Imisebenzi 13
1 Kwakukhona eAntiyoki ebandleni lapho abaprofethi labafundisi abathile, uBarnabasi kanye loSimeyoni othiwa nguNigeri, loLukiyu umKurene, loManayeni owayondliwe kanye loHerodi umtetrarki, loSawuli.
Adiyifo ne akyerɛkyerɛfo a na wɔwɔ Antiokia asafo no mu bi ne Barnaba ne Simeon, a na wɔfrɛ no “Onipa Tuntum,” Lukio a ɔyɛ Kireneni, Manaen, a ɔne Ɔhene Herode yɛ tipɛn, ne Saulo.
2 Kwathi bekhonza iNkosi bezila ukudla, uMoya oyiNgcwele wathi: Ngehlukaniselani oBarnabasi kanye loSawuli emsebenzini engibabizele wona.
Bere a wɔresom Awurade na wɔredi mmuada no, Honhom Kronkron no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munyi Barnaba ne Saulo na wonkodi dwuma a ɛno nti mafrɛ wɔn no mma me.”
3 Sebezile ukudla bakhuleka babeka izandla phezu kwabo, babathuma.
Wodii mmuada bɔɔ mpae, de wɔn nsa guu wɔn so somaa wɔn.
4 Bona-ke sebethunyiwe nguMoya oyiNgcwele, behlela eSelukiya, basuka lapho baya eKuprosi ngomkhumbi.
Honhom Kronkron somaa wɔn no, wɔkɔɔ Seleukia. Wofi hɔ no, wɔtoaa wɔn akwantu no so koduu Kipro.
5 Kwathi sebefikile eSalamisi, batshumayela ilizwi likaNkulunkulu emasinagogeni amaJuda; njalo babeloJohane umsizi.
Woduu Salami no, wɔkaa Onyankopɔn asɛm wɔ Yudafo hyiadan mu. Saa bere no na Yohane Marko ka wɔn ho sɛ ɔsomfo.
6 Kwathi sebedabule isihlenge bafika ePhafosi, bafica isanuse esithile, umprofethi wamanga, umJuda, obizo lakhe nguBarjesu,
Wotwaa mu wɔ supɔw no so koduu Pafo, na hɔ na wohyiaa Yudani nkonyaayifo bi a ɔfrɛ ne ho se odiyifo a na ne din de Bar-Yesu.
7 owayelombusi uSergiyu Pawuli, indoda ehlakaniphileyo. Lo wabizela kuye uBarnabasi loSawuli edinga ukuzwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
Na nʼadamfo ne amrado a ɔwɔ supɔw no so a ne din de Sergio Paulo no. Saa amrado a na onim nyansa yiye no soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Barnaba ne Saulo, efisɛ na ɔrehwehwɛ Onyankopɔn asɛm atie.
8 Kodwa isanuse, uElimasi, ngoba liphendulelwa njalo ibizo lakhe, waphikisana labo, edinga ukuphambula umbusi ekholweni.
Nanso nkonyaayifo Bar-Yesu a Hela kasa mu wɔfrɛ no Elima no ampene so, efisɛ na ɔmpɛ sɛ amrado yi betie Onyankopɔn asɛm.
9 Kodwa uSawuli, onguPawuli futhi, egcwele uMoya oNgcwele, njalo emjolozela
Afei Saulo a na wɔfrɛ no Paulo a Honhom Kronkron ahyɛ no ma no hwɛɛ nkonyaayifo Elima dinn kae se,
10 wathi: O wena ogcwele inkohliso yonke lobuqili bonke, ndodana kadiyabhola, sitha sakho konke ukulunga, kawuyekeli ukuphambula indlela eziqondileyo zeNkosi yini?
“Ɔbonsam ba a ɔte sɛ wo! Wompɛ ade pa biara yiye. Nnaadaa ahorow ahyɛ wo ma. Bere biara wopɛ sɛ wodan Awurade nokwasɛm ani ma ɛyɛ nkontomposɛm!
11 Njalo khathesi khangela, isandla seNkosi siphezu kwakho, njalo uzakuba yisiphofu, ungaliboni ilanga okwesikhathi. Kwahle kwamehlela ukufiphala lobumnyama, wahamba ebhoda edinga abazamdonsa ngesandla.
Awurade bɛtwe wʼaso ama wʼani afura a worenhu ade fi saa bere yi de kosi bere bi.” Ɛhɔ ara Elima ani furae a na ɔde ne nsa rekeka sɛ obenya obi aso ne mu ana.
12 Ngalesosikhathi umbusi wabona okwenziweyo wakholwa, edidwa yimfundiso yeNkosi.
Amrado no huu asɛm a asi no, ogyee Awurade asɛm no dii. Awurade ho asɛm a ɔtee no maa ne ho dwiriw no.
13 UPawuli lababelaye basebesuka ngomkhumbi ePhafosi bafika ePerga esePamfiliya. Kodwa uJohane wehlukana labo wabuyela eJerusalema.
Paulo ne ne dɔm no tenaa hyɛn mu fii Pafo kɔɔ Perge a ɛwɔ Pamfilia no; ɛhɔ na Yohane a ne din baako nso ne Marko no gyaw wɔn san kɔɔ Yerusalem.
14 Kodwa bona bedabula besuka ePerga, bafika eAntiyoki esePisidiya; ngosuku lwesabatha basebengena esinagogeni, bahlala phansi.
Wofi Perge no, wɔkɔɔ Antiokia a ɛwɔ Pisidia. Eduu Homeda no, wɔkɔɔ hyiadan mu kɔsomee.
15 Kwathi sekufundwe umlayo labaprofethi, abaphathi besinagoge bathumela kubo, besithi: Madoda bazalwane, uba kulelizwi phakathi kwenu lenkuthazo ebantwini, khulumani.
Wɔkenkan Mose Mmara no ne Adiyifo no nsɛm wiei no, hyiadan no mu mpanyimfo no soma kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Anuanom, sɛ mowɔ asɛm bi a mobɛka de ahyɛ nnipa no nkuran a, mowɔ ho kwan sɛ moka.”
16 Kwathi uPawuli esukuma, njalo eqhweba ngesandla, wathi: Madoda maIsrayeli, lani elesaba uNkulunkulu, lalelani.
Afei Paulo sɔre gyina nyamaa ne nsa fii ase kasae se, “Me nuanom Israelfo ne amanamanmufo a mowɔ ha a mosom Onyankopɔn no muntie me!
17 UNkulunkulu walesisizwe sakoIsrayeli wakhetha obaba bethu, wabaphakamisa abantu bengabemzini elizweni leGibhithe, wabakhupha kulo ngengalo ephakemeyo.
Israel Nyankopɔn yii yɛn nenanom ma wɔyɛɛ ɔman kɛse bere a na wɔte Misraim asase so no. Onyankopɔn nam ne tumi kɛse so yii wɔn fii Misraim,
18 Wasebekezelela isimilo sabo okungaba yisikhathi seminyaka engamatshumi amane enkangala.
na ɔhwɛɛ wɔn so wɔ sare so mfe aduanan.
19 Njalo esechithile izizwe eziyisikhombisa elizweni leKhanani, wabehlukanisela ilizwe labo ngenkatho.
Otuu aman ason wɔ Kanaan asase so gui, de asase no maa ne nkurɔfo sɛ wɔn awunyade,
20 Lemva kwalezizinto, okungaba ngokweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amahlanu, wabanika abahluleli kwaze kwaba nguSamuweli umprofethi.
ma wɔtenaa so mfe ahannan ne aduonum. Eyi akyi no ɔmaa atemmufo dii wɔn so kosii sɛ Odiyifo Samuel bae.
21 Njalo kusukela lapho bacela inkosi; uNkulunkulu wasebanika uSawuli indodana kaKishi, indoda yesizwe sakoBhenjamini, okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.
Bere a wɔpɛɛ sɛ wonya ɔhene ma odi wɔn so no, Onyankopɔn de Kis ba Saulo a ofi Benyamin abusua mu no maa wɔn ma odii wɔn so mfe aduanan.
22 Njalo esemkhuphile, wabavusela uDavida waba yinkosi, afakaza langaye ngokuthi: Ngimtholile uDavida kaJese, indoda ngokwenhliziyo yami, ezakwenza intando yami yonke.
Onyankopɔn tuu Saulo ade so na ɔde Dawid sii nʼanan mu. Asɛm a Onyankopɔn ka faa Dawid ho ne sɛ, ‘Mahu sɛ Yisai ba Dawid ne onipa a mepɛ no; ɔyɛ onipa a ɔbɛyɛ nea mepɛ nyinaa.’
23 Enzalweni yalumuntu njengesithembiso, uNkulunkulu uvusele uIsrayeli uMsindisi uJesu;
“Sɛnea Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ ho bɔ no, Yesu a ɔyɛ Dawid aseni no na ɔyɛɛ no Israelfo Agyenkwa.
24 engakafiki yena uJohane wayesetshumayele kuqala ubhabhathizo lokuphenduka kubo bonke abantu bakoIsrayeli.
Ansa na Yesu rebefi nʼadwuma ase no, Yohane kaa adwensakra ho asɛm kyerɛɛ Israelfo se, wɔnsakra mfi wɔn bɔne ho na wɔmma wɔmmɔ wɔn asu.
25 UJohane esegcwalise uhambo lwakhe, wathi: Licabanga ukuthi ngingubani? Kangisuye mina; kodwa khangelani, emva kwami uyeza, engingafanelanga ukukhulula amanyathela enyawo zakhe.
Ansa na Yohane rebewie nʼasɛnka no, obisaa nnipa no se, ‘Mususuw sɛ meyɛ hena? Ɛnyɛ me ne onipa a moretwɛn no no. Ɛrenkyɛ biara na nea moretwɛn no a mensɛ sɛ mɛworɔw ne mpaboa afi ne nan no bɛba.’
26 Madoda bazalwane, bantwana bohlanga lukaAbrahama, lalabo phakathi kwenu abesaba uNkulunkulu, lithunyelwe kini ilizwi lalolusindiso.
“Me nuanom Abraham asefo ne amanamanmufo a mosom Onyankopɔn a mowɔ ha, yɛn nti na Onyankopɔn soma ma wɔde saa nkwagye yi aba.
27 Ngoba labo abahlala eJerusalema lababusi babo kabamazanga lo, bawagcwalisa lamazwi abaprofethi afundwayo isabatha ngesabatha, ngokumlahla;
Esiane sɛ nnipa a na wɔte Yerusalem ne wɔn mpanyimfo nnim sɛ ɔno ne Agyenkwa no, na wɔnte adiyifo no nsɛm a wɔkenkan no Homeda no ase no nti, wobuu Yesu kumfɔ maa adiyifo no nsɛm no baa mu.
28 njalo bengatholi lacala lokufa, bacela kuPilatu ukuthi abulawe.
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔannya afɔbusɛm bi annyina so ammu no kumfɔ de, nanso wɔmaa Pilato kum no.
29 Kwathi sebeqedile konke okulotshiweyo ngaye, bamethula esihlahleni, bamlalisa engcwabeni.
Wɔyɛɛ biribiara a Kyerɛwsɛm no ka fa ne ho wiee no, woyii no fii asennua no so kosiee no.
30 Kodwa uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo;
Nanso Onyankopɔn ma ɔsɔre fii awufo mu,
31 owabonwa insuku ezinengi yilabo ababenyukele laye ukuya eJerusalema besuka eGalili, abangabafakazi bakhe ebantwini.
na ne wusɔre akyi no, oyii ne ho adi nna pii kyerɛɛ wɔn a na wɔne no tu kwan fi Galilea kɔ Yerusalem no. Wɔne nnipa a wodi ne ho adanse kyerɛ Israelfo no.
32 Lathi sitshumayela indaba ezinhle kini zesithembiso esenziwa kubobaba,
“Afei yɛwɔ ha sɛ yɛrebɛka asɛmpa no akyerɛ mo se, Onyankopɔn nam sɔre a ɔmaa Yesu Kristo sɔre fii awufo mu no so ama bɔ a ɔhyɛɛ yɛn nenanom no aba mu.
33 ukuthi uNkulunkulu usigcwalisile sona kithi, abantwana babo, emvusile uJesu, njengoba kulotshiwe futhi kusihlabelelo sesibili ukuthi: Wena uyiNdodana yami, lamuhla mina ngikuzele.
Eyi ne nea wɔakyerɛw wɔ Nnwom a ɛto so abien no mu se, “‘Woyɛ me ba; nnɛ, mayɛ wʼAgya.’
34 Njalo ngokuthi wamvusa kwabafileyo, engasayikubuyela ekuboleni, wakhuluma kanje wathi: Ngizalinika izibusiso ezingcwele lezithembekileyo zikaDavida.
Asɛm a Onyankopɔn ka faa sɔre a ɔma no sɔre fii awufo mu na amma no amporɔw no ne sɛ, “‘Mede nhyira kronkron a mehyɛɛ Dawid ho bɔ no behyira wo.’
35 Ngakho njalo kwenye indawo uthi: Kawuyikunikela oNgcwele wakho abone ukubola.
Wɔaka no wɔ baabi nso se, “‘Woremma wo Kronkronni no mporɔw.’
36 Ngoba uDavida, esekhonze esakhe isizukulwana ngecebo likaNkulunkulu walala, njalo walaliswa laboyise, wabona ukubola;
“Dawid bere so no, ɔsom Onyankopɔn kosii sɛ owu ma wosiee no wɔ ne nenanom nkyɛn pɛɛ, na ne nipadua porɔwee.
37 kodwa lowo uNkulunkulu amvusayo, kakubonanga ukubola.
Nanso nea Onyankopɔn nyan no fii awufo mu no amporɔw.
38 Ngakho kakwaziwe yini, madoda bazalwane, ukuthi ngalowo kutshunyayelwa kini uthethelelo lwezono;
“Anuanom, ɛsɛ sɛ mo nyinaa te ase sɛ ɛnam Yesu so na wɔka bɔnefakyɛ ho asɛm kyerɛ mo.
39 njalo kulo wonke okholwayo uyalungisiswa kukho konke ebelingelungisiswe kukho ngomlayo kaMozisi.
Ɛsɛ sɛ mote ase sɛ obiara a ogye no di no, wɔabu no bem a anka Mose mmara ntumi mmu no no.
40 Ngakho qaphelani ukuthi kalehlelwa yilokhu okwakhulunywa kubaprofethi, okokuthi:
Monhwɛ yiye na adiyifo no nkɔm a wɔhyɛɛ no amma mo so:
41 Khangelani, zideleli, njalo limangale, litshabalale; ngoba mina ngenza umsebenzi ensukwini zenu, umsebenzi elingasoze lawukholwa, nxa umuntu elilandisela.
“‘Mo fɛwdifo! Momma ɛnyɛ mo nwonwa na mo ho nnwiriw mo! Efisɛ merebɛyɛ biribi wɔ wo bere so, na sɛ wɔka kyerɛ wo a, worennye nni!’”
42 Kwathi ekuphumeni kwamaJuda esinagogeni, abezizwe bacela ukuthi lamazwi akhulunywe kubo ngesabatha elilandelayo.
Paulo ne Barnaba refi asɔredan no mu no, nnipa no srɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔmmra Homeda a ɛreba no mmɛkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn bio.
