onyankopɔn ahyira wɔn no, nʼani gye ma ɔhyɛɛ wɔn nkuran se womfi wɔn koma nyinaa mu nnye Awurade nni na wonni no nokware nso.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the holy Ghost, and faith, and much people ioyned them selues vnto the Lord.
Esiane sɛ na Barnaba yɛ onipa pa a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma na ɔwɔ gyidi nti, ɛmaa nnipa bebree nam ne so de wɔn ho maa Awurade.
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus to seeke Saul:
Barnaba kɔɔ Tarso kɔhwehwɛɛ Saulo.
26 And when he had founde him, he brought him vnto Antiochia: and it came to passe that a whole yere they were conuersant with ye Church, and taught much people, in so much that the disciples were first called Christians in Antiochia.
Ohuu no no, ɔde no baa Antiokia. Wɔn baanu tenaa hɔ afe kyerɛkyerɛɛ nnipa bebree. Antiokia ha na wɔtoo asuafo no din se “Kristofo.”
27 In those dayes also came Prophets from Hierusalem vnto Antiochia.
Saa bere koro no ara mu na adiyifo bi fi Yerusalem kɔɔ Antiokia.
28 And there stoode vp one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be great famine throughout all the world, which also came to passe vnder Claudius Cesar.
Wɔn mu baako a wɔfrɛ no Agabo a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no sɔre gyina hyɛɛ nkɔm se ɔkɔm kɛse bɛba asase nyinaa so. Saa ɔkɔm yi sii bere a na Klaudio di ade no.
29 Then the disciples, euery man according to his ability, purposed to sende succour vnto the brethren which dwelt in Iudea.
Asuafo no yɛɛ adwene sɛ biribiara a obi wɔ no wɔde bɛba na wɔde akɔboa anuanom a wɔwɔ Yudea no.
30 Which thing they also did, and sent it to the Elders, by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Wɔde akyɛde a wɔn nsa kae no somaa Barnaba ne Saulo ma wɔde kɔmaa asafo no mu mpanyimfo.
