2 Corinthians 13

1 This is the third time I am coming to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”

Nsra a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa a merebɛsra mo ni. Atwerɛsɛm no ka sɛ, “Adanseɛ a nnipa baanu anaa baasa bɛdi no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa.”

2 I already warned you the second time I was with you. So now in my absence I warn those who sinned earlier and everyone else: If I return, I will not spare anyone,

Ɛberɛ a mebaa mo nkyɛn deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no, mebɔɔ mo kɔkɔ bi. Mereti mu bio seesei a menni mo nkyɛn yi. Sɛ mesane ba bio a, mo anaa nnipa afoforɔ bi a wɔayɛ bɔne no, meremfa wɔn ho nkyɛ wɔn,

3 since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.

ɛfiri sɛ, mopɛ sɛ mohunu nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi sɛ Kristo nam me so kasa. Ɔnnyɛ mmerɛ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ mo mu adwuma, na mmom, ɔwɔ tumi wɔ mo mu.

4 For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. And though we are weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him to serve you.

Ɛwom sɛ mmerɛyɛ mu na wɔbɔɔ no asɛnnua mu, nanso Onyankopɔn tumi mu na ɔte ase yi. Yɛyɛ mmerɛ deɛ, nanso yɛn ayɔnkofa a yɛne no wɔ enti, yɛne no bɛtena wɔ Onyankopɔn tumi mu.

5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Can’t you see for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you actually fail the test?

Monsɔ mo ho nhwɛ na mommu mo ho atɛn nhwɛ sɛ mote ase wɔ gyidie mu anaa. Monim yie sɛ Kristo Yesu te mo mu anaa? Sɛ ɔnte mo mu a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ moantumi sɔhwɛ no.

6 And I hope you will realize that we have not failed the test.

Menim yie sɛ mobɛhunu sɛ yɛanni nkoguo.

7 Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not that we will appear to have stood the test, but that you will do what is right, even if we appear to have failed.

Afei, yɛbɔ mpaeɛ srɛ Onyankopɔn sɛ morennyɛ biribiara a ɛnnyɛ. Yɛmmpɛ sɛ nnipa bɛhunu sɛ yɛwɔ tumi bi wɔ mo so. Sɛ mpo sɛ wɔhunu yɛn sɛ yɛsɛ nnipa a yɛadi nkoguo wɔ yɛn adwuma mu a, yɛpɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛpɛ sɛ mobɛyɛ deɛ ɛyɛ de adi nkonim.

8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

Yɛrentumi nsɔre ntia nokorɛ, na mmom, nokorɛ nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛgyina ma no.

9 In fact, we rejoice when we are weak but you are strong, and our prayer is for your perfection.

Sɛ yɛhunu sɛ yɛyɛ mmerɛ na moyɛ den a, na yɛn ani agye. Enti, yɛn nso yɛrebɔ mpaeɛ sɛ mobɛyɛ pɛ.

10 This is why I write these things while absent, so that when I am present I will not need to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.

Ɛno enti na meretwerɛ saa krataa yi abrɛ mo sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ meba a, merennyina tumi a Awurade de ama me sɛ memfa mmoa mo na monnyini na mo mu antete no so, na me ne mo anni no anibereɛ so.

11 Finally, brothers, rejoice! Aim for perfect harmony, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

Enti, anuanom, makra mo! Mompere nhwehwɛ ade pa; montie mʼafotuo; mo ne mo ho mo ho nka na montena ase asomdwoeɛ mu. Na ɔdɔ ne asomdwoeɛ Onyankopɔn no ne mo bɛtena.

12 Greet one another with a holy kiss.

Momfa onuadɔ nkyeakyea mo ho mo ho.

13 All the saints send you greetings.

Onyankopɔn nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa kyeakyea mo.

14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

Yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo adom ne Onyankopɔn dɔ ne Honhom Kronkron no ayɔnkofa nka mo nyinaa.
