Acts 1
1 In the former treatise (Deare frende Theophilus) I have written of all that Iesus beganne to do and teache
Mʼadamfo pa Teofilo, me nwoma a ɛdi ɛkan a metwerɛɛ wo no mu no, mekaa Yesu nnwuma a ɔyɛeɛ ne ne nkyerɛkyerɛ
2 vntyll the daye in the which he was taken vp after that he thorowe the holy goost had geven commaundementes vnto the Apostles which he had chosen:
kɔsi ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn bɛfaa no kɔɔ ɔsoro no ho asɛm. Ansa na wɔrebɛfa no akɔ ɔsoro no, ɔnam Honhom Kronkron tumi so kyerɛkyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no.
3 to whom also he shewed him selfe alyve after his passion by many tokens apperynge vnto them fourty dayes and speakynge of the kyngdome of god
Ne wusɔreɛ akyi, ɔtenaa asase so adaduanan, yii ne ho adi mpɛn pii kyerɛɛ nʼasuafoɔ no de kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, ampa, ɔte ase. Ɔkaa Onyankopɔn Ahennie ho asɛm nso kyerɛɛ wɔn.
4 and gaddered them togeder and commaunded the that they shuld not departe from Ierusalem: but to wayte for ye promys of the father whereof ye have herde of me.
Ɛda bi a ɔne wɔn redidi no, ɔhyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mommfiri Yerusalem, na montwɛn akyɛdeɛ a mʼAgya ahyɛ mo ho bɔ a maka ho asɛm akyerɛ mo no.
5 For Iohn baptised wt water: but ye shalbe baptised with the holy goost and that with in this feawe dayes.
Yohane de, ɔde nsuo na ɛbɔɔ asu, nanso mo de ɛrenkyɛre, wɔde Honhom Kronkron no bɛbɔ mo asu.”
6 When they were come togeder they axed of him sayinge: Lorde wilt thou at this tyme restore agayne ye kyngdome to Israel?
Asuafoɔ no nyinaa ne Yesu hyiaa mu no, wɔbisaa no sɛ, “Awurade, berɛ yi mu na wode ahennie no bɛba Israel anaa?”
7 And he sayde vnto them: It is not for you to knowe the tymes or the seasons which ye father hath put in his awne power:
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛho nhia sɛ mobɛhunu ɛberɛ a Agya no nam ne tumi so ahyehyɛ ato hɔ no.
8 but ye shall receave power of the holy goost which shall come on you. And ye shall be witnesses vnto me in Ierusalem and in all Iewrye and in Samary and even vnto the worldes ende.
Na sɛ Honhom Kronkron no ba mo so a, mobɛnya tumi na moayɛ mʼadansefoɔ wɔ Yerusalem ne Yudea nyinaa ne Samaria kɔsi asase ano.”
9 And when he had spoken these thinges whyll they behelde he was take vp and a cloude receaved him vp out of their sight.
Ɔkasa wieeɛ no, asuafoɔ no hunuu no sɛ ɔnam omununkum mu rekɔ ɔsoro na wɔanhunu no bio.
10 And while they looked stedfastly vp to heaven as he went beholde two men stode by them in white apparell
Wɔgu so rehwɛ ewiem no, amonom hɔ ara, mmarima baanu bi a wɔhyehyɛ ntadeɛ fitafitaa bɛgyinaa wɔn nkyɛn,
11 which also sayde: ye men of Galile why stonde ye gasinge vp into heave? This same Iesus which is taken vp fro you in to heaven shall so come even as ye haue sene him goo into heaven.
kaa sɛ, “Mo mmarima a mofiri Galilea, adɛn enti na mogyina ha rehwɛ ewiem? Yesu a wɔafa no afiri mo nkyɛn kɔ ɔsoro no, sɛdeɛ ɔsi kɔɔ ɔsoro no, saa ara na ɔbɛsane aba bio.”
12 Then returned they vnto Ierusalem from mount olivete which is nye to Ierusalem coteyninge a Saboth dayes iorney.
Yei akyi no, asuafoɔ no firii Ngo Bepɔ no so baa Yerusalem. Ɛfiri Ngo Bepɔ no so ba Yerusalem no bɛyɛ kilomita baako ne fa.
