Acts 21
1 And it chaunsed that assone as we had launched forth and were departed from them we came with a strayght course vnto Choon and the daye folowinge vnto the Rhodes and from thence vnto Patara.
Yɛne Efeso asafo mpanimfoɔ no dii ntetemu no, yɛsii mu nam nsuo ani tee kɔɔ Ko. Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, yɛkɔduruu Rodo na yɛfirii hɔ kɔɔ Patara.
2 And we founde a shippe redy to sayle vnto Phenices and went a borde and set forthe.
Yɛnyaa ɛhyɛn bi a ɛrekɔ Foinike kɔtenaa mu kɔeɛ.
3 Then appered vnto vs Cyprus and we lefte it on the lefte honde and sayled vnto Syria and came vnto Tyre. For there the shyppe vnladed her burthen.
Yɛduruu baabi a yɛn ani tua Kipro no, yɛtwaa ho wɔ benkum fam kɔɔ Siria. Yɛsii fam wɔ Tiro, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛhɔ na wɔrekɔyi ɛhyɛn no mu nneɛma.
4 And when we had founde brethren we taryed there. vii. dayes. And they tolde Paul thorowe ye sprete that he shuld not goo vp to Ierusalem.
Yɛhunuu asuafoɔ bi wɔ hɔ tenaa wɔn nkyɛn dii nnawɔtwe. Asuafoɔ no nam Honhom Kronkron adiyie so bɔɔ Paulo kɔkɔ sɛ ɔnnkɔ Yerusalem.
5 And when the dayes were ended we departed and went oure wayes and they all brought vs on oure waye wt their wyves and chyldren tyll we were come out of the cyte. And we kneled doune in the shore and prayde.
Nanso, ɛberɛ duruu sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ yɛfiri hɔ no, yɛgyaa wɔn hɔ kɔeɛ. Asuafoɔ no nyinaa ne wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma kɔgyaa yɛn kwan kɔduruu mpoano. Yɛduruu hɔ no, yɛn nyinaa buu nkotodwe bɔɔ mpaeɛ.
6 And when we had taken oure leave one of another we toke shyppe and they returned home agayne.
Afei, yɛkrakraa yɛn ho yɛn ho wieeɛ no, yɛkɔtenaa ɛhyɛn no mu maa wɔn nso sane kɔɔ efie.
7 When we had full ended the course fro Tyre we aryved at Ptolomaida and saluted the brethren and abode with the one daye.
Yɛfiri Tiro no, yɛtoaa yɛn akwantuo no so faa nsuo ani kɔduruu Ptolemai. Yɛduruu hɔ no, yɛkɔkyeaa asuafoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no dii wɔn nkyɛn da koro.
8 The nexte daye we that were of Pauls copany departed and came vnto Cesarea. And we entred into the housse of Philip ye Evagelist which was one of the seve deacones and abode with him.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, yɛfirii hɔ kɔɔ Kaesarea. Yɛduruu hɔ no, yɛkɔɔ ɔsɛmpakafoɔ Filipo a na ɔka mmarima baason a wɔyii wɔn wɔ Yerusalem no ho no fie kɔtenaa ne nkyɛn.
9 The same man had fower doughters virges which dyd prophesy.
Na Filipo wɔ mma mmaabunu baanan bi a na wɔhyɛ nkɔm.
10 And as we taried there a good many dayes there came a certayne prophete from Iurie named Agabus.
Yɛtenaa hɔ kyɛɛ kakra no, odiyifoɔ bi a wɔfrɛ no Agabo firi Yudea baa hɔ.
11 When he was come vnto vs he toke Pauls gerdell and bounde his hondes and fete and sayde: thus saith the holy goost: so shall ye Iewes at Ierusalem bynde the man yt oweth this gerdell and shall delyver him into the hondes of the gentyls.
Ɔbaa faako a yɛwɔ no, ɔfaa Paulo abɔsoɔ de kyekyeree ne nan ne ne nsa kaa sɛ, “Asɛm a Honhom Kronkron ka ni, ‘Sɛdeɛ Yudafoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no bɛkyekyere onipa a abɔsoɔ yi yɛ ne dea no na wɔde no ahyɛ amanamanmufoɔ no nsa ni!’”
12 When we hearde this both we and other of the same place besought him that he wolde not goo vp to Ierusalem.
Yɛtee saa asɛm yi no, yɛne wɔn a na yɛne wɔn wɔ hɔ no nyinaa srɛɛ Paulo sɛ ɔnnkɔ Yerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered and sayde: what do ye wepynge and breakinge myne hert? I am redy not to be bound only but also to dye at Ierusalem for ye name of ye Lorde Iesu.
Nanso, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Osu a moresu de hyɛ me awerɛhoɔ yi ase ne sɛn? Me de masiesie me ho sɛ ɛnyɛ kyekyere a wɔbɛkyekyere me wɔ Yerusalem no na mesuro, na sɛ ɛtwa sɛ mewu mema Awurade Yesu a, mɛwu.”
