Acts 9
1 And Saul yet brethynge oute threatnynges and slaughter agaynst ye disciples of the lorde went vnto ye hye preste
Saa ɛberɛ no na Saulo ani abere sɛ ɔbɛtɔre Kristo akyidifoɔ no ase.
2 and desyred of him letters to Damasco to ye synagoges: that yf he founde eny of this waye whether they were men or wemen he myght bringe them bounde vnto Ierusalem.
Ɔkɔɔ Ɔsɔfopanin no nkyɛn kɔgyee adansedie krataa a ɛbɛma no tumi ama wakɔ hyiadan mu wɔ Damasko akɔkyekyere nnipa a wɔka ekuo a wɔfrɛ no Ɛkwan no ho, sɛ wɔyɛ mmaa anaa mmarima, na ɔde wɔn akɔ Yerusalem.
3 But as he went on his iorney it fortuned yt he drue nye to Damasco and sodenly ther shyned rounde about him a lyght fro heven.
Ɔreyɛ abɛn Damasko no, prɛko pɛ, hann bi firi ɔsoro twa faa ne ho,
4 And he fell to ye erth and hearde a voyce sayinge to him: Saul Saul why persecutest thou me?
maa ɔtwa hwee fam. Afei, ɔtee nne bi sɛ, “Saulo! Adɛn enti na wotaa me?”
5 And he sayde what arte thou lorde? And the lorde sayd I am Iesus whom thou persecutest it shalbe harde for ye to kycke agaynst ye pricke.
Saulo bisaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ wo hwan, Owura?” Nne no buaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ me Yesu a wotaa me no.”
6 And he bothe tremblynge and astonyed sayde: Lorde what wilt thou have me to do? And ye Lorde sayde vnto him: aryse and goo into the cite and it shalbe tolde the what thou shalt do.
Nne no kaa sɛ, “Sɔre na kɔ kuro no mu na wɔbɛkyerɛ wo deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ.”
7 The men which iornayed with him stode amased for they herde a voyce but sawe no man.
Nnipa a wɔne Saulo nam no gyinaeɛ a wɔantumi anka hwee; wɔtee nne no, nanso wɔanhunu obiara.
8 And Saul arose from the erth and opened his eyes but sawe no man. Then ledde they him by the honde and brought him into Damasco.
Afei, Saulo sɔre firii fam hɔ buee nʼani, nanso na ɔnhunu adeɛ. Enti, wɔkurakura no nkakrankakra de no kɔɔ Damasko.
9 And he was. iii. dayes with out syght and nether ate nor dranke.
Nnansa a ɔdii wɔ Damasko no na ɔnhunu hwee. Na ɔnnidi na ɔnnom nso.
10 And ther was a certayne disciple at Damasco named Ananias and to him sayde the lorde in a vision: Ananias. And the he sayde: beholde I am here lorde.
Na osuani bi wɔ Damasko a wɔfrɛ no Anania. Awurade frɛɛ no anisoadehunu mu sɛ, “Anania!” Ɔgyee so sɛ, “Awurade!”
11 And the lorde sayde to him: aryse and goo into the strete which is called strayght and seke in the housse of Iudas after one called Saul of Tharsus. For beholde he prayeth
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ Yuda efie a ɛwɔ Tempɔn Tee no so na kɔbisa ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Saulo a ɔfiri Tarso no ase; ɔrebɔ mpaeɛ.
12 and hath sene in a vision a man named Ananias comynge in to him and puttynge his hondes on him that he myght receave his syght.
Anisoadehunu mu, ɔhunuu ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Anania a ɔde ne nsa too ne so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛsane ahunu adeɛ.”
13 Then Ananias answered: Lorde I have hearde by many of this man how moche evell he hath done to thy sainctes at Ierusalem
Anania buaa sɛ, “Awurade, mate saa ɔbarima yi ho nsɛm bebree, ne ha a ɔha wʼakyidifoɔ wɔ Yerusalem no.
14 and here he hath auctorite of the hye prestes to bynde all that call on thy name.
Wakɔ asɔfoɔ mpanin nkyɛn akɔgye adansedie krataa a ɛbɛma no tumi na ɔde akyere obiara a ɔbɔ wo din wɔ ha no.”
15 The lorde sayde vnto him: Goo thy wayes: for he is a chosen vessell vnto me to beare my name before the gentyls and kynges and the chyldren of Israel.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Anania sɛ, “Kɔ! Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno na mayi no a menam ne so bɛma amanamanmufoɔ ne ahemfo ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa ate me din.
16 For I will shewe him how great thinges he must suffre for my names sake.
Na mɛkyerɛ no amaneɛ a ɛsiane me din enti ɔbɛhunu.”
