Acts 8
1 Saul had pleasure in his deeth. And at yt tyme there was a great persecucion agaynst the congregacion which was at Ierusalem and they were all scattered abroade thorowout the regions of Iury and Samaria except the Apostles
Saulo penee kum a wɔkum Stefano no so. Saa ɛda no ara, wɔtaa agyidifoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no maa wɔn nyinaa bɔ hwete kɔɔ Yudea ne Samaria nsase so maa ɛkaa asomafoɔ no nko ara.
2 Then devout men dressed Steven aud made great lamentacion over him.
Nyamesurofoɔ bi kɔfaa Stefano kɔsiee no. Wɔsuu no yie.
3 But Saul made havocke of the congregacion entrynge into every housse and drewe out bothe man and woman and thrust the into preson.
Esiane sɛ na Saulo pɛ sɛ ɔgu asafo no enti, ɔkɔɔ afie mu kɔkyekyeree agyidifoɔ mmarima ne mmaa de wɔn guu afiase.
4 They that were scattered abroade went every where preachyng the worde.
Agyidifoɔ a na wɔabɔ ahwete no kaa asɛmpa no wɔ baabiara a wɔkɔeɛ.
5 Then came Philip into a cite of Samaria and preached Christ vnto them.
Filipo kɔɔ Samaria kuro bi mu kɔkaa Agyenkwa no ho asɛm kyerɛɛ nnipa a na wɔwɔ hɔ no.
6 And the people gave hede vnto those thinges which Philip spake with one acorde in that they hearde and sawe the miracles which he dyd.
Ɛberɛ a nnipakuo no tee asɛm a Filipo reka na wɔhunuu anwanwadeɛ a ɔyɛeɛ no, wɔn nyinaa tiee no.
7 For vnclene spretes cryinge with loude voyce came out of many that were possessed of them. And manye taken with palsies and many yt halted were healed
Ahonhommɔne de nteateam firii nnipa bebree mu. Saa ara nso na mmubuafoɔ ne mpakye nso sɔre nanteeɛ.
8 And ther was great ioye in that cite.
Yei enti, anigyeɛ baa Samaria.
9 And ther was a certayne man called Simon which before tyme in the same cite vsed witche crafte and bewitched the people of Samarie sayinge that he was a man yt coulde do greate thinges
Na ɔbarima bi te saa kuro yi mu a wɔfrɛ no Simon a ɔyɛ nkonyaayifoɔ a ɛsiane ne nkonyaayie no enti, na Samariafoɔ pii gye no di. Na ɔyɛ obi a ɔhoahoa ne ho sɛ ɔdi mu.
10 Whom they regarded from ye lest to the greatest sayinge: this felow is the great power of God.
Yei maa nnipa a wɔwɔ kuro no mu no nyinaa gyee no too mu kaa sɛ, “Saa onipa yi ne Onyankopɔn tumi a wɔfrɛ no Ɔkɛseɛ no.”
11 And him they set moche by because of longe tyme with sorcery he had mocked the.
Esiane ne nkonyaa a na ɔyi no enti, ɛmaa nnipa no nyinaa tu dii nʼakyi.
12 But assone as they beleved Philippes preachynge of the kyngdome of God and of the name of Iesu Christ they were baptised bothe men and wemen.
Ɛberɛ a saa nnipa yi gyee asɛmpa a Filipo ka faa Onyankopɔn Ahennie ne Yesu Kristo din no ho diiɛ no, wɔbɔɔ mmarima ne mmaa nyinaa asu.
13 Then Simon him selfe beleved also and was baptised and cotinued with Phillip and wondered beholdynge the miracles and signes which were shewed.
Simon nso gye diiɛ maa wɔbɔɔ no asu. Baabiara a Filipo kɔeɛ no, Simon dii nʼakyi. Anwanwadeɛ a ɔhunuiɛ no ma ne ho dwirii no.