14 When we coulde not turne his mynde we ceased sayinge: the will of ye Lorde be fulfilled.
Yɛkaeɛ kaeɛ a wampene no, yɛgyae kaa sɛ, “Deɛ Awurade pɛ na ɛnyɛ.”
15 After those dayes we made oure selfes redy and went vp to Ierusalem.
Nna bi akyi no, yɛboaboaa yɛn ho firii hɔ kɔɔ Yerusalem.
16 There went with vs also certayne of his disciples of Cesarea and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus an olde disciple with whom we shuld lodge.
Kaesarea asuafoɔ no bi ne yɛn kɔeɛ. Yɛduruu hɔ no, yɛkɔsoɛɛ Mnason a ɔfiri Kipro a ɔgyee Yesu Kristo diiɛ akyɛre no fie.
17 And when we were come to Ierusalem the brethren receaved vs gladly.
Yɛduruu Yerusalem no, asuafoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa gyee yɛn fɛw so.
18 And on the morowe Paul wet in with vs vnto Iames. And all the elders came to geder.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, Paulo ne yɛn kɔkyeaa Yakobo ne Yerusalem asafo no mu mpanimfoɔ.
19 And when he had saluted them he tolde by order all thinges that God had wrought amoge the getyls by his ministracion.
Nkyea no akyi no, Paulo kaa biribiara a Onyankopɔn nam ne som no so ayɛ wɔ amanamanmufoɔ no mu no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
20 And when they hearde it they glorified the Lorde and sayde vnto him: thou seist brother how many thousande Iewes ther are which beleve and they are all zelous over ye lawe.
Wɔtiee Paulo amanneɛbɔ no wieeɛ no, wɔhyɛɛ Onyankopɔn animuonyam. Afei, wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Onua, wʼankasa wodi adanseɛ sɛ Yudafoɔ mpempem na na wɔabɛyɛ asuafoɔ a wɔn nyinaa nso di yɛn mmara no so.
21 And they are informed of the that thou teachest all the Iewes which are amoge the gentyls to forsake Moses and sayst that they ought not to circumcise their chyldren nether to live after the customes.
Saa nnipa yi ate sɛ wotia Mose mmara no ne Yudafoɔ amanneɛ; ɛne sɛ, wokyerɛkyerɛ Yudafoɔ a wɔte amanamanmufoɔ no mu sɛ wɔnntwa wɔn mma twetia na wɔnnni yɛn amanneɛ nso so.
22 What is it therfore? The multitude must nedes come togeder. For they shall heare that thou arte come.
Deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara, wɔbɛte sɛ woaba ha. Enti, afei yɛbɛyɛ no ɛdeɛn?
23 Do therfore this that we saye to the. We have. iiii. men which have a vowe on them.
Yɛ deɛ yɛrebɛka akyerɛ wo yi. Mmarima baanan bi wɔ yɛn nkyɛn ha a, wɔresiesie wɔn ho ama amanneɛ ho bɔhyɛ.
24 Them take and purifye thy selfe with them and do cost on them that they maye shave their heeddes and all shall knowe yt tho thinges which they have hearde concerninge the are nothinge: but that thou thy selfe also walkest and kepest the lawe.
Wo ne wɔn nkɔ na monkɔdwira mo ho na tua ho ka ma wɔn sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛtumi atwitwa wɔn tirinwi. Yei bɛma obiara ahunu sɛ nsɛm a wɔte faa wo ho no mu biara nyɛ nokorɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wʼankasa mpo, wodi Mose mmara no so.
25 For as touchinge the gentyls which beleve we have written and concluded yt they observe no soche thinges: but that they kepe them selves from thinges offred to ydoles from bloud fro strangled and fro fornicacion.
Amanamanmufoɔ a wɔabɛyɛ asuafoɔ no de, yɛatwerɛ akɔma wɔn akyerɛ gyinaeɛ a yɛasi sɛ, wɔnnni aduane biara a wɔde abɔ afɔdeɛ ama abosom; wɔnnni mogya; wɔnnni aboa biara a wɔantwa ne mene ansa na ɔwuiɛ; na afei nso, wɔntwe wɔn ho mfiri adwamammɔ ho.”
26 Then the nexte daye Paul toke the men and purified him selfe with them and entred into the teple declaringe that he observed the dayes of ye purificacio vntyll that an offeringe shuld be offred for every one of them.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, Paulo ne mmarima no kɔdwiraa wɔn ho. Ɔne wɔn kɔɔ asɔredan mu kɔkyerɛɛ da a wɔbɛwie wɔn ahodwira no ne da a wɔbɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama wɔn mmaako mmaako.
27 And as the seven dayes shuld have bene ended ye Iewes which were of Asia when they sawe him in the teple they moved all the people and layde hondes on him
Nnanson no reyɛ atwam no, Yudafoɔ bi a wɔfiri Asia hunuu Paulo wɔ asɔredan mu hɔ, hwanyanee nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa maa wɔkyeree Paulo.