17 Ananias went his waye and entryd into ye housse and put his hondes on him and sayde: brother Saul the lorde that apperyd vnto the in the waye as thou camst hath sent me that thou myghtest receave thy syght and be filled with the holy goost.
Afei, Anania kɔɔ efie hɔ de ne nsa guu Saulo so kaa sɛ, “Onua Saulo, Awurade Yesu no ankasa a ɔyii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ wo ɛkwan so ɛberɛ a woreba no asoma me sɛ, memmɛbue wʼani na hunu adeɛ, na Honhom Kronkron nhyɛ wo ma.”
18 And immediatly ther fell from his eyes as it had bene scales and he receaved syght and arose and was baptised
Amonom hɔ ara, biribi a ɛte sɛ abon firii nʼani so na ɔhunuu adeɛ. Ɔsɔre maa wɔbɔɔ no asu.
19 and receaved meate and was comforted. Then was Saul a certayne daye wt the disciples which were at Damasco.
Ɔnyaa aduane bi di meeɛ no, ne ho sanee no. Saulo dii nna kakra wɔ asuafoɔ a na wɔwɔ Damasko no nkyɛn.
20 And streyght waye he preached Christ in the synagoges how that he was the sonne of God.
Ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ kaa asɛmpa no wɔ hyiadan mu sɛ, Yesu yɛ Onyankopɔn Ba ampa.
21 All that hearde him were amased and sayde: is not this he that spoyled the which called on this name in Ierusalem and came hyther for ye entent that he shuld bringe the bounde vnto the hye prestes?
Nnipa a wɔtee asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no nyinaa ho dwirii wɔn maa wɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ saa ɔbarima yi na na ɔkum wɔn a wɔbɔ saa din yi wɔ Yerusalem no anaa? Na yɛate sɛ ɔbaa ha sɛ ɔrebɛkyere wɔn a wɔbɔ saa din yi nyinaa de wɔn akɔma asɔfoɔ mpanin.”
22 But Saul encreased in stregth and confounded the Iewes which dwelte at Damasco affirminge that this was very Christ.
Saulo asɛnka no mu yɛɛ den; nnipa no gyee nsɛm a ɔka faa Yesu ho sɛ ɔno ne Agyenkwa no diiɛ. Yudafoɔ a wɔte Damasko no antumi anka nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ no ho hwee.
23 And after a good whyle ye Iewes toke counsell to gether to kyll him.
Nna bi akyi no, Yudafoɔ no bɔɔ Saulo ho pɔ sɛ wɔbɛkum no,
24 But their layinge awayte was knowen of Saul. And they watched at the gates daye and nyght to kyll him.
nanso Saulo tee pɔ a wɔbɔɔ wɔ ne ho no. Na wɔtetɛ no wɔ kuro no apono ano awia ne anadwo apɛ no akum no.
25 Then ye disciples toke him by night and put him thorow the wall and let him doune in a basket.
Anadwo bi Saulo akyidifoɔ de no sii kɛntɛn bi mu, twetwee no faa ɔfasuo so gyaa no sii fam.
26 And when Saul was come to Ierusalem he assayde to cople him silfe with ye discyples and they were all afrayde of hym and beleued not that he was a disciple.
Saulo kɔɔ Yerusalem no, ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔde ne ho kɔbɔ asuafoɔ no ho nanso wɔsuroo no, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔnnye nni sɛ wasakyera abɛyɛ osuani.
27 But Bernabas toke hym and brought hym to ye apostles and declared to the how he had sene ye Lorde in ye waye and had spoke wyth hym: and how he had done boldely at damasco in the name of Iesu.
Barnaba kɔfaa no kɔɔ asuafoɔ no nkyɛn. Ɔkaa wɔn sɛdeɛ Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Saulo na ɔkasa kyerɛɛ no wɔ Damasko ɛkwan so no ne sɛdeɛ ɔde akokoɔduru kaa Yesu ho asɛm wɔ Damasko no.
28 And he had his conuersacion with them at Ierusalem
Saulo ne wɔn tenaeɛ na ɔde akokoɔduru kaa Awurade asɛm no wɔ Yerusalem nyinaa.
29 and quit hym silfe boldly in the name of the lorde Iesu. And he spake and disputed wyth the grekes: and they went aboute to slee hym.
Saulo ne Helenifoɔ nyaa akasakasa enti wɔbɔɔ pɔ sɛ wɔbɛkum no.
30 But when the brethren knew of that they brought hym to cesarea and sent hym forth to Tharsus.
Ɛberɛ a agyidifoɔ no tee pɔ a Helenifoɔ no bɔɔ wɔ Saulo ho no, wɔde no kɔɔ Kaesarea gyaa no ɛkwan ma ɔkɔɔ Tarso.
31 Then had ye congregacios rest thorowoute all Iewry and galile and Samary and were edified and walked in the feare of the lorde and multiplied by the comforte of the holy gost.
Afei, asafo a wɔwɔ Yudea, Samaria ne Galilea no nyinaa asom dwoo wɔn. Asafo no nam Honhom Kronkron so timiiɛ. Nnipa pii bɛkaa wɔn ho na wɔtenaa ase wɔ Awurade suro mu.
32 And it chaunsed yt as Peter walked throughoute all quarters he ca to ye saynctes which dwelt at Lydda
Petro tutuu akwan kɔɔ mmeammea. Ɛda bi, ɔkɔsraa agyidifoɔ a wɔwɔ Lida no,
33 and there he foude a certayne ma namyd Eneas whych had kepte hys bed viii. yere sicke of the palsie.
ɔhyiaa ɔbarima bi a ne din de Enea a wabubu agu kɛtɛ so mfeɛ nnwɔtwe wɔ hɔ.
34 Then sayde Peter vnto hym: Eneas Iesus Christ make ye whole. Aryse and make thy beed. And he arose immedyatly.
Petro ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Enea, Awurade Yesu Kristo nsa wo yadeɛ. Sɔre na yi wo kɛtɛ!” Amonom hɔ ara, Enea sɔree.
35 And all that dwelt at lydda and assaron sawe hym and tourned to the lorde.
Nnipa a wɔte Lida ne Saron no nyinaa hunuu no no, wɔde wɔn ho maa Awurade.
36 Ther was at Ioppe a certayne woma (whiche was a disciple named Tabitha which by interpretacion is called dorcas) the same was full of good workes and almes dedes which she did.
Na ɔbaa ogyedini bi te Yopa a ne din de Tabita a ne nkyerɛaseɛ ne Dorka a aseɛ ne ɔwansane. Saa ɔbaa yi de nʼadagyeɛ nyinaa yɛɛ papa, boaa ahiafoɔ.
37 And it chaunsed in those dayes that she was sicke and dyed. When they had wesshed her and layd her in a chamber:
Saa ɛberɛ korɔ yi ara mu na yadeɛ bɔɔ no maa ɔwuiɛ. Wɔdwaree no de no kɔtoo abansoro dan bi mu.
38 Because Lydda was nye to Ioppa and the disciples had hearde that Peter was there they sent vnto hym desyrynge him that he wolde not be greved to come vnto them.
Esiane sɛ Lida bɛn Yopa no enti, asuafoɔ a wɔwɔ Yopa no tee sɛ Petro wɔ Lida no, wɔsomaa mmarima baanu kɔsrɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ ntɛm mmra.
39 Peter arose and came with them and when he was come they brought him in to ye chamber. And all ye wydowes stode roude aboute hym wepynge and shewynge the cotes and garmentes which Dorcas made whill she was with the.
Petro yɛɛ ntɛm ne wɔn kɔeɛ. Ɔduruu hɔ no, wɔde no kɔɔ abansoro dan no mu. Akunafoɔ a na wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa bɛgyinagyinaa Petro ho suiɛ de ntadeɛ ne ntoma a Tabita te ase no ɔpam maa wɔn no kyerɛɛ no.
40 And Peter put the all forth and kneled doune and prayde and turned him to ye body and sayde: Tabitha aryse. And she opened her eyes and whe she sawe Peter she sat vp.
Petro maa wɔn nyinaa firii adi. Afei, ɔbuu nkotodwe, bɔɔ mpaeɛ danee nʼani kyerɛɛ amu no kaa sɛ, “Tabita, sɔre!” Tabita tee nʼani na ɔhunuu Petro no, ɔsɔre tenaa ase.
41 And he gave her ye honde and lyft her up and called the sainctes and wydowes and shewed her alyve.
Petro sɔɔ ne nsa ma ɔsɔre gyinaa hɔ. Afei, Petro frɛɛ agyidifoɔ no ne akunafoɔ no nyinaa de no maa wɔn.
42 And it was knowne throwout all Ioppa and many beleved on the Lorde.
Saa asɛm yi trɛɛ wɔ Yopa nyinaa maa nnipa pii gyee Awurade diiɛ.
43 And it fortuned that he taryed many dayes in Ioppa with one Simon a tanner.
Petro tenaa Simon a ɔhyɛ mmoa nwoma aduro no nkyɛn wɔ Yopa kyɛree kakra.