14 When ye Apostles which were at Ierusalem hearde saye that Samaria had receaved ye worde of God: they sent vnto the Peter and Iohn
Ɛberɛ a asomafoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no tee sɛ Samariafoɔ agye Onyankopɔn asɛm no adi no, wɔsomaa Petro ne Yohane kɔɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
15 which when they were come prayed for the that they myght receave ye holy goost
Wɔduruu hɔ no, wɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ maa agyidifoɔ no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Honhom Kronkron bɛba wɔn so,
16 For as yet he was come on none of them: But they were baptised only in the name of Christ Iesu.
ɛfiri sɛ, saa ɛberɛ no na asu kɛkɛ na wɔnam Awurade Yesu din so abɔ. Na Honhom Kronkron nnya mmaa wɔn so.
17 Then layde they their hondes on them and they receaved the holy goost.
Afei, Petro ne Yohane de wɔn nsa guguu wɔn so maa Honhom Kronkron baa wɔn so.
18 When Simo sawe that thorowe layinge on of the Apostles hondes on them the holy goost was geven: he offered the money
Simon hunuu sɛ asomafoɔ no nsa a wɔde guguu wɔn so no na ɛmaa wɔnyaa Honhom Kronkron no, ɔmaa Petro ne Yohane sika srɛɛ sɛ,
19 sayinge: Geve me also this power that on whom soever I put the hondes he maye receave the holy goost.
“Momma me saa tumi yi bi na obiara a mede me nsa bɛgu no so no anya Honhom Kronkron no bi.”
20 Then sayde Peter vnto him: thy monye perysh with the because thou wenest that the gifte of God maye be obteyned wt money.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nnome nka wo ne wo sika nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ, wosusu sɛ wobɛtumi de sika atɔ Onyankopɔn akyɛdeɛ no.
21 Thou hast nether parte nor felloushippe in this busines. For thy hert is not ryght in the syght of God.
Wonni kyɛfa biara wɔ yɛn dwumadie yi mu, ɛfiri sɛ, wʼakoma mu nte wɔ Onyankopɔn anim.
22 Repent therfore of this thy wickednes and praye God that ye thought of thyne hert maye be forgeven the.
Nu wo ho firi wo bɔne yi ho na bɔ mpaeɛ srɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ ɔmfa wo bɔne nkyɛ wo.
23 For I perceave that thou arte full of bitter gall and wrapped in iniquite.
Mehunu sɛ anibereɛ bɔne ahyɛ wʼakoma mu ama bɔne afa wo dommum.”
24 Then answered Simon and sayde: Praye ye to the lorde for me yt none of these thinges whiche ye have spoken fall on me.
Simon srɛɛ Petro ne Yohane sɛ, “Mommɔ mpaeɛ mma me na saa nnome yi mu biara amma me so.”
25 And they whe they had testified and preached the worde of the lorde returned toward Ierusalem and preached the gospell in many cities of the Samaritas.
Ansa na Petro ne Yohane reduru Yerusalem no, wɔkaa asɛmpa no wɔ Samaria nkuraa bebree ase.
26 Then the angell of the lorde spake vnto Phillip sayinge: aryse and goo towardes mydde daye vnto ye waye yt goeth doune fro Ierusalem vnto Gaza which is in ye desert.
Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ ka kyerɛɛ Filipo sɛ, “Sɔre siesie wo ho kɔ anafoɔ ɛkwan a ɛfiri Yerusalem kɔ Gasa no so.”
27 And he arose and wet on. And beholde a man of Ethiopia which was a chaberlayne and of grete auctorite wt Cadace quene of ye Ethiopias and had ye rule of all her treasure came to Ierusalem for to praye.
Ɛberɛ a Filipo rekɔ no, ɔhyiaa Etiopiani bi a ɔyɛ Etiopiahemmaa Kandake dabeni. Na saa onipa yi akɔ asɔre wɔ Yerusalem a ɔte ne teaseɛnam mu resane nʼakyi akɔ efie.
