2 Corinthians 7

1 Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Me nnamfo pa, wɔahyɛ yɛn saa bɔ yi nyinaa. Enti momma yɛntew yɛn ho mfi biribiara a egu ɔhonam anaa ɔkra no ho fi ho na yɛntena ase wɔ Onyankopɔn mu mfa ntew yɛn ho kronkron.

2 Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.

Mummue mo koma mu mma yɛn. Yɛnyɛɛ obiara bɔne. Yensisii obiara na yetwaa obiara dwow nso.

3 I do not say this to condemn you. I have said before that you so occupy our hearts that we live and die together with you.

Merenka saa asɛm yi mfa ngu mo anim ase. Sɛnea madi kan aka no, yɛdɔ mo nti daa sɛ yewu o, yɛte ase o, yɛbata mo ho.

4 Great is my confidence in you; great is my pride in you; I am filled with encouragement; in all our troubles my joy overflows.

Migye mo di nti mede mo hoahoa me ho. Yɛn haw nyinaa mu no, mempaa abaw ɛ. Mede ahosɛpɛw retu mmirika no.

5 For when we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were pressed from every direction—conflicts on the outside, fears within.

Mpo yeduu Makedonia no, yɛanhome. Na ɔhaw abunkam hɔnom, akasakasa wɔ wɔn ntam na ehu ahyɛ yɛn so.

6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,

Onyankopɔn a ɔhyɛ wɔn a wɔpa abaw den no nam Tito ba a ɔbae no so hyɛɛ yɛn den.

7 and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.

Ɛnyɛ ne ba a ɔbae no nko, na mmom ka a ɔbɛkaa se mohyɛɛ no nkuran no. Ɔkaa sɛnea mopɛ sɛ muhu me no kyerɛɛ me. Ɔkaa sɛnea mudii yaw ne sɛnea na moasiesie mo ho sɛ mobɛbɔ me ho ban no; enti mprempren, ama mʼani agye sen kan no.

8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Although I did regret it, I now see that my letter caused you sorrow, but only for a short time.

Sɛ me krataa a mekyerɛw mo no hyɛɛ mo awerɛhow a, ɛnyɛ me yaw sɛ mekyerɛwee. Mfiase no ɛhaw me nanso mprempren de, ɛnhaw me. Minim sɛ krataa no mu nsɛm how mo werɛ bere tiaa bi.

9 And now I rejoice, not because you were made sorrowful, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you felt the sorrow that God had intended, and so were not harmed in any way by us.

Nanso mprempren de, mʼani agye; ɛnyɛ sɛ memaa mo werɛ howee no nti, na mmom sɛ mo awerɛhow no ama moasesa mo akwan. Onyankopɔn na ɔmaa mo werɛ howee enti yɛn de, yɛanhaw mo.

10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

Awerɛhow a Onyankopɔn de baa mo so no nti, moanya ahonu bi a ɛnam so de mo bɛkɔ nkwagye mu; enti ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛyɛ mo yaw. Nanso awerɛhow a wiase de brɛ yɛn no de, ɛde owu na ɛba.

11 Consider what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what vindication! In every way you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

Monhwɛ nea Onyankopɔn nam how a ɔmaa mo werɛ how no so ayɛ. Mopɛ sɛ mufi mo koma mu kyerɛ sɛ munni fɔ. Mo bo afuw. Mo ho adwiriw mo. Mo ho pere mo pɛ sɛ muhu sɛ atɛntrenee ayɛ adwuma. Moakyerɛ sɛ mudi bem wɔ asɛm yi ho.

12 So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong or the one who was harmed, but rather that your earnestness on our behalf would be made clear to you in the sight of God.

Ɛwɔ mu sɛ mekyerɛw saa krataa no de, nanso ɛnyɛ obi a ɔyɛ bɔne anaa obi a wɔyɛ no bɔne nti na mekyerɛwee. Na mmom sɛnea mo ankasa mubehu ɔkwan a moafa so atu mo ho asi hɔ ama yɛn wɔ Onyankopɔn anim no.

13 On account of this, we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were even more delighted by the joy of Titus. For his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.

Ɛno na ɛhyɛ yɛn nkuran no. Ɛnyɛ nkuran a ɛhyɛɛ yɛn no nko. Tito nso nam gye a mugyee no maa nʼani gyee no so maa yɛn nso yɛn ani gyei.

14 Indeed, I was not embarrassed by anything I had boasted to him about you. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus has proved to be true as well.

Mede mo ahoahoa me ho akyerɛ no na moanni me nhuammɔ. Daa yɛka nokware kyerɛ mo na hoa a mede mo hoahoa me ho kyerɛ Tito no nso aba mu.

15 And his affection for you is even greater when he remembers that you were all obedient as you welcomed him with fear and trembling.

Enti sɛ ɔkae sɛnea mo nyinaa pɛɛ sɛ moyɛ osetie ma no na mode obu ne nidi gyee no fɛw so no a, ɛhyɛ ɔdɔ a ɔdɔ mo no mu den.

16 I rejoice that I can have complete confidence in you.

Ɛyɛ me anigye sɛ metumi de me ho nyinaa ato mo so.
