1 Corinthians 3
1 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ.
Nokware, anuanom, mantumi ankasa ankyerɛ mo sɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ Honhom no. Na ɛsɛ sɛ mekasa kyerɛ mo sɛ wiasefo a wɔte sɛ mmofra a wɔwɔ Kristo mu gyidi.
2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready,
Memaa mo nufusu. Mamma mo aduan a ɛyɛ den, efisɛ na enye mma mo. Na mprempren ara mpo enye mma mo,
3 for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?
efisɛ moda so te hɔ sɛ wiasefo. Sɛ anibere wɔ mo mu na mutwa mo ho ne mo ho mo ho nya akasakasa a, so ɛnna no adi sɛ moyɛ wiasefo a mote hɔ ma wiase?
4 For when one of you says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere men?
Sɛ obi ka se, “Me de, midi Paulo akyi” na ɔfoforo nso ka se, “Me nso mewɔ Apolo afa” a, ɛnkyerɛ sɛ moyɛ wiasefo ana?
5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, as the Lord has assigned to each his role.
Mibisa se Apolo yɛ hena? Na Paulo nso yɛ hena? Yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn asomfo kwa a ɛnam yɛn so na munya gyidi. Adwuma a Onyankopɔn de ama yɛn mu biara sɛ yɛnyɛ no na yɛyɛ.
6 I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.
Miduaa aba no na Apolo guguu so nsu, nanso Onyankopɔn na ɔmaa afifide no nyinii.
7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.
Obi a oduae ne obi a oguguu so nsu no ho nhia. Onyankopɔn na ne ho hia, efisɛ ɔno na ɔmaa afifide no nyinii.
8 He who plants and he who waters are one in purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor.
Nsonoe biara nni onipa a odua ne nea ogugu so nsu no ntam. Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ dwuma a wɔn mu biara dii so na wama wɔn so ade.
9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.
Yɛn de, yɛyɛ aboafo a yɛne Onyankopɔn reyɛ adwuma na mo nso moyɛ Onyankopɔn afuw. Bio, moyɛ Onyankopɔn dan.
10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds.
Menam adom a Onyankopɔn de maa me no so yɛɛ ɔdanseni pa adwuma. Metoo fapem na onipa foforo nso resi atoa so. Nanso ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara fa ɔkwan pa so si.
11 For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Efisɛ Onyankopɔn ayɛ Yesu Kristo nko ɔdan no fapem enti wɔrentumi nto fapem foforo biara bio.
12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,
Ebinom de sikakɔkɔɔ, anaa dwetɛ anaa aboɔden abo na ebesi wɔn dan wɔ fapem no so; afoforo nso de nnua anaa sare anaa baamu.
13 his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.
Obiara dwuma a odii no bɛda adi da no; da no gya no bɛda obiara adwuma adi. Ogya no bɛsɔ ahwɛ, ahu dwuma ko no ye a eye.
14 If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.
Sɛ nea onipa ko no de sii fapem no so no tumi gyina ogya no ano a, ebenya akatua.
15 If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.
Na sɛ obi adwuma hyew wɔ ogya no ano a, akatua no bɛbɔ no, nanso ɔno de, obenya nkwa sɛ obi a waguan afi gyaframa mu.
16 Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?
Munnim sɛ moyɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan na Onyankopɔn Honhom no te mo mu ana?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
Enti obiara a ɔbɛsɛe Onyankopɔn asɔredan no, Onyankopɔn bɛsɛe no. Efisɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan yɛ kronkron, na mo na moyɛ nʼasɔredan no.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise. (aiōn g165)
Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara daadaa ne ho. Sɛ obi a ɔka mo ho fa ne ho sɛ ɔyɛ wiase yi mu onyansafo a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkwasea ansa na wabɛyɛ onyansafo. (aiōn g165)
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”
Efisɛ nea wiase bu no nyansa no yɛ asɛm a aba nni mu wɔ Onyankopɔn ani so. Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Ɔkyere anyansafo wɔ wɔn anitew mu.”
20 And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”
Bio, Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se, “Awurade nim onipa nsusuwii. Onim sɛ enkosi hwee.”
21 Therefore, stop boasting in men. All things are yours,
Enti ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara de nea onipa tumi yɛ hoahoa ne ho na biribiara yɛ mo dea.
22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. All of them belong to you,
Paulo, Apolo ne Petro, saa wiase yi, nkwa ne owu, nnɛ ne daakye nyinaa yɛ mo dea,
23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
na moyɛ Kristo dea na Kristo nso yɛ Onyankopɔn dea.