28 cryinge: men of Israel helpe. This is the man that teacheth all men every where agaynst the people and the lawe and this place. Moreover also he hath brought Grekes into the teple and hath polluted this holy place.
Wɔteateaam sɛ, “Israel mmarima, monsɔre mmɛboa yɛn! Yei ne ɔbarima a baabiara a ɔbɛkɔ no ɔnam ne nkyerɛkyerɛ so tia Israelfoɔ, Mose mmara ne asɔredan yi. Mpo ɔde amanamanmufoɔ bi aba ha de agu Kronkronbea ha ho fi.”
29 For they sawe one Trophimus an Ephesian with him in the cyte. Him they supposed Paul had brought into the teple.
Deɛ ɛma wɔkaa saa asɛm yi ne sɛ, na wɔahunu Paulo ne Efesoni Trofimo wɔ kurom hɔ, enti na wɔsusu sɛ Paulo de no akɔ asɔredan mu hɔ.
30 And all the cyte was moved and the people swarmed to geder. And they toke Paul and drue him out of the teple and forthwith the dores were shut to.
Wɔtee saa asɛm yi no, kuro mu no nyinaa bɔɔ twi, kɔkyeree Paulo, twee no firii asɔredan no mu hɔ. Ɛhɔ ara, wɔtotoo asɔredan no apono no nyinaa mu.
31 As they went about to kyll him tydinges came vnto the hye captayne of the soudiers that all Ierusalem was moved.
Ɛberɛ a ɛdɔm no pɛɛ sɛ wɔkum Paulo no, obi kɔka kyerɛɛ Roma asraafoɔ apem so safohene no sɛ, basabasa asi Yerusalem.
32 Which immediatly toke soudiers and vndercaptaynes and ranne doune vnto them. When they sawe ye vpper captayne and the soudiers they lefte smytinge of Paul.
Amonom hɔ ara, ɔsafohene no ne asraafoɔ mpanin bi ne asraafoɔ bi de ahoɔherɛ kɔɔ baabi a dɔm no ahyia no. Ɛberɛ a nnipa no hunuu no ne asraafoɔ no no, wɔgyaee Paulo hweɛ.
33 Then the captayne came neare and toke him and comaunded him to be bounde with two chaynes and demaunded what he was and what he had done.
Ɔsafohene no kɔsɔɔ Paulo mu, kyerɛɛ sɛ wɔmfa nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mmienu ngu no. Afei, ɔbisaa sɛ, “Hwan ne saa ɔbarima yi? Bɔne bɛn na wayɛ?”
34 And one cryed this another that amoge the people. And whe he coulde not knowe the certayntie for ye rage he comaunded him to be caryed into the castle.
Nnipa no ano antumi ankɔ bɛnkorɔ; ebinom ka sei a, na afoforɔ nso aka sei. Saa basabasa yi amma ɔsafohene no antumi anhunu asɛm pɔtee a asi. Ɛno enti, ɔhyɛɛ nʼasraafoɔ no sɛ wɔmfa Paulo nkɔ aban mu.
35 And whe he came vnto a grece it fortuned that he was borne of the soudiers of the violence of the people.
Wɔde Paulo duruu atwedeɛ no ano no, ɛdɔm no bɔ toaa no enti asraafoɔ no tam no kɔeɛ.
36 For the multitude of the people folowed after cryinge: awaye wt him.
Ɛdɔm no tu dii wɔn akyi teateaam sɛ, “Monkum no!”
37 And as Paul shuld have bene caryed into the castle he sayde vnto the hye Captayne: maye I speake vnto the? Which sayde: canst thou speake Greke?
Wɔde Paulo rekɔ aban mu no, ɔbisaa ɔsafohene no sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, mɛtumi maka asɛm bi makyerɛ wo anaa?” Ɔsafohene no nso bisaa no sɛ, “Enti, wote Hela kasa?
38 Arte not thou that Egypcian which before these dayes made an vproure and ledde out into the wildernes. iiii. thousande men that were mortherers?
Ɛnyɛ wo ne Misraimni a da bi ɔhyɛɛ basabasayɛ ase dii mmarima awudifoɔ mpemnan anim kɔɔ ɛserɛ so no?”
39 But Paul sayde: I am a ma which am a Iewe of Tharsus a cite in Cicill a Citesyn of no vyle cite I beseche ye soffre me to speake vnto ye people.
Paulo buaa no sɛ, “Meyɛ Yudani a wɔwoo me wɔ Tarso; Kilikia kuro a agye din no mu onipa ne me. Mesrɛ wo, ma me ho ɛkwan na me ne nnipa no nkasa.”
40 When he had geve him licece Paul stode on ye steppes and beckned with the honde vuto the people and ther was made a greate silence. And he spake vnto the in ye Ebrue tonge sayinge:
Ɔsafohene no maa Paulo ɛkwan ma ɔgyinaa atwedeɛ no so nyamaa nnipa no. Wɔyɛɛ komm no, Paulo kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn wɔ Arameike kasa mu sɛ:
