2 Corinthians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Timothy the brother, to the congregation of God that is at Corinth, with all the sanctified who are in the whole of Achaia.

Krataa yi firi Paulo a Onyankopɔn ayi no sɛ Kristo Yesu ɔsomafoɔ no ne Timoteo a ɔyɛ yɛn nuanom no mu baako nkyɛn, Mede saa krataa yi rekɔma Onyankopɔn asafo a ɛwɔ Korinto ne ahotefoɔ a wɔwɔ Akaiaman mu no nyinaa:

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Adom ne asomdwoeɛ a ɛfiri yɛn Agya Onyankopɔn ne Awurade Yesu Kristo nka mo.

3 Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all encouragement,

Momma yɛnna Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo Agya no a ɔyɛ mmɔborɔhunu Agya na ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn a awerɛkyekyerɛ nyinaa firi no no ase.

4 who encourages us in all our affliction, in order for us to be able to encourage those in every affliction, through the encouragement of which we ourselves are encouraged by God.

Ɔkyekyere yɛn werɛ wɔ yɛn amaneɛ nyinaa mu na yɛnam awerɛkyekyerɛ a yɛn ankasa anya afiri Onyankopɔn nkyɛn no so atumi akyekyere afoforɔ a wɔwɔ amaneɛ ahodoɔ mu no werɛ.

5 Because, as the sufferings of the Christ abound to us, so also our encouragement abounds through the Christ.

Sɛdeɛ yɛahunu amane wɔ Kristo mu no, saa ara nso na yɛnya Kristo awerɛkyekyerɛ a ɛdɔɔso no.

6 But whether we are oppressed, it is for your encouragement and salvation, which works by endurance from the same sufferings that we also experience (and our hope for you is steadfast), or we are encouraged, it is for your encouragement and salvation,

Mo awerɛkyekyerɛ ne mo nkwagyeɛ enti yɛhunu amane. Ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ Kristo kyekye yɛn werɛ a, yɛn nso yɛnam so bɛtumi akyekye mo werɛ. Ɛno bɛma mo anya ntoboaseɛ ahunu amane sɛ yɛn nso.

7 knowing that, as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so also of the encouragement.

Enti, gyidie a yɛwɔ wɔ mo mu no nhinhim. Yɛnim sɛ, sɛdeɛ mo ne yɛn hunu amane no, saa ara nso na awerɛkyekyerɛ a yɛnya no, monya bi.

8 For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about our affliction that happened to us in Asia, because we were extraordinarily weighed down, above strength, so as for us to despair even to be alive.

Anuanom, yɛpɛ sɛ yɛtwe mo adwene ba ɔhaw a ɛtoo yɛn wɔ Asia mantam mu no so. Amane a yɛfaa mu no so, na na emu yɛ duru enti yɛn asetena mu anidasoɔ nyinaa yeraeɛ.

9 But we ourselves have had the sentence of death in ourselves, so that we should not be trusting in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead.

Nokorɛm yɛgye too mu sɛ yɛrebɛwu. Saa asɛm yi siiɛ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a yɛremfa yɛn ho nto yɛn ankasa so, na mmom, yɛde yɛn ho bɛto Onyankopɔn a ɔma awufoɔ sɔre no so.

10 Who rescued us out of so great a death, and does rescue, in whom we have hoped that he will also still rescue.

Wayi yɛn afiri saa owuo amanehunu yi mu na ɔbɛkɔ so agye yɛn. Ɔno na yɛde yɛn ani ato no so sɛ, sɛ mokɔ so bɔ mpaeɛ ma yɛn a,

11 And of you who help together by supplication for us (a gift for us from many persons, because of many), so that there may be gratitude about you.

ɔbɛgye yɛn bio. Yei kyerɛ sɛ, ɔbɛbua mpaeɛ dodoɔ biara a mobɔ ma yɛn no, na Onyankopɔn bɛhyira yɛn, na dodoɔ no ara ama wɔn nne so de ada no ase ama yɛn.

12 For our pride is this (the testimony from our conscience), that we behave in the world in the simplicity and purity of God, not by fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, and especially toward you.