13 And when they were come in they went vp into a parler where abode both Peter and Iames Iohn and Andrew Philip and Thomas Bartlemew and Mathew Iames the sonne of Alpheus and Simo Zelotes and Iudas Iames sonne.
Wɔduruu hɔ no, wɔkɔɔ ɛdan bi a na ɛwɔ aborɔsan 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 These all cotinued with one acorde in prayer and supplicacion with the wemen and Mary the mother of Iesu and with his brethren.
Na saa asuafoɔ yi nyinaa taa ne mmaa bi te sɛ Yesu maame Maria ne Yesu nnua mmarimanom hyia bɔ mpaeɛ.
15 And in those dayes Peter stode vp in the myddes of the disciples and sayde (the noumbre of names that were to gether were aboute an hondred and twenty)
Nna kakra bi akyi no, agyidifoɔ no a wɔn dodoɔ bɛyɛ sɛ ɔha aduonu no hyiaeɛ na Petro sɔre kasaa sɛ:
16 Ye men and brethren this scripture must have nedes ben fulfilled which the holy goost thorow ye mouth of David spake before of Iudas which was gyde to them that tooke Iesus.
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 noubred with vs and had obtayned fellouship in this ministracion.
Yɛn a Yesu yii yɛn no, na Yuda nso ka yɛn ho wɔ ɔsom no mu.
18 And the same hath now possessed a plot of grounde with the rewarde of iniquite and when he was hanged brast a sondre in ye myddes and all his bowels gusshed oute.
(Sika a Yuda nya firii ade bɔne a ɔyɛeɛ no mu no, wɔde tɔɔ asase wɔ faako a ɔwuiɛ hɔ. Ɔte bɛhwee fam maa ne mu paeeɛ maa nʼayamdeɛ tu guu so.
19 And it is knowe vnto all the inhabiters of Ierusalem: in so moche that that felde is called in their mother tonge Acheldama that is to saye the bloud felde.
Nnipa a na wɔte Yerusalem nyinaa tee saa asɛm yi no, wɔtoo asase no din wɔ wɔn ankasa kasa mu sɛ Hekeldama a asekyerɛ ne sɛ, Mogya Asase.)
20 It is written in the boke of Psalmes: His habitacio be voyde and no man be dwellinge therin: and his bisshoprycke let another take.
Petro toaa so kaa sɛ, “Wɔatwerɛ wɔ Dawid nnwom mu sɛ, “‘Ne efie nna mpan, na ne som adwuma no, obi mfa.’
21 Wherfore of these me which have copanyed with vs all ye tyme that the Lorde Iesus wet in and out amonge vs
Enti ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyi nnipa a yɛne wɔn nantee ɛberɛ a na Yesu ne yɛn dii akɔneaba no nyinaa,
22 begynninge at the baptyme of Iohn vnto that same daye that he was taken vp from vs must one be ordeyned to be are witnes with vs of his resurreccion.
firi Yohane asubɔ adwuma no so de kɔsi ɛberɛ a wɔfaa Yesu firii yɛn nkyɛn kɔɔ ɔsoro no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ saa nnipa no mu baako bɛka yɛn ho ne yɛn di Yesu wusɔreɛ no ho adanseɛ.”
23 And they appoynted two Ioseph called Barsabas (whose syr name was Iustus) and Mathias.
Wɔyii nnipa baanu. Ɔbaako din de Yosef a na wɔfrɛ no Barsaba, na wɔtaa nso frɛ no Yusto. Deɛ na ɔka ho no nso din de Matia.
24 And they prayed sayinge: thou Lorde which knowest the hertes of all me shewe whether of these two thou hast chosen
Afei, asuafoɔ no bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ, “Awurade, wonim obiara akoma mu. Ɛno enti, kyerɛ yɛn nnipa baanu yi mu deɛ woayi no,
25 that the one maye take the roume of this ministracion and apostleshippe from the which Iudas by transgression fell that he myght go to his awne place.
sɛ ɔmmɛsi Yuda a wanya ne baabi kɔ no ananmu mmɛyɛ asomafodwuma no.”
26 And they gave forthe their lottes and the lot fell on Mathias and he was counted with the eleven Apostles.
Afei, asuafoɔ no bɔɔ wɔn so ntonto maa ɛsii Matia. Enti wɔfaa no kaa asomafoɔ dubaako no ho.