43 Kwathi abesinagoge sebephumile, abanengi kumaJuda labakhonzayo abaphendukela kumaJuda balandela uPawuli loBarnabasi; abakhuluma labo, bebancenga ukuthi bahlale emuseni kaNkulunkulu.
Nnipa no wiee nhyiamu no, Yudafo ne amanamanmufo bebree a wɔasakra aba Yudasom mu no tu dii Paulo ne Barnaba akyi. Asomafo no tuu wɔn fo, hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran sɛ wɔntena ase Onyankopɔn adom mu.
44 Kwathi ngesabatha elilandelayo babuthana kwaphose kwaba ngumuzi wonke ukuzwa ilizwi likaNkulunkulu.
Homeda a edi so no dui no, ɛkame ayɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔte kurow no mu no nyinaa betiee Awurade asɛm.
45 Kodwa amaJuda ebona amaxuku agcwaliswa ngomona, aphikisa izinto ezakhulunywa nguPawuli, ephikisa njalo ehlambaza.
Yudafo no huu nnipakuw no, wɔn ani bere ma wɔsɔre gyee nsɛm a Paulo reka no ho akyinnye kasa tiaa no.
46 Kodwa uPawuli loBarnabasi bekhuluma ngesibindi bathi: Kwakudingeka ukuthi ilizwi likaNkulunkulu likhulunywe kini kuqala; kodwa njengoba lilinina, njalo lizigweba ukuthi alifanelanga impilo elaphakade, khangelani, siphendukela kwabezizwe. (aiōnios g166)
Nanso Paulo ne Barnaba de akokoduru kɔɔ so kae se, “Mone nnipa a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔka Onyankopɔn asɛm no kyerɛ mo kan. Na sɛ moapo, na mummu mo ho sɛ nkwa a enni awiei ho hia mo nti, yebegyaw mo hɔ akɔ amanamanmufo no nkyɛn. (aiōnios g166)
47 Ngoba iNkosi isilayile ngokunjalo yathi: Ngikumisile ube yikukhanya kwabezizwe, ube ngowosindiso kuze kube semkhawulweni womhlaba.
Ahyɛde a Awurade de ama yɛn ne sɛ, “‘Mɛma mo ayɛ amanamanmufo nyinaa kanea; ɛnam mo so na wobegye wiasefo nyinaa nkwa.’”
48 Kwathi abezizwe bekuzwa bathokoza, basebelidumisa ilizwi leNkosi, basebekholwa bonke ababemiselwe impilo elaphakade; (aiōnios g166)
Amanamanmufo no tee saa asɛm no, wɔn ani gye ma wɔkamfoo Awurade asɛm no, na wɔn a wɔayi wɔn ama nkwa a enni awiei no bɛyɛɛ agyidifo. (aiōnios g166)
49 lelizwi leNkosi lasatshalaliswa elizweni lonke.
Na Awurade asɛm no trɛw ɔmantam no mu nyinaa.
50 Kodwa amaJuda avusa abesifazana abakhonzayo abadumileyo lezikhulu zomuzi, avusela uPawuli loBarnabasi ukuzingelwa, abaxotsha emikhawulweni yawo.
Nanso Yudafo no tuu nnipa atitiriw a wɔwɔ kurow no mu no ne mmea Nyamesurofo a na wɔwɔ hɔ bi a wodi mu no aso ma wɔtaa Paulo ne Barnaba, pam wɔn fii ɔman no mu.
51 Kodwa babathintithela uthuli lwenyawo zabo, bafika eIkoniyuma.
Enti asomafo no poroporow wɔn anan ase mfutuma guu wɔn so fii hɔ kɔɔ Ikoniom.
52 Njalo abafundi bagcwaliswa ngentokozo loMoya oNgcwele.
Anigye ne Honhom Kronkron hyɛɛ asuafo a na wɔwɔ Antiokia no ma.