Yɛhoahoa yɛn ho sɛ yɛn ahonim mmu yɛn fɔ, yɛatena ase nokorɛdie mu, ne titire ne ɛberɛ a yɛwɔ mo nkyɛn no. Ɛnyɛ ewiase nyansa na ɛkyerɛ yɛn kwan. Mmom, yɛn akwankyerɛ firi Onyankopɔn adom no mu.

13 For we write no other thing to you, but rather what ye read or also acknowledge. And I hope ye will also acknowledge until the end,

Nsɛm a mobɛtumi akenkan, ate aseɛ nko na yɛtwerɛ de brɛ mo. Mewɔ anidasoɔ sɛ, mobɛte biribiara a

14 as also ye did acknowledge us in part, because we are your boast, just as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

monnte aseɛ yie no ase daakye sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, da a Awurade Yesu bɛba no, mode yɛn bɛhoahoa mo ho na yɛn nso yɛde mo ahoahoa yɛn ho.

15 And in this confidence I intended to come to you earlier, so that ye might have a second benefit,

Na menim sɛ saa asɛm yi bɛba mu. Ɛno enti na mehyehyɛɛ sɛ mɛba abɛsra mo na moanya nhyira mprenu.

16 and to pass through you into Macedonia, and to come again from Macedonia to you, and by you to be helped on the way toward Judea.

Meyɛɛ mʼadwene sɛ, sɛ merekɔ Makedonia a, mɛba mo nkyɛn, na meresane nso a, mafa mo nkyɛn ansa na makɔ Yudea.

17 Therefore intending this, did I accordingly employ anything in lightness? Or what I decide, do I decide according to flesh, so that it would be with me the yes, yes and the no, no?

Modwene sɛ mantumi ansi mʼadwene pi wɔ deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ meyɛ anaa? Anaasɛ mete sɛ obi a ɔka sɛ “Aane” anaa “Dabi” sɛdeɛ ɛbɛsɔ afoforɔ ani?

18 But God is faithful, because our word toward you became not, yes and no.

Onyankopɔn yɛ ɔnokwafoɔ. Enti sɛ meka sɛ yɛn mmuaeɛ yɛ “Aane” ɛberɛ biara a, ɛyɛ “Aane”, ɛnnyɛ “Dabi” da a.

19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ who was proclaimed among you by us (by me and Silvanus and Timothy) became not, yes and no, but in him has become, yes.

Ɛfiri sɛ, Yesu Kristo, Onyankopɔn Ba no a me Paulo, Silas ne Timoteo kaa ne ho asɛm kyerɛɛ mo no nsesa. Ɔnnka “Aane” ne “Dabi” da. Ɛberɛ biara ɔdi nʼasɛm so.

20 For as many as be promises of God, in him is the Yes, and in him the Truly, for glory to God through us.

Ɔno mu na Onyankopɔn bɔhyɛ nyinaa awie pɛyɛ. Yei enti, yɛnam Yesu Kristo so ka “Amen” de hyɛ Onyankopɔn animuonyam.

21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ, and who anointed us, is God.

Afei, Onyankopɔn no ankasa na ɔma yɛne mo tumi gyina pintinn wɔ Kristo mu. Ɔno na ɔsraa yɛn

22 He also is who put a seal on us, and who gave the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.

faa yɛn sɛ ne deɛ, ɛnna ɔde ne Honhom Kronkron no hyɛɛ yɛn akoma mu de sii deɛ ɔwɔ ma yɛn nyinaa so dua.

23 But I call God for a witness upon my soul, that I did not yet come to Corinth, sparing you.

Mefrɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ mʼadanseɛ. Ɔnim mʼakoma mu. Sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛnya kwan agye mo ahome enti na mankɔ Korinto no.

24 Not because we lord over your faith, but are co-workmen of your joy, for by faith ye stand.

Ɛnyɛ yɛn adwene ne sɛ yɛbɛhyɛ mo ama mo agye biribi adi, na mmom, mo ahotɔ enti na yɛne mo yɛ adwuma. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnam mo ankasa gyidie so na mobɛgyina pintinn.