28 And as he returned home agayne sittynge in his charet he rede Esay ye prophet
Na ɔrekenkan Odiyifoɔ Yesaia nwoma no.
29 Then ye sprete sayde vnto Phillip: Goo neare and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet.
Honhom Kronkron ka kyerɛɛ Filipo sɛ, “Twe bɛn no.”
30 And Philip ranne to him and hearde him rede ye prophet Esayas and sayde: Vnderstondest thou what thou redest?
Filipo yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ teaseɛnam no ho na ɔtee sɛ ɔrekenkan Odiyifoɔ Yesaia nwoma no no, ɔbisaa sɛ, “Wote deɛ worekenkan yi ase anaa?”
31 And he sayd: how can I except I had a gyde? And he desyred Philip that he wold come vp and sit wt him.
Dabeni no buaa no sɛ, “Mɛyɛ dɛn na mate aseɛ? Gye sɛ obi kyerɛ me aseɛ.” Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ Filipo sɛ ɔmforo mmɛtena ne nkyɛn wɔ ne teaseɛnam no mu.
32 The tenoure of ye scripture which he redde was this. He was ledde as a shepe to be slayne: and lyke a lambe dome before his sherer so opened he not his mouth.
Na dabeni no rekan saa Atwerɛsɛm yi, “Ɔte sɛ odwammaa a wɔrekɔku no. Sɛdeɛ odwammaa yɛ dinn wɔ ne nwitwitwafoɔ anim no, saa ara na wammue nʼano.
33 Because of his humblenes he was not estemed: who shall declare his generacio? for his lyfe is taken fro the erthe.
Nʼanimguaseɛ mu, wannya odimafoɔ. Na hwan na ɔbɛka nʼasefoɔ ho asɛm? Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔyii no firii asase yi so.”
34 The chamberlayne answered Philip and sayde: I praye the of whom speaketh the Prophet this? of him selfe or of some other man?
Dabeni no bisaa Filipo sɛ, “Odiyifoɔ no reka ne ho asɛm anaa obi foforɔ ho asɛm?”
35 And Philip opened his mouth and beganne at ye same scripture and preached vnto him Iesus.
Filipo nam saa asɛm no so kaa nsɛmpa a ɛfa Yesu ho kyerɛɛ no.
36 And as they went on their waye they came vnto a certayne water and the chamberlayne sayde: Se here is water what shall let me to be baptised?
Wɔrekɔ no, wɔduruu asuo bi ho. Dabeni no ka kyerɛɛ Filipo sɛ, “Nsuo nie. Ɛdeɛn na ɛsi wo kwan sɛ wobɔ me asu?”
37 Philip sayde vnto him: Yf thou beleve with all thyne hert thou mayst. He answered and sayde: I beleve that Iesus Christe is the sonne of God.
Filipo ka kyerɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ wofiri wʼakoma mu gye di a, mɛbɔ wo asu.” Dabeni no buaa no sɛ, “Megye di. Megye di sɛ Yesu Kristo yɛ Onyankopɔn Ba.”
38 And he comaunded the charet to stonde still. And they went doune bothe into the water: bothe Philip and also the chamberlayne and he baptised him.
Dabeni no hyɛ maa teaseɛnam no gyinaeɛ. Ɔne Filipo kɔɔ nsuo no ho maa ɔbɔɔ no asu.
39 And assone as they were come out of the water the sprete of the lorde caught awaye Philip yt the chamberlayne sawe him no moore. And he wet on his waye reioysinge:
Wɔfiri nsuo no mu no, Onyankopɔn Honhom hwim Filipo firii dabeni no nkyɛn kɔeɛ. Wanhunu Filipo bio de, nanso ɔde anigyeɛ toaa nʼakwantuo no so.
40 but Philip was founde at Azotus. And he walked thorow out ye countre preachynge in their cities tyll he came to Cesarea.
Filipo kɔpuee Asoto kɔɔ so kaa asɛmpa no wɔ nkuro no mu kɔsii sɛ ɔkɔduruu Kaesarea.
